| It's only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it "extremely embarrassing" in a company-wide e-mail - which, 1 , he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something 2 in the company should ever do. I wish I 3 give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could explain it somehow - 4 it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I'm 5 , experienced and I know better. 6 I work with some very kind and compassionate(富于同情心的) people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to 7 by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar 8 they have made. Evidently I'm not the only " 9 " person here. One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who 10 the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely 11 about her work, and to be honest I was a little nervous about how she would 12 to such an extremely embarrassing incident. As I expected , Lois didn't pass over the 13 when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly, 14 with empathetic consideration. She listened to my 15 . Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity partly to a(n) 16 . "It happened", she said, "There's nothing you can do to 17 that. It happened. But it's over now. It's 18 . It's in the past. You need to let it go, and move on." And with that she returned her 19 to her work, as if to say, "We're done here." I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those 20 words: It's over. It's done. Let it go. And mostly, move on. | ||||

| I have had the privilege of meeting some very interesting people over the years. Some of these people made a great impact on my life, my views and personal philosophy. Others I met had the opposite effect because they represented attitudes, behavior and beliefs that were directly opposed to my views on life and my feelings about the value of all people. One such person I met was a woman in her late seventies. She had been an active woman, raised a family and had engaged in helping others, and developed her own crafts to sell at selected craft shows throughout the year. When I met her for the first time, I couldn't believe that she was in her late seventies - I would have placed her age more in her early sixties. After speaking with her for a short period, it was only then that the conversation seemed to turn to age. And, it wasn't a conversation about the frailty (脆 弱) of age, or the aches and pains, or about pleasures lost. The conversation, instead, focused on her zest for life and all the things that she was in the planning stages of doing. And, what she was planning to do wasn't about going to a seniors group so she and her husband could go on a bus tour. What she was planning was an excursion (旅行) to Europe, unaccompanied by any tour operator or taken around the usual sights by a local guide. She really impressed me a lot because of her zest for life; for an uncompromising view of the future not in the least affected by her age; for the undying faith in knowing that there was a great deal of life yet to be discovered and experienced and yearning for each new image, discussion, smell, cultural uniqueness or experience. |
| 1.From the text we know_____________. |
| A. the woman had much sight-seeing around the world. B. the woman was willing to help others. C. the woman made great wealth by selling crafts. D. the woman talked a lot about her age. |
| 2.The old woman impressed the author because ______________. |
| A. she kept young in spite of her age B. she had experienced a lot in life C. she never gave in to the aches and pains in life D. she had a positive outlook on life |
| 3.What kind of tone does the author use to describe the woman? |
| A. Doubtful. C. Concerning. C. Sympathetic. D. Appreciative. |
| 4.The underlined word "zest" in the fourth paragraph probably means"_________". |
| A. enthusiasm B. concept C. view D. satisfaction |

| According to a new study by Israel researchers from University of Haifa, posting blogs to express feelings and emotions is therapeutic for children aged 13-17. Psychology professors Meyran Boniel-Nissim and Azy Barak have found that a teenager writing a publicly-viewed blog on the Internet is more effective for relieving stress rather than keeping a private diary. The study, published in the journal Psychological Services, supports that expressing oneself through writing can be therapeutic. To conduct the research, Boniel-Nissim and Barak randomly selected Israeli high school students who displayed a certain degree of stress. The teenagers were then divided into six groups. Two groups were asked to post blogs twice a week about their social difficulties, but only one of them was asked to open the blogs for comments. The next set of groups were also asked to blog twice a week to post about whatever was going on in their mind, again with one group allowing comments. The two control groups were asked to keep an old-fashioned private diary. The researchers then collected the blog posts and diaries to discuss the adolescents' emotional and social position. From the research, they saw that the greatest improvement in mood was with the bloggers who wrote about their personal troubles and allowed people to interact with their posts. The research also noted that the comments were mostly positive and constructive. Boniel-Nissim and Barak said that the commentators' interactions helped the bloggers while they were distressed. The conclusive research noted that expressing yourself on the Internet not only let others know what was personally going on with you, but also helped you figure out some things about yourself too. |
| 1. The underlined word "therapeutic" in Paragraph 1 can be best explained as " ____ ". |
| A. attractive to teens B. addictive for children C. making people feel calm and relaxed D. able to be easily hurt |
| 2.___________were selected for the research. |
| A. Those who blogged regularly. B. Those who suffered from stress. C. Those who had never blogged before. D. Those who had poor social skills. |
| 3. The research shows that teens benefit most when ____ . |
| A. they blog and allow comments B. they discuss their study on the blog C. they keep a traditional diary D. they comment on someone else's blog |
| 4.We can infer from the last paragraph that blogging _________. |
| A. should not always be opened to comments B. is most useful in improving one's mood C. is not an effective way to express one's feelings D. can help students see their problems better |

| On October 23, 2011, David Pologruto, a high school physics teacher, was stabbed (刺) by his smart student Jason Haffizulla. Jason got straight A's and was determined to study medicine at Harvard, yet this was his downfall. His physics teacher gave Jason a B, a mark Jason believed would undermine (损害) his entrance to Harvard. After receiving his B, Jason took a butcher knife to school and stabbed his physics teacher. How can someone as smart as Jason do something so dumb? Studies show there is little or no correlation between IQ and emotional intelligence. During my early university years, I regarded myself as an intelligent guy. I got good marks in mathematics, physics, and other subjects. I thought such skills would surely give me a bright future. After one year of study with decent marks, I began to see two major classes of students. The first category of students turned up to few lectures, partied every weekend, enjoyed a great social life, and did minimal work to pass courses. The second category of students were intelligent and hard workers who got good grades and were very focused on their studies. Surely would these intelligent and hard-working students find the great jobs before the other lazier class of students? Not so. Students are often shocked upon graduation that their qualifications are not as important as they once thought. Graduates enter the workforce only to realize that co-workers hate them and less intelligent people are the ones receiving promotions. Educational skills are useless in some industries when interpersonal skills are absent. You can have great ideas, theories, and solve complex problems, but if you cannot effectively communicate in a persuasive and exciting manner by relating to your fellow humans, you will face an uphill battle in whatever challenges you encounter. It's not that people dislike you because of your intelligence; it's that people dislike you because you're rude and not understanding. The intelligent person with poor communication skills is insensitive or unaware of others' emotions. |
| 1. Jason Haffizulla stabbed his physics teacher because _____ . |
| A. he was unfairly treated by his teacher B. he was disappointed with his downfall C. he was not smart enough at studies D. he got a worse mark than usual |
| 2.We can infer from the third paragraph that the author ____ in his early university years. |
| A. didn't think communication skills were as important as intelligence B. didn't work hard C. belonged to the first category of students D. could keep a balance between social life and studies |
| 3. Intelligent people are hated because _____ . |
| A. they can solve more complex problems B. they can't settle the challenges they meet C. they are envied for their intelligence D. they are not understanding enough |
| 4. The main purpose of the text is to tell us ____ . |
| A. the relationship between IQ and emotional intelligence B. what kind of students can succeed in college C. smart people may have poorer communication skills D. intelligent students will meet more challenges at work |

| An "apple polisher" is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a bribe(贿赂),but is close to it. All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high offices ? just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed. There are other phrases meaning the same thing as "apple-polishing" ?? "soft-soaping" or "butter-up". A gift is just one way to "soft-soap" somebody, or to "butter him up". Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise ?? telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is. Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love or hear it ? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who gets so little of it. We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it. But we just lap it up for its food value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves. Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣).They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless power. He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery. |
| 1.Which of the following activities has nothing to do with "apple-polishing" ? |
| A. A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks B. An employee tells his boss how good he is at management C. A knight(骑士)is said to be of limitless power by his followers D. A teacher praised his students for their talent and wisdom. |
| 2.Which of the following statement about flattery is TRUE according to the author ? |
| A. Too much flattery can carry us away B. Flattery is too empty to do people any good C. Flattery can get nothing but excessive(过度的)pride D. Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people. |
| 3. King Canute of Denmark and England took his followers to the seashore because __________. |
| A. he was sick of his normal B. he disliked being overpraised any more C. he wanted them to realize how wise he was D. he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king |
| 4. The author thinks that flattery can do good to those who _________. |
| A. are really excellent B. lack confidence C. are politicians or in high offices D. think highly of themselves |

| Many of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage(野人) is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently-this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done-is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized people ought to be able to find some way of setting their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only has it won, but because it has won, it had been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might(权利) is right. |
| 1.The author thinks that the conquerors and generals and soldiers ________. |
| A. only appear glorious in history books B. are greater than any other people C. are not as great as described in history books D. do not really help civilization forward |
| 2. As it is indicated in the passage, the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier is put on the highest pillars in the great cities of the world mainly because ________. |
| A. people respect them very much B. they fought bravely to protect their cities C. people think they fought too brutally(野蛮地) D. they conquered many cities and countries |
| 3.What is the writer's attitude towards the countries that ruled over a large number of other countries ? |
| A. Positive. B. Critical. C. Ironic. D. Respectful. |
| 4.The author says that civilized people________. |
| A. should not have any quarrels to settle B. should not fight when there are no quarrels to settle C. should settle their quarrels without fighting D. should settle their quarrels by killing the other side |
