Born in Australia without arms or legs, 30yearold Nick Vujicic has become an international symbol of victory.His life has been filled with one hurdle after the next.But you’ll hear no selfpity from Vujicic, whose book, Unstoppable, was published last month. “My limbless challenge remains.I cannot change that，”says Vujicic, who counts skydiving and surfing among his hobbies.“But what I can, and did change is my attitude.”

It is Vujicic’s spirit that has made him a sellout speaker, traveling the world to share his story.Describing low points in his life, including a suicide attempt at age 10 and a failing business in his 20s, he says the “three Fs” are what got him through：friends, family and faith.“I can honestly say, the fear of being alone during the most difficult times in my life was worse than living without arms and legs ... Hard times make you humble (卑微)．You realize that you do need people to help you when you are not able to do it all yourself.”

A few years ago, confronted with the increasing business debt, Vujicic says he nearly gave up to selfdestructive thoughts. But he set small goals: Get out of bed, eat breakfast, leave the house.Those small successes built his confidence to move forward to the next level.“There is nothing about failure that is easy，” he says.“But it is also true that our failures in life teach us to embrace every small victory. Success is that much sweeter when you have struggled to reach it.”

Family and friends are a safety net，including wife Kanae who is expecting their first child.“My parents always taught me, ’You don’t know what you are able to do until you try’” he recalls.“The first time you fail at anything is painful.But you have a decision：Do you give up or do you try again？”

1.Which of the following is TRUE of Nick?

A. He succeeds in motivating others greatly.

B. He believes he can do anything all by himself.

B. Struggling to escape.

C. Setting small goals.

D. Pretending to succeed.

3.What does the text mainly talk about?

A. Parental love.

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons for example, economic (经济的) reasons — why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?

In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.

It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative (保守的) and do not like change.

Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move_things_forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.

1.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?

A. Some of them are not attractive.

B. Most of them ate too expensive to preserve.

C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings.

D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.

2.What is the author’s attitude towards building new buildings in historic areas?

A. Negative. B. Indifference.

C. Object. D. Support.

3.By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “________”．

A. destroy old buildings

B. put things in a different place

C. choose new architectural styles

D. respect people’s feelings for historical buildings

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To explain why people dislike change.

B. To warn that we could end up living in caves.

C. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.

D. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.

In Antarctica，when the long dark winter gives way to spring, ice begins to melt, and the sun stays in the sky all night long.

Into this brightly lit world, the large gray head of a Weddell seal (韦德尔海豹) appears through a crack in the ice. The seal takes several deep breaths, and then she opens her mouth, turning her head from side to side. With her teeth, she gets rid of bits of ice. Seals are mammals, and they need to breathe air, for which Weddell seals use their teeth to make sure their breathing holes stay open.

The seal makes the hole bigger, and when she can fit her large body through it, she jumps out onto the ice — she is getting ready to have a baby. On the ice shelf, the Weddell seal gives birth to a pup (小海豹). The pup is about three feet long and is covered with thick fur that protects it from the cold wind. The pup drinks its mother’s milk and grows quickly. Within a few weeks, it is more than six feet long. Under the seal’s skin is a thick layer of fat called blubber, which keeps the seal warm in its frozen world.

When the pup is about two weeks old, it begins to dive with its mother. They slide through the breathing hole into the water below the ice, where the pup learns to swim, diving deeper and deeper. In order to stay underwater, it must learn to hold its breath and control its heart rate.

Below the ice, the sun shines brightly through the hole. Finding the opening to breathe is easy, but getting back onto the slippery ice can be difficult for a young seal. With practice and its mother’s help, the pup soon feels at home both on the ice and under it.

The young seal spends more and more time below the ice, where it learns to hunt for food. When the pup is about two months old, it will have to feed itself independently. When the pup becomes an adult, it will swim farther out in search of food, but it will always live on or under the ice.

1.Paragraph 2 is mainly about ________.

A. the function of Weddell seals’ teeth

B. the living conditions of Weddell seals

C. how Weddell seals move under the ice

D. how Weddell seals keep their breathing holes open

2.According to Paragraph 3, the pup ________.

A. grows slowly

B. is born in winter

C. is born under the sea

D. is covered with thick fur

3.The pup begins learning to swim and dive when it is about ________.

A. two days old B. two weeks old

C. two months old D. two years old

4.For a young Weddell seal, ________.

A. its father’s help is important

B. getting onto the ice shelf is easy

C. finding the breathing hole is easy

D. learning to hunt for food is unnecessary

As we know, it’s the beginning of the end for TV. Apple has released Apple TV, a tiny white box that connects the shows and movies you’ve downloaded from the computer, and wirelessly sends them to your TV screen.

No longer will you have to pay a monthly fee to your cable (有线的) company to watch your favourite show. Apple’s iTunes has made it possible to download a TV show for about $ 2, keep it stored on your computer and watch it whenever you want. It’s a blow to the cable networks, which offer services that are often expensive and make hundreds of channels and thousands of shows nothing to watch.

American networks have gone one step further, allowing audiences to watch their shows for free online. If the cable companies don’t keep up with technology, we’ll soon be giving them up.

“This is the biggest kind of entertainment in history，” says Colin Dixon.“I don’t think that traditional broadcasts — cable and satellite — are going away tomorrow, but they must change to keep market share.”

The Internet changes businesses at an unbelievable speed. Now it’s happening with video. Canadians are being kept behind the times. Some Canadian channels are starting to follow American companies. Global offered Survivor: Cook Islands online, and CTV is doing the same for Degrassi: The Next Generation. And cable companies say that video on demand and personal video recording technology can compete with the Net.

“You watch when you want it，” says Michael Lee，adding that the Net doesn’t give viewers the opportunity to just sit on the couch and flip (翻阅) through channels.

However, it takes time.

“Up until this year even the US sites didn’t offer a lot of online content. We’ve seen an explosion of it this fall，” she says.

1.According to the text, Apple TV ________.

A. marks the end of TV

B. makes its users more convenient

C. can download movies from computers

D. can send movies to TV by wire

2.The appearance of Apple’s iTunes means ________.

A. good news for cable companies

B. the cable companies can earn a lot more

C. the serious situation for cable companies

D. the rapid development of technology

3.According to Colin Dixon’s words, which of the following agrees with his idea?

A. Cable companies need to turn to technology for help.

B. Cable and satellite will disappear at last.

C. There’s no need for cable companies to change.

D. Traditional broadcasts are the only entertainment now.

4.According to the text, what does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A. The cable company.

B. The online content.

C. Viewers’ opportunity.

D. The change of cable networks.

Should parents leave all of their money to children and let them live a carefree life without even the necessity of earning money to support themselves? Here are two pieces of news about two celebrities:

Bill Gates: Bill Gates has promised to give all of his $ 58 billion fortune to charity he has set up with his wife, The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which funds health and education projects around the world. He wanted to make a positive contribution to the world.

Zuckerberg: We will give 99% of our Facebook shares during our lives to advance human potential and promote equality. We know this is a small contribution compared to all the resources and talents of those already working on these issues. But we want to do what we can, working alongside many others.

Many world-famous wealthy businessmen choose to donate almost all of their possessions to the charity instead of leaving their fortune to their children. In their opinion, it is better to develop the quality of independence of their children, making them possess the competence of living by themselves.

What do you do when somebody hurts you? Do you want to hurt that person back, or do you hold it against them for the rest of your life? If you answered “yes” to these questions, know that you are like most people. To forgive is something that most people generally have difficulty with.

People don’t forgive readily, because it is easier to hate than to forgive. Some people think to forgive is a sign of weakness, but actually to forgive takes courage and effort.

Forgiveness is a gift from a generous heart. It is not a reward for good behavior. It is not based on whether the person deserves it or whether the person has asked for it.

Besides, forgiveness is an act and a process, which often takes time. The deeper your pain, the longer it usually takes to completely forgive. It is an act because it is not just the words you say, but also your actions which show if you’ve truly forgiven someone.

Forgiveness is necessary because it helps removes the burden of bitterness and hate. It takes a lot of energy to hate and to keep that hate in place. Hate puts unnecessary stress on your body. It is a well-known fact, proven by numerous studies, that bitterness and hate can actually make you sick. The moment that people forgive and let go of their hate, they will start to get well. Forgiveness brings freedom, whereas revenge (报复) is neither sweet nor satisfying.

I have personal experience of this. I used to be very cynical about life and didn’t forgive easily. At the time, I also struggled in every area of my life. Things just didn’t seem to work out for me. It is as if everything that could go wrong, always went wrong. That was until somebody told me to take a look at my attitude. And when I forgave those who wronged me and changed my attitude, everything else changed. It didn’t happen overnight. It took a while, but I could see and feel the difference.

Are things not working out in your life, despite you doing all the “right” things? Is it possible that you are holding “unforgiveness” in your heart? It is worth thinking about.

Introduction	It is common that people find it difficult to forgive those 1.them.
Myth of forgiveness	To forgive is a sign of weakness.

My dearest daughter, as I looked across at you sitting on the sofa watching The X Factor, I noticed that you are no longer a child, and that having just celebrated your 14th birthday, you are now a young woman starting a journey into becoming an adult woman. As I looked at you, I remembered myself at 14, and the vastly different places we are beginning this journey from.

Your identity as a mixed-race young woman, with an English father and a Pakistani mother, has already influenced how you place yourself in this world. As yet, you are unaware of the personal struggles that I took at the age of 25 to marry. How it felt when my mother refused to come to my wedding. The sharp criticisms of the Asian community that such marriages do not work out and always end in divorce. The confidence I had to grow, as we chose to live in a multicultural community, as I refused to be shamed into living in the leafier white suburbs.

Then, at the age of 30, I became your mum with all the joys and struggles this brought, as I refused the Asian traditions for a new baby's arrival. From your birth, your life could not have been more different from mine. I was brought up on a council estate, within a tight-knit extended Muslim family, through which poverty, racism and neglect were woven. I was never given the freedoms or the opportunity to experience new things. Now, as I hear you play your piano. I am grateful that you have these opportunities.

So many doors were closed to me as a young person, and as I fought for small steps of freedom, I soon learned that it was better to do what I wanted without the knowledge of my parents, and so deceit and deception(欺骗) became woven into my life too. The pressures to obey, to be a "good Muslim" girl and keep the family honour, were choking. Behind closed doors at home, the neglect and abuse took place. It was hidden, I felt the shame, lived with the fear and suffered alongside my sister and two younger brothers. Oh, the power we thought our parents had over us! I was convinced that one day my father would indeed beat us so hard that leaving us for dead, he would, as his threats said he would, bury us in the large back garden, and tell the school he had taken us back to Pakistan for good. My sister and I longed for a different blue sky to live under.

As a daughter of immigrant parents, I carried their hopes of a better education for their children--my own veins(血管) pulsing with the hard- work ethic(道德) and need to be grateful for the opportunity of a free education. And it was education that provided me with the strength to find my own blue sky. I fought to leave home to go to university at the age of 18, and never returned to live with my parents again.

Now as you explore your mixed-race heritage, which I hope we have supported you to do with visits to Pakistan and ensuring you go to multi-cultural schools, I want you to take the very best of all that is Asian with you as you become a woman.

I want you to know that although your journey has been vastly different. I am excited as I watch you standing on the threshold of becoming a woman for all the adventures and possibilities the future holds for you.

May you fly your blue sky with grace, confidence and hope as you find your place in this beautiful and crazy world.

Loving you now and always. Mommy

University graduates Mallorie Brodie and Lauren Hasegawa, who invented a smartphone app that tracks construction defects（缺陷）for commercial builders, had a tiger by the tail.

Bridgit, which they founded in 2012, launched a cloud-based communications platform that helped manage defects on construction sites, which can delay projects and result in costly repairs if left unchecked. The smartphone application lets site supervisors take photos of cracks or damaged paint, share them with employees and track the problems to solution.

More than 600 subcontractors used the pilot version in many building sites before the commercial version, called Closeout, officially launched.

Feedback(反馈)was so good that they began to wonder: Why limit their invention to a specific industry? Why not turn it into some kind of a handy tool for consumers too? This became their dilemma. In other words, should they stay the course or look for wider applications of their app?

The experts polled all agreed Bridgit should stay focused on its original goal. Ms. Hasegawa and Ms. Brodie took that advice.

As more business customers signed on, it became clear that they made the right decision. Since then, the company’s growth has been rapid.

Earlier this year, Bridgit launched Closeout ,which is designed so that even the least tech-savvy can use it easily. Today, the app is being used on sites across Canada and the United States and even by top general contractors(承包商).

In October, Bridgit was named to the Canadian Innovation Exchange’s top 20 list of Canada’s most innovative companies working in digital media and information and communication technology .

But Ms. Hasegawa and Ms. Brodie are not resting on their glories. They have also been collecting feedback on Closeout from customers, and they’ll launch a new version in the spring. It will target not only general contractors but developers and building owners, too.

1.The two graduates invented the smartphone application to _______.

A. track construction sites and commercial builders

B. provide a communication platform to share photos

C. avoid project delay or costly repairs in construction

D. enable supervisors to take and share photos of buildings

2.The underlined word in Paragraph 7 most probably means _______?

A. keen on technology B. weak in technology

C. addicted to technology D. good at technology

3.According to the passage, what may contribute to the graduates’ success?

A. Investing in your strengths B. Serving more customers

C. Innovating technology D. Simplifying technology

4.The graduates’ future plan is to _______.

A. launch a new application in the spring

B. collect feedbacks from customers on Closeout

C. include different people in construction industry

D. target more consumers from various industries
