On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles, who was going to deliver a speech on his new book. During his talk, Jack 41 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, ‘‘Who wants this?” 42 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 43 . But I jumped up, ran up the 44 to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air, 45 raced through my mind — was I about to be humiliated(羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they 46 security guards and take me from the stage? 47 my desire for bold （大胆的）action was louder than any 48 voice. As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the 49 to come to us. We must take 50 to create what we want!’’ After his talk, I 51 to formally meet Jack and boldly asked for his personal e-mail address. Over the next months, I sent him emails 52 my points of view and dreams with him. He kindly e-mailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got busy 53 other things. I stopped e-mailing Jack. A year later, my dreams had worn away. I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant arrow that would show me the way. I e-mailed him, and then again — but got no 54 . As I sat down at my computer to 55 my e-mails, I 56 woke up. What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 57 that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat glued to their chairs. Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing. We 58 believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n) 59 way. So we don’t try. We 60 . But as Wayne Gretzky said，“You’ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!” So I stopped waiting and started my writing career. Now what are you waiting for? 1.A. brought in B. reached for C. took over D. handed in 2.A. Cheers B. Shouts C. Heads D. Hands 3.A. offer B. trust C. like D. choose 4.A. path B. road C. steps D. route 5.A. thoughts B. opinions C. ideas D. plans 6.A. ask B. call C. demand D. order 7.A. And B. So C. But D.

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external（外部的） result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language--- all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts. By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they go through new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept. In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to be faced with the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. These feelings of insecurity and self – doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making. 1.A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when______.. A．he has given up his smoking habit B．he has made great efforts in his work C．he is interested in making anything new D．he has tried to determine where he is on his journey 2.In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would______. A．judge his ability to grow from his own achievements B．succeed in climbing up the social ladder C．face difficulties and take up challenges D．aim high and reach his goal each time 3.When the author says “a new way of being” (para. 3), he is referring to _____. A．a new way of taking risks B．a new approach to experiencing the world C．a new system of adapting to change D．a new method of finding ourselves 4.For personal growth, the author may not support __________. A．curiosity and more chances B．being quick in self – adaptation C．open – minded to new experiences D．avoidance of internal fears and doubts

Winning the lottery (彩票) is not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for many past winners. Sad stories do exist in large numbers for the past lottery winners and that's why some financial experts say "70 percent of lottery winners will squander away (乱花) winning within a few years." Some end up losing all within two years, family relationships destroyed or even worse. Wayne Schenk was an old soldier diagnosed with lung cancer. When he won a million dollars in a lottery he thought his troubles were over and he would get the advanced medical treatment that might save his life. But Lottery officials refused to pay him the total sum in a single payment and they said they could not make an exception to the regulations. When Schenk died in 2007, he'd only received one payment of $34,000. Another lottery winner, Billy Bob Harrell, Jr. killed himself two years after winning 31 million dollars in the Texas lottery in 1997.He'd spent large amounts of money and given large amounts away, but he didn't end me expected peace that should have come with the freedom of money. Other lottery winners have ended up in prison for crimes. Many suffer bankruptcy (破产) after the big jackpot (头奖) is spent and given away, including some of the eight people who won the 365 million Powerball in 2006. The examples given paint a sad picture of what can happen if you win a big lottery jackpot, but fortunately, these examples don't tell the stories of all jackpot winners. 1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Most lottery winners use up money quickly. B. Most lottery winners don't really end up well. C. Winning lottery means relationships destroyed. D. Financial experts are against the lottery industry. 2.Why did lottery officials refuse to give Wayne Schenk the million dollars in one payment? A. He was diagnosed with lung cancer. B. He was unwilling to give away his money. C. They had to observe the official rules. D. They didn't want to disturb his peace. 3.The author supports his main idea by ____. A. giving examples B. making comparisons C. listing numbers D. listing reasons 4.In the following paragraph, the author will probably talk about_____. A. advice given by financial experts B. happy stories of the lottery winners C. conclusion drawn by the author D. regulations about lottery winning

Hundreds of secondary schools are using a controversial reward scheme which “bribes” (贿赂)pupils with iPods and DVD players to turn up in classes and do homework. Almost one million schoolchildren have been issued with supermarket-style reward cards which allow them to collect good-behavior “points” and cash them in for prizes. Schools taking part in the “Vivo Miles” scheme are spending several thousand pounds a year in an attempt to cut truancy (逃学) and promote achievements. The prizes are ultimately funded by the taxpayer, through school budgets. Nearly 500 secondary schools, one in six, have decided to take part in the scheme, which is intended to replace old-style rewards such as stickers and golden stars. But the extent of rewards being offered in schools brought a warning that a generation of children is growing up expecting to be rewarded at every stage. Many youngsters are collecting points for ordinary achievements such as remembering to bring their PE kit and wearing the correct uniform. Under the scheme, teachers award Vivo points—worth 1 penny each—according to the school’s policy. Schools typically spend￡4 to￡6 on prizes per pupil each year, although some commit considerably more. Most pupils accumulate between 400 and 600 Vivos a year. Vivo Miles insists it is “pretty rare” for a pupil to accumulate enough points to buy an iPod, which requires 3,100 Vivos. But Chris McGovern, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, said the scheme amounted to “bribery”. “It misleads children into thinking anything which requires effort has to have a special reward,” he said. “This ‘all must have prizes’ view is damaging to children in the long-term.” The scheme amounted to an “admission of failure” by schools. He said. “It shows a school has failed to convince children education is important.” 1.The “Vivo Miles” scheme is aimed at ______________. A. increasing the income of the school B. encouraging students to perform well at school C. inviting more students to attend the school nearby D. encouraging parents to donate to the school 2.Those who oppose the “Vivo Miles” scheme think ______________. A. it helps control the problem of truancy B. it teaches children the importance of saving C. it will mislead children about efforts and rewards D. it’s not easy to get more than 600 Vivos a year 3.What’s the writer’s attitude towards the scheme? A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Unconcerned. D. Objective.
