There was once a group of monks（和尚）who went to Australia to spread Buddhism。

Everything had to be started from the beginning。

After buying a plot of land, they bought bricks, construction materials and with their own hands, they started to build a temple.
A young monk took charge of building the brick wall. He took great care in laying the bricks, ensuring that they were leveled. His progress was slow，due to the great care in his work，but he wasn't bothered，。

Finally，when he completed the wall，something caught his eye and made him angry. Despite the great care he took in his work，he had overlooked two bricks that were laid slanted（倾斜）。

Because of that，whenever visitors came to the temple，the young monk would show them around to all places，except the brick wall that he had built。

One day, two elderly monks came to the temple. No matter how the young monk tried to bypass the brick wall, the old monks insisted on touring the area around that brick wall. Unwillingly，the young monk brought the elders to the brick wall.
“Oh, this is such a beautiful brick wall，” one of the elderly monks said。

“Sir, are you sure？Haven’t you seen the two ug ly bricks that are slanted in the middle of the wall?” the young monk asked in surprise. “Yes，I have.” replied the elderly monk. “But I also saw the remaining 98 good bricks that made this a beautiful wall！"
You see, most of the time，we focus on things that went wrong or didn’t live to our expectations. However, we’ve forgotten the fact that they are only two bad bricks in the wall and we should not overlook the beauty of the remaining 98 bricks.

The well—known adventurer and explorer Steve Fossett was famous for extraordinary efforts in setting world records in flying, ballooning and sailing。

He set or broke over 100 records in five different sports。

Many of these records still hold.
Steve Fossett was born in 1944 in Jackson，Tennessee。

At twelve, he climbed his first mountain, and he kept going by choosing bigger and bigger goals. During his life，Fossett climbed the highest mountain on every continent except Mount Everest。

Also in 1985, he became the 270th person to swim across the English Channel。

In 1991 Fossett decided to pursue the highest goals in ballooning and sailing。

Steve Fossett attempted the hot—air balloon trip around the world six times. This was not easy to do。

During his fourth attempt in 1998，he was almost killed during a thunderstorm off the coast of Australia。

Fossett successfully made the trip in 2002. He traveled over 33,000 kilometers for over 14 days. On this fight，Fosstt set other records including a speed record of 322 kilometers per hour。

Many of Steve Fossett’s most extraordinary adventures were as a pilot。

In 2005, he became the first person to fly a plane alone around the world without stopping for fuel. In 2006，Fossett and another pilot set an altitude record for flying a glider（滑翔机），a plane with no engine. They flew the glider into the Earth’s stratosphere(平流层) at a height of over 15，000 meters.
Steve Fossett once said that he did not like risks. He knew this might sound strange considering his activities。

But he said what he tried to do
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
was reduce risk with careful planning，technological development and the help of the best scientists and other experts。

Yet，no amount of planning can prevent the possibility of risk in life. In September of 2007, during a short-distance flight, his plane disappeared. At last, in February of 2008，a judge in Chicago declared Steve Fossett legally dead. He was sixty—three years old.

Q: Dear Dr. Wood，
My husband and I are facing a dilemma, namely，the issue of whether to have a second child-—-we already have one healthy，happy five-year-old daughter. Both of us have demanding jobs, and limited time and financial resources, but we're also very keen to make sure that our only child does not become a lonely child。

So, what are the pros and cons（利弊) of having a second child？
A：Dear Andrea，
This is one of the most difficult issues that parents nowadays face. As you point out，a concern that is often heard with regard to only children is whether one child necessarily means a lonely child. Many parents of only
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
children feel a stigma(耻辱) associated with their decision to have only one child. There are no other children in the family for the child to associate with, and this may lead to the child feeling lonely at times, especially during vacations.
Another common argument against having just one child is that an only child may be more spoiled than one with siblings. Many people believe that a single child will not have learned to negotiate with others，and respect the give-and—take involved in many relationships. Some think this may leave the child less capable of interacting well with people his or her own age than one who has been raised with siblings.
Advocates of single—child families argue that there are advantages for the child as well as the parents. With just one child, they suggest, there is less potential for family arguments arising from favoritism or sibling jealousy。

Moreover，with only one child, the parents can give, and the child can receive，more quality time and attention。

This often leads to increased self-esteem, which combined with increased independence，can lead to the child being more confident。

Unfortunately，Andre, there is no simple answer to the question of whether or not to have a second child. The circumstances affecting each set of parents are unique, and what is appropriate for one family may not be for another。

The important thing, in the end，is to make a decision that both you and your husband feel confident about。

28. The underlined word “siblings” in Paragraph 3 refers to___________.
A。

friends and partners B. brothers and sisters
C. classmates and teachers
D. parents and relatives
29。

Which one is NOT the reason why some people are against having one child?
A。

An only child may be spoiled.
B。

An only child may lack the ability to negotiate with others.
C. An only child may feel lonely。

D. An only child may not respect the give-and-take.
30.What can you infer from the passage？
A。

Dr。

Wood doesn’t think that an only child will feel lonely.
B。

Andrea wanted to have a second child though her family was poor.
C. An only child may not need to deal with the problem favoritism。

D. Parents having an only child will feel lonely during vacations.
31. In which section will this passage appear？
A。

family B。

medicine C。

life D。

readers’ letter
D
In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
social progress and prosperity。

Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self—worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life­and.death affairs。

In their single­minded pursuit of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude。

In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition. Among the most opinions are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society。

Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail。

They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success。

By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I m ay have lost，but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try。

” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth。

Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves。

Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self。

respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others。

Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to fade away can we discover a new meaning in competition.
32。

What does this passage mainly talk about？
A. Opinions about competition are different among people.
B。

Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
C。

Competition is harmful to personal quality development。

D. Competition helps to set up self—respect。

33. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A。

It builds up a sense of duty。

B。

It encourages individual efforts。

C. It improves personal abilities.
D. It pushes society forward。

34。

What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail"？
A。

One’s success is based on how hard he has tried。

B. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others’。

C。

One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D。

One’s success in competition needs great efforts。

35. Which point of view may the author agree to?
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
A。

Every effort should be paid back.
B. Fear of failure should be removed in competition。

C. Competition should be encouraged。

D。

Winning should be a life。

and。

Your goal is to organize your life in such a way that you enjoy a good income, a high standard of living，and that you are the master of your life rather than a victim of the changing economic times. Then，__ 36___! The following tips may help you.

If you want to get a new job，you have to find a way to contribute value to that career。

Your education, knowledge, skills and experience all are investments in your ability to contribute a value for which you can be paid. But like any other investments, they are risky. Once you have learned a subject or developed a skill, it is a sunk cost（已支付成本）。

38 No employer in the marketplace has any obligation(义务）to pay you for it, unless he can use your skill to produce a product or service that people are ready to buy。

Therefore, improve yourself and build your value on your ability。

Today，there’s large unemployment in so ciety。

However，39 . They are smart，capable and flexible。

Dear David,
I am at a loss nowadays because my parents have different opinions about choosing my major in college。

My father thinks I should major in finance for the reason that he feels it will prepare me for a career in the world of business。

However, my mother suggests me choosing law as my major because she thinks that our society is in great need of skilled workers and experts in law so that I can find a good job after graduation. Despite their opinions, I want to learn a foreign language because languages are what I am interested in and good at.
I know it would be a waste if I don’t make full use of my talent for languages。

What should I do？I am looking forward to your advice.
Yours,
Li Hua。
