In America, each of the states likes to promote itself with a slogan(口号). I currently live in Utah, where the slogan is “Life Elevated”. It's a nod to outdoor entertainment in the high country, including the ski industry. I previously lived in Colorado, a land with red dirt, great mountains and golden plains. The slogan there is “Colorful Colorado”. Years ago I lived in the “Peach State” of Georgia, and I grew up in New Mexico as a little boy, whose slogan is “Land of Enchantment(魔力)”.
We never seemed to get away from dust in New Mexico, so I appreciate the story of a newcomer to the Land of Enchantment who learned about dusty breezes. She was visiting an antique shop and the owner wiped down every item before showing it. The newcomer said, “Everything gets dusty here pretty quickly, doesn't it?”“That's not dust, honey,” the shop owner replied, “That's ENCHANTMENT”. That made the problem more acceptable. An escalator(自动扶梯)broke, so he posted a sign to warn customers. He chose not to use the traditional “Out of Order”or “Do Not Use”warnings. Instead, his sign read, “This Escalator Is Temporarily a Stairway”. He turned a minus into humor and made it a plus.
And in fact there are some things, like the weather, we can't change. All we can change is our ways that we think and feel about them. I believe one of the best techniques to do this is to find some humor in the situation. Finding something amusing or enjoyable of difficulty, an irritation or a troublesome problem can be one of the most creative and effective things we can do. Sometimes the only sense you can make of a situation is a sense of humor.
25. The first paragraph is severed as a(n) .
A.introduction
B.predication
C.explanation
D.conclusion
26. How would the newcomer probably feel after hearing what the shop owner said?
A.Angry.
B.Curious.
C.Relaxed.
D.Nervous.
27. What's the purpose of the writer's writing the passage?
A.To encourage people to find the funny side in their daily life.
B.To show the effects of using slogans to raise the position.
C.To explain the skills of turning a disadvantage into humor.
D.To tell the strange experience of a bargain in an antique shop.
C
My students often tell me that they don't have "enough time" to do all their schoolwork.
My reply is often a brief "You have as much time as the president." I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that "not enough time" is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.
Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard. His answer to me was, "That's irrelevant (无关的). What's important is the quality of your work." Since then I have had time to think carefully about the "hard worker" dodge (诀窍), and I have come to some conclusions- all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.
If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of "time", which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of "work" during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it's not how hard one works but the quality of the product that's important.
That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone's office: "Don't work harder. Work smarter." There is a lot of sense in that idea.
If you can't get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since "work" for students usually means "homework", the expression "work habits" should be read as "study habits".
Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.
28. From the passage, we know that the author is probably ______.
A.an educator
B.a poet
C.an engineer
D.a novelist
29. We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that we students still _____.
A.can meet the president
B.have enough time
C.get everything done well
D.should accept the explanation
30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.You'll try to improve your skills in reading and writing if you're a clever student.
B.The author's students make good use of their time to do all their homework.
C.The author tried to tell the professor that he/she (author) had done a good job.
D.You can't improve the quality of the work if you can't get more time.
31. What's the passage mainly about?
A.Students don't have enough time.
B.No one can get more time.
C.Don't work harder; work smarter.
D.Read better and write better.
D
If you're a high school student, you may tend to measure your self－worth based on your popularity and status. You may feel dejected or disappointed if you have a difficult time fitting in
or if you lack the confidence to talk to others .If you want others to like you, you'll need to have a healthy understanding of how people think, what appeals to them and how you can gain their approval. There are four tips on how to be popular in high school .And if you are popular with your classmates, you can get many benefits from it.
You must be yourself in order to gain any real popularity in high school. While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery(奉承), copying another's style and personality will have a negative effect on your popularity. If you're not comfortable enough to be yourself 100 percent of the time, others won't feel comfortable around you. If you establish your own style and finesse and stay true to yourself, popularity will soon follow.
Make yourself approachable to appeal to others and be popular in high school. People love to be around others who are confident and ready to have a good time. Hold your head up high, keep your shoulders back, and smile as you walk with an air of confidence to instantly attract others and boost your popularity.
Be friendly and kind to everyone you meet. It's not enough to gain the approval of the other popular students in your school. In order to gain real popularity, you'll need to be kind and polite to everyone you meet. Make an effort to talk to your classmates regardless of their popularity or economic status and try to develop friendships with them. The more people you appeal to, the more popular you'll become.
Involve yourself in school activities that interest you. You can be popular in high school if you play an active role in your school's extracurricular activities(课外活动). The more you participate in group activities, the more popular you'll become.
32. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Establish Your Own Lifestyle.
B .Ways to Gain Confidence in Your School Life.
C. Tips on How to Be Popular in High School.
D. How to Develop Friendships with Your Classmates.
33. The underlined word “dejected” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________．
A.excited
B.frightened
C.desperate
D.depressed
34. It can be known from the passage that ________．
A.the first step to be popular is to show your pride to your classmates
B.setting up your own style and personality will benefit your popularity
C.if you want to be popular you should only make friends with popular students
D.taking part in extracurricular activities goes against one's popularity
35. The passage is probably followed by a paragraph about ________．
A.the benefits of being popular
B.some other ways to become popular
C.the negative effect of popularity
D.the examples of famous people

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Ways to Find the Happiness in Front of You
We struggle with war, poverty, global warming. 36 Famous people have wonderful lives , but you don't, and the "if onlys" threaten to win the day: "My life would be sweet if only I were richer, had a better job..."
37 And it doesn't care how much money you have or what the circumstances of your life are. Look through the suggestions on how to look on the bright side and find the happiness in front of you.
38
If I'm feeling low, one of the best ways I know to cheer up is to make a love list. It's simple, just a list of every single person I love. Then I can put it in a pocket to take with me on a tough day, or just keep it in mind as I get on with my life.
Find Lost Friends
I recently took some time to seek out people that I've lost touch with over the years.
39 . Within 24 hours I had baby pictures and recent histories. But the interesting thing was that all the people I got in touch with had been thinking about contacting me a couple of days before getting my email.
Think Positively
40 I'm not saying your problems are over, but simply looking at the world through rose-colored glasses means that half your problems will look like exciting challenges, and the other half you'll probably realize aren't problems at all, just facts of life.
A. Wish upon a star
B. But happiness is all around you.
C. Create a love list
D. It took only a little time to shoot a few quick emails around the country.
E. We hear of people getting sick or dying.

Working individually or Working in a team
There are basically two ways to get work done. One is to work individually. In this way, people can decide for themselves when to start work and how to do it. What’s more, they will be able to learn how to solve problems on their own and how to think independently.
People may also choose to work in a team, where they can learn from each other and help each other. Besides, they may work out better ways to get work done by discussion. They can truly learn the skills of cooperation and how to get through the ideas to their mates.
Personally, I prefer to work in a team, which offers me a chance to learn how to get along with others and to share my experiences with them. As the work can be decided among several people, it can be done efficiently. Teamwork is always important.

Sleep is part of a person’s daily activity cycle. There are several different stages of sleep, and they too occur in cycles. If you are an average sleeper, your sleep cycle is as follows. When you first drift off into sleep, your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing becomes slow and quite regular. Your brain waves become slow and quite regular, too. This is Stage 1. For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through Stage 2 and Stage 3. The lower your stage of sleep is, the slower your brain waves will be. Then about 40 to 69 minutes after you lose consciousness, you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain will show the large slow waves. This is Stage 4. You don’t remain at this deep fourth stage all night long, but instead about 80 minutes after you fall into sleep, your brain activity level will increase again slightly. Your eyes will begin to move around under your closed eyelids. This period of rapid eye movement lasts for some 8 to 15 minutes. After that your body will soon relax again, and your breathing will slip gently back from Stage 1 to Stage 4.。
