It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.“Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelve rooms.” One student answered, earning(博得) laughs from all the students.Mr. Black smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess (过量). That is not success.”“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.“Now we’re getting closer,” Mr. Black smiled, “but try thinking about what youneed and what you want.”“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.Mr. Black sighed. “I believe we’ve already talked about excess versus (与…比较) success.”“Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” James, sitting in the back wondered aloud.“Quite right!” Mr. Black clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”“What does this have to do with business?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasn’t funny, he wasn’t happy.“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then seen to getting the extras that y ou want.”“What if I don’t have a family?” he continued to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Tom’s friend, shouted out.“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Black corrected himself.Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.“So in the next nine weeks, we’re going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards (信用卡).”Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?”“You already are, Tom. You’re spending time with us!” Mr. Black laughed. “Now, let’s see what you guys know about credit cards…”( ) 51. What was Mr. Black?A. A headmasterB. A businessmanC. A teacherD. An official ( ) 52.

How to Live WellBLife is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class. Now, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell (干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance (坚持) can lead.When he was 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous”.In spite of his teach er’s criticisms, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.“My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actu ally work,” Gurdon said.In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This techniquelater helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996, the first cloned mammal (哺乳动物) in the world.In 2006, Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample (样本) of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.“Luck favors the prepared mind,” Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize (抓住) the chance.”( ) 56. Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?A. Sir John GurdonB. Shinya Yamanaka.C. Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka.D. Gurdon’s science teacher.( ) 57.

It’s impossible for the doctors to repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.D. According to the science teacher, Gurdon was not a gifted student.( ) 60. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Ninety percent of the time things don’t w ork.B. Luck favors the prepared mind.C. Life is full of pleasure.D. How to know cells actually work.CWe can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jerry really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog”. Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”, that’s being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture (体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.( ) 61. The questions in the first paragraph tell us that the speaker _____.A. feels happy, thinking of how nice his friends were to himB. feels he may not have “read” his friends’ true feelings correctlyC. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend, HelenD. is sorry that his friends let him down( ) 62. From the example “You’re a lucky dog”, we can learn that _____.A. the speaker of this sentence is just being friendlyB. this saying means the same as “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”C. sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind thewordsD. the word “dog” shouldn’t be used to apply to people( ) 63. The passage tries to tell you how to ______.A. avoid mistakes about money and friendsB. bring the “dog” bit into our conversationC. be friendly to other peopleD. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you( ) 64. What is important in listening to a person?A. to notice his tone, his posture, and the look in his eyesB. to listen to how he pronounces his wordsC. to check his words against his manner, his tone of voice, and his postureD. not to believe what he says( ) 65. If you followed the advice of the writer, you would ________.A. be able to get the real meaning of what people say to youB. avoid any mistakes while talking with people who envy youC. not lose real friends who say things that do not please youD. be able to observe people as they are talking to youD( ) 66.
