A
I decided to ski to the North Pole. It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996, there had never been a woman from the U.K. who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off for the application form.
The application form full of pictures of mal e explorers arrived. The words “Are you man enough for the ultimate (极端的) challenge?”made me angry and even more determined to get on the team.
Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights. I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past, leaving me behind. But two others helped me over, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team.
I had revealed (展示) my weakness, and in a place like the Arctic, you have to be yourself, as
I realized that by being myself, I could succeed. I was selected for the team. I realized that I could achieve more than I ever imagined --- more importantly, by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities.
1、How did the author react on seeing the advertisement?
A．She got cross. B．She was determined.
C．She got frightened. D．She was hesitating.
2、What did the organizers view as the most important in the selection?
A．Personal quality. B．Individual ability.
C．Spirit of teamwork. D．Courage to challenge.
3、What does the author think of women’s showing weakness?
A．Beneficial. B．Shameful.
C．Merciful. D．Disturbing.
4、What’s the intention of the author in writing this passage?
A．To inspire us to prepare for our future goal.
B．To advise women how to turn to others.
C．To make suggestions to her team members.
D．To encourage people to explore the unknown.
B
It’s not easy feeling like you’re always under the spotlight being judged for each little mistake you make.Your mind is in an endless circle playing what you said and did over and over again.You wish you had a time capsule to go back and make things fight if you find mistakes.You fear what others will think about you and that they will reject and dislike you.You seek to be socially perfect.
Academically，you work long endless hours just to make those excellent marks.Although most would say“it's good to have high standards，”they have no idea about the internal hell you put yourself through to achieve perfection.If you come up less than your desired goal you feel as
though you have failed，but you’re far from failing，you just don’t see it that way.So instead you
You not only have high standards for yourself but you also have them for others.If people don’t perform up to your expectations，then you think them incompetent.This causes a lot of frustration because you can’t trust anyone to ge t things right.So instead of being a team player you fly solo(单飞)and try to do two or three jobs at once.Your unrealistic expectations cause you to criticize and judge others and that leads to problems in other areas of your life.
The attempt to be perfect is called perfectionism and it's the unachievable American dream that’s damaging our emotional and mental health.We strive for perfection with our body，in our performance，and in our relationships.In a society that overstates mistakes，is it any wonder that so many young people attempt the impossible task of being perfect?
We all have flaws，fears，and make mistakes，and that’s perfectly OK.It’s our imperfections that make life interesting and they help us grow into a stronger more adaptable person.We don’t have to strive to achieve the impossible.We are designed to be perfectly imperfect.
1、What might be the most suitable title of the text?
A．Far from failing B．Perfectly Imperfect
C．Perfectionism Phenomenon D．Unachievable American Dream
2、Which of the following is a perfectionist most likely to agree?
A．Nobody is perfect. B．Be generous with praise.
C．There is no best，only better. D．A contented mind is an everlasting feast.
3、What can we infer from the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A．More and more people are tolerating mistakes.
B．The society is partly to blame for perfectionism.
C．Many young people find it impossible to be perfect.
D．It’s unusual for a society to seek perfectionism nowadays.
4、What does the author think of imperfection?
A．It’s p art of our life. B．It’s unbearable.
C．It deserves to be overcome. D．It does harm to our mental health.
