Most people hate change,which is sad since we often go through changes in life.And for some of us,even the Smallest changes can upset our day.So,the question is:Why do most of us find making adjustments（调整）to our lives so hard?
Why we dislike change
Fear of change is___75___new.Over a century ago,people in Paris were unhappy over an unusual addition to their city:the Eiffel Tower.In fact,the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they were against its construction（建造）.As strange as it may seem,their anger was completely___76___.They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made,so they became angry.But we get upset over changes even
when we do have to a say in the matter.Changes are brought about every day by the decisions we make:which school to attend,which job to take.Voluntary（出于自愿的）changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know how those changes will___77___our future.
How we can overcome our fear of change
People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear of change is to be flexible.When people are flexible,
they can___78___new situations more easily.Being flexible is especially important in the21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before.Those who were against change,especially with technology
in the workplace,may end up finding themselves out of a job.
fact,the change may turn out to be the best thing for you.That new job you got may end up being much better than
your old one.You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to.___80___,don’t just
focus
on how you feel about change.You should learn to accept the change.The change is the reality and it’s up to you to
decide whether the change will be a success or a failure.You never know—your next change may be your life’s
Eiffel Tower!

C.Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.
When you’re bored,what will you do first?If you’re like many,the answer is quite simple:You reach for your phone.Five minutes of short videos or funny pictures seem like a p___81___break.
If that sounds familiar,a new study has bad news.Reaching for your phone is likely to leave you feeling more bored.The problem isn’t taking a break.The problem is your phone.A research shows using phones can’t help people r___82___from their heavy work.
To figure out the r___83___between phones and boredom,the research team installed（安装）an app on the phones of83volunteers to find out how often they used their phones.They also
asked these volunteers to keep diaries for three days,recording their level of
boredom every hour
“Phone breaks were frequent（频繁的）：In the20minutes following each
questionnaire,the volunteers picked
up their phones52percent of the time.They spent an average of around90seconds
on it each time,”reports the research team.“The more tired we are,the most
l___84___we are to reach for our phones.While we look to our phones to relieve（减轻）boredom,screen time seemed to i___85___feelings of boredom.The volunteers actually reported higher levels of boredom after having used their smartphones.”
The research team pointed out that phone breaks may end up being more tiring than stimulating.In other words,watching the funny videos is very nice,but it’s now w___86___the cost to your brain in effort and concentration.In addition,picking up your phone might remind you that you have a better choice to do something else if you don’t have to finish the tasks immediately.Both your time and effort are easily wasted.
What should we do i___87___?Taking a walk is good exercise.Calling someone can make your mood cheerful.Reading a book gives your brain a fresh start.You can do many things like that.Just remember,don’t reach for your phone!
D.Answer the questions.
It was a few years ago.
A friend had sent me restaurant gift card for Christmas and I had picked a sunny Sunday afternoon to use it.
It felt good taking my two grown sons and daughter to a nice sit-down restaurant instead of the fast-food places we usually ate at.
The meal was delicious and we all had a good time just being together.
When the waitress brought the check.I looked down at it.The gift card covered almost all of it.I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest.I saw two bills in my wallet.The first would cover the rest of the bill and give the waitress a nice tip.The second bill was much larger so I reached down to pick out the first one.
At that moment my mind flashed back to30years ago.I was working as a waiter in a restaurant much like the one we were in now.It was long hours of hard work for low pay.I went home just only making enough to feed my young family.I also remembered how more than once I saw the waitress counting their little tips worrying about how they were going to pay the rent and buy their kids things they needed.I remembered the pain in their eyes and sadness in their faces at the end of the day.
I blinked(眨眼)and was back in the present again.My fingers touched the smaller bill in my wallet.I smiled, pushed it back down,and picked out the much larger bill.I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check.As we all got up from the table,I handed them to the hard-working waitress.“You keep the change,”I said with a smile and a happy heart.
We are all children of the same earth.Do your best to be kind then.
88.Did the writer take his children to the fast-food places they usually ate at on the sunny Sunday afternoon?

“赠人玫瑰，手有余香”。

意思是一件很平凡微小的事情，哪怕如同赠人一只玫瑰般微不足道，但它带来的温馨都会在赠花人和爱花人的心底慢慢升腾、弥漫。

因此，善待他人也是善待自己，请结合生活中的一次真实经历，谈一谈你对善良的看法。

百人驳相对论(信念)
爱因斯坦的“相对论”发表以后，有人曾创造了一本《百人驳相对论》，网罗了一批所谓名流对这一理论进行声势浩大的反驳。

可是爱因斯坦自信自己的理论必然会取得胜利，对反驳不屑一顾，他说：“如果我的理论是错的，一个反驳就够了，一百个零加起来还是零。

”
他坚定了必胜的信念，坚持研究，终于使“相对论”成为２０世纪的伟大理论，为世人瞩目。

自信，是建筑在对前途充满必胜心理基础之上的优秀心理素质。

没有自信，就没有成功。

爱因斯坦获得了巨大成功，与他对自己理论的坚信程度是分不开的。
