On a cold winter day，I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles.
During his talk，Jack 31 his wallet，pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said，“Who wants this?” 32 shot up in the audience；
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
people leaned forward to see whom Jack would 33 。

But I jumped up，ran up the 34 to the stage, and grabbed the bill。

As I was launching myself in the air, thoughts 35 through my mind — was I about to be humiliated （羞辱）in front of 800 people？Would they 36 security guards and take me from the stage? 37 my desire(欲望，要求) for brave action was louder than any 38 voice。

As I got the bill from his hand，he said, “That's it！We can’t wait for the 39 to come to us. We must take action to 40 what we want!”
After his talk, I managed to formally meet Jack and bravely asked for his 41 email address。

Over the next months，I sent him emails 42 my vision and dreams with him. He kindly emailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got 43 with other things. I stopped e—mailing Jack。

A year later, my dreams had worn away. I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant 44 that would show me the way。

I emailed him, and then again — but got no 45 。

As I sat down at my computer to check my emails, I 46 woke up. What was I doing?
I was waiting！Now I remembered the crowd, most likely 47 that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat 48 to their chairs.
Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait —whether it’s a person, a place or a thing。

We 49 believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a(n）50 way。

So we don't try. We give up. But as Wayne Gretzky said：“You’ll always miss 100％of the opportunities you don't take!" So I stopped waiting and started my writing career。

A
AAAGH! The Generation 90s is coming！
Wearing earphones, using complex Net language and constantly text messaging friends，the Gen-90s following the Gen-80s begin to make their world debut （初次登台）。

Each generation or age group has its own symbols and lifestyle. Read on and judge for yourselves if you fit the Gen—90s group。

Earphones
These little devices seem to grow on the heads of the Gen-90s. They might lead to MP3, MP4 or MP101 players，giving these young people a plugged-in，cool and perhaps self-addicted look, of course, life is not always music to the ears。

Martian language
They have created their own code—like online language. It’s a mixture of English，Japanese and Chinese that perhaps only Martians can understand。

This is an imaginative generation, though they need to be careful to keep it out of their term papers.
Self-Portrait
Saying “cheese” to their own digital cameras is usual for this generation. A little bit of narcissism (自恋）never hurts anyone. It helps them reflect a little on their own lives．But be aware of the risks of posting private photos online。

Text—messaging
They can type their mobile phones as fast as they can speak。

This is a generation that respects efficiency. However, oral communication is important and will never go out of style.
51．According to the passage, if you belong to the Gen—90s , you will _______ .
A. just appreciate yourself and ignore others’ strengths。

B。

have your own symbols and lifestyle。

C. have the same symbols and lifestyle of the Gen-80s．
D。

like music and dance very much。

52．According to the text，the writer will choose ______ as a good example to the Gen—90。

A。

Li Hua likes music and always wearing iPod
B。

Zhang Chao is not only an imaginative boy but do everything efficiently.
学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
C. Lily is a shy girl and she do esn’t like making friends。

D. Fangfang likes being taken photos and often posting them on line.
53．According to this passage, which is FALSE?
A。

Not all teens are cautious about posting photos．
B. They type their mobile phones so fast that it can catch the speed of speaking.
C. The Gen-90s have a preference for some music players, and even
regard them as a necessary part of life。

D. They don’t use the cool and complex online language in formal writing。

54．The main idea of the passage is about________。

A。

the Gen-90s’ happy life
B。

the difference between the Gen—80s and the Gen—90s
C. the Gen-90s’ unique lifestyle and some practical warnings
D. the similarities between the Gen-80s and the Gen—90s
B
A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill。

Don’t laugh, it’s true。

Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health，doctors say.
Wang Xiaoyu，a Senior 2 girl from Xichang，Sichuan Province, fainted （晕倒）in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices。

Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症），caused by bad relations at home，doctors explained。

“We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves，" says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems，in his recent research. The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA。

Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems。

Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too。

Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ign ored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.
We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said。

55。

Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?
A. Because her classmates often quarreled in class。

B. Because her parents used to quarrel。

学必求其心得，业必贵于专精
C。

Because of her depression caused by bad family relations。

D. Because her classmates shouted loudly at her.
56。

According to Dr Ferrer，which of the following statements is TRUE?
A。

We get sick or stay well by ourselves.
B. Only the genes we get from our family have a big effect on our health。

C. Our health has nothing to do with diet，lifestyle and environment。

D. Teenagers who are ignored at home get sick more easily than those who are not。

57。

The underlined word “coma" in Paragraph2 probably means ________。

A。

surprise B。

faint C。

tiredness D. sadness
58. The best title for this passage is ________.
A。

Family relations. B。

The reasons why we get sick.
C。

Family---— another cause to health D。

A research about health.
C
Some problems are difficult to solve. But there are a lot of number expressions that can help. For example, if we put two and two together, we might come up with the right answer。

We know that two heads are better than one。

It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem。

Some problems have only one solution。

You cannot be of two minds over this。

But with any luck，we could solve the problem in two shakes of a lamb’s tail. We could have our answers quickly and easily.
Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone。

That is, we can complete two goals with only one effort or action。

But we must remember that two wrongs don't make a right. If someone does something bad to you，you should not do the same to him。

If you are going out with your girlfriend, or boyfriend, but you don’t want another friend to go along on your date. You can just say to your friend: two’s company，three’s a crowd.
When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three R’s. These important skills are reading，writing and arithmetic. These three words do not all start with the letter “R”。

But they have the sound of “R”. My teachers used to give three cheers when I did well in math。

They gave praise and approval for a job well done。

Some of my friends were confused and did not understand their schoolwork。

They were at sixes and sevens。

In fact，they did not care if they finished high school. But they were happy when they completed their studies and graduated from high school. They were in seventh

They were on cloud nine. Nine times out of ten students who do well in school find good jobs。

Some work in an office doing the same things every day at nine-to-five jobs. You do not have to dress to the nines，or wear your best clothes, for this kind of work。

When Johnson called again，the manager received him very politely。

“That is a most remarkable oil you brought us, Mr。

Johnson,” he said。

Johnson nodded his smooth, dark head. That was something he knew very well。

“I’ve never seen anything like it，” the manager admitted. Johnson nodded again。

“No？” he said politely。

Then he added, “But I think you will, sir. A very great deal of it." He appeared to think for a moment。

“I think you will find it will be on sale seven, perhaps, eight years from now。

” He smiled。

The manager thought that was uncertain. He said, “It is better than our fish oils. I admit that。

” “So I am told，sir,” agreed Johnson.
“Have you any p lans to produce it yourself, Mr。

Johnson？”
Johnson smiled again。

“Would I be showing it to you if I had?”

“It would be expensive to do that，even if you could。

” Johnson said gen tly. “Besides,” he added，“I am told that this oil will be much cheaper than your best fish oils. Cheaper than any vegetable oil, in fact.”
“Perhaps," said the manager。

“Well, I suppose you want to make an arrangement，Mr Johnson, Shall we discuss it？”
“Of course，" said Johnson. “There are two ways of dealing with a situation of this sort. The usual one is to prevent it altogether or at least to delay it as long as possible. That is, of course, the best way,” The manager nodded。

He knew plenty about all that。

Bushwick is a tough place to grow up. This part of Brooklyn, in New York City，has a lot of crime. More than half of its 100,000 residents rely on aid from the government. Only 50％of students at Bushwick High School graduate in four years.
Some people might say，“We should help these poor kids who have so many challenges.” But Malaak Compton-Rock looks at the teens in Bushwick and says，“ Go to help kids who have even bigger challenges than you do。

" She believes that once young people see the power they have to make things better，they can handle their own problems more easily. So her service group，the Angel Rock Project, took 30 Bushwick kids to Soweto，in South Africa, to help poor families there。

Soweto is a township outside the city of Johannesburg。

The effort，called Journey for Change，aims to show that any kid can change the world.
“Kids in Bushwick face pressure to drop out of school or become involved in gangs and drugs.” Says Compton-Rock. “We want them to live a life of purpose and service。

"
In Soweto，many parents have died of AIDS, a deadly disease。

When that happens, a grandparent or a child must lead the family。

The

“It‘s been good to be on this trip。

But what's also important is what we do when it’s finished。

That's what counts。

” “ I never appreciated what I had until I saw some people who had nothing，” says Sadara Lewis, 12 “It’s really changed my attitude. I want to make a difference。

"
The trip was two weeks long. But the kids, aged 12 to 15, will spend all year speaking about their experience, fund-raising and more。

Recently we have had a class meeting whose topic is “success"。

Views vary from person to person。

Some of the students think that making a lot of money means success, because with money you can do a lot of things and also money earns you a high position in society. Some of the students hold the view that success means becoming a famous person like a super star or a sports star because they are well known and their parents are proud of them. However，the other students think that making a contribution to society means success。

The reason is that only a few people can be millionaires or become famous. As ordinary people，they should do what they can to serve the people。

In my opinion, there is no standard for success. So long as we do our best and achieve our goals, then that is success。
