Being content with yourself and optimistic about your future is not difficult.
Whatever is in the past is 36 . Learn from it and move on. When you are enough
37 to do this, you will see that moving ahead is the best definition of living
38 .
What can you do now? Sure it is 39 for me to tell you to forget the past, 40 it is a whole different 41 to actually do it. Life is a complex set of events, much of which 42 is real, but a large amount is just your 43 of what really happened.
Let me 44 with an example. I know not everyone is a football fan, but I am 45 most have watched at least 46 of a game on TV. Most games and almost all the important games are 47 over and over on the TV screen right after the game happened.
When you watched a game, you were 48 of the outcome, saying the player 49 the ball. Then while watching the instant replay, you realized you were 50 wrong. The player dropped the pass. What you were certain of never happened.
In order to 51 on your future, you should try to minimize the effects of your past. Try to find out how much of the past that you are certain are just 52 . For example, as a teenager, you tried to build a piece of fu rniture in your father’s workshop. The piece of furniture looked 53 when you finished, but it fell apart before you could 54 it to your father. The reality was that the wood you used was faulty. It was not your building ability. So don’t think your self to be a 55 carpenter and avoid building anything. Forget the past and move on.

SAN FRANCISCO— Sales for Apple’s third generation iPad has hit record in the first days after it was on the market, Apple and carrier (电信公司) AT&T said on Monday.
The new iPad went on sale on March 16 in the United States along with nine additional countries and areas.
“We had a record weekend, and we are thrilled with it,〞 Apple’s CEO Tim Cook said Monday at a conference.
Shortly after the conference call, AT&T said the launch of the new iPad set a new single-day record for its sales.
“On Friday, March 16 AT&T set a new single-day record for its iPad sales, showing strong demand for the new iPad on the nation’s largest 4G network,〞 said the mobile carrier in a brief announcement.
The new iPad is Apple’s first 4G-capable product, featuring retina (视网膜) display, HD camera and faster processor. Before hitting stores, the new iPad pre-sales were sold out worldwide in two days.
BEIJING — A Chinese farmer was sentenced to 13 years in prison Monday for stealing art pieces from the Forbidden City last year, court authorities said.
Shi Baikui, 27, was fined 13,000 yuan ($2,059) and was deprived (剥夺) of his political rights for 3 years, according to the ruling announced by the Second Intermediate People’s Court in Beijing Monday morning.
Shi, from East China’s Shandong Province, broke into the heavily guarded former home of Chinese emperors in the heart of Beijing, and stole nine art pieces made of gold and jewels, on May 8, , the court said in a statement.
While hurriedly escaping, Shi left behind five of the pieces in the Forbidden City’s compound(场地). Failing to immediately sell the treasures, he threw the other four pieces away the next day, the document said.
Six pieces were recovered and the three missing were worth about 150,000 yuan ($23,760) in total.
Shi was arrested by police at an Internet café in Beijing’s Fengtai district 58 hours after the theft.
56. We can infer from the news that the new iPad ______.
A. was sold out on Mar. 16
B. is more advanced than the last version
C. is cheaper than other cell phones
D. is sold only in the United States.
57. The new iPad is so popular because _______.
A. it’s better equipped
B. it’s made in the United States
C. it is Apple’s first product
D. it depends on the nation’s largest 4G network
58. What can we learn about the stolen art pieces?
A. They were all recovered.
B. They were all sold off.
C. Some were left behind and some were thrown away.
D. Some were missing and some were sold off.
59. Which of the following is true?

I am one of those people who are terrible at saying no. I take on too many projects at once, and spend too much of my time doing things I’d rather not be doing. I get work done, but it’s not always the best I can do, or the best way I could spend my time.
That’s why my newest goal, both as a professional and a person, is to be a quitter.
Being a quitter isn’t being someone who gives up, who doesn’t see important things through to the end. I desire to be the opposite of that. The quitter I want to be is someone who gets out when there’s no value in what he’s doing, or when
that value comes at the expense of something more important.
A friend of mine once told me, “I knew I was an adult when I could stop reading a book, even after getting 500 pages into it.〞 Strange though it sounds, we all tend to do this. We get involved in something, realize we don’t want to be a part of it, but keep on going. We say “Well, I’ve already invested (投入) so much time in this. I might as well stick it out.〞
I propose the opposite: quit as often as possible, regardless of project status or time invested. If you’re reading a book, and don’t like it, stop reading. Cut your losses, realize that the smartest thing to do is to stop before your losses grow even more, and quit. Instead of reading an entire book you hate, read half of a bad one and half of a good one. Isn’t that a better use of your time?
Step back for a second. Let’s learn how to say “no〞 at the beginning, or in the middle, and free up more of our time to do the things we’d like to be doing, and the things actually worth doing. Saying no is hard, and admitting a mistaken yes is even harder. If we do both, we’ll start to make sure that we’re spending our time creating value, rather than increasing our losses. Let’s be quitters together.
60. The author wants to be a quitter, because he ______.
A. hopes to improve his personality.
B. wishes to have more time for relaxation
C. has found it hard to do several things at one time.
D. expects to make more efficient use of his time.
61. In what circumstances does the author suggest quitting is a good idea?
A. When you feel tired and need a rest.
B. When you know a task cannot be finished.
C. When you realize what you are doing is not worth the time.
D. When you meet with difficulties along the way in your life.
62. If you stop reading a book you hate, the author might think that ______.
A. it’s pity that you have wasted so much time.
B. you are wise to cut your losses.
C. you should finish a book that you have started.
D. you should regret choosing the wrong book.
63. The message the author tries to convey is to _______.
A. create more value
B. live your life to the fullest
C. learn to say no
D. stop doing many things at once.

Unlike many surfers who sought the perfect wave, my interests always lay beneath the sea’s surface in a world I could only imagine and dream of. When I was twelve, I made my first adventures in the deep. Later I would learn how to dive, expanding my world of exploration many times over.
Perhaps the greatest turning point in my life came when I was in high school and I wrote a letter to the famous Scripps Oceanographic Institution, asking how I might learn more about the sea. A kind scientist answered my letter and told me how to apply to Scripps for a summer scholarship, which I received. During one of their courses that summer, I met Dr. Robert Norris, a marine geologist. He loved the sea almost as much as I did. Soon he suggested I consider his school, the University of California, for my study. One year later I became a member of the freshman class.
Now my love affair with the sea became a serious endeavor (努力). If I wanted to be an undersea explorer, I needed to learn as much as I could about the laws of the physical world that controlled the environment I wanted to enter. The undersea world is not our natural world．It is unforgiving to those who make mistakes. At its greatest depths the water temperature is near freezing, the pressure is eight tons per square inch, and it is totally dark. It is easy to get lost in such a world.
I needed to learn a lot about geography, navigation, geology (地质学), biology, and many other things.
I decided another important thing for me to do was to join the U.S. Navy. If I was going to be an undersea explorer, I would have to lead men and women on dangerous adventures where they might get hurt, and I didn’t want that to happen.
In the Navy I learned discipline, organization, and how to motivate and lead
people on adventures so that we could explore the wonders of the deep．Finally, the time came to put all that I had learned to use, to go forth with a team of men and women and explore an adventure I am still on and hope to be on for many years to come.
68. What happened to the author at the age of twelve?
A. He dreamed about undersea exploration.
B. He surfed on big waves for the first time.
C. He began to swim under the deep water.
D. He learned to dive off the cliffs.
69. In college, the author took many different types of courses because he______.
A. was told it was easy to get lost in exploration
B. was advised to take them by Dr. Robert Norris
C. believed it would help him succeed in the Navy
D. thought they were needed to fully understand the ocean
70. The author joined the Navy to ______.
A. get along with people under stress
B. develop his leadership skills
C. learn about the dangers of the ocean
D. gather specific information about ocean life
71. Which word can best describe the author?
A. Ambitious
B. Imaginative
C. Independent
D. Passive
E
A study has found that people who appear to be constantly distracted (分心) have more “working
memory〞, giving them the ability to hold a lot of information in their heads and handle it mentally．
Children at school need this type of memory on a daily basis for a variety of tasks, such as following teachers' instructions or remembering oral sentences.
During the study, volunteers were asked to perform one of two simple tasks during which researchers checked to ask if the participants' minds were wandering.
At the end, participants measured their working memory ability by remembering a series of letters with simple maths questions.
Daniel, a psychologist in the United States, said that those with higher working memory ability reported “more mind wandering during these simple tasks〞, but their performance did not suffer．
The results, published online in the journal Psychological Science, appear to
confirm previous research that found working memory allows humans to deal with multiple (多种多样的) thoughts at the same time.
Dr Smallwood，in Leipzig，Germany，said: “What this study seems to suggest is that, when circumstances for the task aren’t very difficult, people who have additional working memory resources arrange them to think about things other than what they're doing. 〞
Working memory ability is also associated with general measures of intelligence, such as reading comprehension and IQ scores, and also offers a window into the widespread, but not well understood, field of internally (内部地) driven thoughts．Dr Smallwood added: “Our results suggest the sorts of planning that people do quite often in daily life—when they are on the bus, when they are cycling to work, when they are in the shower—are probably supported by working memory.
72. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why wandering mind is necessary
B. A new measure to test IQ
C. The importance of working memory
D. Wandering mind is sharper
73. Researcher can learn if the participants' minds were wandering by .
A. checking it on the computer
B. following a series of instructions
C. asking them while they are performing tasks
D. measuring their working memory ability
74. The underlined word “them〞 refers to .
A. the participants
B. the working memory resources
C. the tasks
D. the working circumstances
75. What can we learn from the passage?
A. It's not a bad thing for children with wandering minds.
B. The result of the study doesn't agree with the previous research.
C. Circumstances might make children's heads clever.
D. Only working memory can handle difficult problems.

Possible answer: k*s*5u
Recently, whether to help the old up when they fall down has been heatedly discussed on the Internet. Our class held a meeting with regards to the problem, during which classmates gave their comments. The results are as follows.
Some classmates are in favor of helping the old up. As for them, it is our traditional virtue to be ready to help those in trouble. Besides, to care for others is of great important for people to live in harmony with each other. Others hold the different opinions. They are afraid that by doing so, they may be misunderstood and ask for trouble. Lack of first aid knowledge also play a great part, because they are worried that they may be more of a hindrance (阻碍) than help. k*s*5u In my opinion, we should help up the old men who fall down and cannot get up. People should learn to help others. To care for others will in turn to help ourselves.。
