And we loved singing songs together. Once, however, there was a bitter quarrel between us and we stopped talking to each other. It was obvious that both of us wanted to keep the friendship, but neither had the courage to break the ice. It went on like this for months. Then, one day we were asked to write about friendship. I wrote in my composition what friendship meant to me and the misunderstanding that had separated us. It was given the top mark, and I was asked to read it in class. When I ended my presentation with the words from our favourite song, my friend was singing along. All misunderstanding was cleared and once again we were best friends. To break down the walls between people is easy; all it takes is a little forgiveness! (150 words)2) We are living in a world of distrust. We live behind cold security bars; we do not talk to strangers, let alone go out of our way to help them; we live in fear of fake products. In short, fear and feelings of insecurity fill the environment we live in. All this greatly harms our society. Growing up in such an environment, we tend to feel isolated and care about ourselves only. If things go on like this, “trust”, “teamwork”, and “harmony” will eventually become terms unheard of. In my opinion, trusting others and being trustworthy are the two basic principles that we should follow if we want to improve human relationships. We may not be in a position to change others, but we can change the way others see us by winning their trust in us. Mutual understanding and love are the pillars that support a harmonious society.

She began to dream of becoming a cartoon artist from her childhood. To her disappointment, her parents strongly opposed her career choice, because the cost of her education would be too high for the poor family, and they were worried about the job opportunities for a cartoon artist. However, Li Hui would not change her mind. She worked hard to perfect her skills and searched persistently for ways to realise her dream. Just before she finished high school, the chance came: a famous art school was holding a cartoon drawing competition. The first three winners would be given a scholarship to study cartoon drawing at the school. Li Hui told herself not to let the chance slip through her fingers. She readily participated and won the second place. She is now studying there and I feel certain that her dream will come true. (156 words)2) In my opinion, before a person becomes successful, he or she should fully understand the basic elements of success: competence, determination and optimism. For a person to succeed, he or she has to face great competition and excel in his or her chosen career. The person needs to demonstrate and prove his or her competence in dealing with problems. Without competence, the person can neither stand out among the crowd nor attract the attention of those who hold the keys to the doors of opportunity and advancement. Yet ability alone cannot guarantee success. Often enough, things do not go the way we have planned and failure is unavoidable no matter how intelligent or capable we may be. In such cases one needs to remain firm and optimistic, always believing that hard work will eventually pay off. If the person gives up halfway, success will never knock at the door.

Writing P1251) Dear Weihua, I know you are still feeling upset about your results in the college entrance examination. I've just read an article about how pessimistic and optimistic thoughts can affect our behaviour and I'm now sending you a copy, hoping that it will help you step out of the shadows.• Naturally, failing the college entrance examination can be very depressing, yet if you continue to dwell on the past, you will never be able to pick yourself up and focus on what is more important for now and the future. Life is full of trials and anyone may suffer setbacks. We must take an optimistic attitude towards the things we have to deal with. Optimism and positive thinking are powerful forces. Good things do come true if we picture them often. Please do have confidence in your potential. Just work hard and prepare for another chance. You will make it. • Yours,• Janet• (152 words)2) Thinking positively means allowing your mind to be filled with optimistic feelings, and always hoping for the best though still aware of the difficulties that might be involved. The human mind is powerful; thoughts of optimism and pessimism can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Though it might seem impossible to some, positive thinking and success actually have a cause-and-result relationship. The reason is that a person with positive thinking will always broadcast goodwill and confidence and that kind of radiating attitude will take a hold on everybody. Gradually, people’s attitude will shift towards more trust and respect. This not only opens up more opportunities for the individual, but it also feeds back emotionally, and the cycle continues. Though the shaping of a positive or negative personality often happens subconsciously, it is possible to control such processes consciously.A person can try visualizing favourable situations, whether it is remembering a contest won as a child or imagining getting that job offer so long sought after. Over time circumstances will change accordingly. （169 words）Text BWord Detective P1131.(1) b (2) f (3) a (4) g (5) h (6) c (7) j (8) d2.1) transform 2) evidence 3) outcome 4) ignore 5) display 6) nonsense 7) concerning 8) tense3.1. admit into 2. consider yourself as 3. unworthy of4.

However, history has proven over and over again that the morally defective cannot be truly successful, even if they at times enjoy some temporary glory. A typical example is found in the story of fourbrilliant Cambridge students. They were all talented and eventually worked their way up to very important positions in the British government, with one even ending up working in Buckingham Palace. During and after World War II, however, they betrayed their country by giving away national secrets to the Soviet Union, which damaged the interests of Britain in many ways. Eventually what they had done was uncovered. Three of them fled the country and ended up in exile; the fourth lost his knighthood in disgrace. “Intelligent” and “successful” as they once were, they are now remembered as traitors to their country. (157 words)2) As modern society advances, we are growing more suspicious of each other. This is clearly reflected in our reaction to advertisements. Instead of seeing advertisements as a source of reliable information, we tend to doubt the truth they claim and always assume that the producers are trying to trick customers into buying their products. One of the most serious consequences of such absence of mutual trust is the constant doubt and anxiety within our own minds. If we see everyone else as a potential enemy, we can no longer make new friends; if we regard all information passed on to us as lies, how can we make use of such sources effectively? Mutual trust is the glue that holds human society together. As students, we should try to foster mutual trust and help build up a moral society by our own deeds. If we are honest to others and foster mutual trust, we shall soon see the difference.

A true team player must be more positive and constructive than just following the herd; he or she must also be able to play an active part in decision-making. Our society demands team players because by gathering all our various strengths together, we can accomplish more in a shorter time. It is because of teamwork that most businesses are able to function properly. To become team players we must learn to compromise. When our views conflict with the general view of the team we must restrain our egos and listen to what others say. We should learn how to deal with criticism in a mature way; be honest and be aware of others' feelings.

Many farmers claim that the vicious weather this summer has driven them to despair.Writing P2701)Throughout our lifetime we may encounter many adversities: unable to pay for the education, obstacles instudies and even physical disabilities. Whether we are rich or poor, intelligent or slow, adversity seems the constant companion of many of us. In the face of adversity there are typically two reactions: one is to feel frightened and run away; the other, to face it with courage. But what happens next makes a big difference between the brave and the cowardly. Some people turn away from adversity without even an attempt to make things better; while others, though frightened emotionally or disadvantaged physically, manage to shake off the initial fear and take hold of their bootstraps to pull themselves out of the bad situations they are in. We should choose the attitude of the latter because running away is not going to solve the problem. In addition, this attitude may lead one to acquire the habit of always thinking negatively and thus limit one's growth and development. (165 words)2) Resilience is a positive quality some people display when they meet unforeseen difficulties. Resilient people are able to judge reasonably the situation they are in, to make adjustments when necessary, and to remain confident even when the bad situation lasts long. Resilience is like the human muscle, it grows with use and practice; but if ignored, it will weaken. Resilience is both inborn and learnt. Some people who are naturally more open to others or slower to react to hardship have an advantage when trying to develop resilience. However, anyone with enough determination and applying the right method can do it, too. For example, learning something new and difficult is a good way to challenge ourselves. When we are forced to sit down and memorize hundreds and thousands of new words, our resilience is practiced and promoted. Resilience is a characteristic we all need and can develop.

I’ve just read an article about how pessimistic and optimistic thoughts can affect our behaviour and I’m now sending you a copy, hoping that it will help you step out of the shadows.Naturally, failing the college entrance examination can be very depressing, yet if you continue to dwell on the past, you will never be able to pick yourself up and focus on what is more important for now and the future. Life is full of trials and anyone may suffer setbacks. We must take an optimistic attitude towards the things we have to deal with. Optimism and positive thinking are powerful forces.

Though it might seem impossible tosome, positive thinking and success actually havea cause-and-result relationship. The reason isthat a person with positive thinking will alwaysbroadcast goodwill and confidence and that kindof radiating attitude will take a hold on everybody.Gradually, people’s attitude will shift towards moretrust and respect. This not only opens up mo reopportunities for the individual, but it also feedsback emotionally, and the cycle continues.Though the shaping of a positive or negativepersonality often happens subconsciously, it ispossible to control such processes consciously. Aperson can try visualizing favourable situations,whether it is remembering a contest won as achild or imagining getting that job offer so longsought after. Over timecircumstances will changeaccordingly. (169 words)。

She began to dream of becoming a cartoon artist from her childhood. To her disappointment, her parents strongly opposed her career choice,because the cost of her education would be too high for the poor family, and they were worried about the jobopportunities for a cartoon artist. However, Li Hui would not change her mind. She worked hard to perfect herskills and searched persistently for ways to realise her dream. Just before she finished high school, the chancecame: a famous art school was holding a cartoon drawing competition. The first three winners wouldbe given ascholarship to study cartoon drawing at the school. Li Hui told herself not to let the chance slip through herfingers. She readily participated and won the second place. She is now studying there and I feel certainthat herdream will come true. (156 words)2) People may have different opinions about the key factors for success. Write a short essay (of about 150words) and share your opinions with your classmates.Sample essay:In my opinion, before a person becomes successful, he or she should fully understand the basic elementsof success: competence, determination and optimism.For a person to succeed, he or she has to face great competition and excel in his or her chosen career. Theperson needs to demonstrate and prove his or her competence in dealing with problems. Without competence,the person can neither stand out among the crowd nor attract the attention of those who hold the keys to thedoors of opportunity and advancement.Yet ability alone cannot guarantee success. Often enough, things do not go the way we have planned andfailure is unavoidable no matter how intelligent or capable we may be. In such cases one needs to remain firmand optimistic, always believing that hard work will eventually pay off. If the person gives up halfway, successwill never knock at the door.

Write down the main idea of each part.Part: One; Paragraph(s): 1–7; Main Idea: Because of a past experience of neglecting a hitchhiker in need of help, the author decided to travel across America without any money to find out if one could still rely on the kindness of strangers these days.Part: Two; Paragraph(s): 8–28; Main Idea: During his trip, he found out that people were generally compassionate and willing to help although they might have fears.Part: Three; Paragraph(s):29-31; Main Idea: He talked to school children and concluded in a patriotic manner that in America people could still depend on the kindness of strangers.Task Two Reading Between the LinesRead the following sentences carefully and discuss in pairs what the author intends to say by the italicized parts.1) In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. (Para. 1)By doing so, the young man was telling the passing drivers that he wanted to hitchhike as his car had run out of gas.2) The week I turned 37, I realized I’d never taken a gamble in my life. (Para. 7)This week I would be 37 years old, yet I realized that I had always been very careful in my life and I had never taken a risk, for example, trusting on the kindness of others.3) It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. (Para. 7)The author is being a bit sarcastic here. He would take no money with him and travel across the US, where it is believed that money can do everything and anything. The phrase "almighty dollar" is a playful allusion to the familiar term "Almighty God"4) Yet I was treated with kindness in every state I traveled. I was amazed by the stubborn capacity of Americans to help a stranger, even when it seemed to run contrary to their own best interests. (Para. 11)I was amazed by the continual show of kindness of my fellow Americans, even though helping a stranger would mean taking a risk.5) I didn’t know whether to kiss them or scold them for stopping. (Para. 13) The author had mixed feelings: whether to kiss the two women for their kindness, or give them a lesson by cautioning them not to trust any stranger, for they could have run into a bad person instead of himself.Checking Your VocabularyWord Detective1 Choose the definition in Column B that best matches each italicized word in Column A.1) c2) d3)a4) j5)h6)b7) e8) i9) g10) f2 A synonym is a word that has the same or nearly the same meaning as another word. An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word. Write S before each pair of synonyms and A before each pair of antonyms.

But now they realize they were wrong. Years of Sunday-morning bus trip through the city with the same “nameless” people have completely changed their thinking.2) Why does the author say that taking the Sunday-morning bus trip requires teamwork though they don’t know each other’s names?There is always the same group of regular passengers. The bus driver and the passengers acted routinely with due care and attention, as if they were cooperating in a team. The driver should perform his duties well and the passengers should obey the written and unwritten rules. There should be no smoking, no littering, and everyone should behave in a polite and decent manner. Under such circumstances, names are no longer important.3) What can we learn about the silent woman from Para. 5?The silent woman always sits up front and never responds to others’ greetings. Her worn clothing suggests that she is not rich. However, she is considerate enough to bring the bus driver a cup of coffee each time she takes the bus ride.4) Why does the factory security guard always slump down in his seat with his eyes closed?He has just come off a long night shift and he feels sleepy and tired.5) Why was the bus very late one Sunday morning?On that morning a regular passenger collapsed on the sidewalk as he was moving forward to board the bus. The other passengers tried to help him and waited with him for an ambulance to arrive.6) What do you know about the Mexican couple?The Mexican couple love each other very much. They always board the bus hand in hand and are still holding hands when they get off the bus. The woman was pregnant late last year and now they have a new baby. All the regular passengers feel happy for the young Mexican couple.7) Why do the passengers enjoy the company of a group of Haitians?The Haitians have a great sense of fun. The passengers are all delighted to have their company. They always chuckle and nod when the Haitians are all aboard.8) Why is the woman who sits up front always silent?She has a speech impediment. Talking is hard for her.9) What do you know about the silent woman’s family life?She is a single mother with a disabled son who is receiving special care away from home. She lives alone and feels lonely and misses her son very much. The Sunday-morning bus ride is the best thing she does all week, and an occasional visit to the fish restaurant is almost as good as the second best thing. She rides the Sunday-morning bus simply for the companionship of the driver whose name she doesn't know, but who appreciates the hot coffee she brings.10) How did the author and his wife feel about the dinner with the silent woman?They all had a wonderful time. For the silent woman, an occasional visit to the fish restaurant was a pleasant experience and this time it was even better with the companionship of the author and his wife. The author and his wife also enjoyed the dinner and they felt thatthe fish had never tasted better. When they left the restaurant, they were already friends with each other. And they shared their names.2 Read the following statements and then decide whether each of them is true or false based on the information contained in Text B.

Then, he opens his eyes and gets off the bus.)5) T The rotund fellow is very grateful because other people have helped him.6) T The passengers enjoy their ride together and words or names are not necessary to them.7) F The author and his wife developed a good relationship with the silent woman after taking the same bus for some months.(For many months, the only sadness for the author and his wife is that they can’t establish the same rapport with the silent woman.)8) F They found their fish tasted better because they shared a good dinner with the silent woman.(They found their fish tasted better because they had finally learned the story of the silent woman and made friends with her.)Enhance Your Language AwarenessWords in ActionWorking with Words and Expressions1 In the box below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.

When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 11-20 with the exact words you have just heard. When the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have wri tten. (10 points)There are times when living with adolescents can make you feel really 11 . It seems as if nothing you do is right. You wonder what could be wrong with your once 12 child, and whether you will ever get back to a 13 again. It is important to remember that you have put a lot of effort into earlier parenting and laying the 14 for your teenager's development. The effort will not be wasted and you need to 15 in your past efforts.The major task of a teenager is to become an 16 adult and mostteenagers 17 achieve this and go on to have teenage children of their own. 18 you can hang in there, and at the same time keep your own 19 your teenager will most likely eventually 20 as a likeable adult.11.12.13.14.15.16.17.18.19.20.Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Click on the best choice. (20 points)Passage OneA public opinion poll published by The Children's Society reveals increasing concern about children's mental health and well being. When asked to rate children's happiness today compared to when they were growing up, only one in ten respondents felt children nowadays were happier.Adults' concerns echo what children themselves have told The Good Childhood Inquiry. In a survey of 8,000 14-16 year olds, carried out by The Children's Society as part of the inquiry, 27% of young people agreed with the statement 'I often feel depressed'.A number of children submitting evidence commented on the importance of being free from stress, pressure and worry. In some cases they explicitly linked pressure to school, the influence of peers, family expectations. Interestingly when asked what has the most negative impact on children's well-being generally, adults responding to the poll rated family breakdown and conflict and peer pressure highly.Considering the issue of how to promote better mental health and well being for children, Professor Stephen Scott, Institute of Psychiatry and an inquiry panel member said, "Many respondents to the inquiry shared the belief that well being depends o n good relationships, especially within the family; on a sense of purpose and on freedom. To achieve this, child mental health and well being must be everybody's business. Support for parents is crucial; schooling has a key part to play; and providing the effective treatm ents now available for children with mental health problems takes time, skill and resources."There is a growing recognition of the true cost of neglecting children's mental health and well being. Too often mental health and well being have been dismissed as being of little importance but there is now an understanding that if we want to give children a better childhood these matters must be addressed. We now need to translate this growing concern into action and investment in the necessary support services.21. What is the purpose of the public opinion poll published by The Children's Society?A. To find out how children look at their parents.B. To find out how parents think of their children.C. To find out the relationship between parents and children.D. To find out how parents and children think of children's mental health.22. According to the 3rd paragraph, what is the most interesting thing in the results of the public opinion poll?A. Children are very conscious of several factors that may cause depression.B. Parents quite agree with children's opinions of the causes of depression.C. Parents think differently from children about the probable reasons that ma y cause children's mental illnesses.D. Children quite agree with parents' choices of the causes of mental problems.23. According to Professor Stephen Scott, which of the following statements is NOT correct?A. There exists a sharp difference in people's belief in how to promote children's mental well being.B. A good relationship, especially family relationship would play a positive role in the promotion of mental well being.C. To provide children with mental health, everyone should do their best.D. Besides parents and school, hospitals can also be effective tools to solve mental problems.24. What remains to be done in order to promote children's mental health?A. Parents should understand the importance of mental health to children's growth.B. The society should recognize the cost to be paid if children's mental health is neglected.C. The society should take action to prom ote children's mental health.D. Children should be more aware of the importance of mental well being to their own life.25. What is the author's attitude towards children's mental well being?A. Indifferent.B. Concerned.C. Satisfied.D. Objective.Passage TwoParents say that children do not show them proper respect and obedience, while children complain that their parents do not understand them. This phenom enon is often referred to as the generation gap. What then are the causes of the generation gap?One important cause of the generation gap is the chance that young people have to choose their way of life. In more traditional societies, when children grew up, they were expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents knew and agreed to, and to continue the family occupation. In modern society, young people often travel a great distance for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose occupations different from those of their parents.In the easily changing society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did: to find better jobs, to make more money; and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the strong expectation that parents have on their children are another cause of the disagreement between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in the modern society is another cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, elderly people were valued for their wisdom, but in modern society, the lifetime knowledge may become out of date overnight. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by differen t skills and abilities.No doubt, the generation gap will continue to be a problem of our future life for some time. Its causes are rooted in the changes of our society, and in the rapid speed at which the society changes.26. Which of the following phenomena can be referred to as the generation gap?A. Children are not obedient and don't listen to their parents'suggestions.B. Children are always complaining that their parents are too strict.C. There is a mutual understanding between parents and children.D. Parents and children can't easily understand each other.27. Young people used to _____.A. live near to their parents' homeB. go far away from their hometown for further educationC. choose jobs different from those of their parentsD. move out of their parents' home at an early age28. What do parents expect their children to do?A. To earn enough money.B. To be able to do what they were able to.C. To have promising jobs.D. To be more successful or accomplished than they were.29. What is NOT the reason that causes generation gap?A. Young people are more likely to choose their own ways of life.B. Parents have very strong expectations on their children.C. The modern society is changing at an unbelievable speed in many aspects.D. Parents and children share little in common.30. Why can't the generation gap be reduced or bridged?A. Because of lack of skills and abilities.B. Because of the rapid changing society.C. Because of lack of wisdom.D. Because of misunderstanding between parents and children.Vocabulary and StructureDirections: Each of the following sentences is provided with four choices.

He was crouching on the ground with deformed hands and legs, mumbling something. He had obviously lost the normal ability to move and work. A dirty plate was placed in front the miserable-looking man, in which there were some coins and small notes.As my eyes were drifting away from him, his eyes caught mine suddenly. What eyes they were! Filled with misery and expectation, they were looking straight at me. He was unable to speak, but I seemed to hear his pleading voice and read his despairing mind. His look seemed to be telling me about his hard life and his longing for help. For a while, I was at a loss what to do. Should I drop some coins in the plate like some other passers-by or turn away in indifference? I recalled news reports about men pretending to be beggars, who were actually healthy and able to work. Could this be another one of those scams? But the beggar was there, groaning and living. Then something seemed to hit me hard.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Click on the best choice. (20 points)Passage OneDo you ever look around your life and think, "This isn't the life I wanted. How did I get here? This is not what I envisioned!"Well, you certainly aren't alone in that thought. In fact, my clients so often share this thought with me that I have given it its own name. I call this "Being Caught in the Expectation Gap." The "expectation gap" is the gap between living the life you think you are creating and living the life you are actually creating. Dissatisfaction, frustration and disillusionment are experienced most prevalently when you expect one thing to happen and something else entirely shows up.The truth is that you are always creating. You are the sole creator and attractor of all experiences in your life. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't believe you fall into the "expectation gap" when you are creating using all your tools and resources. Quite the contrary. You fall intothe "expectation gap" when you are only aware of what your conscious mind is desiring and you are ignoring the other 88% of your mind — your subconscious mind, where all the other amazing parts of you live with a multitude of desires.Every person, you included, has multiple parts that make up the whole of who you are. These parts of you live in your subconscious mind. They are the various aspects of your personality that make you the rich and complex human being that you are. Each part of you has one primary function — an intention as it were — something it wishes to provide you or ensure for you. And every intention, at its core, is always good and chosen with your best interest at heart. Now, the way these various parts ensure their intentions are being met is through the use of behaviors. The behaviors that you display are actually driven by these various parts of you happily fulfilling their intentions for you.Simply becoming aware of the whole you and uncovering those conflicting intentions will have a huge impact on the manifestation of your desires. When you have a clean slate to create from, the tools for creating come much easier and provide amazing success. I encourage you to begin the journey. The rewards are nothing short of living your dream life!21. What does "Expectation Gap" refer to?A. A gap between people's desire and their expectations.B. A gap between people's conscious mind and their unconscious mind.C. A gap between people's dream life and their real life.D. A gap between people's conflicting intentions.22. Why are people caught in expectation gap?A. People are not aware of their conscious minds.B. People are mainly aware of their unconscious minds.C. People are only aware of their conscious minds.D. People are only aware of their own desires.23. What method can be adopted in order to meet your intentions?A. Being more aware of the whole you.B. Being more aware of your subconscious mind.C. Choosing your desires according to your own interests.D. Taking actions to realize your intentions.24. What is the best title for the passage?A. Expectation Gap — Between Consciousness and SubconsciousnessB. Means to Realize Your Dream LifeC. The Use of Your BehaviorsD. The Making of Your Personality25. What CANNOT be inferred from the passage?A. Many people would feel frustrated if their real life is not what they have expected.B. A person's subconscious mind plays a very important role in molding his or her personality.C. Expectation gap can be tackled by making full use of your tools and resources.D. Conflicting desires should be decreased in order to realize a person's dream life.答案：CCDBDPassage TwoAlmost everyone has memories of a person who has had an impact on their life. Their words in that moment altered something deep inside of you and changed who you are. The person who influenced you could have been the parent of a friend, someone you saw on a regular basis at the grocery store, a neighbor or a beloved teacher. It could be something as simple as a conversation or how they conducted themselves in the world.We all can have such an influence on others. Whether you believe it or not, your actions, attitude and how you conduct your life does get noticed and has an influence on others. Think of how you conduct yourself in your profession, at school or even while just out shopping. How we conduct our life teaches people and influences them. That's a pretty heavy thought. If you wake up each morning knowing that today you will teach someone, that can absolutely have an impact on your attitude and how you feel about yourself and the world.As we go through the day, we can try to be open to lessons to be learned from difficult people and situations. Every time someone's remarks challenge us, it's an opportunity to look inside and see what sensitive nerve was hit. Being human and preferring to be liked, it's natural to want teachers who are considerate of our feelings. Consider this, however. When things are always lovely and sweet, what do you learn from them? Blunt or even unkind remarks could be what we need to spur a change. The important thing is to keep an open mind. Even things said that are obviously out of jealousy could contain a grain of truth. That grain of truth could be something to think upon in spite of someone else's perception. Study the words to see if there might be something to it. If not, then let it go.So, what lessons do you think you have learned from someone else? I don't know about others, but I have learned life lessons from books and powerful television shows. The most powerful lessons I've learned have been from people I know. I have a friend who could be considered severely handicapped. To me, she is the most positive person I've ever met in my life. Her attitude in the face of horrendous adversity is something I have tried to emulate.26. Which of the following CANNOT exert an influence on other people?A. A person's behaviors.B. A person's attitudes towards life.C. A person's life lesson.D. A person's actions.27. What should be the right understanding of difficult people and unkind statements?A. These are challenges to be met.B. These are out of jealousy.C. These are other people's perception.D. These are opportunities for us to improve ourselves.28. What method should be adopted to face difficult people or unkind statements?A. To ignore them.B. To be open to them.C. To be sensitive to them.D. To be considerate.29. What can be inferred from the passage?A. We can learn a lot from kind remarks and favorable situations.B. If other people's remarks are mainly out of jealousy, we can pay little attention to them.C. Keeping an open mind is necessary if you want to learn your life lesson.D. Those teachers who are considerate of students' feelings are good ones.30. What does the author learn from his disabled friend?A. Her positive attitude towards adversity.B. Her ways to tackle adversity.C. Her life lessons.D. Her attitude towards life.答案：CDBCAVocabulary and StructureDirections: Each of the following sentences is provided with four choices. Choose the one that best completes the sentence. (60 points)31.

When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 11-20 with the exact words you have just heard.

The answer is simple: deciding your own purpose means choosing your destiny and 19 your actions. Your purpose is your mission in life. You can change your purpose or mission at any time, but 20 your life is what you make of it.and reproduceand securetoresponsibility forReading ComprehensionDirections:There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices. Click on the best choice. (20 points)Passage OneDo you ever look around your life and think, "This isn't the life I wanted. How did I get here This is not what I envisioned!"Well, you certainly aren't alone in that thought. In fact, my clients so often share this thought with me that I have given it its own name. I call this "Being Caught in the Expectation Gap." The "expectation gap" is the gap between living the life you think you are creating and living the life you are actually creating. Dissatisfaction, frustration and disillusionment are experienced most prevalently when you expect one thing to happen and something else entirely shows up.The truth is that you are always creating. You are the sole creator and attractor of all experiences in your life. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't believe you fall into the "expectationgap" when you are creating using all your tools and resources. Quite the contrary. You fall into the "expectation gap" when you are only aware of what your conscious mind is desiring and you are ignoring the other 88% of your mind — your subconscious mind, where all the other amazing parts of you live with a multitude of desires.Every person, you included, has multiple parts that make up the whole of who you are. These parts of you live in your subconscious mind. They are the various aspects of your personality that make you the rich and complex human being that you are. Each part of you has one primary function — an intention as it were — something it wishes to provide you or ensure for you. And every intention, at its core, is always good and chosen with your best interest at heart. Now, the way these various parts ensure their intentions are being met is through the use of behaviors. The behaviors that you display are actually driven by these various parts of you happily fulfilling their intentions for you.Simply becoming aware of the whole you and uncovering those conflicting intentions will have a huge impact on the manifestation of your desires. When you have a clean slate to create from, the tools for creating come much easier and provide amazing success. I encourage you to begin the journey. The rewards are nothing short of living your dream life!21. What does "Expectation Gap" refer toA. A gap between people's desire and their expectations.B. A gap between people's conscious mind and their unconscious mind.C. A gap between people's dream life and their real life.D. A gap between people's conflicting intentions.22. Why are people caught in expectation gapA. People are not aware of their conscious minds.B. People are mainly aware of their unconscious minds.C. People are only aware of their conscious minds.D. People are only aware of their own desires.23. What method can be adopted in order to meet your intentionsA. Being more aware of the whole you.B. Being more aware of your subconscious mind.C. Choosing your desires according to your own interests.D. Taking actions to realize your intentions.24. What is the best title for the passageA. Expectation Gap — Between Consciousness and SubconsciousnessB. Means to Realize Your Dream LifeC. The Use of Your BehaviorsD. The Making of Your Personality25. What CANNOT be inferred from the passageA. Many people would feel frustrated if their real life is not what they have expected.B. A person's subconscious mind plays a very important role in molding his or her personality.C. Expectation gap can be tackled by making full use of your tools and resources.D. Conflicting desires should be decreased in order to realize a person's dream life.答案：CCDBDPassage TwoAlmost everyone has memories of a person who has had an impact on their life. Their words in that moment altered something deep inside of you and changed who you are. The person who influenced you could have been the parent of a friend, someone you saw on a regular basis at the grocery store, a neighbor or a beloved teacher. It could be something as simple as a conversation or how they conducted themselves in the world.We all can have such an influence on others. Whether you believe it or not, your actions, attitude and how you conduct your life does get noticed and has an influence on others. Think of how you conduct yourself in your profession, at school or even while just out shopping. How we conduct our life teaches people and influences them. That's a pretty heavy thought. If you wake up each morning knowing that today you will teach someone, that can absolutely have an impact on your attitude and how you feel about yourself and the world.As we go through the day, we can try to be open to lessons to be learned from difficult people and situations. Every time someone's remarks challenge us, it's an opportunity to look inside and see what sensitive nerve was hit. Being human and preferring to be liked, it's natural to want teachers who are considerate of our feelings. Consider this, however. When things are always lovely and sweet, what do you learn from them Blunt or even unkind remarks could be what we need to spur a change. The important thing is to keep an open mind. Even things said that are obviously out of jealousy could contain a grain of truth. That grain of truth could be something to think upon in spite of someone else's perception. Study the words to see if there might be something to it. If not, then let it go.So, what lessons do you think you have learned from someone else I don't know about others, but I have learned life lessons from books and powerful television shows. The most powerful lessons I've learned have been from people I know. I have a friend who could be considered severely handicapped. To me, she is the most positive person I've ever met in my life. Her attitude in the face of horrendous adversity is something I have tried to emulate.26. Which of the following CANNOT exert an influence on other peopleA. A person's behaviors.B. A person's attitudes towards life.C. A person's life lesson.D. A person's actions.27. What should be the right understanding of difficult people and unkind statementsA. These are challenges to be met.B. These are out of jealousy.C. These are other people's perception.D. These are opportunities for us to improve ourselves.28. What method should be adopted to face difficult people or unkind statementsA. To ignore them.B. To be open to them.C. To be sensitive to them.D. To be considerate.29. What can be inferred from the passageA. We can learn a lot from kind remarks and favorable situations.B. If other people's remarks are mainly out of jealousy, we can pay little attention to them.C. Keeping an open mind is necessary if you want to learn your life lesson.D. Those teachers who are considerate of students' feelings are good ones.30. What does the author learn from his disabled friendA. Her positive attitude towards adversity.B. Her ways to tackle adversity.C. Her life lessons.D. Her attitude towards life.答案：CDBCAVocabulary and StructureDirections: Each of the following sentences is provided with four choices. Choose the one that best completes the sentence. (60 points)31.
