题目内容

We’ve all met with something that slows us down, for example, the bump（颠簸）in the road, the setback. You just have to keep in mind that a setback is only temporary and greater things lie ahead. Therefore, keep moving forward, developing what you have, since you’ve already built a solid foundation on which you can rely.

It is easy just to quit, give up and ignore the hard work you have put into something. But we believe in the “two steps forward, one step back” philosophy（哲学）. So how can you react when something doesn’t turn out as you’ve expected it to be?

First, be objective. Step back and look at the situation. Is your setback really that significant, or will it just require a little extra effort? Then, plan your next move. You can ask for help. Don’t be afraid or ashamed to do this. Frequently, people are more than willing to give you support and advice. You don’t have to be perfect; after all, nobody else is. Next, bounce back. Reevaluate the goals you should have set for yourself at the beginning and retool（改组）them as necessary. Goals should be realistic and specific, but that doesn’t mean they cant be flexible. Instead of looking at your project as a disaster or failure, view it with success. Concentrate on how great it will feel after it is finally done, after you have put your all into it. instead of focusing on a possible unsatisfactory performance one single time, take a moment to sit back and reward yourself for all that you have accomplished.

Above all, don’t live with regrets. Success is never easy. It remains up to you whether you will give up , or fight through the tough battles to earn whatever you want. Keep reaching for your goals and you will achieve them. One small setback is nothing if you really want something and are willing to work for it.

Many do-it-yourself homeowners are interested in
trying out solar power to leam about the technology and
perhaps to provide energy for limited-use applications．
There are a variety of ways to find cheap solar panels
（板）, including buying used and building your own
with factory seconds．Both methods will save money
while forcing you to learn the ins-and-outs of a solar
power array （阵列）．
We've all seen solar-powered street signs or PV
panels being used for various purposes at remote locations．
When those units become cracked or chipped and are considered "unsafe", companies are forced to replace them, generally to avoid responsibility issues．Because it's difficult to get rid of PV panels, many companies, if approached, are willing to give them away or to sell them for modest prices．Depending on the degree of damage present, expect to see performance degradation （降级） in the range of 10% to 60%．A multimeter （万用表） can be used to test the panel before buying．If the panel's free, take it anyway．It could still be useful in a home solar project．
A solar panel is really nothing but a box serving as a container for a large group of solar cells．Factory second solar cells are usually sold on eBay at a small part of their regular cost．The cells come in a variety of sizes．You will need to figure out how much power a single cell produces to determine how many will need to be wired together to form an array．
A simple search of the Internet will show numerous sites detailing home solar panel projects．Do-it-yourself lovers are generally quite generous in supply photographs of their work and description of what went wrong and right with the project．
Getting cheap solar panels with slight imperfections, either used or through sales of factory seconds, is a perfect solution for home-built renewable energy projects．The high number of solar lovers online provide a wealth of useful information．Only limited skills are required, plus an understanding of the basic wiring involved．All are well within the talents of almost any home handyman．Beyond the satisfaction of having completed the project, you'll come away with a functional solar panel that will be a source of power for use around the house or at remote locations．
Solar energy systems are quickly becoming more popular with homeowners as prices continue to decline．
72．The author writes the passage to introduce ____．
A．ways of finding cheap solar panels B．ways of saving energy

Do you know why some people are always healthy? If you study all the healthy people in the world, you’ll begin to notice some behaviors many of them share in common. For example, healthy people tend to live an active lifestyle. Exercise is usually a main part of their lives. They spend less time in front of a TV, and more time out and in achieving things and living life. Being on your feet all day and sitting in front of a computer can mean a loss or gain of hundreds of calories a day.

Healthy people surround themselves with other healthy people. We are highly influenced by the people closest to us. Surrounding yourself with healthy people tends to make you healthy by association. Not only are you inspired by your healthy friends, but there’s also a sense of social pressure to be healthy yourself when you’re around them. Who says social pressure has to be a bad thing?

Does your job make you feel bad? Healthy people have a job that makes them happy. We’ve all heard the saying that if you do a job you enjoy, you’ll never work a day in your lives. Happiness and health are highly related. Healthy people tend to be happy. Not only do healthy people tend to like their jobs, but they tend to live for them. They look forward to getting up every day and living their lives to the fullest.

People with self-confidence look healthy. Healthy people have confidence in themselves. They don’t worry about what other people think. They surround themselves with positive people, and they go about their days as if they can achieve anything.

Healthy people like smiling. Try smiling at everyone and not only do you get a smile back, but it makes you feel good about yourself. You’ve just made someone’s day better. Healthy people understand the link between happiness and health, and they tend to walk around with smiles on their faces, or laughter in their hearts.

Healthy people don’t wait for problems to come to them — they go after problems. Regular checkups(检查) are the normal things for healthy people. People who live long and healthy lives catch problems before they become so big that they destroy their lives. They discover them early and then take action to prevent them from happening again in the future.

Do you consider yourself a healthy person? How many of these habits fall into your life? What other habits of healthy people have you noticed?

Not too long after I had begun to drive as a teenager, someone pulled out of a parking lot onto the road in front of me. I reacted 36 and pulled up very close behind her--- just to show my irritation(怒气) and let her know she didn't "just 37 with that!" We've all been there with 38 incidents and reactions. My mother was with me, and told me to turn into the 39 parking lot. Safely there, she asked me why I 40 that lady had pulled out in front of me purposely. 41 rude, power play--- I guessed. Mom said that maybe she had just had some bad 42 , maybe she was late picking up her child and was distracted(分心). Think of all the 43 of why someone does something like that. It's usually not on purpose--- but what I do as a reaction is on purpose. She always said that I 44 to think about the other side before I 45 . Usually the reaction causes more of a 46 .

I am in my fifties now, and to this day, that has always 47 my head whenever those 48 happen. I've 49 my children the same thing. We often see and hear about "road rage." No matter to what 50 that "rage" is taken, my children will say something like, "They need Grandma's words!" As adults, I don't see them react as most of us do 51 their first reaction is always anger and irritation --- they 52 it and 53 what the other person's problem might be. Even if the other driver really might be 54 or doing a "power play," no more 55 reactions will occur because of their irritation.

We've all heard the old saying，“Sticks and stones can break my bones，but words can never hurt me.” Don't you believe it？Words are powerful，and they can hurt—a lot. In fact，if you're not careful，you can even hurt yourself，by using the wrong word in your writing.

Recently a friend sent me a copy of an e-mail she received from the customer service department of her credit card company，after she contacted them with a question about her account. She was happy with their positive response. But as I read the e-mail，one line jumped out at me：“In lieu of good customer service...”

Did they really mean they were offering her a few extra reward points instead of good customer service？I doubt it. More likely，what the customer service department meant to say was，“Because good customer service is important to us...” followed by the details of what they were doing to make sure she remained a happy customer.

So why didn't the writer say that？I can only guess that perhaps the writer liked the phrase “in lieu of”，thought it sounded more interesting than saying “because”，and so used it—without bothering to check the true meaning.

Have you ever done that？Try to impress others with a big word，only to find out you've used the word incorrectly？It's just the opposite effect，isn't it？You may impress people all right，but it's not the impression you were going for.

When you write，remember to choose your words carefully. People may still disagree with what you say，but they won't be able to dismiss you because you made careless mistakes in how you said it.

1.What's the writer's purpose in giving the saying?

A．To amuse the reader. B．To persuade the reader.

C．To support a conclusion. D．To lead to the topic.

2.What does the phrase “in lieu of” most probably mean?

A．Because of B．In honour of C．Instead of D．In favour of

3.According to the writer，the customer service department ______.

A．didn't prefer to use familiar words to attract customers

B．didn't express what they really meant

C．didn't need to offer their customers extra reward points

D．succeeded in impressing their customers
