Several minutes later, Nancy began to have supper with Mummy.

“Who   39  that you are bad?” asked Mummy.

“Phillips, my friend. He asked me for help with his maths but I   40   because I wanted to read the new book Daddy gave me. He got   41  and said I was a bad girl,” said Nancy.

“You are   42  ,” said Mummy. “Phillips has often helped you with your English. You should have helped him. Why don’t you phone him and say   43  to him?”

“But he called me bad and   44  with me. I don’t want to go,” Nancy cried.

“Though you have done   45   bad, it does not make you a bad person. You are  46   a good person.”

Nancy showed a  47   look on her face. “How can that be, Mummy?” she asked.

“Our   48  is always good. So never believe that you are bad,” Mummy replied with a smile.

  49   flooded on Nancy’s face. “Am I  50  good, Mummy?” she asked.

“Yes, you are good, and always will be so. But that does not mean that you should not  51  the wrong that you do. You will have to call and   52  to Phillips. Do you understand me?”

“Yes, Mummy,” said Nancy slowly. “Thank you for telling me this. I feel much better now,” said Nancy  53 . “I am going to   54  Phillips right away, and I am never going to   55  that I am always good.”

How to Be a Winner

  Sir Steven Redgrave

  Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals

  “In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病). Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it ---the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”

  Karen Pickering

  Swimming World Champion

 “I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success----you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”

  Kirsten Best

  Poet & Writer

“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool”

第三部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)

A

As a child growing up, I have very few memories of the times when we gathered as a family to sit down and eat dinner together. I grew up in a home where both of my parents worked. My mother taught in the school, and my father worked during the night at a local chemical plant. There was not much time available for us to sit down to eat dinner together due to my parents’ conflicting(冲突的)work schedules and the afterschool activities in which my sister and I participated.

It wasn’t until I got married and had two children of my own that I began to realize the important of eating dinner together. In my family there are elements that take us away from each other, day in and day out, but as a mother I feel it is my duty to bring us all back together again at the end of the day. In my house, dinner time is a time of thanks. I give thanks for us to share our day, but I am more thankful for the family I share it with. Dinner time is a time for us to share our day, and reflect on our thoughts. Above all it is a time when my family are able to connect with the ones they love.

As I look at the bread basket which sits on my kitchen table, I am reminded of how the basket’s tight weave resembles the tightly woven strands(股)of my family. I believe that through our family dinners, we will not only pass around the meat and potatoes, but we will also pass along virtues that will shape us so that we can forever embrace one another just as the basket embraces the bread.
