题目内容

John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique violin and played it in the crowded subway station. The music from the violin was delicately streaming throughout the whole station. However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music. A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around. John only got 52 dollars for his work that day.
However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price. Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but cheap music feast.
I have a very busy friend who had totally changed after knowing that his wife came down with incurable illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day. Nonetheless, his wife still did not manage to conquer the illness and passed away after three months. After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife. But now, it is impossible to make up for it.
It is no use crying over spilt milk. We have missed a lot of precious things in our life without knowing to cherish them.
Actually, I also missed something precious before. The reason why we would have missed those precious things is less than simple: we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.
Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually by no means reliable. There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and regretting. The result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost it. We would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we become old, etc. However, when we reach the condition we have expected, we could no longer realize our wish, because we have lost it by then.
小题1:The reason why people often regret may be that _______.
A.they are too busy to notice the beautiful things
B.they are too careless to cherish precious things
C.they are lazy to observe the surroundings
D.they think that it’s none of their business
小题2:The idea the author would like to get across to us seems that _______.
A.actions speak louder than words
B.a bad beginning makes a bad ending
C.the lost will never come back
D.each day brings its own bread
小题3:What method does the author employ to support his opinion?
A.By listing data.B.By comparing the details .
C.By explaining the procedures .D.By taking examples.
小题4:How do we understand the underlined parts “waiting and regretting”?
A.Many people will not cherish what they have until they lost them.
B.Many people cannot do well until they get older.
C.Many people know what they are doing.
D.Many people regret for what they don’t possess.

My ears are recently full of joyous remarks from my friends such as, “Oh, Beckham is so handsome, so cool, that I can’t help falling in love with him!” or “What perfect skills he has!” Yeah, I agree  16  some degree, though I sometimes do want to ask them how much they  17  Beckham, apart from his appearance and how much they know about football  18  scoring goals. It seems funny that we are crazy for things, with which we are unfamiliar or  19  we are uncertain, but we all, my friends  20  I, consider this  21 .  
We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness  22  nonsense. As an old saying  23 :“Don’t judge a book by its cover.” We should not  24  anything from its appearance. We should all know, it is one’s good character and great contribution that  25  one a star and unforgettable. Therefore we’d better say  26  about Beckham’s good looks. 
If we close our eyes,  27  in deep thought, we can find that the things  28  us to be in truth happy, sad or moved  29 a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial things,  30  we will find that we have not really gained anything  31  our first impression has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant  32  we realize that and make some changes. 
It is believed that thinking and going deeper than before is sign of great  33 .If one day we are willing to go deeper into everything, no matter how much it  34  us, we will finally prove how much we have grown up, how much more sensible, mature, and intelligent we have  35

When something goes wrong,it can be very satisfying to say,“Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late,but it’s not my fault;the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault,but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.
小题1:According to the passage, winners        .
A.deal with problems rather than blame others
B.meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C.have responsible and able colleagues
D.blame themselves rather that others
小题2:When your colleague brings about a problem, you should         .
A.ask a more able colleague for help
B.blame him for his lack of responsibility
C.tell him to find the cause of the problem
D.find a better way to handle the problem
小题3:When problems occur, winners take them as         .
A.excuses for their failuresB.barriers to greater power
C.challenges to their colleaguesD.chances for self-development
小题4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.A Winner’s Problem.B.A Winner’s Secret.
C.A Winner’s Opportunity.D.A Winner’s Achievement.
A teacher teaching Maths to seven-year-old Laiq asked him, " If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?"
Within a few seconds Laiq   31  confidently, " Four!"
The confused teacher was expecting a(n)   32   correct answer, three.She was disappointed. "Maybe the child did not listen  33   " she thought. She   34   , "Laiq, listen carefully. If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?"
Laiq had seen the   35  on his teacher' s face. He  36  again on his fingers. But within him he was also   37   the answer that would make the teacher happy. This time hesitatingly he replied, "Four. "
The disappointment stayed on the teacher' s face.

Seeing the teacher   40  , young Laiq calculated on his fingers again. There was no pressure on him, but a little on the teacher. She wanted her new   41  to succeed.  42  a hesitating smile young Laiq replied, "Three?"
The teacher now had a   43  smile. Her approach had succeeded. She wanted to   44  herself.But one last thing remained.  45  she asked him, "Now if I give you one apple and one apple and one more apple how many will you have?"
Confidently Laiq answered, "Four!" The teacher was   46   "How Laiq, how?" she demanded in a little annoyed voice.
In a voice that was   47  and hesitating young Laiq replied, " Because I already have one   48  in my bag. "
The story tells us:  49  someone gives you an answer that is   50  from what you expect, don' t think they are wrong. There shall be an angle that you may not have thought about yet.

My name is Nick Vujicic, an Australian who was born without any limbs(四肢). In recent years one of my most 36 videos on YouTube shows my skateboarding, surfing, playing music, and best of all, 37 hugs from all fields of great people.
All in all, those are pretty ordinary 38 that just about anyone can do, right? So 39 do you think that video has been viewed millions of times? My theory is that people are 40 to watch it because in spite of my physical limitations, I’m living 41 I had no limits.
People often think someone 42 a severe disability to be inactive, upset, maybe even crazy. But I’d like to 43 them by showing that I lead a very adventurous and fruitful life
Among the hundreds of 44 on that video, here’s one typical remark:” seeing a guy like this being happy makes me wonder why I feel 45 for myself sometimes -or feel not funny enough, or whatever. How can I 46 think thoughts like that when this guy is living without limbs and still being happy!?”
I found happiness when I realized that imperfect 47 I may be, I am the perfect Nick Vujicic. I’m designed 48 God’s plan. That’s not to say that there isn’t 49 for improvement. I’m always trying to be better so I can better 50 the world!
I do believe my life has no 51 . I want you all to feel the same way about your life, no matter what your challenges may be. As we 52 our journey together, please take a moment to 53 about any limitations you’ve placed on your life. Now think about what 54 would be like to be 55 of those limitations. What would your life be if anything were possible?

You must have heard these words like how happy it is to be a child. But would you  16  change places with a child?

But the most  29  part of childhood is a period when you  30  to go out of it, the period when you go into adolescence(youth).Teenagers start to be  31  their parents and this causes them great  32 . There is a complete lack of self-confidence during this time. Adolescents pay much attention to their  33  and the impression they make on others.They  feel shy, awkward and clumsy(笨拙的). Feelings are strong and hearts  34  broken. Teenagers  35  moments of great happiness or black despair. And through this period, adults seem to be more unkind than ever.

I went to a group activity, “Sensitivity Sunday” which was to make us more   36  the problem faced by disabled people. We were asked to “   37  a disability” for several hours one Sunday. Some member   38  chose the wheel chair. Other wore sound-blocking earplugs (耳塞) or blindfolds (眼罩).
Just sitting in the wheelchair was a   39  experience, I had never considered before how   40  it would be to use one. As soon as I sat down my   41  made the chair begin to roll. Its wheel were not   42  . Then I wondered where to put my   43  , It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest into   44  , I took my first uneasy look at what was to be my only means of   45  for several hours. For disabled people, “adopting a wheelchair” is not a temporary(临时的)   46  .
I tried to find a   47  position and thought it might be restful,   48  kind of nice to be   49   around for a while. Looking around, I   50  would have to handle the thing myself! My hands started to ache as I   51  the heavy wheels, I came to know that controlling the   52  of the wheelchair as not going to be   53  task,
My wheelchair experiment was soon   54  . It made a deep impression on me. A few hours of “disability” gave me only a taste of the   55  , both physical and mental, that disabled people must overcome.

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn't move. What was the  36  was that he found himself unable to ask for help ------ his mobile phone went out of   37__ as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but  38__ in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the  39 of rescue.
It is almost  40__ that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his  41_ ,“First of all I checked up my  42  condition and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no  43  to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from  44  . In this way I fell lightly asleep. ”
His story put an end to my regret for the  45  of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men  46  to explore a mountain cave and got lost.  47_ to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of  48  . Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the  49  people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the  50  of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to  51   themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering ( 闪烁 ) far away.
Don't you think that you can compare it with  52  itself ? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are   53  in darkness. Mind you it's unclear yet and you needn't put up struggle  54  . It seems to be a negative attitude,  55    a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as great courage in the first place.
