题目内容

Dreaming is a natural part of who we are. We explore our dreams and develop personal dreams. We even like to dream BIG!
For the most part our dreams and wishes focus on the end result. We see ourselves in love, married, driving a great car, on vacation, with tons of money, in a great career, etc. Dreaming about the end result is just fantasizing and wishing. Wishing relies on some magical force to make our dreams turn into reality, and we become unhappy as we’re not living(实现) our dreams.
So how can we make our dreams come true? That is a question we all often struggle with. Even though we struggle with the answer, the answer is not that clear. We make our dreams come true with the action we take.
In my opinion, if you dream about being in good health, then change your dream to see yourself working out and eating right day by day. See the beginning of the dream and let the dream build day by day with all the action that gets you to the end dream of you being in good health.
If you want riches, then change the dream. Dream of yourself going to school, developing a career, working hard and taking the steps to arrive at the destination. If you want love, love the process. Love the dating process(过程). Love yourself and the journey to find love.
Make all your dreams include the beginning, middle and end. Then when you are doing the action instead of thinking to yourself, “This is a drag. I don’t like working out,” or if you are having any negative thoughts about doing the work it takes to create your visions(梦幻), realize then that every step of the way you are living your dream. You are living your dream because you made the action and journey part of your dream.

A．you’d better dream a sweet dream first.

What is it that you love to do but never feel that you get it quite right? Perhaps you don't even try any more because you think what you do is not  36  enough.
Discouragement seems to follow us a good part of the time,   37  whatever it is that we work so hard doing, it seems that there is    38   someone else who can do it much better.
I have always enjoyed music and it is    39   to me that every musician has a    40  of their own. My father__41   several instruments and when he played with others, it was not difficult to ___42  his sound in a group. Whether it was guitar or another instrument, he had his own  43 sound.
I  44  read of a music teacher who commented to a discouraged student, “   45   else can make the sound that you make. The sound that you make may not be the same as someone else's but who is to say which is     46   . ” It is said that, “   47    is in the eye of the beholder（观看者）, ” perhaps it could be said that “a delightful sound is in the ear of the    48   . ”
Every person has a different tone of voice that     49  only to them,     50    we all know people with an unforgettable laugh or a way of     51    that is unique to them. It might not be the sound of your music or your voice at all. It      52    be the way you whistle or the sound of your footsteps.
Each person has a（an）   53 on the world in some way. Someone else can do what you do, but they cannot do it   54  the same way that you do it. The next time you feel   55 , remember “Nobody else can make the sound that you make. ”

Now you’re a fool for helping. “I don’t want to get       ” seems to have become a national motto. One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California to New Orleans, Louisiana. In the middle of the desert, I passed a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb     and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time when you’d be called a jerk (混蛋) for passing by somebody _ ___ .
Several days later I was still  _  _ about the hitchhiker (搭便车的人), about how I didn’t even lift my foot  _ _  the accelerator (加速踏板) for him. “Does anyone stop any more?” I wondered.

I would only accept __   _ of rides, food and places to sleep. For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. I was treated kindly everywhere I went. I was __ _ _ by people’s readiness to help a stranger.
In Oregon, a house painter named Mike __ _ _ the cold weather and asked if I had a coat. I didn’t, so he gave me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a(n) _ _ _ _ dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me a tent. I     , but Tim insisted, packing it into my bag himself. I found people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or __ _ _ with them whatever they happened to have. Those who had the _ _ _ _ to give often gave the most.
I’m __ _ _ to all the people I met for their rides, their food, their shelter and their gifts. My faith in ordinary folks was __ _ _. I am proud to live in a country where people are still willing to help. Now about the hitchhiker I met the other day, I am feeling  __ _ that I did not stop to take him along .

I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people        I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a       person.
I think my        started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my       and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, so I hardly ever         to anyone in my classes. By the end of my first semester, I was really        . It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So tried a (n)        . I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I       to help. That was really a big        for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of        are still my best friends today. 
A bigger cause of my new        , however, came when I took a part-time job at a Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer’s disease became my         . Every time I came into her room, she was so       because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never        her, so I took her place. She let me       that making others feel good make me feel good, too, when she died, I was       , but I was very grateful to her.
I think I am a much        person today than I used to be, and I hope I will not        these experiences. They have         me to care about other people more than about myself. I        who I am today, and I could not say that a few years ago.

When  I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful. My        took me by train or by car to a hotel by the       . All day, I seem to remember, I       on the sands with strange       children. We made houses and gardens, and        the tide (潮汐) destroy (破坏, 毁坏) them. When the tide went out, we        over the rocks and looked down at the fish in the rock-pools.
In those days the        seemed to shine always brightly        the water was always warm. Sometimes we left the beach and walked in the country,        ruined (毁灭的) houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were       in one's pockets or good places where one could        ice-creams. Each day seemed a life-time. 
Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good        is much the same as it was. I       like the sun and warm sand and the sound of _      beating the rocks. I no longer wish to        any sand house or sand garden, and I dislike sweets.       , I love the sea and often feel sand running through my fingers.
Sometimes I        what my ideal (理想的) holiday will be like when I am       . All I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about        who make houses and gardens with sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make        sick on too many ices.

The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people．We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is that great talent is not enough．
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth．”
There is an old saying that goes, "Job means 'just over broke（破产）"．And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers "live within their means"．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn．
When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
小题1:The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that      ．
A．he is just one of the talented people
B．he is ready to help others
C．he has a sharp sense of hearing
D．he knows little about car repairing
小题2:The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by____   ．
A．spend more than they can afford
B．1ive within what they earn
C．1ive in their own circle
D．do in their own way
小题3:Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?
A．They don’t work hard enough．
B．They have no specialized skills．
C．They don't make full use of their talents．
D．They lack financial intelligence．
小题4:The main purpose of the author is to tell us____      ．
A．how young people can find a satisfactory job
B．What schools should teach about finance
C．why so many talented people are poor
D．how McDonald's makes much money
Most glasses help people see better, but a new invention from Japan may soon improve language skills and   language barriers instead.
High-tech Company NEC has   a device that it says will   users to communicate with people of different   .
Shaped like a pair of eyeglasses   without the lenses(镜片), the computer-assisted Tele Scouter would   a picture-forming device to present almost real-time translations directly onto the   retina（视网膜）. The text, provided instantly      voice recognition and   programs, would effectively provide movie-like “subtitles” （字幕） during a conversation between two people   the glasses.
“You can keep the   flowing,” NEC market development official Takayuki Omino told reporters at Tokyo exposition (展览会)   the device was on display. “This could also be used for talks     with secret information,” says Omino, stating that there would be no      for translators.
Each user’s   words would be   by microphone, translated, and be instantly   for conversation partners in   visual text and as audio delivered through headphones.
Users can still see their conversation partner’s face because the text is   onto only part of the retina—the first time such technology is used in a commercial product, according to NEC.
The company plans to put the Tele Scouter in Japan in November next year,    at the beginning without the translation mode.
