23．C由本段中的 “If an employee was having a bad day,．．．”可知，如果员工有不愉快的一天，Michael就告诉这个士兵如何去看待生活的积极的一面。
24．D由下文的 “．．．so one day I went up to Michael and asked him,．．．．You can' t be positive all the time．How do you do it?”可知，作者好奇，所以问出这样的问题。因此，答案为D项。
25．D get it “了解，懂得”；make it “及时到达，成功，约定时间”；从上下文来看，作者不明白。因此问了下面的问题, “You can' t be positive all the time．How do you do it?”

32．C从句法分析，you live life主谓宾都有，因此，选择how，句意为：过怎样的生活是你的选择。
33．C由下文的 “．．．,falling off 60 feet from a communications tower．After l8 hours of surgery,．．．” 可知，Michael遇到了意外事故，因此，答案为C项。
34．B由本句知，在18个小时的手术后以及数周的intensive care重病特别护理后，他恢复了。因此，答案为B项。
35．A由下文的 “The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter,．．．”可知。go through穿过，经过；break through突围，突破；look through仔细检查；read through仔细阅读。
36．B由上文的知，Michael从60英尺高的信息塔上掉下来，因此，只能是躺在地上了。
37．C由文中的 “．．．remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or．．．”知，与活相对应的应该是die死了。
38．D由上文的 “Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also．．．”知，Michael活下来，由于他的医生们的技能，而且……，可知，另一个也是原因。所以，选择D项。so long as只要；in case of万一，如果； instead of代替，而不是。
39．C分析句子结构，that此处是引导宾语从句，在句中不做成分，只起引导作用。
40．A从全文来分析，以及让Michael从意外事故中活过来的原因 “his amazing attitude”可知，是态度决定一切。

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing,
he would reply, “If I were any better, I’d be twins!” He was a natural motivator.
One day I went up to Michael and asked him, “I don’t get it. You can’t be positive all the time. How do you do it?”
Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself ‘Mike, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or a bad mood.’ I choose the first. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.” Michael continued, “Life is all about choices. The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live life.”
Several years later, Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower. I saw him about six months after the accident. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
He said, “I first thought of my soon-to-born daughter and then remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live. I knew I needed to take action. So when a nurse kept shouting questions at me asking if I was allergic to anything, I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Gravity’. Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I’m choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead’.”
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.

If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius（天才）, they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational experts, this is one of the biggest mistakes that some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fall. Unrealistic expectations of the parents can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are realistic about what they expect their children to do, and are hopeful in a sensible（明智的） way, the child may succeed －especially if the parents are very supportive to their children.
Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and let him attend piano and violin lessons. Although his father is a good musician, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling to.
Michael’s friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a goal for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age, I used to win every competition I entered.” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he is always quiet and unhappy.
