There’s no doubt that our character has a profound effect on our future.What we must remember,however,is not merely how powerful character is in influencing our fate (命运),but how powerful we are in shaping our own character and,therefore,our own fate.Character may determine our fate,but character is not determined by fate.

It’s a common mistake to think of character as something that is fully formed and fixed very early in life.It calls to mind old proverbs like “A leopard can’t change its spots” and “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”

This perspective that our character is “etched in stone” is supported by a great deal of modern psychology emphasizing self-acceptance.As Popeye says,“I am what I am.” The hidden message is:Don’t expect me to be more,better,or different.

Ultimately,these views of humanity totally undervalue the lifelong potential for growth that comes with the power of reflection and choice.

How depressing it would be to believe that we can’t choose to be better,more honest,more respectful,more responsible,and more caring.None of us should give up the personal seeking to improve our character.Not because we’re bad,we don’t have to be sick to get better ,but because we’re not as good as we could be.

There are so many things in life we can’t control,whether we’re beautiful or smart,whether we had good parents or bad,whether we grew up with affirmation or negation.It’s inspiring to remember that nothing but moral will power is needed to make us better.

No,it isn’t easy.But if we make a great effort to become more aware of the habits of heart and mind that drive our behavior,we can begin to place new emphasis on our higher values so that we become what we want our children to think we are.

【4】What do we need to improve ourselves according to the author?

【题目】阅读下列短文,选出最佳选项。

When I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee. I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didn’t pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said seriously, “You let that be the last time you’ve ever walked by somebody and not opened up your mouth to speak, because even a dog will wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” Mother’s words sound simple, but it’s been a guidepost for me and the foundation of who I am.

It’s not just something I believe in; it’s a way of life. I believe that every person deserves to feel someone acknowledge their presence, no matter how humble (卑微) they may be.

At work, I always said hello to the founder of the company and ask him how our business was doing. But I also spoke to the people who cleaned the buildings and asked how their children were doing. After a few years of greeting the founder, I had the courage to ask him for a meeting. We had a great talk. At a certain point I asked him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat.”

I’ve become vice president, but it hasn’t changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mother’s advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. I’ve learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it allows them to come into mine, too.

【1】What did the author do when he met Mr. Lee?

A. He talked with somebody else.

B. He was attracted by a dog.

C. He greeted him politely.

D. He ignored him.

【2】What kind of person is the author’s mother?

A. Optimistic. B. Kind-hearted.

C. Strict. D. Open-minded.

【3】How did the company founder reply to the author?

A. He inspired him. B. He played a joke.

C. He invited him to coffee. D. He gave him the seat.

【4】What does the author think of saying hello to people?

A. It’s a way to show sympathy to people.

B. It can build connections with others.

C. It’s a must to become a president.

D. It can bring him what he wants.

NOWADAYS, most animated (动画) films rely heavily on computer technology. But his magical world where witches (魔法师) cast spells and castles float in the sky is brought to life by hand. Nevertheless, Hayao Miyazaki is referred to as Japan’s Walt Disney and considered by many to be the world’s greatest living animator.

This month, the 72-year-old Miyazaki announced his retirement. The Japanese animator has directed 11 animated full-length films over the past four decades, including the Oscar-winning Spirited Away (《千与千寻》) and his latest release, The Wind Rises (《起风了》), which tells the life story of a man who designed Japanese World War II fighter planes.

Just as The Wind Rises shows, Miyazaki is well-known for his obsession with flight, especially human flight. Other striking aspects of Miyazaki’s films include his themes of environmental protection and the horrors of war.

Miyazaki’s work is also famous for its lack of clearly defined good and evil characters. He sees the 21st century as a complex time when old norms need to be re-examined.

As a storyteller, he is an inventor of fairy tales full of mystery. In the Miyazakian universe, wizards (巫师) turn into birds of prey; young girls are transformed overnight into 90-year-old women; greedy parents are changed into pigs; and shooting stars become fire demons (恶魔).

As a visual (视觉的) artist, most of Miyazaki’s grace comes from his vivid (鲜明的) colors and lovingly drawn landscapes a rolling meadow (草地) covered with flowers and shadowed by clouds, or a range of rocky hills rising toward snow-capped mountain peaks

People attribute Miyazaki’s success to his long pursuit of his hand-drawn technique, although in an interview with CNN he called himself an “extinct species” in the age of digital animation.

A recent television documentary on the making of The Wind Rises showed a disappointed Miyazaki throwing a pile of drawings into the trash. He is said to have redrawn thousands of frames of the much-praised Princess Mononoke (《幽灵公主》) when they did not meet his standards.

But his huge attention to detail has earned him the respect of the entire animated film world. Even John Lasseter head of Pixar, the famous US computer animation studio once called Miyazaki “one of the greatest filmmakers of our time”.

【1】What can we know about Miyazaki’s film The Wind Rises?

A.It was put on a long time ago.

B.Its hero is a soldier.

C.It describes horrors of war.

D.It is an Oscar-winning film.

【2】What does the underlined word “obsession” mean in paragraph 3? ?

A.Enthusiasm B.Hate

【3】According to the article,Miyazake’s films _____.

C.are full of new norms and clearly defined good and evil characters
