	A．	are preparing		B．	have been prepared
	C．	have been preparing		D．	were preparing

14．The intrepidd explorers travelled down the river to the coast by canoe．

6．Although his 1-year-old smart-phone still works perfectly，Li Jijia already feels the need to replace it．
"There are many better ones available now．It's time to upgrade（更新）my phone．"
Li's impatience is shared by many．Shortly after the season when new products are released，many consumers feel the urge to upgrade their electronic equipment，even though the ones they have still work just fine．
As consumers'minds are occupied by Apple's newly released products and debate whether the Google tablet is better than the new Amazon Kindle，it might be time to take a step back and ask："Do we really need the latest upgrades？"
According to Donald Norman，an American author，"planned obsolescence （淘汰）"is the trick behind the upgrading culture of today's consumer electronics industry．
Electronics producers strategically release new upgrades periodically，both for hardware and software，so that customers on every level feel the need to buy the newest version．
"This is an old-time trick-they're not inventing anything new，"Norman said．"This is a wasteful system through which companies-many of them producing personal electronics-release poor-quality products simply because they know that，in six months or a year，they'll put out a new one．"
But the new psychology of consumers is part of this system，as Norman admitted，"We now want something new，something pretty，the next shiny thing．"In its most recent year，Apple's profit margin was more than 21percent．At Hewlett-Packard，the world's biggest PC maker，it was only 7percent．
Apple's annual upgrades of its products create sales of millions of units as owners of one year's MacBook or iPhone line up to buy the newest version，even when the changes are slight．
As to Li Jijia，the need for upgrading his smart-phone comes mainly from friends and classmates．When they are switching to the latest equipment，he worries about feeling left out．
"Some games require better hardware to run，"said Li．"If you don't join in，you lose part of the connection to your friends．"

D．They invent new products to attract the youth like Li Jij ia．
41．Why is Apple Company interested in producing latest version of its product？D
A．To provide customers with better service．
B．To defeat other competitors like Hewlett-Packard．
C．To establish a favorable image of itself among its customers．

3．How many times do you have to fail at something in order to succeed？Did you know that THomas Edison failed 10，000 times while trying to invent the light bulb？He certainly had a"learn and do"atfitutle!He was able to turn each failed experiment into a successful way to invent the light bulb．So what can we learn from this？You can adopt the"fail forward"strategy too．
In reality，none of us axe failures．It's true，we will experience times of defeat，problems，and disasters，but remember，each one of us is meant to succeed in life．However，we must choose our fate．Henry David Thoreau said，"Men are born to succeed，not to fail．"
We can never be forced into having a happy and successful life．Whether or not you experience success or failure is completely controlled by what you think and do．You are the only one who can choose the thoughts that will keep you from achieving the abundant life and joy that you are meant to have．No matter how difficult things may seem，say to yourself．"I choose to be a happy and successful person．"
Why do some people get what they want and others fail？I believe that getting what you desire in life takes planning，and it doesn't just happen by luck．So how do we plan for success？
It has been proven that successful people do things more differently．than unsuccessful people．They recognize the patterns of success and follow them；one of those patterns is planning．They plan what they think and do，which sets them apart．They know exactly what they desire，have an intelligent plan for getting it，and then work their plan．They know what success will cost them in terms of time，energy，and results，and they devote the right resources toward making their plans happen．
