12.Does failure really exist?
If you believe you have failed,then you have.If you believe you don't have the ability to succeed,then you don't. (71)B The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals,failure is born.
(72)A.
Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it.They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals,but only until the going gets too tough or their energy dies down.Don't do that!(73)F Never quit,never admit failure,and never lose heart.
Don't believe in a clear finish line for goals.
It's a good idea to set a general timeline,but remember that something will be beyond your control. (74)E if you lock yourself into a given timeline,you might make yourself feel like a failure!Instead,get a general idea of when you'd like your goal to be completed.Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.
Be sure that you don't see difficulties as failures.
Difficulties mean only one thing:it's not time for your goal to be completed yet.That's it!It doesn't mean you failed; it doesn't mean you're weak; it doesn't mean you'll never achieve your goals. (75)D You've got to keep moving forward and find a way over,around,or through the difficulties.

A.Never give up on yourself.
B.Failure only exists in your own mind.
C.That's exactly how failure makes us feel.
D.It simply means you have not done enough yet.
E.You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.
F.Make up your mind to make your goal happen,no matter what!
G.Work hard towards your goal,and you will be likely to get good results.

12.You may have read about confidence.But reading about confidence,and actually achieving it,are very different issues.You can read about it your entire life,but you will not have it until you make a move to achieve it.
If you are going to do something about your confidence level,you really have to make a posi-tive decision to get started,and then get along with it.(36)EWatching and reading about it will not do you any good at all.The reality is that you are going to have to make that first critical move.
Reading theory alone is not enough.(37)BWhy,you might ask?Confidence is not theory.
It is a feeling and a state of mind.Therefore,it is not possible for anyone to build confidence with-out having to do something about it.
Money and gold will not buy yon confidence.It is not something that comes ready-made,off the shelf in a supermarket.The responsibility lies with one person and one person only.(38)AAs soon as you take some sort of action,something will happen:you will gain experience.
Whatever that experience is,it becomes an asset(所有物)that is yours to use and also to share.
Someday that experience may help you.(39)FKeep doing things,repeatedly if necessary,and
your knowledge and skill base will grow.As it grows,your confidence will increase.The better you get at whatever it is,the more confidence you will have,Furthermore,that extra knowledge and experience forms a foundation for the next level.(40)G

A.And that is you.
B.Action is required.
C.You will probably make mistakes.
D.Self-confidence is something unique.
E.If you do nothing,then nothing will happen.
F.It may even help you to advise somebody else.
G.Before you know it,you will be building a skyscraper.
9.Have you ever noticed a character on a TV show or in a movie drinking your favorite brand of cola or driving your favorite type of sports car?This is called"product placement",or PPL for short,and it is a form of advertising in which a product is inserted into the scene of a movie or a TV program.PPL has increased greatly in recent years,and has become some companies'favorite method of advertising their products.If you saw the movie Spiderman,you might have noticed ads for Samsung electronics,Toyota cars,and Dr.Pepper soda.
Companies love the convenience of PPL:There are no commercials to make,models to hire,nor concepts to dream up.By featuring their product in a popular TV show or movie,that product is naturally linked with an attractive character in a comfortable setting:Take one of the main characters on Friends,for example.Think about Rachel in a fine Ralph Lauren suit,working at a Ralph Lauren store in New York City.And entertainment producers love the money PPL brings in-----in fact,the entire production budget for some movies is sometimes paid for by the film's PPL advertisers.
However,there is more and more opposition to the growing PPL trend.Critics say obvious PPL in movies or TV shows destroy viewers'ability to escape into the fantasy world on the screen.Directors and writers hate having to include a product in a scene,ruining the writing and aesthetic(美学的) quality of the piece.And consumer groups warn that kids cannot tell PPL.When,for example,a child sees his favorite character wiping her lips with a Kleenex after drinking a Coca-Cola,it is likely that the child would falsely think that Kleenex and Coca-Cola are the general terms for all similar products.This suggests that PPL can be a powerfully subconscious tool that encourages kids to develop preferences for certain brands.
Regardless of how critics feel about it,there is little doubt that PPL will continue to play a significant part in entertainment for the foreseeable future.
28.PPL is a type of ad thatB.
A.helps people get to know the latest trend
B.places a product in a movie or a TV show
C.enables small businesses to develop fast
D.uses characters related to a movie or a TV show
29.According to Paragraph 2,PPL is consideredD.
A.a one-stop movementB.a two-step movement
C.a win-win movementD.a long-term movement
30.Why do consumer groups disapprove of PPL?D
A.It prevents views escaping from the real world.
B.It destroys the artistic beauty of the show or the movie.
C.It creates negative relationships between products and movies.
D.It can cause children to prefer certain brands without knowing why.
31.What's the author's attitude towards the growing PPL trend?A
A.Positive.B.Doubtful.C.Cautious.D.Unconcerned.
17.A.Balance budget.
B.Save money.
C.Wait before buying.
D.Set goals.
E.Earn an allowance.
Many children today are not being taught how to handle money responsibly.A"have now,pay later"attitude is getting a lot of people deeper in debt.That's why it is never too early to begin teaching children the value of money.
63.E
Start to give your children some pocket money.However,explain that they must earn their allowance.Even a toddler(学步者) can do simple housework in return for a small allowance.Make certain that your child understands that if the housework is not completed,children will receive no allowance that week.Likewise,increase the amount of their allowance as children get older and become more responsible.
64.B
It is important for a child to understand that only part of her/his allowance is for spending while another part of it must be saved.You may wat to add an extra reason for your child to save money by offering to match however much money children save within a specified length of time.
65.C
Ask children to wait just a week,and then see if children still want to buy the item.More times than not,children will have forgotten about it by week's end.This will help to teach children the difference between those things that they want and those things which they really need.
66.A
Once a child is old enough to write,encourage her to track her money by recording all the money that your child spends each week in a small notebook.Explain how your child should cut each of the expenses from the allowance your child received that week,carrying over any remaining balance to the next week.This will help to prepare your child for balancing a checkbook later on in life.
4.NOISE
    The people who lived in Rome 2,000 years ago were already talking about the noise in their
city.They couldn't sleep,they said,with all the people and carriages in the streets.For them noise was only a trouble,but for us it has become a real danger.We know that sounds of an ordinary city are loud enough to cause serious harm to the people's hearing--in the United States,one person out of twenty has suffered some hearing loss.(66)FIt has increased greatly in the 20th century with the development of machines.We live
surrounded by loud planes,trucks,buses,radios,machines--that make such loud noises day and
night up to 90 or 100 decibels(分贝).A usual talk reaches 55 decibels.A jet plane goes to 100
decibels and more."Pop"music reaches around 118 decibels.At 120 decibels the ear stops
hearing sound,and the ear suffers a lot.
    However,the human ear does not judge clearly the degree of loudness of a noise.A sound ten decibels louder than another one is felt as twice as loud,when,in fact,it is ten times louder.
 (67)EBut it is not only our hearing that is harmed.It has been known that loud noises,over a period of time,cause loss of sleep,anger,and many other problems.(68)GCan anything be done to make our world more quiet?We know how to build quieter machines,if the public wants them.But shop-assistants say that people who buy motorbikes like the loudest ones because they sound more loudly.(69)AIn America the drivers in some cities are fined fifty dollars for honking;they may lose their right to drive if they do it again.People who carry noisy radios in public places may lose them if they are caught with them.(70)DEven so,say the scientists,in twenty years the cities will be twice as loud as they are
today because of the increase of the population.People will have to shout to be heard at the dinner table.Unless,of course,they have all become completely deaf!

A.Some countries are trying to make laws.
B.People will become completely deaf in the future.
C.When a sound is getting louder and louder,our ears are in danger.
D.In fact,it will take everybody's hard work to keep city noises from increasing.
E.Since we cannot measure the increase or decrease of noise,we never know in what danger we are.
F.And all over the world the situation is getting worse all the time since noise increases with the population.
G.Such problems have been found among factory workers,and people who operate loud machines,or often go to pop music concerts.
1.Do you know what a big dream is?(71)COr,is a big dream something that provides only entertainment?Children dream big dreams,but there are three barriers to realizing dreams.They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow.
    The Self
    Immediately following the birth of a big dream,a negative self-talk takes over and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen.This inside voice is the ego(自我).It's there for protecting and should be listened to.(72)EMost people are influenced by the inside voice.That's why only a handful of people make their dream come true.
   (73)A
Family and friends are a lot like the ego.They want to protect those they love,so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won't come true.Sometimes,family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most,out of their own fear of being left behind.
The World
    If one gets past the first two barriers,one has to face the world.(74)FIn the past,big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world.Fortunately,in most of the world today,big dreamers just get laughed at.
The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action.When children have confidence and then take action,they will be ready to accept any failure.The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well.(75)D 

A.Family and Friends
B.How Big Dreams Die
C.Does a big dream show one's future?
D.They simply fail until they succeed.
E.Sometimes it is right,but more often it is wrong
F.It is the last and the most terrible barrier.
G.And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist.
