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. ”

请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
What is it about maths, anyway? Why is it that a ___36___ who would rather die than ___37___ they found reading difficult at school will happily say he is brain-dead when it ___38___ to numbers?
“I was ___39___ at maths at school,” they say. “still am. Can’t ___40___ up to save my life. My little girl takes after____41___. Thinks take-aways are something to do with fish and chips. Ha-ha!” Oh, how we all laugh.
But how many of us remember it being ___42___ at the time? How many of us remember the blind panic of the Monday morning maths test when the ___43___ we could hope for was a miracle(奇迹) to make the numbers we ___44___ without thinking as answers somehow ___45___ the questions?
On the face of it, today’s children can ___46___ be considered happier and more satisfied. They have a daily numeracy lesson ___47___ to improving their maths skills. But if that sounds like hell to you, you may ___48__ find that your child surprises you by actually quite ___49__ it.
One of the __50___ is that over the last ten years or so, there has been a ___51___ in the way maths is taught. And many of those who teach it feel it’s been a ___52__ for the better. There’s generally much more emphasis now on __53___ arithmetic, getting children used to doing calculations without forever having a pen in one hand and a calculator in the other. Often the first question a teacher will ask is: can you do this in your___54___? And if they can, they do.
The whole approach is more___55___, the goal to get children understanding numbers, not just putting them through the uninteresting process of learning something by repeating it until they remember it.

A school teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few    16  . Each tomato will be given a name of a person that the child    17  , so the number of tomatoes that a child will put in the plastic bag will depend on the number of people the child hates.
So when the day came, every    18   brought some tomatoes. Some had two; some three while some up to five tomatoes. The teacher then told the children to    19   with them the tomatoes in the plastic    20   wherever they go.
Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the    21   smell let out by the rotten tomatoes. Besides, those having more tomatoes had to carry    22   bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.
The teacher asked: “How did you    23   while carrying the tomatoes with you for 1     24  ?”
The children let out their frustrations and started    25   of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and    26  tomatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the    27  .
“This is exactly the    28   when you carry your hatred(憎恨) for somebody inside your heart. The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your    29   and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten tomatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the smell of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”
So    30   others is that best attitude to take!

Remembering names is an important social skill.Here are some ways to master it.
Recite and repeat in conversation.
When you hear a person’s name,repeat it.Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips.You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
You can let other people help you remember their names.After you’ve been introduced to someone,ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you.Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
Admit you don’t know.
Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed.Most of them will feel sympathy if you say.“I’m working to remember names better.Yours is right on the tip of my tongue.What is it again?”
Use associations.
Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual.For example,you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair.” To reinforce (加强) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
Go early.
Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic review for you.
【小题1】How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names?

A.They will be moved.B.They will be annoyed.
C.They will be delighted.D.They will be discouraged.
【小题2】 If you can't remember someone's name, you may __
A.tell him the truthB.tell him a white lie
C.ask him for pityD.ask others to help you
【小题3】When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember __
A.all their namesB.a couple of names first
C.just their last namesD.as many names as possible
【小题4】What does the text mainly tell us?
A.Tips on an important social skill.B.Importance of attending parties.
C.How to make use of associations.D.How to recite and repeat names.
