11．"How call I obtain more drugs？"I cried．"I can't live without the help of drugs!''．You see，I was only 14 years of age when someone said to me，"Here，smoke this!It will make you feel good．"So that is how my habit of d rug-taking began．
Soon I felt I could not live without more and more drugs．So I found I needed more and more money to buy drugs．So I began to steal things from my family and from shops．Then in the street I pointed my gun at people，saying，"Give me your money，or I will shoot you!"
I lost all my friends．My family also said，"Get out of this house and never return here!"I then realized the truth-drugs were killing me．"Unless someone told me how to escape from the desire for drugs，I will soon be dead，"I said．
Then one day，I read in a paper，"We help drug-takers!''I decided，"I will go and see what these people think they can do for me．"So I stayed at their meeting place for seven months．But they failed．They did not take the desire for drugs from me．
Then one day，I read something in the magazine called"La Paloma"．I read how people said，"We could not escape from the desire for drugs．But now we have freedom．God gave us power to escape this desire．God gives us the power of the spirit when we believe what Jesus Christ obtained for us by dying for us．"SO I decided，"I will go to this Betel meeting place as reported in‘La Paloma'．I will see if they can help me．"
Now I found these Betel people never left me alone．Yes，someone was always there with me day and night．Then one day I cried out to God，"God，please help me!"I know God heard my cry．I found I now had power to escape the desire for drugs．
At last I am free from the desire for drugs．I have found real peace of mind．I now enjoy life and help other people to overcome their d rug problem．

分析 "我怎么得到更多的毒品呢？"我哭喊着．"没有毒品的帮助我活不了"你知道吗，在我只有14岁时有人对我说"来，吸这个，它会让你感觉很好的"．"所以那就是我吸毒这个习惯的开始"．
很快我就觉得没有越来越多的毒品我活不了．所以我发现我需要越来越多的钱去买毒品，因此我开始从家里和商店里面偷东西，接着在街上我用枪指着人们，说"给我你的钱，不然我就开枪．"
我失去了我的朋友，我的家人也说"从家里出去，然后永远不要回来了"．之后我才意识到一个道理--毒品正在杀死我．"如果没有人告诉我如何摆脱毒品的欲望，我很快就会死的"，我说．
接着有一天，我在报纸上看到"我们帮助那些吸毒的人"．我决定"我将去看看这些人他们觉得能帮助我什么"．所以我呆在他们见面的地方七个月．但是他们失败了，他们没有成功帮我戒毒．
然后又有一天，我在一本叫做"La Paloma"的杂志上看到，我看到人们这么说"我们逃脱不了要吸毒的欲望，但是现在我们有自由，上帝给我们力量去逃脱这种欲望，上帝给我们这种精神力量当我们相信耶稣为了我们而牺牲．"所以我决定"我将去"La Paloma"杂志上报道的这个Betel会所看看，我看看他们是否能帮助我"．
现在我发现这个Betel会所的人从来没有离开过我，是的，有人为了你日夜在那．然后有一天我哭着对上帝说，"上帝，请你帮帮我"．我知道上帝听到了我的叫喊．我发觉现在我有能力逃脱吸毒的欲望了．
最后我完全戒毒了，我真正发现了我内心的平和．现在的我很享受生活并帮助其他人克服吸毒这个问题．

解答 41．B 细节理解题．根据第一段I was 14 years of age when someone said to me，Here，smoke this!Itwill make you feel good"，可知作者对毒药成瘾是有人说服他的，故选B．
42．D 细节理解题．根据第三段I lost all my friends．My family also said，"Get out of this houseand never return here!"可知作者意识到毒品正在杀死他是当他的家人和朋友都抛弃他的时候，故选D．
43．D 推理判断题．根据文章最后一句话I now enjoy life and help other people to overcome their drugproblem．可知作者戒毒后是帮助那些吸毒的人，而不是D选项说的"远离那些对毒品成瘾的人"，故选D．
44．D 细节理解题．根据文章God gave us power to escape this desire．God gives us the power of the spirit when we believe what JesusChrist obtained for us by dying for us．可知"La Paloma"是通过把上帝的力量转移到吸毒成瘾的人身上，使他们戒毒成功的，故选D．
45．C主旨大意题．通过文章的理解，是描写了作者吸毒成瘾，在亲人朋友的离弃后，通过各种方式最后戒毒成果，因此选C"作者如何戒掉吸毒"．

点评 本文描写了作者对毒品成瘾，以及后来通过各种方式戒毒成功，题目涉及多道细节理解题，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性地找出相关语句进行分析，结合选项找出正确答案，推理判断题和主旨大意题是要抓住关键语句对文章进行理解，才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．

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．"

39．What's the author's attitude towards people's greed for new products？C
A．Supportive．
B．Optimistic．
C．Critical．
D．Unclear．
40．How do the electronics companies successfully promote their latest products？A
A．They make full use of the"planned obsolescence"strategy．
B．They make a fool of customers by recycling their old products．
C．They control the customers'way of thinking while shopping．
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．
D．To make huge profits out of its business．
42．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Li Jijia feels the need to replace his smart-phone as a result ofB．
A．new psychology
B．peer pressure
C．life style
D．friends'expectation．
16．Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it？Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind．How can you use this to increase your brain power？Start writing．
By putting thoughts into words，you are telling yourself the logic（逻辑）behind what you think，feel，or only partly understand．Often，explaining a thought is the process of understanding．In other words，you increase your brain power by exercising your"explain power．"
Try this experiment．Explain how you'll increase your brain power，even if you have no idea how right now．Just start with anything，and create an explanation．For example，start with"I'll learn chess''or"I'll read an article on the mind every week．"Explain how that will help．You'll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan，and if you actually do this you'll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now．
Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember．Many，if not most，highly productive people are always taking notice．You can try keeping it all in your head，but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you'll working on a big project，you'll probably have more success．
Want to understand a topic？Write a book about it．That's an extreme example，but if you are learning something new，write a letter to a friend about it，and you will understand it better．Want to invent something？Write an explanation of the problem，why you want to solve it，and why it is worth solving，and  you're half-way there．
Writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand．Often，they write about something because they want to understand it．You can do the same．Writing will help bring you to an understanding．Give it a try．

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．
