That woman carried a new blanket over her arm. Wordlessly, she gave it to me.

“Is it finished?” I asked.

She shook her head. “No. It is ready,” she replied. I handed her the money and took the blanket.

“It is beautiful, so skillfully woven,” I said to my mother. “But what did she mean when she said it was not finished? How can it be ready if it is not finished?”

“I will tell you later,” my mother said, “but first I will take you to the Navajo village.”

We went down to the village. A group of young men were making sand pictures. We walked through the whole village, watching the different things the people were doing.

It was not until that evening that my mother finally explained the Navajo woman’s words.

“Did you notice anything about the things the people were making?” My mother asked.

“What should I have noticed?” I looked at her and asked.

“Each thing the Navajo make has one small part that is not complete. The design in their sand pictures are often not perfectly done, for example---the line of a circle may not quite close. If you look carefully at your blanket, you will probably find a stitch(一针) missing.”

I took the blanket off, but it looked as perfect as any design could be. Then suddenly, I noticed that sure enough a stitch was missing!

“They believe that when anything is completed or finished, it means the end has come--- it will not be perfect until then. Then too, with a circle, they believe that they must leave a pathway for the bad spirits to run away and the good spirits to come in. So, often, they do not make the line close.

When it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidence．

People naturally have different levels of confidence．Some have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goals．Increasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionals．

One of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace．We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raise．This process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilities．After all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?

Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to success．If you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you do．

Being thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the job. If you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing. After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the team.

Having a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improve．Knowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence．

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A．The influence of confidence on one's life．

B．The importance of confidence to success．

C．The difference of people's confidence．

D．The judgment on one's confidence．

2.Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those ______．

A．who think their goals are hard to reach

B．who expect to give guidance to others

C．who want to ask the boss for a raise

D．who dream to be recognized experts

3.What does the underlined word "indispensable" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．important B．attractive

4.What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?

A．To overlook one's disadvantages．

B．To make full use of one's advantages．

C．To have great confidence in one's abilities．

D．To make objective evaluations of one's abilities．

Each year millions of babies are born too soon and too small. Premature or preterm births mean births at less than thirty-seven weeks.

Prematurity is the leading cause of death in newborn babies. More than one-fourth of the four million newborns who die each year around the world were born too early.

Preterm babies that survive can suffer a lifetime of serious health conditions. The examples include cerebral palsy, blindness, hearing problems and learning disabilities. Families and communities face emotional, physical and financial costs.

Christopher Howson is the vice president for global programs at the March of Dimes. His group and the World Health Organization recently published a report called “The Global and Regional Toll of Preterm Birth.”

Christopher Howson: “Frankly the problem of preterm birth is under-recognized and undervalued. People fail to recognize how serious the problem is. I mean, this report shows that thirteen million babies are born every year preterm, and that over a million of those babies die as a result of being born too early.”

And these are just estimates; the true numbers could be even higher. More than eighty-five percent of preterm births happen in Africa and Asia. Africa has the highest rate, with about four million cases each year.

Christopher Howson says many of the causes of preterm births are related to poverty and weak health-care systems.

Christopher Howson: “For example, the poor overall health and nutritional status of women. A high burden of infectious diseases. A lack of family planning – allowing a woman to decide when to start and end having children. And also the lack of good prenatal(产前) care programs that might identify problems early on in pregnancy.”

Preterm births are a problem not just in the developing world. The combined rate in the United States and Canada is the second highest in the world. Preterm birth rates in the United States have increased thirty-six percent in the last twenty-five years.

This has been largely the result of two reasons. One is an increase in pregnancies among women over age thirty-five. The other is an increase in the use of reproductive therapies（生殖治疗）.

1. This passage is mainly about ______.

A. the causes of people’s bad health throughout the world

B. how to improve people’s health throughout the world

C. premature or preterm births throughout the world

D. Christopher Howson, vice president for global programs at the March of Dimes

2. All of the following are causes of preterm births EXCEPT______.

A. too many deaths of newborn babies

B. poverty

C. Lack of family planning

D. the lack of good prenatal care programs

3.Which of the following is a TRUE statement according to the passage?

A. Preterm birth rates in developing countries are dropping and they are increasing in some developed countries like the US and Canada.

B. The increase in pregnancies among women over age thirty-five and the increase in the use of reproductive therapies result in the increase of preterm birth rates.

C. Fortunately, many people have already realized the seriousness of the problem of preterm births.

D. Preterm births must be a problem for only poor areas because of poverty.

4.Where can we probably read this article?

A. International news reports

B. History and political papers

C. Science magazines

D. World trade guides

Nowadays，people in many big cities are complaining the heavy traffic. It has serious influenced people’s daily life and economic development. To solve the problem，some pieces of advice is put forward. Some people suggest that more streets and roads are built. By this way，the traffic density can be reduced, thus speeding up the flow of buses and cars. Some people advise limit the number of bikes and cars. This can decrease the traffic flow. But on the other hand, this will effect the consumption and makes buses more crowded.

In my opinion，the number of private cars should be put under the control. And at the same time，buses should have their own special routes where cannot be used by other vehicles.
