【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
What is success? I am not going to try to explain success. I think a precise meaning is impossible! Is it winning a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon, or being awarded a Nobel Prize? What else? I believe personal success could be anything at all- it does not have to involve public recognition. Who is more successful? A millionaire who is unhappy, or an unnoticed person, who has led a simple, quiet, sincere and happy life? The simplest definition of success, I think, is “to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it.
The first step on the road to success starts with belief. Believe you can succeed and you will. Achieving success in whatever endeavor(努力)you choose may be the goal of life; because it gives you freedom from worry. Could that be?
Success means different things to every one of us. Some people believe it is measured in financial term; others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves. However, most people are motivated to a great extend by public recognition. How many people are really happy? How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives? Incidentally, to imagine makes us different from animals.
Most important of all, I believe success is a matter of personal growth. If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter, I believe one is successful. Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success. I've got a very long way to go them!
Finally, always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination. It's the journey that really matters. Success is what you become in the often very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.
（1）What is personal success according to the author?
A.Winning public recognition
B.Being an unhappy millionaire
C.Something impossible to define simply
D.Succeeding in doing what you want
（2）Which plays an important role in your success?
A.Intelligence
B.Confidence
C.Wealth
D.Kindness
（3）According to he text, humans are different from animals in_______.
A.belief
B.freedom
C.imagination
D.success
（4）What can be the best title for the text?
A.What is success
B.No true success
C.How to be successful
D.Success is reaching a destination

Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word cold. For centuries, the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold –blooded. Cold –blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do cruel things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill with no emotion.
Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression—to get cold feet –that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have given up the position. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant, cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise. He was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.
（1）The text is intended to tell us that_____.
A.cold weather has a great effect on human bodies.
B.many English expressions contain the word cold.
C.cold is a word all used to describe human emotions.
D.the word cold has many different meanings in English.
（2）Which of the following can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others?
A.Cold-blooded.
B.To get cold feet.
C.A cold shoulder.
D.A cold fish.
（3）If a teacher gives all the boys except Tom a pen as a prize, you can say Tom________.
A.is given the cold shoulder.
B.is punished by a cold fish.
C.is left out in the cold.
D.has got cold feet.

【题目】In 1977, a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a 19-month-old baby in a most 【1】(usual) way. The author was Agatha Christie, one of the most successful writers of detective stories in the world.

In June that year, a baby girl became 【2】(serious) ill in Qatar, near Saudi Arabia. Doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness with 【3】(confident), so she was sent to big hospital in London 【4】specialist help was available. A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only 【5】(discover) that they, too, were confused by the very unusual disease. Just then, a nurse asked to speak to them.

"Excuse me," said the nurse, "【6】 I think the baby is suffering from thallium(铊) poisoning. "

"What makes you think that?" Dr. Brown asked. "Thallium poisoning is extremely rare."

"I read a detective novel 【7】 Agatha Christie a few days ago,” the nurse explained, "and in the book, somebody suffers from thallium poisoning, and all the symptoms 【8】(describe). They’re exactly 【9】 same as the baby's."

The tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium, a rare metallic substance【10】 (use) in making special glass. Once they knew the cause of the illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. She soon recovered and was sent back home.

【题目】"Sorry,but I don't agree with you ..."This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears.I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone,because I don't want to lose a friend.I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me,because my ego（自尊心）is hurt.

Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me,my usual response would be,"If you aren't able to see my point of view,then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration,either."But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me,sometimes she is simply saying,"I don't agree with the way things are done."She still respects me as a person,and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter.However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth.That's when need to listen to what she says.

I've learned that one way to help my friend is for me to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully.While we can't control how a person will respond to our views,we must learn to disagree with our friends in love.We will never feel that we are better than the other person.And that will help us to be less emotional,and more objective in the way we express our opinions.In the same way,we can also stay open to feedback（反馈）from others,knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.

Good friendships build each other up,sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions.Though I don't like being disagreed with,I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements.

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
Food picked up just a few seconds after being dropped is less likely to contain bacteria than if it is left for longer periods of time, according to the findings of research carried out at Aston University's School of Life and Health Sciences. The findings suggest there may be some scientific basis of the "5-second rule" — the belief about it being fine to eat food that has only had contact with the floor for five seconds or less. Although people have long followed the ‘5-second rule', until now it was unclear whether it actually helped.
The study, undertaken by final year Biology students and led by Anthony Hilton, Professor of Microbiology at Aston University, monitored the transfer of the common bacteria from a variety of indoor floor types as carpet, cement floor to toast, pasta, biscuit and a sticky sweet when contact was made from 3 to 30 seconds. The results showed that: time is a significant factor in the transfer of bacteria from a floor surface to a piece of food, and the type of flooring the food has been dropped on has an effect, with bacteria least likely to transfer from carpeted surfaces and most likely to transfer from cement flooring surfaces to moist foods making contact for more than 5 seconds. Professor Hilton said, "Consuming food dropped on the floor still carries an infection risk as it very much depends on which bacteria are present on the floor at the time."
The Aston team also carried out a survey of the number of people who employ the ‘five-second rule'. The survey showed that: 87% of the people surveyed said they would eat food dropped on the floor, or already have done so. 55% of those that would, or have eaten food dropped on the floor are women. 81% of the women who would eat food from the floor would follow the ‘5-second rule'. Professor Hilton added, "Our study showed that a surprisingly large majority of people are happy to consume dropped food, with women the most likely to do so. But they are also more likely to follow the ‘5-second rule, which our research has shown to be much than an old wives' tale."
（1）According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A.A toast dropped on the carpet is easier to be polluted than that dropped on the cement floor.
B.A sticky chocolate dropped on the carpet is easier to be polluted than that dropped on the cement floor.
C.The food dropped on the carpet shares the same potential of being polluted with the food dropped on the cement floor.
D.The food dropped on the cement floor is not as safe as food dropped on the carpet within 30 seconds.
（2）What is the passage probably developed?
A.Contrast
B.Example
C.Time
D.Space
（3）How did Professor Hilton feel after analyzing how many people chose to eat dropped food?
A.Puzzled.
B.Upset.
C.Satisfied.
D.Astonished.
（4）What is the main idea of this passage?
A.The food which is dropped on the floor can be eaten safely.
B.A research on the safety of food dropped on the floor is undertaken.
C.The bacteria have no negative effect on the safety of food.
D.People surveyed in the research are willing to accept the idea.

【题目】根据短文内容的理解，选择正确答案。 When Joshua Blue, a head teacher at the Kennedy, hosts a lecture for his students, he wears a light violet-colored tie. "You don't want so many bright colors that the kids will get distracted," said Blue. Colors give off very specific signals, and different tie colors stand for very different impacts. Wondering what color tie to wear to your next meeting? Here's how to choose the perfect color tie for every occasion:
All powerful reds
It's not a coincidence（巧合） that many politicians wear red-colored ties with light shirts and darker suits. "Red is the powerful color," said Mark Woodman, a trend analyst who studies color in Laurel, Maryland. "There's something about red that always comes back to strength and passion." But the tone of your reds matters, too. Darker reds can help build trust, while lighter red and pink ties can be more of a statement about your personal style and be associated with creativity. When you want to convey a sense of ambition, consider a shiny red.
Royal purples
Ross Znavor, an executive in financial services in New York, wears purple ties rather than red to business meetings because the color shows a bit of self-confidence and helps him create lasting first impressions. Purple, traditionally a sign of royalty and wealth is becoming more acceptable in the workplace.
Black affairs
"While you might not wear them to meetings on a regular basis, wearing black ties to a cocktail party or even a dinner is unique and attractive," said Zyla. But remember: the formal black color can feel aggressive in many situations. "Avoid it if you are a green-hand at work," Zyla said.
Right blues
Afraid of sending the wrong message with your tie color? Consider blue as the all-purpose tie. Blue ties are a good investment because the color reminds people of the sky and ocean. "Blue is the safest color to wear," Lindsay said.
（1）Why do many politicians prefer red-colored ties?
A.Because they often wear light shirts and darker suits.
B.Because they want to get promoted.
C.Because red is related to strength and passion.
D.Because red gets their message across easily.
（2）Who will probably choose the purple ties?
A.Politicians.
B.Businessmen.
C.Artists.
D.Head teachers.
（3）What color tie will you consider if you are a green-hand at work?
A.Red.
B.Purple.
C.Black.
D.Blue.
