Believe it or not, the ability to choose is the power to change. If you can choose to live your life differently, will you be the same person?

Well, choosing to do the following few “simple” things will help to change your life.

Review your life. Take time to go through your life and ask yourself, “If I do the same thing I do every day, will there be a change? If I want to change, where will my first step be?”

Make careful choices. Choose exactly what you wish to get to live your life; describe and think what you really want.

Keep up with chances. Find out about the possibilities and ways that can make you move toward your goals, write them down and see which one suits you most.

Get down to business. Start working on your goals. People may bring you down; you may have difficulties; you will fail and want to give up. But the most important thing is never to give up.

If you try these “simple” things, you will find that success is something for everyone, and you will finally become what you want to be. Remember, success is more than what you hold in your hands; it is something from the heart.

It was an extremely hot day. My younger brother Walt and I had decided to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr. Blickez’s farm and through some woods, because it would be the only way to cool ourselves down.

The only problem with our plan was that this farm was guarded by a huge mean (凶暴的) Hereford bull (公牛). Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in town, maybe even in the county and we believed in him. But the hotter it got, the more we thought there was something fishy about what he said. For one thing, we remembered Mr. Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another, Elsie seemed like a strange name for a bull. Finally, I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the farm, and Mr. Blickez agreed.

On our way across the farm, we stopped at the fence to admire the swimming hole. The sun shone brightly across the cool waters. We couldn’t wait to get there. Suddenly, Walt shouted loudly. Elsie had run to him and was licking (舔) his back. I immediately hid under the fence. However, when I looked up, I saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull at all. She was just a friendly young cow, and she was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still.

When we discovered the truth, we were so happy. We then ran to the swimming hole and jumped in. The water was just as wonderful as we had dreamed. After that day, we had many good days and we often visited our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”. .

A. They didn’t know where to swim.

B. They didn’t know how to get to the stream.

C. Their mother didn’t want them to swim.

D. They had to face a very mean bull.

3.When Elsie saw the author’s brother, she _______.

A. tried to attack him B. showed her friendliness

C. immediately ran away D. tried to drive him away

4.What’s the passage mainly about?

A. The bull guarding Mr.Blickez’s farm.

B. How friendly the so-called mean bull was.

C. The story of visiting the swimming hole.

D. How the author changed his attitude to Joanie.

Hundreds of years ago，a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.

One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,” he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”

A HOLIDAY jet pilot (飞行员) said that he would land and call the police after a woman refused to stop smoking.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出最佳选项。

Scientific experiments can sometimes go wrong and when they do the results may range from the disastrous to the troubling. One such experiment took place in South America about fifty years ago. Whether its final consequences will cause serious damage or nothing more than a small trouble still remains to be seen.

The story began in 1956 when an American scientist working in Brazil decided to solve the problem of increasing the productivity of that country's bees. He imported a very active type of African bee from Tanzania and mated (交配) it with the more easy-going native variety to produce a new kind of bees. The new bees worked harder and produced twice as much honey. It seemed that Professor Kerr, for that was the scientist's name, had a total success on his hands.

Then things began to go wrong. For some reason as yet unseen, but perhaps as a result of something in their environment, the new bees began to develop extremely attacking personalities. They became bad-tempered and easy to be angry, attacked the native bees and drove them from their living places.

But worse was to follow. Having taken over the countryside, the new bees, with their dangerous stings (叮) , began to attack its neighbors -- cats, dogs, horses, chickens and finally man himself. A long period of terror began that has so far killed a great number of animals and about 150 human beings.

This would have been bad enough if the bees had stayed in Brazil. But now they are on the move, heading northwards in countless millions towards Central and North America, and moving at the alarming speed of 200 miles a year. The countries that lie in their path are naturally worried because it looks as if nothing can be done to stop them.

1.The results of the South American experiment .

A. have caused a serious trouble

B. have proved to be wrong

C. are highly thought of

D. are not yet certain

2.The experiment mentioned in this passage was designed to .

A. increase the amount of honey in Brazil

B. make Brazilian bees more easy-going

C. increase the number of bees in Brazil

D. make African bees less active

3.Which of the following may be the cause of the new bees' attacking personalities?

A. Their production of honey. B. Their hard work.

C. Their living environment. D. Their bad temper.

4.The last paragraph implies that .

A. the bees have been driven to Central and North America

B. the bees may bring about trouble in more countries

C. the bees must be stopped from moving north

D. the bees prefer to live in Brazil
