17.Four Habits to Help You Succeed
We all want to succeed,whether it's in losing weight or learning the guitar.For those who have tried and failed,success seems difficult to understand.Why does one person succeed while another person fails?(36)E
1.Identify your core(核心)values.
Finding your core values is in line with creating inner motivation.(37)C Pick a handful of things and actually write them down.Remind yourself of your values every day,and reflect on whether you are honoring those values through your work.
2.Pick a goal and focus on it.
Choose one goal to start something large enough that will give you a sense of accomplishment,while adjusting well to your core values.Focus is key here.(38)F If you perform many tasks at a time,you might never complete your projects because they will take far too long.
3.Set a deadline for success.
Set a date for success.Identify when you hope to achieve your goal.(39)D By setting a time limit,you are making the process more real.
4.(40)A
Failure can't be avoided when you take risks.By its very definition,the desire to succeed means you are risking failure.Many people tend to give up far too early.Don't fall into this trap!Remember your mindset earlier.Know it will happen.A failure is merely you working out the details,and learning what works and what doesn't.Use failure.Treat it as a good thing,and march on!

A.Stick to your goal.
B.Make the right decision.
C.Sit and reflect on what you value most.
D.Keep it realistic,while not giving you too much time.
E.I've made a list of four habits to help you set goals and achieve them.
F.The more focused you are on one goal,the higher chance you have of success.
G.Push yourself to be courageous,and take that next step.
14.There is a kind of guys you'd rather hate and Kevin is among them.He is always in a good mood and always has something (41)C to say.When asked how he was doing,he would reply,"If I were any better,I'd be twins!"He was a natural (42)D.
One day I asked him how he did it.Kevin replied,"Each morning I say to myself,‘Kevin,you have two choices today.You can choose to be in a good mood or in a bad mood.'I choose to be in a good mood.Each time something bad (43)A,I can choose to be a (an)(44)B or to learn from it.I choose to learn from it."
"It isn't that (45)D."I protested.
"Yes it is,"Kevin said."Life is all about(46)A.You choose how you (47)B to situations.You choose to be in a good mood or a bad mood.The(48)A line is:You're your choice how you live life."
Several years later,Kevin was (49)D in a serious accident,(50)Boff 60feet from a communication tower.I saw him when he was (51)C from the hospital with rods placed in his back.I asked him what had (52)B his mind as the accident took place."It was the (53)D of my soon-to-born daughter,"Kevin replied."Then,I remembered I had two choices:I could choose to live or I could choose to die.I chose to live."
"Weren't you scared?"
"The doctors and nurses were great.They kept telling me I was going to be (54)A.But when they (55)D me into the operation room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses,I got (56)C scared.In their eyes,l read‘He's a(57)B man.'I knew I needed to take action.When one nurse asked me shouting if I was (58)A to anything and waited for my reply,I took a deep breath and yelled,‘Gravity.'
Over their laughter,I told them,‘I'm choosing to live.Operate on me as if I am alive,not dead.'"
Kevin lived.I learned from him that every day we have a choice to live (59)D.Attitude is (60)C.

Psychology is both an applied and academic field that studies the human mind and behavior.Research in psychology seeks to understand and explain how we think,act and feel.As most people already realize,a large part of psychology is devoted to the (41)E and treatment of mental health issues,but that's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to applications for psychology.In addition to mental health,psychology can be applied to a variety of issues that  (42)J health and daily life including performance enhancement,self-help,motivation,productivity,and much more.
Psychology(43)H out of both philosophy and biology.Discussions of these two subjects date as far back as the early Greek thinkers including Aristotle and Socrates.The word psychology comes from the Greek word psyche,literally meaning"life"or"breath."The (44)Gof psychology as a separate and independent field of study truly came about when Wilhelm Wundt established the first experimental psychology lab in Leipzig,Germany in 1879.Wundt's work was (45)I on describing the structures that compose the mind.Wundt believed that properly trained individuals would be able to identify accurately the mental processes that (46)B feelings,sensations and thoughts.
Throughout psychology's history,some different schools of thought have formed to explain human thought and behavior.These schools of thought often rise to(47)F for a period.While these schools of thought are sometimes considered as competing forces,each viewpoint has  (48)D to our understanding of psychology.
Today,psychologists prefer to use more objective scientific methods to understand,explain,and predict human behavior.The discipline has two major areas of focus:(49)A psychology and applied psychology.Educational psychology focuses on the study of different sub-topics within psychology including personality,social behavior,and human development.These psychologists(50)C basic research that seeks to expand our theoretical knowledge while other researchers do applied research that attempts to solve everyday problems.
12.High school can be quite the stressful time for any student.There are numerous stresses to deal with and the pressure can be more intense as you enter your senior year.(36)FThe answer is as follows.
(37)C Adjust your approach to your specific situation.For instance,if you're active in your community and your school and have a large family,you may feel depressed by having all these people involved in your life on a daily basis.(38)EYou just may need a moment to be alone and collect your thoughts before moving on to the challenges that face you.
(39)AIf your stress persists and you can't figure out a way to handle it,you may want to try speaking to your school counselor(顾问).If you don't feel comfortable speaking to your counselor,try getting some other types of counseling.
Realize your limits,and plan around them.Don't take on more than you can handle.If you take on too many things,you will be spread too thin and won't be able to perform at your best in anything.(40)GYou will definitely feel more at ease!

A.Seek professional counseling.
B.Why does the stress come into being?
C.Try thinking of alternative ways to deal with stress.
D.When you feel relieved,you can have a happier life.
E.Taking some time out to be alone may be the best way to handle such stress.
F.But how on earth can you reduce some of the stress?
G.Evaluate what tasks and activities are most important and leave others behind.
11.It's natural to feel some stress about taking tests.In fact,sometimes a little stress is a good thing.Here are some tips:
(36)C
Your memory will be much better if you've had enough rest.In a scientific study,people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying.
Read the test through first.
Once you have the test paper in front of you,read over the entire test,checking out how long it is and all the parts you are expected to complete.This will allow you to estimate how much time you have for each section and ask the teacher any questions.(37)E
Focus on addressing each question individually.
As you take the test,if you don't know an answer,don't obsess(缠住) over it.(38)A Come back to it after you've answered other questions.
Relax.
(39)F Of course you can't get up and move around in the middle of a test,but you can wiggle(摇摆)your fingers and toes,take four or five deep breaths,or picture yourself on a beach or some other calm places.
Finished already?
Although most teachers will let you hand a test in early,it's usually a good idea to spend any extra time checking over your work.(40)G_On the other hand,if you have 5minutes until the bell rings and you're still writing,wind up whatever you're working on without panicking.

A.Instead,skip over the question.
B.Listen closely to any instructions.
C.Get enough sleep the night before the test.
D.But some can get serious test-taking terror.
E.If something seems unclear before you start,don't panic:ask.
F.If you're so nervous that you blank out,you might need a mini-break.
G.You can also add details that you may not have thought you'd have time for.
10.The White House has announced plans to allow visitors to take photos and use social
media during public tours of the building for the first time in 40years.In previous years,the public was banned from taking photographs with camera phones inside 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue.However,visitors will now have the chance of taking the perfect
selfie(自拍)as long as it's nor with a selfie stick at the White House,since the ban has been abolished,First Lady Michelle Obama made the announcement about the change of policy in a video posted to her Twitter account."If you've been on a White House tour,chances are that you may have seen this sign,"she said holding up a piece of paper."Well,not any more,"she said smiling as she tore the sign apart,which had been displayed during tour hours.
The White House said in a statement,"Guests are now welcome to take photos
throughout the White House tour route and keep those memories for a lifetime."The
long-standing ban ends on July 1st,and from that point on guests will be able to start using camera phones.
Embracing the increasing importance of social media,the White House is even encouraging people who pay a visit to the house to share their experiences on Twitter using
the tag"White House Tour".Official guidelines state that guests will be able to use phone cameras with a lens(镜头)of three inches or less.
But the White House warns that visitors must ensure that their photography doesn't
interrupt the enjoyment of other guests on the tour.While it gives no specific reason for the sudden change,there are still a few things that guests are not permitted to do.For instance,video cameras,including iPads and camera sticks,are not allowed for the moment.
21.Which of the following will be allowed for photography in the White House?A
A.Camera phones.B.Four-inch lenses.C.Selfie sticks.D.iPads.
22.We can learn from the passage thatD
A.the photo ban in the White House annoyed visitors
B.the first lady plays a key role in changing the policy
C.visitors can take photos in the White House as they like
D.the sign corn apart by Michelle Obama read"NO PHOTOS"
23.Where can we most probably read the passage?C
A.In a travel guide,
B,In a government report.
C.In a newspaper.
D.In a photography magazine.
9.The health-care economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships.One of the least understood involves the peculiar roles of producer or"provider"and purchaser or"consumer"in the typical doctor-patient relationship.In most sectors of the economy,it is the seller who attempts to attract a potential buyer with various appealing factors of price,quality,and use,and it is the buyer who makes the decision.Such condition,however,is not common in most of the health-care industry.
In the health-care industry,the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the ordinary relationship between producer and consumer.Once an individual has chosen to see a physician-and even then there may be no real choice-it is the physician who usually makes all significant purchasing decisions:whether the patient should return"next Wednesday",whether X-rays are needed,whether drugs should be prescribed,etc.It is rare that a patient will challenge such professional decisions or raise in advance questions about price,especially when the disease is regarded as serious.
This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care.The physician must certify the need for hospitalization,determine what procedures will be performed,and announce when the patient may be discharged.The patient may be consulted about some of the decisions,but in general it is the doctor's judgments that are fi nal.Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real"consumer".As a consequence,the med ical staff represents the"power center"in hospital policy and decision-making,not the administration.
Although usually there are in this situation four identifiable participants-the physician,the hospital,the patient,and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government)-the physician makes the essential decisions for all of them.The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally meets most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital,and for the most part the patient plays a passive role.We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care choices are determined by physicians,not patients.For this reason,the economy directed at patients or the general is relatively ineffective.
 
28.The author's prim ary purpose in writing this passage is toD.
A.urge hospitals to reclaim their decision-making authority
B.inform potential patients of their health-care rights
C.criticize doctors for exercising too much control over patients
D.analyze some important economic factors in health-care
29.It can be inferred that doctors are able to determine hospital policies becauseB.
A.most of patient's bills are paid by his health insurance
B.it is doctors who generate income for the hospital
C.some patients might refuse to take their physician's advice
D.a doctor is ultimately responsible for a patient's health
30.According to the author,when a doctor tells a patient to"return next Wednesday",the doctor is in factC.
A.advising the patient to seek a second opinion
B.warning the patient that a hospital stay might be necessary
C.instructing the patient to buy more medical services
D.admitting that the first visit was ineffective
31.The author is most probably leading up toA.
A.a proposal to control medical costs
B.a study of lawsuits against doctors for malpractice
C.an analysis of the cause of inflation (通货膨胀) in the US
D.a discussion of a new medical treatment.
8.Faraway,huge and shaped over thousands of years by the seas and glaciers,Norway's breathtaking natural scenery leaves many visitors in awe (惊叹).
Adding to its appeal is the fact that the country has once again been selected as the best place in the world to live for health and social prosperity (繁荣).This has been true for 12years in a row,according to the United Nations'2015Human Development Index (指数),released on Dec 14.
"Its outdoor lifestyle,which makes the most of the mountains and fjords (峡湾),undoubtedly plays a key role in the country's health,"said The Independent newspaper.
In the summer,Norwegians go hiking,camping,picnicking and fishing.In the winter,it's time to play in the snow.As The Telegraph newspaper noted,"Many Norwegians grow up on the slopes and can ski like professional athletes."
The Norwegian diet is another factor in Norwegians'good health.A typical homemade meal is low in sugar,fat and salt,and is usually made up of fish,meat,potatoes,berries,whole-grain bread and vegetables."Dining out is relatively uncommon,"Women's Health magazine noted."There is not a big fast-food culture and there are no ready meals."
Even though fast food restaurants have been set up in the country,to discourage unhealthy eating,the government has put higher duties on fast food and soft drinks since 1981.
The mentality (心理) of the Norwegian people has also played an essential role in the country's health and social success.The Danish-Norwegian novelist Aksel Sandemose once wrote down the Law of Jante,which shows important ideas in Norwegian culture:modesty (谦虚),collectivity and social equality.Overall,the law suggests that no one is better than another person,and that people should not brag about  their achievements.

4.What is the article mainly about?C
A.Norwegian people's outdoor lifestyle.
B.The breathtaking natural scenery in Norway.
C.Factors that play a part in Norwegians'health.

5.It can be concluded from the article thatB.
A.Skiing and going hiking are very popular activities in Norway in the winter
B.Norwegians attach a lot of importance to the ideas of modesty and social equality
C.Due to the country's fast food culture,Norwegians prefer eating out to cooking at home
D.To promote healthy eating,the Norwegian government shut down a lot of fast food restaurants
