18．Stephen Glenn is a famous scientist who has made several medical breakthroughs．When （36）Cwhy he was so much more （37）A than the average person，he replied that it all came from an experience（38）B his mom．
At 2，he was trying to （39）B a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he（40）D his hold on the slippery bottle and it fell，spilling（洒） its con1ents all over the kitchen floor!When his mom came in，instead of shouting at him or（41）Ahim a lesson，she said，"Robert，what a great mess you've made I've（42）Cseen such a sea of milk．We1l，now that the（43）Bhas been done，would you please get down and（44）Din the milk for a while（45）Cwe clean it up？"
So happily he did．After that，his mom said，"Robert，whenever you make such a mess like this，you'll have to clean it up and restore （恢复） everything to its proper （46）C．So which do you prefer，a sponge，towel or mop？"He （47）Athe sponge and together they cleaned up the milk．His mom then said，"Robert，you've just had a（48）Dexperiment in how to carry a big milk bottle（49）Awith two tiny hands．Now go to the sink to fil1the bottle with（50）Band see if you can discover a way to carry it safely．"Instantly Robert learned that he could（51）Cit if he grasped the bottle at the（52）Dnear the up with both hands．

16．Even if you really enjoy your job，it's still possible to battle boredom as you work．You may not be able to make big changes---or change your job---but you can make small adjustments to your routine that can make every day seem，well，a little less routine．
1．Switch Your Seat
Change your outlook at the office by changing your office．Ask your supervisor to help you find a new desk．Even switching desks with a neighboring coworker can offer a fresh atmosphere．
If it's not possible to change your location，see if you can change your desk's direction．A new view can be just as refreshing as a new location．
2．____________
Start and end your day in a different way．Consider a new mode of transportation，if it's possible．Take a subway．Ride a bike on sunny days．Carpool with a coworker．Use a new route to get to your job．You needn't change it for ever---just long enough to help you escape the boredom．
3．Find a New Work Style
Sick of attending that long-standing Monday morning meeting？Try to change it to the afternoon．
If you find yourself feeling most bored in the afternoons，try to arrange to do your favorite tasks then and tackle less desirable projects in the mornings．
If you usually communicate with coworkers via email and instant messaging，start dealing with people face to face．Increased communication with coworkers may help improve your mood．
4．Get and Set a Goal
If your work is short of objectives，it's no wonder that work has become boring．Identify a goal and set an"achieve by"date for it．
Your goal needn't be lofty as long as you have sufficient enthusiasm for it．Perhaps you want to make a new project．Maybe you'd like to pursue a promotion．Or you may even set a goal of finding a new job altogether．Whatever it is，actively move toward an objective．

14．As we all know，being successful is closely tied to what your attitude is．Today we are going to look at four common beliefs/attitudes held by many that may affect their being successful in many aspects of their lives．
1．Being Lucky
It is all too often people consider the good fortune of others as being the result of pure luck．What a copout!By having the mindset（思维定势） that luck is something that randomly falls out of the sky，many people put limits on themselves as to what they could have accomplished．
2．Associating Displeasure with Work or Study
Think about how you can perform well in an environment that is boring or unappealing to you．To most failures，I assume your failure is mainly because your heart is not into it and your attitude therefore does not allow you to be at your most productive．
3．      
A commonly accepted belief is：to be successful you MUST devote many hours along with many years．As a matter of fact，long hours and hard work doesn't necessarily mean success．After all，success depends on many factors．
4．Self Imposed Limitations
Many have grown to believe they can not achieve success due to a variety of reasons．In fact it often seems they put more effort into producing reasons as to why they can not succeed than efforts leading to success．
The only limitations we face in our lives are the ones we place upon ourselves． If you are not willing to remove some of these limitations and at least try，you would be content with what you have in life and never possess success．

76．What is the purpose of the writer？（Please answer within 30words．）
The purpose is to inform people of four common beliefs affecting their success and analyze why they are harmful．
77．Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one？
Actually，many people would rather make an excuse for their failures than attempts for their success．
In fact it often seems they put more effort into producing reasons as to why they can't succeed than efforts leading to success．

Long hours and hard work equal success

13．After achieving a 9percent GDP growth，hosting a successful Olympic Games and carrying out its first space walk the year before last，you'd think China would be happy．_____．That，at least，is the opinion of a new book written by a group of Chinese authors．
China Is Not Happy was published in March，2009．It is a follow-up to the 1996 work China Can Say No，a bestseller that complained about the influence of the West，and the US in particular，on China．Thirteen years later，the authors of China Is Not Happy list their dissatisfaction with how China is being treated in the world today．
They argue that China needs to use its growing power and economic resources to build its own position of preeminence （卓越）．"From looking at the history of human civilization，we are most qualified to lead this world．"the book says．
The authors，single out the US for special scorn （轻蔑）．"The economic problem has shown the Chinese people that America does have problems，that what we've been saying is right，"said one of the authors．
The book has become a bestseller in many Chinese bookstores．Yet much of the response to the book has been negative．Several reviews in the Chinese media have criticized the book's radical （激进的） opinions．The book is a way to"fish money from the pockets of the angry youth and angry elderly，"wrote one critic in the China Youth Daily．Meanwhile，a well-known sociologist，Li Yinhe，has said that China needs patriotism （爱国主义），but there is a limit．In her blog she wrote，"If we are to bully （欺负） other countries，take the world's resources and try to lead it，we're going over the top．"

12．For years children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities to see the beauties of the countryside．Not that the woods and fields were always far away，but they were too far from the city to permit people to make a round trip between morning and nightfall．．What's more，factory workers did not have enough money to send their children on country holidays away from home．
In 1907a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs．He decided to turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays．Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small amount of money．The idea was a success．A few years later the schoolhouse was far too small to hold so many young people who wanted to stay there．So，a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby．This was the first Youth Hostel．
Today young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostels and get to know each other．Some spend a week or more in the same hostel，seeing the surrounding sights and meeting the people of the area．Other youths go on foot or by bicycle from place to place，spending a night or two in one hostel，then going to the next．
Sometimes an informal program will be organized after the meal，with dances，songs，or short talks followed by a question period．One can  _______ about other places，just by meeting people who come from these places．For this reason，a few weeks spent"hostelling"can be just as useful a part of one's education as classes in school．

11．The  success  of  a  speech  is  often due to the  skill  of the  speaker  who  is  confident，knowledgeable and able to deliver a speech clearly and effectively．
But often it is not the speakers who write these moving speeches；it is a speechwriter．And polities is one industry in which this practise is common．．So what does it take to be a political speechwriter？
According to a recent job  advertisement from the  US Embassy in  Britain，a political speechwriter needs to have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to demonstrate a deep  knowledge of their subject．They must also work closely with speakers and be able to relate  to the speakers'style．
Some believe that the best speechwriters have a-born talent，a natural creative ability，and that speechwriting is an art．
What  about  those  of us  who  ______？Can we  still produce  successful  speeches？
In an interview with the BBC，Dr Atkinson（a communications specialist）outlined a
number of speechwriting techniques．He also explained how the．se techniques have been used in historic speeches．
One such technique is introducing contrast（对比）．This is extremely useful when presenting a positive influence on a negative issue．One of the most famous examples of this can be seen in a speech given by former American President John Kennedy："Ask not what your country can do for you，but what you can do for your country．"
Another technique is the use of three-part lists．Dr Atkinson explains that this can be  an excellent way of confirming a statement．Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair was a fan of this technique．One of his most famous campaign Slogans（口号）was"education，education，education"．

10．Cell phones are everywhere-everywhere except Aztec High School．
A new policy put in place at the beginning of the school year by the Aztec School Board forbade cell phones from the school's campus．
"They are interrupting the educational process，"said Kirk Carpenter，the Aztec High School headmaster．"There is no educational benefit from having them here．"
The new policy started recently afrer long discussions between school and district managers．Aztec school officials said that cell phone use had become a problem during testing sessions．
Carpenter said，"There are also a lot of issues with cell phones．The bottom line（问题的关键） is that they are not in line with what we are trying to do bere，which is providing an education for our students．"
Although the headmaster has heard of no serious objections to the new rule，the complaint he hears most often is parents'being concerned about contacting students directly in case of an emergency．
"That actually slows down the process，"said Carpenter．"If a parent calls a student's cell phone，it still needs to go through the office．We can't just let the student leave school．We don't know who is on the line．They will still need to call the office to get their children free to leave．"
"If you need to contact a student，you can     and they will give a message to the student．It still works well，"he added．
Aztec official Linda Paul said，although she never imagined the effect cell phones would have on education，she supports the decision made by the school．Paul added that AHS is not the only campus in the district to have taken such measures．
Cell phone use for teachers，of course，is a different matter．"We hope our teachers know enough not to be on the phone during class，"Paul said．"I have never seen one of my teachers on the phone during class．"

9．[1]I was walking in the park with a friend recently，and his cell phone rang，interrupting our conversation．There we were，walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day．But I became in visible，absent from the conversation．
[2]The telephone used to connect you to the absent．Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent．Recently I was in a car with three friends．The driver told us to be quiet because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone．There we were，four friends going down the highway，unable to talk to one another because of a tool designed to make communication easier．

[4]More and more．l find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation．Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn't really have time to talk．The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier．
[5]So I've put myself on technology restriction：no instant messaging with people who live near me，no cell-phoning in the presence of friends，no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm home．
