14.We often talk about ourselves as if we have genetic(基因的) defects(缺陷) that can never be changed."I'm impatient.""I'm always behind.""I always put things (41)C!"You've surely heard them.Maybe you've used them to describe (42)A.
These comments may come from stories about us that have been (43)Bfor years-often from (44)D childhood.These stories may have no (45)D in fact.But they can set low expectations for us.As a child,my mother said to me,"Marshall,you have no mechanical (操作机械的) skills,and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life."How did these expectations  (46)B my development?I was never (47)Cto work on cars or be around  (48)_A.When I was 18,I took the US Army's Mechanical Aptitude Test.My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later,(49)C_,I was at California University,working on my doctor's degree.One of my professors,Dr.Bob Tannbaum,asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn't do.For my strong points,I(50)A down,"research,writing,analysis,and speaking."For the (51)B,I wrote,"I have no mechanical skills."
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills.I explained my life  (52)C  and told him about my (53)D performance on the Army test.Bob then asked,"(54)A   is it that you can solve (55)C  mathematical problems,but you can't solve easy mechanical problems?"
Suddenly I realized that I didn't (56)B from some sort of genetic defect.I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to (57)C.At that point,it wasn't just my family and friends who had been  (58)Amy belief that I was mechanically hopeless.And it wasn't just the Army test,either.I was the one who kept telling myself,"You can't do this!"I realized that as long as I kept saying that,it was going to remain true.(59)C,if we don't treat ourselves as if we have genetic defects that we can never get over,we can do well in almost (60)B  we choose.

10.Walking in daffodils (水仙花) on her farm in Camden,US,Roxane Daniel greets different kinds of the flower by name as if they're dear friends.
"That's Professor Einstein,"says Daniel,72,as she reaches down to pick an orange daffodil."There are Golden Dawn and Early Cheer,and over there is Fortune,one of my favorites."
 Each spring Daniel's fields are covered with 3 million daffodils,which include more than a thousand kinds.
"I am a painter and live on a hill and always thought how wonderful it would be to look out and see a lot of colors,"says Daniel,who began planting daffodils on her farm during the 1960s.
 Daniel always welcomes visitors who pose against the beautiful flowers for their photos.
 Nineteen years ago,when money was needed to repair the railroad station in Camden,Daniel got an idea.The idea has developed into the Camden Daffodil Festival organized by the town.It attracts several thousand visitors each March and keeps the town lively all year around.
"The station needed repairing,and I had given all the money we could afford to give,"says Daniel."It was March,and our daffodils were in blossom.My friend and I were standing in my front yard and I said,‘If this was for charity,do you think that people would pay to see these flowers?'"
 Daniel painted a poster,which volunteers displayed at local churches and businesses,inviting flower lovers to her farm.
 Each spring,more and more people attend the festival,along with the daffodils and attractions.Visitors get on buses to tour several flower gardens and historic homes.Other festival attractions include an art show and story-telling.
 Money from the Daffodil Festival is used to support projects of the Historical Society,and downtown wall paintings,benches and flower boxes.
"Because of Roxane's idea and her interest in her community,the festival has an important part to play here,"says Sammie Briery,68,who has 1,400 daffodils in her own front yard."The whole town has been caught up in the fun and excitement of having so many visitors."

9.Anna Schiferl hadn't even got out of bed when she reached for her cell phone and typed a text to her mum,one recent Saturday.Mom was right downstairs in the kitchen.The text?Anna wanted an egg for breakfast.Soon after,Joanna Schiferl called,"If you want to talk to me,Anna,come downstairs and see me?"Anna laughs about it now."I was kind of being lazy,"she admits.
    These days,many people with cell phones prefer texting to a phone call.And that's creating a communication divide-the talker vs.the texters.Some would argue that it's no big deal.But many experts say the most successful communicators will,of course,have the competence to do both.And they fear that more of us are unable to have-or at least are avoiding-the traditional face-to-face conversations.
    Many professors say it is not common to see students outside of class."I sit in my office hours lonely now because if my students have a question,they email me,often late at night,"says Rence Hosuton,a professor at the University of Puget Sound in Washington state."And they never call."
    As Anna sees it:"There are people you'll text,but won't call.It's just a way to stay in touch with each other."Some believe that scores of texts each day keep people more connected."The problem is that conversation is not very deep,"says Joseph Grenny,co-author of the book Cultural Conversations:Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High.
"The problem has been there since we've had telephones-probably since the time of a telegraph,"Grenny says.Texting is just the latest way to do that.Though they may not always be so good at deep conversations themselves,Grenny suggests that parents model the behavior for their children and put down their own cell phones.He says that they also should set limits,as Anna's mom did when she made the"no texting to people in the same house"rule.

A.was very strict with her daughter            
B.did not know how to use a cell phone
C.was angry that her daughter got up late

D.Many email her if she feels lonely.
30.In Joseph Grenny's opinion,D.
A.cell phone makes people lonelier
B.telephone help people communicate clearly
C.texting helps people have deeper conversations
D.talking should be encouraged instead of texting
31.What is the main idea of the text?C
A.It tells us a wonderful experience of Anna Schiferl.
B.It introduces a new tool used for communication.
C.It discusses the problem caused by sending texts.
D.It talks about the important role of phones in our life.

Dear Sir,
I'm writing to become one of the host family of the British students.
We have a large and clean house,where lies in the center of the city.I can speak English fluent and my parents are both English teachers.Therefore,we won't have any difficulty communicate with English speakers.My father is an excellent driver but we can show foreign students around some places of interest in our own car.Last month we received two American students.We had a great fun together.Besides,my mother cooked well,so the students will be able to enjoy delicious Chinese food.I would greatly appreciate if I could have the opportunity to make friends with you.
I'm looking forward to hearing about you.
                                                                    Yours,
                                                                     Li Hua.
