Sometimes willpower is a lot like the television remote control, hard to find just when you want it most. 【1】 But there are ways to increase your willpower.

Don’t try to change your economic situation，win a promotion and lose weight all on the same morning. Set one clear，specific goal and make a realistic plan to achieve it. Extra willpower sometimes requires extra energy，so don’t spread yourself too thin. 【2】

Whatever your goal is，don’t expect to achieve it overnight. 【3】 If you are trying to kick a coffee habit，start by replacing your morning cup of coffee with a glass of water, instead of promising never to drink coffee again. Congratulate yourself on the small achievements. These successes help your willpower grow.

【4】 Ask friends，family or colleagues for assistance and tell them exactly how they can help. If your credit card bills have risen，for instance，let friends now that you are cutting back on expenses. Suggest having a common dinner instead of meeting at an expensive restaurant. Find support group or organization related to your goal and attend their meeting. You can get valuable advice, understanding and information.

If possible，change your environment to encourage positive behavior. Want to get in shape? Keep a set of workout clothes in your office as a reminder to stop by the gym on the way home. Quitting smoking? 【5】

A. Real success takes time.

B. Focus on one goal at a time.

C. Change your environment to change your life.

D. Improve your willpower by a support network.

E. Changing your behavior requires more than willpower.

F. Avoid bars or restaurants where you might be attracted to light up.

G. Breaking a bad habit or forming a new and healthy one can be difficult.

Mike was one of my father’s younger brother. He has been died of cancer for two years. When I was a teenager, he taught us how to hunt in the woods used the hours before dawn. We usually left home at three o’clock in the morning, stayed in local restaurant for breakfast, and then travel on to one of his hunting destinations. Just after dawn, he would find the right spot in the woods. He would show me how not to make a sound and a movement. Though I never hunted an animal successfully, but I learned to be brave and patiently through the experience.

【题目】语法填空

Once there lived a rich man 【1】_________ wanted to do something for the people of his town. 【2】_________ first he wanted to find out whether they deserved his help.

In the centre of the main road into the town, he placed【3】_________ very large stone. Then he 【4】_________ (hide) behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came along with his cow. “Who put this stone in the centre of the road?” said the old man, but he did not try to remove the stone. Instead, with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way. 【5】_________ man came along and did the same thing; then another came, and another. All of them complained about the stone but not tried to remove 【6】_________. Late in the afternoon a young man came along. He saw the stone, 【7】_________ (say) to himself: “The night 【8】_________ (be) very dark. Some neighbors will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone.”

Then he began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his 【9】_________ (strong) to move it, only 【10】_________ (find) a bag of money under the stone. Imagine how surprised he was!

【题目】When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we wear quite out off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital.

However, I soon discovered that one big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.

Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising — and, what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.

Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is, when you are in your teens(十几岁) or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.

【1】What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?

A. Staying on the farm.

B. Leaving home for the city.

C. Moving to the countryside.

D. Running away from the school.

【2】Which of the following is true about the writer?

A. He lives in the city now.

B. He is in good health.

C. He prefers driving a car.

D. He is very old now.

【3】In the passage, the writer tries to ________.

A. persuade the reader to live in the city

B. describe his life in the countryside

C. show an interest in the outside world

D. express his opinions about way of life

【4】How is the passage mainly developed?

A. By inferring.B. By listing examples.

C. By comparing.D. By discussing.

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.

But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 【1】 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.

For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 【2】

If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 【3】 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.

【4】 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 【5】 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.

It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.

A. It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.

C. Everyone was new to the network once.

D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.

E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.

F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.

G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

【题目】Where do you keep ice? In the freezer, of course. That's what scientists might have thought when they were looking for a safe place to store ice from mountain glaciers from around the world. They’ve decided to store ice in Antarctica because global warming is causing some of the glaciers in places like the Alps to melt.

Jerome Chappellaz of the French National Centre for Scientific Research is involved in creating an ice vault (地下室）there. He says: “We are probably the only scientific community whose sample (样本) is in danger of disappearing from the face of the planet. If you work on rocks or on tree rings, the raw material is still here and will be for many centuries."

And why do scientists need to study ice from the Alps？Ice formed on the top of a mountain is made of snow accumulated over thousands of years. Trapped air bubbles (气泡) contain samples of the atmosphere that existed when that ice was formed. Ice is a record of climate. By examining ice, we know carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher now than in the last three million years. Researchers use this kind of data to build computer models and try to predict what might happen in the future.

The ice vault will be housed in a snow cave at the Concordia Research Station, which is operated by scientists from France and Italy. The ice samples will be sealed in bags and placed 10 meters below the surface at a constant temperature of -50*C. This will put the scientists’ minds at rest. Losing the ice samples would be a disaster, and nobody wants to see a mine of scientific knowledge lost forever in a giant pool.

【1】What is the researchers' purpose of studying ice?

A. To learn about climate.

B. To learn about the Alps.

C. To trap air bubbles.

D. To reduce carbon dioxide.

【2】Jerome compares ice with rocks and tree rings to state that ________.

A. ice should be stored at home

B. it’s more valuable to study ice

C. ice disappears very quickly

D. it's necessary to store ice

【3】What makes Antarctica a safe place to store ice?

A. Its large mountains.

B. Its function as a freezer.

C. The abundant ice samples there.

D. The absence of global warming.

【4】What do scientists think of storing ice in Antarctica?

A. They consider it an easy job.

B. They’re not optimistic about it.

C. They think it will cause disasters.

D. They think it’s a reliable way.
