Life is the greatest teacher

There always comes a moment when I wonder where I will end up and this moment always serves as a strong motivation for me to learn a life lesson. I've learned a great many things, but these are the lessons that I wish I'd learned earlier:

61. _________

There was a time when everyone's opinion was mine as well. Whatever preferences I formerly held were dashed in the face of another's. This most likely came from a need to please others. Remember that your opinion matters just as much as the next guy's, whether they make more money than you or are less popular than you. Everyone's opinion holds the same weight.

62. _________

Drama, chaos, and emotional unrest — these were what took up most of my time as a teenager. If I had heard someone said bad things behind my back, I'd be angry. Go crazy. Looking back on those tantrums(发怒) now, I'm not too surprised. After all, when you have little self control, anything is possible. The lessons here is, remain aware of how you react.

63. _________

Will one small quarrel among friends decide the fate of the entire universe? In my world it felt like it. I just wanted so much to be right and for them so much to be wrong. But in the end, it only resulted in me wasting my time and in the other person storming off in frustration. Is there really a point to arguing? Unless it's absolutely necessary, I've learned that it's better to hold your breath on things you can't control at all. Arguing to change someone's mind is one of them.

64. _________

I'm not saying every parent wants what's best for you (there are outliers), but in general, parents do what they do for you in your best interest. My parents used to make me do the dishes, cook dinner, sweep the floors, mow the lawn, take out the garbage… the list goes on and on. And at every turn, I'd whine and complain. I'd eventually end up doing it. Now, I honestly see the value in having learned those skills. I can efficiently cook and clean up after myself.

65. _________

Whenever I’d lose a friend, get an awful grade, or disappoint my parents, I stewed in my own muck. Waiting for the bad moments to go away seemed to be the only solution. Fortunately, I know now that you don’t have to be stuck in bad situations. You can go out and create better ones. It all depends on perspective; on how you see the situation. Viewing everything as a learning experience makes life more pleasurable, even during the hard times. You aren't stuck. You can move on.

I'm glad to have learned these lessons the way I did. Each experience helped shape me to become a better person. I don't know if any young people are reading this, but if they are, I'd like to say this: “Listen to life and its experiences. Everyone goes through mostly the same things.”

In management, fairness is a virtue. Numerous academic studies have shown that the most effective leaders are generally those who give employees a voice, treat them with dignity, and base decisions on accurate and complete information.

But there’s a hidden cost to this behavior. We’ve found that although fair managers earn respect, they’re seen as less powerful than other managers — less in control of resources, less able to reward and punish — and they may only have a slim chance of attaining certain key leadership roles.

Our research, which included lab studies and responses from hundreds of corporate decision makers and employees, began with the age-old question “Should leaders be loved or feared?” We went a step further, asking, “Can you have respect and power?” We found that it’s hard to gain both.

Consider Hank McKinnell and Karen Katen, two rising stars at Pfizer during the 1990s. McKinnell, who’d served as CFO and run the company’s overseas businesses, was known for his firm negotiating style and no-nonsense, occasionally harsh manner. Katen’s performance had also won her numerous promotions, and she headed Pfizer’s primary operating unit. She treated subordinates and colleagues with respect and was respected in turn

In 2001, when it came time for a new CEO, the two were among the top candidates. McKinnell was chosen. One analyst told Bloomberg, “Hank is the right guy for the job. He’s got a toughness about him.”

We heard this attitude expressed in a range of industries. Decisions about high-level promotions most often center on perceptions of power, not of fairness.

The same bias(倾向) was exhibited by students in a laboratory setting. Each witnessed a “manager” telling an employee about a compensation decision. Manager A communicated the decision rudely, Manager B with respect. The students were then assigned to work in a group led by the manager they’d observed; afterward they rated their leader’s power. Rude Manager A consistently scored higher than respectful Manager B — even though there was no difference in how they’d treated the participants themselves. Simply having witnessed the rude and respectful behavior was enough to create the bias.

We’ve long wondered why managers don’t always behave fairly, because doing so would clearly benefit their organizations. Studies show that the success of change initiatives depends largely on fair implementation. Our research suggests an answer. Managers see respect and power as two mutually exclusive (排他的) avenues, and many choose the latter.

57. It can be inferred from the text that Hank McKinnell _________.

A. overvalued power in management

B. stressed respect most in daily work

C. was fair and mild in management

D. could be very strict with his employees

58. What was exhibited by students in the laboratory setting?

A. Manager A had respectful behavior but got a lower score.

B. Manager B behaved respectfully and got a higher score.

C. Manager A had rude behavior but got a higher score.

D. Manager B behaved rudely and got a lower score.

59. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

A. Managers whose style is based on respect can’t gain power.

B. Companies can’t benefit from placing more value on fairness.

C. Powerful leaders are more likely to get promoted than respectful leaders.

D. Everyone sees respect and power as two mutually exclusive avenues.

60. Which could be the best title for the text?

A. How CEOs Stay Focused                                 B. What High-ambition Leaders Are

C. When Fair Bosses Get Ahead                                   D. Why Fair Bosses Fall Behind

Nothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet. Besides, those who are self-confident can in turn inspire confidence in others: their audience, their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success.

So how can we build a sense of self-confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to success?

First, do what you believe to be right, even if others laugh at or criticize you for it. Believe in yourself and believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really will. The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them.

Second, govern your behavior based on what other people think. What's more important, be willing to take risks and go the extra miles to achieve better results, in which case mistakes cannot be avoided. Don't hesitate to admit your mistakes, and learn from them. Next, work hard to settle the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices. Building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through. And what's even better is that the things you'll do to build self-confidence will also build success — after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement. No one can take this away from you!

As you sow, sow will reap. With your perseverance and improvement, you are getting closer to success. At this stage, wait for others to congratulate you on your accomplishments and praise graciously. "Thanks, I really worked hard on that prospect. I'm pleased you recognize my efforts." The congratulations and praise from others will promote you to gain further success.

Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it. Self-confidence really can be learned and built on. Besides, whether you're working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it's well worth the effort!

53. Those who are truly confident _________.

A. succeed without effort and hard work

B. appear more attractive and thus become successful

C. encourage people around to become confident

D. gain the confidence of others and feel successful

54. When others congratulate us on our achievements, we are supposed to _________.

A. politely accept the praise                             B. gain further improvement

C. praise them in return                           D. expect them to congratulate you again

55. Which of the following proverbs best goes with Paragraph 4?

A. Look before you leap.

B. Learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones.

C. Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.

D. It is no use crying over spilt milk.

56. The purpose of the text is to _________.

A. tell people how to become successful

B. convince people to do what they believe to be right

C. criticize people who lack confidence and thus fail in their career

D. encourage people to build confidence and achieve success

I had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I officiated (主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. Both died a natural death. At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. It’s my fault.”

When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, we tend to think that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believed that the opposite course, for example, keeping Mother at home, would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?

There seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense and that there is a reason for everything that happens.

The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely give up that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.

50. People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _________.

A. they cannot find a better way to express their sorrow

B. they don’t know the natural course of events

C. they believe that they are responsible for what has happened

D. they don’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction

51. The underlined part “the world makes sense” in Paragraph 3 probably means that _________.
A. everything in the world is planned in advance 

B. the world can be understood in different ways

C. there’s an explanation for everything in the world 

D. we have to be wise in order to understand the world

52. People have believed since early childhood that _________.

A. their wishes are the cause of everything that happens

B. life and death is an unsolved mystery

C. every story should have a happy ending

D. everybody must obey their demand

The Hunchback of Notre Dame is one of the well-known novels written by French author Victor Hugo. I have just finished this book.

Reflecting on the content of the book, I am most impressed by the architecture of that time, the churches that represented power and luxury. It shows how great architects’ appreciation of beauty and their capacity of turning their dreams into buildings.

When it comes to the heroine Esmerelda, I am deeply impressed by her beauty and kindness. I love her not only for her fascinating appearance but also because of her good mind and pitiful destiny. We can see her pure beauty from how she treats the goat, how she saves the jobless poet, and how she sacrifices for love. In my eyes, she is a lost angel in the world. However, all this perfect girl has received is to lead a vagrant (漂泊的) life. She lives in a gutter and is often made fun of by the so-called upper class of society. She is abandoned and threatened. In the end, Esmerelda sadly makes the decision to end her life.

Different lifestyles are displayed in the novel, like foolish Phoebus and the ugly hunchback Quasimodo. A striking comparison is demonstrated between Phoebus and Quasimodo. They both fall in love with the gypsy (吉普赛人) girl at the same time and both are refused. Their love is so strong and sincere, while one wants to conquer and the other chooses to sacrifice.

I think that may be the real charm of the famous novel. It tells not only a sad story, but also reveals human beings' pursuits of love and happiness. However, not everyone receives the same treatment in search of their love and happiness. What should we do when we are confronted with the darkness and unfairness of society? Everyone has different answers, as the characters in the novel do.

46. What struck the author most was _________.

A. the content of the book itself　 　　　　　　 B. power and luxury

C. Esmerelda’s vagrant life　　　 　　　　　　　 D. the architecture, Esmerelda’s beauty and kindness

47. What’s the author’s attitude towards Esmerelda?

A. criticizing and complaining. 　　　　　　　　　　 B. admiring and sympathetic.

C. disappointed and upset.　　 　　　　　　　　　　　 D. regretful and sad

48. The underline word “ are confronted with” in the last paragraph can be replaced by _________.

A. are put up with　　　　　　　　　　 B. are faced with 　　　 C. are satisfied with 　　　　　 D. are covered with

49. The best tittle of the passage may be _________.

A. Classic novel still teaches us B. Charming Esmerelda
