SydneyAs we all know, the 2000 Olympic Games were held in Sydney. Have you been to Sydney? What does it look like?
Sydney is one of Australia's oldest, largest and liveliest cities with a population of more than three million. It is a colorful, modern city but it is also a natural beauty with green park land and perhaps the world's most beautiful deep-water harbor.

查看习题详情和答案>>Confucius said, “In a group of three people, there is always something I can learn. Choose to follow the strengths of others, and use their shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves.”
As you can see from what Confucius said, everyone that we come across can teach us something useful. As long as we reflect on the lessons learnt from and by other people, we can continuously improve ourselves. But take note that when you reflect on these lessons, you apply some wisdom to each lesson because each situation is unique although they share some common principles.
We can learn a lot from everyone. We always tend to think that we can only learn from those who are higher in status or have more knowledge than us, but that is not really the case. We learn from those who are lower in status than us as well, because the experience and knowledge of each person is very different.
The best thing about this type of learning, reflecting other people’s strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves, is that we do not pay for the mistakes that are made. The only cost to us is the time that is needed to learn about and reflect on these lessons from other people’s lives.
As we all know, some mistakes can be ones which people cannot afford to make, for instance, a broken friendship or a financial loss. Thus constantly using other people’s strengths and shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves makes us realize the costs of these mistakes and reduces the possibility that we will make similar mistakes.
What can we do now to learn from others? By keeping our eyes and ears open. Be observant and able to realize what strengths and shortcomings other people have. A lot of people in this world like to complain about their lives. Listen to them and make you own assessment and from your own assessment, reflect upon your life and make improvements where necessary.
66. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Confucius thought we should learn from strengths of others.
B. Only from those who have more knowledge than us can we learn.
C. It is by reflecting on the lessons learnt by others that we can improve ourselves.
D. Reflecting upon other people’s strengths and shortcomings can help us make fewer mistakes.
67. The underlined part “this type of learning” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to_______.
A. learning from other people’s mistakes
B. learning from others’ experiences
C. finding what strengths and shortcomings other people have
D. reflecting others’ strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves
68. From the fifth paragraph, we learn that _______.
A. sometimes we can afford the costs of a broken friendship
B. our reflection will necessarily reduce our mistakes
C. some reflection will help to improve ourselves
D. reflection will stop us from making any mistakes in life
69. The passage is probably taken from __________.
A. a magazine about life B. a book about travel
C. an advertisement D. a research report
70. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. How to improve oneself.
B. How to use the shortcomings of others to reflect upon ourselves.
C. How to reduce the mistakes in one’s life.
D. How to learn from other people’s strengths and shortcomings.

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
As we all know, life is full of dreams and having a good dream is of great importance in our daily life．Without a good dream, people can't make progress; without a good dream, countries can't develop; without a good dream, the world can't become so beautiful!And I hold the strong belief that everyone, whether he is old or young, poor or rich, junior or senior, does have a good dream!After all, dreaming is certainly a positive part of our life, and wishing for good things, however, costs nothing!
What's more, it is important to fly our dreams, especially for those who are Senior 3 students．It is high time for them to fly their dreams．If they can't let out dreams fly, the dream would just be a dream, not reality!
Therefore, it is no wonder that so many people have a dream since their childhood．With a nice dream, China succeeded to host the 29th Olympic Games in 2008; with a nice dream, Hongkong returned to the motherland peacefully in 1997; with a nice dream, Yuan Longping rids the world of hunger; with a nice dream, Michael Jordon becomes the most popular basketball star; with a nice dream I can stand on this stage to compete in the final English speech contest．And with an aim of achieving success, I must do the best!
So my good friends, if you want to realize your dream, please do not be afraid in face of difficulties or give up in face of failure nor lose your dream in face of pains．You must keep going forward bravely!Just fly your dream highly above the sky!
