  How to be a winner 

Sir Steven Redgrave 

Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals

 “In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病)， Believing my career (职业生涯) was over,I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it—the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way. ”

Karen Pickering 

Swimming World Champion

 “I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself,write down your goals for the day,however small they are,and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them. ” 

Kirsten Best 

Poet Writer

 “When things are getting hard,a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve anything. Then,there are other distractions,such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense,it helps a lot to repeat words such as calm, “peace”or “focus”either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological (心理的) tool. ”

[文章大意]这篇短文主要讲述了三位成功名人的背后是什么力量在支持他们。

1. D段落大意题.根据第一部分Steven Redgrave的例子中"In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes (糖尿病) .”可知，他在克服疾病的影响以后又一次获得了成功。故D 正确。

2. A细节理解题。根据第二部分"I manage that sort of work?load by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to suc?cess―you can't follow a career in any field without being well-organized."可知本段是讲要严格按照事先的安排来进行训练，以获得成功。故A正确。

3. C推理判断题。根据"Then,there are other distractions,such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate.”可知要集中注意力。故distractions指一些让"我"注意力分散的事物，故C正确。

4. D细节理解题。三部分中的I believed in myself,List what you believe you can achieve和increases my confidence说明这三个人都很有信心。故D正确。

 You’re on the third lap around the car park,because there are no open spaces,and you’re already 15 minutes late for your appointment. Right now you’re wishing you could jump out of the car and let it go and find its own spot.

  Now there’s an app for that. Virtual Valet lets your;iPhone tell your car to park without you in it. “You pull up to the roadside,push a button on your smartphone and the car takes care of everything else,w says Aeron Steinfeld,the lead researcher for the project at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh，Pennsylvania.

  To find its own spot,the system uses a sensor suite similar to ones found in many luxury cars. This includes a motion sensor that scans for moving cars and pedestrians,and a forward-facing laser rangefinder normally found in adaptive cruise control to determine the distance of objects in front of the car. Information from these sensors is then fed to an onboard computer to plot the vehicle’s course. The user can watch the whole process from their phone.

  Better still,it will be affordable. The team has spent the last year moving from high-end imaging and processing equipment to less expensive components. In experiments,the vehicle was able to navigate through a crowded parking structure,find an empty spot,and park all on its own. And the greatest appeal of the Virtual Valet Parking App is that it requires no change to existing parking facilities or infrastructure.

  For the moment,the only car equipped for control by Virtual Valet is Carnegie Mellon’s modified (改进) Jeep Wranger,which the researchers have named NavLabll. But Steinfeld hopes that major car manufacturers will adopt the technology.

  It might be more than technology that holds up the show,however. Self-driving cars have been licensed in only three US states—California,Nevada and Florida—and it’s unclear how this app would agree with self-driving laws. Until these questions are settled,your insurance provider might be unwilling to cover a ding (凹痕) from a parking incident.

(   ) 5. It can be learned from the first two paragraphs that      

   A. parking lots are too crowded

   B. parking spaces are too limited

   C. your car can park automatically via a smartphone app

   D. you can leave your car alone if you can’t find a parking spot

(   ) 6. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?

   A. How to determine the distance of objects.

   B. How the Virtual Valet App works.

   C. How to use the System.

   D. How to analyze the information about the vehicle’s course.

(   ) 7. The underlined word “plot” in Paragraph 3 probably means “     ”

   A. draw   B. circle

   C. change   D. follow

 When I was 11,I threw a glance into Dad’s lunch box and made the unexpected discovery that my mother still showed her love towards my father. The evidence,a napkin resting on top of the sandwiches packed in wax paper,was certain “Love you!” she had written on the napkin. “Meat loaf for supper!”

  Mum penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper napkins,and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has become a precious memory of my parents.

  It also started my own brand of lunch box notes. When my kids were young,I’d glue little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches (素描) of our dog,Max,along with smiling flowers. When they were teenagers,I’d copy words of wisdom from great people,Einstein,for example,or Bruce Springsteen. Then,my kids grew up making their own handwritten notes. And my husband writes me love notes on recycled paper,because he’s all about being green.

  Friends who know about my lunch box notes eagerly share stories of their own family traditions. So many focus on food. Maura’s mum always drew hearts on the shells of hard-boiled eggs. Melinda wrote messages on her kids’ bananas.

  We’re into the third generation of lunch box notes in our home. Whenever my 3-year-old grandson,Clayton,spends the night,he knows his lunch is going to have a napkin note from Grandma in the morning. Last week,I drew a picture of me,waving widely and shouting his name. He took one look at it and screamed, “Where’s Grandpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. “You forgot his tie”’ he said. 1 quickly drew a line of stripes (条纹) down the front of the shirt. Clayton smiled. “Grandpa ,” he whispered,running his fingers across the napkin. “It’s you!”

  I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course,I responded with an immediate “Yes”. As I planned the meal in my head,I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.

  But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away,our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.

  Later in my life,when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins,women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter,and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital,my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter!

  Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies,but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays,it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.

   A. had to stay in bed for several weeks

   B. knew the family in need very well

   C. was glad to be able to lend a hand

   D. was tired of preparing food

(   ) 7. Which of the following is TRUE about the author?

   A. Her mother died when she was in hospital.

   B. She didn’t get enough food during her pregnancy.

   C. She received food as well as comfort in her hard times.

   D. She thinks offering food is the best way to show love.

(   ) 8. According to the passage,which of the following conclusions can we get?

   A. A good beginning makes a good ending.

   B. One good turn deserves another.

   C. Actions speak louder than words.

   D. Every man has his faults

Do you read reviews after you see a movie? I use to do that,but I usually regretted. I read so much about a movie on advance that I often ended up not go to see it at all. The writers point out everything that is wrong with the film,but seldom mentions anything good about one. They also tell many things and even the ending of the movie. Lately I have changed way I choose movies to watch. I read reviews afterwards if necessary. What is very importance to me is that I don’t watch the talk shows in that people discuss movies. And I don’t ask other people how they like of it. Now,I enjoy myself even more.
