When Dave was eighteen, he bought a secondhand car for 200 so that he could travel to and from work more ____ than by bus. It worked quite well for a few years, but then it got so old, and it was costing him so much in repairs that he decided that he had better ____ it.

He asked among his friends to see if anyone was particularly ____ to buy a cheap car, but they all knew that it was falling to pieces, so none of them had any desire to buy it. Dave's friend Sam saw that he was ____ when they met one evening, and said, “What's up, Dave?” Dave told him, and Sam answered, “Well, what about advertising it in the paper? You may ____ more for it that way than the cost of the advertisement!” Thinking that Sam's ____ was sensible(合理的), he put an advertisement in an evening paper, which read “For sale: small car, uses very little petrol, only two owners. Bargain at 50.”

For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no ____. But then on Saturday evening he had an enquiry. A man rang up and said he would like to ____ him about the car. “All right,” Dave said, feeling happy. He asked the man whether ten o'clock the next morning would be ____ or not. “Fine,” the man said, “and I'll ____ my wife. We intend to go for a ride in it to ____ it.”

The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Dave parked the car in the square outside his front door, ____ to wait there for the people who had ____ his advertisement. Even Dave had to ____ that the car really looked like a wreck(残骸). Then, soon after he had got the car as clean as it could be, a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out. He looked at Dave's car and then said, “Have you reported this ____ to us yet, sir?”

Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s roof-tops. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city dwellers, myself included, usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.

My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.

I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest-house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.

Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibre-glass. We have televisions, cell phones, papers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.

Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of which was spent indoors, I thought that before long I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains, and perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touch the moon.

It is said that a person has about 6,000 thoughts every day, Yet, of the 6,000 thoughts you have today, ninety percent of these are the same as the 6,000 you had yesterday and the day before, leaving little room for new thoughts. No wonder life can seem tedious at times. Unless you start to think differently, you are to continue to create and repeat the same old reality every day. Is it not time to change your thoughts, enliven your dreams and let reality catch up?

Most of our thoughts and actions are habits, and we go thought the same motions each day, with little change in our behaviors or outlook. What would happen if you challenged these habits or customs? What if you were to step out of your comfort zone and explore new ideas or new ways or doing things? Would your life not change as a result?

Thought is a form of energy. Does this energy keep you forward or hold you back? You have a choice about the thoughts you think. How many times in the past have you chosen to disregard your positive thoughts and focus on your negative(消极的) thoughts? At this moment, if you were to be at ease and to focus on your positive thoughts while discounting your negative thoughts, how would your life change?

To realize your dreams, pay attention to what is happening around you. Be curious. Notice how your thoughts about yourself, your thoughts about others and your thoughts about what others may be thinking of you influence and what you are able to achieve. Start to think, see and experience things, people, places and events in new ways. Recognize what happens when you begin to think differently about yourself and what you are capable of achieving.

A．About 40 B．Over 5,400

4.The underlined word “tedious” may share the same meaning with “ ”.

A．stupid B．colorful

C．strange D．boring

5.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is time the same all over the world? That's an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that's why they are fond of the expression, "Time is money."

To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people's time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don't try that at work.

American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is suitable. Only very close friends will just "drop by" unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.

1.Why are the Americans fond of the expression “ Time is money.”?

A．Because they can’t control time.

B．Because they is the same all over the world.

C．Because they consider time as a thing like money.

D．Because they consider time as a valuable resource.

2.In America, if you are more than 10 minutes late to an appointment,

A．it doesn’t matter

B．it is necessary for you to make an apology

C．you needn’t say anything about your delay

D．you needn’t call ahead to let others know you will be late.

3.What does the last paragraph mainly discuss?

A．The reasons why Americans value time.

B．The ways to show their respect to the time of others.

C．Being on time is highly valued in the USA.

D．Never drop in on others unless you are their close friends.

4.We can infer that .

A．you mustn’t be on time when you attend an informal get-together.

B．you can’t change the time of an appointment once you fix it.

C．Americans never call up others after 10 p.m.

D．Americans think highly of punctuality at work.

5.The main idea of the passage is .

A．that Americans value punctuality

B．that in the USA time is limited and valuable.

C．the Americans attitude towards time.

D．the Americans’ control over time.
