  When you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment.Your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers(晴雨表)for how you perceive(理解)yourself.Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others.You cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself.We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.

  Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate(阐明;照亮)more clearly your own feelings of self-worth.Conversely, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.

  To survive together peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance.A big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself.Your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.

  Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners.My first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying.When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling.I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose.I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.

  Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him.Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him.In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.

  When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.

[  ]

A.

We are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.

C.

Our first judgment of a person mostly comes from our personal opinion.

C.

background

D.

第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题 共35分)

第四部分 写作 (共两节,满分35分)

第一节 任务型阅读 (共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上。

In addition to self - awareness, imagination, and conscience, it is the fourth quality -- independent will that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in agreement with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to actively carry out the program we have developed through the other three qualities.

The human will is an amazing thing. Time after time, it has overcome unbelievable difficulties. The Helen Kellers of this world give remarkable evidence to the value, the power of the independent will.

But as we examine this quality in the context of effective self-management, we realize it's usually not the remarkable, the visible, the once-in-a-lifetime, up-by-the-bootstraps (自立自强) effort that brings lasting success. This special ability comes from learning how to use this great quality in the decisions we make every day.

The degree to which we have developed our independent will in our everyday lives is measured by our personal honesty. Honesty is, fundamentally, the value we place on ourselves. It's our ability to make and keep promises to ourselves, to "walk our talk."

Effective management is putting first things first. While leadership decides what "first things" are, it is that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. Management is discipline (training to be self-controlled), carrying it out.

Discipline obtains from belief -- belief in a set of values, belief in an overriding (最主要的) purpose, to a long-term or short-term goal that must be carried out.

In other words, if you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a follower of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the quality to control your feelings and moods rather than depend on others or have your work half done.

Title: The power of 76. _______ will

Theme

* Independence will make self-management 77. _______.

78. ______

* The ability to make 79.         and choices and to act in agreement with them.

* The ability to act, together with the other 80. _______ qualities to actively carry out the program we have developed.

Reasons

* The example given to prove power of independent will is amazing.

* Power of independent will help to make one's decisions every day.

* Honesty is very important to develop our independent will.

* It's our ability to have our 81.         made and kept.

Suggestions

* Effective managers should know 82. ________ to be done first.

* Effective managers with discipline should stick to their promises.

83. ______

* You 84.          your own values and their sources.

* Your feelings and moods are able to be controlled instead of

85.          on others.

III.阅读(共两节,满分40分)

第一节     阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of different generations.Now middle-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.

    That’s because we group people by age.We put our three-year-olds together in day-care centers, our 13-year-olds in schools and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes.Why?

  We live away from the old for many reasons.Young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears of aging and dying.It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes.Sometimes it’s so hard that we stay away from the people who need us the most.

  Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old.And we have discovered that they often save the young.

  A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people.At first her children were disappointed.But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbors and had her children deliver it and visit.Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects.“My children have never been less lonely,” the reporter said.

  The young, in turn, save the old.Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby, she was immediately surrounded.People who hadn’t gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair.Even those who had seemed asleep woke up to watch the child.Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.

  Grandparents are a special case.They give their grandchildren a feeling of security(安全) and continuity.As my husband put it, “My grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end.” Grandchildren speak of attention they don’t get from worried parents.“My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down,” one friend said.A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer and more trusting.

41.Now in an American family, people can find that _____.

  A.children never live with their parents

  B.not all working people live with their parents

  C.aged people are supported by their grandchildren

  D.grandchildren are supported by their grandparents

42.What may be the reason why old people are left alone?

  A.The old don’t like to live in a big family

  B.The young can’t get enough money to support the old

  C.Different generations have different lifestyles

  D.The old are too weak to live with the young

43.The fact the reporter told us shows that _____.

  A.old people in America lead a hard life

  B.old people in America enjoy banana bread

  C.she had no time to take care of her children

  D.old people are easy to get along with

44.Seeing a baby, the old people got excited because _____.

  A.they had never seen a baby before

  B.the baby was clever and beautiful

  C.the baby brought them the image of life

  D.the baby’s mother would take care of them

45.Why are some children quieter,calmer and more trusting?

         A.Because they have relationships with their grandparents

         B.Because their worried parents ask them to act like that

         C.Because they have nothing to worry about

         D.Because their teachers ask them to act like that

Thirty-two people watched kitty Genovese being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one’s fellow man?
Not so, say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to probe(探查) the reasons why people didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency(紧急情况).
  Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side-walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma (昏迷) from diabetes(糖尿病)? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?
Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it steam pipes? Or is it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.
  Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person won’t get the help he needs.
The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be tested. Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The receptionist started them off on the tests. Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the testing room and the room into which she went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of file cabinets falling and a cry for help. All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.
Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.
In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn’t. They do not feel any direct responsibility.
Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. Scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt the other person’s trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.
【小题1】The purpose of this passage is_________.

A.to explain why people fail to act in emergencies
B.to explain when people will act in emergencies
C.to explain what people will do in emergencies
D.to explain how people feel in emergencies
【小题2】Which of the following is NOT true?

C.A person must take the full responsibility for the safety of those in emergencies if he wants to help.

【小题3】 The researchers have conducted an experiment to prove that people will act in emergencies when__________.
A.they are in pairs  B.they are in groups
