　　Short and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team．

　　“Football, tennis, cricket－anything with a round ball, I was useless, ”he says now with a laugh．But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England’s rural Devonshire．

　　It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him．At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest．Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend．Gradually,

　　Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance．At age 18, he ran his first marathon．

　　The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean．Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man’s cold-water exploits．Intrigued,

　　Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future．

　　Journeys to the Pole aren’t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy．“John Ridgway was one of the few who didn’t say, ’You are completely crazy, ’” Saunders says．

　　Thousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New year by heading for the ski resorts(滑雪場(chǎng))．Never mind that Beijing's dry weather seldom produces snow．It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital．And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(熱潮)Since Beijing's first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed astonishing increase．There are now more than a dozen resorts．Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections．Mr．Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe, In recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China．But many are in faraway areas of the country and can't really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe．

　　Beijing's skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private(私有的)cars．This has led to the growth of a Ieisure industry in the capital's suburbs(郊區(qū)), which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people, According to Mr, Wei, about 40％ of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars．The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government Offices．

　　The problem is making money．Starting ski resorts requires quite a lot of money; hiring land from the local government, preparing the hills, buying snow machines, making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers．

　　The ski resort where Mr．Wei works cost nearly ＄4m to set up．And．a(chǎn)s so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others hash in and price wars break out．Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world, though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job．

(1)

What does this text mainly talk about?

[　　]

A．

Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars．

B．

Skiing as a new way of enjoying one's spare time．

C．

Things to be considered when starting a ski resort．

A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing．

閱讀理解

　　Most people believe they don't have much imagination．They are wrong．Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it．Creativity isn't always connected with great works of art or ideas．People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems．Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you．

　　This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them．First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do．Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle．Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles：light, fire, matches, wax：night, silence, etc．Think of as many as you can．The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do．So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night．

　　Imagine that normal limitations don't exist．You have as much time/space/money, etc．a(chǎn)s you want．Think about your goal and the new possibilities．If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your life(because you have the time and the money)．Now adapt this to reality．Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January．

　　Look at the situation from a different point of view．Good negotiators(談判者)use this technique in business, and so do writers．Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books．They ask questions：what does this character want? Why can't she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself "in their shoes"．The best fishermen think like fish!

(1)

According to the passage, when we become adults _________．

[　　]

A．

we can still learn to be more creative．

B．

most of us are no longer creative．

C．

we are not as imaginative as children．

D．

we are unwilling to be creative．

(2)

The second technique suggests that you just imagine _________．

[　　]

A．

setting a goal is as simple as skiing．

B．

you have every resource to achieve your goal．

C．

new possibilities will soon appear．

D．

December and January are the best months for skiing．

(3)

The phrase “put yourself in their shoes” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________．

[　　]

A．

dress yourself like them．

B．

do as they ask you to．

C．

think as they would．

D．

put on their shoes,

(4)

We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself：

[　　]

A．

what do I usually do?

B．

what did my boss tell me to do?

C．

what are my customers' needs?

D．

how should I sell my products?
