【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
What is success? I am not going to try to explain success. I think a precise meaning is impossible! Is it winning a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon, or being awarded a Nobel Prize? What else? I believe personal success could be anything at all- it does not have to involve public recognition. Who is more successful? A millionaire who is unhappy, or an unnoticed person, who has led a simple, quiet, sincere and happy life? The simplest definition of success, I think, is “to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it.
The first step on the road to success starts with belief. Believe you can succeed and you will. Achieving success in whatever endeavor(努力)you choose may be the goal of life; because it gives you freedom from worry. Could that be?
Success means different things to every one of us. Some people believe it is measured in financial term; others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves. However, most people are motivated to a great extend by public recognition. How many people are really happy? How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives? Incidentally, to imagine makes us different from animals.
Most important of all, I believe success is a matter of personal growth. If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter, I believe one is successful. Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success. I've got a very long way to go them!
Finally, always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination. It's the journey that really matters. Success is what you become in the often very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.
（1）What is personal success according to the author?
A.Winning public recognition
B.Being an unhappy millionaire
C.Something impossible to define simply
D.Succeeding in doing what you want
（2）Which plays an important role in your success?
A.Intelligence

A.What is success
B.No true success
C.How to be successful
D.Success is reaching a destination

【答案】
（1）D
（2）B
（3）C
（4）A
【解析】成功是什么？本文詮釋了它的定義。

⑴D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句The simplest definition of success,I think,is "to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it".可知作者認(rèn)為個(gè)人的成功就是成功地做了你想做的事情。根據(jù)句意可知選D。

⑵B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一、二句The first step on the road to success starts with belief.Believe you can succeed and you will.可知成功的關(guān)鍵是“自信”。故選B。

⑶C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句Incidentally,the ability to imagine makes us different from animals.可知人類與動(dòng)物的最大區(qū)分就是想象力。故選C。

⑷A主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段第一句What is success?什么是成功？和最后一段Finally,always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination.成功是一個(gè)過程，不僅僅是到達(dá)目的地的問題。It's the journey that really matters.是行程重要；Success is what you become in the often very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life. 成功是你在非常困難和危險(xiǎn)的旅程中所取得的成就。可知本文在敘述什么是成功，所以答案是A。

Keeping a diary in English is one of the effective ways to improve our English writing ability.
(compare) with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes (little) time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in(堅(jiān)持) this practice, gradually we'll learn how to express (we) in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many(difficult). In the first place, it often happens that we have trouble in (find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there (be) many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is (extreme) hard for us to put them into English properly.
As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also ask our English teacher help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for development of our writing skills.

How to Develop Courage by Overcoming Daily Fears
Sometimes when thinking of courage, we think it only applies to rare and uncommon situations. Yet our ordinary lives can also be full of courage, even if we are not facing the end of a gun, a wild animal or a dangerous criminal. Courage doesn't just mean doing heroic acts. In fact, where there is fear on a daily basis, there are opportunities for you to show your courage. Here are some suggestions to develop courage by overcoming daily fears.
● Recognizing your fears.
By realizing that you're fearful, you are more likely to get to the bottom of what your fear is. You might come to understand that you're afraid of failing or taking chances. You may be fearful simply because you don't have confidence in yourself. The key is not to dwell on your fear, but rather to understand what it is what you're worried about.
● Ask yourself what is the worst that can happen.
If you hesitate to take action, ask yourself this: What's the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then go on to improve on the worst. Is failure the worst thing that can happen? No, absolutely not. Doing nothing is actually the worst thing that can happen. When you take no action, you are assured of getting nowhere.
● Take action.
Courage comes from taking action. You need to act to overcome your fear. Your action may put you into discomfort, but you have to just do it. And your action can prevent you from being stuck.
●
To build up your confidence, you need to do the same thing over and over again. Soon you will discover that less courage is needed because you have already gained mastery. You are able to move decisively forward.
A. Share your fears with others.
B. Practice, practice and practice.
C. So you are already in a comfort zone.
D. You cannot think courage comes just in one day.
E. Each undesired result is just one more step towards your goal.
F. Finding out what is truly holding you back.
G. You needn't wait for an emergency to occur to develop courage.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
My parents moved to Mississippi when my brother and I were small children, and we were separated from our Oklahoma grandparents by some 600 miles. This long distance allowed us to only visit our grandparents once a year, either at Christmas or during summer vacation.
Most of my classmates lived near their grandparents, and I would often hear stories of big families regularly spending time with one another, fishing at “grandpa's” house or going over to “grandma's”for her famous fried chicken. We were disappointed that we did not get to spend more time with our grandparents, but our love for them remained deep and strong.
We always expected a road trip to Oklahoma. We would count the days, and when the day came, the entire family would pile into our car at four o'clock in the morning. Crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana, the scenery changed. Crossing the Red River in Oklahoma, we were in a foreign world.
Every trip to see my grandparents can't be without bringing delight. We jumped out of the car in their driveway to be met with bear hugs. My grandparents wanted to know everything about their grandchildren, and we would sit for hours and tell story after story. Grandma had a meal planned, and you could guess she prepared her grandsons' favorite foods. Of course the best part of the visit was that we were able to do whatever we wanted without punishment from our grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa always had presents for us, short trips planned and lovely surprises, such as the time we got to a local restaurant and ate the world's largest hamburger.
（1）Why didn't the family visit their grandparents often?
A.Because they seldom had a vacation.
B.Because they had a bad attitude to them.
C.Because they were all busy with their work.
D.Because they lived far away from each other.
（2）When hearing his classmates' stories, the author __________.
A.often felt deep sorrow
B.would call his grandparents
C.would admire them at heart
D.would feel sorry for his poor life
（3）Whenever the author and his brother met their grandparents, they _________.
A.were full of great excitement
B.found they were in a foreign world
C.shared cooking skills with each other
D.seemed not to be familiar with each other
（4）What can we infer from the author's story?
A.Distance can't break the bond of love.
B.Physical separation hurts the heart deeply.
C.Distance leads to the most beautiful scene.
D.Family life is filled with love and understanding.

Every animal sleeps, but the reason for this has remained foggy. When lab rats are not allowed to sleep, they die within a month. 1

One idea is that sleep helps us strengthen new memories. 2 We know that, while awake, fresh memories are recorded by reinforcing (加強(qiáng)) connections between brain cells, but the memory processes that take place while we sleep have been unclear.

Support is growing for a theory that sleep evolved so that connections between neurons(神經(jīng)元) in the brain can be weakened overnight, making room for fresh memories to form the next day. 3

Now we have the most direct evidence yet that he is right. 4 The synapses in the mice taken at the end of a period of sleep were 18 per cent smaller than those taken before sleep, showing that the connections between neurons weaken while sleeping.

If Tononi’s theory is right, it would explain why, when we miss a night`s, we find it harder the next day to concentrate and learn new information — our brains may have smaller room for new experiences.

Their research also suggests how we may build lasting memories over time even though the synapses become thinner. The team discovered that some synapses seem to be protected and stayed the same size. 5 “You keep what matters,” Tononi says.

A. We should also try to sleep well the night before.

B. It’s as if the brain is preserving its most important memories.

C. Similarly, when people go for a few days without sleeping, they get sick.

D. The processes take place to stop our brains becoming loaded with memories.

E. That’s why students do better in tests if they get a chance to sleep after learning.

F. “Sleep is the price we pay for learning,” says Giulio Tononi, who developed the idea.

G. Tononi’s team measured the size of these connections, or synapses, in the brains of 12 mice.
