11.I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route.He replied,"You mean fortunately."He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.
My attitude to the hill has now changed.I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell myself the following.This hill will exercise my heart and lungs.It will help me to lose weight and get fit.It will mean that I live longer.This hill is my friend.Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I call get the same value for free.I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.
Problems are there to be faced and overcome.We cannot achieve anything with an easy life.Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree.Her activism and writing proved inspirational.She wrote?"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened,vision cleared,ambition inspired and success achieved."
One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境).From time to time we all face hardships,problems,accidents,afflictions and difficulties.Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own.While we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it.
Douglas Bader was 21when in 1931he had both legs cut off following a flying accident.He was deter-mined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of Britain with 22aerial victories over the Germans.He was an inspiration to others during the war.He said,"Don't listen to any-one who tells you that you can't do this or that.That's nonsense.Make up your mind,you'll never use crutches(拐杖)or a stick,then have a go at everything.Go to school,join in all the games you can.Go anywhere you want to.But never,never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible."
The biographies (傳記) of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced.The common thread is that they did not become depressed.They chose their attitude.They chose to be positive.They took on the challenge.They won.
Nevertheless,there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.

57.Which of the following is true according to the author of the passage?C
A.Climbing hills on bicycles is the best way to fake exercise.
B.People are silly to pay to go to the gym.
C.Those who want to achieve success cant expect to live all easy life.
D.People's attitude towards adversity is the only factor that determines whether they will succeed.
58.By quoting what Douglas Bader said,the author intends to tell us"D."
A.Failure is the mother of Success.
B.A fall into the pit,a gain in your wit.
C.If you venture nothing,you will have nothing.
D.Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
59.Following this passage,the author will further talk aboutB.
A.how his friend helped him to change his attitude towards the adversity he faced
B.what steps to take to change your attitude towards the adversity you face
C.what great people have in common
D.why it is important to keep optimistic in face of adversity
60.Which of the following can best function as the title of the passage?A
A.Face adversity with a smile             B.Different attitudes towards adversity
C.Nothing is impossible                   D.Life is full of adversity.

2.I have happy memories of trips to Europe,but my trip to Romania (羅馬尼亞) was unique.When I was there as recalled,it was like being in a"James Bond"movie.My husband was born there,but his family sent him to study in Italy.Before he left,his mother told him,"As long as I write in pencil,don't come back.When I write to you in pen,it's safe to return."But she never wrote in pen.
My husband lived a poor life in Italy.He applied to go to America,but there was a limit in number and he was rejected.He was accepted by Canada,though,and from Calgary he jumped onto a train to San Francisco.There he stayed-illegally.He became a US citizen when we got married.By then he was a charming European with a Romanian accent and the manners of a prince.
With seven years'experience in America,a US passport,and two children later,he felt it was safe to visit Romania.He hadn't seen his mother,two sisters,and two brothers since he was sixteen.We flew to Munich,Germany; picked up the German-made car we had purchased in the States; and drove to Romania via Austria and Hungary.When we reached Bucharest,the capital city of Romania,his family was waiting outside his sister's house to greet us.After a long time of hugging,kissing,and crying,his family also hugged me,the American wife with two young children.They had great interest in me.Few Americans visited Romania at that time,and most Romanians had little chance to travel.I had brought an English-Romanian dictionary with me and managed to communicate,using only nouns,with no verbs.My Romanian improved,and the family's stock of English words increased,but mostly I spoke in broken,New York-accented Romanian.The sisters loved their gifts of skirts and purses,the brothers loved the radios,and the children loved the candy.We made side trips to the Black Sea and enjoyed sightseeing in beautiful mountains.Dining at outdoor cafes to the music of violins was fantastic with fancy flavor,but nothing was as special as family dinners.
Romania didn't have many dry cleaners.Most homes had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers,and it was a hot summer.My husband's relatives didn't want to risk dirtying their clothes.Their solution was as simple as it was shocking:the women only wore their bras(胸罩) and slips (襯裙) at dinner table.The men were eating without shirts.They all had jobs,so time was precious.Having dinner without proper clothes was a small inconvenience compared with the effort of washing clothes-at least in my husband's home,perhaps all across Romania.I,of course,having just met them,ate fully clothed.I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry.
On the last night of our three-week stay,we had a large family dinner.I was tired of washing my clothes.So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me.All men and women applauded for my action.Even with my poor Romanian,I understood that they were saying,"She's part of our family now."
My children were 4 and 5 at the time,but they still have memories of that trip.They know how to say,"Good morning."and"There are apricots (杏子) on the tree."I can still say,"Do you speak Romanian?"and"I swim in the Black Sea."But most of all,I remember sitting at a long dining-room table in my bra,enjoying meatballs with fresh garlic (大蒜).

19.Prayer for My Mother
Dear God,
Now that I am no longer young,I have friends whose mothers have passed away.I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.
I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive.I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change,but I do.As I grow older and wiser,I realize what an extraordinary person she is.How sad that I am unable to speak these words in her presence,but they flow easily from my pen.
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself?For the love,patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child?For running after a toddler (學(xué)步兒童),for understanding a moody teenager,for tolerating a college student who knows everything?For waiting for the day when a daughter realizes what her mother really is?
How does a grown woman thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother?For being ready with advice when asked or remaining silent when it is most appreciated?For not saying:"!told you so",when she could have voiced these words dozens of times?For being essentially herself-loving,thoughtful,patient,and forgiving?
I don't know how,dear God,except to bless her as richly as she deserves(應(yīng)得) and to help me live up to the example she has set.I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in mine

16.Our house was directly across the street from the clinic entrance of John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to out-patients at the clinic.
         One summer evening as I was fixing; supper,there was a knock at the door.I opened it to see a truly awful looking man-no taller than my eight-year-old-I thought as I stared at the shriveled (皺縮的)body.But the shocking thing was his face-twisted from swelling.
         He told me he'd been hunting for a room since noon but with no success."I guess it's my face…,but my doctor says with a few more treatments …"
         I told him we would find him a bed.When I had finished the dishes,he told me he fished for a living to support his daughter,her five children,and her husband,who was hopelessly disabled from a back injury.He didn't tell it by way of complaint; in fact,every other sentence began with a thanks to God for a blessing.He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease,which was apparently a form of skin cancer.
         The next morning before lie left for his bus,he asked if he could come back and stay the next time he had a treatment.I told him lie was welcome to come again.
         In the years he came to stay overnight with us,there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or oysters or vegetables from his garden.
         When I received these little gifts,I often thought of a comment our next-door neighbor made after he left that first morning."Did you keep that awful looking man last night?I turned him away.1 You can lose roomers by accommodating such people!"
         Maybe we did lose roomers once or twice.But oh; If only they could have known him,perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear.I know our family always will be grateful to have known him; from him we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude.
56.The first time I met the man,D.
A.I felt pity for his look
B.he frightened my kid
C.he was in need of something to eat
D.he was looking for a place to stay overnight
57.The next-door neighbor refused the man becauseA.
A.he might lose roomers                     
B.the man was poor
C.he had no spare room                     
D.the man didn't bring him gifts
58.Which of the following is NOT true about the man?C
A.He developed skin cancer.
B.He fished to support a large family.
C.God helped him to get over his disease.
D.He didn't complain about his sufferings.
59.What attitude did the man have toward life?A

20.A Full-Time School Called Life
You are enrolled in a full-time school called"life".Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons.You may like the lessons or hate them,but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.
Why are you here?What is your purpose?Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time.What we and our ancestors overlooked,however,is there is no one answer.The meaning of life is different for every individual.
Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path,unique and separate from anyone else's.As you travel your life path,you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose.The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is a key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life.
As you travel through your lifetime,you may encounter challenging lessons that others don't have to face,while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don't need to deal with.You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage,while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces,just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance.The only thing you can count on for certain is that you specifically need to learn; whether we choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you.
The challenge here,therefore,is to align(與…保持一致)yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons.This is one of the most difficult challenges you will be faced with in your lifetime,as sometimes your path will be completely different from others.But,remember,don't compare your path to the people around you and focus on the difference between their lessons and yours.You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.
Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equity-the assumption that all things are equal and that justice will always prevail.Life is not,in fact,fair,and you may indeed have a more difficult lift path than others around you,deserved or not.Everyone's circumstances are unique,and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently.If you want to move toward calm,you will be required to move out the comparing phrase of"it's not fair".Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness.You miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself with feeling of bitterness and anger.

71.According to the passage,how can the meaning of your life be realized?C
A.Having the same opinions as others.
B.Taking the distinct path from others.
C.Learning the lessons presented to you.
D.Doing the different things from others.
72.From the passage we can concludeA.
A.everyone has his own track to follow
B.the same thing usually happen to the peers
C.a(chǎn) painful divorce must lie in financial problems
D.a(chǎn) wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage
73.In your lifetimes,the lessons you are faced withD.
A.a(chǎn)re beyond your power         B.keep you from growth
C.limit your development        D.help you with your success
74.Which of the following is TRUE?B
A.All things are equal and justice will always prevail.
B.You should learn to appreciate your specific uniqueness.
C.One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances.
D.The teachers have designed the lessons as part of your curriculum in the life school.
75.Life is called a full-time school,becauseC.
A.it is full of all lessons to learn            
B.you have plenty of time to learn lessons
C.you meet with specific lessons every day   
D.there are so many subjects for you to choose.
