The world always makes way for the dreamer.
When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler  36 everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling, I 37  there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to    38   people feel like that.” My father asked me 39  I meant. “I want to be a motivational （激勵人的）speaker just like Mr. Zigler,”  I replied．A 40 was born.
Recently, I began seeking my dream of motivating others. 41  a four-year relationship with Fortune 100 Company  42  as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager, I left the company at the height of my 43 . Many people were 44 that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked 45  I would risk everything for a dream.
I made my 46  to start my own company and leave my secure position after  47  a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a  48  that changed my life. He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a 49 to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a  50 ?” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realized that  51 I had accomplished in the past had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and didn’t need a god’s help to become a motivational speaker. A motivational speaker was  52  .
Having made that decision, I was immediately 53  . One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job, and now we had no  54  . But I held fast to my dream. The wonder really began to happen. In a short time my husband found a better job．And I was able to book several  55  engagements with new customers. I discovered the incredible power of dreams.

Monday: Here I am, in the middle of nowhere. This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start. It’s raining and the tent leaks. The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still can’t understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into this? When we get home—if we ever get home—he’s going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree（狂購）at the mall!
Tuesday: Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We’re camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn’t see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging out everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily.
Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!
Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section that Carol said looked “fishy”. She had a pack rod(竿), which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch so we put them back in the stream.
Friday: I can’t believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful. We’re already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river. It’s hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.
小題1:The writer went on this camping trip because________.
A．she enjoyed camping
B．she wanted to go fishing
C．she was influenced by her brother
D．she was tired of staying at home
小題2:The whole morning of Tuesday, the writer ________.
A．hiked along the lakeB．dried out her belongings
C．climbed the mountainD．caught the fish for dinner
小題3:It can be inferred that Carol had a pack rod with her because ________.
A．she could not afford to buy a regular fishing pole
B．she needed it to get their main source of food
C．she thought the writer of the journal might need it
D．she expected to go fishing while they were hiking
小題4:It is likely that the writer will ________.  
A．go on another camping trip
B．invite Carol to go fishing together
C．make her brother buy her something
D．convince her brother to go camping

However urban life strikes you, cities worldwide have been growing ever more rapidly. Some of this growth has occurred in the developed world, but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World. Almost all the world’s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in the cities of developing countries
By the year 2030, for the first time in history, 60 percent of the world’s people will be living in cities.
This is actually good news in some ways. “Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity,” says Marc Weiss, chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Development, “ both for the nation and for families.” Industrial and commercial activities in urban areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) in most countries of the world“ there’s the crazy notion that the way to deal with a city’s problems is to keep people out of them,”Weiss continued. “But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city.” For better or worse, urban-watchers are clear on one point: The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities. Those cities will be bigger than ever. And yet, population numbers by themselves don’t determine a city’s prospects; after all, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Hamburg, Germany, have the same population. Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor. “City problems,” one authority points out, “mostly have to do with weak, ineffective, and usually unrepresentative city governments.”
小題1:The passage mainly discusses ______________.
A．Big cities.B．City life.C．Population.D．Gross Domestic Product.
小題2:According to the passage, in the year of 2030 _______.
A．there will be 21 cities having a population of more than 10 million.
B．rural area will be extinct.
C．most people will live in cities.
D．the third world will keep abreast with the developed world.
小題3:In the author’s opinion, _________.
A．better city, better life
B．both urban and rural areas have a larger population
C．the larger population, the faster a city develops
D．both urban and rural areas have larger gross domestic products
小題4:Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The developing countries develop faster than the developed countries.
B．Cities contribute more to the GDP than the villagers.
C．Some problems are more easily solved in cities than in country.
D．It’s impossible to solve urban problems by getting people out of cities.
小題5:The last paragraph implies that ____________.
A．Public services are ineffective.
B．Cities are increasing too fast.
C．Population is not linked with development.
D．Government should be responsible for the problems in the cities.

                                     C
Starting college can be a difficult experience. You have to deal with new responsibilities and growing independence, a challenging course load and, of course, the social scene. When a roommate is thrown into the mix, it may feel like you’re struggling with all that stuff while living in a small box with a stranger.
But having a roommate doesn’t need to be one more thing to worry about. When students go into their living situations with realistic expectations and a willingness to compromise, things can work out just fine.
When you first meet your roommate, chances are you’ll be on your best behaviour. You want to get along, since this is the person who’s going to be sharing your living space for the next year. But try to think ahead to potential (可能的) worst cases, too.
For example, imagine it’s 2 a.m. and you’re working on a paper that should be finished in 8 hours. Your roommate comes in from a party and wants to continue the party in your room.
At times like these, you won’t be feeling good. That’s why talking about problems that might come up ahead of time -- and respecting each other’s wishes when the time comes -- is so important.
Talk about the things that are really important to you, and make sure your roommate understands. Then encourage him or her to do the same.
For example, does it make you angry when people take things without asking first? Let your roommate know your feelings about these types of things from the start, so that both of you have a feel for each other’s likes, dislikes, and habits.
小題1:The underlined word “compromise” in the second paragraph means “     ”.
A．make a decisionB．lend a handC．come to termsD．have a try
小題2:You should try to be polite to your roommate because       .
A．you are glad to share the room with him or her
B．you will live with him or her in the same room for some time
C．you will ask him or her for help in the future
D．strangers are very difficult to deal with
小題3: Which of the following is the best way to get along well with your roommate?
A．To stay silent when there are disagreements.
B．To spend more time doing things together with your roommate.
C．To have the same hobbies and living habits with your roommate.
D．To talk with your roommate in advance about possible future problems.
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?
A．It is really a worrying thing to have a roommate.
B．It is difficult to get along well with a roommate.
C．It is your duty to help your roommate in his or her daily life.
D．It is very important for you and your roommate to understand each other.

I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development, I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.
Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.
It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.
Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample（樣本）of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeding style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.
I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.
小題1:What does the author think about Dr King?
A．He is strictB．He is unkind
C．He has the wrong idea.D．He sets a timetable for mothers
小題2:The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to __________.
A．basicB．reliableC．surprisingD．interesting
小題3:What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?
A．The baby will sleep well.
B．The baby will have its brain harmed.
C．The baby will have a low blood sugar level.
D．The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.
小題4:The author supports feeding the baby __________.
A．in the nightB．every four hours
C．whenever it wants foodD．a(chǎn)ccording to its blood sugar level

In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair-weather friends, who will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend? I look for certain qualities (品質(zhì)) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person’s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.
At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (過錯) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience (經(jīng)驗) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!
小題1: If you have fair-weather friends, _____.
A．they will give you all that they have when you need help
B．you will be refused when you get into trouble
C．you will become rich
D．you can be sure that you get real friends
小題2:Good friends need to ______.
A．a(chǎn)lways point out each other’s mistakes
B．be helped with money
C．understand each other’s feelings
D．have money or luck.
小題3: This passage mainly discusses ________.
A．the qualities of a friend
B．where to choose friends
C．how to get along with friends
D．the importance of having a friend

Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe．I had been abroad a couple of times， 36 I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent．Moreover， my  37 of foreign languages was  38 to a little college French．
