It is said that a person has about 6,000 thoughts every day, Yet, of the 6,000 thoughts you have today, ninety percent of these are the same as the 6,000 you had yesterday and the day before, leaving little room for new thoughts. No wonder life can seem tedious at times. Unless you start to think differently, you are to continue to create and repeat the same old reality every day. Is it not time to change your thoughts, enliven your dreams and let reality catch up?

Most of our thoughts and actions are habits, and we go thought the same motions each day, with little change in our behaviors or outlook. What would happen if you challenged these habits or customs? What if you were to step out of your comfort zone and explore new ideas or new ways or doing things? Would your life not change as a result?

Thought is a form of energy. Does this energy keep you forward or hold you back? You have a choice about the thoughts you think. How many times in the past have you chosen to disregard your positive thoughts and focus on your negative(消極的) thoughts? At this moment, if you were to be at ease and to focus on your positive thoughts while discounting your negative thoughts, how would your life change?

To realize your dreams, pay attention to what is happening around you. Be curious. Notice how your thoughts about yourself, your thoughts about others and your thoughts about what others may be thinking of you influence and what you are able to achieve. Start to think, see and experience things, people, places and events in new ways. Recognize what happens when you begin to think differently about yourself and what you are capable of achieving.

1. thoughts per minute you had are the same as yesterday and the day before.

A．About 40 B．Over 5,400

C．About 4 D．Over 100

2.The author thinks our life changes very little because

A．we have too many new ideas

B．we have only a few new ideas

C．we never have new ideas

D．we change our ideas from time to time

3.The best title for the passage would be

A．The Power of Thought

B．Think Before You Take Actions

C．New world Comes From New Ideas

D．Never Think of Yourself Only

4.The underlined word “tedious” may share the same meaning with “ ”.

A．stupid B．colorful

C．strange D．boring

5.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A．To tell people some facts of our thoughts.

B．To encourage us to change our habit of thinking.

試題分析：本文是一篇議論文。主要講的是我們的想法和思考是一種習(xí)慣，是能量的表現(xiàn)形式。今天90%的想法都和昨天的或者是前天的是一樣的。這些想法主要取決于你自己，好的可以激勵你鼓勵你，壞的可以阻礙你擊垮你，所以你要掌控好自己得想法。

1. 細(xì)節(jié)題。從第一段“ninety percent of these are the same as the 6,000 you had yesterday and the day before,” 今天6000個(gè)想法中90%的想法都和昨天的或者是前天的是一樣的，題目問的是每分鐘多少個(gè)，所以是（6000×90%）/（24×60）=3.75，故選C。

2. 細(xì)節(jié)題。從第一段“l(fā)eaving little room for new thoughts.”和第二段“we go thought the same motions each day, with little change in our behaviors or outlook. ”我們每天考慮相同的動作行為，有很少的新想法，所以生活也改變的很少，故選B。

3. 主旨題。本文主要是講的思考與想法的無限能力，它甚至能影響到你成功與否，從最后一段“Notice how your thoughts about yourself, your thoughts about others and your thoughts about what others may be thinking of you influence and what you are able to achieve.”關(guān)注你對自己的看法，你對別人的看法和你覺得的別人對你的看法，以及你想在哪方面取得成功。故選A。

4. 猜詞題。A愚笨的；B多姿多彩的；C奇怪的；D無聊的。從第一段前面提到我們的想法每天有90%和之前的相同和后面的“Unless you start to think differently, you are to continue to create and repeat the same old reality every day.”除非你開始想的不同，你繼續(xù)每天重復(fù)同樣的老現(xiàn)實(shí)，可推斷生活有時(shí)是很無聊的，故選D。

5. 主旨題。從第二段“explore new ideas or new ways or doing things”挖掘新的想法和做事的新方法，第三段“You have a choice about the thoughts you think.”你有資格選擇你要什么樣的想法，最后一段“Start to think, see and experience things, people, places and events in new ways”以一種全新的方式開始思考，觀察并且經(jīng)歷身邊的事，人，地方�？芍髡呤窍牍膭钗覀兏淖兾覀兣f的思考習(xí)慣，故選B。

You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is firm and young-looking. In 2035, medical technology is better than ever. Many people could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of you look the same age!

You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.

You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, “You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk and it knows the milk is old. In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.

It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.
