We often talk about ourselves as if we have permanent genetic defects(缺陷) that can never be changed. “I’m impatient.” “I’m always behind.” “I always put things !” You’ve surely heard them. Maybe you’ve used them to describe .
These comments may come from stories about us that have been for years—often from childhood. These stories may have no in fact. But they can set low expectations for us. As a child, my mother said to me, “Marshall, you have no mechanical （操作機(jī)械的） skills, and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life. ” How did these expectations my development? I was never to work on cars or be around . When I was 18, I took the US Army’s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation!
Six years later, , I was at California University, working on my doctor’s degree. One of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn’t do. For my strong points, I down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking. ” For the , I wrote, “I have no mechanical skills. ”
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills. I explained my life and told him about my performance on the Army test. Bob then asked, “ is it that you can solve mathematical problems, but you can’t solve easy mechanical problems?”
Suddenly I realized that I didn’t from some sort of genetic defect. I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to . At that point, it wasn’t just my family and friends who had been my belief that I was mechanically hopeless. And it wasn’t just the Army test, either. I was the one who kept telling myself, “You can’t do this!” I realized that as long as I kept saying that, it was going to remain true. , if we don’t treat ourselves as if we have genetic defects that we can never get over, we can do well in almost we choose.

Afternoon tea
People believe that an English lady, Anna, first introduced the idea of afternoon tea. In the 18th and 19th centuries. the English ate only two main meals each day ,breakfast and a heavy supper that would last for several hours in the evening. As a result, people often got very hungry during the long wait between these two meals. To solve this problem, Anna came up with the clever idea of inviting some friends to join her for an afternoon meal between four and five o'clock. This meal included cakes and sandwiches. and tea was served(提供)to wash down the food. In order to make this afternoon meal important, fine china cups and plates, and silver teapots. knives, forks and spoons were used .Soon, afternoon tea parties became popular social occasions. Today, afternoon tea parties continue to play an important part in the social life in modern Britain.
Will you come for coffee?
Coffee also has an important role in British culture. People often use the words“Will you come for coffee?” to mean “Would you like to come to my home for a chat?” Normally, several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange Juice will be served as well as coffee. and you will be asked what you would like. However, you will not normally be offered wine at a "coffee" party.

If you want to keep healthy, you should have good habits. What is a habit? It is something we do very often. We don’t even think when we do it. It has become a part of our lives.
“Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” This is an old English saying. Do you know what it means? It means that we must go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning. If we do, we shall be healthy, rich and clever.
Is this true? Perhaps it is. We know the body must have enough sleep. Boys and girls need eight or nine hours’ sleep every day.
Some people go to bed late at night and get up late in the morning. This is a very bad habit. Then you will not think or do your work well. Of course, you can’t be healthy, wealthy or wise.
When we get up early in the morning, we can go out and do morning exercises. Exercise means doing things with the body. Walking, running jumping, swimming, and playing ball games are all exercise. If we don’t exercise, our body will become weak.
Exercise helps the blood (血液) to move around inside our body. Blood takes food to all parts of our body.

When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.
People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.
People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.
Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts（白內(nèi)障）. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.
When night falls, colors become fainter（不清楚） to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.
1.We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.
A. we think about our eyes B. we cannot see clearly
C. we wear glasses D. we have to do much reading[來(lái)源:Z,xx,k.Com]
2.According to the passage, a ________ is more likely to be nearsighted.
A. student B. runner C. guard D. worker
3. People who are farsighted ________ .
A. cannot do a lot of close work without glasses
B. can only see things that are very close to their eyes
C. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length
D. have the same problem as the nearsighted people
4. To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________ .
A. with wide open eyes B. with half shut or narrowed eyes
C. straight at it D. in a slightly different direction

When I was learning calligraphy my teacher told me a story．
A calligrapher taught handwriting．One or his students who often practised handwritihg with old sheets of newspaper complained that he made very little progress though he had learned it with the calligrapher for a long time．His teacher said to him,“Try to use the best paper．Maybe you’ll write better．”
The student did as he was told．It really worked．He made headway not long afterwards and felt curious．He asked his teacher about the reason．The calligrapher answered,“When you used old newspaper to practise handwriting ,you would think you were writing a draft．It didn’t matter if you wrote badly as old newspaper was plenty in supply．In that case you wouldn’t pay much attention to it．Now you use the best paper and you ’ll treasure it．Each time you write you feel strongly about the rarity of chances and you’ll devote to it with all your heart and soul ; you’ll do the handwritihg much more attentively than practising．Of course you’ve made rapid progress．”
Indeed , we spend our ordihary days just as they are worthless “ old newspaper ”．We don’t care if we scrawl and waste it ,thinking that it will come endlessly---the “ old newspaper ” is inexhaustible．In such a mood we may each day pass by opportunities but fail to catch any of them．
Life is not a military exercise but an actual war in which real weapons are used ．In everyday life there’s no chance for us to draft．That’s because what we call“draft” actually is the answer sheet we write that cannot be changed．
Every day of our life is something new．Let us take every day as a sheet of the best paper．
46．The calligrapher in the story told the student to write on the best paper because he thought ．
A．the student would practise more carefully on the best paper
B．it was comfortable to write on the best paper
C．the student had enough money to buy the best paper
D．the student could write more on the best paper
47．The student didn’t make much progress at first because ．
A．he regarded his writihg on old newspaper just as a draft
B．he was too poor to buy better paper to write on
C．he didn’t follow his teacher’s advice
D．he was not used to the calligrapher’s teaching manner
48．We learn from the passage that ．
A．the student finally gave up
B．the student made rapid progress by practising more carefully
C．the caligrapher was strict with his students
D．old newspaper is not useful
49．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．What teachers say is always true．
B．Success calls for attentiveness．

50．The writer want to tell us that ．
