8.How to live life to the fullest
"Life is like a box of chocolates.You never know what you're going to get."But for those who take critical decisions,life can be different.How true that is!Stare life in the face as you experience it like a roller coaster ride.(36)G Life is made up of choices and decision-making is critical as each choice has both consequences and benefits.Please weigh the latter and always choose life.Always ask what you can learn and how you can move forward,and stop yourself from blaming other people if things aren't the way you would like them to be.
Seize the day.(37)E Yesterday is history,tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift-that's why it's called the present.Life presents us with a lifetime of opportunities,but the opportunities of a lifetime are got when right choices are followed.Be present to enjoy the moment.Each day is a fresh start with choices just waiting to be explored,so what are you waiting for?
(38)B This is a great way to live life.It means accepting your present the way it is,and offering no resistance to it.However,it does not mean not trying to change it.It means being truly yourself,accepting the present around you,then trying to change it.Often ask yourself:"Has my resistance helped me in any way?"Remember:"Life goes on."
Accept yourself.Don't judge yourself.This is the very first step you must take if you really want to live life to the fullest.Why?Because if you're judging yourself or thinking part of you is wrong,you'll limit yourself.(39)F
(40)A No matter what the situation you find yourself in,always be focused on what you can be learning from it,how you can be growing,and what you can be taking away from it,so that you can respond to similar situations more effectively in the future.
A.Always be learning.B.Fully accept the present.C.Go on enjoying your life.D.Show a positive attitude.E.Live each day as if it's your last day.F.And if you limit yourself,you can't live life to the fullest.G.The meaning of your life is something you create day after day with your own actions and thoughts.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了幾條建議關(guān)于如何過的充實,你生命的意義就在于你如復一日的通過自己的選擇和決定去創(chuàng)造.

解答 36.G.考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)本段后文Life is made up of choices and decision-making is critical as each choice has both consequences and benefits可知這里主要表示人生要自己做選擇,自己做決定,而選項G意為"你生命的意義就在于你如復一日的通過自己的選擇和決定去創(chuàng)造",符合語境,故選G.
37.E.考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)前面的標題Seize the day可知這段主要講述要把握今天,而選項E表示把每個今天當成自己人生中的最后一天來生活,符合語境,故選E.
38.B.考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)后文It means accepting your present the way it is,可知這段話表示要接受現(xiàn)在的生活,才能去創(chuàng)造更好的生活,而選項B意為"完全接受生活",符合語境,故選B.
39.F.考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)前文Because if you're judging yourself or thinking part of you is wrong,you'll limit yourself,可知我們不能限制我們自己,否則會享受不到生活的快了,而選項F正符合這個意思,故選F.
40.A.考查上下文聯(lián)系.根據(jù)后文always be focused on what you can be learning from it,可知這段講述的是在生活中我們要無時無刻不去學習東西,而選項A就是這個意思,故選A.

點評 七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀,和完形填空很類似,不同的是一個選詞,一個選句子.解題時,要注意上下文語境,充分考慮信息詞(選項中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞),選出最符合語境的句子.

3.The Winner's Guide to Success
Do you know what makes people successful?To find out the answers,an American reporter recently visited some of the most successful people around the world.(36)G

Never give up.
(40)B
When you are doing something,you must tell yourself again and again:Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success,but giving up means the death of hope.

A.A good plan is like a map to you.
B.It seems to us that everyone knows this,but it is easier said than done.

3.We all know that money can't buy happiness.No matter how much we earn,or how nice our clothing or cars or toys are,none of it will make us happier.(36)Cand the sad thing is that it could take us decades of pursuing wealth and luxury(奢侈) items before we realize this.

13.There are times in life when things don't go as expected.Perhaps an important project of yours ended up in failure.Or you got laid off from your job.Whatever it is,it might make you depressed.But you need to get things back under control.You need to keep moving forward.(36)C.In this way,you can face the situation with a positive attitude.How to feel better?Here are some tips to make yourself feel better when you're depressed:

2.(38)E
When you're depressed,it's easy to fall into a cycle of negative thoughts,which makes things look worse than they actually are.It's important that you break this cycle so that you don't become a victim of your own thoughts.You may read spiritual texts,motivational books,or inspiring quotes.You may also listen to positive tapes.

20.Most people who move to a foreign country or culture may experience a period of time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of stress.This feeling is often called‘culture shock'(56)G There are four general stages of cultural adjustment.
The first stage is usually referred to as the excitement stage.Upon arriving in a new environment,you'll be interested in the new culture,everything will seem exciting,everyone will seem friendly and helpful and you'll be overwhelmed(不知所措) with impressions.(57).Cand you have little meaningful experience of the culture.
The second stage is sometimes called the withdrawal stage.The excitement you felt before changes to frustration (沮喪)as you find it difficult to deal with the problems that arise.simple things like shopping and going to the bank are challenges.It is at this stage that you are likely to feel anxious homesick.(58)B
Culture shock doesn't exist long.You gradually get into the‘recovery'stage.At this point,you'll have a routine,and you'll feel less lonely as you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment.Customs and traditions are clearer and easier to understand.(59)F
The last stage is the‘home'stage-this is the point when people start to feel at home in the new culture.
There is a fifth stage to this process.If you decide to return home after a long period in a new culture,you may experience what is called‘reverse culture shock'.(60)E you may notice things about your home culture that you had never noticed before,and some of the ways people do things may seem strange.

A.It is a great challenge to learn the totally new culture.
B.This is the stage which is referred to as"culure shock"
C.During this stage you are taking in these impressions passively
D.Some people experience"culture shock"more sharply than others.
E.This means that you may find aspects of your own culture"foreign"
F.At this stage,you'll deal with new challenges with humor rather than anxiety.
G.It's important to learn how to deal with it if you're to adapt to the new culture.

17.What do the world's most successful people all have in common?
By examining the work habits of over 150greatest writers and artists and scientists,the researchers including Stanford professor Jeffrey Pfeiffer found that high achievers like Robert Moses turned out to be all alike:
Busy!Busy!
(31)D In a study of general managers in industry,John Kotter reports that many of them work 60to 65hours per week-which translates into at least six 10-hour days.The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures.Energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power.
Just Say No!
The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say"no"to almost everything.And that's what gives them the time to accomplish so much.(32)B And focus means saying"no"to a lot of distractions (分神).
(33)F
Ignore your weaknesses and keep improving your strengths.Don't waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence.Instead,focus on-and build on-your strengths.This means knowing who you are,what you are and what you are good at.
Create Good Luck!
(34)G There's a science to it.Richard Wiseman studies lucky people for his book Luck Factor,and breaks down what they do right.Certain personality types are luckier because they behave in a way that offers the chance for good opportunities.By being more outgoing,open to new ideas,following the feeling that something is true,and being optimistic,lucky people create possibilities.
Does applying these principles to your life actually work?Wiseman created a"luck school"to test the ideas-and it was a success.In total,80percent of the people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased.(35)C

A.Spend enough time to improve your weakness.
B.Achievement requires focus.
C.On average,these people reported that their luck had increased by more than 40percent.
D.They never stop working and they never lose a minute.
E.Busy people are more likely to be lucky.
F.Know What You Are!
G.Luck isn't magical.

18.What's critical thinking?(56)EDeveloping critical thinking skills in a child through the right critical thinking exercises is very important.
(57)C Critical thinking is to evaluate(評價)the reason behind a particular fact.All possible viewpoints must be thought about before analyzing a fact,and this develops problem-solving skills in a child.
(58)G
Quiz your child.Ask your child about daily activities that he does in the school.Quiz him about certain things that do not have a single correct answer.(59)A Keep on telling your child simple information about nature,like the seasons when flowers bloom.You can either ask him questions or just explain to him in a casual way.
Recognize and classify.For critical thinking,your child must learn to recognize important information that is closely connected with the subject.Classification of things on a certain firm and logical basis of information is included in the critical thinking ability.Colorful toys or images can be included in teaching critical thinking.(60)F
Critical thinking exercises are not intended to make your child intelligent,but it is about making him successful in his decision-making ability and helping him make a successful career.Although thinking habits are cultivated(培養(yǎng))in early childhood through exercises,they are indeed helpful for a lifetime.

A.This will increase his ability to think about the things he's just learned in class.
B.Toys that will make your kids exercise can help you develop your thinking.
C.Critical thinking develops the ability of subjective analysis of a particular fact.
D.The following tips are for you to develop your critical thinking at home.
E.Critical thinking is defined(定義)as thinking logically and developing an ability to  ask questions or ask for evidence for a particular subject.
F.Ask your child to identify the names of the flowers,fruits and animals from a colorful chart.
G.Here are some exercises you can use to encourage your child to think critically.
