14．We often talk about ourselves as if we have genetic（基因的） defects（缺陷） that can never be changed．"I'm impatient．""I'm always behind．""I always put things （41）C!"You've surely heard them．Maybe you've used them to describe （42）A．
These comments may come from stories about us that have been （43）Bfor years-often from （44）D childhood．These stories may have no （45）D in fact．But they can set low expectations for us．As a child，my mother said to me，"Marshall，you have no mechanical （操作機械的） skills，and you will never have any mechanical skills for the rest of your life．"How did these expectations  （46）B my development？I was never （47）Cto work on cars or be around  （48）_A．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，（49）C_，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（50）A down，"research，writing，analysis，and speaking．"For the （51）B，I wrote，"I have no mechanical skills．"
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills．I explained my life  （52）C  and told him about my （53）D performance on the Army test．Bob then asked，"（54）A   is it that you can solve （55）C  mathematical problems，but you can't solve easy mechanical problems？"
Suddenly I realized that I didn't （56）B from some sort of genetic defect．I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to （57）C．At that point，it wasn't just my family and friends who had been  （58）Amy 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．（59）C，if we don't treat ourselves as if we have genetic defects that we can never get over，we can do well in almost （60）B  we choose．

2．Every year，about 600 monkeys are invited to eat fruits and vegetables during an yearly feast in Thailand．（36）BIt is said that Roma once rewarded his friend Hanuman，the Monkey King，with some sand．Organizers of the annual Monkey Buffet use more than 3000 kg of fruits and vegetables to prepare for the feast．

9．Anna Schiferl hadn't even got out of bed when she reached for her cell phone and typed a text to her mum，one recent Saturday．Mom was right downstairs in the kitchen．The text？Anna wanted an egg for breakfast．Soon after，Joanna Schiferl called，"If you want to talk to me，Anna，come downstairs and see me？"Anna laughs about it now．"I was kind of being lazy，"she admits．
    These days，many people with cell phones prefer texting to a phone call．And that's creating a communication divide-the talker vs．the texters．Some would argue that it's no big deal．But many experts say the most successful communicators will，of course，have the competence to do both．And they fear that more of us are unable to have-or at least are avoiding-the traditional face-to-face conversations．
    Many professors say it is not common to see students outside of class．"I sit in my office hours lonely now because if my students have a question，they email me，often late at night，"says Rence Hosuton，a professor at the University of Puget Sound in Washington state．"And they never call．"
    As Anna sees it："There are people you'll text，but won't call．It's just a way to stay in touch with each other．"Some believe that scores of texts each day keep people more connected．"The problem is that conversation is not very deep，"says Joseph Grenny，co-author of the book Cultural Conversations：Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High．
"The problem has been there since we've had telephones-probably since the time of a telegraph，"Grenny says．Texting is just the latest way to do that．Though they may not always be so good at deep conversations themselves，Grenny suggests that parents model the behavior for their children and put down their own cell phones．He says that they also should set limits，as Anna's mom did when she made the"no texting to people in the same house"rule．
28．According to Paragraph 1，JoannaA．
A．was very strict with her daughter            
B．did not know how to use a cell phone
C．was angry that her daughter got up late       
D．did not have any breakfast that morning
29．Which statement about Rence's students is true？C
A．They often work late at night．
B．They often ask stran ge questions．
C．Few ask questions face to face．
D．Many email her if she feels lonely．
30．In Joseph Grenny's opinion，D．
A．cell phone makes people lonelier
B．telephone help people communicate clearly
C．texting helps people have deeper conversations
D．talking should be encouraged instead of texting
31．What is the main idea of the text？C
A．It tells us a wonderful experience of Anna Schiferl．
B．It introduces a new tool used for communication．
C．It discusses the problem caused by sending texts．
D．It talks about the important role of phones in our life．

6．Tips for Improving Self-esteem（自尊）
Self-esteem plays a role in almost everything you do．People with high esteem do better in school and find it easier to make friends．They tend to have better relationships with peers and adults，feel happier，find it easier to deal with mistakes，disappointments and failures，and are more likely to stick with something until they succeed．

★Have fun．Enjoy spending time with the people you care about and do the things you love．（40）G．

3．In the past ten years，America's National Basketball Association （NBA） has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players．
   When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992，the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball．This season，however，20 percent of NBA name lists will be filled by non-Americans．NBA commissioner David Stern happily embraces the trend．On a visit to Paris in October，Stern outlined his view for the future，which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010．
   The NBA is now planning to take China by storm．
"Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth，"said Stern．The strategy（戰(zhàn)略，策略） in China is television．"We've made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite．"The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China．The NBA，which is broadcast in more than 200 countries in 42 languages，will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai．The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil．
"It doesn't matter where the players come from，all the NBA teams now know that they have to find internationally，"said Terry Lyons，the NBA's vice-president of international public relations．"It has increased the level of competition here．"As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season，many people can earn the respect of their American peers．Others，such as the Houston Rockets'Chinese centre Yao Ming-number one draft pick in 2002-and the Detroit Pistons'18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic-number two overall in this year's draft-are icons（偶像）in-waiting．It is the last revolution-the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball．
28．It can be inferred from the passage thatC．．
A．European countries will host the 2004 NBA games
B．Yao Ming is to play two pre-season games in NBA
C．the part played by the foreign players in NBA will be great
