unit 16 b卷一、阅读理解amary mcguirewien and her husband，charles wildbank，had been searching for a new home on long island for more than a year，but every place theyd seen was either unsuitable or unaffordable.after one long sunday of unsuccessful househunting with their agent，the couple were anxious to get back home，but got stuck at a traffic light right next to an old barn that was being repaired.“a guy in a hard hat looked over at us and said，are you looking for a house ？”says mary.though the barn didnt look like a houseit didnt even have any visible windowsmary and her husband got out to take a look.the building turned out to be loftlike，with beautiful historical details(including backfacing windows)“a normal family probably wouldnt want it，”says mary.“but it was absolutely perfect for us because we needed a space where i could have a yoga(瑜伽)retreat，and where charles could paint.”they agreed to buy the place from the construction worker，who turned out to be the barns owner.mary and charles could be considered fortunatewhat are the chances that the owner would stop them when they were most in need of a home？and yet，they were the ones who agreed to investigate an unlikely prospect.their openmindedness turned a strange moment into a lucky break.people who find and seize opportunities are different.they are more open to lifes forking(分叉的)paths，so they see possibilities others miss.and if things dont work out the way theyd hoped，they brush_off disappointment and launch themselves toward the next fortunate circumstance.as a result，theyre happier and more likely to achieve their goals.psychologists are figuring out why some people always seem to miss incredible opportunities.their insights can help us all lead luckier lives.1why did the house attract the couple?ait was suitable for investment.bthe price of it was low.cit had a good location.dit was suitable for both of them.2according to the text，mary and charles_.acan easily find and seize

far the most common difficulty in studying is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work.this difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine(常规)of study.many students just do a bit of this subject or that，as the mood takes them，or let their work pile up until the last possible moment.few students work to a set a timetable.they say that even if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it，or would have to change it frequently，since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.no doubt some students are more willing to accept a regular routine than others.but there are many who shy away from a selfcontrolled weekly timetable，and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work.many able students state that they work in cycles.when they become interested in a topic，they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time.on other days they avoid work completely.it has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation to work.most people over 25 years of age have become used to routine，and the majority of real productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work.the“toughminded”school doesnt fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally，under the influence of inspiration.those who believe that they need only work and study as_the_fit_takes_them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of“freedom”in fact，freedom from control and discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to“selfexpression”or“personality development”our society insists on regular habits，timekeeping and punctuality(准时)，and whether we like it or not，if we mean to make our way in society，we have to meet demands.5the most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is _.achanging from one subject to anotherbthe failure to keep to a set timetable of workcthe unwillingness to finish his set workdworking on a subject only when one feels like it6which of the following is true according to the passage?amany students are not interested in using selfcontrolled timetable.bmany students insist that high motivation leads to great efficiency.cmost people over 25 years of age dont work to a set timetable.dtoughminded people agree that a good job is done naturally with inspiration.7the underlined part“as the fit takes them”(in paragraph 4)means“_”awhen they are encouragedbwhen they are in the moodcwhen they feel healthydwhen the conditions are suitable8the best title for the passage might be“_”aattitudes to studyba study plancthe difficulties in studyingdstudy and selfdiscipline二、任务型读写阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。world no tobacco day is
