As I was rounding a bend I saw a rock in the middle of the road. As I slowed to go around it, I noticed that it had a head and was staring up at me. It was a turtle who had decided to warm up by sunbathing on the road. I pulled over to the side of the road and picked up the sunbather. I knew if I moved the turtle off to the side of the road he would just crawl back to the warmer spot as soon as I left. Not knowing what else to do then I carried him to my car and placed him on the passenger seat. When I finally made it home, I picked up the sunbather again and headed to the woods behind my house. After looking around a bit I saw a clear spot where the sun was shining down on a single rock. I gently placed the turtle down on it and took a few steps back. A few minutes later the head slowly came out and started enjoying the sun once more. I smiled and headed back to my house. My simple act of kindness may not have seemed like much in the eyes of the world, but it made a difference in the life of one turtle and in the heart of one man. Most of us go through our lives wanting to make some big difference in this world. However, any kind act makes a difference. Remember this the next time you see a person or a turtle needing a helping hand. 56. What was the authors first impression of the turtle? A. It was pitiful. B. It was a rock. C. It was lovely. D. It was very cold. 57. The author didnt move the turtle off to the side of the road mainly because . A. he was worried that it would be killed. B. he thought others would take it home.

Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation the Macintosh a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions (远见) of the future began to diverge (to be different) and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was destructive. I really didnt know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs（企业家）down. I even thought about running away from the valley（硅谷）. But something slowly began to dawn on me I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over. I didnt see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life. During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated(动画) feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apples current renaissance（复兴）. Im pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadnt been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Dont lose faith. Im convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. Youve got to find what you love. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you havent found it yet, keep looking. Dont settle. As with all matters of the heart, youll know when you find it. So keep looking until you find it. Dont settle. 60. Which of the following is TRUE about Apple? A. It rejected one of its founders when he turned 30. B. It once fell apart due to different visions of the future. C. NeXT became its parent company and made a great comeback. D. It has survived after it had a destructive blow. 61. The underlined phrase could be replaced by . A. a complete change B. a huge debt C. quarrel D. race 62. What did Steve Jobs learn from his failure at Apple? 北京利德智达文化发展有限公司 电话网址： A. He realized how to get along well with partners. B. He lost what had been the focus of his adult life. C. It helped him figure out what he loves. D. It helped redirect the entire course of his life. 63.

A. patience B. faith C. inspiration D. luck C W is the UKs biggest and best online guide to the performing arts including theatre, opera, classical music, dance ballet, comedy and so on.

D Listen carefully, working people, we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free! Its “no”. What do you ask? Well say it again: “no”. Sweet and simple “no”. Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears. “Saying no to others means you are saying yes to yourself.” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan. “Time is precious. People are spending money buying time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we cant say no.” Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt or fear of punishment. “I would rather have someone give me a loving no than an obligated (有义务的) yes,” she said. Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all,” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury Connecticut. “Most people are afraid of saying no. My advice is to say yes only if you dont mean no.” Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your timeOther people are happy to use up your time.” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “nos” greatest friend. “No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”. “No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying no isnt easy.
