You only have five more radiation treatments to go. ” I held my wife Becky close.Ever since the breast cancer diagnosis(诊断), she had tried hard to be strong for the kids and for me. When her diagnosis came, my first thought was there was no way I could lose my wife. The doctors assured us the cancer was discovered early so we were feeling positive.Becky had received an operation and was recovering from it. After six weeks of radiation therapy(治疗), she was facing her final five treatments. She was weak and tired, in low spirits. Seeing her suffering, I felt so helpless and powerless.As soon as I was outside, longheld frustration and anger erupted in me like a volcano. I took a hammer and suddenly was swinging as hard as I could, beating heavily on the front porch(门廊). While doing so, I imagined I was beating my wifes cancer. With all my strength, I destroyed the porch.During the treatment, my wife had been very brave. She said she had it easy, but I dont think it was easy for her.Seeing the porch gone, Becky shook her head at the window. I came into the room, not knowing how she would react to what I had done.“Becky, are you mad at me？” She looked at me in surprise. “For what？” I pointed at the gate. “For tearing down the porch.” She laughed. “Look how sunny this room is now. I love that its bright in here.”“You comforted me in my darker hour, Vince. Youve found a way to deal with your own frustration. By destroying the porch, you let the sunshine in.”As I looked around the brightened room, I realized the light that filled the space was the light of hope that shone so bright after the darkness. We never did re-build the porch.24When the diagnosis came out, _Athe author had little hope that his wife would surviveBthe author was determined to save his wifes lifeCthe authors wife refused to receive radiation treatmentsDthe author felt lucky that his wifes disease was not serious25The author went outside to destroy the porch because _Ahe wanted to release his frustrationBhe was disappointed with his wifeChe intended to let sunshine inDhis wife didnt like it at all26How did the authors wife feel about him seeing the porch gone?ASympathetic BAngry CUnderstanding DHappy27What lesson can we learn from the passage?ATragedy cannot separate loving couple.BA day without sunshine is like night.CTrue love is based on understanding.DNothing is impossible for a willing heart.CWe often think of the great inventors such as Thomas Edison or Steve Jobs as the “creative”. Or we read stories like that of Elizabeth Holmes, who developed a simpler, less painful way to test blood, which has turned her into the youngest female billionaire in the world.Creativity and innovation in the day-to-day life start with looking at things differently and taking on the perspectives(观点) of the others. After youve taken the view of the others, start testing. New perspectives on problems can give you lots of ideas about how to improve things, but until you try some of those ideas you will never know which is the right choice. Dont get stuck in analyzing all of your options without testing at least some of them first. If testing isnt really feasible（可行的）with your specific situation, talk to a number of different people about your ideas and problems.Once you have the data and feedback, give yourself some space to think. One thing we can learn from some of the great creative thinkers of our time is that they take time away from work to think and let their ideas develop. There is a story of Newton who mistook his watch for an egg and had it boiling while he was lost in thought in his workshop. Creativity and innovation arent just for the special few who are blessed with the insight into future. We cant all be like Henry Ford, knowing that while customers say they want faster horses, what they really want are powered cars. But we can learn to develop creative thinking in everything we do.Talk to others about your perspective and the importance of testing and feedback and show your passion for innovating in all areas to get help from them. That good mindset, along with your ability to follow through, will accelerate your success.28. What is the similarity of the great people according to Paragraph 1?A. They earned a lot of money later.B. They worked hard and never gave up.C. They had new ideas and methods.D. They spent a lot of time thinking.29.

Not since the Industrial Revolution has managing with change been so urgent a matter. Indeed, the Information Age has accelerated the pace of market and business changes to the point where some firms have set up change departments whose job is to constantly look for opportunities to change the firm and make it more productive.Most firms have accepted the fact that they must make major changes. To remain competitive, companies recognize that they need to be in a constant process of changing themselves. This change is accompanied by the need to be willing to take risks in management style. Managers with such spirit have called themselves change agents.Despite some remarkable successes, however, introducing managing change has not been a simple matter. Firms have tried to introduce change to achieve its attendant efficiencies (节省幵支）through new technologies, restructuring, or outsourcing. Yet, this has cost a great deal of time and money, but often led to at best mixed results: approximately 75% of all change activities failed.The reason for most of these failures is that change often lacks a central focus. Managers become confused by all different and sometimes conflicting advice they receive about change management. The result is a loss of central focus and disorganized policies. To improve their chances of success, it is extremely important that managers should understand the nature and process of the whole companys change and its challenges much better.32.What is the article mainly about?A. Developing strong marketing plans.B. Bringing in top technologies.C. Ways for companies to hire better managers.D.

Managers are conservative.B. Not enough attention is paid.C. Employees generally fight change.D. Policies are not well directed.35.What does the article suggest managers do?A. Spend more time and money.B. Improve their knowledge.C. Buy more advanced technologies.D. Face their challenge directly.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Do you want to put a smile on someones face?
