In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was a Mrs. Dorothy Slaton. Mrs. Slaton was a _22_, demanding teacher with high standards and a low _23_ for excuses. She refused to treat her students like _24_, instead expecting them to behave like the _25_ adults they would have to be to succeed in the real world after graduation. Jean was _26_ of her at first but grew to respect her firmness and fairness gradually. One day Mrs. Slaton gave the class a written _27_. What do you think youll be doing 10 years from now?” Jeans dream was to be a pilot like her father, but as the years went by, she had been beaten down by the _28_ and negative words she got whenever she talked about her career, so she unwillingly gave it up and wrote something else. Mrs. Slaton collected the papers and nothing more was said. Two weeks later, the teacher handed back the assignments, _29_ the students to face it down on the desk, and asked this question: If you had enough finances and unlimited _30_, what would you do? Please write it on the _31_ of your previous assignment paper.”When the students stopped writing, the teacher asked, How many of you wrote the same thing on _32_ sides of the paper? Not one hand went up. The next thing that Mrs. Slaton said changed the course of Jeans life. The teacher leaned forward _33_ her desk and said, I have a little secret for you all. You do have unlimited abilities and talents. You do have access to the finest schools, and you can arrange unlimited finances if you want something _34_ enough. This is it! When you leave school, _35_ you dont _36_ your dreams, no one will do it for you. You can have _37_ you want if you want it enough.” What her teacher said touched Jean so much! In the following years, she tried her best to realize her dream of becoming a pilot. Although it didnt happen _38_, she finally became one of the first three female pilot trainees ever _39_ by United Airlines. Today, Jean Harper is a Boeing 737 captain for United. It was the power of one well-placed _40_ word that gave that uncertain young girl the strength and faith to pursue her dream. 21. A. touchedB. attractedC. effectedD. moved22.

What was going through your mind as you were going through that negativity (消极)? Was your mind cluttered with (充斥) different kinds of thoughts? Or was it paralyzed, unable to think?The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time, or you feel angry or frustrated, stop. Yes, thats right, stop. Whatever youre doing, stop and sit for one minute. While youre sitting there, completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion. Allow that emotion to consume you. Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion. Dont cheat yourself here. Take the entire minutebut only one minuteto do nothing else but feel that emotion. When the minute is over, ask yourself, “Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day?”Once youve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it, you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly. If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer, that is OK. Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion. When you feel youve had enough of the emotion, ask yourself if youre willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day. If not, take a deep breath. As you exhale, release all that negativity with your breath. This exercise seems simplealmost too simple. But, it is very effective. By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt, you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it. You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs. When you immerse yourself in the emotion, and realize that it is only emotion, it loses its control. You can clear your head and proceed with your task.41. Which one does not belong to the negative emotion?A. anxiety B. confusion C. depression D. sorrow 42. What should you do when you are into negativity according to the article?A. Listen to some music. B. Ignore it and do something else. C. Just do nothing and truly feel that emotion. D. Think about it and try to deal with it immediately. 43. The underlined word “immerse” (Paragraph 2) most probably means _. A. break down B. get rid of C. cut off D. throw into 44. Whats the best title of this text?A. Clear Your Mental Space. B. Deep Breath, Trouble Away. C. Try to Avoid the Negative Emotion. D. Keep Holding on to This Negative Emotion as Long as Possible. 45. The authors opinion towards negative emotion is _.A. doubtful B. optimistic C. frightened D. confused BIt was a long process that involved creating a resume, submitting an online application（申请） and attending a round of interviews. Naturally Tan Kaiyin, a 21-year-old student is excited when she was selected, as more than 660, 000 people signed up to volunteer at the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, but only less than 10 percent were finally chosen to work in the venues and wear the white and green sport uniforms. Like in any major sporting event, volunteers play a vital role in assisting with operations and Tans function here is not any different. She is based at the Garden Hotel and is tasked with helping guests and officials who have issues with their accreditation cards（注册卡）. I deal with guests from all over the world, I have never met so many international people and it is very, very exciting to have this opportunity to interact with them. They come to the office because they need to make a change in their accreditation card and usually they are in a hurry, so we try our best to get it done quickly.” She admits the first few days involved extremely long hours, however she likes the challenge as it gives her an immense sense of satisfaction especially when an irate guest turns a frown into a smile and says thank you. Tan deals with people from different cultures and personalities and feels she has learned so much in the past week, an experience that she would have never gotten if not for the Guangzhou Asian Games, therefore she is very happy and grateful for being a part of this. She also has kind words for her managers and fellow colleagues and says the hard work and positive atmosphere has bonded them into a family. She enjoys her responsibilities so much that she is afraid of feeling lost when the Games finally end on Nov. 27. However, she is aware of all the positive effects the Games have had on Guangzhou. From improvements to air and water quality to better transportation and infrastructure in the city, but most importantly to her is the fact that the Asian Games has placed Guangzhou prominently onto the world map. This, she believes, will encourage people from all over the world to continue visiting her city, and this in turn will give the residents of Guangzhou a fantastic opportunity to continue learning about different cultures. The official Asian Games Volunteer Slogan is, Together, we can make it better! Indeed it seems they can. 46. What can we learn from the text?A. At most 660, 000 people signed up to volunteer at the 16th Asian Games. B. It is not difficult to be selected as a volunteer at the 16th Asian Games. C. Tan felt excited to have the opportunity to interact with people from all over the world. D. It is very easy for Tan to do the voluntary work. 47. What makes Tan feel happy and grateful for being part of Guangzhou Asian Games?A. She experienced a lot and learned so much in her workB. She earned a large amount of money C. She learned different culturesD. She dealt with people from different personalities. 48. In Tans opinion, what is NOT the positive effects the Games have had on GuangzhouA. Improvements of air and water quality and better transportationB. Asian Games has place Guangzhou prominently onto the world map. C.The Game will give the residents of Guangzhou a fantastic opportunity to continue learning about different cultures. D. It disturbs peoples normal life who are living in Guangzhou. 49. Which word is not suitable to describe Tan?A. brave B. optimistic C. responsible D. depressedCAll parents tell their children little white lies from time to time. “Of course Father Christmas comes down the chimney!” “Eat your spinach youll get as strong as Popeye.”. . . and so on. However, theres one fib thats bigger than all the others. Its “I dont have a favorite child.”In his fascinating new book, The Sibling Effect: What Bonds Among Brothers and Sisters Reveal About Us, Jeffrey Kluger, a father of two daughters, aged eight and ten, claims that “ 95 percent of parents in the world have a favorite child and the other 5 percent are lying.”Kluger may be exaggerating the figures for dramatic effect but despite every parents vehement（激烈的）denial that they have a favorite child scientific research shows that he is not far off the truth. According to one recent study by researchers from the University of California which followed 384 sibling pairs and their parents for three years 65 percent of the mothers and 70 percent of fathers exhibited a preference for one child. As this was among families that knew they were being monitored, theres a strong possibility the true figures could be significantly higher. Favoritism is certainly a controversial topic. When raised as a subject for discussion on parenting websites, it always arouses a stream of angry denials. But interestingly, a lot of personal anecdotes appear from parents who say they were overshadowed by a favored sibling, or were, indeed, their mother or fathers favorite. It seems everyone knows favoritism exists but nobody wants to put their hand up and say theyre guilty of it themselves. Another research, where siblings have been asked to say who their mother and father favor, suggests that mothers do tend to a show a preference for their first-born son, but fathers often dote on their youngest daughters. Parents will often be drawn to the child who is easiest to get along with or the child that shares similar traits to them. For example, mum will have a special bond with her sensitive, arty son, while dad lavishes attention on his sporty daughter. Professor Scott says being least favored in a family can color our behavior as adults. “Children who feel they are less loved within their family are more likely to develop low self-esteem, anxiety and depression.”But some experts believe being less favored can have positive consequences. Professor Scott agrees that favored children can sometimes find life difficult when they have to rub along in the real world. 50. Which of the following is most likely a white lie? A. I am determined to go and nothing will stop me. B. A good idea, without action, is worth nothing. C. Those who complain the most, accomplish the least. D. Thank you so much for the gift! I just love it!51. What can we infer from paragraph three?A. Kluger is exaggerating the figures for dramatic effect. B. Every parent denies the fact that he has a favorite child. C. Every parent does have a favorite child. D. What Kluger said is quite close to the fact. 52. What does “sibling” (para 4) mean in the passage?A. brother or sister B. parentC. brother D. sister53. Which child is most likely to be a favorite child in a fathers eyes?A. A sensitive, arty son. B. The first-born son. C. A sporty daughter. D. A young daughter. 54. What is the most likely effect on the child who is the favored one in a family according to Professor Scott?A. He simply just has to put his head down and work harder to succeed. B. He is likely to learn how to turn disadvantages into advantages. C. He is likely to find life difficult when he has to face the real world. D. He is likely to develop low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. 55. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Some people were overshadowed by a favored sibling when they were young. B. Most people will admit that they feel guilty of favoring one child over another. C. Experts have different opinions about the consequences of being less favored. D. The topic about favoritism on parenting websites always arouses angry denials. D“Christmas wont be Christmas without any presents,” grumbled Jo, lying on the rug. “Its so dreadful to be poor!” sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress. “I dont think its fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all,” added little Amy, with an injured sniff. “Weve got father and mother and each other,” said Beth, contentedly. The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly: “We havent got father, and shall not have him for a long time.” She didnt say “perhaps never”, but each silently added it, thinking of father far away, where the fightin
