Then one of the specialists(专家) said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was itthe encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isnt difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasnt finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.” Karen Pickering Swimming World Champion(冠军)“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that kind of workload(工作量) by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to successyou cant follow a career in any field without being well-organized. Make a list of what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and youll be a step closer to achieving them. ” Kristen Best Poet Writer“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I cant achieve anything. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate(集中). When I feel nervous, it helps a lot to repeat words such as calm, peace or focus, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence.

Clever.BWhen someone has deeply hurt you, it can be very difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible - and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive have more energy, better appetite (胃口) and better sleep. “People who forgive show less anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear(消耗) on our body and make people feel more energetic.” So when someone has hurt you, calm down first. Take plenty of breath deeply and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Dont wait for an apology(道歉). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who makes you angry. Mentally going over your hurt gives power to the person who brought you pain. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other persons perspective(视角). You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance (无知), fear, even love. To achieve the perspective, you may write a letter to yourself from that persons point of view. 31. When someone has deeply hurt you, its not easy for you to _.A. feel very angry B. let go of your anger C. keep remembering it D. let your anger appear32. What will you do first when someone has hurt you?A. Take much breath deeply. B. See things in a different way. C. Keep yourself calm. D. Go over your hurt. 33. According to the writer, what is the right way to calm down after being hurt?A. Try to make sure why you get hurt. B. Write a letter to the person who hurt you. C. Tell yourself to accept what others have done to you. D. Think about pleasant things and forget about the hurt. 34. Dr. Luskin advises us not to wait for an apology after being hurt because _. A. we are not patient enough B. wed feel worse accepting others apology C. people seldom want to apologize D. people don t mean it when they apologize 35. This passage is mainly written to explain _. A. how to keep yourself from being hurt B. how to stay mentally healthy C. how and when to stay calm D. why and how to forgive othersCFrench doctors and American scientists have reported doing an operation in which the doctor was outside the operating room. This kind of operation is known as robotic operation.Doctor Marescaux did the operation in an office in New York City last month, while a 68-year-old woman patient was in a hospital in Strasbourg, France. A doctor in Strasbourg got the patient ready. He placed medical tools(工具) and a small video camera in her stomach area. Doctor Marescaux in New York watched the patient on a video screen. Then he used the computer to send messages to the robot machine. The robot moved the tools that cut the womans gallbladder (胆囊) away. The woman got well soon after the operation and left the hospital two days later.Experts(专家) say the main problem with such a robotic operation is based on high-speed telecommunications(无线电通讯) between the doctor and the robot. Technology(技术) must be able to send a doctors order to a robot to move the tools quickly.Experts also say a successful robotic operation will improve an operation. For example, the robot can make much smaller movements than a person can. A robot machine can turn tools in ways that a doctors hand cannot. Doctors say such a robotic operation will make safer and better operations possible in the future. They say it will improve doctor training. It will also mean that doctors could do an operation on people in dangerous places far away. And it could mean that people could have operations done by top doctors without having to travel to the city where the doctors work.36. “Robotic operation” means . A. a special kind of robot invented by doctors B. an operation done far away C. an operation done with the help of a robot D. something done to mend a robot37. We use the robot in the operation because _. A. it can send messages at a high speed B. even a top doctor cant do the operation himself C. it can make the operation safer and better D. operations can be done without any doctors38. If we want to use the robot in the operation, we must solve the problem of _. A. top doctors B. smaller movements C. doctor training D. high-speed telecommunications39. If the smaller movement cant be done by doctors in the operation, we may use _ to solve it. A. more toolsB. a robot machine C. a video cameraD. telecommunications40. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Robotic operation will improve doctor training.B. Robotic operation has been used widely in the USA.C. Experts speak highly of robotic operation.D. The robot helps doctors do operations clearly.DBringing a giraffe into the world is a tall order. A baby giraffe is born 10 feet high and usually lands on its back. Within seconds it rolls over its legs under its body. Then the mother giraffe rudely introduces its children to the reality(现实) of life.In his book, A View from the Zoo, Gary Richmond describes how a new-born giraffe learns its first lesson.The mother giraffe lowers her head long enough to take a quick look. Then she puts herself directly over her child. She waits for about a minute, and then she does the most unreasonable(不合情理的) thing. She throws her long leg and kicks her baby, so that its sent sprawling(四脚朝天).When it doesnt get up, the process is repeated again and again. The struggle to rise is important. As the baby giraffe grows tired, the mother kicks it again. Finally, it stands for the first time on its shaky(摇晃的) legs. Then the mother giraffe kicks it off its feet again. Why? She wants it to remember how it got up. In the wild, a baby giraffe must be able to get up as quickly as possible to stay with its group, where theres safety.Another writer named Irving Stone understood this. He spent a lifetime studying greatness, writing stories about such men as Michelangelo, Vincent van Gogh, Sigmund Freud, and Charles Darwin.Stone was once asked if he had found something that runs through the lives of all these great people. He said, “I write about people who sometime in their life have a dream of something. Theyre beaten over the head, knocked down and for years they get nowhere. But every time they stand up again. And at the end of their lives theyve realized some small parts of what they set out(着手) to do .”41. What does the underlined part “a tall order” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. A happy thing. B.
