You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job es along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal (内部的) patterns that get in your way.To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a flower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of plete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift given by a former partner who turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers gardens with some shedding tears (流泪)of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.Our internal patterns decide whether each moment is filled with peace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you dont realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame (责备)the external situations in your life. Most people arent taught that emotion is a choice. And they arent taught how to change those lower emotional patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in your external world. 24. Why does the author mention the examples in Paragraph 1 ?A. To lead to the topic of this passage. B. To plain about imperfect life.C. To show mon problems in life. D. To encourage people to change the outside world. 25. How does the author prove his opinion?A. By giving examples. B. By doing an experiment.C. By telling a related story. D. By paring other peoples opinions.26.What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?A. To step out of negative emotions.B. To pay attention to our internal world. C. To share our real emotions with others.D. To use different methods to change bad emotions.27.What does the author want to express through the passage?A. Our external world matters a lot.B. Our emotions can affect our health.C. Our internal patterns truly decide our emotions.D. Our experiences have a great influence on our emotions.CMaking employees feel happy and healthy at work is good for many businesses. But it isnt always an easy thing. A study suggests that only 33% of the U. S. employees consider themselves fully engaged （投身于）in work, while 16% are greatly disengaged, and 51% are just showing up.But there is an exception. When it es to employee engagement, it seems that employees in small panies are doing better. According to the same research, the largest U. S. panies are at the lowest levels of engagement, while panies with fewer than 25 employees are at the highest. And in one recent report, 75% of small business workers surveyed said they were “very” or “extremely” satisfied with their role as a small pany employee.Unlike big panies, small panies are often short of resources but the employees can get more surprises there. Small panies offer excellent career opportunities to their employees. The bosses often know their staff very well and understand their personal needs. Employees of small panies are more likely to receive free meals, paid leave, and they can even bring their pets to work.But of course ? there are many other draws in small businesses. One of the top draws is flexible scheduling (弹性工时). Another is being able to really see the fruits of ones labor. Besides, non-cash award is also a big draw. This could be something small that reflects employees interests and lifestyles.While a parental leave might lead to some financial problems, small panies may do something to improve it. “It may be impossible for a five-person team to be reduced to four for six months,” writes Camillia Velasquez, head of HR management platform, Justworks. “But it could be possible to allow new parents to take on reduced hours in a work-from-home environment. ” This kind of method has been realized in some small panies.28. What can we know about employees in big and small panies?A. Employees can develop better in small panies.B. Employees can earn more money in small panies.C. Employees in big panies are hard to be satisfied. D. Employees in small panies are more engaged in work.29. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Working for small panies has many benefits.B. All the employers in small panies know every staff member very well.C. Staff in small panies may face many challenges.D. Staff in big panies have more material benefits.30. pared with big panies, what is the advantage of small panies?A. Employers in small panies have more choices.B. Small panies have more attractions to employees.C. Employees of small panies may have higher salaries.D. Employees of small panies have fixed working time.31. What can be most probably inferred from the passage?A. Small panies may have more employees with much happiness.B. Big panies should learn from some small panies.C. Employees should have their own hobbies and lifestyles.D. Employers should pay more attention to the staffs needs.DIn his 402nd anniversary year, Shakespeare is still rightly celebrated as a great wordsmith （语言大师）and playwright （剧作家）.But he was not the only great master of dramatic writing to die in 1616, and he is certainly not the only writer to have left a lasting influence on theater.While less known worldwide, Tang Xianzu is considered Chinas greatest playwright and is highly spoken of in that country of ancient literary and dramatic traditions.Tang was born in 1550 in Linchuan, Jiangxi province, and pursued a low-key career as an official until, in 1598 and aged 49, he retired to focus on writing. Unlike Shakespeares large body of plays, poems and sonnets （十四行诗），Tang wrote only four major plays: The Purple Hairpin （紫钗记），Peony Pavilion （牡丹亭），A Dream under the Southern Bough （南柯记，and Dream of Handan（邯郸记. The Peony Pavilion is considered Tangs masterpiece. The latter three are constructed around a dream narrative, a device through which Tang unlocked the emotional dimension of human desires and ambitions and explored human nature beyond the social and political restrictions of that time.Tang lived toward the end of the Ming Dynasty（13681644）and the popularity of his works had a good reason. Similar to Shakespeare, his success rode the wave of a renaissance （复兴）in theater as an artistic practice. As in Shakespeares England, Tangs works became hugely popular in China too. During Tangs China, the way, in which playlets were enjoyed and performed, changed. Kunqu opera, a form of musical drama, spread from southern China to the whole nation and became a symbol of Chinese culture. bining northern tune and southern music, kunqu opera was known for its poetic language, music, dance movements and gestures. Tangs works benefited greatly from the popularity of kunqu opera, and his playlets are considered classics of kunqu opera. While Tang and Shakespeare lived in a world away from each other, there are many things they share in mon, such as the humanity of their drama, their iconic and heroic figures, their love for poetic language, a lasting popularity and the anniversary during which we still celebrate them.32. How is the text developed?A. By analyzing data. B. By giving examples.C. By providing arguments. D. By making parisons.33. Whats the most outstanding feature of Tangs works according to Paragraph 3 ?A. They are love stories based on real events.B. They reflect political environment at that time.C. They focus on discovering human emotions.D. They are mainly about dreams of females.34. What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Led to. B. Called up. C. Set off. D. Benefited from.35. Whats the best title for the text?A. Tang XianzuThe Shakespeare of ChinaB. Kunqu OperaA Symbol of Chinese CultureC. Tang Xianzu and His WorkThe Peony PavilionD.
