why not look inside? many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. we have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. when we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.56. what does the underlined word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?a. all the problems.b. all the properties.c. the whole world.d. the absolute truth.57. what can be inferred about the author?a. the author is a samoan.b. the author succeeded losing weight.c. the author has been troubled by her weight.d. the author probably got wounded in an accident.58. according to the text, those who have lost weight first and gained it back later feel _.a. angry about the regained weight b. indifferent to the regained weightc. optimistic about future plans on weight controld. they should give up their future plans on weight control59. the text tries to stress the importance of _.a. body size b. attitudes toward life c. culture difference d. different beauty standards bthere are two kinds of people in the world. those of the first kind are born idlers (游手好闲者), taking interest in nothing. it seems what they live for is to pass time idly. they simply dont know why they have to do so, nor will they bother to ask. the other kind are those who take things seriously and never wish to idle away their life. but only a part of the second group are eager enough to make success. all the others fail to make enough effort to make their dreams come true. why do things so happen to them? what are the reasons? i later find out that some people are determined. they are “igniters” that catch fire of their own, giving light and heat. but thats not the case with others. they may be fuels but not igniters. as pieces of wood or coal, they need a match or a lighter to make them burn so that their energy can be released to give off light and heat. the majority of people need some igniter to light them. thus igniter becomes a must for those people to succeed. unless a suitable igniter comes their way, they will always remain idle like cold unused firewood or coal. fortunately, such an igniter is not difficult to meet. one may find it in an instructive book, a film story, a few words of a close friend, some advice of a good teacher, a pleasant journey, or an unexpected love. any of these, coming at the right time, can serve as an igniter to start ones enthusiasm for learning or for a better career, to turn him from a passive state of waiting to an active state of pursuing, to lend him strength to go ahead bravely. in that case, what he has prepared for years will be quickly turned into fruitful reality. such an igniter may turn up of itself, but most likely we have to find it ourselves. never let a chance slide away, for it is the key to your success.60. according to the text, “_” are the persons that can light many people so that their energy can be released to give off light and heat.a. idlers b. ignitersc. fuelsd. serious people 61. according to the writer, what do most people definitely need to succeed? a. storing a lot of energy. b. great interest in everything.c. an igniter coming at the right time.d. wonderful dreams about a bright future.62. the writer writes the article to _.a. describe two kinds of peopleb. encourage people to find chances to succeedc. praise those who work hardd. make fun of idlers cduring the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another .understandably so. many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. but we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator diane loisie ,its their school work which suffers the most. “after school, if theyre busy in a number of sporting events, besides they need to do their homework, then the time theyll feel sleepy is in the classroom. your child needs free time. so if youre filling up that after school time, then its during the day that theyre going to be taking a break.”professor claire mcdermott agrees that theres a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. “relaxing time is important for children. its time just to do the things they want to do. a child can go up to their room, or they can play around. it doesnt look like productive time; parents certainly wouldnt be saying wow, are they ever learning things now? but this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. it helps a child prepare for sleep, but it also helps to understand the learning thats gone on that day.”its hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. after all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. however, loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. “when we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what were doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill.” so choose your childrens activities wisely. it may be one of the best things youve ever done for your kids and for the family drivers!63what is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?athey can get bored easily about everything.bthey might have no time to do the homework.cthey might not pay much attention to learning.dthey cannot easily focus on learning during the day.64what should we think of childrens playing around aimlessly?ait is productive. bit is helpful.cit is a bad habit.dit is a waste of time.65why should parents limit the activities our children attend?abecause children have no time.bbecause children cannot learn many things.cbecause children do not have enough sleep.dbecause children cannot focus on too many activities.66what is the main idea of this passage?adont be childrens drivers after school.bchoose activities for your children wisely.cmake your children learn as much as possible.dlet children learn something from various subjects.dit was mollys job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work. one morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, molly handed him a second paper bag. this one was worn and held together with staples (订书钉) 。 “why two bags?” her father asked. “the other is something else,” molly answered. “whats in it?” “just some stuff. take it with you.” not wanting to discuss the matter, he put both bags into his briefcase, kissed molly and rushed off. at midday he opened mollys bag and took out the contents: two hair ribbons(丝带), three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny sea shell, a small doll, and 13 pennies the busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket, mollys stuff included.that evening, molly ran up behind him as he read the paper. “wheres my bag?” “what bag?” “the one i gave you this morning.” “i left it at the office. why?” “i forgot to put this note in it,” she said. “and, besides, daddy, the things in the sack are the things i really like i thought you might like to play with them. you didnt lose the bag, did you, daddy?” “oh, no,” he said, lying. “i just forgot to bring it home. ill bring it tomorrow.” while molly hugged her fathers neck, he unfolded the note that read: “i love you, daddy.” molly had given him her treasures all that a 7-year-old held dear. love in a paper bag, and he missed it not only missed it, but had thrown it in the wastebasket. so back he went to the office. just ahead of the night janitor(看门人), he picked up the wastebasket. he put the treasures inside and carried it home
