But there were two rules placed on me during a visit. First, I could not go anywhere in the hospital without permission. And second, I could not physically touch anyone within the hospital. They did not want me to carry germs(细菌)from one patient to another. Breaking either of these rules, I was told, I could lose my job. One day, as I was heading down a hallway and on my way home, I heard a little voice coming through a halfopened door，“Ronald，Ronald.”I stepped in and saw a boy，about five years old, lying in his dads arms, Mom with a nurse on the other side. I knew by the feeling in the room that the situation was grave. I asked his name. He told me it was Billy and that I did a few simple magic tricks for him. As I stepped back to say goodbye, he asked me “Ronald, would you hold me？”来源: /At such a simple request, my heart was screaming, “Yes！”But my mind was screaming louder. “No！You are going to lose your job！” “Hold me” was such a simple request, and yet I searched for any reasonable excuses that allowed me to leave, but none. It took me a moment to realize that in this situation, losing my job may not be the disaster I feared. Then, I picked up this little boy. He was so weak and so scared. We laughed and cried for 45 minutes. With tears in my eyes, I left them. Less than 48 hours later, I received a phone call from Billys mom that Billy had passed away. She and her husband simply wanted to thank me for making a difference in their little boys life.Billys mom told me shortly after I left the room. Billy looked at her and said, “Momma, I dont care any more if I see Santa this year because I was held by Ronald McDonald.”For the record, McDonalds Corporation did find it out, but, given the situation，permitted me to go on with my job. I continued as Ronald for another year before leaving the corporation to share the story of Billy and how important it is to take risks.56. The underlined word “grave” in Paragraph 3 means “_”. A. weak B. exciting C. interesting D. serious 57. When Billy asked the author to hold him, at first the author _. A. was unwilling to do so B. was glad to do so C. hesitated to do so D. hurried to do so58. What lesson did the author draw from his experience? A. To amuse others is enjoyable. B. To take risks is important. C. To break rules is necessary. D. To be fired is not fearful.59. We learn from the story that _. A.the author left the corporation because he broke the rules来源: /.Com B.the author left the corporation because he didnt like the rules C.the boy was quite happy with the experience with the author D.the boy was quite happy with Santa at Christmas BOne of the keys to being successful is persistence（坚持）Once you have determined exactly what you want to achieve, you must take active action in order to succeed. One of the things youll notice on your journey towards your goal are roadblocks. That is, you will come across obstacles（障碍） to discourage your progress. Actually, they are a part of life. Everyone would have every success they ever wanted if there were no obstacles. Your job is to be persistent and work through those obstacles. If you find little or no obstacles along the way, chances are that you are not really challenging yourself. And when you do reach your goal, you wont experience the feeling of sweet success. Make your goal a challenging one!If you take the time to study any successful person, you will learn that the vast majority of them have had more failures than they have had successes. This is because successful people are persistent; the more they stumble（绊倒）and fall, the more they get right back up and get going again. On the other hand, people that dont get back up and try again, never reach success. For example, Walt Disney was turned down 302 times before he got financing for his dream of creating the Happiest Place on Earth. Today, due to his persistence, millions of people have shared the joy of Disney. Having known these facts, keep in mind that you must constantly reevaluate（再评估）your circumstances and the approach you are using to reach your goal. There is no sense in being persistent at something that you are doing incorrectly! Sometimes you have to modify（修改）your approach along the way. Every time you do something you learn from it, andtherefore find a better way to do it the next time. Today is the day to begin your journey, using consistency and persistency, towards tomorrows successes!60The author seems to hold the belief that . A. challenges we come across are beneficialB. obstacles will surely lead to someones successC. the more obstacles we have, the more discouraged we feelD. its rewarding to enjoy the feeling of“sweet success”61.Which can be inferred from the text? A. Making a practical goal will ensure your success.B. Never giving up in face of failure may contribute to your success.C. Having a beautiful picture will lead to your success.D. Suffering from more failures will make you disappointed.62.What must you reevaluate constantly? A. Attitudes and skills. B. Circumstances and ways.C. Roadblocks and challenges. D. Failures and successes.63.Whats the text mainly about? A. Persistence makes for success B. Overcome obstaclesC. Challenge yourself D. Failure is the mother of success CBritain has laws to make sure that women have the same chances as men in education, jobs and training. But its still unusual to find women doing dirty or heavy jobs. Nikki Henriques is a car maintenance engineer in London. She used to be a secretary. Barty Philips, a journalist with “The Observer”, a Sunday newspaper, asked her why she wanted to work with cars. “My first reason was independence(独立),” she said. “I also wanted to use my hands, and I like learning about how things work. Many people prefer to have a woman repair their cars, too.” Nikki didnt find it easy to become a car maintenance engineer. She went to a Government Skill Centrea special sort of college where people can learn a new job for twenty weeks. “For ten weeks I was the only woman among four hundred men, and some of them were rude to me. It was also very tiringfrom 8 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon, with only 30 minutes for lunch.” Now Nikki works free-lance, that is, shes self-employed, working for herself and not for a garage or a company. Barty Phillips also spoke to Rose, who works as a general builder in Sheffield, an industrial town in the north of England. Like Nikki, Rose used to be a secretary. “I didnt enjoy it at all.” she said. “I wanted to do more practical work, and I wanted to be self-employed.” Rose joined a womens building co-operative, and she learnt her job from other people and from experience. However, many of the women in her group have been specially trained. Most of the jobs they do are improvements to buildings and general repairs. “People often say, Oh, women arent strong enough, but I dont think strength is important.” said Rose, “The important thing is to get used to doing a different sort of work.” Rose would like more women to come into the building industry. “Everything built at the moment is a product of mans world. If women become builders, they will be able to understand the production of their house and their towns.” 64. There are laws in Britain to help women _. A. get higher pay than men B. enjoy more freedom than men C. do whatever they like to do D. have equal chances with men in education and work 65. The job of a car maintenance engineer is to _. A. repair cars B. sell cars C. make cars D. keep cars for others 66. According to Rose, a woman wishing to be a general builder _. A. must be specially trained B. should be strong enough C. can learn her job either from others or by experience D. must get used to doing a different sort of work 67. The best title for this passage might be _. A. Nikki Henriques, a car maintenance engineer B. Rose, a General Builder in Shefield C. Women at Work D. British Women DHow to Be a WinnerSir Steven RedgraveWinner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病). Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it -the 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 PickeringSwimming World Champion “I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success-you cant follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List 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.”Kirsten BestPoet & Writer“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I cant achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, 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. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool”68. What does Sir Steven Redgrave mainly talk about?A. Difficulties influenced his career.B. Specialists offered him medical advice.C. Training helped him defeat his disease.D. He overcame the shadow of illness to win.69. What does Karen Pickering put on top of her diary?A.

Habits that make it hard for one to relax.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。其中有两项为多余选项。The main cause of death and disability in the USStroke （中风）is the main cause of death and disability in the United States.
