to achieve them. she would tell me not to be a follower and not to set 41 on what i could achieve. she 42 believed that 43 was no limit that you could achieve whatever you wanted. i would never forget the following story that she once told me：a farmer won first 44 at the country fair for his huge radish (小萝卜) that was the exact shape and 45 of a milk bottle. many were 46 as to how the farmer was able to grow this radish that was the exact shape of a milk bottle. 47 one gentleman went up to the farmer and asked the question. the farmer replied，“it was 48 . i got the seed growing and then i put it into the milk bottle. it had 49 else to go .”you can use this story as an analogy (比喻) to lifeour lives are 50 by the kind of surroundings we place ourselves in, the people that we allow to 51 us, and the goals we give ourselves. if we only 52 and take no action, then we get no further. but if we 53 ，set a goal and take action, then our life takes a 54 shape. goals and actions can help us achieve more in a year than what some people will achieve in a lifetime. to prove this 55 ，read the biographies of 56 people and you will see that goals and actions 57 played a big role in their success. remember the 58 of mary kay ash, who said，“dont limit yourself. ” many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. you can go 59 your mind lets you. whatever you believe, remember, you can achieve.” in summary, dont put yourself in a bottle; in other words, move out of what is 60 and secure if you want to move forward.41. a. expectationsb. rulesc. limitsd. lines42. a.

find quite a few of them on every high street. the charity shop is a british institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. you can get things you wont find in the shops anymore. the thing i like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods. the first charity shop was opened in 1947 by oxfam. the famous charitys appeal to help postwar greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations (捐赠物). they decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the uk. my favourite charity shop in my hometown is the red cross shop, where i always find childrens books, all 10 or 20 pence each. most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they dont encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open. the shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. charity shops raise more than 110 million a year, funding (资助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. what better place to spend your money? you get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. you

twenty-four hours a day.64. which of the following may be the best title for the passage? a. what to buy at charity shops. b. charity shop: its origin & development.c. charity shop: where you buy to donate. d. the publics concern about charity shops.65. “tread lightly on the environment ” in the last paragraph is closest to _ in meaning.a. do as little damage to the earth as possible b. have a good moral sens c. watch over the environment d. depend lightly on the environment b66. if you want to buy toys to be put by childrens bed, you may choose _.a. model no. 1530 b. model no. msm-12ll1c.

model no. msm-12ll1d. model no. 153070. what do we know about model no. 62558 and model no. 1801? a. model no. 62558 is much safer than model no.1801. b. model no. 62558 is more suitable for babies of 0-12 months. c. model 1801 is more attractive in appearance. d. model 1801 is made up of many small parts.cas i was busy working on my work plan in my bedroom, i could hear my four children playing upstairs. suddenly, i heard the children running down the stairs and shouting, “freddie, freddie.” i heard the word “window” and rushed outside, heart in mouth. my three-year old son freddie was lying on his side on the ground. i cried for my husband simon to dial 999 and within minutes the air ambulance arrived. they quickly took him in the helicopter. during the flight, freddie was looking at me and i remember thinking was a good sign, but then his eyes began to roll. as the doctors tried to stabilize(稳定) him, i couldnt believe what was happening. when we arrived at the hospital in portsmouth, there were some doctors and nurses waiting for us and they immediately set to work on freddie. i was hopelessly wishing everything would be alright, but freddie had broken his skull in two places and blood clots were forming in his brain. he needed surgery(外科手术), and only a surgeon at another hospital in bristol could do it. this meant another helicopter ride, but we couldnt go with freddie because there was no enough space. simon and i drove the long 130 miles from our home in north devon in silence. neither of us dared say what we were thinking, “what if we get there and hes dead?” “is he going to be brain-damaged?”freddie was just coming out of surgery when we arrived. the surgeon said it had gone well. when i finally saw him, i hardly recognize my childhe was covered in tubes and there were wires coming out of his head. on the third day, simon went home to see our three girls and to pick up some clean clothes for us. while he was gone, the pressure in freddies brain suddenly increased. he was taken into theater again and this time i fell apart. luckily, the surgery managed to stabilize freddie. after almost a week, freddie was finally woken up. when he opened his eyes, he looked at me. he didnt say anything, but i knew straight away that it was my old freddie, and that he was going to be alright. over the next two weeks, his recovery went well. after help with learning to swallow again and encouragement with speaking, he was soon playing with his gruffalo cards and eating meals by himself. i still dont know how the accident happened, but we got some idea from our girls. clearly freddie and minnie had been sitting on the window ledge, and freddie must have opened it to look out and fallen 20 feet onto the ground below. the guilt i feel is awful for weeks i was full of “if onlys”, and we put window locks everywhere. six months later, although the accident seems a lifetime ago, it has changed me. i feel differently about life now. ive left my job to put my children first. i want to spend every minute with them.71. the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 shows the author was _. a. hopeless b. worried c. curious d. puzzled72. why did the authors son have to be moved to another hospital in bristol? a. because no surgeons were on duty in the first hospital that day. b. because the author wanted his son to stay in a hospital nearer her home. c. because no surgeons in the first hospital knew the injuries to the authors son. d. because no surgeons in the first hospital could do surgery on the authors son.73. when the author finally saw her son, she could hardly recognize him probably because his face_. a. was seriously injured b. was filled with small pipes c. was too pale to be recognized d. was covered by a piece of cloth74. on the third day after being taken to the hospital, _. a. the authors son finally opened his eyes. b. the situation of the authors son suddenly worsened c. the authors son was finally out of danger d. the

men, were playing soccer on the field across from my apartment building. i, a better-than-average looking young woman, was walking along the sidewalk with my groceries. thats when your ball came flying over the fence and landed in front of me.one of you approached and asked politely if i would throw the ball back to you. fighting the urge(冲动) to drop my bags and run screaming down the street, i agreed, unwillingly.before i continue, let me explain something that i didnt have a chance to mention last night: i hate sports. or rather, i hate sports involving balls. this results from my lack of natural ability when it comes to throwing, catching and hitting. im bad at aiming too. so you can understand why id be nervous at what im sure seemed to you like a laughably simple request. however, wanting to appear agreeable, i put my bags down, picked up the
