very well. fred epstein , in his book if i make it to five, tells a story he heard from one of friends about tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. he came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination. tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes , dr epstein expained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led. the day before his third trip to the operating room, tom was terribly afraid.”maybe i could go as superman ,”he whispered to his mom. hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. she had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装)，but finally she agreed. the next day tom appeared as the powerful superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. and tom,with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation. the power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. we all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could, just as dr.epstein puts it ,”if you can dream it, you can do it” it doesnt mean that you should dress as a superhero for you next job interview. but, next time you are texted in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it .become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. so, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream. 41. what do we know about tom? a. he was a dishonest boy. b. he was seriously ill c. he was crazy about magic d. he was dr.epsteins patient 42. what can be inferred about toms mother? a. she

your mind b. to wake up from your wild dreams c. to wear expensive clothes for job interviews d. to go through some difficult tests 44. what is the purpose of the passage? a. to tell us an interesting story. b. to help us make right decisions. c. to advise us to care about children. d. to encourage us to use our imagination. bmore than four out of five people admit to telling little white lies at

“techno-treachery （高科技说谎）” was widespread with nearly 75 percent of people saying gadgets (小器具) made it easier to fib (撒小谎).just over half of the respondents （被调查者） said using gadgets made them feel

pretending to be ill (43 percent), followed by saying work had been completed when it hadnt (23 percent). worryingly for bosses 18 percent said they lied to hide a big mistake.but, employers were not the only ones on the receiving end of dishonest statements. just over 40 percent of the respondents said they had lied to their families or partners.key topics to lie about were: buying new clothes or

hours, forty-two minutes and thirty-nine seconds!waterskiers have done amazing things on skis too. in 1971 danny churchill skied at a speed of more than 125 miles per hour. that was the highest speed in the 1970s. six years later will coughey skied 1,124 miles without stopping! in 1979, sammy duvall, jumped 182 feet off a ramp (斜坡), landing on the water.the sport hasnt stopped changing. today

can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. however, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. people who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research. 56 try the following steps: calm yourself. 57 you can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. dont wait for an apology. many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. they may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things the same way. 58 keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you. take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). rethinking about you hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. instead of focusing on your mounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. 59 if you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offenders point of view. dont forget to forgive yourself. 60 but it can rob you of yourself-confidence if you dont do it. a. try to see things from you offenders angle. b. recognize the benefits of forgiveness.c. to make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique. d. for some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. e.why should you forgive?f. how should you start to forgive? g.if you wait for people to apologiz
