spiritual or material - can be fulfilled; a place, for one last bet in life. 56. what made the authors mother go to lightning ridge? a. the luxurious life there. b. her new marriage there. c. her interest in opals. d. her passion for nature. . 57. after the authors mother died, she fulfilled her desire by _. a. treating her mothers ridge friends with spanish food b. writing a biography about her whole life c. decorating her house in lightning ridge d. finding a lot of black opals in lightning ridge58. we know from the passage that _. a. the rich and the poor can be distinguished by their looks b. luke is a successful miner, just like his father c. sebastian is planning to leave lightning ridge d. danny hatchers parents were miners in lightning ridge59. lightning ridge is a place where dreams can be fulfilled because _. a. there are precious stones and life is peaceful b. there are people from all walks of life c. there are rich people who can help poor people d. there is a lot of gold hidden in the ground 60. what is the authors purpose of giving neil schellnegger and danny hatcher as examples? a. to show the magic power of opal mining. b. to tell people it isnt always hard to mine opals. c. to warn people not to take up this kind of job. d. to persuade people to look for more resources for the country. blife is full of change, and this leads to growth. change is what keeps our lives moving, and allows us to achieve what we desire and deserve. like it or not, we need to be willing to go with the flow, and be adaptable when something doesnt go according to plan. a catalyst is a person that causes something else to happen, and if youre not currently a catalyst for change, here are some things you can do to become one. take a look at what youve got going on in your life right now. write down everything that comes to mind. is there anything that jumps out at you that youre not content with? is there something that isnt moving forward as quickly as you would like it to? identifying what you want to change is the first step to getting somewhere with it.change is good, and often leads to process improvement, increased productivity and efficiency. take the initiative, and make changes to your life to get to where you want to go faster than you are going right now.61. if you decide to change, you should start by _. a. going with the flow b. changing from day to day c. writing down good ideas d. making sure you know what to change 62. which of the following is true, according to the fourth paragraph? a. one should accept others opinions uncritically. b. one should be cautious about the opinions of others. c. its more important to get than to give feedback. d. change may not happen without ideas from other people. 63. the underlined words “bounce ideas off other people” in the fourth paragraph probably mean “_”. a. get approval from others b. get your ideas across to other peoplec. get others feedback about your ideas d. carry out your ideas without the help of others 64. what can we infer from the text? a. change benefits us in different ways. b. creating a good environment is the most important step. c. its discouraging to try to change ones environment. d. being a catalyst for change is risky but rewarding. 65. which would be the best title for the text? a. how to achieve what you desire. b. how to be a catalyst for change. c. how to act according to your plans. d. how to move in the right direction. cgallows humor（黑色幽默）seem like a mistake, or at least in poor taste. but psychologists say that gallows humor can be an important way to relieve stress. “humor makes you feel in control and it can give you that feeling that everything is okay even when its not,” says james m. jones, a psychology professor at the university of delaware.psychologists say that just because youre laughing doesnt mean youre wasting time. occasional teasing among colleagues, particularly if it revolves around things associated with the job, can boost creativity, departmental cohesiveness（凝聚力）and performance.“there are a lot of stressors out there,” says ed dunkelblau, a psychologist with the institute for emotionally intelligent learning in chicago. “but gallows humor is a way of making difficult things a little less difficult.”this is true as long as the humor is used for the right purpose. the main point of it should be inspiring people - not laughing at them. “anything that would lift morale（士气）in terms of the company would be good humor,” says thierry guedj, a professor of business and psychology at boston university. “before you say or do anything, think about, how is this helping my employees morale?”you want to give your employees and co-workers a sense of belonging, so dont make observations that are aggressive. most obviously, dr guedj says, dont make comments about peoples physical appearance, or faith. if you have any doubt, its appropriate, dont go through with it.or you can take aim at the one person you know wont be offended（冒犯）:yourself. “if theres going to be a joke or story, it should be you,” mr. dunkelblau says. for example, if youre a marketing manager reviewing a failed campaign that you led, begin with a line like, “the guy who gave permission to this deal might just be looking for work next week.”“people with the ability to laugh at themselves can give other people permission to laugh at themselves too,” mr. jones says. “and if you can laugh at yourself, you feel better about yourself.”66. according to the text, gallows humor has the following functions except _. a. reducing pressure b. improving performance c. making people more creative d. leading to a big mistake67. what is ed dunkelblaus attitude towards gallows humor? a. positive. b. negative. c. neutral. d. uncertain. 68. which of the following would dr. guedj most probably agree with? a. gallows humor is the basic source of morale. b. gallows humor allows people to laugh at others. c. gallows humor may sometimes be used for the wrong purpose. d. anything that may lift morale can be called gallows humor. 69. when people use gallows humor, they should _. a. observe who is aggressive b. show a sense of belonging c. doubt about the result of humors d. try to avoid irritating others70. what can we infer from the text? a. people tend to laugh at others rather than themselves. b. laughing at ourselves can help relieve the stress of others. c. people cant avoid offending others with gallows humor. d. people who laugh at themselves are hard to be friends with. dvirgin galactic has collected deposits from nearly 500 customers willing to pay $200,000 for a ride aboard spaceshiptwo, and both virgin and xcor have inked deals to fly scientists and their experiments on research flights. so a suborbital market already exists but shostak is thinking about ways to make it grow.a celebrity launch isnt shostaks only idea. suborbital firms should also promote their activities aggressively via social media, shostak said, and they should make sure their spaceships are bristling（充满）with cameras both inside and out, to give the publi
