It can come from the inside or outside and can be 36 or negative (消极的). When you say, “If I make a hit, well win the game and Ill be a 37,” you challenge yourself to do something and imagine what the 38 will be. You might also say, “If I fail in school, Ill be 39.” Imagining the pain that 40 brings is a negative way of motivating yourself.Sometimes motivation comes from the 41. Your parents might say, “If you do well in school, the whole 42 will go to Disney World.” Now you have a 43 reason to study hard! Your parents might also say, “If you dont 44 your room, you will be forbidden to watch your favorite TV program.” This is the negative 45. The best motivation comes from inside you. In fact, motivating yourself to do well 46 waiting for someone else to tell you is a sign that you are 47. People who have no 48 must be told what to do all the time.

The annual voyage of some species, which fly north in search of food and suitable habitats, could increase by as much as 400 kilometers (250 miles), the research found. “Marathon migrations for some birds are set to become even longer,” said Stephen Willis, a professor at Durham University in Britain and the main architect of the study. “This is bad news for birds like the Whitethroat, a common farmland bird. The added distance is a considerable threat. As temperatures rise and habitats change, birds will face their biggest challenge since the Pleistocene era (更新世), which ended 11,000 years ago,” he said in a statement.Some 500 million birds migrate each year from Africa, some weighing as little as nine grams (three-tenths of an ounce). To complete a voyage that can be thousands of kilometers long, birds have to fatten themselves up to twice their normal weight. Some even shrink their internal organs (收缩内脏) to become more fuel efficient, so any additional distance may be dangerous.The study finds that from 2071 to 2100, nine out of 17 species examined are going to face longer migrations, particularly birds that cross the Sahara Desert. Some birds traverse the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea in a one go, while others have a break in northern Africa before crossing. Many fly at night, when temperatures are cooler.A few such as the Blackcap have started to adapt by spending winters in Britain, but such behavior remains exceptional, the study said. The study forecasts that the migration distance of the Orphean Warbler will jump from 2,700 kilometers (1,700 miles) to between 3,050 and 3,350 kilometers (1,900 and 2,100 miles), with even longer increases for the Subalpine and Barred Warblers.56. What does traveling extra distance mean for some migrating birds?A. Better living conditions.B. Better physical health.C. Stronger ability to fly. D. Bigger threat to life.57. To complete the marathon migrations, some birds have to do the following except _.A. have a break in the Sahara B. put on more weightC. reduce the size of internal organs D. fly at night to avoid the heat 58. What can we infer from the text?A. Birds have to migrate from Africa to Europe in winter.B. Global warming is bad for all birds worldwide. C. Birds that are of small size dont need to migrate.D. Some birds have to migrate unless they adapt to climate change.59. Whats the best title of the text?A. Climate change leads to disastrous consequenceB. The annual voyage of some speciesC. How birds migrate for longer distancesD. Climate change pushes birds to migrate fartherBGold Coast theme parks come in all shapes and sizes and whether you like roller coasters or patting furry animals, youre sure to find something.

We hadnt seen each other for a few months, so I decided to start a conversation with her. My cousin is studying in a vocational school of our city. Judging from her hairstyle and her clothing, you can get the impression that she is a fashionable girl. And her hobby is surfing the Internet, for she majors in computer science. Every time I am online, she is always online, listening to music or decorating her “personal space”. I like visiting her space. Its very creative and modern and worth a visit. I cant imagine my designing such a colorful web page. Theres no denying that teenagers are more innovative (创新的) than adults.When I read the sentences she sent to me, I noticed that the Chinese characters had been tweaked, but I could still comprehend their meaning. I took a strong interest in this type of new characters. Nowadays, Thanks to the Internet communication, new thoughts and ideas are being introduced to China, which challenged peoples traditional values and quickened their pace of life. Young people now are searching for a swift way to communicate with each other. QQ message and instant text message on the mobile phone are two major means they turn to. Further observation made me realize that they added some common radicals to the original characters, making them more vivid, a little like Japanese. My cousin said this gives new life to Chinese language and culture.Its no exaggeration to say the Internet has reinvented our language, but I still cant accept this new cultural phenomenon. Its an insult to our language. Some Chinese characters have meanings in their shapes; one shouldnt superficially change them by adding an additional radical. If the practice spreads among teenagers, it will not only cause damage to their learning, but also have a bad effect on the development of Chinese characters. Though the Internet is inevitably changing many aspects of our lives, we should preserve our cultural heritage which is a treasure passed down from thousands of years ago. Its selfish to distort Chinese characters merely to make them look more beautiful. If so, this has strayed far from the characters original meanings. So I persuaded my cousin to change her new idea and use standard characters to communicate. And she willingly accepted my advice.63.According to the text, we know that the authors cousin is a (n) _.A. studentB. model C. teacher D. engineer64.The author would like to visit his cousins space because _.A. it is difficult to design a web pageB. the music is well worth listening toC. it is very attractive and creativeD. it is the best one on the Internet65.The second paragraph mainly tells us that _.A. the Internet has an effect on the Chinese charactersB.

Chinese has benefited a lot from QQ and the text messageD. we should communicate with standard charactersDMy mother celebrates her 90th birthday today. She has asked me to keep it a secret and tell people she is only 89. For some reason she seems to think this sounds better. We really have our share of disagreements, but on this one I stand firm: I think 90 sounds pretty fantastic.My mother says she never thought she would live this long. She was weak and had two near fatal (致命的) illnesses under the age of 12. And then there was the fear of cancer. Her mother died of breast cancer when my mother was just 17, at a time when there was no such thing as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. When I was 17 years old, I was worried that my life would parallel hers. I never shared my fears. Instead I would lie awake at night in my bed with the yellow and orange flowered bedspread she had made for me, counting how much time we had left together. What I didnt know until years later was that she had had the same fear. She told me how she would write away for every piece of information she could find on how to prevent the fatal disease until my father made her stop. He told her she had to relax and stop worrying so much. She was going to be OK. He was right. And one October, many years into the future, we would celebrate her 90th birthday.My mother is the reason I live the life I do. Her fierceness and independence was how I learned to walk the path I have chosen. She was always a forward thinker, reading up on whats new and willing to try something different. She taught me kindness and to look out for those less fortunate than us. When Dad died far too young, my mother was the one who sat me down the afternoon after the funeral and told me life would go on, and that as hard as it was to imagine, I would be happy again. She helped me to understand that death was a part of life we could never escape and we must learn to accept it. Our roles have changed in recent years. She turns to me for help now. She asks me what to do. She is the one to call me when she is worried or concerned or needs help with something. I am the one who takes her shopping instead of her taking me. I am the one baking her favorite Greek cookies instead of her surprising me. She tells me constantly how proud she is of me and how grateful she is for what I do for her. She doesnt know from where I get my calm and how I do all I do. She says that now she learns from me. And while I know that is all true, I am still learning from her. My mother is one of the strongest people I know. I am more fortunate. I have had her to lead the way. And I am so grateful. The gift of her long life has been a gift to me. While my mother thinks we should keep this birthday quiet, I am not listening. I am celebrating her and the great fortune I have had to call her Mom.Happy 90th!67.
