People have generally viewed personal growth as an external(外在的)result or a product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve and the foreigner who learns a new languageall these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts. By contrast(对照), the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine. since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept. In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more changes and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think were shy and indecisive?Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think were slow to adapt to change or that we re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all. These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not face and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.56. In the author s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would . A. succeed in climbing up the social ladder B. judge his ability to grow from his own achievements C. face difficulties and take up challenges D. aim high and reach his goal each time57. About personal growth, the author advocates all of the following except . A. curiosity about more changes B. quickness in self-adaptation C. open-mindedness to new experiences D. avoidance of internal fears and doubts58. The best title for this passage should be . A. Facing new challenges B. Growth-product or process C. Unavoidable feeling of self-doubt D. Overcoming internal fearsBThe United States is one of the few countries in the world that has 3n official day on which fathers are honored by their children. On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across the United States are given presents, treated to dinner or otherwise made to feel special. However, the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, WashingtonA woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Fathers Day while listening to a Mother s Day sermon(布道)in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died, Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices(牺牲)and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless and loving man . Sonora s father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Fathers Day celebration in Spikane , Washington on the 19th of June, 1910. In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Fathers Day . Roses are the Father s Day flowers：red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died. When children can t visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental(感伤的). Most greeting cards are too special so fathers laugh when they open them.Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad. 59. The United States is special in Fathers Day because . A. many people celebrate the day B. only America celebrates the day C. America makes it an official day D. all men are honored in America60. At first, Fathers Day was fixed on June 19th because _. A. Sonora honored her father on her fathers birthday B. Sonoras birthday was June l 9 C. it was decided by the president at that time D. her mother died on June 1961. How many years has passed before Fathers Day became an official day since the fathers day was celebrated? A. 4. B. 10. C. 14. D. 24.62. According to the passage, we can infer that Henry Jackson Smart . A. was very kind to anyone B. did a lot for his daughter C. was the first father honored in 1924D. always help others by giving moneyCThe first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space showed it 3s a solid ball covered by brown land masses and blue-green oceans. We had never seen the Earth from that distance before. To us, it appeared as though the Earth had always looked that way and always would. Scientists now know, however, that the surface of the Earth is not as permanent as we had thought. Scientists explain that the surface of our planet is always moving. Continents moves about the Earth like huge ships at sea. They float on pieces of the Earths outer skin. New outer skin is created as melted rock pushed up from below the ocean floor. Old outer skin is destroyed as it rolls down into the hot area and melts again. Only since the 1960s have scientists really began to understand that the planet Earth is a great living machine. Some experts have said this new understanding is one of the most important revolutions in scientific thought. The revolution is based on the work of scientists who study the movement of the continents-a science called plate tectonics. The modern story of plate tectonics begins with the German scientist Alfred Wegener. Before World War One . Wegener argued that the continents had moved and were still moving. He said the idea first occurred to him when he observed that the coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together like two pieces of a puzzle. He proposed that the two continents might have been one and then split apart. Wegener was not the first person t0 wonder about the shape of the continents. About 500 years ago, explorers thought about it when they made the first maps of Americas. The explorers noted the east coast of North America and South America would fit almost exactly into the west coast of Europe and south Africa. What the explorers did not do, but Wegener did, was to investigate the idea that the continents move. 63. What does the writer mainly tell us in the passage? A. The first breath-taking pictures of the Earth taken from space. B. Humans recognition of the earths surface. C. The German scientist Alfred Wegener. D. The early explorers discovery. 64. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. We didnt see the Earth from far away until we saw the picture taken in the space. B. Our ancient thought that the surface of the earth is still. C. Alfred Wegener was not the first person to investigate the idea that the continents move. D. The coastline of India and Africa fit together. 65. The last word of the third paragraph“tectonics”mean“ ”. A. study of construction B. study of architecture C. earth surface D. structural geology 66. What did the explorers find? A. The coastlines of South America and Africa could fit together. B. The coastlines of North America and Africa could fit together. C. The east coastlines of North America and the west coast of Europe could fit together. D. The coastlines of North America and India could fit together.DIs a loved one missing some body parts? Is everyone at your dinner table of the same species? Humans and chimps(黑猩猩)differ in only 400 genes. And should that worry us? Is it horrible for you thinking one fifth of all our genes are owned by someone else, or a person and his family may be hunted cross-country because they happen to have certain valuable genes? We live in a time of great scientific leaps! Next challenges our sense of reality, blending fact and fiction into a breathless tale of a new world where nothing is what it seems.The son of a zookeeper, 16 year-old Pi Patel is raised in Pondicherry, India.

So if we want to study the history of China in the sixth century AD, we look at the writings of the people who lived then. They are called the primary sources because they tell us what it was like to live then. People at a much later date who write about the same events are called the secondary sources . For example, when we read the original writings of Jia Sixie on agriculture, weare reading a primary source；when we read about Jia Sixie in our textbook we are reading secondary source because the passage was written about him and his ideas many years after he died. When we make news we use primary and secondary sources. We can see this most clearly in TV programmes . As we watch the news on TV, the person presenting the programme in the studio is the secondary source(because he tells us about the news) and the reporter in Iraq or Washington is the primary source(because he is telling us about what is actually happening there). Without these reporters acting as primary sources , you would never find out what really happened in a war, earthquake, sports meeting , concert or festival. These reporters explain what is happening so we hav
