and for the six cars behind me, ” she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. one after another, the next six drivers arriving at ht tollbooth were informed, “some lady up ahead already paid your fare.” it turned out that the woman, natalie smith, had head something on a friends refrigerator：“practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.” the phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down. judy foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. when it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “i thought it was beautiful,” she said, explaining way shed taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above. ” her husband, frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of alice johnson, a local news reporter. alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didnt know where it came from or what it really meant. two days later , alice got a call from anne herbert, a woman living in marin. it was in a restaurant that anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days. “heres the idea,” anne says. “anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.” her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. anne says, “kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.” the acts of random kindness spread. if you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid, who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. let it be yours!judy foreman copied down the phrase because she_.a. decided to write it on a warehouse wall b. wanted to know what it really meantc. thought it was beautifully written d. wanted

closest in the meaning to the underlined sentence above?kindness and violence can reproduce themselves.kindness and violence can change the world.kindness and violence can affect ones behavior.kindness and violence can shape ones character.what can we infer from the last paragraph?people should practice random kindness to those in need.people should practice random kindness to strangers they meet.people who receive kindness are likely to offer it to others.people who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver. csome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. im not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont come into play because they do. some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life is.however, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. and, in addition to that , in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10 000 hours studying and practicing. to become great at certain things, itll require even more time, time that most people wont put in.this is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. if you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.when you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway.whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. if youre not willing to put in the time and work, dont expect to receive any rewards. consistent, hard work wont guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.paragraph 1 mainly talks about _. a. the meaning of success b. the reasons for success c. the standards of success d. the importance of successin paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to _.a. being good at something b. succeeding in life c. putting in more time d. setting a practical goalsuccessful people suggest doing what one loves because _. a. it takes a lot of time to succeed b. one tends to enjoy his work c. one gives up his work easily d. work makes one feel painwhat can we infer from paragraph 4 ?successful people like to show their great skills.people need to achieve success at the cost of life.it helps to think that luck or talent leads to success. people sometimes succeed without luck or talent.what is main theme of the passage?having a goal is vital to success. being good is different from being great.one cannot succeed without time and practice. luck, talent and family help to achieve success. dsince the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. brain-computer interface(bci) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machine.recently, two researchers, jose millan and michele tavella from th federal polytechnie school in lausanne, switzerland, demonstrated(展示) a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts.in the laboratory, tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand, he could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has billions of nerve cells. these send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓) to the muscles to give uf the ability to move. but spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” tavella says. “our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”the researchers designed a special cap for the user. this head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. the computer interprets the signal and commands the motorized wheelchair. the wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. they help the computer react to commands from the brain.prof. millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “the practical possibilities that bci technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories; communication, and controlling devices. one example is this wheelchair.”he says his team has set two goals. one is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. and the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.how did tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory? a. by controlling his muscles. b. by talking to the machine. c. by using his mind d. .by moving his hand.which of the following would be the best title for the text?bci could mean more freedom for the disabledswitzerland, the bci research centernew findings about how the human brain worksrobotic vehicles could help to cure brain injuries第二节：（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。kids health: four steps for fighting stress everybody gets stressed time to time._16_some
