do you look at your glass and see it as half full? do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that generally things turn out for the best? do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will be? if you reply “yes” to all of these questions, then you are an optimist. you probably are enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. you may well be successful at work and in love.but you may be misguided because things dont turn out for the best. you may believe that when one door closes another one opens (for example, you may fail to land a new job, another chance will come around soon), wrong. when one door closes, another door slams in your face. thats bitter reality.now a book has been published which confirms what we pessimists (悲观者）have suspected all along. its called the positive power of defensive pessimism. its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. defensive pessimists prepare for things by setting low outcomes for themselves. they carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems. and this gives them a sense of control. lawrence sanno, a psychology professor, says, “whats interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situations outcomes is not realistic. they use it to motivate themselves to perform better. ”so far, so good. this is not rocket science. defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on a date or even in a sports game. it makes sense to have a back-up plan. there are many sayings in english urging caution. for example, “dont put all your eggs in one basket,” and “dont count your chickens until they hatch. “to have a confident and optimistic approach to lifes problems is good. but listen to what woody alien, the american comedian says, “confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”there are pros and cons to being an optimist and a pessimist. dont feel bad if you see the glass half empty. you are a realist. but lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.41. what is the passage mainly about?a. a book that has recently been published.b. the dangers of being too optimistic.c. the benefits of defensive pessimism.d. how to become successful in life.42. the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to _.a. the final outcomeb. their low opinionc. peoples motivationd. their performance43. the underlined sentence “this is not rocket science” in paragraph 4 means_.a. the cost is not so high b. there is no real proofc. its not a dangerous thing to do d. it is quite simple to understand44. the writer would probably describe himself as _.a. an optimist b. a realist c. a defeatist d. a scientist45. which of the following english expressions would a defensive pessimist believe? a. every cloud has a silver lining.b. the glass is half full not half empty.c. whatever will be, will be.d. dont put all your eggs in one basket.bbelow is a brochure about the british library.eventsthe taking liberties events programme explores themes raised by the thought that has brought about this exhibition. a wide range of discussions, talks, comedy events and live music provide further understanding of the personal stories of those who have struggled for freedom and show how the debate continues today. free group tours, gallery talks, local events and learning classrooms are also available.for more information please visit www.bl.uk/takingliberties. adopt a bookplease support the british library with a “novel” gift. for as little as 25, you can help the library preserve the nations treasures for generations to come. there are hundreds of titles to choose from including many first edition classics.for a full list books available and details on how to adopt a book, please visit www.bl.uk/adoptabook.friendsthe friends of the british library is a charity to helping the library develop its holdings and its facilities. members enjoy a lot of tours of the exhibitions: visit to specialized departments and to other important libraries, access to the friends room and discounts in the shop and restaurant.for more information you can talk to a representative at the friends desk in the entrance hall or visit www.bl.uk/friends.shopthe british library shop has a wide selection of taking liberties-related books, including the official exhibition book taking liberties: the struggle for britains freedom and rights by mike ashley and taking stock of taking liberties: a personal view by linda colley, plus a large range of goods, including postcards, stationery, bags and souvenirs.www.bl.uk/shop. british library web pagessearches 10,000 web pages from the main british library website. you can also browse the pages using the links on our home page or the site map.online gallery: searches 30,000 images from online gallery.catalogue records: searches the british library catalogue, which contains records for 14 million items, including books, series, printed music and maps.journal articles: searches records of over 9 million articles published, during the last five years, in the 20,000 most heavily requested journals at the british library.many of our specialist catalogues are not yet included in the home page search. searching these will give you a more complete picture of what we have available.46. where can a reader buy some pens as gifts for their friends in the british library?

a. the library with all its property.b. all the books of the library. c. the finance of the library.d. the equipment and the staff of the library.cpop stars today enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty. wherever they go, people turn out in their thousands to greet them. the crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling, colorfully dressed idols. the stars are transported in their chauffeur driven rolls royces, private helicopters or executive airplanes. they are surrounded by a permanent entourage (随从) of managers, press agents and bodyguards. photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported, for, like royalty, pop stars are news. if they enjoy many of the privileges of royalty, they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well. it is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public. they must be constantly shielded from the adoring crowds who idolize them. they are no longer private individuals, but public property. the financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated, for their rates of pay are great.and why not? society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly. the great days of hollywood have become legendary: famous stars enjoyed fame, wealth and adulation (奉承) on an all time scale. by todays standards, the excesses of hollywood do not seem quite so spectacular. a single gramophone record（唱片） nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films of the past ever did. the competition for the title “top of the pops” is fierce, but the rewards are truly huge.it is only right that the stars should be paid in this way. dont the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the service they perform to their companies and their countries? pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currency often more than large industrial companies and the taxman can only be grateful for their massive annual contributions to the exchequer (国库). so who would envy them their rewards?its all very well for people in boring jobs to complain about the successes and rewards of others. people who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg. for every famous star, there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living. a man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards. he has chosen security and peace of mind, so there will always be a limit to what he can earn. but a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks. he knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top. he knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure. but he knows, too, that the rewards for success are very high indeed: they are the payback for the huge risks involved and once he makes it, he will certainly earn them. thats the essence of private enterprise. 50. the author develops the passage mainly by _.a. comparing different ideasb. giving explanationsc. inferringd. listing typical examples51. in paragraph 2, what does the author want to tell by mentioning hollywood?a. pop stars now can get an even higher pay than those famous hollywood stars in the past.b. today filmmakers make smaller profits than those making gramophone records in hollywood.c. hollywood stars used to enjoy a life admired by many ordinary people.d. successful stars in hollywood only represent the tip of the iceberg.52. according to the passage, which of the following can match the view of the author?a. he who laughs last laughs best.b. success belongs to the persevering.c. he who makes no mistakes makes nothing.d. if you venture nothing, you will gain nothing.53. the author holds a(n) _ attitude towards the high income of pop stars.a. criticalb. optimisticc. approvingd. indifferent54. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. people are blind in idolizing stars.b. there exists fierce competition in becoming pop stars.c. the government taxes pop stars very little.d. pop stars life is more luxurious than that of royalty.dlast christmas was a very difficult time for me. my family and all of my close friends were back home in florida, and i was all alone in a rather cold california. i was working too many hours and became very sick.i was working a double shift at the southwest airlines ticket counter, it was about 9:00 pm on christmas eve, and i was feeling really miserable inside. there were a few of us working and very few customers waiting to be helped. when it was time for me to call the next person to the counter, i looked out to see the sweetest-looking old man standing with a cane. he walked very slowly over to the counter and in the faintest voice told me that he had to go to new orleans. i tried to explain to him that there were no more flights that night and that he would have to go in the morning. he looked so confused and very w
