by writing. his real name was samuel langhorne clemens, but he is better known all over the world as mark twain, his pen name. mark twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. in fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter. but with his mothers care, he managed to survive. as a boy, he caused much trouble for his parents. he used to play jokes on all his friends and neighbors. he didnt like to go to school, and he often ran away from home. he always went in the direction of the nearby mississippi. he was nearly drowned nine times. after his fathers death, mark twain began to work for a printer, who only provided him with food and clothing. then, he worked as a printer, a river-boat pilot and later joined the army. but shortly after that he became a miner. during this period, he started to write short stories. afterwards he became a full time writer. in 1870, mark twain got married. in the years that followed he wrote many books including tom sawyer in 1876, and huckleberry finn in 1884, which made him famous, and brought him great fortune. unfortunately, mark twain got into debts in bad investments(投资) and he had to write large numbers of stories to pay these debts. in 1904, his wife died, and then three of his children passed away.at the age of 70, his hair was completely white. he bought many white suits and neckties. he wore nothing but white from head to foot until his death on april 21, 1910.41. in his childhood, mark twain, _.a. learned a lot at school b. he often went swimming with other boysc. his mother often worried about his safetydhe often played games with other boys42. which of the following shows the right order about mark twain?a. he became a miner. b. he worked as a printer. c. hegot into debts.d. his father died. e. he became a full-time writer. f. he joined the army.a. a-d-b-c-e-fb. d-b-f-a-e-cc. d-a-f-e-b-cd. c-b-d-f-e-a43. in order to make a living, mark twain _.a. first worked as a printerb. did many kindsof workc. wrote stories in the beginningd. joined the army after he worked in a mine44. from the passage we can see that mark twain _.a. had a happy childhood b. was a good boy and always did what he was askedc. was very naughty when he was youngd. lived a pleasant life45. before his death, mark twain _.a. became a white man b. was in low spiritsc. liked to buy all kinds of clothesd. had nothing onb how to improve my life? many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. theyll say, “this is my fate, my destiny. i cannot change it.” of course not! you dont have to suffer needlessly. your destiny depends on you, not on any other external（外部的）factors. i know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. guess what her lifestyle is? she wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches tv, and then goes to sleep. next day, the same routine cycle follows. huh! is this what she calls “doing her best”? she believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that god has intended her to live; that her luck can only change if god wills it. of course god wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams. remember that you reap what you sow. you just dont sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. you have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the tv screen, and get your hands off the phone. dont expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. if something goes wrong, dont just regard it as a temporary (暂时的) setback (挫折); but use it as feedback. learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. its not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively. if someones life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? of course not! you get to do anything you can to save the person. so it is with your own life. it is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. in other words, dont just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.46. according to the woman mentioned in para.3, her life _.a. doesnt need improvingb. couldnt be improvedc. will be better some dayd. will be worse in the future47. what does the author think of the womans life?a. positiveb. satisfyingc. passived. colorful48. which of the following statements is the authors opinion?a. your temporary problem is not discouraging.b. your luck can be changed by your efforts.c. you can only achieve success when god wills it.d. you should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.49. in para.5, the

your normal wayc. believe in yourselfd. improve your lifecso you thought the hamburger was the worlds most popular fast food? after all, mcdonalds golden arches span（跨越）the globe（全球）. but no, there is

“pizza” and people were experimenting with more toppings: cheese, ham, anchovies and finally the tomato, brought to italy from mexico and peru in the sixteenth century. naples became the pizza capital of the world. in 1889, king umbertoand queen margherita heard about pizza and asked to try it. they invited pizza maker, raffele esposito, to make it for them. he decided to make the pizza like the italian flag, so he used red tomatoes, white mozzarella cheese and green basil leaves. the queen loved it and the new pizza was named “pizza margherita” in her honour.pizza went to america with the italians at the end of the nineteenth century. the first pizzeria in the united states was opened in 1905 at 53 spring street, new york city, by gennaro lombardi. but the popularity of pizza really exploded when american soldiers returned from italy after world war and raved about(夸赞) “that great italian dish”. americans are now the greatest producers and consumers of pizza in the world.51.

players, jeremy lins background is not typical. he graduated from harvard university, which sends few players to the nba, and he is the only chinese-american nba player. but when you watch him on the court, there is no doubt that he belongs there. he moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years of faithful practice, which is fueled by a love for basketball.lins enjoyment of basketball actually began in taiwan. when lins father moved to u.s., his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son, introducing him to the game at the age of five. the young lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.in high school, lin dreamed of playing in the nba. when he applied for college, he was not offered a single sports scholarship. however, after his admission to harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team.during lins time at harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. he scored 1,482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in ivy league history.when he graduated, no professional teams offered lin a contract（合同）, but he was invited to play in the nba summer league. he played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the golden state warriors.at first，playing in professional games filled lin with excitement. he treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on tv for years. but slowly, the excitementwore offand was replaced by anxiety. in a few very difficult months, he was cut by two teams before the new york knicks picked him up.but he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream, so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come. then his moment arrived on february 4, 2012，on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight. after that, he led the knicks to their fifth straight victory.the associated press called lin the most surprising story in the nba. knicks fans developed the nickname for him linsanity（林发疯）. time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100 most influential people in the world, jeremy lin included.no doubt, lin fever is continuing to spread if you havent already caught
