luck! im not 40 about dishonest or illegal ways. im talking about hard, 41 work. but successful people work smart. they keep improving and making the most of their abilities. yet they also learn to 42 for help in things they themselves are not that good 43 doing. so we not only must make the most of our own special strengths, we must also learn our 44 and weaknesses. a man recently got his lucky

classroom. i remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. one day, i found the source code for one of these games. without knowing or being taught any programming language, i was able to figure out some of the basic code. i just gave myself a limitless number of lives in the game, so i could continue playing it forever. this was also my first introduction to algebra, and i didnt even know it at the time. this was a decisive moment in my life. i was quite excited because of what i was learning and what i was able to do. as a result, i was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and i was quite happy doing them too. ive noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. this enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. it also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. it may also lead to success, wealth and achievements.success, wealth or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet i know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. i know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. i know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.56. what can we know from paragraph 1?a. the author has a great talent for algebra.b. creative thinking is necessary for every child.c. the basic code of the computer is not difficult.d. the authors experience in his childhood changed his life.57. the author wants to tell us through the first paragraph that_.a. interest is the best teacher b. children are the hope of the futurec. young people are fearless d. where theres a will , theres a way58. what is the secret of happiness in the authors opinion?a. success and wealth. b. gifts and self-confidence.c. enthusiasm and good health. d. knowledge and achievements.59. we can infer from the last paragraph that _.a. rich people generally feel unhappyb. wealth cant bring people any happinessc. one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things he wantsd. being enthusiastic about what you are doing is more important than wealthjune 3, 2013suzanne rogersultra-ergonomic

they are pale blue and transparent in color, and get their name from the cube-like shape of their body, box jellyfish have 6 eyes on all 4 sides of their body, although it is uncertain how they process what they see as they do not have a central nervous system. they also have up to 15 tentacles （触须）growing from each corner of their body that have about 5,000 stinging（带刺的）cells each.box jellyfish can be found primarily in the coastal waters off northern australia as well as throughout the indo-pacific. they prefer to live at river mouths. they do not have any organs to breathe, and will sleep on the ocean floor from 3 pm to dawn. unlike other jellyfish that merely move along with the current, box jellyfish have developed a way to travel wherever they want to go. they will shoot themselves in a jet-like fashion, reaching speeds of up to 7.4 kilometers per hour.the diet of box jellyfish consists of thing like fish, small animals, and even other jellyfish. they use their venom, a chemical which causes heart, skin, and breath failure, to kill their prey. since box jellyfish have eyes, some scientists believe that they actively hunt their prey while others insist that they are just passive opportunists that will wait and catch anything that wanders into their tentacles.box jellyfish are responsible for more human deaths in australia than snakes, sharks, and salt-water crocodiles combined. it is best to avoid them as most stings will result in death. hopefully, humans and box jellyfish can find a way to live with one another while keeping conflicts to a bare minimum. after all, such a unique species of jellyfish deserves to live and grow just as humans do.63. what do we not know about box jellyfish from the first paragraph? a. its size. b. its hardness. c. its color. d. its poisonousness64. what can be learned about box jellyfish from paragraph 2?a. they live in the deep sea in groups b. they can breathe on the ocean floor. c. they usually move along with the current. d. they can decide the direction in which they move.65. the underlined word “they” in paragraph3 refers to _. a. box jellyfish b. scientists c. box jellyfishs prey d. box jellyfishs tentacles66. the text is mainly about _. a. a kind of sea animal b. some poisonous animals c. scientists research into box jellyfish d. the relationship between humans and jellyfishpoor weather. technical difficulties. these are some of the typical causes of cancelled trains and planes. but sometimes, the excuse can be a lot more trivial.just recently, passengers waiting for a train to peterborough heard the following announcement, “for reasons beyond our control, we regret to inform passengers that the 13:46 train to peterborough has been cancelled. the next train will be arriving on platform in approximately 36 minutes.”oh, well, another delayed train, thought most passengers. but a couple of them decided to enquire further. incredibly, they were informed that the real reason for the non-arrival of the train was that the driver refused to do his job because his seat was wet.“a wet seat? thats got to be a joke,” said one passenger angrily. “i wouldnt normally complain if the train is just a bit delayed, but this was unbelievable, ” he added. “what really made me angry is that this driver refused to get in the train,” said another passenger. “he probably went off for a cup of tea after that!” she added.a spokesperson for the rail company apologized for the incident, but said the driver couldnt sit on the damp seat, and wouldnt be able to drive the train standing up. the spokesperson went on to explain that the seat had become wet after water entered through an open window when the train was being cleaned in a “train wash”in another transport-related incident, a flight from chicago to frankfurt made an emergency landing in canada after the pilot spilled his coffee. apparently, the spilt liquid caused the planes radio to send out “transponder code 7500”, which is used to inform ground control that theres been a hi-jacking (劫机). after landing in toronto, the 255 passengers crew members were put up in a hotel for the night, then flown on to frankfurt the following afternoon. “what a disgusting trip!” said one tired passenger after the painful experience had ended.so, does your job have the potential to cause such disorder?67. why did the driver of the train refused to do his job?a. his seat was damp. b. his pay was lowc. the weather was terrible d. his coffee was spilled68. the underlined word “trivial” in paragraph 1 means “_”.a. damp b. unimportant c. emergent d. convincing69. the flight made an emergency landing in canada because “_”.a. the plane was hijacked b. the plane engines went wrongc. the pilot ran out of coffee d. the planes radio sent out a wrong signal70. which of the following is the best title of the passage?a. wet seat, canceled train! b. spilled coffee, emergency landing!c. small incident, big disruptions! d. innocent driver, angry passengers!第二节（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的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。ways to save timewe all wish we had just a bit more timejust think what you could do with an extra hour
