Sold to the woman in the red dress!” Auction（拍卖） houses are places of huge excitement and draw huge crowds. Works of fine art, furniture or jewellery change hands with the nod of a bidders head or a slight movement of the hand .Many people attend sales just to watch the drama as prices go up and up as bidders compete for a prized work of art.The auction houses receive a commission(提成) for each work they sell. They also make money by judging the value of works of art and advising clients（客户） on how much they should raise at sale. Sellers usually specify a reserve price. This means they set a price below which they are not willing to go. But, if they set the reserve too high, then bidders could be discouraged from bidding.The auctioneer stands at the front of the room and introduces the piece for sale. He or she will know exactly who the important bidders in the room are and which works they are interested in buying.However, many wealthy business people value their privacy and prefer to bid anonymously（匿名的） by telephone.

On September 3, the American tennis player said a tearful goodbye to his 21-year career after a third-round defeat in the US Open. The 36-year-old tried his best, but was unable to keep up with German Benjamin Becker, more than ten years his junior. “The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesnt say is what Ive found.” Apace said to the fans. “I have found inspiration and you willed me to succeed.” It was an emotional speech at the end of a long career. Agassi hated tennis as a teenager as much as he loves it now. His father made him play when he was a child. He got bored, and became a rebel. The strict training that his father pushed upon him got in the way of his wild life-style. He grew hair long, wore colorful clothes and spat at an umpire. Over the years, he has made bad jokes during news conferences. Asked what he would say to his 17-year-old self, Agassi answered, “I would say, I understand you a lot more than I want to be you.” The turning point in Agassis career came in 1992 when he unexpectedly won his first Grand Slam at Wimbledon. It was the first time Agassi understood what real champions finally understand: “winning is a test of nerves and not just power, its a marathon, not a sprint”.And what a marathon Agassi was about to begin. He cut his long hair, got fitter and tightened up emotionally. On the court, he was ranked No 1 for almost two years. His lowest point came in 1997 when his ranking dropped to No 141. He didnt quit though. “I knew that I would try to get the most out of myself every day from that day forward. That was my commitment,” he said. “That never stopped.”45. Why was Agassi very emotional when saying goodbye to his career?A. Because he lost to a player the years younger than him.B. Because he felt very sad that he was no longer the best player.C.

A. he was thankful to his fansB. he refused to accept failureC. he wished he hadnt hated tennis when youngD. he decided to take marathon as his new career47. Through winning, Agassi learned that _.A. he didnt try his best in his career B. it must take a long time for anyone to winC. people need to persevere to win D. winning once or twice is not enough48. It can be inferred from the passage that Agassis father_.A. was an excellent tennis player B. was good at raising AgassiC. played a key role in Agassi choosing his career D. spent most of his time training his sonCThe Lies of George W.

The Nation DDo you blank out, freeze up or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just the night before?If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety.But, dont panic. By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overcoming it.Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly. This is because under stress, the body releases the hormone adrenaline, which prepares it for something important that will happen. However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite before tests, and poor performance. Some people might feel shaky, hot or even sick.If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety. Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety.When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what youre doing and make your mind a blank. If possible, actually tell yourself to“STOP!” This will get your mind off the stress.Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax. As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first. This will help restore your confidence.Talk to yourself using positive language. Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a logical reason. For example: “Ive studied hard and I know the material, so Im ready to do the best I can.”Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes. In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities. Last but not least, start preparation early-three to five days ahead of the quiz or test. After all, good study habits and skills-for example, time management and note taking will give you the feeling that you are in control. 53.

Develop a positive attitude EBy choosing to let go of the past, we sweep out all the ashes that weigh us down and affect every aspect of our health, and our peace of mind.My friend Jean was divorced after a thirty-year marriage that produced three daughters, one son and eight grandchildren. Because she actually raised them single-handedly, Jean was hurt and angry that the children didnt take her part after the divorce. For months she refused to attend any family celebration to which her former husband Jim was invited. When I reasoned that her childrens understanding of the relationship with and between the parents was probably altogether different from hers, she stuck to the belief that she was right.One day Jean called in tears. “Saturday is my granddaughters birthday, and I want to be with her, but I cant bring myself to face my former
