innovations, are practically prehistoric in internet terms. whats buzzing now is “hold steady” the term comes from a segment (片段) on the taiwanese tv show university which features miss lin(xie yilin) giving a lecture on how to behave like a fashion queen at parties or on the bus. the extremely funny lecture is mainly an over-the-top mockery(嘲笑) of the fashion world, but miss lin makes a point: we need to hold steady in pressure-filled or embarrassing situations.holding steady, internet slang for “staying poised”, is one of the qualities the public has been looking for lately as pressures on marriage, work and money can easily drive people crazy. the quality was demonstrated by a girl named su miaoling this year. the contestant in the tv singing competition super girl carried herself with an air of confidence on stage and kept her cool when others got anxious. “i like your poise(淡定). very few contestants on this stage can keep calm like you do,” said one of the shows judges, hu haiquan, to su. internet users dubbed su “sister poise”.poise is also appreciated in western culture as an essential quality of a well-mannered person. each year, the national league of junior cotillions of the us releases a list of the ten best mannered people. kate middleton made it onto the list in 2011 “for the poise and dignity with which she conducts herself in the public spotlight”. the duchess of cambridge was also acclaimed earlier this year for her remarkable poise at the royal wedding.good news for many, poise is not genetic-it can be acquired with a bit of effort. a personal growth guidance gives tips on how to stay poised. “take a few deep breaths when you are facing a situation that tests your patience; practice yoga regularly to calm your nerves; use self-affirmation by saying i choose to be calm in any situation; write down your affirmation daily to imprint the goal,” reads the site.51. according to the passage, what does “hold steady” mean?a. well balanced b. hold still c. remain stable d. keep calm52. which of the following statements is not true?a. poise isnt born with people, so it can be acquired.b. under different pressures, people hope to keep calm.c. “hold steady” comes from a lecture given by a fashion queen.d. in western culture, holding steady is a quality of well-mannered people.53. which of the following is not the way to hold steady?a. learn to use self-encouragement. b. write the goals to be achievedc. practice yoga regularly to calm your nerves.d. take deep breaths when facing difficult situations.54. the purpose of this passage is to_.a. introduce the internet hot term “hold steady” b. tell funny stories about how to hold steadyc. demonstrate how to keep calm under pressured. give advice on how to keep cool in daily life b breathe, wave and smile. along with more than 300 other seniors, i marched into the stadium on the afternoon of may 10. the audience burst into deafening cheers. the huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.it was as if a hollywood superstar had walked on stage. and indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. each deserved it. the seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime momentthe commencement(毕业典礼).seated, i waited anxiously for the opening address. as a foreign exchange student, i was not able to receive a diploma. however, i still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things. like the other graduates, i was dressed in marron cap and gown(方帽长袍).our principal, mr. glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. the us national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn pledge of allegiance(对美国的忠孝宣誓).students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. the tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. it was as the class motto says, “life brings us tears, smiles and memories. the tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.”then came the core (核心) of the commencement. hundreds of names were announced. each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. from the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.to be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. a girl sitting next to me even started yawning. but it wasnt boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.a new page in the book of that persons life had turned. they were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.55. whats the article mainly about?a. an american high schools graduation ceremonyb. the opening ceremony of a sports meeting.c. a presentation of college diplomas.d. a us colleges farewell party.56. which of the following statements about the author is false?a. she was one of the graduates.b. she was a foreign exchange student.c. she was excited to receive her diploma.d. she felt it great to be at the ceremony.57. the right order of the following events is_.a. diplomas were presented to graduates.b. students gave farewell speeches.c. the us national anthem was played.d. the principal gave a short, warm speech.e. seniors went into the stadium.a. b,c,a,d,eb. c,d,b,e,ac. d,b,e,a,cd. e,d,c,b,a58. from the text, we can conclude that_.a. a diploma ensures a good jobb. a diploma guarantees a bright futurec. the commencement symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in lifed. everyone felt excited at the presentation of the diplomaconce there was a young woman who didnt like her job. everyday when she came home from work, she told her husband how terrible her day had been, how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss. “leave that job,” her husband told her.“oh, i will,” she said. “but not yet. i have too many friends there for me to leave.” and so she remained unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children. “leave that job,” her grandchildren told her. “oh, i will,” she said. “but not yet. there are only seven more years until i reach thirty years of service and can retire. so i cant just yet.” i know this woman. and her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on the porch of a general store, moaning and groaning in the sun. “why is your dog acting that way?” a customer asked the store owner. “oh,” answered the man. “hes lying on a nail.” “well, why doesnt he move?” “because its not hurting him bad enough.”thats true for people, too. we convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we know. but were wrong. prolonged work pain is continuing. some work pain damages our self-esteem, kills our passion or destroys our dreams.wilbur wright once commented, “we could hardly wait to get up in the morning. i know that exhilarating feeling of being so passionate about something i was working on that i couldnt wait to get back to work. and people who are winning at working know that kind of passion, too.”they get excited about work. they offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly. and when things dont change as they sometimes will, they refuse to let environment hijack(劫持) their self-esteem, passion or dreams.59. the woman complained to her husband every day because .a. she didnt have enough money to support her familyb. her boss criticized her for what she had donec. she was not satisfied with her job at alld. her work was difficult and her boss was cruel60. from the second paragraph we can know that the woman .a. liked making friends with othersb. loved all of her children very muchc. left her tiring job at last d. did exactly the same job all along61. the underlined word “prolonged” (in paragraph 4) means .a. lastingb. slightc. seriousd. hard62. people who are getting along well with their work .a. have to get up early every dayb. are not willing to go to workc. need more unique gifts and talentsd. are likely to change with the situation d do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? when someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture. for example, someone might say, i just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. it was great. i took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars! this guys a winner, right? maybe, maybe not. we then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. hes really a big loser! he didnt say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. thats called a half-truth. half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest. some politicians often use this trick. lets say that during governor smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. then she seeks another term. one of her opponents (对手) says, “during governor smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” thats true. however, an honest statement would have been, “during governor smiths term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.” advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. its against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. an advertisement might say, “nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take yucky pills to cure toothache.” it fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the yucky company. this kind of deception happens too often. its a sad fact of life: lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.63. how much did the lottery winner lose?a. one hundred dollars. b. two hundred dollars.
