Interviews and investigation(调查) tell us that successful people have several keys to success.First of all, successful people never blame or laugh at a failed person. They believe he will succeed if he works hard and tries again and again. They also believe that their future is in their own hands. Next, they understand that they cant control things such as nature, the past and the other people. At the same time, they think they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take care of their own life. Perhaps the biggest difference between successful people and others is: they live “on purpose” they are doing what they believe. They say that having a purpose in their life is the most important. They also ask themselves to do the job right. They love what they do, they never easily give up. Then, they use the knowledge to encourage themselves and go after what they want. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are ready and pleased to do whatever it takes to reach their goals.46. In this passage, the writer mainly wants to tell us .A. why successful people succeed B. where successful people work C. what successful people look like D. who the successful people are47. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “blame” is .A.重视 B.核对 C.嘲笑 D.指责48. Successful people think their future is in their hands because .A. their own thoughts can control their future B. their hands are big enough to hold their future.C. their dreams will come true by their own hard work D. their heads are much bigger than the others.49. The biggest difference between successful people and others is that .A. they can control everything in life B. they love their work and live “on purpose”.C. they have many goals of life and a lot of knowledge D. they try to do everything if possible50. From the passage we know that successful people .A. need to set up many great goals B. will try their best to reach their goalsC. can use their knowledge in everyday life D. will give up anything if they find it difficult to finishBSometimes people are not clear about what kind of food is healthy, and what kind of food may do harm to our health. The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about which kind of food is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat (like fish and chicken), daily (like milk and cheese), grains(like bread and rice), fruit and vegetables. The last group is fats and sweets. The USDA also suggests how much of each food group is healthy to eat daily. Though this guide was prepared by the US government, it is very useful for people all over the world.As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount of grains, fruit and vegetables. Because of the way they eat, they have a high rate of cancer and heart disease(疾病). In Japan, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low rate of cancer and heart disease. The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. However, when Japanese people move to the US, the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating habit changes. And as hamburgers, ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan, the rate of heart disease and cancer is going up there as well. People are also eating more meat and dairy food in other countries, in which the disease rate is going up along with the change of the way people eat. Doctors everywhere suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and less meat and dairy food.Eating healthily is important for children as well as their parents. When parents have poor eating habits, their children usually do, too. After all , children eat in the same way as their parents. When parents eat healthy food, the children will learn to enjoy it, too. Then they will develop good eating habits. Doctors suggest parents give their children healthier food such as fruit, vegetables and juice.Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects(影响) us in different ways. For example, doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can really protect people from many different diseases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause disease. We can change our eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living.51. What is the USDA in the passage?A. A group of doctors in the US B. An office of the US governmentC. A report on diseases in the US D. An order given by the US president52. What does the underlined word “grains” mean in Chinese?A.谷物 B.脂肪 C.蛋白质 D.维生素53. The second paragraph mainly tells us that .A. Japanese are always healthier than Americans B. living in the US is not good for peoples healthC. if you eat too much fat you will have cancer D. the way we eat may cause some health problems.54. Which of the following is the best answer according to the third paragraph?A. More and more people have good eating habits now B. Parents eating habits are important to their children.C. Good eating habits develop only when you are young D. The more fruit and vegetables we eat, the longer we will live55. The greatest help the passage gives us is .A. to introduce a food guide to the world B. to provide us with knowledge of sic food groupsC. to suggest a way of eating for a healthy life D. to find the main cause of some serious diseaseCSoon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyones eyes are different. So in the future you wont have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. Youll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.The eye-recognition(识别)program is already being tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon, this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.However, scientists are working on other systems. Machines will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark made by your finger.Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes dont change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the program can be up to94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. Some programs may only be right 51% of the time. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.In the future your computer will be looking you in the eye. So smile!56.
