What drives them? Interviews and investigations _41_ that there are several keys to success that successful people share. First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their _42_ to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot _43_ things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take _44_ for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most _45_ successful people from others is that they live a life “on purpose” - they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully _46_ people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. They love what they do - and it shows. People want to do business with them because of their commitment (责任心). To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and _47_ a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are _48_ to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Rather than seeing it _49_ or depressing they use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The Making of a SurgeonHow does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident (进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question on more than one occasion.The answer, I concluded, was _50_. When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently (胜任地), treat just _51_ or better than any other surgeon” - then, and not until then, you are indeed a surgeon. I was _52_ that point.Take, _53_, the emergency situations that we met almost every nightThe first few months of the year I had _54_ the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical resolution to be _55_. Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular _56_, Id have trouble getting back to sleep. Id _57_ all the facts of the case and, often, wonder if I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the morning, after lying _58_ for an hour, Id get out of bed, dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only way I could find the _59_ of mind I needed to relax.Now, in the last month of my residency, _60_ was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldnt be sure of my decision, but I had learned to accept this as a _61_ problem for a surgeon. I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision Id made was certain to be a _62_ one. It was a nice feeling.This all sounds conceited (自负的) and I guess it is - but a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when hes bothered by the _63_ and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine. He has to feel that hes as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world. Call it conceit - call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it. And it is, I am sure, what a person has to make a(n) _64_ in life.50. A. self-service B. self-appreciation C. self-respect D. self-confidence51. A. more than B. as well as C. other than D. as long as52. A. supporting B. approving C. handling D. approaching53. A. for example B. in reality C. by contrast D. at intervals54. A. valued B. avoided C. feared D. enjoyed55. A. adopted B. applied C. included D. developed56. A. condition B. state C. occasion D. situation57. A. retell B. review C. revise D. remind58. A. awake B. ashamed C. awkward D. asleep59. A. peace B. trouble C. sorrow D. excitement60. A. driving B. reviewing C. sleeping D. operating61. A. medical B. constant C. surgical D. rare62. A. critical B. specific C. proper D. difficult63. A. confidence B. conceit C. solutions D. doubts64. A. effort B. success C. chance D. promiseSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AChange is one of the common facts of life. Most of us have seen a number of changes in our own lives from simple things like fashion trends and entertainment to big changes in technology.Language, too, has experienced change and continues to develop. The continuous change is what keeps languages alive.Slang is a way in which languages can transform and are renewed. Slang is the use of informal words and expressions that are not considered standard in a language. Some consider slang to be witty (言辞巧妙的) and clever, adding spice to the informal written and spoken language. Walt Whitman described slang as “the start of imagination and humor, breathing into its nostrils (鼻孔) the breath of life”. However, others criticize its use, believing that it weakens the language.The spoken English language of todays younger generation is filled with slang words and expressions. These lively words and phrases are an example of how language plants its own seeds of change that develop within social circumstances.Sometimes slang is the use of a word that is already in the standard dictionary, for example, lift (to pick up or raise) is given a new meaning, such as “to steal”; or hunk (a large piece of something) has now become “a handsome man”. Other times, slang is an invented word, such as chocoholic, which means “a person who loves chocolate”. Other invented words are mula, which means “money” and airhead, which means “a person who is stupid”.Now, youll understand your friends if they say something like, “I was such an airhead to think that I could get away with lifting a whole box of chocolates from the store just because I was all out of mula.”65. What was Whitmans attitude towards slang?A. He was doubtful about it. B. He thought highly of it.C. He showed no interest in it. D. He was against the use of it.66. The underlined word “spice” in the third paragraph probably means “_”.A. damage B. difficulty C. fun D. sugar67. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. “Hunk” is an invented word.B. Slang cannot be found in the dictionary.C. An “airhead” refers to a person out of money.D. People hold different opinions towards slang.68. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. An introduction to slang. B. The change of language.C. The use of slang. D. The origin of slang.BIts said that someone somewhere in the world is always eating sushi (寿司). Its the healthy snack of choice for people of all cultures.There are different recipes (食谱) for making sushi. This one is really easy and fun.
