Following the rules, planning your next move and acting as a team member are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作) . Many childrens games have a practical side Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination（协调）needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition.

He controlled many countries in Asia and Europe because of his bravery and leadership in battle. This time period was known as the Yuan Dynasty in the 13th and 14th centuries.Genghis decided to go hunting one day and many of his warriors went with him. Genghis had his favorite hawk on his wrist. The hawk was trained to fly high in the air to look for game like deer, rabbits or wild birds. When his bird flew to the ground, Genghis would follow it and shoot the wild game with his arrows. It was his favorite hobby.This particular day, game was hard to find. Toward evening, Genghis sent all the men home and decided to go another way by himself. He even let his hawk go, thinking it would fly home as well. He became thirsty so he stopped by some rocks where he noticed water was dripping. He took a cup from his pack and filled it slowly. When he put it to his mouth, he was surprised for his hawk came and spilled (使溅出) all the water in his cup.He thought this was very unusual so he filled the cup again. The hawk rushed down and knocked the cup free from his hand. Genghis was now thirsty and angry. As he filled the cup a fourth time, he drew his sword to stop the bird interrupting him. As the bird flew down, Genghis killed it but his cup fell deep into the rocks in the scuffle (扭打).He decided to crawl up the rock of the mountain to find the source of the water. He found a pool and noticed a huge poisonous snake was dead in the water. He realized the hawk had saved his life. His anger had caused him to kill his favorite bird. In his despair (绝望), he promised to make sure of everything before he would become angry again.65.

What conclusion can we draw from the passage?A. One should never act while thinking. B. One had better not act before thinking.C. One must act when thinking. D. One would act without thinking.CWhen something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，“Well, its so-and-sos fault.” or “I know Im late，but its not my fault；the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.69. According to the passage, winners . W_w w.k*s*5 u.co mA. deal with problems rather than blame othersB. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives C. have responsible and able colleaguesD. blame themselves rather that others70. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. ask a more able colleague for helpB. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problemD. find a better way to handle the problem71. When problems occur, winners take them as W_w w.k*s*5 u.co mA. excuses for their failuresB. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleaguesD. chances for self-development72. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. A Winners Problem.B. A Winners Secret.C. A Winners Opportunity.D. A Winners Achievement. DAustralians have been warned they face a life or death decision over their water drink recycled sewage (污水) or die.With the drought (干旱) continuing, the country is set to be forced to use purified (净化的) waste water for drinking, even though there is great opposition to the measure.Queensland has become the first state to introduce the policy after a warning from its premier. “I think in the end, because of the drought, all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water,” said Peter Beattie. “These are difficult decisions, but you either drink water or you die. Theres no choice. Its liquid gold; its a matter of life and death.”Beattie said Australias second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking.Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel.But Australians have never liked the idea.To try to change the way Australians think, Prime Minister John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have adhered to Queenslands move.“I am very strongly for recycling and Mr. Beattie is right and I agree with him completely,” Howard said.“Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water.” added Turnbull, “All of our big cities have to widen the range of water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall.”73. What is the text mainly about?A. Australians face the choice of life and death.B. Premier Beattie is worried about his peoples health.C. We should avoid drinking recycled water to keep healthy.D. Continuing drought forces Australians to drink recycled sewage. 74. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Australians have never like drinking purified waste water. B. Australians should develop more water sources to live through the hard time.C. Australians cant depend upon rainwater, which is not suitable for drinking.D. Australian government has no ability to solve the problem of water shortage.75. The underlined phrase “adhered to” in Paragraph 9 probably means _.A. disliked B. gone against C. supported D. doubted 76. It can be inferred from what Premier Peter Beattie said that _.A. he gives orders to drink purified waste waterB. It is painful for him to see people drink recycled sewageC. If the decision is made, people wont survive the droughtD. Its totally up to you to either make a life or death decisionEWhos in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, its other peoplesociety, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿), their passions a quotation.”So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一剂毒品), we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval. But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom the freedom to be ourselves. The
