joined the army in June 1983 In 1992 I was sent to the air force base In August 1996 I was one of the first 14 members from 1 500 pilots through the physical examination I worked hardly because I was among the first astronauts of our country in 1998 I was chosen one of the first man space aircraft astronauts later On Oct 15 2003 I successfully fly to space circled around the earth about 14 circle

already weary over the day holds I just can t get started People say But it s not physical energy that most of us lack Sure we could all use extra sleep and a better diet But in truth 5 people are healthier today than at any time in history I can almost guarantee that if you long for more energy the problem is not with your body What you re seeking is not physical energy It s emotional energy Yet sad to say life sometimes seems designed to exhaust our supply We work too hard We have family obligations 义务 We encounter 遭遇 emergencies and personal crises No wonder so many of us suffer from emotional fatigue 疲劳 a kind of utter exhaustion of the spirit And yet we all know people who are filled with joy despite the unpleasant circumstances of their lives Even as a child I observed people who were poor or disabled or ill but who nevertheless faced life with optimism and vigor 活力 Consider Laura Hillenbrand who despite an extremely weak body wrote the best seller SeabiscuitSeabiscuit Hillenbrand barely had enough physical energy to drag herself out of bed to write But she was fueled by having a story she wanted to share It was emotional energy that helped her succeed Unlike physical energy which is finite 有限的 and diminishes 减少 with age emotional energy is unlimited and has nothing to do with genes or upbringing So how do you get it You can t simply tell yourself to be positive You must take action Here are six practical strategies that work 1 1 DoDo somethingsomething new new Very little that s new occurs in our lives The impact of this sameness on our emotional energy is gradual but huge It s like a tire 轮胎 with a slow leak 漏 You don t notice it at first but eventually you ll get a flat It s up to you to plug the leak even though there are always a dozen reasons to stay stuck in your dull routines of life That s where Maura 36 a waitress found herself a year ago Fortunately Maura had a lifeline a group of women friends who meet regularly to discuss their lives Their lively discussions spurred Maura to make small but nevertheless life altering changes She joined a gym in the next town She changed her look with a short haircut and new black T shirts Eventually Maura gathered the courage to 6 quit her job and start her own business Here s a challenge If it s something you wouldn t ordinarily do do it Try a dish you ve never eaten Listen to music you d ordinarily tune out You ll discover these small things add to your emotional energy 2 2 ReclaimReclaim life slife s meaning meaning So many of my patients tell me that their lives used to have meaning but that somewhere along the line things went stale 厌倦的 The first step in solving this meaning shortage is to figure out what you really care about and then do something about it A case in point is Ivy 57 a pioneer in investment banking I mistakenly believed that all the money I made would mean something she says But I feel lost like a 22 year old wondering what to do with her life Ivy s solution She started a program that shows Wall Streeters how to donate time and money to poor children In the process Ivy filled her life with meaning 3 3 PutPut yourselfyourself inin thethe funfun zone zone Most of us grown ups are seriously fun deprived 缺乏的 High energy people have the same day to day work as the rest of us but they manage to find something enjoyable in every situation A real estate broker I know keeps herself amused on the job by mentally redecorating the houses she shows to clients 客户 I love imagining what even the most run down house could look like with a little tender loving care she says It s a challenge and the least desirable properties are usually the most fun We all define fun differently of course but I can guarantee this If you put just a bit of it into your day you energy will increase quickly 4 4 BidBid farewellfarewell 告别 告别 toto guiltguilt andand regret regret Everyone s past is filled with regrets that still cause pain But from an emotional energy point of view they are dead weights that keep us from moving forward While they can t merely be willed away I do recommend you remind yourself that whatever happened in the past nothing can change that Holding on to the memory only allows the damage to continue into the present 7 5 5 MakeMake upup youryour mind mind Say you ve been thinking about cutting your hair short Will it look stylish or too extreme You endlessly think it over Having the decision hanging over your head is a huge energy drain Every time you can t decide you burden yourself with alternatives Quit thinking that you have to make the right decision instead make a choice and don t look back 6 6 GiveGive toto get get Emotional energy has a kind of magical quality the more you give the more you get back This is the difference between emotional and physical energy with the latter You have to get it to be able to give it With the former however you get it by giving it Start by asking everyone you meet How are you as if you really want to know and then listen to the reply Be the one who hears Most of us also need to smile more often If you don t smile at the person you love first thing in the morning you re sucking energy out of your relationship Finally help another person and make the help real concrete Give a massage to someone you love or cook her dinner then expand the circle to work Try asking yourself what you d do if your goal were to be helpful rather than efficient After all if it s true that what goes around comes around why not make sure that what s circulating around you is the good stuff 16 Laura Hillenbrand is an example quoted to show how in life A physical energy can contribute to one s unsuccess B emotional energy can contribute to one s success C physical energy can contribute to one s success D emotional energy can contribute to one s unsuccess 17 The author believes emotional energy is A inherited and genetically determined B related to inherited and genes C not inherited and genetically determined D related to inherited and upbringing 18 Even small changes people make in their lives their emotional 8 energy A cannot help control B cannot help increase C can help control D can help increase 19 Ivy filled her life with meaning by launching a program to A help herself B teach herself C teach poor children D help poor children 20 The real estate broker the author knows enjoyed A redecorating the houses B mentally redecorating the houses C the same day to day work D defining fun differently 参考答案 BCDDB 结束 Although the Spring Festival is generally regarded as the most import celebration of the year the fall and winter have a number of non native holidays that are gaining popularity among the Chinese These include Halloween Christmas and Valentine s Day In the past these foreign holidays were observed only by those who worked for foreign companies or those who had studied or live abroad But today many Chinese celebrate the holidays in some manners such as sending text messages to friends and having a large dinner in a restaurant Valentine s Day is mainly for young couples while Halloween is most celebrated by children Christmas is becoming increasingly popular among the Chinese although originally it was heavily promoted by business During the holiday some shopping malls put up Christmas trees inducing 劝说 visitors to write down their Christmas wishes and hang the notes on the trees In just one or two days the trees will be filled with all kinds of Christmas messages For example I wish those who love me and whom I love happiness in the next year May God bless my parents health and happiness I hope my girlfriend will be 9 admitted by renowned universities Sociologists say the rising popularity of Christmas is due to the cheerful and bright colors associated with the holiday Red is the most popular holiday color in China representing harmony and indicating a happy event On Christmas people may find that Santa Claus and traditional red Chinese lanterns go well together 13 What can be inferred from the passage A Foreign holidays are as important as the Spring Festival in China now B People wanted to get profit from Christmas at first C Only people who come back from other countries celebrate foreign holidays D People hang their wishes on trees when foreign holidays come 14 What does the underlined word renowned in Paragraph 3 mean A Strictly ruledB FarawayC Newly builtD Well known 15 Christmas becomes popular in China because A people can do shopping during Christmas B people like the color of Christmas C people can send text messages to their friends D children can play happily on this day 16 What can we conclude according to the passage A Christmas is the only non native holiday that the Chinese like B All foreign holidays are celebrated in China nowK C More and more foreign holidays are popular in China now D Young couples in China like celebrating Halloween most 参考答案 BDBC 结束 1 201 北京卷 10 Students and Technology in the Classroom I love my blackberry it s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me I also love my laptop computer as it holds all of my writing and thoughts Despite this love of technology I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices 设备 and truly communicat with others On occasion I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom I have a rule no laptop iPads phones etc When students were told my rule in advance of the class some of them were not happy Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology There s a bit of truth to that Some students assume that I am anti technology There s no truth in that at all I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion I ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom I m not saying that I won t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class but until I hear a really good reason for the change I m 11 sticking to my plan A few hours of technology free dialogue is just too sweet to give up 63 Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with A the course material B others misuse of technology C discussion topics D the author s class regulations 64 The underlined word engage in para 4 probably means A explore B accept C change D reject 65 According to the author the use of technology in the classroom may A keep students from doing independent thinking B encourage students to have in depth conversations C help students to better understand complex themes D affect students concentration on course evaluation 66 It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author A is quite stubborn B will give up teaching history C will change his teaching plan soon D values technology free dialogues in his class 参考答案 DAAD 结束 这类试题有如下的共同特点 12 1 计划愿望和节假日活动的文章多以说明文为主 2 计划类考查的题目多是以细节为主 因此题目难度不大 3 从国家政策到百姓日常生活的未来科技的计划 4

away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways But holidays are expensive and for those on low wages or living on benefits they are often unobtainable Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet For working parents the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks there is a need to spread this across the year Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday For some this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support Schools also have an important role in sofeguaiding children s welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils Durin
