there lived a man who wanted to achieve everything he was capable of achieving He was obsessed with this desire he ate slept and walked with one and only dream to die having accomplished every single thing he was able to accomplish There were so many things he could do He felt like the whole world could be his 41 he set his mind to it He knew that his 42 had no limits He knew that he could accumulate 43 that would dwarf 使相形见绌 that of ancient kings he knew that he could 44 books that would shake the minds of generations he knew that he could 45 things that would forever change the lives of millions of people He lived constantly feeling the power within and that power knew no bounds There was only one problem having such a potential but only one 46 he had to make a choice He had to decide where to 47 all of his ability Making that decision was extremely hard for any 48 meant cutting off some future achievements In the meantime he went to school graduated found a job married and 49 children And he spent every minute of his spare time trying to decide 50 he should bring his potential into full play Time went by and he grew 51 Some roads he used to dream about became closed to

haired man stared back at him He looked 53 into these eyes and all of a sudden 54 one simple truth The next moment the pain came again and his heart stopped 55 forever The truth that came upon him was

mind as you were going through that negativity Was your mind cluttered with 充斥 different kinds of thoughts Or was it paralyzed unable to think The next time you find yourself in the middle of a very stressful time or you feel angry or frustrated stop Yes that s right stop Whatever you re doing stop and sit for one minute While you re sitting there completely immerse yourself in the negative emotion Allow that emotion to consume you Allow yourself one minute to truly feel that emotion Don t cheat yourself here Take the entire minute but only one minute to do nothing else but feel that emotion When the minute is over ask yourself Am I willing to keep holding on to this negative emotion as I go through the rest of the day Once you ve allowed yourself to be totally immersed in the emotion and really feel it you will be surprised to find that the emotion clears rather quickly If you feel you need to hold on to the emotion for a little longer that is OK Allow yourself another minute to feel the emotion When you feel you ve had enough of the emotion ask yourself if you re willing to carry that negativity with you for the rest of the day If not take a deep breath As you exhale release all that negativity with your breath This exercise seems simple almost too simple But it is very effective By allowing that negative emotion the space to be truly felt you are dealing with the emotion rather than stuffing it down and trying not to feel it You are actually taking away the power of the emotion by giving it the space and attention it needs When you immerse yourself in the emotion and realize that it is only emotion it loses its control You can clear your head and proceed with your task 61 Which one does not belong to the negative emotion A anxiety B confusion C depression D sorrow 62 What should you do when you are into negativity according to the article A Listen to some music B Ignore it and do something else C Just do nothing and truly feel that emotion D Think about it and try to deal with it immediately 63 The underlined word immerse Paragraph 2 most probably means A break down B get rid of C cut off D throw into 64 What s the best title of this text A Clear Your Mental Space B Deep Breath Trouble Away C Try to Avoid the Negative Emotion D Keep Holding on to This Negative Emotion as Long as Possible 65 The author s opinion towards negative emotion is A doubtful B optimistic C frightened D confused B What is the nature of the scientific attitude the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics biology chemistry geology engineering medicine or any other science We all know that science plays an important role in our societies However many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science The first aspect is the application of the machines products and systems of knowledge that scientists and technologists develop The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work What are these special methods of thinking and acting First of all it seems that a successful scientist is curious he wants to find out how and why the universe works He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected Moreover he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves He is a good observer accurate patient and objective and uses the facts he observes to the fullest For example trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum 光谱 He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available He rejects authority as the only basis for truth Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively Furthermore he does not readily accept his own idea since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation Lastly he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete Furthermore he needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts 66 Many people believe that science helps society to progress through A knowledge only B more than one aspect C technology only D the use of machines 67 Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE A He doesn t find confidence and pleasure in work B He is interested in problems that are explained C He makes efforts to investigate potential connections D He looks for new ways of acting 68 According to the passage a successful scientist would NOT A easily believe in unchecked statements B easily criticize others research work C always use his imagination in work D always use evidence from observation 69 Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses A complete B objective C complicated D accurate C The new studies show that fewer than half of the 9th graders in many of the nation s largest cities can ever graduate The studies clearly show that the dropout rate isn t dropping And in particular the dropout rate isn t dropping for poor and minority students Amazingly though so many regret the rising dropout rate our schools continue to lack formal plans or any plans to teach students motivation 动机 Most schools have no game plan to ensure that students understand that schooling will be completely necessary Schools expect youth and children to act as though schooling is important but they never teach them to believe that Years ago families ensured that the children recognized the value of schooling But in many modern families the children may fail to recognize the importance of school life just because these families may actually tell their children that school is not important Since many families are not motivating their children to be interested students youth professionals like teachers may need to provide this training Otherwise it is likely the dropout rate will continue not to drop but only worsen Here are some strategies to convince even the most apathetic 无动于衷的 students that they must stay in school Ask students if they will ever need to work The world has changed 100 years ago factory work was the booming job and it required no education Today factories are increasingly automated Most computer related jobs require education and at least a high school diploma Ask students which century they will be prepared for In 1900 the most common jobs were farm laborer and domestic servant education not needed Now the most common jobs are office and sales staff education and diploma usually needed An amazing 6 out of 10 people today work in a store or office Ask students to devise a way that the employee could be replaced For example the coming trend in fast food is to use computers rather than people to run the restaurant A prototype is apparently already being tested The students should discover that most jobs that lack education and diploma requirements may be ripe for automation 70 What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph1 A Few students can afford to go to school in large cities B A large number of the 9th graders can graduate now C There are still quite a few 9th graders leaving school early D Most schools in large cities have fewer and fewer students 71 Without the help of youth professionals A more and more families will gradually recognize the value of school B it is likely that the dropout rate in schools won t continue to drop C some parents will be more convinced of their children s future D the schools will make proper plans to solve the problems with dropout 72 The author takes factory work for example mainly to A tell us that many jobs requires certain education in the past B show that there are more factory work and employment in modern society C show that employment in the computer field grows at a high rate D emphasize that modern jobs require education and schools are necessary 73 It can be inferred that A both schools and families should answer for the high dropout rate B many new jobs don t need children s high school diploma C working in a store doesn t require a high school diploma D most schools are ready to help students recognize the importance of study 74 If students play the Replace Me game the result would be A They will know that they can always do without a diploma B More of them will drop out early to go to work C They will discover that lack of education is a disadvantage in choosing jobs D They will become better at using computers to hunt for a job D When I was fourteen I earned money in the summer by cutting lawns 草坪 and within a few weeks I had built up a body of customers I got to know people by the flowers they planted that I
