anything but 38 them Just take them 39 Listen to what they re saying Care about it Most times caring about it is even more important than 40 it One of my patients told me that when she 41 to tell her

We connect through listening When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand we move the 45 of attention to ourselves But when we listen they know we care I have ever learned to 46 to someone crying by just listening In the old days I used to reach for the tissues 纸巾 47 I realized that passing a person a tissue may be just another way to shut them 48 to take them

Finland are mostly high class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer You can go anywhere in one tell the driver to drop you at any place say that you have some business to attend to and then walk off without paying your fare The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests but also serve outside diners Hotel guests have their meals free so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter With such a loose check you can easily use any old registration 登记 card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge 5 The Finnish workers are paid by the hour They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly With so many loopholes 漏洞 in everyday life surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take petty advantages But the strange thing is all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do living in such a society has turned everyone into a real gentleman 56 The underlined words in this passage means to A be ready to help others B make good use of one s friends C be a little ahead of others D gain something at other s expense 57 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage A While taking a taxi in Finland you can get off without first paying your fare B In a big hotel in Finland you can enjoy free meals if you re living in the hotel C The bosses in Finland pay the employees according to registration of their working hours D The workers are always honest with their working hours 58 We can learn from the passage that A the Finnish society is of very high moral 道德 level B there are many loopholes in everyday life in Finland C in Finland most taxi drivers will not charge you anything D everyone in Finland is like a gentleman for they have faith in themselves 59 Which of the following is the best title of the passage A Life in Finland B A Society with Foolish People 6 C What a Life D Honest accounts of the Finns B Sometimes you ll hear people say that you can t love others until you love yourself Sometimes you ll hear people say that you can t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself Either way you ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky Sure we all know that we re the apple of our parents eyes and that our Grandmas think we re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics But sometimes it s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge It is time you build a positive self image and learn to love yourself Self image is your own mind s picture of yourself This image includes the way you look the way you act the way you talk and the way you think Interestingly our self images are often quite different from the images others hold about US Unfortunately most of these images are more negative than they should be Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self image and your whole world The best way to defeat a passive self image is to step back and decide to stress your successes That is make a list if you need to but write down all of the great things you do every day Don t allow doubts to occur in it It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self image because you can t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself Well roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task If you think you re silly because you aren t good at math find a tutor If you think you re weak because you can t run a mile get to the track and practice If you think you re dull because you don t wear the latest trends buy a few new clothes But remember just because you think it doesn t mean it s true The best way to get rid of a negative serf image is to realize that your image is far from objective and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve 7 will go a long way towards promoting a positive self image When you can pat 拍 yourself on the back you ll know you re well on your way Good luck 60 You need to build a positive self image when you A dare to challenge yourself B feel it hard to change yourself C are unconfident about yourself D have a high opinion of yourself 61 How should you change your serf image according to the passage A To keep a different image of others B To make your life successful C To understand your own world D To change the way you think 62 What is the passage mainly about A How to prepare for your success B How to face challenges in your life C How to build a positive self image D How to develop your good qualities 63 Who are the intended readers of the passage A Parents B Adolescents C Educators D People in general C A year ago at the annual pre Grammy party Whitney Houston the great star walked on stage and closed the evening with a brilliant performance Last Saturday Houston was once again the focus before the Grammy but her presence was a regrettable one Earlier that day the pop music s former queen was found dead in her hotel room She was 48 This no doubt is sad news to the whole music industry and her fans all over the world At her peak Houston was the golden girl of the music world From the mid 1980s to the late 1990s she was one of the world s best selling artists She impressed audiences with her effortless powerful and peerless performance Besides multi million record sales Houston made countless hits such as The 8 Greatest Love of All I Ha oe Nothing and the mostly famous I Will Always Love You She also influenced a generation of younger singers from Christina Aguilera to Mariah Carey But by the end of her career there was a shocking fall for this superstar Houston had been addicted to drugs Her album sales declined and the hits stopped coming and her once beautiful voice became hoarse 嘶哑的 unable to hit the high notes as she used to In 2009 Houston staged a successful comeback with the album I Look To You which fell on top of the charts But hoarse voice canceled concerts and continuous illness Houston s comeback trail wasn t smooth at all In an interview with Oprah Winfreyin2009 Houston admitted It show business is too much for me and I wanted out Now that Houston has finally taken a break from all the chaos may she rest in peace 64 Whitney Houston died A shortly before the Grammy this year B earlier last Sunday C a year ago D at the annual pre Grammy party 65 The underlined word peerless in Paragraph 3 most probably means A having great power B having no equal C requiring no effort D leaving no impression 66 The cause of the fall of Whitney Houston was that A her album sales declined B show business was too much for her C her once beautiful voice became hoarse D she had been addicted to drugs 67 Whitney Houston s achievements include the following except that A She made countless hits such as I Have Nothing B She influenced a generation of younger singers C She became the focus before the Grammy this year D She staged a successful comeback in 2009 9 D Becoming more popular in North America is Iceberg Water which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland Canada Arthur von Wiesenberger is one of the few water critics in North America As a boy he spent time in the larger cities of Italy France and Switzerland where bottled water is consumed daily Even then he kept a record of the brands he liked best My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water He says But is plain tap water all that bad Not at all In fact New York s drinking water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity Similarly a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive However soft drink companies view bottled water as the next battle ground for market share as bottlers and restaurateurs are longing for the profits from it A restaurant s typical mark up 加价 on wine is 100 to 150 percent while on bottled water it s often 300 to 500 percent As a result some restaurants are trying to sell more bottled water Some of the more shameless tactics 手段 include putting attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell listing brands on the menu without prices and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners whether they want it Regardless of how it s sold the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health our wish to appear educated and even a longing for lost purity 68 By saying My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water Arthur von Wiesenberger suggests that A bottled water is superior to tap water B plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinking C bottled water often appeals more to dogs taste 10 D dogs can usually distinguish a fine difference in taste 69 According to the passage why is bottled water so popular A It is much cheaper than wine B It is more widely promoted in the market C It appeals to well educated people D It is considered healthier 70 Why are some restaurants willing to sell bottled water A Bottled water brings in huge profits B Competition from the wine industry is fierce C Most diners find bottled water affordable D Bottled water satisfied diners desire to be fashionable E The world is filled with smart talented educated and gifted people We meet them every day A few days ago my car was not running well I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine I was amazed The sad truth is great talent is not enough I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than 100 000 a year A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase They are one skill away from great wealth There is an old saying that goes Job means just over broke 破产 And unfortunately I would say that the saying applies to millions of people Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence most workers live within their means They work and they pay the bills Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn more than what they will earn When I ask the classes I teach How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald s almost all the students raise their hands I then 11 ask So if most of you can cook a better hamburger how come McDonald s makes more money than you The answer is obvious McDonald s is excellent at business systems The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on bui1ding a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems The world is filled with talented poor people They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger 7l The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that A he is just one of the talented people B he is ready to help others C he has a sharp sense of hearing D he knows little about car repairing 72 The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by A spend more than they can afford B do in their own way C live in their own circle D live within what they earn 73 Why do talented people earn so little according to the author A They don t work hard enough B They lack financial intelligence C They don t make full use of their talents D They have no specialized skills 74 The success of McDonald s lies in its A skills at making hamburgers B good business systems C talented workers D excellent service 75 The main purpose of the author is to tell us A how young people can find a satisfactory job B what schools should teach students C why so many talented people are poor D how McDonald s makes much money 五 书面表达 在学习生活和工作中 与人合作是非常重要的 请你根据下表中所提供的信息 写一篇题 为 Cooperate with others 的英文演讲稿 12 为何与人合作 1 在忙碌的 现代化的社会中 要想有效地完成一项工作 我们必须学 会与人合作 2 可以节省时间和精力 3 从合作者身上学到很多
