第I卷（选择题）请修改第I卷的文字说明评卷人得分一、补全短文1. _1_.If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then its likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. _2_I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are :kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose._3_.These could be companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. _4_.If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be -this is the key to personal power.When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. _5_. AYoung people have a different set of values.BYou feel that you have a responsibility to help them.CYour having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy.DYour being values are the character traits （特征，特点）of the ideal person you would like to be.E. You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.F. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding.G. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world , and in turn the way other people think of you. 2. Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you arent sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. The intuitive answer that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others is really just one small piece of the puzzle. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. 11. Get specific. When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. Lose 5 pounds is a better goal than lose some weight, because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like.2 Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.2. 3Given how busy most of us are, and how many goals we are juggling at once, its not surprising that we routinely miss opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really have no time to work out today? No chance at any point to return that phone call? Achieving your goal means grabbing hold of these opportunities before they slip through your fingers.3. Know exactly how far you have left to go. Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring of your progress if not by others, then by you yourself. If you dont know how well you are doing, you cant adjust your behavior or your strategies accordingly.4It is my hope that, after reading about the nine things successful people do differently, you have gained some insight into all the things you have been doing right all along. Remember:5. Its never what you are, but what you do.Wait for opportunities to appearSeize the moment to act on your goalsHere are things successful people do differentlyNext Ill talk about my own experience on how to achieve successYou dont need to become a different person to become a more successful oneCheck your progress frequently-weekly, or even daily, depending on the goalKnowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there第II卷（非选择题）请修改第II卷的文字说明评卷人得分二、单项选择3. -Who should be responsible for the accident? -The boss,not the workers.They just carried out the order_.A.as toldB.as are toldC.as tellingD.as they told4.

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. 2 ,when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six 3 in analyzing a problem. 4 the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sams bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must 5 that there is a problem with his bicycle.Next the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 6 the parts that are wrong.Now the person must look for 7 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 8 solutions. For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 9 ,he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 10 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.After 11 the problem, the person should have 12 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 13 ,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.In the end, one 14 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 15 idea comes quite 16 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 17 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 18 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 19 the brake.Finally the solution is 20 .Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.1.A.seriousB.usualC.similarD.common2.A.BesidesB.InsteadC.OtherwiseD.However3.A.waysB.conditionsC.stagesD.orders4.A.FirstB.UsuallyC.In generalD.Most importantly5.A.explainB.proveC.showD.see6.A.checkB.determineC.correctD.recover7.A.answersB.skillsC.explanationD.information8.A.possibleB.exactC.realD.special9.A.In other wordsB.Once in a whileC.First of allD.At this time10.A.look forB.talk toC.agree withD.depend on11.A.discussingB.settling downC.comparing withD.studying12.A.extraB.enoughC.severalD.countless13.A.secondlyB.againC.alsoD.alone 14.A.suggestionB.conclusionC.decisionD.discovery15.A.nextB.clearC.finalD.new16.A.unexpectedlyB.lateC.clearlyD.often17.A.simpleB.differentC.quickD.sudden18.A.fortunatelyB.easilyC.clearlyD.immediately19.A.cleanB.separateC.loosenD.remove20.A.recordedB.completedC.testedD.accepted21.

It is a 10 which has come slowly to me and has been wrought (锤炼) in the fires of pain and in the waters of patience. I am learning that I must 11 the one I love, for if I hold firmly and try to control , I shall lose what I try to control 12 .As I learn and practice more and more, I can say to the one I love, “I love you, I value you, I respect you and I trust that you have the 13 to become all that it is possible for you to become if I dont 14 your way. I love you so much that I can set you free to walk beside me in 15 and in sadness. I will 16 your tears but I will not ask you not to cry. I will care and 17 you, but I will not hold you up when you can walk alone. I will try to listen to your meaning 18 your word, but I shall not always agree.

One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime (一角银币) left. He was hungry so he decided to 1 for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. 2 a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked 3 so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I 4 you?” “You dont owe me anything,” she replied, “Mother has taught me never to accept 5 for a kindness.” He said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger 6 , but it also increased his faith in God and the human race. He was about to give up and 7 before this point. Years later the young woman became critically ill. The 8 doctors were baffled (阻挡). They finally sent her to the big city, where specialists can be called in to study her 9 disease. Dr. Howard Kelly, now 10 was called in for the consultation (会诊). When he heard the name of the town she came from, a(an) 11 light filled his eyes. 12 , he rose and went down through the hospital hal
