A poor attitude gets more people fired than any other single factor, and a good attitude gets people jobs and helps them keep those jobs more than any other factorYour attitude affects many people, from your family to the stranger on the street corner. Your attitude is particularly important when you face seemingly hopeless situations. Losing a job or friend because of a poor attitude is unfortunateespecially because a bad attitude can be fixed.You call find at least two ways to look at everything. A pessimist looks for difficulty in the opportunity, while an optimist looks for opportunity in the difficulty. A poet once put the diffrence between optimism and pessimism this way : two men looks out from prison barsone saw mud, the other saw stars.Unfortunately, many people look only at the problem and not at the opportunity that lies within the problem, Many employees complain about the difficulty of their jobs, for example, not realixing that if the job were simple, the employer would hire someone with less ability at a lower wage. A small coin can hideeven the sun if you hold the coin close enough to your eye. So when you get too close to your problems, to think objectively about them, try to keep in mind how your vision can be obstructed, take a step back, and look at the situation from a new angle.You cant do anything to change the fact that a problem exists, but you can do a great deal to find the opportunity within that problem. Youre guaranteed a better tomorrow by doing your best today and developing a plan of action for the tomorrows that lie ahead. Just remember to maintain a positive mental attitude.43.

Whats the healthiest breakfast, and why? -Antonia, Tornto, CanadaDear Antonia, Theres an old saying: “Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a poor man.” In most countries, dinner is the biggest meal of the day. So why does this saying tell us to eat a large breakfast instead? The answer is in the word”breakfast” itself. It means the “breakfast” of a aaafasta, or a long period without eating. The time between dinner and breakfast can be more than twelve hours, so the meal that breaks your fast is very important. It should be healthy and nutritious. Also, unlike your evening meal, the food you consume for breakfast gives you the energy you need during the most active part of your day. Researchers have found evidence that eating a big breakfast can improve your concentration and mood, and boost your energy level. Experts agree that its important to eat a good breakfast, and to have your main meal earlier in the day. However, not enough people are taking their advice. In the U.S., for example, many people skip breakfast or have only a cup of coffee in the morning. About two-thirds of the population still have their main meal in the evening. Many popular dinner foods, such as steak and French fries, are heavy in fat, which makes people feel sleepy. Other countries follow healthier patterns of eating. In Mexico, families generally have a light breakfast, and eat their largest meat at 2 p.m. It might include an appetizer, soup, pasta, fish, meat with a salad, dessert,and finally tea or coffee. In Switzerland, the main meal is also eaten in the middle of the day, and usually contains a lot of fresh vegetables and truits; the Swiss generally eat meat only two or three times a week. The best breakfast is one that contains plenty of protein and carbohydrates to give you the energy for your daily activyies. Two examples of such a breakfast are eggs and whole wheat toast, or cereal with milk. Of course, there are many different kinds of healthy breakfast. In Japan, people like to have rice, soup, and an egg in the morning; a typical Arab breakfast is bread, cheese, and olives. There are many wholesome foods you can choose-the important thing is to start your day with breakfast, and get the nutrition you need.47. Which he of the following countries is not mentioned by Dr.Lee? A. Canada B. Mexico C. Switzerland D. Japan48. According to the article, which statement of the following is NOT true?_ A. The old saying shows the importance of having a healthy breakfast. B. Dr.Lee believes that breakfast should be healthy and nutritious. C. About two-thirds of Americans have their main meal in the evening. D. The main meal in Switzerland usually contains a lot of vegetables, fruits and meat.49. From this passage, we can come to a conclusion that_. A. Antonia wants to know what the healthiest dinner is. B. Dr.Lee knows much about the importance of breakfast. C. Many Americans have a good eating habit of eating breakfast. D. A typical Arab breakfast does not help you keep healthy.50. Look at the four breakfast below. Which one is not healthy, according to the article? A. Eggs, whole wheat toast, or cereal milk. B. Rice, soup, and an egg. C. An appetizer, soup, and pasta. D. Bread, cheese, and olives. 阅读短文，还原句子（共8分，每小题2分） Mr. White works in an office. Hes able and can easily deal with all kinds of matters. _51 .

Those who offer service are called volunteers. Those who are forced to do so by government or school or the court are not called as volunteers, as they are not doing it out of their own will. Community service which has come up in the USA is part of charity and social. Community service and volunteering is being encouraged not just in the USA but quite a few other countries as well. Helping communities or other has always been appreciated and encouraged. Here is trying to find out the importance of community service.NO.1 Each country wants its children to be disciplined and wanting to work for a change. Community service is the best way to put this sense of responsibility in children. Law breakers who are young are asked to take part in community service like cleaning roads and stuff like that. So they have a good chance to turn over a new leaf by doing such projects.NO.2 Another good point of community service is that children and teenagers can be introduced to good values, like honesty, humbleness, gratefulness, respect, being sincere and the others. These, unfortunately cannot be taught in the classroom. Different community service ideas for kids give them a good feeling of having done something for others. The children learn to think beyondI, me, myself and get a wider view of life.NO.3 Importance of community service lies in the fact that it has now become a way to get the nation together. This is mostly driven by religious and political people and organizations. T
