精选文库英语（二）练习8一、阅读选择 1、 Keep Your DreamDo you have a dream-something that youve always seen yourself doing? Perhaps you see yourself as an actor, business owner, or even a CEO. Whatever dream God has given you, dont let it die. A dream is a wonderful thing. It can give you hope for your future and encourage you to try when all odds are against you. But be-ware, there are dream killers that want to snuff the life out of your dream. Dont let them do it! People who cant or dont want to see your dream fulfilled can kill your dream. They may tell you that it is impossible for you, that you are not smart enough or that its never been done before. However, many times the biggest dream killer is you. Dont let fear, threat, doubt, lack of finances, etc. tell you that you cant fulfill your dreamTalk back to these killers. Tell them, I can and will fulfill my destiny, my dream.” You may have to do this every day, but thats ok. The more you instill within your heart that you can do it, your dream will be held safe within you. It is very important to take steps towards fulfilling your dream. For me, in order to fulfill my dream of one-day owning my own magazine, I needed to go back to school and finish my college degree. For you, it may be something different. You know deep inside what the voice of your dream calls for. Dont be afraid, just do it. Try not to let too much time go by. Time is another one of those dream killers. Meditate on the words of a song by Yolanda Adams, “Keep the dream alive, dont let it die, its something deep inside, keeps inspiring me to try, dont stop and never give up, dont ever give up on you. Sometimes, life can place a stumbling block in your way, but youve got to keep the faith. When you dream, dream BIG, and never give up. Theres no law that says you have to dream small. Your dream is just that, yours. Never let anyone tell you that your dream cant happen, it can! Nurture your dream. Keep seeing yourself do whats never been done before. As you continue to feed your dream and protect it, not only will you keep it alive, but it has no other choice but to come forth! 、Which of the following statement about dream is INCORRECT? （） A、Dream is what happens while were asleep.

Conversely, the idea behind a green transportation infrastructure is one that provides opportunities for people to get around their communities using their own power-such as walking or biking-or by other more environmentally sensitive means, like trains or buses. Sometimes, the best definition of a concept can be found by describing what it is not. All one has to do to get across the idea is to highlight the experience virtually all of us have shared at some point in our life (and for millions of Americans it can be literally an everyday experience): sitting in our motionless cars on a jam-packed highway as the vehicles spew emissions and pollution into the air. Even in cases when its difficult or impossible to remove the car from the picture entirely, there are ways to green our transportation infrastructure and improve our health and quality of life. Therefore, we have to find out some ways to improve whats already in place. A lot of city dwellers hold that they prefer to drive cars to work. Sure, there are plenty of reasons keeping them in the cars. Convenience is obviously one, but having to wait at a bus stop and then sit or stand on a crowded bus while cars go by is definitely another big trouble. But cities around the world are doing their best to employ the environmental benefits of bus ridership by making them more attractive to ride. One major way is by creating lanes dedicated to buses so that they can zoom past cars and trucks on roadways. Fun is just one of the many benefits to cities and towns that commit to making biking easy and safe. Cleaner, healthier, quieter and safer neighborhoods, are the results of making bikeways and lanes a. priority, says Zehner,who argues that even though American cities are more spread out than those in Europe, they are still great candidates for bikes. If Americans can embrace the concept it will make us more like the rest of the world; indeed, Zehner says the bike is the predominant mode of transport globally, with around 2 billion people using them. When it was originally built in 1889 ,the Poughkeepsie-Highland Railroad Bridge in Poughkeepsie,N.Y., was all about commerce and transportation, allowing people and goods to flow easily over the Hudson River. For years, the bridge sat unused after a fire nearly destroyed it in 1974 until a group called Walkway over the Hudson began its efforts to transform the bridge into a place for the public to enjoy. The group was finally successful in its efforts when the Walkway over the Hudson State Park opened in 2009-making it the longest pedestrian bridge in the world, which has since attracted more than 1 million visitors. Pedestrian bridges provide opportunities for alternative, environmentally friendly transportation modes such as hiking and walking. Giving people the opportunity and encouragement to get out and walk sometimes takes a little creativity, especially in hyper-urban are- as like New York City. In the citys old Meatpacking District, a group of committed citizens have transformed what was once a piece of what would now be called green irfrastructurean elevated railway line- and transformed it into a nearly 1.5-mile walkway and park on the west side of Manhattan called the High Line. What was a transportation route for meat and other agricultural goods heading into factories and warehouses from 1934 to 1980 is now a popular park with areas for public art and urban gardens. 16Paragraph_. 17Paragraph_. 18Paragraph_. 19 Paragraph_. 20Paragraph_. AA little creativity is required to encourage people to walk. BPeople can use more electric vehicles instead of cars.

For example, saying, “Hey, Im human” instead of Wow, Im such a loser when youve made a mistake, or not blaming others when things dont go as expected.Knowing what makes you happy and how to meet your goals can help you feel capable, strong, and in control of your life._28_ Tips for Improving Your Body Image Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. _29_The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it come in. If youre very worried about your weight or size, check with your doctor to verify that things are OK. But its no ones business but your own what your body is like. Ultimately, you have to be happy with yourself. _30_ Everyone (even the most perfect-seeming celeb) has things about themselves that they cant change and need to accept, like their height, for example, or their shoe size. AA positive attitude and a healthy lifestyle (such as exercising and eating right) are a great combination for building good self-esteem. BDeveloping these parts of yourself can help boost your self-esteem. CMeeting a challenge you set for yourself is a great way to boost self-esteem! DNext, identify which aspects of your appearance you can realistically change and which you cant. EIf you have a positive body image, you probably like and accept yourself the way you are. FBut actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself. 、26. 、26. 、28. 、29. 、30. 答案部分 Error!
