Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. I was born, I played a lot, and then I started school. I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There were happy days and sorrowful days：some days the sun shone, and some days it didnt. In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days, I didnt have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hairs. The summer of my life passed quickly. Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped working. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change color and give us delicious fruits. But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come. I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left, but I will enjoy them to the end.16 . The writer started walking more slowly in the_of his life.AspringBsummerCautumnDwinter17 .

I never read the book, but the title has always stuck with me. I think it was because the title turned me off. I hadnt been taught to be so selfish that I should be focused on only me . I thought I needed to be helping others and, along the way, I would also be helping myself. Now, I realize I should have at least considered learning more about looking out for number one.Over 30 years after seeing the book about looking out for number one Im realizing number one, me, is the person I should be concerned about first. Jeffrey Gitomer asks the question, “Who is the most important person in the world?” Most people answer, the customer. He then asks, if there were only two people left in the world, the customer and you, who would you want to survive ? Now the answer is me.It makes me sense that if we cant help ourselves first, we will never be prepared to help others. We all need to learn to control our lives and make the best decisions for ourselves. That will put us in a position to help others in the future . But many of us are slow to understand this.It has been said that happiness will bring success, but success doesnt always bring happiness. We all want to be happy and successful. For some of us can be very happy when our basic needs are met and our family are safe. Others will seek high levels of success thinking that will bring happiness. Im sure we can think of a person who is very successful, according to the worlds standards (标准), but they dont appear to be happy at all. This is because they have been so busy working for somebody elses goals that they havent considered their own needs.26 . Who does the writer think is the most important person in the world now?AOthersBHimselfCThe customerDJeffrey Gitomer27 . The underlined words“ turned me off” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “_”.Amade me excitedBmade me boredCmade me surprisedDmade me pleased28 . From the third paragraph we can learn _.Awe should help others instead of ourselvesBwe need help others make the best decisionsChelping others can help control our livesDactually few of us understand this idea earlier29 . Why do some successful people not feel happy at all?ABecause they dont believe success always brings happiness.BBecause their basic needs are not completely met.CBecause they seek for too high levels of success.DBecause they havent been working for their own goals.30 . The best title for the passage is “_”.AConsidering Our Own Needs FirstBThe Most Important in the WorldCHelping Others First DHappiness and SuccessMy sister Alli and I always try to stop people dropping cigarette butts(烟蒂) everywhere. We have done this for seven years. One day, we were walking in our hometown and saw hundreds of cigarette butts on the ground. They made the town look so dirty that we decided to start a group to make people stop dropping cigarette butts. We called it “No Butts About It”. At first, we drew pictures with letters “The earth is not your ashtray(烟灰缸)” on them. We put up the pictures in our hometownin parks, on walls, and along roads. We wanted to make people understand that dropping butts did harm to the earth. Most smokers dont think that dropping butts harms the earth. But it does！All rubbish does. Later, we wrote to factories and offices and asked them for money to buy ashtrays and gave them to smokers. We wanted smokers to carry the ashtrays with them so they didnt have to drop butts. Now we are trying to get cigarette companies to put an ashtray in each pack of cigarettes. Some companies would do it. Many people have started to join our group since it began. Today there are 45 other groups of “No Butts About It” in America. And there are also groups in England, Australia and India！Many newspapers have written about my sister and I over the last seven years. And we have won many prizes for our good work. But we are not interested in prizes. We just want to make the earth a better and cleaner place for animals, plants and people. One day it will be.31 .
