In a short time, however, a vast majority of people fail and are soon doing 41 it was they thought they shouldnt be doing.After considerable research, some researchers believe that behavior changes usually do not 42 if they start with the change itself. 43 , they believe that we must 44 a series of “stages” to adequately prepare ourselves for that 45 change. Once you have analyzed all the factors that 46 what you do, you must decide which behavior-change technique will work best for you.According to the psychologist Albert Ellis, most 47 problems and related behaviors arise from irrational (不理性的) statements that people make to 48 when events in their lives are different from what they would like them to be. For example, suppose alter doing 49 on an exam, you say to yourself, “I cant believe I failed that easy exam, Im so stupid.” By changing this irrational “catastrophic” self-talk into rational, 50 statements about what is really going on, you can increase the 51 that positive behaviors will occur.Positive self-talk might be 52 as follows: “I really didnt study enough for the exam. I just need to prepare for the next 53 .”Such self-talk will help you to recover quickly from 54 and take positive steps to correct the situation. Some other technique like purposefully 55 or stopping negative thoughts and refusing to dwell on(沉湎于) negative images can also spare you wasted energy, time and emotional resources and move on to positive changes.【小题1】A. declineB. remainC. disappearD. improve【小题2】 A. substituteB. cancelC. findD. ignore【小题3】 A. refuseB. determineC. hesitateD. advocate【小题4】A. moreB. betterC. worseD. less【小题5】A. valuesB. requirementsC. expectationsD. levels【小题6】A. whicheverB. howeverC. whereverD. whatever【小题7】A. succeedB. failC. existD. fade【小题8】A.

They were sure that even if they came from a low income family, their tuition fees and some of their living (or maintenance) costs would be covered by a local authority grant(拨款). A university education was, in a financial sense, open to all and the number of students attending university grew yearly.Sadly, it seems, those days are long gone. The turning point came in 1998, when the Labour Government introduced tuition fees of 1,000 a year and, instead of giving students a maintenance grant, asked them to cover their own living expenses with a repayable student loan. Only students on the lowest incomes were entitled to a grant.The flood gates had been opened. As time passed, the ceiling on tuition fees rose, and although applicants from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales still qualified for varying levels of subsidy(补贴), by 2020/10 students in England often found themselves facing tuition fees over3,000 a year.In 2020 the Government announced that, from 2020, universities could charge fees of up to 9,000 a year. Although the Government sweetened the pill by stating that postgraduates did not have to begin repaying their student loans until they were earning more than 21,000 a year, the news created over-dissatisfaction. Many students argued that it was unfair that students should have to begin their work life loaded with huge debt, while others complained that the changes would bring back a class divide to university education. These views were reflected in the number of students applying for a university place, which by January 2020 fell by more than 22,000. The Universities Minister, David Willetts, stood by the decision to increase tuition fees, saying that they would not “put universities finance on a bearable footing” and that they would accelerate “a stronger focus on high quality teaching.”【小题1】From the first paragraph, we can infer that _ in attending university.A. affordability plays more important roles than ambition and aspirationB. ambition and aspiration are more important than affordabilityC. affordability is as important as ambition and aspirationD. ambition and aspiration make a greater difference【小题2】We can put the sentence “But the biggest change was still to come” at the beginning of Paragraph _.A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5【小题3】The underlined part “sweetened the pill” in the last paragraph possibly means_.A. made a sweet pill B. made the change appear goodC. increased the pill D. reduced the pillB.My day began on a definitely sour note when I saw my six-year-old wrestling with a limb of my azalea（杜鹃花）bush. By the time I got outside, hed broken it. “Can I take this to school today?” he asked. With a wave of my hand, I sent him off. I turned my back so he wouldnt see thetears gathering in my eyes.The washing machine had leaked on my brand-new linoleum. If only my husband had just taken the time to fix it the night before when I asked him instead of playing checkers with Jonathan.It was days like this that made me want to quit. I just wanted to drive up to the mountains, hide in a cave, and never come out.Somehow I spent most of the day washing and drying clothes and thinking how love had disappeared from my life. As I finished hanging up the last of my husbands shirts, I looked at the clock. 2:30. I was late. Jonathans class let out at 2:15 and I hurriedly drove to the school.I was out of breath by the time I knocked on the teachers door and peered through the glass. She rustled through the door and took me aside. “I want to talk to you about Jonathan,” she said.I prepared myself for the worst. Nothing would have surprised me. “Did you know Jonathan brought flowers to school today?” she asked. I nodded, thinking about my favorite bush and trying to hide the hurt in my eyes. “Let me tell you about yesterday,” the teacher insisted. “See that little girl?” I watched the bright-eyed child laugh and point to a colorful picture taped to the wall. I nodded.“Well, yesterday she was almost hysterical. Her mother and father are going through a nasty divorce. She told me she didnt want to live, she wished she could die. I watched that little girl bury her face in her hands and say loud enough for the class to hear, Nobody loves me. I did all I could to comfort her, but it only seemed to make matters worse.” “I thought you wanted to talk to me about Jonathan,” I said.“I do,” she said, touching the sleeve of my blouse. “Today your son walked straight over to that child. I watched him hand her some pretty pink flowers and whisper, I love you.“I felt my heart swell with pride for what my son had done. I smiled at the teacher. “Thank you,” I said, reaching for Jonathans hand, “youve made my day.”Later that evening, I began pulling weeds from around my azalea bush. As my mind wandered back to the love Jonathan showed the little girl, a biblical verse came to me: “.these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” While my son had put love into practice, I had only felt anger.I heard the familiar squeak of my husbands brakes as he pulled into the drive. I snapped a small limb bristling with hot pink azaleas off the bush. I felt the seed of love that God planted in my family beginning to bloom once again in me. My husbands eyes widened in surprise as I handed him the flowers. “I love you,” I said.【小题1】 Why did the woman cry when seeing her son had broken the azalea bush?A. Because she could not tolerate the harm to it. B. Because it made her bad mood even worse.C. Because her son did not ask her for permission. D. Because she wanted to hand it to her husband.【小题】The writer wanted to hide in the mountain cave probably for the reason of .A. feeling fed up with her endless daily housework B. her husbands failing to fix the machine in timeC. boring daily routine with a feeling of lack of love D. her hoping to seek happiness in a brand new place【小题】We can infer from the passage that the writer expressed love to her husband in that .A. she was inspired by her son that love was supposed to be felt and practicedB. she felt guilty that she misunderstood her husband and wanted to apologizeC. she felt it necessary to have a complete family for the happiness of herself D. she wanted to prove her love and expected the same words from her husband CSpanish explorers called them Las Encantadas, the Enchanted Isles, and Charles Darwin used his studies of the islands as the foundation for his theory of natural selection. The Galapagos are among the worlds most important scientific treasures, a group of volcanic islands surrounded by deserted beaches and inhabited by unique varieties of giant tortoise, lizards, and birds.Yet life on this United Nations world heritage site has turned sour. Battles have broken out between fishermen and conservationists. Ecuador, which owns the islands, has sent a naval patrol (海军巡逻队) to put down disturbances.The controversial director of the Galapagos National Parkwhich controls 97 percent of Galapagos land and the reserve extending to 40 miles offshorehas been fired, while an air of uneasy tension hangs over the islands, as the islanders prepare for election when they pick their representatives in Ecuadors national assembly.“Its a very tense situation,” said Leonor Stjepic, director of the London-based Galapagos Conservation Trust, which raises money to help projects on the islands. “We are watching it with concern.”The violence has been triggered by an alarming growth in the islands population. Puerto Ayora, on Santa Cruz island, housed just 45 inhabitants in the 50s. Today there are more than 10,000, while the islands total population is more than 19,000 and growing by 6 percent a year, despite recently introduced a law to limit waves of immigrants fleeing the poor areas of Ecuador for a life “in paradise (天堂)”. On top of this, more than 100,000 tourists visit the islands every year.Such numbers have put the islands, special ecology under intense pressure. Conservationists backed by the Ecuador government, have replied by exercising strict controls to protect the islands* iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and giant tortoises.These moves have angered many local people, however. They want to exploit (开发利用) the islands waters and catch its protected species of sharks, lobsters and sea cucumbers, which can fetch high prices in Japan and South Korea.Angry fishermen surrounded the Charles Darwin research station on Santa Cruz last February, threatened to kill Lonesome Georgethe last surviving member of the Pinta Island species of the Galapagos giant tortoise.The situation got improved after the Ecuador government made concessions (让步) by increasing fishing quotas (配额), which angered conservationists. “It is tragic, the short-term gain of a few fishermen versus the long-term survival of the Galapagos,” said John McCosker of the California Academy of Sciences. “They are killing the golden goose.”Then, the Ecuador government appointed Fausto Cepeda as the national parks new director, a post that has become a political football for the mainland government. There have been nine directors in the past 18 months.This appointment was particularly controversial, however. Cepeda was known to have close ties with the fishing industry, and the rangers (管理员),who run the national park and reserve, rebelled.More than 300 staged a sit-in at the parks headquarters and prevented Cepeda from taking up his post. A battle broke out, and at least two people suffered serious injuries. Eventually, Cepedawith the fishermens help- entered the park. “I am in office, i am in control. And I am trying to lower the tension,” he announced.The Ecuador government to
