If I have a goal in life, it isn’t to be driving a Rolls-Royce. It’s to be giving away more than $1,000,000 a year and having an impact on people’s lives. I have the success today because I always had to work for what I wanted. I grew up accustomed to risks and disappointments, so I was used to moving forward, no matter what.

In 2008, I went to Los Angeles where I tried to get hired as an agent, an analyst and a financial broker. Unfortunately, all these doors slammed in my face. The world’s economy was in a bad state, so I knew I would have to do a little spinning of my own.

Youth involves a certain innocence but also perseverance. The word “can’t” wasn’t in my vocabulary. I partnered with a friend buying distressed multifamily properties around Houston. Even though we were enthusiastic and backed with start-up sums, I didn’t make a deal work. My friend moved on to other projects. Alone, I put all my money into the next real-estate project. I put the time in, I dreamed it, but once again the deal fell through. Two months later, though, the deal came back around. That was when the path opened, luck changed, and I was ready to form my own company. I haven’t looked back. Only ahead.

I’m now able to give back to communities and causes. I donate about $500,000 a year, much of that going to research to cure rare diseases. We also support a lot of services for disadvantaged children in Houston and other places.

I have always been someone who can see the big picture and have never been distracted by things that get in the way. There are lessons to be learned, and the biggest of those is to keep going. You may have to change the path, but always keep that vision in front of you.

24. Which of the following about the author is true?

A. He donated a lot of money to improve his company’s image.

B. He often encountered difficulties in the process of growing up.

C. He started his own company together with a friend.

D. He changed jobs several times while in Los Angeles.

25. By saying “do a little spinning of my own” in the second paragraph, the author probably means he would ______.

A. look for a part-time job independently   

B. make his contributions to the economy

C. give in to the disappointing reality    

D. be self-employed to develop his career

26. Which quality of the author is not shown in the passage?

A. Perseverance.    B. Optimism.   C. Innocence.   D. Kindness.

27. Which one is probably the best title of the passage?

A. Saying No to “Turning Back”    B. Tips for a Successful Business

C. Jumping over Economic Downturns   D. A Life-time Pursuit of Dream

C

What is a lifestyle and how is that different from a life? A lifestyle is about brand names and buying identity or fame. Lifestyle gives a false sense of peace and acceptability that comes from others recognizing what you’ve bought into (as well as bought). If your car, clothes, and home are expensive, you’re sophisticated (见过世面的) and stylish. If you have the right kind of job or go to the right social gatherings, then you receive the insincere approval of others. This means that your self-esteem is always at the mercy of others, with no appreciation of you as an individual.

A life, on the other hand, is very different. A life is what you lead when you know what matters most to you. It is very simple and comes from being connected to what you know is important and being willing to put that first, no matter what others may think. When you create a life vs. a lifestyle, your self-esteem comes from what’s inside you, not what others think about you.

Lifestyle is expensive financially and personally, because it costs a great deal to keep up appearances and do what you think is socially acceptable. A life is not expensive. Rather than using personal or financial resources, a life generates energy and staying power. It’s about liberating yourself from the mindless consumption that society expects. It is about making the choices that are in line with your values, instead of using up your bank account or energy for no heart-driven reason.

How can you make the change? Understand the difference between a life and a lifestyle. Analyze your current lifestyle to see what is costing you in money, time, stress, and energy to maintain it. Let go and make room for what is really important to you, what supports you and brings you joy. Remember who you are from within, not what you own!

28. Which of the following examples best explains “what is life about”?

A. We work long hours in a job that we do not enjoy.

B. We focus on what we wear, or what kind of car we drive.

C. We find out what our true beliefs and values are and choose to live by these.

D. We think that how others see us is more important than what we think of ourselves.

29. What method does the author use to explain his opinion in the third paragraph?

A. Making a comparison.     B. Giving an example.

C. Giving a definition.                D. Giving a reason.

30. To make the change, we need to _______.

A. be directed from within             B. be directed from outside

C. be driven by social values           D. be driven by others’ opinions

31. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To describe what life is. 

B. To introduce what lifestyle is.

C. To promote life instead of lifestyle.

D. To tell the differences between life and lifestyle.

D

If you thought pilots dimmed (调暗) the lights before take-off to give you some shut-eye, think again. Believe it or not, the dim lighting could actually help save your life in case of a plane emergency.

The dimmed lights before taking off the runway and landing are a flight precaution used to help passengers’ eyes adjust quicker during an emergency escape. “Going from a brightly lit environment to one that’s completely dark would require some time for our eyes to focus and see the escape slide,” Alice Theriault, service director for Air Canada wrote in a press statement. “Since we need to have all the seconds on our side in the event of an emergency, dimming the lights is one of many steps we take to ensure the safety of our customers.”
      The phenomenon that your eyes see those strange speckles (小斑点) as your sight adjusts to a dark place after being in a light place is called dark adaptation. It normally takes our eyes about 20 to 30 minutes to see best in a dark room. The brighter the lights, the longer it takes for our eyes to adjust, which is why dimming the plane lights could shorten your “dark adaptation” time since you haven’t been sitting under fluorescent bulbs (荧光灯) all flight.
      Dimming lights adds valuable time to the escape process. It reduces the tension on your eyes if you need to look outside, or see the emergency lighting along the passage. “It helps keep you in the right direction.” Patrick Smith, an airline pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential told The Telegraph. “It also makes it easier for flight attendants to assess any outside risks, such as fire or debris, which might affect an escape.” So next time a pilot dims the lights, just know it’s for your safety, even though it creates a gentle atmosphere for your take-off into the sky.

32. The lights are turned down before take-off to help passengers _______.
A. take a short break                      

B. escape in time of emergency              
C. create a warm atmosphere      
D. adapt their eyes to the bright environment 

33. What is one of the roles of shortening “dark adaptation” time?
 A. Slowing down the landing.                  B. Adjusting the plane lights.
  C. Keeping passengers calm.                  D. Helping the crew judge outside risks.
34. What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Dimming lights.                                   B. The escape process.                   
C. Reducing tension.                             D. The passage.

35. What is the text mainly about?
  A. A tip of air travel.                    
  B. An emergency event on a plane.
  C. A warning message on a plane.           
  D. An explanation of an airline safety measure.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

For numerous people, nothing is better than having an iced beer when you are back home in hot summer.   36   Why? Just for the sake of your own health and the happiness of your family. Now good news for you. From now on you needn’t feel guilty just because you love beer. On the contrary, the benefits of drinking beer are obvious. But there is still one IMPORTANT point I have to make clear.   37 

1. Beer reduces risk of heart disease.

You can easily reduce the risk of heart disease by 30% or more if you are one of the individuals who drink a pint of beer per day. The result is totally opposite if you drink too much beer. Be careful with your portions.

2.   38   

Beer prevents diabetes due to the alcohol content which increases insulin (胰岛素) sensitivity. Also, beer is rich in dissolvable fiber that is so needed if the individual suffers from diabetes.

3. Beer minimizes risk of cancer.

Xanthohumol (抗氧化剂黄腐酚) is found in beer, which is very important since it has anti-cancer properties. Drinking beer in moderation speeds up chemical reactions that keep off the risk of prostate cancer (前列腺癌) in males.   39   Strange? But it is true. That is because the drink contains components that decrease the risk of breast cancer.

4. Beer manages blood pressure.

According to the recent studies carried out by Harvard researchers, middle-aged women who drink beer in moderation were much less likely to develop high blood pressure. Other alcoholic drinks do not have the same properties.

5. Beer treats dandruff (头皮屑).

  40   The high content of vitamin B and yeast (酵母菌) will make your hair smooth and silky. Go and have a try. You’ll be surprised to find the annoying dandruff finally gone.

1. Beer lowers risk of diabetes.
2. Beer improves your oily skin.
3. Believe it or not, women should also drink beer.
4. At the same time, you may be a little nervous and guilty.
5. Remember it is how much beer you consume that matters to your health.
6. Some people prefer a beer to some pills when they get a cold in summer.
7. Beer is much healthier than all the shampoos and conditioners (护发素) that you see on the shelves in the supermarket or in advertisements.

Her eyesight had grown   41   so she couldn’t read the newspapers. Her memory was   42  . But her deep love for us, her four   43   and her grandkids, and of life, still   44   although not so brightly. I told Mom that her hands looked really   45   and asked if she’d like some skin cream.

You can’t really avoid processed food, and that’s not    56    (necessary) a bad thing. Processed food is food that    57    (change) in any way from its natural state. That includes washing, canning, freezing, or adding ingredients.

Salt is often used    58    (keep) food fresh. Even if you’re careful about adding it    59    your food, it’s probably already there, thanks to processing. It is advised to read labels when you buy goods.

   60    (find) in processed foods like baked goods, salty snacks, and margarine, trans fat can affect your cholesterol (胆固醇) and lead to inflammation that’s linked to heart disease, stroke, and other conditions. Recent government    61    (ruling) have made trans fat increasingly difficult to find. However, it must be known that even if    62    product’s label says it has 0 grams of trans fat, it can have up to 0.5 grams of it.

   63    (prepare) your own food lets you decide the ingredients and the amounts of them    64    go into it. If you don’t have the time or the skills, frozen meals aren’t that bad. While these are still processed, some food companies are using    65    (few) unhealthy ingredients.

One day, little Philip spent the morning with his young playmate, Johnny Crane, who lived in a fine house. When Philip returned home, he told Mother Johnny had money in both pockets and he said he could get ever so much more if he wanted it. Mother nodded calmly.

“Why, he has a big popgun, and a watch, and a hobbyhorse, and lots of things.” Philip looked up with an unhappy stare…and the tears sprang to his eyes, “I guess we are very poor, aren’t we?”

“No, indeed, Philip, we are far from being poor. We are just not so rich as Mr. Crane’s family, if that is what you mean.”

“No!” insisted the little fellow, sobbing, “I do think we are very poor! I have scarcely anything –– I mean anything that’s worth money, except things to eat and wear, and I’d have to have them anyway.”

“Have to have them?” Mother echoed, wondering how to reason with him on that point, “Grow up, my son. We have enough to live...”

Just then Uncle Ben looked up from the paper he had been reading: “Philip,” said he, I’m doing experiments about eyes; so, if you will let me have yours, I will give you a dollar apiece for them. I will give you chloroform (三氯甲烷), so it will not hurt you in the least, and you shall have a beautiful glass pair for nothing, to wear in their place. Come, a dollar apiece, cash down! What do you say?”

“Give you my eyes, uncle?” cried Philip, looking wild at the very thought and shaking his head, “No!”

“Well, five, ten.” “Twenty dollars, then.”

Philip shook his head at every offer. “No! I wouldn’t let you have them for a thousand dollars! What could I do without my eyes? I couldn’t see mother, nor the baby, nor the flowers, nor the horses, nor anything,” added Philip, growing angry.

“How about two thousand?” urged Uncle Ben, taking a roll of bank notes out of his pocket.

Para 1:

Philip, however, shouted that he never would do any such thing. ____________________

____________________________________________________________________________

Para 2:

  To all of these offers for his body parts Philip shook his head, refusing to exchange any.
