26、Some people succeed, while others do not. 【1】 The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, it is necessary that you should be optimistic. You must have faith in yourself and in your ability to succeed, otherwise you are not very likely to win, or even to try.
【2】. You need to work with every fibre of your being. When you really have a thirst for success, you put your performance under the microscope to make sure that every little thing you do works towards your goal.
【3】 . Most successful people are not as conventional as the people around them. Where others see failure, they see possibility. Where others see a lack, they see a surplus (盈余）. 【4】. They are more than just optimistic--- they see the world in a different way than others do, and do things in a different way.
To become successful, you may find it important to read about successful people, to see how they have achieved success. 【5】 . While everyone's road to success is different, many successful people have the same drive and the same qualities.
Practising is just as important if you want to succeed, because practice makes perfect. This will help you feel confident about what you do.
If you own the qualities above, success is yours for the taking!
A．Where others see a closed door, they see an open window.
B．You need to be able to look people in the eye and be honest.
C．Having proper motivation is not optional--- it is another key to success.
D．This is because some people own certain qualities that others do not have.
E．Their stories will encourage and inspire you as you climb the ladder of success.
F．Practice every day at whatever career you are in, and you will see yourself begin to grow.
G．Another quality that helps people succeed is the ability to do and think about things in new and different ways.
27、 One day, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家) in England, a young boy showed up in my office.
It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had introduced him to me before. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems which psychology doesn’t have answers to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and silently. And I would do in this way.
The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon — in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering. ” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
“It’s your turn,” he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I have also learned that one — without any words — can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.
【1】What was David like when the writer first met him?
A.He was very nervous. B.He was in deep sorrow.
C.He was mentally troubled. D.He was frightened by the writer.
【2】What do we know from the third paragraph?
A.The writer didn’t know what to do. B.The writer had a plan to help David.
C.The writer decided to keep silent. D.The writer couldn’t solve the problem.
【3】Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The writer cheated when playing chess. B.David never looked at the writer.
C.Chess healed David’s wounded heart. D.The writer gave his chess to David.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.A boy fixed his mental problem by playing chess. B.A psychologist should be good at listening.
C.A calm mind helps solve problems. D.A listening ear matters in helping others.
28、 More than half a century ago, there were 4, 000 drive-in movie theatres in the United States, and watching a movie from your car was a popular way to spend an evening. But with the number of drive-ins reduced to just a few hundred, outdoor movies have been popping up across the nation. Going to an open-air theatre has become a modern summer pastime for an increasing number of movie fans.
In recent years, outdoor movie screenings have come up in parks, vacant lots (空地) and shopping malls around the nation. On average, about 1, 000 people attend each movie night. It attracts a lot of young professionals, young workers and residents nearby. For some, the outdoor movies bring back the memories of the drive-in theatres of their youths. But for the majorities, they think it is comparable to the atmosphere (氛围) of drive-ins, as they can bring friends, food, good wine, and watch the movie together.
The returning of Americans’ love affair with outdoor movies makes Stephen Bastas ever busier. His seven-member crew sets up screens in various locations mostly in the Washington area every day throughout the summer. They are doing pretty well and they hope to continue the trend. And it looks like they are going to. That’s because many fans say there is nothing like watching a movie on a breezy summer evening under the stars.
【1】In the first paragraph, the author tries to tell us .
A.outdoor movies attract more movie-lovers
B.summer brings back more drive-in movie fans
C.drive-in movie theatres have already disappeared
D.watching a movie from your car is becoming more popular
【2】Most people choose to go to an outdoor movie mainly because they can .
A.have snacks before the movie B.cheer up with young friends
C.bring back good old days D.enjoy the happy atmosphere
【3】From the text, we can learn that Stephen Bastas is most probably .
A.a movie make B.an outdoor movie fan
C.a movie director D.an open-air theatre operator
29、 If you live in a town or city on the edge of a desert or coastline where sand dunes form, you might understand the threat they can have. It’s, sometimes, a piece of cake for them to cover roads, buildings, farms and other man-made developments with their unpredictable movements. Thus, figuring out how they move is important for preventing some natural disasters.
Now scientists have discovered that dunes have been secretly moving in ways we never knew before. There are different explanations on dune interaction, however, Karol Bacik, first author on the new dune study, and his colleagues have found a new one for dune movement. The researchers employed high-speed cameras to observe how dunes separated by distance can act as if they’re connected.
It turns out, currents flowing over sand dunes can carry “information” to other dunes downstream in the form of swirls(旋涡). For instance, as wind or water flows over the top of a dune, it slightly moves. This can generate “swirls” on the back of a downstream dune and push it in a direction opposite the movement of the front dune.
It’s the first time that researchers were able to provide causal explanations for some of these strange, previously unpredictable movements. The team also hopes to get out of the laboratory and into the real world, to see if their models can be applied to dune movements in complex natural systems. They plan to use satellite images over large deserts to track groups of dunes over long periods.
Perhaps they can start to alter the dune marching orders in the near future. Imagine being able to tell a dune field exactly how you want it to move. That’s the idea that this research might one day make possible.
【1】We can learn that the purpose of the study is to _________.
A.stop the sand dunes from moving around
B.figure out the track of sand dune movements
C.prove the interaction of dunes with each other
D.examine a model of sand dunes in the real world
【2】What does the underlined word “one” in Para. 2 refer to?
A.A study. B.An interaction. C.An explanation. D.A dune.
【3】Which of the following can we know from the passage?
A.A sand dune communicates with another only by currents.
B.Swirls on the back of a dune are the power to move itself.
C.Some strange dune movements have got causally explained before.
D.Researchers think it unnecessary to study further on the dune models.
30、The Grass Cutting Days
Every time we headed out to cut grass，Dad was there to watch. I used to______why he came with us. He stood watching us in the sticky Florida heat when he could have been inside______with air conditioning and an icy drink.
One day we were cutting our next-door neighbor's yard. She always waited until the grass was knee-high to call us over. To make matters worse，we had an old lawn mower that kept breaking down as we tried to cut through her backyard jungle. This particular afternoon，I was finishing up and was______and sweaty. I______the tall glass of cold juice I would drink in a minute to cool down.
I was just about to turn off the lawn mower______I saw Dad pointing to one single blade of grass（一片草）. I thought about the small amount of money I was getting______for cutting grass so high that it almost broke the mower. I ignored him and kept walking. Dad called me out and yelled，“You missed a blade.” I frowned（皱眉），hoping he would let me go home. He kept pointing. Though tired and______，I still went back to cut that blade of grass. I thought to myself，“That one blade isn't______anyone. Why won't he just let it go？”
But when I reached adulthood，I understood his______：When you're running a business，the work you do says a great deal about you. If you want to be seen as an honest businessman，you must deliver a quality product. That single blade of grass______the job was not done.
Other neighbors took______of the good work we did and we soon gained more______.
The lesson my dad taught me stayed with me：Be______. If you say you are going to perform a job at a certain time，______your word. Give your customers the kind of______you would like to receive. It shows how sincere you are and how much pride you take in your work.

31、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Hundreds of years ago, Charles Darwin predicted that facial expressions of emotion are 【1】. If you’ve ever seen an episode of the popular US TV drama Lie To Me, you will really understand facial expressions. The leading actor of the show, Dr. Cal Lightman has spent 20 years studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions, which allows him to point out other people’s studying nonverbal communication and facial expressions which allows him to point out other people’s 【2】 and on many occasions, to be skilled at tricking in order to get the truth.
Is there really much truth behind this science of 【3】 human emotions through expressions? Paul Ekman, a(n) 【4】 psychologist whose work focuses on mapping facial expressions, is Lie To Me’s scientific advisor and the following are some of his explanations.
Hand-to-face gesture indicates a lie.
Each micro-expression is unique to 【5】 specific emotions because the person is often unaware of doing it. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are lying when someone uses a hand to hide part of his face. The person could be holding back information but you may better consider looking at other more important clues rather than just the simple hand-to-face gesture.
A liar refuses eye contact.
People look away when they are thinking carefully and considering each word before it is spoken, not just when they are 【6】 an excuse. Oblique eyebrows are a very reliable 【7】of sadness and few people can make this 【8】 expression, so it is actually never faked.
Guilty knowledge technique is 【9】.
Lightman often uses the guilty knowledge technique, mentioning something that only the guilty person will know about and show a(n)【10】. This is often used in polygraph exams: “Was the person strangled, shot or stabbed to death?” Only the killer knows and is likely to respond physiologically when the actual weapon is mentioned.
