21、If you are a human, you can’t help but experience the time when everything seems to be going wrong and you feel as if your life is completely out of control.It is during the low time that words of encouragement from family, friends, coworkers or even strangers can boost your spirits.It is also during the low time that destructive words can be devastating(毁灭性的) and make you sink deeper and deeper into depression.
For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit(深坑).All of the other frogs gathered around the pit.When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.
The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit.The other frogs kept telling them to stop.Finally, one of the two frogs took notice of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up.He died.The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could.Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain.The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it.
When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at him to tell him to give up.The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf.He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.
Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Don’t let those opportunities get away from you.Your words have a large amount of power.Use them wisely.You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.
【1】Why did the frog that succeeded in jumping to safety neglect(忽视) the other frogs’ comments?

C.Destructive words will lead to death.

22、It was a cold morning at a metro station in Washington DC, a man started to play the violin. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the tin without stopping, and continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100.
This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment.
The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we enjoy beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected situation?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?”
【1】Few people stopped to listen to Joshua Bell playing because____________.
A. it was too cold in the subway
B. they were not interested in music
C. people were in a hurry
D. the performance was not good enough
【2】Which of the following is true about Joshua Bell’s performance?
A. Nobody gave him money
B. Nobody recognized him.
C. Nobody appreciated it
D. Nobody organized it
【3】Joshua Bell played in the metro station in order to ____________.
A. make more money on the street
B. practice his skills in playing music
C. made an advertisement for his concert
D. find out people’s reaction under such a circumstance
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?.
A. The Importance of Music B. A Talented Violinist
C. A Subway Violin Performance D. The Things We Miss
23、When I was nine years old, I never dreamed that the small vending machine (自动售货机) I had owned would turn me into a small business owner. Wanting to inspire his daughter’s business sense, my dad brought home a vending machine he had purchased from a friend. Setting it down in front of me in our living room, he asked in all seriousness, “Do you want to start a business?” I said yes.
I owned 15 vending machines by the time I left high school, with all of the profits going toward my college fund. In addition to being a great bonding experience for my family, I couldn’t tell you how many skills I learned from starting and developing my own business that helped me gain responsibility. I learned that not every experience in life led to the comforting encouragement: Well, you were tried. You should face bravely all kinds of difficulties.
Understanding both personal and professional finances is one of the most important life lessons to learn—the earlier, the better. I had to be fearless and confident—learning these skills at a young age saved me from speaking with difficulty through presentations later in life. Truly understanding what you’re selling displays confidence and reliability, as does truly believing in it. Comprehending the ins and outs of your product and business shines through when speaking with clients though rejection (拒绝) happens all the time.
Throughout the unbelievable experience of running my own business in my childhood, I’ve learned valuable skills that help me in my school, job and personal life. I believe in the value of customer service. I go after clients and chances and understand that sometimes things don’t go my way. With the help of my parents and customers who supported me, I grew up as a young entrepreneur with skills to keep for the rest of my life.
【1】Why did the author’s dad give her a vending machine?
A.To earn her college fund.
B.To raise her business awareness.
C.To complete her class project.
D.To enrich her after-class life.
【2】What does the author think of her experience of running vending machines?
A.It was tough but worthwhile.
B.It was scary but smooth.
C.It distanced her from her family.
D.It taught her how to refuse clients.
【3】What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the author?
A.Her attitude towards rejection.
B.Her understanding of financial problems.
C.Her insight into her business experience.
D.Her vision of the future vending machines.
【4】What can we infer from the text?
A.One can succeed without support.
B.One is never too old to run the business.
C.Customer needs matters most in business.
D.Abilities acquired will pay off in the future.
24、Different Cultures
The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish themselves from each other a lot. 【1】.
The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries:China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Indus River in India. 【2】
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture,another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian plain(美索不达米亚平原)一the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Rome and Ancient Greek.【3】 Like the Chinese culture,the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America,their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish itself from the European culture a lot.
【4】 Take the language system for example. In the East,most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race differences count as well. But what's more,due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West,the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference(干预)from the other.
The differences are everywhere. 【5】 But different cultures make the world in the 21st century more varied. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human beings. It ought to be the motivation for our going farther.
A. Let us work together to keep a variety of cultures.
B. One important thing is to learn about the other's culture.
C. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.
D. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
E. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
F. They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.
G. At the same time,some other differences add to the cultural differences.
