25、 We often realize we should change and unlock our self-improvement power, but we don’t take action. The only time we think of changing and unlocking our self improvement power is when everything gets worst. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽视)it.
When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get difficult.
Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so, but because we realize it’s good for us.
Happy people don’t just accept change, they embrace(拥抱)it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are.
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be around groups of people. She hears her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but also lives it!
Self-improvement may not be easy, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process (过程) instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three times in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to change and become happy.
【1】The writer asks the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that _______.
A.we decide to change when we experience pain
B.we often meet many problems in our daily life
C.life is hard when we get into the wrong way

A.She needs to remember when she acted like this.
B.She has to know how to make friends with people.
C.She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.
D.She needs to understand the importance of confidence.
【3】The writer probably agrees that _______.
A.the world tells us how to improve ourselves
B.people change when they find it easy to do that
C.welcoming change in life is a power to become better
D.enjoying the process of self improvement makes life harder
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Is it important to take action?
B.Is it necessary to take on challenges?

27、 Stonchenge is a famous place in England, one of the oldest and most mysterious(神秘的)places in the world. It was probably put up between 1800 B. C. and 1400 B. C. It lies in the city of Salisbury, which is about 13 km south of Stonchenge.
Stonehenge was a ring of standing stones, including upright(垂直的)stones with a horizontal(水平的)stone lying across the top. When it was completed, it was made up of a double circle of stones with two more groups of stones outside the circles. Over time, however, many of the stones have been broken by wind and rain, only a small number is still standing today.
It is unclear who built Stonchenge or even how it was built. Many of the stones must have been transported over 250 miles to Stonchenge. Single stones, some of them weighing about four tons, must have been sent on rivers and rolled over land on tree trunks(树干). They can’t have been carried! The men who moved the stones didn’t have wheels or horses. Each stone had to be moved by hand.
The purpose of Stonchenge is just as mysteries. It has been called a place to honor ancestors, a sun temple, an ancient clock and a calendar. Some people think the stones have been built in a special way to mark sunrise and sunset at certain times during the year, because the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Others have even thought that it was an ancient generator, which is a machine to produce electricity, because it was built along energy lines in the earth and was used to make use of the earth’s natural energies.
