to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to mecarl waller was my piano teacherduring one of my lessons he asked how much practice i was doingi said three or four hours a daydo you often practice so long at a time? asked my teacheri try to, i answeredwell, don t, he said “when you grow up, time won t come in long periodspractice in minutes whenever you can find them, five or ten before school, after lunch, or between household tasksspread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your lifewhen i was teaching at columbia, i wanted to write, but class periods, theme-reading and committee meetings filled my days and eveningsfor two years i got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that i had no timethen i remembered what carl walter had saidduring the next week i conducted an experimentwhenever i had five minutes to spare, i would sit down and write a hundred words or soto my astonishment, at the end of the week i had a rather large manuscript （手稿） ready for revision, later on i wrote novels by the same meansthough my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, every day there were free moments which could be caught and put to usei even took up piano-playing again, finding that the small intervals of the day provided enough time for both writing and piano practicethere is an important trick in this time-using formula; you must get into your work quicklyif you have only five minutes for writing, you cant afford to waste four minutes chewing your pencilyou must make your mental preparations ahead of time, and focus on your task almost immediately when the time comesfortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realizei admit i have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutesbut life can be counted on to supply interruptions （中斷時(shí)間）carl walter has had a great influence on my lifeto him, i owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours i need, if i begin without delay25which of the following can be the best title of this passage?aconcentrate on your work ba little at a timechow i became a writer dmy teacher s advice26which of the following statements is true?athe writer owes great thanks to his teacher for teaching him to work in long periodsbcarl walter has had a great influence on the writer s life since he became a studentcthe writer didnt take the teacher s words to heart at firstdrapid concentration is actually more difficult than most people imagine27the underlined part counted on in the last paragraph can be replaced by _aenriched bconcentrated c.valued dexpected28we can infer from the passage that the author _ahas new books published each year however busy his teaching isbis always tired of interruptions in life because his teaching schedule is always heavychas got into the bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novelsdis devoted to work immediately because he can find enough time for preparations cit was mollys job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to workone morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, molly

small little girl, the baby of the family, with an older brother and sister. my father was very ill at the time, and my mother took in sewing of any kind so we could live. she would sew far into the night with nothing but dim gas mantles and an old treadle sewing machine. she never complained even when the fire would be low and the food very scarce. she would sew until the early hours of morning.things were very bad that particular winter. then a letter came from where her sewing machine was purchased, stating that they would have to pick up her machine the next day unless payments were brought up to date. i remember when she read the letter i became frightened; i could picture us starving to death and all sorts of things that could come to a childs mind. my mother did not appear to be worried, however, and seemed to be quite calm about the matter. i, on the other hand, cried myself to sleep, wondering what would become of our family. mother said god would not fail her, that he never had. i couldnt see how god was going to help us keep this old sewing machine. the day the men were to come for our only means of support, there was a knock at the kitchen door. i was frightened as a child would be, for i was sure it was those dreaded men. instead, a nicely dressed man stood at our door with a darling baby in his arms.he asked my mother if she was mrs. hill. when she said she was, he said, im in trouble this morning and you have been recommended by the druggist and grocer down the street as an honest and wonderful woman. my wife was rushed to the hospital this morning, and since we have no relatives here, and i must open my dentist office, i have nowhere to leave my baby. could you possibly take care of her for a few days? he continued, i will pay you in advance. with this he took out ten dollars and gave it to my mother.mother said, yes, yes, i will be glad to do so, and took the baby from his arms. when the man left, mother turned to me with tears streaming down a face that looked as though a light was shining on it. she said, i knew god would never let them take away my machine.33. the turning point in the story may refer to _. a. a letter to the familyb. the time when mother comforted mec. the mans coming for helpd. the nicely dressed mans trouble34. according to the text all the following are true to the man except _. a. his wife stayed in hospitalb. he was confused when in troublec. he had few men to turn to for helpd. he was a dentist35. what does mother mean by saying “i knew god would never let them take away my machine.?”a. god can do everything b. the sewing machine is my only supportc. everybody should believe in godd. never give up when in trouble第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng).why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? if you arent sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. it turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. the intuitive answer that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others is really just one small piece of the puzzle. in fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. 361. get specific. when you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. lose 5 pounds is a better goal than lose some weight, because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like37 also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.2. 38given how busy most of us are, and how many goals we are juggling at once, its not surprising that we routinely miss opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. did you really have no time to work out today? no chance at any point to return that phone call? achieving your goal means grabbing hold of these opportunities before they slip through your fingers.3. know exactly how far you have left to go. achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring of your progress if not by others, then by you yourself. if you dont know how well you are doing, you cant adjust your behavior or your strategies accordingly.39it is my hope that, after reading about the nine things successful people do differently, you have gained some insight into all the things you have been doing right all along. remember40 its never what you are, but what you do.a. wait for opportunities to appearb. seize the moment to act on your goalsc. here are things successful people do differentlyd. next ill talk about my own experience on how to achieve successe. you dont need to become a different person to become a more successful onef. check your progress frequently-weekly, or even daily, depending on the goalg. knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there第三部分
