12、 going to the state meet. She had won every discus event, 26 that district meet! And, her throws in the competitions had 27 been between 1061” and 11010”. Something began to 28 me.

13、hysical one. I decided to try something 31 . I made up my mind to 32 to Lucy. On Sunday, after her drills, I said, “Why dont you throw five or six good ones for me to 33 ?” She began to throw again, but 34 were farther than what she had already thrown. But, I didnt tell Lucy. As I was measuring the

14、35 one, I pulled out some more tape (量尺) and yelled out to her, “ Come to see this! This one is 36 ! ” It wasnt. Lucy, thinking that this was a personal best, jumped wildly into the air in 37 . The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy 38 with a personal best throw of 11410”! Just 24 hours afte

19、than to place responsibility upon him, and let him know that you trust him.” These words are from the black American educator, Booker Washington. He was saying that, “If you want people to grow up, you have to stop treating them like children.” In America, families are close but children are encoura

20、ged to be independent, to make their own decisions, even at a very early age. Its not unusual for a child of seven to be given an allowance (津貼) every week. The child is encouraged to save some of the money but he or she can spend it on whatever they choose, for example, buying clothes, school suppl

21、ies or CDs. Some teenagers even have their own credit cards! Thats a big responsibility since even adults are tempted to overspend when they have credit. From an early age, American children are asked for their opinions and they are included in family decision-making. At the dinner table, teenagers

22、will be listened to on any topic, from politics to buying a new family car or where the family will go on vacation. In this way, teenagers are getting practice in becoming individuals: they are learning how to stand on their own two feet.Many Chinese young people are becoming almost as interested as

23、 American teens in searching for independence. They want to express those qualities that make them unique human beings. You can see this in the way they dress, the music they listen to and the friends they choose. “Super Girl” Li Yuchun caught the imagination of Chinese teenagers on the “Super Girl”

24、 television contest. She was not the traditional “nice, young Chinese girl”. With her short, spiky hair and boy-like clothes, she was telling everyone that she was different. She had the courage to be her own person and to stand on her own two feet . and she won!There is an old saying, “Everyone sho

25、uld carefully observe which way his heart draws him and then choose that way with all his strength.” If you do this, step by step, over a period of time, you may find that you have become the person you always wanted to be. 41. The passage is intended to encourage the youth to _. A. save money for u

26、seful things B. become independentC. express their great ambitions D. make important decisions42. A child of seven is given allowance so that he can _.

28、uld understand our desires C. what we should plan for our own life D. how we can manage to realize our dream BWhen we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. Even if this

29、is possible, it is short-term, and tends to produce unexpected and unwanted result. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they have to, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the think

30、ing brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they connect you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unab

31、le to perform effectively. Fear does no good to leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they be

32、come fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation (動機). Todays work place is all about relationships.Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which theyre recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they

33、like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most important factor in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence knowing your own emotions, and how to handle the

34、m, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationship with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.45.

37、. are to be excellent employeesCHoorah！I have escaped the Czech (捷克) Republic! I am now wearing light clothing and sunglasses, although the latter are superfluous today, as it is cool and overcast with cloud and it has rained slightly. The city of Qatar (卡塔爾) is flat and sandy with few trees mostly

38、palms. You can see construction everywhere, new streets with hotels and apartment blocks in Venice theme. Its a mix of super modern and traditional building styles. Everything looks new including the vehicles. There are many huge roundabouts; no traffic rules or at least no one obeys any. The huge 4

39、-storey shopping mall in fantastic style has an ice rink (溜冰場) on the ground floor. Thousands of people walk round the waterfront after dark. Qataris are very religious and there are calls to prayers regularly. Qatari men are dressed in all sorts of traditional clothing plus western dresses. You can

40、 easily find imported labour from South Asian countries, poorly paid and discriminated against. I am told that Qataris dont hide their racist attitudes.Women are always wonderful sights. Some are in all sorts of black clothing with face uncovered; some totally enveloped; lots wearing western dresses

41、. Best sight so far: a woman in a mall completely wrapped in black including gloves, not even an eye shown wearing glasses on the outside of her veil (面紗), using a cell phone while fingering a dress. I am living with my employers a New Zealand couple, and another teacher named Wayne, all about my ag

42、e. We share one apartment. I have a large room with a bathroom attached: it is a little run-down but very comfortable. The only rather annoying thing is that I have to use the laptop on my bed as there is no desk and chair in here. As soon as it is clear that I will be staying I will make a change t

43、o all this. I havent lived with other people for many years and have been used to living alone so it will be interesting to see how this works. 49. The best title for this passage is _. A. The New Life with My Employers B. General Observation of QatarisC. My Adventure in the Czech Republic D. My Fir

44、st Impressions of Qatar50. The underlined part in paragraph one can be explained as _. A. it will be a fine day later B. light clothing is helpless with coldC. sunglasses appear fantastic D. sunglasses become unnecessary 51. In the authors eyes, Qatar is a _.

46、 relation with her boss DSadness is unpleasant, and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else, there is little tolerance for falling in despair. Especially now weve got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings whether its after losing a job, the break-up of a relationship or the de

47、ath of a loved one. So its no surprise that more and more people are taking them.But is this really such a good idea? A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isnt. They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast an

48、d loose (行為輕率). Sadness, they argue, serves a useful purposeand if we lose it, we lose out. Yet many psychiatrists (精神病醫(yī)生) insist not. Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression(抑郁), they warn. Even when people are sad for good reason, they should take drugs to make themselves feel better.

49、So who is right? Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch? There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life. It may be a self-protection strategy, as other primates (靈長類) also show signs of sadness. A losing monkey that doesnt sho

50、w sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey and that could result in death.In humans sadness has a further function: we may display sadness as a form of communication. By acting sad, we tell other community members that we need support.Then there is the

51、 idea that creativity is connected to dark moods. There are plenty of great artists, writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder. Scientists found that people with signs of depression performed better at a creative task, and negative moods make people think deeply over the un

52、happy experience, which allows creative processes to come to the front. There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career. A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s. The happiest people lo

53、se their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them.53. The underlined word “this ” refers to _. A. taking medicineB. falling in despairC. losing a job D. feeling sad54.

A. cheat their enemy B. protect themselves C. comfort the loser D. challenge the winner56. We can infer from the last paragraph that _. A. people with great creativity tend to be happier
