One afternoon I was walking along Fifth Avenue, when I remembered that it was necessary to buy a pair of socks. Why I wished to 36 only one pair was unimportant. I turned into the first sock shop that 37 my eye, and a boy clerk about 17 came forward. “What can I do for you, sir?” “I wish to buy a pair of socks.” His eyes began to shine. There was a note of passion (激情) in his 38 . “Did you know that you had come into the 39 place in the world to buy socks?” I hadn’t been aware 40 that, as my entrance had been accidental. “Come with me,” said the boy, 41 . And he began to pull down from the shelves box after box, displaying all the 42 inside for my appreciation.
“ 43 , lad, I am going to buy only one pair!” “I know that,” said he, “but I want you to see how beautiful these are. Aren’t they wonderful?” I became far more 44 in him than in the socks. I looked at him in 45 . “My friend,” said I , “if you can keep this up, if this is not 46 the enthusiasm (热情) that comes from having a new job, 47 you can keep it up day after day, in ten years you will own every sock in the United States.”
48 , in many shops the customer has to wait for someone to wait upon him. And when 49 some clerk does notice you, you are made to feel as if you were 50 him. 51 he is absorbed in deep thought in which he hates to be 52 or he is chatting with a girl clerk and you feel like 53 for throwing yourself into such intimacy(亲昵). He displays no interest either in you or in the 54 he is paid to sell.
I have come to the conclusion that the surest road to 55 is to do things with thinking and enthusiasm.

Most recently, it’s very common in students who need a parent present for job interviews.
Naturally, it’s easy to blame the students in these situations, but the bigger problem is us. We—as parents—are so eager to protect our kids that we fail to realize that this in itself is harming them. As the mother of two young sons, I have to remind myself all the time that the biggest responsibility I have as a parent is to help them develop the skills needed to live in, to live without me. So, I’ll let them fail.
I’ll let them fail because as long as they are safe and warm inside their comfort zones, they will never grow. And failure—along with loss, heartbreak, disappointment, etc.—will be part of growth for them. Call me the anti-tiger mom, but leaving them alone is my way of helping them become equipped to fit in this world as we know it today. From terrorism (恐怖主义) and seemingly endless natural disasters, to our national debt and beyond, if we expect the next generation to stand up to the very real problems of our time, we need to stop feeding them and start teaching them how to fish.
My children are faced with hard situations in their own life almost each day, but they try to negotiate (协商) everything now. It’s a small price to help them learn a skill they’ll use for the rest of their lives, including when I don’t come with them on job interviews.?
61. Why do parents go along with their kids on job interviews?
A. Because they want to protect their kids from difficulties.
B. Because they think they can protect them from being hurt.
C. Because their kids are too shy to attend interviews.
D. Because their kids strongly request them to do so.
62. According to the author, what is helpful to kids’ development?
A. Protecting them. B. Keeping them safe.
C. Leaving them alone. D. Blaming them.
63. The author believes experiencing failure in life can make kids ___________.
A. become healthier than other kids
B. grow in this challenging world
C. develop all social skills
D. escape from natural disasters
64. If the writer’s boy goes to a job interview, she probably will ___________.
A. go with him to protect her kid from difficulty
B. stay home but give him directions over telephone
C. wait outside and talk with other parents
D. let him go to the interview by himself
65. Which of the following might be the best title of the text?
A. Never help your kids B. Let your kids fail
C. Go to the interview with your kids D. Live without parents

第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
C
Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren’t sure, you are far from being alone in your confusion. In fact, years 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. 66
1. 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 like. 67 Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.
2. 68
Considering how busy most of us are, it’s not surprising that we often 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 grasping these opportunities (机会) 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 (监督) of your progress — if not by others, then by you yourself. 69 If you don’t know how well you are doing, you can’t adjust your behavior accordingly.
It is my hope that you have gained some insight (认识) into all the things you have been doing right all along. Remember: 70 It’s never what you are, but what you do.
Wait for opportunities to appear.
Seize the moment to act on your goals.
Here are things successful people do differently.
Next I’ll talk about my own experience on how to achieve success.
You don’t need to become a different person to be more successful.
Check your progress frequently — weekly, or even daily, depending on the goal.
Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there.

One possible version
There are many adolescents who smoke. They think they look cool or appear more grown-up while smoking.
In fact, smoking is a bad habit. If you smoke, it has bad effects on your health. It does harm to your heart and lungs, which might eventually lead to cancer. Cigarette smoke also affects the health of non-smokers. Besides, your breath and even clothes smell terrible. Further more, once you become addicted to smoking, it is really hard to quit.
So, for the benefit of yourself and others, do not get into the bad habit of smoking.

M: We spent our vacation in Japan last year. Shall we go to Canada this summer?
W: Honestly, I’d prefer to go somewhere like Greece instead.
Text 2
W: How much weight are you trying to lose?
M: I weigh 190 pounds now. If I can just get down to 160 pounds, I will be very happy.
Text 3
W: I’m preparing to go to an evening class in a university. You know learning French is difficult. I hope that will be helpful.
M: Well, for me, I’d like to watch some TV programs to learn a foreign language, such as BBC and so on.
Text 4
W: Hi, John. Ann invited me to her house for Joe’s birthday tonight.
M: Oh, you haven’t forgotten my dinner party, have you?
W: No, so I didn’t accept her invitation.
Text 5
M: We have a lot of housework to do. Do the dishes, sweep the floor, and…
W: Yeah, there are also a lot of dirty clothes. I want to finish this job first.
Text 6
M: Mum, can I stay up and watch more TV?
W: It’s already past eleven. You have school tomorrow. You will be sleepy all day tomorrow if you don’t sleep well tonight.
M: I know, but I promise I won’t be sleepy tomorrow. I work really hard.
W: Don’t you have exams coming up soon? I’m sure you could spend more time preparing for those.
M: Oh, I nearly forgot the exams.
W: You do well in Spanish, but your history is not good enough. Am I right?
M: Yeah, I guess so. Maybe I could go to sleep now and get up early to review my lessons tomorrow.
W: An excellent idea.
Text 7
W: As far as I am concerned, the bus is the only way to travel.
M: But in my opinion the best way to travel is on a bike. With a bike, you can go where you like when you like. You don’t have to wait at bus stops. It’s awful.
W: Well, but you can’t really go where you like, can you? I mean, you can’t go very long distances.
M: I take your point, but I cycle to work every day. Most of my friends have bikes, and we often go cycling on Saturday or Sunday.
W: That all sounds very nice, but what do you do in the winter?
M: I see what you mean. In the winter it’s often too wet to cycle, and sometimes the roads are too icy. When that happens, I take the bus. I don’t want to waste my money to take a taxi!
Text 8

W: Well, Bessie is ten and Paul five. Do you have any nieces or nephews?
M: No, my family is pretty small, just me, my mum, my dad and my grandpa.
W: Do you have an aunt or an uncle?
M: Oh, yeah, I forgot about my uncle. He lives in Florida.
W: Would you like to have a big family?
M: I guess so. Perhaps when I am married, I’ll have three or four children. How about you?
W: I won’t have that many. It’s hard work to look after a big family.

M: Why don’t you go there?
W: I am going there. It begins at 2:00 pm and there are twenty minutes left.
M: Why did Betty and Alice go there so early?
W: Early? I think they went there late, actually. They had no tickets, so they had to see if there were some tickets left.
M: Oh, I see. I’d better go there to meet them. Bye!
Text 10
One day Bob and his two friends rode into the mountains. They put up their tents and then rode off to a forest to see how the trees were growing. In the afternoon, when they were about ten kilometers from their tents, it started to snow. More and more snow fell. Soon Bob couldn’t see anything ten meters away. He could not find the road. Bob knew there were two roads –one road went to the tents and the other to his house. But all white now. Everything was the same. How could he take his friends back to the tents?
Bob had an idea. The horses! Let the horses take them back! But what would happen if the horses took the road to his house? That would be a trip of thirty–five kilometers in such cold weather!
It was getting late. They rode on and on, at last the horses stopped. Where were they? None of them could tell. Bob looked around. What was under the tree? It was one of their tents.
