Ⅰ.阅读理解
Living in a modern society has its advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage is that you often have to live closer to other people than you would like to. Sometimes, your neighbours make noise that you are not comfortable with.
The best way to solve this problem is to talk with your neighbour first. You should be very polite and ask your neighbour if he knows how thin the walls of your homes are. This way doesn't criticise (批评) his behaviour; it simply points out that he may not realise how far his sound travels. Tell him that you know that sometimes you make noise as well, but that you do your best to keep it down. Often this will solve the problem right away, but sometimes the neighbour may become angry.
If your neighbour becomes angry with you, there are some more steps you can take. You might write a letter to the neighbourhood committee. Make sure you write down the source of the noise and the time in the letter. They will review the situation and decide whether your neighbour is out of line. Some noise is considered to be reasonable,_even if it bothers you. So you may prepare a good pair of earplugs (耳塞)．
Even if your neighbour makes too much noise, you don't have to live your life in discomfort. It's always a good idea to be friendly with your neighbours. You may clean the rubbish in front of his door. He's sure to appreciate behaviour like this and be more open to your suggestions about the noise level.
1．What is the first step to deal with the noisy neighbour
A．To buy a good pair of earplugs.
B．To offer suggestions to the neighbour.
C．To ask the neighbourhood committee for help.
D．To tell the neighbour how bad his behaviour is.
2．The underlined word “reasonable” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”．
A．terrible B．loud
C．proper D．useful
3．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A．You should control your noise as well.
B．You can live comfortably even if there is noise.
C．Your neighbour may be more friendly than you think.
D．You should offer some suggestions to your neighbour.
4．The author wrote this passage to tell us ________.
A．why we should get on well with neighbours
B．how to relax ourselves in modern society
C．how to become known among neighbours
D．what we should do with our noisy neighbours

Does failure really exist
If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don't have the ability to succeed, then you don't. __1__ The moment you decide to give up or stop working towards your goals, failure is born.
__2__
Most people give up without even realising it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don't do that! __3__ Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.
Don't believe in a clear finish line for goals.
It's a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control. __4__ If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you'd like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.
Be sure that you don't see difficulties as failures.
Difficulties mean only one thing: It's not time for your goal to be completed yet. That's it! It doesn't mean you fail; it doesn't mean you are weak; it doesn't mean you'll never achieve your goals. __5__ You've got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.
A．Never give up on yourself.
B．Failure only exists in your own mind!
C．That's exactly how failure makes us feel.
D．It simply means you have not done enough yet.
E．You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.
F．Make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!
G．Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.
