A
I left university wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th a good degree in English Literature，but no sense of what I wanted to do.Over the next six years，I_was_treading_water，just trying to earn an income.I tried journalism，but I didn’t think I was any good，then finance，which I hated.Finally，I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher.I loved working with books，although the job that I did was dull.
I had enough saving ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s to take a year off work，and I decided to try to satisfy a deep down wish to write a novel.Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.www.21-cn-jy.com
It takes confidence to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) make a new start—there’s a dark period in between where you’re neither one thing nor the other.You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do，and you’re too ashamed to say，“Well，I’m writing a novel，but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived.Believing my novel could not be published，I put it aside.
Then I met an a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gent(代理商) who said I should send my novel out to agents.So，I did and，to my surprise，got some wonderful feedback.I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and，after signing with an agent，I finished the second half of the novel.
The next problem ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was finding a publisher.After two and a half years of no income，just waiting and wondering，a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
It feels like ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate，really.When you set out to do something different，there’s no end in sight，so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同) of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding(有回报的)．【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
1．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean 21教育名师原创作品
A．I was waiting for good fortune.
B．I was trying to find an admirable job.
C．I was being aimless about a suitable job.
D．I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.21*cnjy*com
2．The author decided to write a novel ________.
A．to finish the writing course
B．to realize her/his own dream
C．to satisfy readers’ wish
D．to earn more money
3．How did the writer feel halfway with the novel
A．Disturbed. B．Ashamed.
C．Confident. D．Uncertain.
4．What does the author ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph

Blind imitation(模仿) i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s self destruction.To those who do not recognize their unique worth，imitation appears attractive；to those who know their strength，imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) skill or character development，imitation is helpful.When I first learned to cook，I used recipes(菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes.But soon I grew bored.Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own？Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle；they help you get going，but once you find your own balance，you fly faster and farther without relying on them.21cnjy.com
In daily life，i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mitation can hurt us if we subconsciously(下意识地) hold poor role models.If，as a child，you observed people whose lives were bad，you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did.If you do not make strong choices for yourself，you will get the results of the weak choices of others.21·世纪*教育网
In the field of entert ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ainment，our culture glorifies celebrities.Those stars look great on screen.But when they step off screen，their personal lives may be disastrous.If you are going to follow someone，focus on their talent，not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique.Think of the movies，books，teachers，and friends that have affected you most deeply.They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration，not desperation.The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them，but by those who do what has been done inside them.Creative people have an endless resource of ideas.The problem a creator faces is not running out of material；it is what to do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your ro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le models，accept the gifts they have given，and leave behind what does not serve you.Then you can say，“I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory，and know that they are cheering me on.”2-1-c-n-j-y
5．Imitation proves useful when you________.
A．know you are unique
B．lose the balance of life
C．begin to learn something new
D．get tired of routine practice
6．According to the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) author，the world moves on because of those who are________.
A．desperate to influence others with their knowledge2·1·c·n·j·y
B．ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C．eager to discover what their ancestors did
D．willing to accept others’ ideas
7．The trouble a creator faces is________.
A．the lack of strong motivation
B．the absence of practical ideas
C．how to search for more materials
D．how to use imagination creatively
8．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage 21世纪教育网版权所有
A．To highlight the importance of creativity.
B．To criticize the characters of role models.
C．To compare imitation with creation.
D．To explain the meaning of success.

In early autumn I appl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ied for admission to college.I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University，but my mother fought strongly against it.When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell，she tore it up.21教育网
“You can’t sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y it’s not a great university，just because Papa went there.”
“That’s not it at a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll.And it is a top university，” She was still holding the pieces in her hand.“But we can’t afford to send you to college.”
“I wouldn’t d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ream of asking you for money.Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa？Things aren’t that bad，are they？”【版权所有：21教育】
“No，” she said.“I don’t expect you to help support us.”
Father borrowed m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oney from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop.His chief customers were his old college friends.To get new customers，my mother had to help.She picked up a long forgotten membership in the local league of women，so that she could get to know more people.Whether those people would turn into customers was another question.I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns.What’s more，they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful；otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.
I was torn between th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e desire to help them and change their lives，and the determination not to repeat their mistakes.I had a strong belief in my power to get what I wanted.After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship (奖学金)．My father could hardly contain his pride in me，and my mother eventually gave in before my success.

Few of us make mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ney by losing sleep.But three graduate students at Brown University in Providence built a company around sleep deprivation(睡眠不足)．
Jason Donahue，Ben ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Rubin and Eric Shashoua were working late nights in Brown’s business and engineering schools—and began thinking about ways to sleep better.They discovered they weren’t alone in burning the midnight oil.Around 20% of Americans get less than six hours of rest a night.
The friends imagined a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) smart alarm clock that could track how much time we spend in the most restorative(促使康复的) stages of the sleep cycle: REM(快速眼动) and deep sleep.What would it cost to design such a thing Five years of research,20 employees，$14 million in funding and a whole lot of doubting from investors and scientists.
The company，Zeo，b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ased in Newton，Mass.，launched its product in June.The Zeo device uses a headband with tiny sensors(传感器) that scan your brain for signs of four sleep states: REM, light，deep and waking sleep.The smart alarm clock displays a graph of your sleep pattern and wakes you as you’re transitioning out of REM sleep (which is when you’re least sleepy)．In the morning you can upload the data to the company’s website，and so track your sleep over time.The cost，$399，includes six months’ access to one of Zeo’s online sleep coaches.Most of the feedback comes in the form of Zeo’s ZQ score showing how well you’ve slept.
“Zeo allows people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to unlock this black box of sleep，” says Dave Dickinson，a health care CEO.
Whether any of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) this actually improves sleep is up to the consumer，who will also need to make lifestyle changes like cutting out alcohol before bedtime or caffeine after 3 pm.
For now the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )company is selling Zeo online only.Dickinson also plans to expand to countries such as Australia，where sleep deprivation approaches U．S.levels.
40.Why did the three students imagine a smart alarm clock
A．To earn enough money for a scholarship.
B．To wake them up on time in the morning.
C．To record the length of their sleep time.
D．To improve the quality of their sleep.
41．Which is the correct order of how the Zeo device works
a．wake you when you’re least sleepy
b．scan your brain for sleep signs
c．get the Zeo’s ZQ score
d．show a graph of your sleep pattern
e．upload the data to the company’s website
A．d，b，a，e，c B．b，a，d，c，e
C．d，b，a，c，e D．b，d，a，e，c
42．The Zeo’s ZQ score is connected with ________.
A．the quality of sleep
B．the length of sleep
C．the time of waking up
D．the time of going to bed
43．From the passage we can learn that ________.
A．Zeo will have a direct effect on users’ lifestyles21世纪教育网版权所有
B．Zeo will have better results if users make proper changes
C．Zeo is reported to be well received in Australia
D．Zeo can now be bought either in stores or online

A survey sponsored b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y an international temporary service agency found that U．S.executives believe that people with a sense of humour do better at their jobs，compared with those who have little or no sense of humour.In fact，a whopping 96 percent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better.
The survey went on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humour may help light hearted employees keep their jobs during tough times.And，what’s more，it may propel them up the corporate ladder past their humorless colleagues.
Why It seems ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that those with a sense of humour are better communicators and better team players.
Studies have shown tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t happy workers are more productive.In fact，a researcher at California State University found that humour could help the employees to release tension.
Consequently，they can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) concentrate on their work more efficiently.What’s more，employees who enjoy interacting with their co workers aren’t as likely to be distracted，or absent from work.
Research conduct ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed by psychologist Dr. Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humour helps us think.When people feel stuck on important projects，they tend to feel angry or depressed.This negative mood can interfere with subsequent performance.According to Dr.Trice’s research，taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.
If humour is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )really this important，then why don’t we use it more often on the job
Most likely，the mai ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace.They tend to think humour and laughter are unproductive or unprofessional，perhaps both.However，it is important to realize that some humour is inappropriate for the workplace，and that it is often used at wrong times.
44．Most people think a sense of humour can________.
A．help you to do your work better
B．make you have a rich life
C．make you pleased with your work
D．help you to make more friends
45．Which one of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )following can describe a person with a sense of humour
A．Serious. B．Funny.
C．Changeable. D．Friendly.
46．Many people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) don’t use humour more often in the workplace because________.
A．they like keeping silent when working
B．they don’t know the positive effects of humour
C．they think they should obey the rules
D．they don’t like joking or laughing
47．Which is probably the best title for the passage
A．People with a Sense of Humour
B．Humour Is Important in the Workplace
C．Humour and Humorless
D．Everyone Likes Humour

Nineteen year old Chri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stopher Paolini has always loved adventure books.In fact，he plotted out his first book，Eragon，when he was just fifteen! Eragon is selling more copies than most of the Harry Potter books.A reporter from Who’s News talked to this young author about his books and how he ended up being one of the best selling authors of all time!
Reporter：________________________________________________________________________
Christopher Paolin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )i (CP): I love fantasy.I love the sense of awe and wonder that you always get at the end of a great book or movie.Eragon was an attempt to express that.When I was about twelve，I read a book called Jeremy Thatcher，Dragon Hatcher.It’s about a young boy who went into a mysterious shop and bought a dragon egg that ended up hatching.It stuck in my head.Eragon was an attempt to see what I could do with the idea myself.
Reporter: Where else do you get your ideas
CP: I’m defi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nitely influenced by authors who have a fairly inventive use of language，imaginative worlds and a sense of wonder—authors who write about things that other people don’t.
Reporter: What was the hardest thing about writing Eragon
CP: Probably ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the editing because I wasn’t used to it.It was a kind of shock doing it.But also I was having to learn a huge amount about grammar and commas and other things I’d never paid much attention to before.I’d say that editing and writing are pretty much equal in difficulty.My raw writing is a lot more professional now than it ever was before because of everything I learned through the editing process.
Reporter: How do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you avoid becoming frustrated with the writing process
CP: Write about what ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you enjoy the most or what touches you the most; otherwise you’ll never be able to survive a booklength project.
Reporter: Anything else you’d like to share with our readers
CP: Before I wrote ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Eragon，I spent an entire month plotting out the entire story so I wasn’t writing blindly.That helps.I really poured my heart and soul into it. It’s not just an adventure story: it is about Eragon trying to work out who we are，why we are here and how we can live honorably.
48．The reporter’s first question is most likely to be “________”．
A．What’s the most interesting thing about Eragon
B．What inspired you to write Eragon
C．How has your writing improved after Eragon
D．How long did it take you to write Eragon
49．What does t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he underlined word “that” refer to in the third paragraph
A．A story.
B．The sense of awe and wonder.
C．An idea.
D．A great book or movie.
50．What does Paolini find as difficult as writing 21·cn·jy·com
A．Plotting out the story.
B．Grammar and commas.
C．The editing process.
D．The creative use of language.
51．Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )following BEST indicates Paolini devoted himself completely to writing Eragon 2-1-c-n-j-y
A．“Write about what you enjoy the most or what touches you the most.”
B．“Eragon was an atte ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mpt to see what I could do with the idea myself.”
C．“I spent an entire month plotting out the entire story.”21cnjy.com
D．“I really poured my heart and soul into it.”

Witkey (威客) is a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) web based system where users can exchange and buy services and information，sharing knowledge and experience in order to save time and money.
Generally，requ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ests posted are of the type not easily answered on a general Internet search engine and can be of either a personal or professional nature.Students and professionals post requests for help with research and even answers to homework.More and more of these requests are being posted on one of the ever growing number of Witkey websites.There are 338 million Internet users in China and the number is increasing.The number of recorded Witkey users in China is 600,000 and is set to increase to 9 million.21*cnjy*com
The requests are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) usually answered for a small fee which is worked out in points through the company running the Witkey website.From RMB 50 for a quick know how answer to a small technological problem to around RMB 1,000 to help a company come up with a logo design，with even higher amounts being paid out for more services such as scientific research and analysis.

Have you heard the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )old saying that laughter is the best medicine？Then listen to this.Seriously，research has already shown that mental stress can limit blood flow to the heart.But now a study has linked laughter to increased blood flow.Laughter appears to cause the tissue inside blood vessels to expand.As a result，laughing may be important to reduce the risk of heart disease.【出处：21教育名师】
So says Doctor Micha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )el Miller of the University of Maryland Medical Center.He led a study of twenty healthy men and women.To make them laugh，they watched the comedy Kingpin.To create the opposite emotions，they watched the battle in war movie Saving Private Ryan.【版权所有：21教育】
The researcher ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s used ultrasound(超声波) technology to measure changes in blood flow through an artery(动脉) in the arm.21教育名师原创作品
Blood flow i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ncreased in nineteen of the twenty people after they watched Kingpin.The increase was an average of twenty two percent.Doctor Miller says that is similar to the effects of aerobic(有氧的) exercise.21*cnjy*com
Blood flow decreased ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in fourteen of the twenty people after they watched Saving Private Ryan.The decrease was an average of thirty five percent.
Studies have shown ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )that stress can reduce the body’s ability to fight disease.When the body is under stress，it produces hormones such as cortisol and adrenalin.Cortisol is related to fear；adrenalin prepares the body to react.But too much of these hormones can be harmful.
Doctor Miller noted ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that the study could not explain how laughter is responsible for the effects observed.Do the effects come from the movement of muscles，or from a chemical release
The researchers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )say laughter may cause the body to release pleasure chemicals，just as when a person exercises.Doctor Miller says these endorphins(脑内啡) may block the effect of stress hormones and cause the blood vessels to expand.Laughter may also influence the release of nitric oxide(一氧化氮)，which too expands blood passages.
The results w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ere presented at a meeting of the American College of Cardiology.Doctor Miller does not advise people to replace exercise with laughter.But，based on the results，he does suggest fifteen minutes of laughter each day.
1．From the last two paragraphs we know that ________.
A．laughter may not take the place of exercise
B．nitric oxide blocks the blood vessels from expanding
C．Doctor Miller works at the American College of Cardiology
D．we must laugh 15 minutes each day to keep healthy
2．What’s the best title for this passage
A．Laughter is the best medicine
B．Study shows laughter is good for the heart
C．How to reduce the risk of heart disease
D．Doctor Michael Miller’s important study
3．This passage is most probably taken from ________.
A．a science magazine
B．a college report
C．a newspaper
D．a broadcast
4．We can infer th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at the underlined word“hormones” in Paragraph 6 is ______.
A．an artificial substance
B．a kind of emotion
C．a chemical substance produced in the body

More than half of ri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ch Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children，a new survey showed last Tuesday.21世纪教育网版权所有
The survey，publis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hed by the Bank of America，studied the rich with $ 3 million or more in assets.It found that “surprisingly few of those surveyed have well developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their children”．21·世纪*教育网
The majority of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e 457 people surveyed are self made，first generation rich.52 percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are，and 15 percent have given away nothing about the family wealth.One in three parents said they had never thought to do it.
They are worried th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at their children would become lazy，spend money freely，make bad decisions and even become a target for gold diggers.2-1-c-n-j-y

The trend is led by t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he world’s richest man Bill Gates，who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife，the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation(基金会)，and not to his children.

Of his plans for his c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hildren，Gates said：“I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage.They will need to work but they will feel reasonably taken care of.”
1．We can learn from the passage that________.
A．rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritance
B．rich parents don’t equal rich kids，at least in the US
C．American children don’t get to inherit their parents’ wealth
D．poor childre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n don’t expect themselves to be as rich as their parents
2．According to the survey，most rich Americans________.
A．think they owe their children nothing

D．are confident of their children’s ability to handle wealth

Imagine divin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g deep into a watery world filled with jellyfish with 12 foot long tentacles(触须) and huge starfish，the size of plates.That’s what a team of New Zealand scientists recently did.21·cn·jy·com
The 26 scient ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ists spent five weeks studying sea life in the Ross Sea，off the coast of Antarctica.The survey produced more than 30,000 specimens，or samples，including more than a dozen fish and mollusk(软体动物) species that may be new to scientists.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
Using cameras and nets ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，the scientists explored all the way down to the 11,500 foot deep seafloor.In some areas，they found fields of sea lilies.“They were about three feet tall and bright yellow with large branching arms，so they looked a bit like underwater palm trees，”expedition scientist Sadie Mills told WR News.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Some of the underwate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r creatures the scientists found are bigger than similar creatures in other parts of the world.The giant Starfish，for example，are two feet wide.
“Creatures living in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Ross Sea can grow to large sizes because of the very cold water in the Antarctica，” Mills says.“Cold water has a higher concentration(含量) of oxygen than warmer oceans，which allows a slow but constant growth rate.” There are also fewer creatures that eat other animals.That may let the Antarctica creatures live longer，giving them more time to grow.
The scientists hope t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he findings will teach people more about Antarctica.“These results contribute to our understanding of how the whole ecosystem of this area is connected，from tiny bacteria right through to large whales，” says expedition scientist Niki Davey.

In 1969 I was a yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ung girl working in Toronto.I was from a small town in Ontario and had just moved to the big city about three months earlier.It was one week before Christmas and I was going home on the last streetcar of the evening.

I got off the stree ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tcar and started walking up the street，when I suddenly noticed a man was running after me.I stopped，turned around，seeing that he was black.I snapped，“What do you want？” The man answered in a soft voice，“I am returning your wallet.You left it on the streetcar seat.”
Because of that man’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) thoughtfulness，I was allowed the comfort of going home by bus for the summer holidays.Otherwise，I would have stayed alone in my small room with a hog plate.
I have never been so ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ashamed of myself，and that poor，kind man had to walk，who knows how far，home.21·世纪*教育网
