tape on page7.Why did Shackleton have to attempt
the journey to South Georgia?
There were two reasons: he felt his men were too weak to last very long without rescue; no ships passed that way. So Shackleton knew he would have to go for help himself.
2. Do you think there was any alternative? Listen to the tape for the first time.1 To make sure that the group left behind had the best chance of survivalThe choice of his party: He took the best navigator and the most difficult crew members so that he left the optimistic and most co-operative people behind.2 How to arrive safely on South GeorgiaThe quality of the navigation: Despite terrible seas the navigator checked the ship’s position only three times but managed to arrive safely.3 He arrived on the wrong side of South GeorgiaThe perseverance of the party: They crossed the mountains sometimes sliding on their bottoms and arrived safely. THE RESCUE
As soon as they arrived on Elephant Island, Shackleton decided to go to the island of South Georgia for help. He realized that his men were too ill to last very long without rescue. But this was not an easy task. Listening textThe seas were very rough and the boat he planned to use was very small. Shackleton, however, felt he could not wait. No ships passed Elephant Island, so he knew that if he wanted to rescue his men he would have to do it himself. Of course everybody wanted to go with Shackleton but he chose his companions with care. First, and most importantly, he needed a navigator to sail through the dangerous sea to South Georgia. Second, he needed to leave a group behind him that would be cheerful enough to survive till he returned. So he took the two most difficult and unfriendly members with him.
The journey in the boat was a nightmare. The movement of the boat was so strong that it was almost impossible to check their position. The navigator was only able to use his instruments three times during the trip to South Georgia. Despite the sea being so rough, he was so good that they reached land safely. If they had missed South Georgia Island, they would have sailed on into the open sea and there would have been no rescue.
Unfortunately Shackleton landed on the wrong side of South Georgia and had to climb over the mountains to get help. That was a terrible journey too. At one point they had to slide down a mountain on their bottoms(屁股)! When they arrived at the whaling station, Shackleton immediately arranged for a boat to return to Elephant Island. But the seas were even fiercer so they could not get near it. It took another three months of trying before they reached the twenty-two men left behind, Shackleton grew very anxious and looked extremely old and worried during this time. He was only happy when he arrived back on Elephant Island and found everyone still alive. As for the men, they began crying with relief when they saw him walking through the water to rescue them.ll.

mind and explain his new theory? After twenty years Charles Darwin changed his mind and explained his new theory because another biologist also had the same idea. The two of them worked together.2 What was the public reaction to his book
The Origin of Species? The public reaction to the new theory was very fierce. (Everybody was forced to take sides in the debate between the biologists and the Christian Church. Even the Prime Minister of the day, Benjamin Disraeli, was asked his opinion. He said "Is man an ape or an angel? Now I am on the side of the angels.")4 How did he handle the criticism? He particularly upset all the followers of the Christian church who believed that the Bible came directly from God and therefore every word must be true. He handled the criticism with tact and patience.3 Who did he upset? Why did he upset
them?The year is 1860. Fred Jones (F J) is interviewing Charles Darwin (CD) for a newspaper.WHERE DID HUMANS COME FROM?Listening textFJ: Hello, Mr Darwin, I'm your
interviewer, Fred Jones. Today I'm
very glad you've come from
London to talk to me. Now, Mr
Darwin, I hear you have a new
theory. What is it?CD: My theory of evolution states that
all animals originally came from
other earlier species. It took
millions of years. In the old idea,
the Bible assumed that God made
all creatures and plants in six days.
FJ: I see. What about human beings?CD: Well. I think people come from
monkeys.
FJ: That must've upset Christians, I
suppose.
CD: Indeed, it upset all the Christians
who believe that God made animals
including people in six days. FJ: Why did you change your mind in
1858 and publish your idea nearly
twenty years after you thought of
it? I knew there would be a lot of
trouble with the Christian church.
So I spent twenty years collecting
evidence that my theory was correct.CD: Well, in that year an unknown
biologist wrote to me with the same
idea. So I knew that I couldn't keep
quiet any longer. But I wanted to be
fair. So the two of us explained our
ideas together in an important
meeting in London. The next year I published On
The Origin of Species where I
explained all my ideas fully and
included all my evidence.F J: Did many people think you were
wrong?
CD: Yes. It was as bad as I had feared.
Church leaders thought I was
wrong and told everyone to ignore
my ideas. They said I was a bad
Christian. Political leaders took
sides. Many of them called me bad
names and thought my ideas wereF J: What did you do?
CD: I tried to behave well. For
example: one day a girl asked me
if I believed our ancestors were
monkeys. I said I did. Then she
asked where she came from. shocking. My family suffered a lot. It made my wife very upset. I looked at her She was very
beautiful. "I'd like to think that you
came from a particularly beautiful
family of monkeys." I said. She
laughed.
FJ: It sounds as if you dealt with the
criticism well. Were you ever sorry
that your idea was made public?CD: Sometimes. But I knew that my
observations over twenty years
proved my idea was correct.F J: So, twenty years of collecting
evidence was a good example of
perseverance and a true
commitment to your theory. Thank

In 1802 Beethoven became very upset when he realized that he would never hear accurately again. Because he was unable to share his feelings with others, he poured all his feelings into his music. His fifth symphony was the first wherethese powerful feelings were expressed. In the first movement Beethoven introduces a strong beat, which is repeated to make a rhythm, it has been described as “fate knocking at the doer”. It shows Beethoven’s attitude to his problem of deafness.
(Extract of music from fifth symphony first movement)But his mood changes as the symphony continues. In the third movement his despair was transformed into something much more exciting and challenging. It is as if he was refusing to be defeated by his deafness. Listen to the power of the music.
(Extract from fifth symphony third movement) Beethoven's love of nature was well-known. The countryside calmed and relaxed him and also found its way into his music. On many occasions when he was struggling to finish a piece of music he would go for a long walk to sort out his ideas. He described this as "working while he walked". These walks found their way in his sixth symphony, called the Pastoral symphony or countryside symphony, which is one of his most popular compositions.
( Extract from the pastoral symphony)After 1812 his hearing became so bad that he became severely upset. Maybe he felt that nothing good would happen to him again. His musical output almost stopped. But strangely enough, this produced some of his mostemotional music. His ninth and last symphony, called the choral symphony, was his greatest composition. He used a poem by a German poet to express his feelings of hope and joy.
(Extract from last movement of Beethoven's ninth symphony)But Beethoven's music was not always grand and important. Many of his pieces for the piano are personal and gentle. So we will finish with one of his best-loved piano pieces, the Moonlight Sonata. The first movement describes a peaceful, quiet and beautiful moonlight nightwhen all troubles have disappeared and only the beauty of nature remains.
(Complete Moonlight Sonata)SPEAKING TASKMany people think that Beethoven was always a genius. Other people think he would never have been such a great composer but for his deafness.Step 1: In pairs discuss:
whether you think a genius is born or is made by circumstances;
whether you think adversity makes one wise or not.Step 2: Have a class debate. Use the
ideas and examples you have
collected to help you with
your arguments. Beethoven's life
Born: 1770 Died:1827Career:
1795: already an important pianist, teacher of music, composer, and giver of concerts
1798: deafness began to interfere
1802: concentrated only on composing
1817: totally deaf
1823: last symphony composed S1: Do you think Beethoven was always have been a genius or was he made into one by circumstances?
S2: I think he was always a great musician. Let's look at his life before he went deaf. He was already aSample discussionalready a famous pianist and he did do some composing. But his composing was not the most important part of his work before he became deaf. So I think circumstances made him a great composer.S1: Yes, but I suppose he must always
have had it in him to be a great
composer and the deafness gave
him an opportunity to concentrate
on it. It doesn't mean he wasn't
born a genius -- it just means he did
not develop that skill fully at first.S2: OK. What other evidence is there?
His compositions were good but not
outstanding until the Fifth
Symphony when be put all his
feelings about his deafness into his
music. It was this ability to express
his emotions in music that made him
a genius. That was the result of
circumstances.S1: Of course you're right but his
compositions were already well-
known. He had the ability.
Concentrating on it made it
greater. That's all. Anyway let's
hear what the others have to say
in the class debate, shall we?WRITING TASK Write a newspaper article putting
forward your point of view about
Beethoven. Remember to:
* begin by describing your idea of
a genius;
* collect your ideas about whether Beethoven fits this description or whether he became a genius as a response to disaster in his life. Make each idea a new paragraph and set out a reason for each;* finish by repeating what you said in
the first paragraph. Make it clear
whether you believe Beethoven
showed perseverance to become a
genius in the face of terrible
difficulties or whether he was a born
genius.Some useful words and expressionsSample writingWHAT MAKES BEETHOVEN A GENIUSMy idea of a genius is someone who has a great talent but must develop this talent through hard work until it become good enough to produce the work of a genius. Beethoven was certainly a man like that. He had great talents as a composer of music. He played the piano and was a famous pianist of his day. He had also already begun to compose before hebecame deaf. His deafness forced him to concentrate on his composing and that produced some very profound and important music. It made him into a real genius. The perseverance of Beethoven in the face of his deafness made him into a composer far more important than he would have been without it. Indeed it has beensuggested that his terrible difficulties pushed him into becoming a genius. I would agree with that and so I suggest that geniuses are made not born.

This is the true story of one young man, Perce Blackborow, who hid aboard the ship that took Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the South Pole. He was accepted by him, once he was found, and became a steward and cook for the rest of the expedition. The main plot of the storyWhen the ship was crushed by ice, Perce was one of those left behind on Elephant Island to wait for rescue. Shackleton and a few others set out through very dangerous seas to South Georgia Island to get help so that they could all be saved. The conditions for those left on Elephant Island were very bad. They had little food, other than penguin or seal, problems keeping warm, problems melting the ice for water and protecting their fingers and toes from frostbite. Perce had to have his toes removed because they bad become affected by the cold. Nevertheless the small group remained loyal to their captain's instructions: to remain cheerful and optimistic despite all difficulties. Above all they worked to stay alive till Shackleton returned to rescue them.Answer some questions1. Where is the reading passage set?
2. Why is the title of the passage “A
successful failure”? Was the expedition
a failure? Was it a success?
3. Who does Perce admire and why?Words and expressions explained1 ... almost blocking out the memories of happier times.
2 Just as I am about to become self-pitying
3 ... must have mourned this unexpected end…... almost blocking out the memories of happier times. The expression to block out here is used in an idiomatic way. The verb literally means to stop light reaching a place but it is used in this context to mean to stop remembering things.2 Just as I am about to become self-pitying, the door to our shelter opens and a blast of cold air tears through the hut.This is a compound word that means to feel sorry for oneself and in the story Perce is about to feel very sorry for himself because of the desperate situation they are in.3. I believe Shackleton must have mourned this unexpected end to his expedition, but he did not waste time on regrets. To mourn for someone or something means that you are very sad that a person has died or a thing has ended.Understanding ideas1. Why were Perce and his colleagues left on Elephant Island?
2. Why did Perce not apply for the expedition like everyone else?3. Why is he unable to think of happier
times as he lies inside his sleeping bag?
4. What are his problems?
5. Do you think he has a sensible
approach to his situation? Why?Discussion of ideas Which is more valuable: a man's life
or visiting a previously unvisited spot?
2. What precautions should have been
taken before the expedition in case of
emergency?3. Do you think Perce and his companions
had any alternative to eating seals and
penguins? What would you have done?
4. Are there any circumstances under
which you would eat seals or
penguins? Give your reasons.1. Choose the correct answer to each question. 1). Why did Blackborow think that being “young, fit and energetic” would encourage Shackleton to take him on the trip?A Shackleton liked young people who were
fit and energetic.
B It would be cold and Shackleton would
need young, energetic people to do
difficult jobs
C Shackleton wanted people who were fit
but not trained in useful skills.
D Blackborow would not have gone unless
he was young and energetic.2). Why did Shackleton accept Perce when he found him hiding in the ship after the voyage had started?A He didn't have time to turn round and
take him back to England.
B He admired his courage and
encouraged him to stay.
C He felt angry but could not show it so
he accepted the boy.
D He made the best of the situation.3). Why did Shackleton not show how
disappointed he was when the ship sank?A He thought he could always
organize another expedition.
B He knew it would be easier to cross
Antarctica without the ship.C He felt the men would need
encouraging after this disaster.
D He had already taken all necessary
supplies from the ship.2. When the ship sank, Shackleton encouraged each sailor to collect three personal things (camera, banjo, diary, family album, etc) to take with him. Try to make a dialogue between Shackleton and three of his men about what to leave, what to take and why.Hints:….want to take something to read
… take my "gameboy" with me to play
with.
… need a battery … cannot buy
batteries at the South Pole!… choose a pack of cards… play with
that.
… take my diary… write about how it
feels and what happens to us every
day
… taking a bar of soap … try and
keep clean… S1: OK. This was Shackleton’s position. The ship is sinking. He has collected essential supplies and now suggested that each person take three personal things. What sort of things do you think we should choose?S2: I want to take something to read. I would feel very upset if there was nothing to do while we were waiting to be rescued.
S3: That’s a good idea. I would take my “gameboy” with me to play with.
S4: Do you think that’s a good idea? You need a battery for that and you cannot buy batteries at the South Pole!S3: That’s true. Perhaps it would be better if I chose a pack of cards. We can all play with that.
S1: That’s a good idea. Now what about you, other?
S2: Perhaps I would take my diary. Then I can write about how it feels and what happens to us every day. That way we could keep a record.S3: And I am thinking of taking a bar of soap so I can try and keep clean. It makes me miserable if I feel dirty. So it will help keep me cheerful.
S1: Those are good choices and good reasons. Now you each have two more to choose… What qualities do you think Shackleton and Perce show? Find some examples to support your ideas.1Perseverance, unselfishness, calmness

Sam was very tired but he could see
the top of the mountain ahead. It had
been two days since they began the
climb to the top. At first he had felt
excited and full of anticipation at the
thought of climbing such a high
mountain but now he just felt tired and weary. He was in his sixties.
He wanted to stop climbing, lie
down and go to sleep. As he
staggered slowly at the back of
the group he heard his brother, Fred, calling to him. “It's not far now! Come on, Sam. You don't want to come so far and not succeed.

As she rushed towards the bus stop she could see the people picking up their bags. That must mean that the bus was coming. Meimei took her wallet
from her bag. She stood there helplessly as she saw there was no money in her wallet. She was not going to get there in time and she would miss her mother who was eager to see her Meimei began to cry as the bus started and moved away towards the city. What was she going to do? Just then a motorbike drew up beside her. It was her neighbour, Wang Yi. “What's the matter, Meimei?” she asked. When Meimei told her, Wang Yi moved fast. “Get on,” she said. “I’II take you home.” They drove fast along the road, passing the bus as it slowly climbed up the hill and arrived at her home ahead of it. “How can I ever thank you?” whispered Meimei gratefully. “It's my pleasure,” said Wang Yi. “Give my love to your mother and tell her that I hope I'll have a wonderful daughter like you one day.” Meimei smiled for the first time that afternoon. “I certainly will,” she said. “I shall be in plenty of time now.”HOMEWORKWrite one article from the following two other pictures.See you tomorrow!Unit 1

Do you know “不入虎穴，焉得虎子” in Chinese?
How can we say the same meaning in English?
Nothing brave, nothing have.
Nothing seek, nothing find.
Nothing stake, nothing draw.
Nothing venture, nothing win (or have or gain).
Nothing crave, nothing have.
Sow nothing, reap nothing.
He who risks nothing, gains nothing.
He who risks nothing gains nothing.
If you venture nothing, you will have nothing.
Tasks:
Read and listen to the three stories on P1. And try to think out the characters they have in common. What do you think helped them out and achieved success in life?
King Bruce is watching the spider weaving its web.
Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider (蜘蛛) making a web. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English.
Anne Sullivan is teaching Helen Keller by feeling or touching.
Helen Keller, born a normal little girl, but at the age of 19 months became iii and lost her hearing and her sight. She and her family was in despair until they met Anne Sullivan. Her work with Helen was very successful. After college, Helen gave lecture tours speaking about her experiences and her beliefs. They worked very hard to raise money, to encourage people to educate blind and deaf children.
Gou Jian is sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall.
Gou Jian was the ruler of the kingdom of Yue, conquered by the neighboring kingdom of Wu. He was made a slave and suff-ered many hardships. But his tolerance earned the trust of the King of Wu and eventually he was set free. But he never forgot his suffering, slept on firewood and straw every night, and tasted bitter gall-bladder until his kingdom was strong enough and he attacked the King of Wu and killed him.
Something in common:
make up one’s mind,
be determined to do sth,
persevere with,
stick at, persist in,
not give up, not be discouraged by,
keep going, keep trying, keep positive, etc.
Positive adj.
patient,
resilient, persevering, resourceful, focused,
serious, determined, strong-willed
Negative adj.
obstinate, stubborn,
pig-headed
Discussion
1. What conclusion can we draw from the three stories?
2. By what did they achieve their success?
3. How do you regard the behaviour of Gou Jian?
4. What can we learn from them?
Reading comprehension
The “spider-story” is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider (蜘蛛) making a web. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb (电灯泡), made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spirit then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?
Second, is the goal (目标) you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question: “If I am successful in this, where will it get me?” This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn’t be doing anyway. The third thing to remember about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t win them all.”
1. Robert Bruce was mentioned in the passage to show that______. A. people who fail are not lonely B. animals can help people sometimes C. nature will help us if we are hard-working D. confidence is important for one to be successful 2. Edison’s example shows us that______. A. he liked to do other kinds of work B. he invented many kinds of light bulbs C. failure may be a way towards success D. he was a man of many important inventions
3. If you are not sure about what success will get you, you’d better . A. change your goal
B. go on with your goal C. not care for that
D. work even harder on your goal 4. It can be learned from the passage that . A. one should try not to fail B. one’s failure is another’s success C. one should take failure seriously D. one should learn lessons from failure 5. This passage is mainly about . A. two great men B. two sides of failure C. the right attitude (态度) towards failure D. ways to keep away from failure

Try to skim through the passage and get the main plot of the story.
The main plot of the story
This is the true story of one young man, Perce Blackborow, who hid aboard the ship that took Ernest Shackleton's expedition to the South Pole. He was accepted by him, once he was found, and became a steward and cook for the rest of the expedition.
When the ship was crushed by ice, Perce was one of those left behind on Elephant Island to wait for rescue. Shackleton and a few others set out through very dangerous seas to South Georgia Island to get help so that they could all be saved.
The conditions for those left on Elephant Island were very bad. They had little food, other than penguin or seal, problems keep-ing warm, problems melting the ice for water and protecting their fingers and toes from frostbite. Perce had to have his toes removed because they bad become affected by the cold.
Nevertheless the small group remained loyal to their captain's instructions: to remain cheerful and optimistic despite all difficulties. Above all they worked to stay alive till Shackleton returned to rescue them.
Answer some questions:
1. Where is the reading passage set?
2. Why is the title of the passage “A successful failure”? Was the expedition a failure? Was it a success?
3. Who does Perce admire and why?
Words and expressions explained
1 ... almost blocking out the memories of happier times.
The expression to block out here is used in an idiomatic way. The verb literally means to stop light reaching a place but it is used in this context to mean to stop remembering things.
2 Just as I am about to become self-pitying, the door to our shelter opens and a blast of cold air tears through the hut.
This is a compound word that means to feel sorry for oneself and in the story Perce is about to feel very sorry for himself because of the desperate situation they are in.
3 I believe Shackleton must have mourned this unexpected end to his expedition, but he did not waste time on regrets.
To mourn for someone or something means that you are very sad that a person has died or a thing has ended.
Ideas understood
1. Why were Perce and his colleagues left on Elephant Island?
2. Why did Perce not apply for the expedition like everyone else?
3. Why is he unable to think of happier times as he lies inside his sleeping bag?

5. Do you think he has a sensible approach to his situation ? Why ?
Discussion of ideas

4. Are there any circumstances under which you would eat seals or penguins ? Give your reasons.
Choose the correct answer to each question.
1. Why did Blackborow think that being "young, fit and energetic" would encourage Shackleton to take him on the trip?
A Shackleton liked young people who were fit and energetic.

THE RESCUE
1 Read these questions and listen to the tape for the first time.
Why did Shackleton have to attempt the journey to South Georgia?
There were two reasons: he felt his men were too weak to last very long without rescue; no ships passed that way. So Shackleton knew he would have to go for help himself.
Do you think there was any alternative?
2 Listen to the tape again. Write down the problems that Shackleton faced on the rescue attempt and how he overcame them.

As she rushed towards the bus stop she could see the people picking up their bags. That must mean that the bus was coming. Meimei took her wallet from her bag. She stood there help-lessly as she saw there was no money in her wallet. She was not going to get there in time and she would miss her mother who was eager to see her Meimei began to cry as the bus started and moved away towards the city.

"How can I ever thank you?" whispered Meimei gratefully. "It's my pleasure," said Wang Yi. "Give lny love to your mother and tell her that 1 hope I'll have a wonderful daughter like you one day."

Optimism helped us persevere
1 Answer these questions after reading the passage.
1 What kind of problems did the men have to face on Elephant Island?
1. They had to face two kinds of problems: one was psychological and the other physical. The psychological one was to stay cheerful and not give way to despair. The physical problem was to stay fit despite a diet consisting only of meat. This meant that there were not enough vitamins or minerals and the food was the same day after day.
2 What do you think was their greatest worry? How do you think they overcame this difficulty?
2. I think their greatest worry was not being rescued. They dealt with this by remaining cheerful, having musical evenings singing to the banjo and holding celebrations.
3 What did Shackleton encourage them to have celebrations? How do you think the celebrations helped?
3. Celebrations give people something to look forward to, create good relationships between the people who are celebrating and make everyone feel more cheerful. That is why Shackleton encouraged them.

WHAT MAKES BEETHOVEN A GENIUS
课件26张PPT。Warming Up Nothing brave, nothing have.
Nothing seek, nothing find.
Nothing stake, nothing draw.
Nothing venture, nothing win (or have or gain). Do you know “不入虎穴, 焉得虎子” in Chinese? How can we say the same meaning in English?Sow nothing, reap nothing.
He who risks nothing, gains nothing.
If you venture nothing, you will have nothing. Read the three stories on P1. And try to think out the characters they have in common. What do you think helped them out and achieved success in life?TasksKing Bruce is watching the spider weaving its web.Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider (蜘蛛) making a web. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English.Anne Sullivan is teaching Helen Keller by feeling or touching.Helen Keller, born a normal little girl, but in 1880, she had a fever that made her blind and deaf at the age of 19 months. She and her family was in despair until they met Anne Sullivan. Her work with Helen was very successful. After college, Helen gave lecture tours speaking about her experiences and her beliefs. They worked very hard to raise money, to encourage people to educate blind and deaf children. Gou Jian is sleeping on
firewood and straw tasting gall-bladder.Gou Jian was the ruler of the kingdom of Yue, conquered by the neighboring kingdom of Wu. He was made a slave and suffered many hardships. But his tolerance earned the trust of the King of Wu and eventually he was set free. 卧薪尝胆But he never forgot his suffering, slept on firewood and straw every night, and tasted bitter gall-bladder until his kingdom was strong enough and he attacked the King of Wu and killed him. 卧薪尝胆Something in commonmake up one’s mind,

pig-headedPositive adj.Negative adj.Discussion What conclusion can we draw from the
three stories?
2. By what did they achieve their success?
3. How do you regard the behaviour of Gou Jian?
4. What can we learn from them?Reading comprehension The “spider-story” is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider (蜘蛛) making a web. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spirit then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time? Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb (电灯泡), made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Second, is the goal (目标) you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question: “If I am successful in this, where will it get me?” This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn’t be doing anyway. The third thing to remember about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t win them all.” Robert Bruce was mentioned in the passage to show that______. A. people who fail are not lonely B. animals can help people sometimes C. nature will help us if we are hard-
working D. confidence is important for one to be
successful 2. Edison’s example shows us that______. A. he liked to do other kinds of work B. he invented many kinds of light bulbs C. failure may be a way towards success D. he was a man of many important
inventions3. If you are not sure about what success will get you, you’d better___ . A. change your goal

Autumn is a 38 season and life is uninteresting. The free days always get me 39 . But one day, the sound of a violin 40 into my ears like a stream flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 41 in playing her violin.

The girl smiled and I smiled.
I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure of the girl. She is like a
52 ; so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.
There are many kinds of friends. Some are always 53 you, but don’t understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but are close to you. Many people will step in your life, but only 54 friends leave footprints.

In ancient times, it was quite common to believe in the magical power of numbers. It was believed some numbers could inform someone of the future or show the hidden side of a person’s personality. Numerology, the art of reading the power in numbers, was often practiced in Jewish tradition and among Greek mathematicians. Today, many of those who still practise numerology use the Hebrew system which gives each letter of the alphabet one of the numbers 1 through 8.
Here is an example of how the Hebrew system of numerology works. In order to find the number related to a person’s name, first assign(分派) the correct number to each letter of the name. The following chart can be used to see the number related to a person’s name.
1
A·I·Q·J·Y
3
C·G·L·S

For a name like John, the following numbers are used; J=1,O=7,H=5, and N=5. Add these numbers together. The total is 18. Because this number is larger than 9, add the two digits(数字) so that, 1+8=9. Nine is the number which refers to the name John.
Each number from 1 to 9 shows a different type of personality. One is the number of a leader, a person who will achieve many things. Two represents a person who is gentle and kind, but this is also a person who does not have clear goals. Three stands for a social person who is intelligent(有才智的) and creative. A person whose name equals four is a dependable, organized, and logical person. Five is the number for a person who is clever but impatient. Six is a “happy” number. This type of person is peaceful, sincere, and has a well-balanced life. Seven is the number for a person who prefers to be alone. This kind of person is a thinker. Eight shows a person who will have money. This kind of person also thinks only of himself or herself. Nine is the number of a genius or spiritual leader.
56. The purpose of numerology as explained in the passage is ____.
A. to count people B. to strengthen the custom
C. to foresee a person’s personality D. to practise tradition
57. What number represents Walter’s name if he checks the chart ? ____ .
A. 3 B. 5 C. 7 D. 9
58. It can be inferred from the passage that ____ .
A. Vera may be thought a wealthy person in the future
B. The writer of the passage is a Greek mathematician
C. A person who wants to examine his name is sure to make himself lucky
D. A boy whose name number is three is expected to be an inventor or a film director

A student suicide last Wednesday in Guangzhou has not only made the victim’s family sad but has shown the seriousness of depression and mental fragility(脆弱) among students.
Huang Yi was a third-year biology major at Guangzhou Jinan University. He chose to end his life by jumping off the eighth floor of his apartment building on January 16, according to Guangzhou Daily.
Huang left a 100-word suicide note. He wrote that he could not bear the heavy studies and wanted relief from the pressure. Huang, the son of a professor, received a good education from childhood.
“Depression from studies is a major contributing factor to thoughts of suicide,” said Wang Jianzhong, director of the psychological counseling(心理咨询) center at Bejing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
According to Wang, depression may result from high stress(压力), social isolation(孤立), the recent romantic relationships, or failure to live up to one’s own or others’ expectations.
Experts say a suicide attempt is a cry for help.
“The suicidal person is letting his/her feelings be known. ” said Qian Mingyi, professor of psychology of Peking University. Qian is also a member of the Chinese Association of Mental Health and co-board member of the World Council for Psychotherapy.
Qian said Huang’s note expressed difficulty in easing the pressure from studies.
“It once again has alarmed us. We must rethink our education—which is now more exam-centred than quality-based, ” she said.
Education on prevention and psychology training are the best ways to help prevent suicides, experts agree.
“Most people who attempt or commit suicide have shown some warning signs. ”said Wang . “When you see any signs, discuss the problem openly with him or her to show the suicidal student that someone cares and wants to help. ”
Many universities and colleges have mental care or counseling centers or hotlines where troubled students can turn. But much more is needed, Wang said. “Few who attempt suicide seek help from counseling centers. The most powerful preventive measure is public education. Key people, such as faculty members, tutors and school physicians, need to be trained to recognize risk factors and offer timely help. ”
59. The underlined word “suicide” probably means “____”.
A. kill oneself B. treat oneself badly
C. harm oneself D. defend oneself
60.Students killed themselves because of ____ .
A. money shortage B. social isolation
C. depression from studies D. failure in examinations
61.According to what the experts say, the best way to help prevent suicides is ____ .
A. to have a face-to-face conversation
B. to satisfy his/her needs properly
C. To give them education on prevention and psychology training
D. to analyze the ill effect of his suicide
62. The text is mainly about ____ .
A. the reason why students don’t cherish their lives
B. the fact that a student suicide has caused great disputes(争论)
C. how to avoid student suicides in our daily life
D. something connecting with student suicides
C
“Congratulations, Mr Jones, it’s a girl.”
Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel proud when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, Others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy(怀孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mother, only recently has literature(文学) focused on the role of a father.
It is argued by some writers that the transition(转化) to the father’s role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as great as the transition the wife must make to the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative(革新性的) adaptation(适应), on the other hand, the father’s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.
63.According to the author, being a father____ .
A. brings a feeling of excitement to some men
B. makes some men feel proud and others uneasy
C. has a different meaning for those who have daughters
D. means nothing but more responsibilities
64. It is stated in the passage that ____
A. young couples do not like children at all
B. some parents are not prepared to have a child
C. working couples do not have much time to take care of their children
D. many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child
65. In the third paragraph, the author ____ .
A. criticizes fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up their children
B. excuses the American writers for ignoring(忽视) the difficulties of being a father
C. supports the idea that the chief role of a father is to earn money for the family
D. complains(抱怨) about the lack of social program to help husbands get used to the role of a father
66. The transition to the mother’s role requires that the wife ____ .
A. change her life style in a highly innovative way
B. stay at home to take care of the baby
C. make a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situation
D. help her husband in his resocialization process
67. Some writers argue that with respect to the change of roles, fathers, compared with mothers,_____ .
A. have an easier job to do B. have to make more difficult adaptations
C. have to shoulder more burdens D. can usually do a better job
D
There are three branches of medicine. One is called “doctor medicine,” or “scientific medicine.” Scientific doctors try to observe sicknesses, look for logical patterns, and then find out how the human body works. From there they figure out what treatments may work. This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC. Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this approach probably did not cure many patients.
A second kind of medicine is called “natural cures,” or “folk medicine,” in which less educated people try to cure sicknesses with various herbs(中草药). These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it. They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then keep doing that. Folk medicine flourished long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine.
The third kind is called “health spas,” or “faith healing.” Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed. Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell, to cure you. Some religious groups organize special healing shrines for the sick. In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways. They also talk to the priests and pray to the gods. If you are feeling depressed or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better.
68. Doctor medicine ________.
A. has a longer history than folk medicine
B. has been practiced for around 1,600 years
C. bases its treatments on observation and logic
D. was very successful in curing sicknesses in ancient times.
69. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT used in health spas?
A. Magic power. B. Various herbs.
C. Religious faith. D. A healthy life style.
70. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. Folk healers choose different herbs to cure diseases without any sound basis.
B. People who practice folk medicine need lots of formal education on herbs.
C. The success of folk medicine led to the development of doctor medicine.
D. Natural cures worked better than scientific medicine in ancient times.
71. The author’s primary purpose in this passage is to _______.
A. describe different types of medicine
B. argue for the importance of medicine in health care.
C. show the crucial(决定性的) role religion plays in medical treatments.
D. compare the educational background of three different types of patients.

Beverley had been feeling dull, bored and a bit out of it. He mentioned his mood (state of mind) when going to Andrew for a sports massage. He wondered whether he should take up Tai Chi. But Andrew didn’t think so.
“Tai Chi is great for people who want to feel grounded, but that isn’t your problem,” he said. “What you need is something more exciting, like dancing.”
In future, therapists(理疗专家) may well suggest that you fight your sadness with a course in kickboxing, and family doctors might suggest that you take a rest in the mountains instead.
We’ve long been aware that exercise has benefits beyond the physical ones; that activity can relax you, and help psychological well-being by reducing stress, anxiety and sadness.
Now some trainers and sports psychologists are going further and examining how to identify the correct exercise for a client’s(当事人) specific state of mind and personality.
Professor Stuart Biddle, an exercise and sports psychologist based at Loughborough University, England, has researched the effects of exercise on moods.
One of his findings was that, if your problem is low self-esteem, weight training should be your bag. “Working with weights builds strength,” he says, “and creates a stronger body image.”
Anger management, meanwhile, demands bursts of explosive(爆发性的) activity, from sports such as boxing or tennis.
This is because anger makes the body release（释放） adrenaline(肾上腺素), which causes heart rate and blood pressure to rise and muscles to become tighter —— the physiological changes required if you are to defend yourself.
Research shows that the “punch-bag(用拳头击打沙袋)” method of releasing disappointment and anger through hitting a boxing opponent(对手) or tennis ball, can help with fighting issues.
They have also found that teamwork is good for self-esteem and that those who are brought together to work in a social setting become more lively.
Which type of exercise will best help is, of course, down to the individual. Clearly, before you can find the best physical activity for yourself, you have to know your needs.
Ask yourself a few questions such as: What do I need in my life? Which issues are difficult for me? Am I sad or troubled? Only then can you decide whether you need taking up, or taking down.
72.Why did Andrew think Beverley shouldn’t take up Tai Chi?
A. Because Beverley was too weak.
B. Because Beverley was too foolish.
C. Because Beverley’s mind was out of control.
D. Because Beverley lacked activity.
73. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Psychologists haven’t realized the relationship between exercise and health.
B. People have already realized the relationship between exercise and spirits.
C. Boxing and tennis are the best ways to increase one’s self-esteem.
D. Trainers and psychologists don’t agree with each other on exercise.
74. Professor Stuart Biddle thinks that ____ .
A. anger should be examined by doctors
B. anger should be taken away by medicine
C. anger should be given off by activities
D. anger should be held back by oneself
75. The main idea of this passage may be ____ .
A. sports build up your body
B. sports are helpful to your mind
C. heart trouble is due to anger
D. anxiety and sadness are harmful to you

书面表达：
One possible version:
More and more students are doing part-time jobs today. There are many advantages in students doing part-time jobs. Besides earning some money to support themselves, they can learn a lot which cannot be learned from textbooks. They will learn to get along with different kinds of people, get useful working experiences and learn the value of labor.
However, there are also some disadvantages. For example, too much work may take up much of the students’ study time and affect their studies. Another disadvantage is that money earned, if not properly used, may lead to some bad habits, or even greed.
Good or bad, it is not easy for students to get part-time jobs in China now. To change the situation, the society should develop a fresh look at students doing part-time jobs and provide them with opportunities in applying what they learn in the classroom to the real life situation of our society.
