A
I've
always
felt
a
need
to
be
prepared
for
whatever
situation
I've
found
myself
in．
My
mother
once
took
me
to
a
store
when
I
was
seven
years
old．She
and
I
got
to
the
checkout
counter,
and
she
realized
she
had
forgotten
a
couple
of
things
on
her
shopping
list．She
left
me
with
the
cart
and
ran
off
to
get
what
she
needed．
"I'll
be
right
back．"
she
said．
She
was
gone
just
a
few
minutes,
but
in
that
time,
I
had
loaded
all
the
things
on
the
belt
and
everything
was
rung
up．I
was
left
staring
at
the
cashier,
who
was
staring
at
me．"Do
you
have
money
for
me,
son "
she
said．"I'll
need
to
be
paid．"
I
didn't
realize
she
was
just
trying
to
amuse
herself．So
I
stood
there,
ashamed
and
embarrassed．
By
the
time
my
mom
returned,
I
was
angry．"You
left
me
here
with
no
money!
This
lady
asked
me
for
the
money,
and
I
had
nothing
to
give
her.”
Now
that
I'm
an
adult,
you'll
never
catch
me
with
less
than
$200
in
my
wallet．I
want
to
be
prepared
in
case
I
need
it．
I've
always
admired
people
who
are
over-prepared．In
college,
I
had
a
classmate
named
Norman．One
day
he
was
giving
a
presentation
on
an
overhead
projector
and
in
the
middle
of
his
talk,
the
light
bulb
on
the
projector
blew
out．We
would
have
to
wait
ten
minutes
until
someone
found
a
new
projector．
"It's
Okay."
he
announced．"There's
nothing
to
worry
about."
We
watched
him
walk
over
to
his
bag
and
pull
something
out．He
had
brought
along
a
spare
bulb
for
the
overhead
projector．Who
could
even
think
of
that
I
often
told
my
students,
"
When
you
go
into
the
wilderness,
the
only
thing
you
can
depend
on
is
what
you
take
with
you．"
And
essentially,
the
wilderness
is
anywhere
but
your
home
or
office．So
take
money．Pack
a
light
bulb．Be
prepared．
21．Why
did
the
cashier
ask
a
seven-year-old
boy
to
pay
for
the
purchases
A．The
boy
was
shopping
by
himself．
B．The
boy's
mother
asked
her
to
do
so．
C．The
cashier
was
playing
a
joke
on
him．
D．The
boy's
mother
was
away
for
something
else．
22．Why
did
Norman
bring
a
spare
bulb
with
him
A．He
was
always
well-prepared．
B．His
presentation
was
about
bulbs．
C．He
knew
the
classroom
equipment
was
of
poor
quality．
D．He
predicted
the
bulb
on
the
projector
would
blow
out．
23．What
do
the
two
stories
tell
us
A．Accidents
happen
almost
every
day．
B．In
fair
weather,
prepare
for
a
rainy
day．
C．Money
is
the
key
that
opens
all
doors.
D．Chances
favor
those
who
are
well-prepared．

"Oh,

Did
I
really
just
send
that
text "
Most
people
have
said
something
that
they
wish
they
could
take
back.
And
if
they
had
paused
to
think
about
it
first,
they
probably
would
have
acted
differently.
Pausing
doesn't
pay
off
just
when
you
speak.
Scientific
studies
have
shown
that
making
a
habit
of
pausing
before
you
do
something
can
actually
have
a
big
impact
on
how
your
life
turns
out.
In
making
decisions
we
rely
on
two
areas
of
the
brain.
One
area
creates
and
processes
emotions;
the
other
governs
logical
thought.
The
type
of
decision,
how
we
feel
about
it,
and
how
prepared
we
are
to
handle
it
help
determine
which
brain
area
has
the
most
influence.

But
our
age
also
plays
an
important
role.
Thinking
through
the
consequences
of
one's
actions
is
actually
harder
for
teens
because
the
area
controlling
logical
(逻辑的)thought
is
not
fully
developed
until
around
age
25.
This
is
why
teens
often
feel
an
intense
emotional
drive
to
act
impulsively(冲动地)---it's
how
their
brains
are
structured!
Though
this
tendency
to
act
without
considering
the
outcomes
can
lead
to problematic
situations,
impulsivity
during
the
developmental
years
evolves
because
it
makes
teens
more
open
to
new
experiences
and
ideas.
This
openness
helps
teens
to
become
independent
adults.
The
key
to
making
impulsivity
work
for
you
instead
of
against
you
is
to
train
your
brain
by
practicing
pausing.
This
doesn't
mean
you
stop
taking
risks
or
being
open
to
new
experiences.
But
you
won't
know
if
the
risk
is
worth
it
until
you
think
it
through.
Deciding
to
take
a
risk
based
on
logic
shows
self-control,
not
impulsivity.

What
are
different
ways
to
pause
You
might
take
a
deep
breath,
count
to
10,
or
ask
"Is
this
worth
it "
different
strategies
work
for
different
people.
Whatever
works
for
you,
keep
doing
it!
By
practicing
pausing,
you
can
actually
change
your
brain.
This
means
that
over
time,
pausing,
instead
of
immediately
reacting,
becomes
your
"natural"
response.

And
with
this
change,
people
are
on
their
way
to
enjoying
the
life
rewards
that
come
with
high
levels
of
self-control---even
if
they
weren't
natural-born
pausers!

D.
Crying
Over

D
One
of
the
main
challenges
facing
many
countries
is
how
to
maintain
their
identity
in
the
face
of
globalization
and
the
growing
multi-language
trend.
"One
of
the
main
reasons
for
economic
failure
in
many
African
countries
is
the
fact
that,
with
a
few
important
exceptions,
mother-tongue
education
is
not
practiced
in
any
of
the
independent
African
states."
said
Neville
Alexander,
Director
of
the
Project
for
the
Study
of
Alternative
Education
in
South
Africa
at
the
University
of
Cape
Town.
In
response
to
the
spread
of
English
and
the
increased
multi-language
trends
arising
from
immigration,
many
countries
have
introduced
language
laws
in
the
last
decade.
In
some,
the
use
of
languages
other
than
the
national
language
is
banned
in
public
spaces
such
as
advertising
posters.
One
of
the
first
such
legal
provisions(规定)
was
the
1994
"Toubon
law"
in
France,
and
the
idea
has
been
copied
in
many
countries
since
then.
Such
efforts
to
govern
language
use
are
often
considered
as
futile
by
language
experts,
who
are
well
aware
of
the
difficulty
in
controlling
fashions
in
speech
and
know
from
research
that
language
switching
among
bilinguals
is
a
natural
process.
It
is
especially
difficult
for
native
speakers
of
English
to
understand
the
desire
to
maintain
the
"purity"
of
a
language
by
law.
Since
the
time
of
Shakespeare,
English
has
continually
absorbed
foreign
words
into
its
own
language.
English
is
one
of
the
most
mixed
and
rapidly
changing
languages
in
the
world,
but
that
has
not
been
a
barrier
to
acquiring
superiority
and
power.
Another
reason
for
the
failure
of
many
native
English
speakers
to
understand
the
role
of
the
state
regulation
is
that
it
has
never
been
the
Anglo-Saxon
way
of
doing
things.
English
has
never
had
a
state-controlled
authority
for
the
language,
similar,
for
example,
to
the
Academic
Francaise
in
France.
The
need
to
protect
national
languages
is,
for
most
western
Europeans,
a
recent
phenomenon-------especially
the
need
to
ensure
that
English
does
not
unnecessarily
take
over
too
many
fields.
Public
communication,
education
and
new
ways
of
communication
promoted
by
technology,
may
be
key
fields
to
defend.
32.
Neville
Alexander
believes
that
__________.
A.
mother-tongue
education
is
not
practiced
in
all
African
countries
B.
globalization
has
resulted
in
the
economic
failure
of
Africa
C.
globalization
has
led
to
the
rise
of
multi-language
trend
D.
lack
of
mother-tongue
education
can
lead
to
economic
failure
33.The
underlined
word
"futile"
(in
paragraph
2)
most
probably
means
"
___________".
A.
workable
B.
practical
C.
useless
D.
unnecessary
34.
What
can
we
infer
from
the
last
paragraph
A.
English
has
taken
over
fields
like
public
communication
and
education.
B.
Many
aspects
of
national
culture
are
threatened
by
the
spread
of
English.
C.
Most
language
experts
believe
it
is
important
to
promote
a
national
language.
D.
Europeans
have
long
realized
the
need
to
protect
a
national
language.
35.
The
best
title
for
the
passage
is
__________.
A.
Fighting
against
the
rule
of
English
B.
Protecting
local
languages
and
identities
C.
Globalization
and
multi-language
trend

To
maintain
the
purity
of
language
by
law

in
positive
changes
to
people
around
them
and
the
world
in
general.

think
but

makes
you
happy.
2.
Do
not
believe
anything
without
questioning
it.
38
They
are
critical

you.
40
Your
attempts
to
become
“good”
for
everyone

nothing

new
worries,
stresses,
and
problems.
Successful
people
do

to
be
true.

As
far
as
we
all
know,
it’s
impossible
to
please
all
the

comfortable
with
the

to
be
successful,
do
not
let
others
force
their
interpretation
of
success
on
you.

Successful
people
never
ignore
or
avoid
problems，no

awful

The
new
science
of
spending
comes
to
a
surprising
conclusion:
How
we
use
our
money
may 41__as
much
or
more
than
how
much
we’ve
got.
Money
spent
on
experiences,
rather
than
material
goods, 42 more
happiness.
Imagine
that
you
wake
up
tomorrow
morning
to 43 ＄1
million
under
your
bed
.
What
would
you
do 44 that
cash
The
money
will
probably
make
you
think
about
one
thing 45 all
else—yourself.
A
large
amount
of
research
reveals
that
money 46 our
selfish
sides.
We
will 47 much
on
what
that
money
can
do
for
us
alone,
Perhaps
you
are
imagining
buying
a
faster
car,
or
even
a
new
house,
But
studies
show
that 48 goods
often
fail
to
deliver 49 happiness,
Fortunately
,our
ongoing
research 50 many
ways
to
get
more
happiness
from
every
dollar
you
spend,
Changing
how
you
spend
money
can
increase
your
happiness.
But
making
these 51 needs
to
challenge
some
of
our
ideas
of
spending.
It’s
hard
not
to
52 buying
a
house
as
a
wise
investment（投资）,
But
new
research
shows
it
brings
very
little
happiness,
A
study
in
the
United
States
found
that
homeowners,
on
average
,
were
no
happier
than 53 .
So,
working
hard
to
save
money
for
a
house
might
not
be
such
a
good
idea 54 it
means
spending
less
time
with
your
families
and
friends.
And
dozens
of
studies
show
that
people
get
more
happiness
from
buying 55 than
material
things.
Experiential
purchases
---
such
as
trips,
concerts
and
special
meals---
are
more 56 connected
to
our
sense
of
self.
And
experiences
come
with
one
more 57 --
they
tend
to
bring
us 58 to
other
people,
but
more
often,
material
things
are
enjoyed 59 .
So
social
contacts
are
important
to 60 mental
and
physical
health.

Long
ago
the
Emperor
decided
61
(hold)
a
swimming
race
among
13
different
animals.
The
order
in
62
they
finished
would
decide
the
order
of
their
63
（appear）in
the
Chinese
calendar.
All
the
animals
lined
up
on
the
river
bank
and
were
given
64
task
of
getting
to
the
opposite
shore.
The
cat
wondered
__65___he
would
get
across
because
he
was
afraid
of
water.
The
ox
worried
how
he
would
cross
66
his
poor
eyesight.
The
calculating
rat
suggested
that
he
and
the
cat
should
jump
onto
the
ox's
back
and
guide
him
across.
The
ox,
steady
and
hard-working,
did
not
notice
the
two
animals
on
his
back.
In
the
meanwhile,
the
rat___67_(run)behind
the
cat
and
pushed
him
into
the
water.
As
the
ox
came
ashore,
the
rat
jumped
off
and
finished
the
race
first,
68
the
rat
got
the
first
year
__69___（name）after
him
and
the
ox
got
the
second
year.
When
the
lazy
pig
reached
the
finish
line
in
12th
place
the
race
was
over
and
he
___70__(award)
the
final
place
on
the
calendar.
From
that
day
on,
the
cat,
who
never
finished
and
lost
his
place
on
the
calendar,
became
the
enemy
of
the
rat.

第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

Every
boy
and
every
girl
are
eager
for
success.
But
what
can
we
succeed
in
life
Here
are
my
opinions:
First,
we
must
be
friendly
and
kindly.
It
allows
us
to
make
friends
but
survive
wherever
we
are.
Second,
we
must
set
a
goal,
which
motivates
us
to
pursue
our
dreams.
Third,
it’s
better
to
believe
in
us.
Only
with
self-confidence
we
realize
our
goals.
Fourth,
we
should
develop
good
characters,
such
as
a
strong
will
and
diligence,
because
good
qualities
help
us
to
hold
on
to
our
dreams
since
we
get
into
the
trouble.
As
far
as
I’m
concerning,
success
belongs
to
those
who
keep
on
trying.
So
let’s
take
actions
now!
