Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.
My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.
On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?
The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in doing so, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.
28．Why did the author feel uncomfortable about her father as a young adult?
A． He was silent most of the time.B. He was too proud of himself.
C． He did not love his children.D．He expected too much of her.
29．When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel _______.
A． nervous B． sorry C． tired D． safe
30．What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?
A． More critical. B． More talkative
C． Gentle and friendly. D． Strict and hard-working.
31．The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to_____ .
A． the author’s son B． the author’s father
C． the friend of the author’s father D． the café owner
D
When something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，”Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault,” or “I know I’m late，but it’s not my fault；the car broke down”. It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. You should accept the fact and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your workmate fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners also have some problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own abilities. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
32．According to the passage, winners .
A． deal with problems rather than blame others
B． meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C． have responsible and able colleagues
D． blame themselves rather than others
33．The underlined word remedyin Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________.
A． avoid B． refuse C． improve D． consider
34．When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .
A． find a better way to handle the problem
B． blame him for his lack of responsibility
C． tell him to find the cause of the problem
D． ask a more able colleague for help
35．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A． A Winner’s Achievement.
B． A Winner’s Problem.
C． A Winner’s Opportunity.
D． A Winner’s Secret.

Have you ever felt a sudden feeling of joy because you heard a favorite song playing? Then you know that music can have a strong effect (影响) on your emotions. 36 ．It can help get you out of a bad mood (心情) or stay in a good one, says Alicia Ann Clair, professor at the University of Kansas.
37 ． To cheer up, listen to Latin music or anything with a strong beat or a fast speed 38 ． When you want to relax after a busy day, music with a slower speed can calm you down.
Listen to calming music before you start any stressful activities, advises Dr. Clair. "Once you' re in a good state of mind, it' s easier to keep it." You can lower stress at work with music, too, by playing relaxing tunes (曲调). 39 ． "If you listen to them all day long, you' ll stop noticing them," Dr. Clair explains. Then the music won' t have any effect.
40 ． "To feel energetic, start with something relaxing, and then gradually increase the speed and beat," says Dr. Clair. For example, first play some nice slow love songs, and then listen to something more energetic. When you want to calm down after a busy week at work, just do the opposite.
A． Music can also help you relax and feel active.
B． Try to take advantage of this power of music.
C． But only play them when you really need them.
D． Loud and fast music can fill you with energy.
E. There are different kinds of music around the world.
