The
Value
of
Money
A
Three
Feet
From
Gold
???
Darby's
uncle
was
caught
by
the
"gold
fever"
in
the
gold-rush
days,
and
went
west
to
dig
and
grow
rich.
After
months
of
labor,
he
was
rewarded
by
the
discovery
of
the
shining
ore
(矿石).
He
needed
machinery
to
bring
the
ore
to
the
surface.
So,
with
the
"strike",
he
returned
home.
And
with
the
help
of
Darby,
he
borrowed
a
lot
of
money.
After
buying
the
machinery
and
having
it
shipped,
Uncle
and
Darby
went
back
to
dig
the
mine.
???
The
first
car
of
ore
was
mined.
And
the
returns
proved
they
had
one
of
the
richest
mines
in
Colorado!
Down
went
the
drills!
Up
went
the
hopes
of
Uncle
and
Darby!
???
Then
something
happened!
The
vein
(矿脉)of
gold
ore
disappeared!
They
drilled
on,
but
all
in
vain.
Finally,
they
decided
to
quit
and
sold
the
machinery
to
a
junkman
for
a
few
hundred
dollars.
The
junkman
called
in
a
mining
engineer
to
look
at
the
mine
and
do
a
little
calculation.
The
engineer's
calculation
showed
that
the
vein
would
be
found
just
three
feet
from
where
the
Darbys
had
stopped
drilling!
The
junkman
took
millions
of
dollars
in
the
vein,
because
he
knew
enough
to
seek
experts'
advice
before
giving
up.
???
Most
of
the
money
which
went
into
the
machinery
was
borrowed
through
the
efforts
of
Darby,
who
was
then
a
very
young
man.
The
money
came
from
his
relatives
because
of
their
faith
in
him.
He
paid
back
every
dollar
of
it,
although
it
took
years
to
do
so.
???
Long
afterwards,
Mr.
Darby
made
another
discovery
in
which
desire
can
be
changed
into
gold.
This
discovery
came
after
he
went
into
the
business
of
selling
life
insurance.
Remembering
that
he
lost
a
huge
fortune,
for
he
stopped
three
feet
from
gold,
Darby
profited
by
the
experience
in
his
chosen
work,
saying
to
himself,
"I
stopped
three
feet
from
gold,
but
I
will
never
stop
because
men
say
'no'
when
I
ask
them
to
buy
insurance."
???
Darby
sold
more
than
a
million
dollars
in
life
insurance
annually.
He
owes
his
"stick-ability"
to
the
lesson
he
learned
from
his
"quit-ability"
in
the
gold
mining
business.

debts
B.mined
his
gold
from

failure
C.learned
a
lesson
from

D.we

insist
B
???
Over
the
past
few
years
I've
had
an
uncomfortable
sense
that
someone,
or
something,
has
been
making
changes
to
my
brain.
I'm
not
thinking
the
way
I
used
to
think.
I
can
feel
it
most
strongly
when
I'm
reading.
Involving
myself
in
a
book
or
a
lengthy(冗长的)article
used
to
be
easy.
That's
rarely
the
case
anymore.
???
I
think
I
know
what's
going
on.
For
over
a
decade,
I've
been
spending
lots
of
time
online.
The
Web
has
been
a
godsend
to
me
as
a
writer.
Research
that
once
required
days
in
the
rooms
of
libraries
can
now
be
done
in
minutes
by
a
few
Google
searches.
Even
when
I'm
not
working,
I'm
scanning
headlines
or
just
tripping
from
link
to
link.
???
The
Net
is
becoming
a
universal
medium
where
information
flows
through
my
eyes
and
ears
and
into
mind.
The
perfect
recall
of
silicon
memory
(硅制存储器)can
be
a
blessing
to
thinking.
But
that
comes
at
a
price.
As
the
media
theorist
Marshall
Mcluhan
pointed
out,
media
are
not
just
passive
channels
of
information.
They
supply
the
staff
of
thought,
but
they
also
shape
the
process
of
thought.
And
what
the
Net
seems
to
be
doing
is
weakening
my
ability
for
concentration.
Once
I
was
a
driver
in
the
sea
of
words.
Now
I
zip
along
the
surface
like
a
flying
swallow.
???
I'm
not
the
only
one.
When
I
mention
my
troubles
with
reading
to
acquaintances,
Bruce
Friedman,
a
blogger,
also
has
described
how
the
Internet
has
changed
his
mental
habits.
His
thinking
has
taken
on
a
"staccato
(不连贯的)"
quality.
"I
can't
read
War
and
Peace
anymore,"
he
admitted.
"I've
lost
the
ability
to
do
that."
???
A
recently
published
study
suggests
that
when
reading
online,
we
tend
to
become
"more
decoders
(解码器)of
information.
We
are
not
only
what
we
read;
we
are
how
we
read.

thinks
_______.
A.the
Net
is
merely
a
headache
B.he
can
no
longer
die
but
swim
shallowly
C.the
deep
reading
in
the
past
has
become
a
struggle
D.other
people
around
rarely
have
similar
feelings
like
him
2.What
is
the
author's
attitude
towards
the
Internet?
A.Thoroughly
passive.
B.Totally
puzzled.
C.Gladly
approving.
D.Evidently
worried.
3.From
the
passage,
the
more
people
use
the
Web,_______
.
A.the
more
mental
habits
can
be
improved
B.the
more
they
have
to
fight
to
stay
focused
C.the
more
they
are
influenced
in

D.the
more
online
activities
they
can
enjoy
4.Which
of
the
following
can
best
summarize
the
text?
A.Is
the
Net
gradually
changing
us?
B.Long
articles
are
hard
to

nowadays.
C.Do
people
lack

Web

D.More

I'm
a
TV
show
host.
One
Sunday,
I
took
my
7-year-old
daughter
by
the
sea
for
lunch.
On
arriving
at
the
beach,
I
saw
JoJo,
a
wealthy
man
in
the
hotel
business.
We
sat
down
to
chat
in
an
open
air
cafe.
???
Suddenly
our
conversation
was
interrupted
(中断)by
a
stranger,
who
politely
asked
permission(容许)to
speak
to
me.
Often
people
want
to
tell
me
something
about
my
controversial
(有争议的)TV
show,
when
I'm
out
on
the
streets.
???
He
asked
to
speak
to
me
privately,
so
we
stood
a
bit
away
from
my
table.
He
said,
"I'm
James,
35
years
old,
father
of
a
7-year-old
girl,
who's
very
sick.
She
needs
treatment
abroad.
The
doctors
said
that
if
she
was
treated
in
the
UK,
she
would
probably
survive.
But
I'm
poor,
so
can
you
please
help
me?"
???
Speechless,
I
stared
at
the
man's
eyes
full
of
tears
and
asked
how
I
could
help.
After
we
talked
for
a
while,
I
went
to
sit
back
at
the
table.
JoJo
asked
me,
"What's
wrong
with
you?
Your
face
changed."
I
told
him.
JoJo
was
very
sorry
for
this
family
and
said
I
had
the
means
through
the
media
to
help
him.
Later
we
headed
off
to
our
destinations.
???
All
weekend
I
thought
about
James,
his
daughter
and
his
family.
I
even
considered
doing
a
special
TV
show
to
raise
money
for
this
sick
child.
???
On
Monday
morning
I
was
at
the
office
after
I
finished
presenting
my
show,
when
my
secretary
said
a
man
needed
to
speak
to
me.
It
was
JoJo.
He
walked
into
my
office.
Actually
JoJo
is
so
busy
with
his
hotel
business
that
I
never
imagined
he
had
time
to
come
and
see
me
at
the
studios.
???
"Please,
call
the
man
with
the
sick
child
and
tell
him
that
I'll
pay
all
expenses
for
his
sick
daughter's
treatment,"
JoJo
said,
with
a
check
in
his
hand.
"I've
been
married
for
35
years.
I
wasn't
lucky
enough
to
have
a
child.
I
want
to
help
this
child
now."
I
picked
up
the
phone
to
call
James.
???
Now
James'
daughter
is
well
and
living
a
normal
life.
JoJo
often
visits
her.
I'm
so
happy
that
there
are
so
many
good
people
on
earth.

What
do
Tom
Sawyer
and
jumping
frogs
have
in
common?
Stories
about
both
of
them
were
created
by
one
man
:
Mark
Twain.
Twain
was
four
years
old
when
his
family
moved
to
Hannitel,
Missouri,
located
on
the
west
bank
of
the
Mississippi.
Twain
grew
up
there
and
was
fascinated
with
life
along
the
river
the
steamboats,
the
giant
lumber(木头)
rafts,
and
the
people
who
worked
on
them.
???
The
Celebrated
Jumping
Frog
of
Calaveras
County
is
one
of
Twain's
best
loved
short
stories,
and
The
Adventures
of
Tom
Sawyer
is
one
of
his
most
famous
novels.
Both
these
works
are
celebrated
by
events
held
during
National
Tom
Sawyer
Days,
which
originated
in
the
late
1950s
and
became
national
in
the
1960s.
Children
enter
their
frogs
in
the
jumping
contest
during
National
Tom
Sawyer
Days.
There’s
also
a
fence
painting
contest
to
see
who
can
paint
the
fastest.
The
idea
for
this
contest
comes
from
a
scene
in
The
Adventures
of
Tom
Sawyer,
in
which
Tom
has
been
told
to
paint
the
fence
in
front
of
the
house
he
lives
in.
It's
a
beautiful
day,
and
he
would
rather
be
doing
anything
else.
As
his
friends
walk
by,
he
makes
them
believe
that
it’s
fun
to
pain’t,and
they
join
in
the
“fun”.
By
the
end
of
the
day,the
fence
has
three
coats
of
paint!
???
Although
the
story
of
Tom
Sawyer
is
fiction,it's
based
on
facts.
If
you
go
to
Hannibal,
you’ll
see
the
white
fence,
which
still
stands
at
Twains
boyhood
home.

七选五
Imagine
a
child
standing
on
a
diving
board
four
feet
high
and
asking
himself
the
question:
"Should
I
jump?"
This
is
what
motivation
or
the
lack
of
it
can
do.
Motivation
and
goal
setting
are
the
two
sides
of
the
same
coin.
①_____?Like
the
child
on
the
diving
board,
you
will
stay
undecided.
???
②_____?More
than
that,
how
should
you
stay
motivated
to
achieve
the
goal?
First,
you
need
to
evaluate
yourself,
your
values,
your
strengths,
your
weaknesses,
your
achievements,
your
desires,
etc.
Only
then
should
you
set
your
goals.
???
You
also
need
to
judge
the
quality
and
depth
of
your
motivation.
This
is
quite
important,
because
it
is
directly
related
to
your
commitment.
There
are
times
when
your
heart
is
not
in
your
work.
③_____?So,
slow
down
and
think
what
you
really
want
to
do
at
that
moment.
Clarity(清晰)
of
thoughts
can
help
you
move
forward.
???
Another
way
of
setting
realistic
goals
is
to
analyze
your
short
and
long
term
objectives,
keeping
in
mind
your
beliefs,
values
and
strengths.
Remember
that
goals
are
flexible.
④_____?They
also
need
to
be
measurable.
You
must
keep
these
points
in
mind
while
setting
your
goals.
???
Your
personal
circumstances
are
equally
important.
For
example,
you
may
want
to
be
a
pilot
but
can't
become
one
because
your
eyesight
is
not
good
enough.
⑤_____?You
should
reassess
your
goals,
and
motivate
yourself
to
set
a
fresh
goal.
???
You
will
surely
need
to
overcome
some
difficulties,
some
planned,
but
most
unplanned.
You
cannot
overcome
them
without
ample
motivation.
Make
sure
that
you
plan
for
these
difficulties
at
the
time
of
setting
your
goals.
A.This
can
affect
your
work.
B.So
how
should
you
motivate
yourself?
C.However,
this
should
not
discourage
you.
D.So
why
should
we
try
to
set
specific
goals?
E.They
can
change
according
to
circumstances.
F.Motivation
is
what
you
need
most
to
do
a
good
job.
G.Without
motivation,
you
can
neither
set
a
goal
nor
reach
it.

第二节
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150
左右。
???
The
eight-year-old
Carol
lived
with
her
father
David,
mother
May
and
elder
brother
Rob.
The
little
family
happily
lived
in
a
beautiful
village
surrounded
with
beautiful
nature.
The
village
was
at
the
foot
of
a
mountain,
with
beautiful
views
of
the
snowy
mountain.
The
family
survived
on
growing
seasonal
plants
and
trees.
Their
life
was
totally
surrounded
by
nature
and
beauty.
???
While
they
lived
a
very
happy
life,
Carol
did
not
love
the
beautiful
atmosphere
of
the
village.
She
really
wanted
to
move
into
the
city
and
enjoy
the
city
life.
She
wanted
to
shop,
move
around
the
city,
watch
movies,
and
eat
in
fantastic
restaurants
and
cafes,
etc.
???
However,
there
was
hardly
any
chance
for
Carol's
family
to
move
to
the
city
as
they
had
everything
in
the
village.
???
One
day,
Carol
fell
asleep
during
the
early
noon
and
she
had
a
sound
sleep.
Of
course,
she
had
a
strange
dream.
She
saw
her
grandmother
in
her
dream
as
a
fairy
and
her
deceased
grandmother
granted
her
a
wish.
Carol
requested
her
that
she
should
love
to
enjoy
the
city
life
as
she
always
desired.
????
Grandmother
understood
the
desire
of
Carol,
but
still
wanted
to
convince
her
that
the
peaceful
village
life
was
better
than
the
city
life.
???
She
told
Carol,
"Baby,
you
cannot
have
access
to
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
from
plants
as
you
have
at
your
home.
You
cannot
breathe
fresh
air.
You
cannot
play
with
animals.
You
can
hardly
find
any
trees.
You
will
not
find
peace
as
you
see
here!
Do
you
still
want
to
go
to
the
city?"
???
Without
hearing
the
concerns,
Carol
asked
her
grandmother
to
grant
the
wish.
Grandmother
granted
her
the
wish,
but
with
a
condition.
Carol
was
told
that
she
would
only
have
6
hours
to
spend
in
the
city.
Later,
she
would
return
to
the
village.
Carol
agreed.

答案以及解析
A
答案：(1)-(3)BBD
解析：(1).细节理解题。根据第一段第四、五句So,
with
the
"strike",
he
returned
home.
And
with
the
help
of
Darby,
he
borrowed
a
lot
of
money.(所以,带着“金矿的意外发现”,他回家了。在
Darby的帮助下,他借到了很多钱。)可知,
Darby的叔叔回到家寻求财务支援。
(2).推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“
I
stopped
three
feet
from
gold,
but
I
will
never
stop
because
men
say
'no'
when
I
ask
them
to
buy
insurance.(我在离黄金三英尺的地方停了下来,但我不会因为当我让人们买保险时他们说“不”就停下来。)和最后一段第一句
Darby
sold
more
than
a
million
dollars
in
life
insurance
annually(
Darby每年卖出100多万美元的人寿保险。)可知,
Darby从失败中挖掘出了他人生的金子。
(3).推理判断题。根据最后一段
He
owes
his
"stick-
ability"
to
the
lesson
he
learned
from
his
"quit-ability"
in
the
gold
mining
business.(他把他的“坚持能力”归功于他从金矿行业的“退出能力”中学到的教训。)可知,作者想告诉我们,除非我们坚持下去,否则我们无法实现我们的目标。
B
答案：(1)-(4)CDBA
解析：(1).推理判断题。根据第一段中的
I'm
not
thinking
the
way
I
used
to
think.
I
can
feel
it
most
strongly
when
I'm
reading
Involving
myself
in
a
book
or
a
lengthy(冗长的)
article
used
to
be
easy.
That's
rarely
the
case
anymore.(我不像以前那样思考了,当我阅读的时候,我能最强烈地感受到。过去,让自己沉浸在一本书或一篇长篇文章中很容易。现在这种情况已经很少见了。)
可以推断出,
作者认为曾经深入的阅读已经成为种挣扎。
(2).推理判断题。根据倒数第二段
I'm
not
the
only
one.
When
I
mention
my
troubles
with
reading
to
acquaintances,
Bruce
Friedman,
a
blogger,
also
has
described
how
the
Internet
has
changed
his
mental
habits.
His
thinking
has
taken
on
a
"staccato(不连贯的)"quality.
"I
can't
read
War
and
Peace
anymore,"
he
admitted.
"I've
lost
the
ability
to
do
that."(我不是唯一一个。当我向熟人提及我在阅读方面的困难时,博主
Bruce
Friedman也描述了互联网如何改变了他的思考习惯。他的思想已经具有一种“不连贯的”性质。“我再也看不懂《战争与和平》了,”他承认,“我已经失去了阅读的能力。)”可以推断出作者对网络持明显的担心态度。
(3).推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的
And
what
the
Net
seems
to
be
doing
is
weakening
my
ability
for
concentration.
(网络似乎正在削弱我集中注意力的能力。)可以推断出人们越多地使用网络,他们就越需要努力保持专注。
(4).主旨大意题。这篇文章主要讲了作者经常上网,慢慢感觉到曾经自然深入的阅读已经成为一种挣扎,越多地使用网络,就越需要努力保持专注。所以A选项“网络正在逐渐改变我们吗?”最能准确概括文章大意。
C
答案：(1)-(4)CDCB
解析：(1).细节理解题。由第一段中的“
On
arriving
at
the
beach,
I
saw
JoJo,
a
wealthy
man
in
the
hotel
business.”可知,作者到达海滩时,偶遇了富商JoJo。
(2).推理判断题。由第六段中的“
Actually
JoJo
is
so
busy
with
his
hotel
business
that
I
never
imagined
he
had
time
to
come
and
see
me
at
the
studios.”可知,实际上,JoJo忙于他的酒店生意,作者从没想到他有时间来办公室拜访他。所以作者认为JoJo来到他的办公室令他很惊讶。
(3).推理判断题。由第七段中的“
I've
been
married
for
35
years.
I
wasn't
lucky
enough
to
have
a
child.
I
want
to
help
this
child
now.”可知,JoJo结婚已经35年了,还没有孩子。他很想帮助这个孩子。所以通过JoJo所说的话我们可以判断出,
JoJo之所以下决心帮助
James是出于对孩子的爱。
(4).主旨大意题。通读全文可知,作者是一名电视节目主持人,与孩子在海边吃饭时偶遇富商JoJo,交谈之时,被一个陌生人打断了他们的谈话。这个陌生人向作者寻求帮助,他的女儿患上了重病,急需钱去海外救治。作者将这件事告诉了JoJo。在一个周一的早上,JoJo找到作者,希望可以联系那个陌生人,因为JoJo愿意帮助这个陌生人。现在这个女孩过上了正常人的生活,JoJo经常去看望她。所以这篇短文的主旨是到处都是善良的人。
D
答案：1.B;
2.B;
3.D;
4.A
解析：1.细节理解题。从第一段第四句“Twain
grew
up
there
and
was
fascinated
with
life
along
the
river...”可知B项正确。
2.推理判断题。第二段说全国汤姆·索亚日期间会举办不同的活动,旨在颂扬两部作品,由此推断这个节日是为纪念这两部作品的作者马克?吐温创立的。
3.推理判断题。由第二段中“There’s
also
a
fence
painting
contest
to
see
who
can
paint
the
fastest."可推知能在最短的时间内漆完篱笆的人将获胜,故选D项。
4.推理判断题。至今仍伫立在马克?吐温孩童时期的家外的那片白色篱笆能够说明末段首句的结论:Although
the
story
of
Tom
Sawyer
is
fiction,
it’s
based
on
facts.由上—段内容可知《汤姆?索亚历险记》中有与此相关的情节,故选A。
七选五
答案：①-⑤
GBAEC
解析：①过渡句。句意:
若没有动机,
你既不能设定目标,
也不能达成目标。由设空处上句话Motivation
and
goal
setting
are
the
two
sides
of
the
same
coin.(动机和目标的设定是一件事情的两个方面。)
可知,
动机是很重要的。根据设空处下句Like
the
child
on
the
diving
board,
you
will
stay
undecided.
可知,
中间需要加一个表示转折的句子:
若没有动机……。故选G。
②主旨句。句意:
那么,
你应该如何激励自己呢?
该题中,
设空处位于文章第二段开头,
可能会是该段的主旨句。设空处后面的how
should
you
stay
motivated
to
achieve
the
goal也是引出该段话题或是对主旨句的进一步说明。另根据句子结构一致的原则,
可找到与此问句结构一致的选项B:
So
how
should
you
motivate
yourself?
故选B。
③过渡句。句意:
这可能会影响你的工作。根据设空处前面的句子There
are
times
when
your
heart
is
not
in
your
work.
(有时你的心会不在你的工作上。)
可知,
接下来会说这样做的后果(影响你的工作)。设空处后面介绍正确的做法。故选A。
④细节句。句意:
它们可以根据情况来改变。设空处前面的句子提到Remember
that
goals
are
flexible.(要记得目标是灵活的。),
接下来可能会接着解释它们会改变。选项E中的They与上句话中的goals指代一致。故选E。
⑤过渡句。句意:
然而,
这不应该使你泄气。由设空处上句话中的you
may
want
to
be
a
pilot
but
can't
become
one
because
your
eyesight
is
not
good
enough(你可能想成为一名飞行员,
但因为你的视力不够好而不能成为一名飞行员)
可知,
接下来会告诉我们解决这个问题的办法。根据设空处下句话中的You
should
reassess
your
goals(你应该重新评估你的目标)
可知,
选C项。
完形填空

解析：(1).根据本空前的“
Ten
years
ago,
my
mom
gave
me
a
fancy
blood
pressure
monitor...
I
had
high
blood
pressure
and
she
wanted
to
make
sure
I
was
always”可知,我有高血压,妈妈送我血压器是让我总是了解血压的动态。
keep
track
of了解......的动态。
(2).根据句意可知,在我二十岁出头的年纪,这种情况本应该使我震惊。
interest使感兴趣;
shock使震惊;
relieve减轻;
encourage鼓励。
(3).根据本空后的“
from
nameless
anxiety
and
stress”可知,我长期遭受不可名状的焦虑和压力。
(4).根据本空后的“
my
blood
pressure
could
finally
be
controlled”可知,经过十年的努力(
struggle),我的血压终于得到了控制。
analysis分析;
search搜寻;
summary总结。
(5).根据本空前的“
Through
lots
of
meditation(冥想),
exercise,
and
diets,”可知,在过去几年里,通过冥想、锻炼和饮食,我慢慢从这种状态中恢复(
recovered)过来。
(6).根据后文的“
she
wanted
to
buy
it
shortly
after
I
posted
it”
可知我决定把它放到网上出售(sale)。
(7).根据本空后的“
saying
she
wanted
to
buy
it
shortly
after
I
posted
it”可知,在我发布出售信息后不久一位女士就回复(
responded)我说她想买。
(8).根据本空后“
from
her
wallet
to
pay
me”可知,她从钱包里拿出一些现金(cash)给我。
(9).frighten使害怕;
benefit使受益;hit使突然想起;
attack攻击。根据本空后的“
me
that
I
could
not
let
her
pay
me”可知,我突然觉得不能让她付我钱,故C项正确。
(10).on
hand现有,在手头;
on
duty值班;
on
leave休假中;on
guard站岗。根据本空后的“
in
my
wallet;
I
slipped
it
in
the
bag
and
told
her
‘Here,
just
take
it.’
”可知,我手头正好有张微笑卡在钱包里,我把它塞进包里,告诉她“就收下它吧。”,故A项正确。
(11).根据语境可知,我和她素不相识,却要将血压器白送给她,所以她感到很困惑(
confused)。
(12).根据语境可知,我的坚持让她很感动(
touched)。
(13).根据本空后的“
that
I
repaid
her
by
passing
on
her
14
to
someone
who
may
be
a
stranger
but
15
needed
it”可知,虽然我没有把妈妈买血压器的钱给妈妈,但是我非常高兴(
delighted)我以这样的方式回报了她—把她的礼物送给可能是陌生人但却真正需要它的人。
(14).根据上文可知,血压器是妈妈送给我的礼物(gift),故A项正确。
(15).此处表示我把她的礼物送给可能是陌生人但却真正(really)需要它的人。

The
Value
of
Money
A
Three
Feet
From
Gold
???
Darby's
uncle
was
caught
by
the
"gold
fever"
in
the
gold-rush
days,
and
went
west
to
dig
and
grow
rich.
After
months
of
labor,
he
was
rewarded
by
the
discovery
of
the
shining
ore
(矿石).
He
needed
machinery
to
bring
the
ore
to
the
surface.
So,
with
the
"strike",
he
returned
home.
And
with
the
help
of
Darby,
he
borrowed
a
lot
of
money.
After
buying
the
machinery
and
having
it
shipped,
Uncle
and
Darby
went
back
to
dig
the
mine.
???
The
first
car
of
ore
was
mined.
And
the
returns
proved
they
had
one
of
the
richest
mines
in
Colorado!
Down
went
the
drills!
Up
went
the
hopes
of
Uncle
and
Darby!
???
Then
something
happened!
The
vein
(矿脉)of
gold
ore
disappeared!
They
drilled
on,
but
all
in
vain.
Finally,
they
decided
to
quit
and
sold
the
machinery
to
a
junkman
for
a
few
hundred
dollars.
The
junkman
called
in
a
mining
engineer
to
look
at
the
mine
and
do
a
little
calculation.
The
engineer's
calculation
showed
that
the
vein
would
be
found
just
three
feet
from
where
the
Darbys
had
stopped
drilling!
The
junkman
took
millions
of
dollars
in
the
vein,
because
he
knew
enough
to
seek
experts'
advice
before
giving
up.
???
Most
of
the
money
which
went
into
the
machinery
was
borrowed
through
the
efforts
of
Darby,
who
was
then
a
very
young
man.
The
money
came
from
his
relatives
because
of
their
faith
in
him.
He
paid
back
every
dollar
of
it,
although
it
took
years
to
do
so.
???
Long
afterwards,
Mr.
Darby
made
another
discovery
in
which
desire
can
be
changed
into
gold.
This
discovery
came
after
he
went
into
the
business
of
selling
life
insurance.
Remembering
that
he
lost
a
huge
fortune,

Over
the
past
few
years
I've
had
an
uncomfortable
sense
that
someone,
or
something,
has
been
making
changes
to
my
brain.
I'm
not
thinking
the
way
I
used
to
think.
I
can
feel
it
most
strongly
when
I'm
reading.
Involving
myself
in
a
book
or
a
lengthy(冗长的)article
used
to
be
easy.
That's
rarely
the
case
anymore.
???
I
think
I
know
what's
going
on.
For
over
a
decade,
I've
been
spending
lots
of
time
online.
The
Web
has
been
a
godsend
to
me
as
a
writer.
Research
that
once
required
days
in
the
rooms
of
libraries
can
now
be
done
in
minutes
by
a
few
Google
searches.
Even
when
I'm
not
working,
I'm
scanning
headlines
or
just
tripping
from
link
to
link.
???
The
Net
is
becoming
a
universal
medium
where
information
flows
through
my
eyes
and
ears
and
into
mind.
The
perfect
recall
of
silicon
memory
(硅制存储器)can
be
a
blessing
to
thinking.
But
that
comes
at
a
price.
As
the
media
theorist
Marshall
Mcluhan
pointed
out,
media
are
not
just
passive
channels
of
information.
They
supply
the
staff
of
thought,
but
they
also
shape
the
process
of
thought.
And
what
the
Net
seems
to
be
doing
is
weakening
my
ability
for
concentration.
Once
I
was
a
driver
in
the
sea
of
words.
Now
I
zip
along
the
surface
like
a
flying
swallow.
???
I'm
not
the
only
one.
When
I
mention
my
troubles
with
reading
to
acquaintances,
Bruce
Friedman,
a
blogger,
also
has
described
how
the
Internet
has
changed
his
mental
habits.
His
thinking
has
taken
on
a
"staccato
(不连贯的)"
quality.
"I
can't
read
War
and
Peace
anymore,"
he
admitted.
"I've
lost
the
ability
to
do
that."
???
A
recently
published
study
suggests
that
when
reading
online,
we
tend
to
become
"more
decoders
(解码器)of
information.
We
are
not
only
what
we
read;
we
are
how
we
read.

B.he

C.the
deep
reading
in
the
past
has
become
a

D.other

around

2.What
is
the
author's
attitude
towards
the
Internet?
A.Thoroughly
passive.
B.Totally

C.Gladly

D.Evidently

3.From

.
A.the

B.the

I'm
a
TV
show
host.
One
Sunday,
I
took
my
7-year-old
daughter
by
the
sea
for
lunch.
On
arriving
at
the
beach,
I
saw
JoJo,
a
wealthy
man
in
the
hotel
business.
We
sat
down
to
chat
in
an
open
air
cafe.
???
Suddenly
our
conversation
was
interrupted
(中断)by
a
stranger,
who
politely
asked
permission(容许)to
speak
to
me.
Often
people
want
to
tell
me
something
about
my
controversial
(有争议的)TV
show,
when
I'm
out
on
the
streets.
???
He
asked
to
speak
to
me
privately,
so
we
stood
a
bit
away
from
my
table.
He
said,
"I'm
James,
35
years
old,
father
of
a
7-year-old
girl,
who's
very
sick.
She
needs
treatment
abroad.
The
doctors
said
that
if
she
was
treated
in
the
UK,
she
would
probably
survive.
But
I'm
poor,
so
can
you
please
help
me?"
???
Speechless,
I
stared
at
the
man's
eyes
full
of
tears
and
asked
how
I
could
help.
After
we
talked
for
a
while,
I
went
to
sit
back
at
the
table.
JoJo
asked
me,
"What's
wrong
with
you?
Your
face
changed."
I
told
him.
JoJo
was
very
sorry
for
this
family
and
said
I
had
the
means
through
the
media
to
help
him.
Later
we
headed
off
to
our
destinations.
???
All
weekend
I
thought
about
James,
his
daughter
and
his
family.
I
even
considered
doing
a
special
TV
show
to
raise
money
for
this
sick
child.
???
On
Monday
morning
I
was
at
the
office
after
I
finished
presenting
my
show,
when
my
secretary
said
a
man
needed
to
speak
to
me.
It
was
JoJo.
He
walked
into
my
office.
Actually
JoJo
is
so
busy
with
his
hotel
business
that
I
never
imagined
he
had
time
to
come
and
see
me
at
the
studios.
???
"Please,
call
the
man
with
the
sick
child
and
tell
him
that
I'll
pay
all
expenses
for
his
sick
daughter's
treatment,"
JoJo
said,
with
a
check
in
his
hand.
"I've
been
married
for
35
years.
I
wasn't
lucky
enough
to
have
a
child.
I
want
to
help
this
child
now."
I
picked
up
the
phone
to
call
James.
???
Now
James'
daughter
is
well
and
living
a
normal
life.
JoJo
often
visits
her.
I'm
so
happy
that
there
are
so
many
good
people
on
earth.

What
do
Tom
Sawyer
and
jumping
frogs
have
in
common?
Stories
about
both
of
them
were
created
by
one
man
:
Mark
Twain.
Twain
was
four
years
old
when
his
family
moved
to
Hannitel,
Missouri,
located
on
the
west
bank
of
the
Mississippi.
Twain
grew
up
there
and
was
fascinated
with
life
along
the
river
the
steamboats,
the
giant
lumber(木头)
rafts,
and
the
people
who
worked
on
them.
???
The
Celebrated
Jumping
Frog
of
Calaveras
County
is
one
of
Twain's
best
loved
short
stories,
and
The
Adventures
of
Tom
Sawyer
is
one
of
his
most
famous
novels.
Both
these
works
are
celebrated
by
events
held
during
National
Tom
Sawyer
Days,
which
originated
in
the
late
1950s
and
became
national
in
the
1960s.
Children
enter
their
frogs
in
the
jumping
contest
during
National
Tom
Sawyer
Days.
There’s
also
a
fence
painting
contest
to
see
who
can
paint
the
fastest.
The
idea
for
this
contest
comes
from
a
scene
in
The
Adventures
of
Tom
Sawyer,
in
which
Tom
has
been
told
to
paint
the
fence
in
front
of
the
house
he
lives
in.
It's
a
beautiful
day,
and
he
would
rather
be
doing
anything
else.
As
his
friends
walk
by,
he
makes
them
believe
that
it’s
fun
to
pain’t,and
they
join
in
the
“fun”.
By
the
end
of
the
day,the
fence
has
three
coats
of
paint!
???
Although
the
story
of
Tom
Sawyer
is
fiction,it's
based
on
facts.
If
you
go
to
Hannibal,
you’ll
see
the
white
fence,
which
still
stands
at
Twains
boyhood
home.
1.Which

Mark
Twain
is

was
born
in
Hannibal.
B.He
enjoyed
his
life
in
Hannibal.
C.He
spent
most
of
his
childhood
on
the
Mississippi.
D.He
often
went
rafting(坐船漂流)
on
the
Mississippi
with
his
parents.
2.Tom
Sawyer
Days
were
created
________.
A.about
forty
years
ago
B.in
memory
of
a
great
writer
C.shortly
after
Twain's

most
carefully.
C.Jim,
painting
in
the
newest
way.
D.John,painting
in

shortest
time.
4.From
the
white
fence
at
Twain's
boyhood
home,
we
know
that?__________.
A.the
story
of
Tom
Sawyer
is
based
partly
on
Twain's
experiences
B.the
story
of
Tom
Sawyer
is
based
totally
on
Twain's
imagination
C.Twain’s
old
house

competitors
D.Twain's
old

七选五
Imagine
a
child
standing
on
a
diving
board
four
feet
high
and
asking
himself
the
question:
"Should
I
jump?"
This
is
what
motivation
or
the
lack
of
it
can
do.
Motivation
and
goal
setting
are
the
two
sides
of
the
same
coin.
①_____?Like
the
child
on
the
diving
board,
you
will
stay
undecided.
???
②_____?More
than
that,
how
should
you
stay
motivated
to
achieve
the
goal?
First,
you
need
to
evaluate
yourself,
your
values,
your
strengths,
your
weaknesses,
your
achievements,
your
desires,
etc.
Only
then
should
you
set
your
goals.
???
You
also
need
to
judge
the
quality
and
depth
of
your
motivation.
This
is
quite
important,
because
it
is
directly
related
to
your
commitment.
There
are
times
when
your
heart
is
not
in
your
work.
③_____?So,
slow
down
and
think
what
you
really
want
to
do
at
that
moment.
Clarity(清晰)
of
thoughts
can
help
you
move
forward.
???
Another
way
of
setting
realistic
goals
is
to
analyze
your
short
and
long
term
objectives,
keeping
in
mind
your
beliefs,
values
and
strengths.
Remember
that
goals
are
flexible.
④_____?They
also
need
to
be
measurable.
You
must
keep
these
points
in
mind
while
setting
your
goals.
???
Your
personal
circumstances
are
equally
important.
For
example,
you
may
want
to
be
a
pilot
but
can't
become
one
because
your
eyesight
is
not
good
enough.
⑤_____?You
should
reassess
your
goals,
and
motivate
yourself
to
set
a
fresh
goal.
???
You
will
surely
need
to
overcome
some
difficulties,
some
planned,
but
most
unplanned.
You
cannot
overcome
them
without
ample
motivation.
Make
sure
that
you
plan
for
these
difficulties
at
the
time
of
setting
your
goals.
A.This
can
affect
your
work.
B.So
how
should
you
motivate
yourself?
C.However,
this
should
not
discourage
you.
D.So
why
should
we
try
to
set
specific
goals?
E.They
can
change
according
to
circumstances.
F.Motivation
is
what
you
need
most
to
do
a
good
job.
G.Without
motivation,
you
can
neither
set
a
goal
nor
reach
it.

???
The
eight-year-old
Carol
lived
with
her
father
David,
mother
May
and
elder
brother
Rob.
The
little
family
happily
lived
in
a
beautiful
village
surrounded
with
beautiful
nature.
The
village
was
at
the
foot
of
a
mountain,
with
beautiful
views
of
the
snowy
mountain.
The
family
survived
on
growing
seasonal
plants
and
trees.
Their
life
was
totally
surrounded
by
nature
and
beauty.
???
While
they
lived
a
very
happy
life,
Carol
did
not
love
the
beautiful
atmosphere
of
the
village.
She
really
wanted
to
move
into
the
city
and
enjoy
the
city
life.
She
wanted
to
shop,
move
around
the
city,
watch
movies,
and
eat
in
fantastic
restaurants
and
cafes,
etc.
???
However,
there
was
hardly
any
chance
for
Carol's
family
to
move
to
the
city
as
they
had
everything
in
the
village.
???
One
day,
Carol
fell
asleep
during
the
early
noon
and
she
had
a
sound
sleep.
Of
course,
she
had
a
strange
dream.
She
saw
her
grandmother
in
her
dream
as
a
fairy
and
her
deceased
grandmother
granted
her
a
wish.
Carol
requested
her
that
she
should
love
to
enjoy
the
city
life
as
she
always
desired.
????
Grandmother
understood
the
desire
of
Carol,
but
still
wanted
to
convince
her
that
the
peaceful
village
life
was
better
than
the
city
life.
???
She
told
Carol,
"Baby,
you
cannot
have
access
to
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
from
plants
as
you
have
at
your
home.
You
cannot
breathe
fresh
air.
You
cannot
play
with
animals.
You
can
hardly
find
any
trees.
You
will
not
find
peace
as
you
see
here!
Do
you
still
want
to
go
to
the
city?"
???
Without
hearing
the
concerns,
Carol
asked
her
grandmother
to
grant
the
wish.
Grandmother
granted
her
the
wish,
but
with
a
condition.
Carol
was
told
that
she
would
only
have
6
hours
to
spend
in
the
city.
Later,
she
would
return
to
the
village.
Carol
agreed.
