By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others - they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nations consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us - an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science. Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity ( 明星 ), who are legendary, who somehow mange to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? Thats hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death - such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana. 1.

A. just before her death B. when she became a princess C. when she was 19 D. after she gave birth to a prince 5. What is more likely to set an icons status? _D_ A. Good looks. B. The quality of ones story. C. Personal attraction D. Tragic and early death. 2. The residents of 24 Acacia Grove were dissatisfied with the condition of the property, so John Preston called a meeting to discuss things last week. At the meeting John suggested setting up a residents committee. Everyone was so worried and angry about the agent s inactivity that they agreed, and they elected John as chairman of the committee. Many residents said that they were tired of telephoning the agent and tired of complaining about the flats. Although the agent was responsible for the flats, they thought that he didn t do enough. Therefore John was asked to write to the agent and say that they were disappointed with the management of the flats. The next service payment was due at the end of the month.

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feeling must negatively affect people. A person s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives. Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism: they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one: “ You re just saying thatto make me feel good. I know it s not true.”It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths. Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life. 1. What does the author try to prove by citing “ what kind of impression am I making?” in Para.1?B A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance. B. Peoples shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions. C. Its natural that shy people dont believe other s compliments. 2. According to the writer, self-awareness is _C_. A. a weak pointy of shy people B. the cause of unhappiness C. harmful to people D. a good quality 3. That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is _C_. A. good B. unreal C. harmful D. very reasonable 4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A A. Shyness can block our chances for a rich life. C. Shyness helps us to develop our potential. D. Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-5. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people_DA. should find more of their weakness B. can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem C. had better ignore their weakness D. should understand themselves in the right way 4. How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really 精品资料 - - - 欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - 欢迎下载 名师归纳 - - - - - - - - - -第 4 页，共 15 页 - - - - - - - - - - know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar. 1. The origin of language is _D_. A. a legend handed down from the past B. a matter that is hidden or secret C. a question difficult to answer D. a problem not yet solved 2. What is true about words? C A. They are used to express feelings only. B. They can not be written down. C. They are simply sounds. D. They are mysterious. 3. The real power of words consists in their _D_. A. properties B. characteristics C. peculiarity D. representative function 4. By “association” in the last paragraph, the author means _B_. A. a special quality B. a joining of ideas in the mind C. an appearance which is puzzling D. a strange feature 5. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? A A. He is no more than a master of words. B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music. C. He can move men to tears. D. His style is always charming. 5、There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. 精品资料 - - - 欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - 欢迎下载 名师归纳 - - - - - - - - - -第 5 页，共 15 页 - - - - - - - - - - 1.
