We look at the past year and think about what we' d like to change or improve in our lives, and we call this a New Year' s resolutionThese can be anything from improving one' s health through exercise or cutting out bad habits, to studying harder for better grades or trying to find a good work/life balance Luckily, we don' t have to wait for the beginning of a new year to try and become better peopleWe can do this whenever we likeThe milestone of a new term is just a good place to start. Sometimes it' s difficult to take the first step in achieving newly set goals, but an old saying is "to begin is to be half-way there" I agree with this because taking on a new task or changing habits can seem daunting at first, but once we begin, they get easierFor example, spending less time on QQ or playing video games and more time studying or communicating face-to-face can be difficult habits to change at firstBut once we settle into the new routine and start to see the results, it' s difficult not to wonder why we didnt do it sooner. The trick with deciding on a resolution for a new term is not to set unrealistic targetsIf we do this, it's easy to lose motivation because the end goal seems so far away.Try to make many small targets you want to reach on the way to your ultimate goalThis way, you can see your progress easily46In Paragraph One, the author wants to tell us that spring is a time Ato take a walk around outdoors Bto set goals for a fresh beginning Cto enjoy fresh air and bright colors Dfor animals to have babies 47A New Year's resolution is Aa promise made to your parents Ba ceremony to celebrate New Year Ca decision made to improve ourselves Da recall of what happened last year48Which of the following might the author agree with according to Paragraph Four?

A changeable B difficult C lovely D confusing50What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph? AIf you see no progress, you'll be discouraged BWhatever happens, stick to your dreams CNever lose heart when meeting with difficulties DYour goals should be realistic and smallBBorn in Australia without arms or legs，30-year-old Nick Vujicic has become an international symbol of victoryHis lire has been filled with one hurdle after the nextBut you'll hear no self-pity from Vujicic，whose book，Unstoppable，was published last month“My limbless challenge remainsI cannot change that，”says Vujicic，who counts sky-diving and surfing among his hobbies“But what I can，and did change is my attitude”It is Vujicic's spirit that has made him a sell-out speaker, traveling the world to share his storyDescribing low points in his life，including a suicide attempt at age 10 and a failing business in his 20s，he says the “three F's” are what got him through：friends，family and faith“I can honestly say, the fear of being alone during the most difficult times in my life was worse than living without arms and legsHard times make you humble(卑微)You realize that you do need people to help you when you are not able to do it all yourself”A few years ago，confronted with file increasing business debt，Vujicic says he nearly gave up to self-destructive thoughtsBut he set small goals：Get out of bed，eat breakfast，leave the houseThose small successes built his confidence to move forward to the next level“There is nothing about failure that is easy,” he says“But it is also true that our failures in life teach us to embrace every small victorySuccess is that much sweeter when you have struggled to reach it”Family and friends are a safety net，including wife Kanae who is expecting their first child“My parents always taught me，You dont know what you are able to do until you try,” he recalls“The first time you fail at any thing is painfulBut you have a decision：Do you give up or do you try again?'51What does the text mainly talk about?

AOne is never too late to learn BOnes success depends on his parents COne should learn to give in when in trouble DOne should make every effort even if he failsCIts true that quite a few most respected scientific authorities have confirmed that the world is becoming hotter and hotter. Theres also strong evidence that humans are contributing to the warming. Countless recent reports have proved the same thing. For instance, a 2010 summary about the climate science by the Royal Society noted that: “The global warming over the last half-century has been caused mainly by human activity.”You may not believe that humans could change the planets climate, but the basic science is well understood. Each year, billions of tons of greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere because of human activity. As has been known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible (看不见的) blanket.Of course, the earths climate has always been changing due to “natural” factors such as volcanic eruption or changes in solar, or cycles concerning the Earths going around the sun. According to the scientific research, however, the warming observed by now matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere not the warming we would expect from other possible causes.Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming recorded so far, that would give birth to a difficult question. As Robert Henson puts it: “If some newly discovered factor is to blame for the climate change, then why arent carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming w
