Its not my dads fault-he tried to teach me, and I remember cycling around the nearby housing village. One of my earliest memories is falling over the handlebars of my tricycle(三轮脚踏车) into a big piece of forests. I really didnt want to repeat that.So I stopped learning. My dad wasnt going to waste his time teaching someone who didnt want to be taught. Time passed and I accepted that I couldnt ride a bike. It never impacted my life in high school because I lived close enough to walk.I never felt like I was miss out until I couldnt go on a bike ride with friends in Byron Bay because I was confident that I could go on a flat surface in a straight line. So when the chance came up to bike on the wall of Xian, I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it and make up my side, I got on the bike. But I didnt know how to start. To push off with one foot hard was my instruction. It sounded simple enough but just was off, going in a straight line on a flat surface and managing to avoid the Chinese tourists who found my excitement funny.When I was at the age of 22, I finally learnt how to ride a bike, and I thought nothing can hold me back.4According to the passage, how did British children learn to ride their bikes?A.By teaching themselves.B.By depending on their parents.C.By asking their friends for help.D.By relying on their dads.5Why didnt the author want to repeat one of his bike-learning experiences?A.Because he was mistaken.

We are going to guess that they are probably not painted bright red or yellow. But maybe they should be. Imagine. You are suddenly asked to prepare for an exam. You have two rooms to choose from. One is a pale blue, and the other is a bright red. Which one do you settle into for study? Is one going to get your brain fired up for learning, or let you relax into the best state of concentration?According to researchers at Curtin University in Australia, it might be best to camp out in the bright red room when you are looking to store information. It might sound strange, since we often think of pale rooms-soft blues or light-greens-are relaxing. And they seem to be: The Curtin University study showed that pale colors made participants feel more relaxed and calm, while bright colors increased heart rate. But calming and relaxing, it turns out, may not always be the best environment for deep concentration or knowledge gaining. Reading comprehension was much better in the bright rooms than in the pale rooms. Although participants reported that they generally preferred the pale rooms to study in as an approach to relax into work, the researchers saw just the opposite-that the bright-colored rooms seemed to lead to greater concentration.While this might seem only surprising, the findings get into a rather controversial (有争议的) area of psychological study. The Yerkes-Dodson Law says that a little bit of stress is good for achieving best performance, while too much stress negatively affects it. The higher heart rate and the reports of the bright colors creating a heavy atmosphere might just suggest that a little stress was good for the brain.8What is the common idea mentioned in the first paragraph?A.Pale colors appeal to all tastes. B.Few people like bright red or yellow.C.Light-colored rooms make you feel nervous. D.Bright-colored rooms are not good for studying.9What might directly affect the research results according to Paragraph 2?A.How participants react to colors.B.Participants preferences in colors.C.What participants read in the rooms.D.Time participants spent in the rooms.10What can be concluded from the study by Curtin University?A.Higher stress leads to better performance.B.Most people know how to make use of colors.C.Stress is necessary when you want to concentrate.D.Being relaxed is very important for people studying.11Whats the main idea of the text?A.Findings about peoples favourite room colors.B.Room colors can affect ones academic performance.C.Bright-colored rooms can create a heavy atmosphere.D.Light-colored rooms help people feel relaxed into work.D When we think of leadership, we often think of strength and power. But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is short-term, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they may do it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the work day; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they became fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation (积极性). Todays work place is all about relationships. Anyone works harder in a positive environment in which theyre recognized and valued as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the pay check is not the single most motivating factor (因素) in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence(情商)-knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.12The underlined phrase “shooting oneself in the foot” means _ in this passage.A.throw or walk in a specific direction or towards a specific objectiveB.to grow forth from the groundC.to move or pass suddenly or swiftlyD.to injure or harm ones own interests13.People may NOT be working hard when_.A. money is taken as the most important B. they like their leadersC. theyre regarded as human beings D. leaders understand the way things work14. From the passage, we can conclude that_is the key to making a good leader.A. developing ones emotional intelligence B. influencing others in ones own way C. producing some unexpected results D. having confidence in ones ability 15. This passage is most helpful to those who_. A. have strength and power B. are going to make a speech C. are to be excellent employees D.would like to be leaders 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Parents are the most important people in our lifeThey influence our lives in so many ways 16 They make us who we areSo all we can do for them is to do something in return for their love.
