Visit industrial fairs.During my years teaching communication courses at East Carolina University and College of Charleston, I got to hear many incredible true-life stories through students, presentations. Stories that stick out in my mind include a young man's sharing his experience of being falsely diagnosed with a fatal illness, another who failed repeatedly to try out for the baseball team before getting into a game he enjoys much more - golf, and so on. So many unforgettable stories; so much wisdom.But one story really stands out in my mind to illustrate our incredible power. Here*s what happened to this young girl, Suzy.One Christmas Suzy had her heart set on getting a new Barbie. But not just any Barbie, it was one where she could cut her hair. At least the doll came with scissors. It was the last gift that little seven-year-old Suzy opened, and she felt pure delight. Barbie's hair went from hip length, to waist length, to long layers to irregular, to shoulder length, to pixie （小精灵） short. finally ending with a total buzz cut （圆寸）.Everything's ready and the logical thing to do next was of course for Suzy to cut her own hair. She cut layers and more layers and couldn't wait to show her parents and class.Little Suzy had a hard time understanding why her mother wanted to take her to a beauty salon to "fix" her hair style. But Suzy firmly believed everyone at school would be so envious of her design concept and skill. Her friends would turn green with envy. Absolutely, hercomplete and unquestioned confidence in her appearance caused other people to see her beauty.That story was told 12 years after the fact and Suzy still has pictures of that haircut. She would never cut her hair again, but she cherishes that memory of boundless self-value.Confidence is like a muscle that you exercise. You decide to be more confident, to choose the positive performance, to take care of yourself, and the feeling of confidence comes to you after that. We all have had that level of confidence at times, but where is it when you need it?4. What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To introduce the author's background.B.To tell some incredible stories.C.To summarize the main idea of the article.D.To pave the way for the following.5.A.she will make a comparisonB.she would like to practice hair cuttingC.she feel like showing off her collection D.she wants to give her classmates aThe reason why Suzy wants the Barbie is thatsurprise6. Which of the following words best describes Suzy?A. Determined. B. Absurd.7. What is the best title for the passage?A. Lifelong WisdomC. Unforgettable StoriesC. Sympathetic. D. Aggressive.B. Confident ScissorsD. Barbie's EncouragementWith a few minor exceptions, there are really only two ways to say "tea" in the world. One is like the English term-te in Spanish and tee in Afrikaans are two examples. The other is some variation of cha, like chay in Hindi.Both forms come from China. How they spread around the world offers a clear picture of how globalization worked. The words that sound like "cha" spread across land, along the Silk Road. The "tea”-like phrasings spread over water, by Dutch traders bringing the novel leaves back to Europe.The term cha is Sinitic （汉语语系），meaning it is common to many varieties of Chinese.It began in China and made its way through central Asia, eventually becoming “chay” in Persian. That is no doubt due to the trade routes of the Silk Road, along which, according to a Cha discovery, tea was traded over 2,000 years ago. The Japanese and Korean terms for teaare also based on the Chinese cha, though those languages likely adopted the word even before its westward spread into Persia.But that doesn't account for "tea." The Chinese character for tea, is pronounced differently by different varieties of Chinese, though it is written the same in them all. But in the Minnan variety of Chinese, spoken in the coastal province of Fujian, the character is pronounced “te”. The key word here is "coastal.”The "te" form used in coastal-Chinese languages spread to Europe via the Dutch, who became the primary traders of tea between Europe and Asia in the 17th century. The main Dutch ports in east Asia were in Fujian and Taiwan, both places where people used the “te” pronunciation. The Dutch East India Company's expansive tea importation into Europe gave us the French ccthe, the German "Tee", and the English "tea”.Yet the Dutch were not the first to Asia. That honor belongs to the Portuguese. And thePortuguese traded not through Fujian but Macao, where "chA" is used. That's why Portugal is a pink dot in a sea of blue.8. Which statement about the term of "cha" is correct according to the passage?A. It is a variation of te in Spanish.B. It is used in coastal-Chinese languages.C. It is based on the Japanese and Korean terms for teaD. The spread of the version is an example of globalization.9. The "te" form spread to Europe by.A. the German B. the BritishC. the DutchD. the PortugueseHow does the author mainly develop the text?A. By giving examples.C. By drawing conclusions.11. Where is the passage probably from?A, A guide book. B. A novel.B , By rising questions.D. By presenting research findings.C , A magazine. D. A book review.Humans are not the only ones that like gold. Australian scientists have discovered a new fungus （真菌）that decorates its long, thread-like tendrils （卷须）with gold collected from the soil. The experts desperately hope the “gold digger” will provide information on the locations of gold deposits and make searching for the precious metal easier, and more environmentally friendly.The gold-loving fungus was discovered accidentally by a team of researchers led by Dr.Tsing Bohu, a scientist at Australia national science agency, CSIRO, when they were examining the microbes （微生物）in the soil at Boddington, a tiny town home to Australia's largest gold mine.A closer analysis suggested that the fungus uses chemical interactions with underground minerals to accumulate gold from its surroundings. Though fungi often interact with other things in nature, the reaction with gold was unexpected. Fungi are well-known for playing an important role in the recycling of organic material, such as leaves and bark, as well as for the cycling of other metals," Dr. Bohu explained. But gold is so chemically inactive that this interaction is both unusual and surprising.”The fungi are not wearing the gold fbr beauty. There is a biological benefit from this reaction.Dr. Bohu said, Gold-loving fungi can grow faster and bigger relative to other fungi that don't work with gold.”The researchers still need to conduct further analysis to understand the relationship between the fungi and the precious metal. More importantly, they need to determine if its presence is a sure sign of the existence of large deposits of the metal underground. The scientists also believe the fungi could be used to detect the presence of gold in waste products and man-made electronics.However, those hoping to get free gold from the fungi are in for a disappointment, for the delicate fungus is hard to see. Also, its gold can only be seen under a microscope.12. What do the experts hope for?A. Investigating the sites.B. Excavating the gold mines.C. Getting further informed.D. Unearthing gold deposits.13. What could be learned according to Dr. Bohu?A. Fungi's interaction with gold is unexpected but beneficial.B. Gold's classification is biologically identified by fungi.C. Fungi's formation with gold is fairly natural and frequent.D. Gold is chemically accumulated by ftmgi's evolution.14. How does the author find the finding?A. It excites the gold diggers' motivation.B. It has a long way to go before confirmation.C. It lays the foundation of geological studies.D. It ensures the search of gold sites.15. . What can be the suitable title for the text?A. Beauty-loving Fungi Wrapped by GoldGold-loving Fungi Discovered in AustraliaB. Boddington, Austria's Largest Gold MineNew Discovery of Gold with Fungi二、七选五How do you get yourself to take action now? Here are some powerful suggestions.Focus intensely on the positive things that your actions will accomplish. 16 Whether its something you're seeking to accomplish, or something you're seeking to be rid of. picture exactly how your life will be after the work is done. The more intensely you can imagine it, the better.17 The only real reason you have for avoiding action is because you associate some kind of pain or discomfort with it. Therefore, it helps to associate something even more painful with not taking action. Instead of focusing on the relatively minor pain of taking action, focus instead on the major pain of not taking action.18 Think of all the reasons you can come up with to not take action, and then destroy all those reasons with a single word 一"But." Simply state the excuse, put the word “but” after it, and then finish the sentence. For example, 'Tve never done this before, BUT I can learn.n Stick the word "but" in there, and challenge yourself to finish the sentence.Take the first small step. Don't even concern yourself with committing to the whole project or course of action. Just do something very easy and very small. The point is to find a little momentum（动力）19 Then climb aboard the momentum train, and let it help youkeep the effort going.Make it fun. Realize that just about anything can be fun if youll think of it as fun and enjoyable. Find a way to make something fun, and not only will you want to do it; you'll also be better at it. 20A. You always choose what to do,B , Lay all your excuses out on the table and deal with them.C. In your mind, picture in great detail what your actions will bring you.D. Whatever you must do to achieve success, find a way to enjoy it.E. Focus on the negative things that will happen if you don't take action.F. Getting started with your biggest task or most difficult action may seem too much.G. Once you take that small action, let yourself fully enjoy how great it feels.三、完形填空One evening, Catherine was at home as usual. As her 21 swung between what she was going to do with her life and their dinner plans for the evening, she was unexpectedly22 by an urgent call from her sister "Get over here!
