2、o you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values.

3、person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by.

4、hrough your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy.

5、ity. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual patt

6、ern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate (沉思), or set a time limit before responding.

11、separate and different branches. There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which presents excellent productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. And there are townsfolk who largely live on the tourists who come, not to see the play, but to look at Anne Hathaways Cott

12、age, Shakespeares birthplace and the other sights.The townsfolk of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their income. They frankly dislike the RSC actors, those who walk with long hair and beard and great noise.The tourist streams are not entirely separate. The sightseers, who come by bu

13、s and often take in Warwick on the side, dont usually see the plays. And some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. However, the playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their play-going. It is the playgoers, the RSC declares, who bring in much of the towns income be

14、cause they spend the night (some of them four or five nights) pouring money into hotels and restaurants. The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.The townsfolk dont see it this way and local government does not put away some money for the RSC. Stratford cries poor tradi

15、tionally. Nevertheless, every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or a cocktail room. Hilton is building its own hotel there, which you will be sure will be decorated with Hamburger bars, dinner rooms ad so forth, and will be very expensive.Anyway, the townsfolk cant understand why the RSC n

16、eeds help from the government. The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year, its 1,431 seats were 94 percent occupied all year long and this year they will do better. The reason, of course, is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed the same. It would

17、be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratfords most attractive customers. They come entirely for the plays, not the sights. They all seem to look alike, though they come from all over.1. From the first two paragraphs, we learn that _.A. the townsf

18、olk think little of the RSCs contribution to the towns income B. the actors of RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stage C. the two branches of the RSC are not on good terms D. the townsfolk earn little from tourism 2. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _.A. the sightseers cannot visit

19、the castle and the palace separately B. the playgoers seem to spend more money than the sightseers C. the playgoers go to no other places in town than the theatre D. the sightseers do no other things than shopping in town 3. By saying “Stratford cries poor traditionally”, the author means that _.A.

20、Stratford has long been in financial difficultiesB. Stratford cannot afford the new projectsC. the town is not really short of moneyD. the townsfolk used to be poorly paid4. According to the townsfolk, the RSC deserves no help form the government because _.A. the behavior of the actors is not social

21、ly acceptableB. ticket prices can be raised to cover the spendingC. the company is financially ill-managedD. the theatre attendance is on the rise阅读理解练习（03）Its not a new phenomenon, but have you noticed how many nouns are being used as verbs? We all use them, often without noticing what were doing.I

22、 was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week, and I said “Ill pencil it in my diary”, and my friend said “You can ink it in”, meaning that it was a firm arrangement not a tentative one!Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology. An obvious example is the word fax, which is a shorten

23、ing of facsimile originally, an exact copy of a book or document. We all got used to sending and receiving faxes, and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising wed fax it immediately. So, nouns turn into verbs in two easy stages. Then along came email, and we were soon all email

24、ing each other madly. How did we do without it? I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails.Email reminds me, of course, of my computer and its software, which has produced another couple of new verbs. On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think Ill want to l

25、ook at again, thus saving all the effort of remembering their addresses and calling them up from scratch. I can do the same thing on my PC, but there I dont bookmark; I favorite coming from “favorite pages”, so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun. I wasnt really sure whether people said

26、 this, but someone told me recently that they had favorited a site I was looking for and so they could easily give me its address.In the late 1980s I noticed that lots of my friends had acquired pagers, and kept saying things like “Ill page you as soon as I know what time were meeting”. They couldnt

27、 say it to me, though; 1 refused to have one. So my children bought me a mobile phone, now known simply as a mobile and I had to learn yet more new verbs. I can message someone, that is, I can leave a message (either spoken or written) for them on their phone. Or I can text them, write a few words s

28、uggesting when and where to meet, for example. How long will it be before I can mobile them, that is, phone them using my mobile? I havent heard that verb yet, but Im sure I will soon. Perhaps Ill start using it myself! 1. “Ill pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means _.A. it wa

29、s a firm arrangementB. it was an uncertain arrangementC. the arrangement should be written as a diary D. he prefers a pencil to a pen2. A website address can be easily found if it has been _.A. emailed B. messaged C. favorited D. texted3. Which of the following has not been used as a verb yet?A. mes

30、sageB. page C. email D. mobile4. The best title for this passage is _.A. New Verbs from Old NounsB. The Development of the English languageC. New Technology and New wordsD. Technology and Language.阅读理解练习（04）High school dropouts earn an average of $9,000 less per year than graduates. Now a new study

31、denies a common belief why they quit. Its much more basic than failing in exams.Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just cant make it. They are lazy, and perhaps not too bright. So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they lef

32、t.“The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic (美籍西班牙的) students will receive a d

33、iploma, and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision. So, if failing grades dont explain why these kids quit, what does? Again, John Bridgeland: “The most dependable finding was that they were bored.” “They found classes uninteresting; they werent inspired or motivated. They didnt see any

34、 direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations (志向).”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US, only one stat

35、e, New Mexico, has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions. Another researcher says raising the compulsory (义务的) attendance age

36、may be one way to keep more kids in school.“As these dropouts look back, they realize theyve made a mistake. And anything of that sort gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, which is probably helpful.”New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attend

37、ance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point the need for reform. Its been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a

38、diploma that actually means something.1. Most high school students drop out of school because .A. they have failing gradesB. they take no interest in classesC. they are not allowed to attend schoolD. they are lazy and not intelligent2. According to the passage, which state has a law requiring school

39、 attendance until they graduate?A. New HampshireB. UtahC. New MexicoD. The District of Columbia3. In the last paragraph, the writer is trying to .A. analyze the reason why students quit schoolB. suggest raising the compulsory attendance ageC. raise awareness of reforming high school educationD. wish

40、 to make laws to guarantee no education4.

41、05）The peoples of the Scandinavian countries share a lot in common for geographical reasons. But there are more of differences than similarities between them in all ways，including their drinking customs.A superficial (表面的) observer might think that no one in Norway drinks wine. Meals eaten in restau

42、rants or at home are usually washed down with tea, coffee or milk. Occasionally however，pale or dark ale is drunk. It can be ordered only in restaurants, where it is served only with food.Excellent quality beers are made in Jutland and consumption is high. After beer, brandy is the favorite drink. A

43、alborg schnapps made from corn and potatoes, is famous for its high alcoholic content. For the Danes, brandy is also an aperitif (开胃酒) and is often drunk before meals. For a foreigner, the practice of surrounding toasts here can be uncomfortable. If he accepts one toast then he will have to accept a

44、ll others, and it is difficult to drink six or seven glasses of brandy unless one is used to it. Ladies are fortunately excluded from these rounds and they drink only a grape juice with almost no alcoholic content.It is milk instead of liquor that is the principal Finnish table drink. More milk is d

45、runk by the Finnish people than in any other nation. In Finland the sale of alcohol is a state behavior and a check is kept on consumption by recording purchases on special card issued to all customers.As there is a difference between Swedish cooking in the south and that in the north because of the

46、 difference in soil and climate, their drinking habits are also different. In the north alcoholic beverages are considered a necessity because they keep out the cold. While in the south people have milder drinks. But generally speaking, too much drinking is rare in Sweden, partly because it is again

47、st the law.Sale of spirits is controlled, the Swedes drink much coffee and tea. Many people still prefer the old-fashioned coffee served in large cups with cakes.
