10、 a reception hosted by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. They insisted on wearing poppies(罂粟花) in their buttonholes. Whats wrong with that?According to the Global Times, Chinese officials apparently had asked the UK delegation （代表团）not to wear poppies. The Britis

11、h said that poppies meant a great deal to them on that day and they would wear them all the same. So whats the significance of the poppy? Its a flower which has different cultural and symbolic meanings for British and Chinese people.From the Chinese point of view, the poppy is a symbol of Chinas hum

12、iliation at the hands of European powers in the Opium Wars（鸦片战争） of the 19th century. Britain forced China to open the borders to trade including in the opium which was made from poppies grown in India.Yet from the British viewpoint the poppy is a reminder of the killing during World War I.

13、ies grew on the battlefields of Flanders in Belgium where many thousands of British soldiers died or were buried. Since then, Poppy Day (November 11) has become a time in the UK to wear poppies and remember the sacrifices of British soldiers and civilians in times of war. So you can see that the pop

14、py sets off strong feelings in the hearts of Chinese and British people for different reasons. And it makes sense for us to try to understand each others standpoint.Of course cultural differences can also be funny. And what one nation thinks is an acceptable gift may be viewed differently by their g

15、uests from overseas. US President Barack Obama gave a gift of an iPod to Britains Queen a dull person with no interest in music.

20、l with each other.BAre morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I hardly went to bed before midnight, and I would always get up late the next morning. But after a while I couldnt ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occa

21、sions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity (效率) was always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed that my strategy was wrong.

22、 The most common wrong strategy is this: supposing youre going to get up earlier, youd better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail. There are two main schools (流派) of thought on sleep patterns. One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The

23、 second school says you should go to bed when youre tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at fixed hours, youll sometimes go to bed when you arent sleepy enough. Youre wasting time lying in bed awake. My solutio

24、n is to combine both methods. I go to bed when Im sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 a.m.), but I go to bed at different times every night.However, going to bed only when Im sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning are

25、 my ways. If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.1. According to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to _.A. people who stay up until the next morningB. people who get up early in the morningC. people who feel sleepy in the morningD. people whose productivity is the lowest

26、in the morning2Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser?A. Because he / she wanted to have more sleep time.B. Because he / she wanted to do morning exercise.C. Because he / she wanted to test which school is better?D. Because he / she found that the productivity was higher. 3The auth

27、or experienced all the following EXCEPT _.A. going to bed after midnightB. asking scholars for advice on sleeping habitsC. getting up early occasionallyD. pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping4Whats the authors sleep pattern?A. Going to bed early and getting up early.B. Going to bed late and gett

28、ing up late.来源:Z,xx,kC. Going to bed when sleepy and getting up at a fixed early time.D. Going to bed early and getting up late. C The man behind the Apple empire died at 56 years ago. He was one of the people who made Silicon Valley（硅谷） the capital of technological invention. Author and business co

29、nsultant Jim Collins once called Jobs the “Beethoven of business”. When asked what Steve Jobs will be best remembered for, many of us would name a particular product：the iPod, the iPhone or the iPad, for example. But in the eyes of Eric Jackson, a reporter with Forbes magazine, Jobs brought the worl

30、d much more than these popular devices（装置）. Here are some of the lessons he taught us：1. The most lasting inventions mix art and science. Jobs pointed out that the team members working with Apple were trained in anthropology（人类学）, art, history, and poetry. He believed this was important in making Ap

31、ples products stand out. 2. Never fear failure. Jobs was fired by the successor he himself chose. It was one of the most public embarrassments（尴尬） of the last 30 years in business. However, Jobs didnt hide away or try to get a new job. He picked himself up and got back to work. 3. You cant look forw

32、ard to connecting the dotsyou can only look backward. This means that, however much we try to plan things ahead of time, life is always full of unexpected things. What seems like bitter pain and defeat could turn out to sow the seeds of unimaginable success in years to come. You cant connect the dot

33、s looking forward. But you have to trust that all the dots will be connected in the future. 4. Listen to that voice in tile back of your head that tells you if youre on the right track or not. Most of us simply decide that were going to work in finance or become a doctor because its what our parents

34、 tell us to do. Whatever your voice is telling you, it is smart to listen to itlike Jobs did. Just as Caroline and Amy from his empire put it, “Steve was one of the most inspiring yet toughest boss everbut who else could have built Apple? What Steve left is sure to inspire generations of creative th

35、inkers to think differently. His influence will be felt throughout the world.”1. From the passage, we learn that _. A. Steve Jobs is the first founder of Silicon Valley B.

I didnt get a license until I turned 24

39、 years old. As a result, when I first married, we only had one car and car pooled(拼车) to work. My husbands hours were different from mine by one hour. I worked earlier. So he dropped me off and went to the diner to drink coffee until work time.Then, in the afternoons, I leisurely（悠闲地）walked the thre

40、e miles to his work place where I waited in his car, reading a book.One day while waiting for him, I noticed the most beautiful Cadillac pull in the lot. It was powder blue and shining. The kind of car you dream about. I was busily admiring the car, when I noticed the driver. Honestly, she was proba

41、bly the prettiest woman I had ever seen off the movie screen.She pulled into the spot beside our car and it was all I could do not to stare. She and Liz Taylor looked much alike, especially jet black hair and alabaster(雪白的) skin. Our eyes made contact and she smiled at me. Her eyes were as blue as t

42、he sea, and teeth like an even row of pearls. She was wearing a light blue shirt that just matched her car. Peeking through her long, softly curled hair I could see gold hoop earrings. They had to be gold to shine like that. A couple of minutes later, a nice looking man came out of the building, ent

43、ered her car, leaned over and kissed her and she drove away.Sitting there in my jeans, shirt and hair in a pony tail, I wanted to cry. How could some people have it all?Maybe I would have forgotten about her, but the following week, I saw her again. Then it became almost set to see her about once a

44、week. She seemed friendly and always waved, flashing a big smile. My envy lasted long after she drove away.Many nights when sleep escaped me, I would think about the beautiful lady. I wondered if she and her husband ate out, and where they dined, and what she was wearing. I wanted her to get out of

45、the car and let me see her full length. Did she wear really high heeled shoes and pants, or a skirt?I would get my answers in a couple of weeks.Sitting in our usual parking lot, I was holding my book, watching her over the top of it. She was waiting and when her husband came to the car, she called t

46、o him. They spoke a few words and he opened the car door for her to step out. He took her arm and helped her out of the car. I could see very well as she moved to get out. She was wearing a skirt.She haltingly walked around to the passenger side very slowly, leaning on a walking stick. Sitting sidew

47、ays in the car, she lifted one leg with her hands and then the other one. The beautiful lady had a prosthesis(假肢)on the left leg and a brace(支架) on the right leg. I couldnt watch them drive away as the tears were blinding me. For weeks I had envied this woman and her way of life, while I had been able to walk three miles to our car!When my husband arrived and found me crying, he immediately asked what was wrong. Through my tears, I told him about the beautiful lady. He said he knew her husband and also knew the story. The beautiful lady and her parents
