After Steve Jobs died, his friend Larry Ellison said something like this. “There will

never be another Steve Jobs.”   31    Larry wrote this list of Steve’s life lessons to

 remind us all.

1. Love what you do.

  Sure Steve became a billionaire when he bought Apple back. Apple was his

calling ------even after he got fried from the company. We all have bad jobs at one

point in our lives. But the question is: Am I in the right job? Have I found the right

company? Life doesn’t go on forever.  32   2. Don’t do it all by yourself.

Steve learned a great leader can’t do it all by himself. He needs people. They

must be talented.  33   They must be given the opportunity to succeed and fail. In short, we have to learn to be a great leader if we want to see our great ideas and hard work truly

have an influence on the world.

3.  34  

Apple was always the best at creating a new product that meets the exact needs of

users. It’s empathy(同情心)that helps Apple achieve this. Whenever the user has the

first touch with a new Apple product, he says “Wow, it’s just what I need”.

Remember: you’re

King in the business world if you know exactly what consumers desire.

4. Don’t ignore your health problem.

  35    That’s the most important lesson from Steve’s life. It’s great to learn from him but, the fact is he should still be here if he had treated his cancer properly. Instead, Steve chose a naturopathic(自然疗法) solution that wasn’t helpful. When he finally decided to take his doctor’s original advice, it was too late.

A. They must be inspired.

B. Be the best in your field.

C. Take your health seriously.

D. Get on our right way now.

E. Will this lead to a successful job?

F. Put yourself in the other’s shoes.

G. What are the key things that we could learn from him?

1. Doctors say many diseases can be ______ ______（阻止）spreading by washing our hands.   

2. I don’t want any icecream, for I decide to ______ ______(减肥). 

3. I haven’t finished the task._____ _______ _______ (相反地)，I have just begun.

4. The photos _____ him  ____ his childhood （使他想起）. 

5. ______ _____ (既然) you have finished your homework, you can play basketball.   

6. I found out the secret of the matter ______ _____ (碰巧).

7. He _____ _____(高兴起来) at the thought of going home.    

Speaking in public is a fear for a lot of people, whether it's giving a speech, a toast (祝酒) at your friend's wedding, or being called in class. Fortunately, you can reduce your anxiety level by following some of these tips.   36   But you’ll be far less likely to give up in front of your audience.

l       37   Part of making yourself a comfortable and dynamic(有活力的) public speaker is to make sure you know what you're talking about and you know it well. Lacking knowledge can make you anxious and uncertain when you're speaking and that will come through to your audience.

l   Train your body. While speaking in public isn't like running a race, there are still things you can do to make sure that your body cooperates with you.   38   (Hold your toes still and you won't find yourself doing this.) It has to do with breathing, with projecting and making sure you're speaking properly.

l     Know your speech. Knowing your speech is just as important as knowing the subject you're giving the speech on. There are also different ways of giving speeches.   39   

l     Know your audience.   40   Things that might go over well with one type of audience are going to anger or bore another type. For example, you wouldn't want to be informal during a business presentation, but you might be informal with a group of college students.

A. Know your subject.

B. It may never be your favourite thing.

C. You'll need to pick the way that works best for you.

D. You need to know who you're giving your speech to.

E. Don’t shift your weight from foot to foot while you're talking.

Less is more. This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, relax instead of stressing, and slow down instead of speeding up. Apply these principles in your everyday life. You will then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification.

Separate Your Actions

When you concentrate on one task, you find you have energy that you didn’t even know you had. Just imagine: you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards. If you carry two, it will take forever. But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run back and get the other one, and carry the second pig to the finish line, then you can be sure of success.

Say “No” Firmly

If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do, then it’s not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too many activities. The solution is equally simple: say no to accept so much work in your private life or your working life.

Allow Yourself to Be Weak

“I can deal with stress” is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work. People who can deal with stress are given more and more to --- until one day they break.

Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can deal with. If you become ill, or your work efficiency decreases, change your life goals. Say quite openly, “I can’t manage that.”

Stop Expecting Everything to Be Perfect

“If only I were slimmer, more beautiful, richer, more clever, then I would be happier.” This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill, and unhappy. Life is imperfect. Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life.

Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous: driving a car; crossing the road. But life doesn’t entirely have these things. In among them there is possibility that you may make small and large mistakes.

Escape Now and Then

Successful people all have their own places where they can be left alone in order to work. Find out which places improve your creativity. For me it’s the train. When I know that I’m going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door, I find my mind is free and I can read or write articles.

Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?

UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.

Nitrogen（氮）and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌）networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.

Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.

“We didn't take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.

10．What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Old Trees Communicate Like Humans

B.Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection

C.Trees Contribute To Our Society

D.Trees Are More Complex Than You Think

11．In Simard's opinion, trees _______.

A.compete for survival       B.protect their own wealth

C.depend on each other       D.provide support for dying trees

12．We can learn from the passage that            .

A. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.

B. Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard.

C. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected.

D. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.

13．The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to        .

A. how “tree societies” work

B. how trees grow old

C. how forestry industry develops

D. how young trees survive

When I was asked to think about someone who changed our life by my teacher, I thought of my friend Anna immediately.

In the future, you will have a good job and certainly be   43   in life.” After her graduation, she was admitted to a university.   44  , she left there after studying for appropriately a year, because she didn’t have enough   45   for the next year.

I   51   her and often tell myself that I should work hard to   52   it once I set my mind to something like Anna. Her ways are changing my ways. Now I don’t do the things I   53   to do. Ever since I started high school, I have been more   54  . I am not lazy any more. Instead, I try to come to school every day. I have   55   everything aside and just have been focused on school. I am really   56   that she has changed me a lot.

As our teacher was   57  , already had something to write, because I   58   thought of my friend. I am actually proud to say that she is my   59  , because I wouldn’t be here at this point of time without her help. I firmly believe that I will be someone who   60   someone else one day.

Woman Uses Daughter's Key to "Steal" Car

   Charlie Vansant, a college student of Athens, Ohio, who reported that his car was stolen, got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and taken it — using her key.

Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter's car near an Ohio University building last week. Anderson spotted the Toyota Camry（丰田凯美瑞）and used her daughter's key to unlock the car, start the engine and drive home — without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.

  When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later, he found only an empty parking spot. He first assumed the car had been towed, but when the police couldn't find a record of it, they took a theft(偷窃) report.

  The morning after Anderson took the car, her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers. Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.

  When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway, "It sounded really suspicious at first, as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom (赎金) , ” said Vansant. He eventually went to the house with a police officer, where he was reunited with his car. According to the police report, the case was closed "because of mistaken car identity", and Anderson wasn't charged.

  Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the "thief". "Her key fit not only my lock, but my ignition（点火装置）as well — so high-five for Toyota, I guess." he said.

27. What does the underlined word "towed" mean in paragraph 3?

  A. sold              B. damaged.         C. remove           D.stolen.

28. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

   A. Mrs. Anderson's daughter discovered the car her mother drove was not hers.

   B. Mrs. Anderson stole Charlie's car at the request of her daughter.

   C. Charlie had thought he had to give Anderson money to get his car back.   

   D. Mrs. Anderson used her daughter's key to unlock Charlie's car and drive home.

29.  What does Charlie mean by "high-five for Toyota"?

   A. He should thank Toyota for returning his car.

   B. He thinks highly of Toyota for producing large quantities of cars.

   C. He wants to celebrate with Toyota for getting his car back.

   D. He is blaming Toyota for the poor quality of car keys.

30. What is likely to happen next according to the passage?

   A. Mrs. Anderson was charged with stealing a car.

   B. Charlie blamed Mrs. Anderson for mistakenly taking his car.

   C. The Toyota Company would give Charlie a new car as compensation.  

   D. Charlie would ask the Toyota Company to give him an explanation.

Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.

We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “ And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of ‘garbage in garbage out’.”

Mr. Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has something to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is that they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it is going to the wrong place.”

Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on Driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.

Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better, we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.

(   )65. In Para. 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to ______.

          A. laugh at his stupid friend                    B. describe an example of human error

          C. build up his own reputation                 D. prove the GPS system is only garbage

(   )66. Which of the following statement would Barry Brown be most likely to agree with?

          A. GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failure.

          B. We should introduce higher standard for the driving license

          C. Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems.

          D. Some shortcomings of GPS equipment are more likely to result in service failure.

(   )67.  According to Barry and Eric, which of the following is NOT among the areas of GPS systems that may confuse drivers?

          A. Wrong maps.                               B. Out-dated maps.

          C. Difficult instructions.                           D. Timing of GPS commands.

(   )68. What would be the best title for the text?

          A. Driving with GPS Can Be Difficult.

          B. Driving Confusions Can Be Caused By Small Screen.

          C. Driving without GPS Should Be Much More Convenient.

          D. GPS Equipment In Driving: To Be Deserted Or Improved.

A day I happened to find a chatting room on the internet, where people were chatting on English. I tried to chat with some of them. To my surprised, I found the fact that the spoken English of some junior students were better than mine. I asked them for an advice and they told me to practise more on QQ. What I wish I could speak English as good as these fellows! Therefore, every day after that I would spend one hour practise my spoken English on QQ. Day by day I learned many good and use words and expression. With time going by, I found that I could even communicate with some college students freely.
