A.      Don’t be afraid of risks.

B.      Find ways to solve problems.

C.      Learn from successful people.

D.     Don’t give up easily.

E.      Know the meaning of success.

F.      Enjoy facing your failure.

61                

You cannot have success if you don’t know what it means to you. Set clear goals and be realistic. Your standards should be specific or else you will spend your entire time chasing after a vague goal. For example, you want to be good at your job. However, this is not a specific goal. Instead, specify this goal as: “My goal is to only be late for work five times per year, at the most.” This is a specific goal that when achieved, give you a sense of satisfaction and completion, making you feel successful and confident.

62                

Look around---who has the success that you envision（想象）for yourself? What are they doing? How do they come near a successful life? Become their students. Ask them for advice. Spend time around them, if you can. Learn from them. They will bring you much useful experience.

63                

Successful people think big and act big. It can be scary to do, but if you don’t, then how will you ever be successful? Don’t wait for opportunities. Dig them out. Successful people make big investments (in their careers, in their business, in their education) and all investments involve some degree of risk. Study your risks, and be brave.

64                 

People who are successful like solving problems and answering questions. No matter where you are or what you are doing, look around and try to think of ways you can find, for example, what are people struggling with or complaining about? How can you make life easier for them in an effective way? Can you redesign or reorganize some aspects of the situation so that things can run more smoothly?

65                

You should learn to persist. It is also the key factor to success. When asked about his 10,000 failed attempts to develop a storage battery, the prolific（多产的）American inventor Thomas Edison replied: “I have not failed; I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. So, if your first attempt didn’t work, don’t quit and don’t give up.”

 Nowadays people are more likely to go to ______ mall than visit the tailor when shopping for clothes, so tailors have adapted to _________ new reality.

Cambridge graduates are the most employable in the world，according to a global league table．The ancient university is the best at producing graduates who are‘ready to work’，a poll of major employers found．

Oxford slipped to fourth place in the rankings having taken top spot last year．Harvard and Yale—part of the US‘Ivy League’of universities—were second and third respectively．

Five British universities were ranked in the top 20—one more than last year—and 12 were in the full list of 150．

But the UK as a country came third—behind the US and Germany—when companies were asked to name the best nation for producing work—ready graduates．

The table—the Global Employability(就业能力)University Ranking published by the International New York Times—also showed that universities in Asian countries were rapidly gaining ground on their western counterparts (对手)．

Asian universities claimed 20 percent of the top 150 places in 2014 compared with only 10 percent when the tables were first published in 2010．

The other British universities in the top 20 were University College London，in 14th place，Imperial College London，in 15th，and Edinburgh，18th．

The table showed the gap between a small number of top UK universities and less famous institutions．

Laurent Dupasquier，managing partner at Emerging，a French human resources consultancy，said：“The top tier players．global brands (which tend to be all American and British)．continue to lead，while other Anglo—Saxon universities，those that are mainly regional players，tend to develop less well，with an average of five places lost in comparison with last year．”

“Like the Premier League(英超联赛)，the champions have an international community of students and think internationally，unlike their more locally oriented counterparts．”

The table was made following a survey of 2,500 major companies in 20 countries．Employers were asked to rank universities against a range of criteria including their production of graduates who are ready to work and their links with business．

The study claimed that‘the days of ivory towers are over’．

32．Which university had the best work-ready graduates last year?

A．Cambridge．    B．Oxford．    C．Harvard．  D．Yale．

33．The underlined phrase“gaining ground”in Paragraph 5 probably refers to ____________．

A．falling behind    B．coming into conflict

C．making room               D．becoming more successful

34．What can we learn about the UK universities from the text?

A．There are many quality gaps between UK universities．

B．The UK produced the most work-ready graduates this year．

C．Universities in the UK make up most of the top 20．

D．Almost all UK university graduates are employable．

35．Why do regional UK universities tend to develop less well this year?

A．They couldn’t raise enough education fund．

B．They have students from all over the world．

C．They lack international students and think locally．

D．The UK government didn’t support them at a11．

In spite of our efforts，we seemed to be getting no closer to Mary as the cold，boring March days dragged by. Even my faith was wearing thin. My heart ached so desperately， wanting this child with autism (自闭症) to come alive and be aware of the beauty， the wonder and the fun even if she had the pain of living without her mother.

Then on a late March day，one of the boys excitedly reported a robin (知更鸟) in the schoolyard. We flocked to the window to see it. "Spring's here!" the children cried. "Let's make a flower border for the room!"

Why not? I thought. Anything to lift our spir­its. This time the papers we selected were beautiful pastel (颜料) colors，with brown strips to weave in­to baskets. I showed the children how to weave the baskets and how to fashion all the flowers we wel­come in early spring. I placed the beautifully colored papers on her desk and encouraged her to try. Then I left the children to do their own creating，and I spent， the next half-hour sorting strips of paper at the back of the room.

Suddenly，Kristie came hurrying to me，her face red. “Come and see Mary’s basket,” she cried. “It’s so pretty! You’ll never believe it!” I caught my breath at its beauty. “Mary,” I said .“This is beautiful. How did you ever manage?” She looked at me with the shining eyes of any normal little girl. “My mother loved flowers,” she said simply. “She had all of these growing in our garden. ”

We fastened her basket in the very center of the border at the front of the room. It remained there until school ended in June. On the last day，Mary held it carefully as she carried it out the door. Then she came running back, pulled a paper crocus (番红花) from her basket and handed it to me. "This is for you," she said， and she gave me a hug.

I've kept the crocus in my desk ever since-just to remind me of Mary and of the enduring power of love and faith.

 It is a common thing to forget to return a book to the library after you’ve borrowed it. Maybe, you’ll realize it has been some   61   (month) since you borrowed it and decide to return it.   62   (similar) , when Ron Webster borrowed a book from the library of the University Of Liverpool, he too forgot to return it. When he was 30, back in 1953, he was working   63   a research assistant in the university. It was during this time   64   he loaned a book titled “Structure and Function in Primitive Society.” Shortly after he borrowed this book, he   65   (call) to London to continue his research. Just as you might have expected, Ron Webster completely forgot the whole thing.

Ron had a   66   (success) career and worked for Ford before retiring and leading a relaxed life. Recently when he took   67   look at his collection of books, he discovered the old book borrowed 61 years ago. He contacted University officials to tell about the   68   (possible) of returning the book.

       University Librarian was   69   (amaze) to see Ron arrive at the University Of Liverpool,   70   (try) to return a book that he borrowed 61 years ago.

       Just in case you were wondering, the total fine that Ron Webster had accumulated over the years amounted to £4,510.

Those who believe that they will never do well in a particular area probably never will. Those who believe they are not good at  41  will forever feel unprepared. But those who believe that it is   42  to succeed at what they attempt can surprise themselves.

    Adam was ready to  43  . His wife Anna, however, was less  44 . As she explained to a friend,” Adam has  45  done anything that required physical strength. When he retires, he will sit in his easy chair and  46  me to bring him his food.”

But to Anna’s  47  , soon after her husband retired, he  48  a health club. Arriving home from exercise class one night, he announced,”I  49  for the wrestling tournament. I am going to  50  Friday night.” Anna was shocked. “Please don’t do it., Adam. You’re not in  51  . You will be so beat up that they will have to carry you home!”  52  , he couldn’t be persuaded and she told him that if he wanted really to do it, she was not going to watch.

53  to her word, she stayed away as Adam wrestled. And just as she  54  , two men carried Adam home. He  55  down on the bed, every muscle pained and wounded.  56 she could speak, he cried out,” Don’t say a(n)  57  , Anna! This is not the worst of it. I 58

For as long as they can remember Jynne Martin and April Surgent had both dreamed of going to Antarctica. This winter, they each made it to the icy continent as guests of the National Science Foundation (NSF).But they didn’t go as scientists. Martin is a poet and Surgent is an artist. They went to Antarctica as participants in the NSF’s Artists and Writers program. The NSF is the government agency that funds scientific research in Antarctica. But it also makes it possible for artists, including filmmakers and musicians, to experience Antarctica and contribute their own points of view to our understanding of the continent.  

The mixing of science and art in Antarctica isn’t new. Some of the earliest explorers brought along painters and photographers. Edward Wilson was a British painter, doctor, and bird expert who journeyed with Robert Falcon Scott on two separate Antarctic expeditions more than 100 years ago. Herbert Ponting was a photographer who also accompanied Scott on one of those expeditions. In hundreds of photos, Ponting captured the beauty of the continent and recorded the daily lives and heroic struggles of the explorers.   

Today’s scientists write articles for scientific journals. Unlike the early explorers’ journals, scientific papers can now be very difficult for non-scientists to understand. Writers in Antarctica work to explain the research to the public. Peter Rejcek is editor, writer, and photographer for the Antarctic Sun, an online magazine devoted to news about the U.S. Antarctic Program. Rejeck began his career in the Antarctic in 2003 by spending a year at the South Pole. He has returned every year since，interviewing， scientists about research at Palmer，McMurdo，and South Pole stations.

There are also scientists in Antarctica who work hard to explain their research to the public. Scientist Diane McKnight wrote The Lost Seal，a children’s book that explains the research she and others are doing in an unusual ice-free area in Antarctica called the Dry Valleys. 

Antarctica is full of stories and wonders that are scientific, historic and personal. People such as Martin, Surgent, Rejcek, and Diane McKnight are devoted to bringing those stories to as many people as they can. “Some people are going to be scientists，some people are going to be journalists，some people are going to be artists，but we can all work together.” says Surgent, “to celebrate，this extraordinary place.”  

32. What do we know about the NSF? 

A. It is a government agency.

B. It only funds scientists in Antarctica.

C. It encourages the understanding of human nature.

D. It enables the mixing of science and art for the first time.

33. Why didn’t some earliest explorers bring writers along?

A. Writers were not funded at that time.

B. Writing can’t capture the beauty of the continent.

C. Writers were not interested in popularizing science.

D. Early explorers ’journals can be easily understood by the public.

34. By mentioning Diane McKnight, the author may try to suggest that_____.

A. scientists should explain their research to children

B. writers are not necessary since scientists can tell stories as well

C. telling stories to children is more important than knowing the truth

D. no matter what role we play, we can work together to appreciate Antarctica

35. What would be the best title for this article?

A. Antarctica: A Land for A11           

B. The NSF: A Program for All

C. Antarctica: A Land of Beauty and Stories  

D. The NSF: A Program for Artists and Scientists
