When I was nine years old I lived in a small town. I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back of a children‟s magazine. I thought to myself I could do this. I begged my mother to let me send for the kit (配件). Two weeks later the kit arrived. The next three hours later, I returned home with no card and a pocket full of money shouting, “Mama, all the people couldn‟t wait to

D. Equipment.

buy my cards!” A salesperson was born.

When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Ziegler. I remember sitting in the dark hall listening to Mr. Ziegler raise everyone‟s spirits up to ceiling. I left there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to make people feel like that.” My father asked me what I meant. “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Ziegler,” I replied. A dream was born.

Recently, I began pursuing（追求） my dream of motivating others. I realized that everything I had accomplished — the graduate degree, the successful sales career, speaking appointments, training and managing for a major fortune 100 company as a senior manager— had prepared me for this moment. I told my boss who was a great leader I would leave the company though I might not reach such a height in career. He told me to proceed（进行） and he believed I would succeed.

Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job. We had recently bought a new home and needed both incomes to make the monthly mortgage (抵押) payment and now we were done to no income. I even planned to turn back to my former company, knowing they wanted me to stay but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward rather than end up with a mouth full of “if onlys” later on. A motivational speaker was born.

When I held fast to my dream, even during the tough times, the miracles（奇迹） really began to happen. In a short time period my husband found a better job. We didn‟t miss a mortgage payment. And I was able to book several speaking appointments with new clients (客户). I discovered the incredible power of dreams. I loved my old job, my workmates and the company I left, but it was time to get on with my dream. To celebrate my success I had a local artist paint my new office as a garden. At the top of one wall she marked, “The world always makes way for the dreamer.” 44. Why was the kit sent for?

A. Selling greeting cards. C. Buying greeting cards.

B. Collecting greeting cards. D. Sending greeting cards.

45. When did the author decide to become a motivational speaker?

A. After buying a new home by mortgage.

B. After giving notice to leave her safe position in the company.

C. After finding a job in a major fortune 100 company. D. After listening to Mr. Ziegler‟s inspiring speech. 46. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A. She was once an excellent manager. B. She left her post at the height of her career.

C. She was not sure whether the former company could accept her. D. She didn‟t miss paying the monthly mortgage payment. 47. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?

A. Carry on with your dreams and you will be successful. B. Risk everything you have for a dream and you will succeed. C. The world belongs to dreamers. D. Everyone will find their dreams.

C

Many people believe that the common garden slug(鼻涕虫) is nothing more than a pest that should be wiped out. In attempts to beautify their yards, people employ various poisons, strategically chosen plants, and gardening techniques. Success is attained when no trace of slugs can be found, although the worn-out gardener still watches and waits for their return, as completely ridding a garden of slugs is almost impossible.

Experts, however, have discovered that the slug‟s evil reputation as an enemy of home gardeners may, in fact, be groundless to some degree. Although it is true that a slug can devour(吞食) garden plants from the roots up in amazing quantities, it also produces nutrients(养分) for the soil, which help other plants grow. The diet of a slug consists of plant waste and mould, as well as living plants, making it a sort of natural recycling center. The unique structure of a slug digestive system enables it to take these discarded(弃置) products, transform them into the nutrients that plants need, and then release those nutrients harmlessly as wastes.

To some, this situation is unacceptable. No gardener wants to sacrifice his or her plants just to gain a few nutrients that could easily be provided by fertilizers(化肥). In order to achieve a balance, both slug and gardener may have to compromise some things. One relatively easy step is to separate plants with high slug appeal from those with low appeal. That way, the sections of the garden spared for plants with high slug appeal can contain plants that the gardener is willing to sacrifice so as to protect those plants that have a lower slug appeal. Another possibility is to leave some ground-covering plants in a less tidy state, since slugs particularly enjoy semi-decayed(半腐烂的)plant matter. The slugs will then be drawn toward this decaying matter instead of toward the living plants.

These measures may seem slow and difficult but they are still preferable to commercial slug repellents(驱虫剂) for several reasons. The topsoil of a garden is often highly lacking in nutrients, due to chemical damage caused by just such products. The fertilizer industry sells millions of pounds of dirt mixed with the nutrients necessary for a healthy garden every year. Yet these are the very same minerals that a healthy slug population would provide at no cost. Moreover, since slugs find newly dead slugs highly appetizing, the slug population is unlikely to decrease significantly as a result of these severe measures.

48. According to the passage, the wise way to deal with slug problem is that we should ________. A. apply as many kinds of commercial repellents as possible to the plant roots B. sacrifice some plants and keep semi-decayed plant matter as food for slugs C. employ all possible gardening techniques to get rid of slugs completely D. protect the garden from slugs by keeping it in a clean and tidy state 49. Commercial slug repellents are not advisable, because they __________.

A. do chemical harm to the top soil of a garden B. make chemical fertilizers not so effective C. make products not so healthy for eating D. they help slugs reproduce more quickly 50. Which word can be used to complete the structure of the passage?

A. plants B. mould C. nutrients D. poisons

四、任务型阅读（10分）

Children who grow up with self-control and an understanding of others‟ needs will be happy and successful adults, according to Dr. Cleen Kelly Mast, an expert on children‟s health. The key to raising a successful child comes from realizing what is true happiness.

For a person to be truly happy, he or she should learn to form the habits of self-discipline and generosity. Parents must help their children to reach this point by emphasizing the development of virtue and the advantage of forming good habits. “We have wonderful support systems through our schools,” Dr. Mast said, “but they are just support systems. The school cannot make up for what is lacking at home.” According to Dr. Mast, family life is well suited to educate children in virtuous living and the development of what she calls a “fine-tuned” conscience, which brings happy feeling.

So how can busy parents help children fine-tune their consciences? Dr. Mast suggested

Ridding a garden of all the slugs is impossible. Slugs make the discarded matter into ________. The writer offers two measures to achieve a balance. Keeping slugs in Gardens is preferable to fertilizers.

parents stop blaming and criticizing and teach children the skills of self-discipline through concrete actions.

However, a parent‟s good example is not enough. Children must become involved in their

own development. Parents can help to achieve that by making children realize that they are responsible for their actions in difficult situations, and they can choose to stop protecting them from painful experiences as well. Good discipline is not just making children follow their parents‟ demands. “We parents must encourage them with more than „Because I said so.‟” said Dr. Mast. Besides, orderliness and organization are quite important for children to achieve self-discipline.

In a broad sense, humans are designed to love, and love involves sacrifice, which is not a

quite popular idea in the modern world. Parents need to work on developing their children‟s habits of generosity and kindness to others. “Help your child, and yourself, to think kind thoughts of others, while pushing out negative thoughts.” said Dr. Mast. She also suggested parents find out their children‟s nature by analyzing the way they react to situations or to other people. And it is also considered effective to have them develop the habit of reviewing the day nightly, with a focus on correcting their own particular faults.

But life is not all work and no play. All have the right to enjoy life. As parents, it is your duty

to help your children form good habits and let them have fun while working hard, which will result in success when they grow up.

Title Develop habits that make children successful The key to raising successful children comes from (51)_________ what is true happiness and encouraging children to form habits of self-discipline Theory and generosity.

Should students make friends on line? Different people have different opinions.

Some people think that there is nothing wrong with making friends on the Internet and that developing friendships through the Internet has lots of advantages. For one thing, the Internet contributes to making friends from a wide range of fields. For another, by chatting on line, students can more freely express their feelings and opinions, and even take advantage of chances to get help with their foreign language studies.

Others, however, think in a different way. They say making friends on line is a waste of time, which, otherwise, should be spent more meaningfully on study. Besides, exposed to the Internet, some students are likely to get cheated on line.

In my opinion, as students, we should place our study, health and safety before other things. As for friendship, there is no need to make friends on line because we can make friends with our classmates or other people around us.
