You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it's likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so 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. I break values up into two groups which I call being values and having values. Your being values are the personalities of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a promise to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these personalities becomes your life purpose.
Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. 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 promise to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious (慎重的) choices rather than reactionary (反动的) ones. If your usual pattern 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, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.
When you choose to act on your values, you will not only feel good about yourself, but also strengthen your chosen beliefs. Over time, acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.
1.The main purpose of this passage is to .
A. persuade the readers to make a promise
B. explain to the readers what personal values are
C. inform the readers how to be truly happy
D. instruct the readers how to make wise choices
2.According to the text, living by your being values, you would .
A. gain a lot of power
B. form positive personality
C. seek all human virtues
D. fill your own needs
3.The underlined word "void" in Paragraph l means .
A. a feeling of emptiness
B. an absence of one's mind
C. a break of continuity
D. a state of confusion
4.What can be inferred from the text?
A. Having values are better than being values.
B. A calm person does not choose to complain.
C. The way other people think of you decides who you are.
D. A responsible person does not care about financial security.

The Israeli farmers who pioneered the revolutionary technology known as drip irrigation weren’t trying to solve one of the world’s most urgent problems．They were just trying to survive．They lived in the desert，and they didn’t have enough water to grow their crops．
In its simplest form，it was little more than a pipe with holes in it．But behind each hole was a hi-tech dripper that let out just the fight amount of water．Snaked along a row of crops so that the holes were positioned directly above the roots，the pipe could direct each precious drop of water directly to the plants，getting a bigger harvest while using a very small amount of the water．
Over time，the farmers improved upon the technology，perfecting the drippers that regulated the flow of water，and connecting the pipelines to computers that could determine exactly how much water each plant needed and when．
If the global population kept growing，the rest of the world would increasingly resemble their little community in the desert．So they began selling their irrigation systems in other parts of the world，eventually expanding to more than 110 countries．Netafirm，the company says it’s lifting people out of poverty and conserving water at a time when the importance of doing so has never been clearer．
The mass adoption of drip irrigation won’t save the world by itself．To avoid the coming catastrophe，nearly everybody will，in some way，have to do more with less，perhaps through accepting and using other new technologies．Otherwise，it’s going to get ugly．
1.Why is drip irrigation called“the revolutionary technology”?
A．It saves the world all by itself．
B．It is controlled by computers．
C．It makes irrigation more effective．
D．It provides deserts with water．
2.What does“one of the world’s most urgent problems”in Paragraph l refer to?
A．Lacking water． B．Lacking labor．
C．Lacking food． D．Lacking energy．
3.How does the drip irrigation help farmers with crops?
A．By drilling holes on the pipes．
B．By regulating water via drippers.
C．By snaking pipes along the crops．
D．By placing pipes just above roots.
4.Which of the following will be the best slogan for Netafirm to sell the irrigation systems?
A．Less water；More harvest．
B．New technology；New world．
C．More grain；Less starvation．
D．Water saving；World surviving．

科目：高中英语 来源：2016届河南省八市高三第三次质检英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解
Veteran（经验丰富的）rock climbers are calling her one of the most promising climbers in the world. She flies up, grasping the rock and heading gracefully for practically non-existent（不存在的）holds. She’s only 14. Ashima Shiraishi, the New York-born teen, has shaken up the climbing world. At 1.55 meters and 45 kilograms, Ashima might not look like the groundbreaking athlete. But she could be, though still young, the first female climber whose accomplishments go beyond gender.
The evidence: At just 14, Ashima has already made history in the sport. She won the American National Youth Bouldering Championship（美国青少年攀岩锦标赛）every year from 2010 to 2014. And last March, the young climber completed the “Open Your Mind Direct” course in Spain. It’s a very big deal because the course, with a hold broken off near the top, is widely considered one of the hardest in the world. Only one woman and a small number of men have ever conquered it. She first learned to climb on rocks in Central Park when she was only six. Her father, who works as a dancer, is her coach. At age nine, Ashima went on a bouldering（攀岩）trip to Texas. Falling brought tears to her eyes, but she didn’t give up. Now, she finds she “couldn’t live without climbing.”
For the past six years, Ashima has been a climbing legend. Her love for the sport has taken her around the world. There have been articles and photo spreads（横贯两版的照片）in newspapers and sports magazines, films, countless online video clips, and an appearance on Time Magazine’s list of America’s most influential teenagers.
“I think people are shocked if I do something they can’t do or because I’m still very young and I’m a girl,” Ashima says. “In most sports, men lead the way. But with climbing, who knows, maybe women will be leading. Doing something that a guy can’t do is pretty special.”
1.As for Ashima Shiraishi, we know ________.
A. she is a great young rock climber
B. she can always find climbing holds that don’t exist
C. she doesn’t look like an athlete at all
D. she is the first female climber in the world
2.Which of the following is true about the course “Open your Mind Direct”?
A. Climbers can take the course only in Spain and America.
B. It is not difficult to finish the course.
C. Climbers have to finish it without any holds at near the top.
D. Not many climbers have done well in it.
3.From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A. she wants to try other events in sports
B. she wonders why people are shocked
C. she expects to do better in rock climbing
D. she decides to try anything men can do
4.The passage mainly focuses on ________.
A. A Rock Star in the Climbing World
B. The First Female Rock Climber
C. A Most Influential Teenager in America
D. The Champion of American National Youth

In addition to seeing wonderful films, one of the joys of coming to the Quad Cinema is to hang out in the area. The Quad is located right in the heart of Greenwich Village, perhaps the most charming and interesting neighborhood in the city. Here are some attractions we recommend, all within a comfortable walk from the Quad:
Washington Square
As one of the best-known of New York City’s 1,900 public parks, it is a landmark in the Manhattan neighborhood of Greenwich Village, as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity. Come on a Sunday when it’s most lively and festive.
New York University
It surrounds Washington Square. See the impressive Bobst Library and visit the amazing bookstore. NYU is now considered one of the most powerful universities in the world.

Located on Washington Square south between Thompson Street and Sullivan Street, opposite Washington Square Park, this beautiful church was completed in 1892. The Judson is most famous for its vocal participation in social events.
Washington Mews
It is a hidden, private street in New York City between Fifth Avenue and University Place just north of Washington Square Park. It was first developed as a mews (row of stables) that serviced horses from homes in the area. Since the 1950s the former stables have served as housing, offices and other facilities for New York University.
Jefferson Market Courthouse
Built in 1833 as a market, it was later changed to a courthouse, and in the 1950s it was emptied and close to being destroyed. It was saved and turned into a library. Many consider it to be the most beautiful building in the village.
