    To be able to motivate oneself, or self-motivate, occurs when a person has the willingness to do something and is internally(内在地) motivated to do it.
    Sometimes it’s very difficult to get ourselves moving. The natural tendency is to postpone. Life just seems to get in the way! There is a job to go to, groceries to do, television to watch—whoops! I guess we get pretty good at finding excuses to escape getting started on goals like an exercise routine or reading a new book. The fact is that we are creatures of routine and habit. So what can we do to motivate ourselves to accomplish our goals? 
    Here are some tips on how to get moving:
    l Decide what you want. It’s hard to motivate an aimless mind. Set a goal and decide how you are going to go about it. Then break it down into smaller sections so it’s easier to handle and less overwhelming.（势不可挡）
    l Keep track of your progress. Keep a log or journal where you can measure how much you have accomplished. Looking at it can also motivate you to keep pushing ahead.
    l Post motivating pictures or slogans within your sight. It is always inspiring to see pictures of people who have accomplished what you’re going for. It makes it attainable and realistic. Likewise, little slogans like “go for it” or “just do it” can give you the little support you need.    
    l Sometimes we forget what we set out to do and a little reminder is all we need to be revitalized (激活) and focus on the end result. If you remind yourself to go for the desired promotion, it will re-establish why you are doing what you’re doing.
    l Make it a habit. Once you have accomplished your objective, e.g. becoming an early riser, keep it up so that it’s second nature to you and you don’t have to think about it anymore.
    64. According to the author, some people fail to achieve their goals because ________.
    A. they don’t have enough desire
    B. their life is filled with routine work
    C. they benefit from the force of habit
    D. they naturally put off forming new habits
    65. It can be inferred from the underlined sentence that ________.
    A. self-motivation needs repeated self-reminding of one’s goal
    B. in modern society people tend to become forgetful
    C. when we forget our goal, our life becomes meaningless
    D. we can achieve our goal only by focusing on the end result
    66. To get moving on your goal, you can do the following EXCEPT ________.
    A. keep a diary to clearly judge your distance to your goal
    B. make self-improvement your second nature
    C. forget your aim and revitalize yourself with slogans
    D. support yourself by hanging inspiring pictures in your house
    67. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
    A. Set Goals in Your Life                                          B. Get Yourself Motivated
    C. Get into Good Habits                                          D. Do Not Postpone

        By far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.
    Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to change it frequently, since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be.
    No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others. There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work . Many able students state that they work in cycles. When they become interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time. On other days they avoid work completely. It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation to work. Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work. The “tough-minded” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally, under the influence of inspiration.
    Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”. Freedom from control and discipline  leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”. Our society insists on regular habits, timekeeping and punctuality (准时), and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society, we have to meet its demands.
    63．The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is ________.
    A. changing from one subject to another
    B. the failure to keep to a set timetable of work
    C. the unwillingness to follow a systematic plan
    D. working on a subject only when one feels like it
    64．Which of the following is true ?
    A. Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable.
    B. Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable.
    C. Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.
    D. Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.
    65．The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means ________.
    A. when they have the energy                                               B. when they are in the mood
    C. when they feel fit                                                        D. when they find conditions suitable
    66．A suitable title for the passage might be ________.
    A. Attitudes to Study                                                      B. A study Plan
    C. The Difficulties of Studying                             D. Study and Self-discipline

    For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.  Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
    To advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the   50  .
    Some are the   51   ways every advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct   52   about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield (挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how   53   if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising,   54  , you can print your products on T-shirts of your   55  . In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a public service ad. Ever since, spray-painted sign has become more and more   56  .
    More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to   57   a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask   58   about your company, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old slide projector to put on a nighttime show. They’re   59   effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public   60   that seizes the public’s attention. You can invite a band to give a performance.
    61   , you can hire famous models to show it vividly.
    Nothing screams “expert” quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply can’t   62   the power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You won’t make money on the book. You’ll make it because of the book.
    Of course, word-of-mouth is the best way to promote your   63  . Friends and past customers recommend your products to their family, friends and colleagues. Word-of-mouth works because the   64  is based on previous positive experiences.

    In their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a medium?sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6 liter Land Cruiser.?
    “We’re not actually saying it is time to eat the dog. We’ re just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.”?
    Constructing and driving the jeep for a year requires 0.41 hectares of land, while growing and manufacturing a dog’s food takes about 0.84 hectares — or 1.1 hectares in the case of a large dog such as a German shepherd.?
    Convincing flesh?eating cats and dogs to go vegetarian for the sake of the planet is a non?starter, the Vales say. Instead they recommend keeping “greener”, smaller, and more sustainable pets, such as goldfish, chickens or rabbits.?
    The book’s playful title, and serious suggestion that pet animals may be usefully “recycled”, by being eaten by their owners or turned into pet food when they die, may not appeal to animal fans.?
    Annoying as the idea may be, the question is valid given the planet’s growing population and limited resources, Robert Vale said.?
    “Issues about sustainability are increasingly becoming things that are going to require us to make choices which are as difficult as eating your dog. It’s not just about changing your light bulbs or taking a cloth bag to the supermarket,” he said.?
    “It’s about much more challenging and difficult issues,” he added. “Once you see where cats and dogs fit in your overall balance of things, you might decide to have the cat but not also to have the two cars and the three bathrooms and be a meat eater yourself.”?
    56. The authors gave their book the playful title to________.?
    A. make it amusing                    B. create a vivid image?
    C. show　writing skills                 D. arouse people’ s concern
    57. In Paragraph 3 the writer mainly wants to tell us________.?
    A. the amount of consumed land ?
    B. the neglected ecological impact?
    C. some familiar examples ?
    D. some actual figures?
    58. What does “sustainability” mean according to the passage??
    A. Going vegetarian. ?
    B. Raising cats and dogs.?
    C. Using a cloth bag. ?
    D. Keeping a greener life.?
    59. Who may not like the idea of “recycling” pet animals??
    A. Manufacturers.                  B. Drivers. ?
    C. Animal fans.                     D. The authorities.?
    60. What do the authors think of living a sustainable life??
    A. Challenging.          B. Inspiring.          C. Inviting.         D. Touching.

    Although the weathermen’s forecasts for a month ahead are only little better than guesswork, they are now making long-term forecasts into the next century with growing confidence. The main trend in the world’s climate in the coming years will, scientists say, be a predictable result of man’s activities.
    At the start of the industrial revolution nearly two centuries ago, man set off a big experiment in planetary engineering. Unaware of what he was doing, he spared no thought for the consequences. Today the possible outcome is alarmingly clear, but the experiment is unstoppable. Within the lifetime of many of us, the Earth may become warmer than it has been for a thousand years. By the middle of this century it may be warmer than it has been since the last Ice Age.
    A warmer climate may seem welcome, but it could bring many dangers： damages to crops in the world’s main food-producing areas, famine(饥荒),  economic instability, civil unrest and even war.
    In the much longer term, melting of the great ice-caps of Greenland and Antarctica could raise sea-levels throughout the world. The average sea-level has already risen a foot since the turn of the last century, and if the ice-caps disappear completely, it would rise by nearly 200 feet. Complete melting might take many centuries, but even a small increase in sea-level would threaten low-lying parts of the world such as the Netherlands.
    44. Long-term weather forecasts beyond the year 2050 may seem strange because ____.
    A. none of us will be alive then
    B. weathermen can even forecast next month’s weather correctly
    C. weathermen can forecast much better than they used to
    D. no one can stop engineering experiments
    45. Weathermen believe that our future climate will be the direct result of ____.
    A. the big scientific experiment       B. clever long-term forecasts
    C. the melting of the ice-caps          D. planets changing course
    46. One of the results of a warmer world climate could be ____.
    A. an increase in food production
    B. greater co-operation between countries
    C. the death of millions of people from starvation
    D. a reduction in the amount of oil we use
    47. Scientists are fairly sure that by the year 2050, _______.
    A. the sea-level will have risen obviously
    B. there will have been the Third World War
    C. most countries will have been flooded
    D. the polar ice-caps will have melted completely

    Each winter, the rugged North Shore serves up some of the largest and most impressive ocean waves on the planet．Giant waves make their long journey across the northern Pacific to the area’s shoreline．For many island residents, this means only one thing: surf up．

    The exact origin of surfing is unknown, but most historians believe that the Polynesians were already very good at the sport by the time they migrated to the Hawaiian Islands some 2 000 years ago．Early Hawaiians called surfing “He’e nalu”, which literally translates to “wave sliding”．During this time, only high-ranking officials and nobles had access to the best surf spots．King Kamehameha himself was said to be a keen and skilled surfer．
    Surfing really took off in the early 1990s．Riding boards made from redwood and balsa wood, early surfers risked their lives to take on these giant waves．
    Today, thanks to a number of modern innovations and inventions, the surfing population on the North Shore has exploded．Wave riders and spectators from around the world gather here from November to February, hoping to catch that perfect wave．Winter wave heights can get as high as 20 feet, with faces up to 50 feet! This extreme surf is for experts only, and even then conditions are considered highly dangerous．
    World-known surf contests are held here from early November to late December．The Van’s Triple Crown of Surfing, which includes the Vans Hawaiian Pro at Ali’ i Beach Park in Hale’ iwa, the Rip Curl Cup at Sunset Beach, brings together the world’s best professional surfers．Watching them surfing on the grand waves is really a feast for the eyes．
    Although winter on the North Shore may not be the best time and place to learn how to surf, the summer months provide safer and more favorable conditions．
    64．The passage is most probably from ________．
    A．a guide book                                                     B．a magazine                 
    C．a government report                                               D．a geography textbook
    65．What can we learn from the passage?
    A．High officials were the best surfers in the past.
    B．Surfing dates back to at least 2 000 years.
    C．The best time for surfing is from November to February.

    66．Which of the following is NOT true to the passage?
    A．The Polynesians were among the earliest people who took up surfing.
    B．Modern inventions make surf boards safer for the surfers.
    C．It is a perfect chance for spectators to watch the competitions.

    Dog walkers provide a 20 to 60-minute daily walk for a client’s（客户）dog, making sure the dog answers the call of nature and gets proper exercise. They often walk more than one dog at a time. Some walkers work for dog-walking services, especially when starting out. Others have their own businesses, and build by word of mouth and advertising. Dog walkers often work part-time, and some provide other services like pet sitting or transporting.
    In N.Y.C., dog walkers usually earn about $25 an hour. If you work for a dog-walking business, you may earn less-if you are on your own dealing with several dogs at the same time, it may be more.
    What do you have to do to be a dog walker?
    First, have a real love of dogs, and have a good knowledge of how to get on with dogs. Try calling dog-walking services to find out about openings. If you’re on your own, you’ll need to network and market yourself. You might advertise your services in pet offices, grooming businesses, or neighborhood papers. You will need business cards and a mobile phone, and have good references and a clean background. You’ll also have to deal with taxes and insurance. You should be physically fit, friendly, neatly dressed and extremely dependable. Many dog walkers are bonded（被担保的）and insured, and this is a definite selling point to clients.
    Of course, you will be cleaning up dog waste! You will also be outside in all kinds of weather. You may have to deal with dogs that don’t like each other ,and difficult owners. It’s also an up and down kind of business-clients can come and go.
    For pet lovers, spending the workday with dogs instead of navigating office politics is its own reward! You are your own boss-you can dress casually, your doggy clients will love you unconditionally, and you’ll get some great exercise!
