【题目】Choosing the Right Path to Be a "Better" Person

Life is a constant exercise in self-improvement. In the rush to achieve, the idea of being "better" can become lost sometimes.1Here are some tips for you.

Explore your talents.

Everybody has some outstanding skills or interests. So it's often necessary to be patient and try

many things before you find one that suits you.

2For example, people loving adventure may not be interested in the quiet chess club, but someone who enjoys other quiet activities might be. Determining who you enjoy being around may help you know what you'll enjoy.

3

No matter how much money you make, you will not be happy if you spend your entire life doing something you hate. It's important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy. If you're particularly unhappy at your job, consider why.4If you feel your job isn't meaningful, or isn't in line with your values, consider finding another job

Experience something new.

Research has shown that when we're in our comfort zone, we aren't as productive as we are

when we step just beyond it.5Because of that, we may react slowly to our own positive

experiences and interactions with others, even when those are little scary. Doing so can help you

achieve more.

A. Do what you love.

B. Devote yourself to your job.

C. Humans adapt very quickly to positive events.

D. It's possible that some changes may change your feeling.

E. Similar types of people may be attracted to the same activities.

F. Try not to allow yourself to focus so much on a certain aspect of your life.

G. You may wonder how to improve yourself and fulfill your dreams in an easier way.

【题目】As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, and no cages either. It was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the rope of the same size to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away.”

The man was amazed. These animals can break free from their bonds at any time, but because they believe they can’t, they are stuck right where they are.

As is known, that it is interesting to teach child to swim while they are still babies. Most large towns in Florida and California h ad already run particularly lessons for babies. The idea has quickly spread to Europe which, in several countries, special courses are now offered children who are from 7 to 24 months old. The first step is to have the child get rid of the fear with water. Next, he is teaching to float in water. Unless he can do that naturally and can swim without fear, the child can master the technique and push him forward through water.

【题目】请阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
D
On May 18, 1969, NASA astronauts Thomas Stafford, John Young, and Eugene Cernan boarded the Apollo 10 lunar module(登月舱)---the fourth manned mission in the US Apollo Space program and only the second after Apollo 8 to circle the moon. Its mission was to circle the moon and thoroughly test the components and procedures to pave the way for the first lunar landing. The mission went perfectly without incident---at least that's what every one believed.
However, that view has changed since February 22, after NASA released a digital recording of strange music heard by the space travelers. Then as they were re-entering the zone where they could communicate with ground control. One of the astronauts asked if they should report it. In response, Stafford expressed his doubts if anyone would even believe them. But they needn't have worried. When NASA experts listened to the recordings, they thought the strange sounds were radio interference.
Michael Collins---the Apollo 11 pilot---said that the only reason why he was not shocked upon hearing them was that he had been forewarned by NASA officials. Collins also said that the music stopped as soon as the lunar module landed on the moon.
So why did it take NASA over 40 years to release the digital recording of the awful music only after it was featured in a recent television series NASA's Unexplained Files? The US Space Agency says they have not been hiding them. In the press release that accompanies the release of the recording, NASA officials state, “The Apollo 10 audio clips were uploaded in 2012, but the mission's sound recordings have been available at the National Archives for anyone that wanted to hear them since the early 1970s.”
Eugene Cernan. Apollo 10's pilot who heard the sounds first, also released a statement saying, “I don't remember that incident excited me enough to take it seriously. It was probably just radio interference. Had we thought it was something other than that, we would have briefed everyone after the flight. We never gave it another thought.”
While most people are ready to accept this logical explanation, there are some that believe otherwise. They guess the music proves the presence of aliens. Among them is Apollo 15 astronaut Al Worden, who thinks the sounds came from a source in outer space. In the episode of NASA’s Unexplained Files, which discusses the origin of the strange music, the astronaut says, “Logic tells me that if there was something recorded on there, then there was something there.”
(1)Apollo 10's mission was to________.
A.take the astronauts to the moon
B.detect alien music in outer space
C.prepare for the landing on the moon
D.move around and observe the moon
(2)When the astronauts heard the sounds, ________.
A.they were excited about the discovery
B.they reported to NASA at once
C.they were heading back to the lunar ground
D.they thought they might be of little importance
(3)According to the passage, ________.
A.the mission of Apollo 10 turned out to be unsuccessful
B.NASA made the TV series to clarify some space-related mysteries
C.Al Worden on Apollo 15 believes in aliens and logic
D.Michael Collins knew about the strange sounds before his flight
(4)What is the main idea of this passage?
A.A TV program was released about NASA’s unexplained files.
B.The music heard by Apollo astronauts could be radio interference.
C.The existence of aliens still remains a question.
D.Apollo astronauts heard strange sounds from outer space.
