    B
    Whether rich or poor, we all have problems: that unfaithful mate, that annoying colleague, that persistent(持久的) disease, and the investment that is turning into a huge loss.
    How can we remain calm, positive and even elegant in the face of all these difficulties of
    life?
    The following suggestions may help.
    It comes with the pay. I have a friend who used to complain about her dead-end job and
    unreasonable boss. Sounds familiar? One day I told her, "Look at it this way. You are getting
    paid for the annoyance as well as the work. It comes with the pay. "
    This has become my favorite saying for work-related frustrations. "Take every day as a bo-
    nus. " When we learn to treasure every moment of what we have, we begin to see life in a whole
    new attitude.
    It's all in the mind. Sure, the psychologists tell us it is important that we work at resol-
    ving problems. But they also say if you try to resolve a problem that would not go away, it would
    only compound(使更复杂) the frustration.
    If you tell yourself there isn' t a problem, there won' t be one. It is all in the mind.
    Stop thinking about your own problem-help others instead. A lady who is struggling a
    life-threatening disease showed she coped with her illness by making herself useful, by offering
    help to others in a similar situation.
    She has spoken to at least five other women with breast cancer. She says that the sharing
    has helped her to find fresh meaning in her own life.
    Never give up on your dream. Why do we give in or give up when we meet difficulities?
    ls it because we have no confidenee in our cause and no commitment (承担义务)for what we
    pursue?
    One strong-hearted lady was the late head of the tragic Kennedy family, Rose Kennedy.
    She said this on nationwide television one week after losing yet another son to assassin's( 暗杀者) bullet--Boddy Kennedy:"And we go on our way with no regrets not looking backwards to
    the past, but we shall carry on with courage. "
    Not the end of the world. Do you know something else? I' ve learned that care as you
    might, love as,you might, some people don't care back.
    And it is not the end of the world. After all, it's not the event that makes a person, is it?
    It's what we do about what happens to us.
    It was said that Albert Einstein' s last request on his death bed was to be given his equa-
    tions(方程式) and his unfinished statement. Einstein first picked up his equations and lament-
    ed(悲叹) to his son, "if only I had more mathematics!" What a great persistent spirit!
    45. All of the followings are wrong EXCEPT_____.
    A. some people have many problems while some have none
    B. Albert Einstein pursued his dream till the last minute of his life
    C. Rose Kennedy must be a timid (缺乏自信的) woman
    D. we shouldn' t love those who don' t care about us
    46. The passage is intended to inform the readers_____ .
    A. how to face problems                       B. how to resolve problems
    C. how to hold on to your dreams              D. how to help others
    47. By saying "Take every day as a bonus", the author is trying to tell us __.
    A. we should get a bonus every day     B. we should treasure every day in our life
    C. we should make advances every day  D. we should enjoy ourselves every day
    48. The last paragraph of the passage is out of place; it should be put under the subtitle of_____.
    A. It comes with the pay                      B. It' s all in the mind
    C. Never give up on your dream               D. Not the end of the world

    A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.
    By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible .
    Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test.
    The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists’ concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.   
    Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people’s success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”.
    EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one’s ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the elements for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.
    While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.
    【小题1】Which of the following is true of EQ and IQ according to the text?

    A．The higher a person’s EQ is, the higher his or her IQ is.
    B．The higher a person’s IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.
    C．Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.
    D．Scientists have already discovered the way in which EQ and IQ work together.
    【小题2】 The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means         .
    A．kindB．floatingC．excitedD．optimistic
    【小题3】What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?
    A．Information about famous people with high EQ.
    B．Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.
    C．Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.
    D．Strong demand for basic emotional education.

    Brazil is a federation that consists of twenty-six states and one federal district. The biggest majority of Brazil’s population belongs to the Christian religion and almost all of them are Catholics. This is something Brazil inherited(继承) being Portugal’s colony(殖民地).
    Historically, the country was a colony claimed by people from Portugal and this made Portuguese the official language. The Portuguese reached Brazil in 1500 and until that moment it was inhabited by semi-nomadic(半游牧的) people. The Portuguese changed Brazil into a country of slaves until 1800, when Maria I of Portugal came to live in Brazil. The Queen did not stay long in Brazil, but during the 20 years of royal presence a lot of changes occurred: commercial ports to United Kingdom were opened; Brazil stopped being isolated(孤立) from other countries. So at the moment of getting the independence on the 7th of September, 1822, Brazil already had the potential to develop. The Brazilian Empire, Pedro I, abolished slavery in 1888 in the face of Princess Isabel. A lot of European people started coming to Brazil and the industry of the country started working. In the 19th and the 20th century as it has been said above foreign people immigrated(移民) to Brazil and basically 5 million European and Japanese people became the residents of Brazil. The beginning of the 20th century was especially marked by the immigration of a lot of Asian people: Japanese, Korean and Chinese immigrants. As a matter of fact Japanese people do not immigrate a lot, and the fact that the Brazilian-Japanese people are the largest Japanese minority in the world does astonish greatly.
    The majority of the cultural inherits of Brazil are actually Portuguese, due to the fact that Brazil was Portugal’s colony for a very long time. The southern states mainly consist of European population and the north and the northeast consist of a mixed population including Africans, Amerindians and Europeans. Most of this population is Roman Catholic. No other country in the world has the same amount of Catholics. The modern tendency of Brazil is the growing number of people calling themselves Protestants. Around 7.4% of the population don’t believe any god. Some Brazilians, especially in the northern states are mixed Africans who prefer following the traditional African religions. Only 1.8% of the population chose Buddhism, Islam or Judaism.
    Though Brazil always tried to maintain democracy, it was failed several times by the dictatorship（独裁） of Getulo Vargas. This fact could not affect the political situation in the country.
    【小题1】Brazil was ruled by Portuguese about ______.

    A．22 yearsB．300 yearsC．322 yearsD．328 years
    【小题2】Who might block the development of Brazil?
    A．Maria IB．Pedro IC．immigrantsD．Getulo Vargas
    【小题3】The writer mainly tells us the ______ of Brazil in the passage.
    A．religionB．historyC．cultureD．political situation
    【小题4】Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A．Brazil was isolated from other countries when Maria I stayed there.
    B．The industry of the country started working in 1888.
    C．Brazil has the largest population of Catholics in the world.
    D．Some people in Brazil don’t believe any god.
    【小题5】It can be inferred that Brazil is a country with ________.
    A．western cultureB．modern culture
    C．traditional cultureD．mixed culture

    Joey is loyal, encouraging and self-sacrificing, always putting others’ interests ahead of his own. He is a hard worker, who also loves to run and play. In short, he’s an ideal friend and a heroic character.
    Here is the thing: Joey is a horse, who appears as the main character in Steven Spielberg’s new film War Horse.
    It is based on Michael Morpurgo’s 1982 novel, which also caused the same-titled Tony Awards winning play.
    The film follows the saga of Joey, a racehorse that’s trained for farm work under the loving care of Albert (Jeremy Irvine )after Albert’s drunk father Ted(Peter Mullan ) overpays for the animal at auction(拍卖会).
    Then the World War I tears Albert and Joey apart. Joey is sold into the war effort for the British and starts his episodic adventures in Europe.
    Splendidly staged, the battle plots in the film are visually astounding and impressive.
    And with Spielberg’s unique, top-notch direction and storytelling skills, War Horse cannot escape its episodic nature, calling to mind another Spielberg film about the horrors of war and its effects upon soldiers and civilians—Saving Private Ryan.
    While that film shocked with horrific scenes of bleeding, it relied on a company of easily-described characters and a focused storyline to present heroic themes.
    Like Saving Private Ryan, War Horse clings to a series of characters, not only Albert, but also British officers, French civilians and German soldiers, who display courage in the face of danger. Everyone who comes in contact with Joey is either already in touch with their inner angel or is quickly moved to become more humane.
    Although none of this covers the fact that we’ve seen this stuff elsewhere before, the lovely sentiment will steal your heart.
    And the emotional signature of Spielberg can be felt as he establishes the relationship between the boy and the horse and the mood of the piece – there will be tears.
    Therefore, calling this beautiful, dramatically incomplete film “ Saving Private Joey”, is entirely justifiable.
    【小题1】In common with “ Saving Private Ryan”, the film  War Horse _________ .

    A．is full of terrifying scenes of bleeding and killing
    B．received the title of Tony Awards Winning Play
    C．covers a lot of characters
    D．tells the story happening in the Second World War
    【小题2】Which statement is true according to the passage?
    A．War Horse is based on the same-titled novel by Steven Spielberg.
    B．Joey is a heroic character because he saved many people’s lives.
    C．Albert sold Joey into the war effort for Europe.
    D．Joey came to Albert’s care after Ted paid a lot of money for it.
    【小题3】According to the passage, what does the underlined word astounding mean?
    A．astonishingB．confusingC．satisfyingD．disappointing
    【小题4】What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Joey ─ a heroic race horseB．Albert and Joey
    C．Saving Private JoeyD．Spielberg’s Joey
