If a person tells you that something is “the real McCoy”,he is telling you it is the real thing,not a copy or replacement.There is nothing false about “the real McCoy”.It is the best that can be found.

    There are different ideas on how the expression came into common use.Perhaps the most popular story is about a famous boxer,Charles Kid McCoy,a one-time world famous welter-weigh champion.One day,McCoy was having a drink in a bar with a lady friend.A man came up and began to talk to her.He was not a nice man.

    McCoy wanted no trouble.He asked the man to leave.He said.“I'm Kid McCoy.”McCoy thought his name was so well-known that he didn’t need to say more.But the man did not believe him.“Oh,yeah?” he said.“Well,if you are Kid McCoy,then I am George Washington!” And he continued to speak to the prize-fighter’s friend in all unpleasant way.

    McCoy hit the man with a fist-not hard-actually it was really a light touch.But the man fell to the ground,unconscious.Ten minutes later,when he came to sense,he called out. “That was the real McCoy!” And so,as told by kid McCoy,that was how the expression “the real McCoy” got started.

    There are other versions,however.One is that the expression goes back to the days of prohibition(禁止)when it was illegal in the United States to sell whiskey.Although whiskey was against the law,many sold it.And many sold bad whiskey.They were not afraid to do so,because there was so little that anybody could do about it.Buying whiskey,good or had,was as illegal as selling it.

    But there was one whiskey dealer who was honest.His name was McCoy.He refused to sell bad whiskey.He sold  only the best imported whiskey.His product became recognized as the best.It was called “the real McCoy”.

    The expression survived prohibition days and soon became a general term.One way or another,no matter how the expression began,“the real McCoy” is an expression that everyone understands.It means the one and only—the best one.They are indeed words of special praise.

What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

    A.It is about the exact meaning of the version.

    B.It tells how a person gets his name.

    C.It shows how to tell the real from the false.

    D.It explains how to find the best.

In the third paragraph,“the prize-fighter” refers to______.

    A.a champion                   B.George Washington

    C.a fellow                     D.McCoy

Which of the following is TRUE about the days prohibition?

    A.A national law forbade the sale of alcoholic drinks.

    B.Bad whiskey was not allowed to sell.

    C.People at that time preferred nothing but whiskey.

    D.The days of prohibition resulted in MeCoy’s selling wine.

What is the main idea of the whole passage?

    A.The story of a famous boxer.

    B.The general use of the version.

    C.The expression and its story.

    D.The friendship between an athlete and a seller.

There is one type of illness in the world that affects more people than anything else and is very deadly. If untreated this illness could affect everything you do. What is this illness? Depression. Serious depression requires professional treatment. Self-induced depression is something each of us can change.

Everyone's circumstances are different, but the causes of self-induced depression are common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude.

So how can we change the way we think, feel, and cultivate a cheerful attitude?

First we must look at ourselves, truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish to achieve. If you are dissatisfied because you feel you haven't or can't do anything, then one step is needed - to set goals.

Always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain. Think of them as sand; one grain may be insignificant but as a group they form the beach. Once you have set and attained small goals for yourself, move on to slightly larger, more challenging goals.

It takes more than just setting goals to be happy. It takes positive thinking. How can we attain this?

There are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet.

In my opinion, a person who eats a lot of take out and fast food is feeding their body junk. Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals. If your physical body is happy, it's much easier for your mental body or "thinking ability" to be happy.

Next, exercise. A half-hour a day is recommended for positive well being. Then think about good memories you had, or generally think of things that make you smile. Remember, everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free. A smile can be the difference between an average day and a great day.

If you follow these steps, positive change is inevitable.

1.Which of the statements about depression is TRUE?

Depression is a kind of illness that can’t be cured like some cancer.

Depression can all be cured successfully by patients themselves.

Those who suffer from depression feel dissatisfied with themselves.

Those who suffer from depression live in similar circumstances.

2.According to the passage we can learn that ____________.

a practical goal can help people to achieve a sense of success

we shouldn’t be satisfied with small goals that are insignificant

we should avoid challenging goals that may lead to failure

people can enjoy happiness only if they set reasonable goals

3.In order to achieve positive thinking a person should do these things EXCEPT________.

A. set challenging goals              B. eat healthier foods

C. exercise half an hour a day         D. always wear a smile

4.What’s the passage mainly about?

   A. To prove the argument that depression can be changed.

   B. To analyze the danger depression can bring to people.

   C. To introduce to readers how to keep positive thinking.

   D. To recommend some ways to deal with depression.

Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life, so find something that you enjoy doing.
61. The difference between “finding a job” and “choosing a job” lies in _______.
