    For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
    Many weight－conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long－awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
    But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self－worth, and, of course, love.
    It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
    小题1:The passage tries to highlight the importance of _________.
    A．body sizeB．attitudes toward life
    C．culture differenceD．different beauty standards
    小题2:What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean?
    A．All the problems.B．All the properties.
    C．The whole world.D．The absolute truth.
    小题3:What can be inferred about the author?
    A．The author is a Samoan.
    B．The author succeeded in losing weight.
    C．The author has been troubled by her/ his weight.
    D．The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
    小题4:According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later?
    A．They feel angry about the regained weight.
    B．They are indifferent to the regained weight.
    C．They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.
    D．They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.

    How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
    Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his parents, he is not so free to do what he wishes to do. He is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
    小题1:according to the second paragraph, the writer thinks that _______.
    A．life for a child is comparatively easy
    B．a child is always loved whatever he does
    C．if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
    D．only children are interested in life
    小题2:After a child grows up, he ________.
    A．will have little time playing
    B．has to be successful in finding a job
    C．can still ask for help in time of trouble
    D．should be able to take care of himself
    小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．People are often satisfied with their life.
    B．Life is less interesting for old people.
    C．Adults are freer to do what they want to do.
    D．Adults should no longer rely on others.
    小题4:The main idea of the passage is ________.
    A．life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
    B．young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
    C．childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life
    D．one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life
    小题5:The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss _______.
    A．examples of successful young men
    B．how to build up one’s position in society
    C．joys and pains of old people
    D．what to do when one has problems in life

    John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1981. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.
    Fortunately he had a strong—willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.” She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to learn success” she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”
    These words, came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15, to Chicago.
    Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words--as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.
    While others discouraged him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by “Nothing beats a failure but a try.” She also let him pawn（典当） her furniture to get the $ 500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.  
    It is natural that difficulties and failures followed john closely until he become very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind:” Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!” Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America--worth  $150 million.
    小题1: What does the story mainly want to show us?
    A．The key to success for blacks.
    B．The mental support John’s mother gave him.
    C．The importance of a good education.
    D．How John H. Johnson became successful.
    小题2:Why did John’s mother decide to move to Chicago?
    A．Because his father died when John was very young.
    B．Because life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometown.
    C．Because John needed more education badly.
    D．Because there were no schools for Negroes in their hometown.
    小题3:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．John’s mother didn’t believe in or depend on others.
    B．John’s mother believed one would succeed without working hard.
    C．John’s mother thought one could be whatever one wanted to be.
    D．John’s mother thought no one could succeed without working hard.
    小题4:What does the underlined sentence “Nothing beats a failure but a try.” in Passage 5 mean?
    A．No failure can be beaten unless you try.
    B．If you try, you would succeed.
    C．A try is always followed by a failure.
    D．A failure is difficult to beat, even if you try.
