13.DAVID Beckham didn't make it.Cristiano Ronaldo didn't hit it so big either.But Gareth Bale,24,has become the most expensive soccer player in the history of the game.
    Four years after the arrival of Ronaldo at a record cost of 125million(765millionyuan)in2009,RealMadridisexpectedtopay135 million for Bale.But how is it that Bale,who was playing left back and being benched (当替补) by his English Premier League team a couple of years ago,now attracts such a big deal?
    As of years ago,the Welshman had played 24 matches for Tottenham Hotspur,and had never finished on the winning side once-a record for any Premier League player.Tottenham even privately considered selling him."A player who had once looked a prodigy (神童)-as a 17-year-old Southampton full back,the youngest ever international for Wales-already appeared,at 20,on the way down,"wrote Tim Adams at UK's The Observer.
    Through all the humiliations (屈辱),Bale hung on.While he was injured and kept out of games,he worked hard to reinvent himself.Bale's father Frank's uncompromising (不妥协的) discipline had a great impact on his son.
    When he returned from injury later that season,Bale had been transformed in the gym.In a Champions League match in 2010,he established himself as the so-called"Incredi-Bale"overnight throughout Europe.With his team four goals behind to Inter Milan at halftime,Bale surprisingly scored a hat-trick before the game was over.Even former Manchester United coach,Alex Ferguson,praised him:"He had been a six-foot,gangly (瘦长的),slim boy; then all of a sudden he was built like a light heavyweight boxer."
    With Bale's help,Tottenham are flying high in the league.In the 2012-13 season,he won all three of t he important individual awards:the PFA (Professional Footballers'Association) Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards and the Football Writers'Association Footballer of the Year award.
    This has all led to people comparing him to Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Ronaldo,who are widely regarded as the two best players in the world.
    Former Madrid star Zinedine Zidane has even decided to mentor (指导) Bale."He's perhaps not quite at the level of the other two,but he's different,"Zidane told ESPN."So personally I don't think he's far off."

3.When something goes wrong,it can be very satisfying to say,"Well,it's so-and-so's fault."or"I know I'm late,but it's not my fault; the car broke down."It is probably not your fault,but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser.You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation.However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation.This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems.For example,if you were late because your car broke down,maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly.Or,you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers,so you could call for help when in need.For another example,if your colleague causes you problems on the job for l ack of responsibility or ability,find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person.Ask to work with a different person,or don't rely on this person.You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
     This is what being a winner is all ab out-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens.Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else.They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents.So,stop focusing on"whose fault it is."Once you are confident about your power over bad situations,problems are just stepping stones for success.

4.Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthy lifestyle.Group exercise is challenging,yet fun and empowering!Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body.However,studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups,it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health.It's an opportunity to be social,release endorphins(内啡肽),and improve your strength.Additionally,group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard.The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.
Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor.Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves.If you feel you can relate,then group training is an even better option for you.It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (监管) of a fitness instructor.If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored,you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track.Don't letfitness frighten you!
If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle,it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support.I wouldn't scold anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health.Surround yourself with people who uplift,encourage and understand you!Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class,with a friend.Plan to go for a jog together.Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar!Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals.First,decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive.Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are supportive.Don't let negativity ruin your motivation.

72.The first paragraph focuses onC.
A.the greatest challenge of group exercise
B.the most effective way to improve physical fitness
C.the contribution of group exercise to psychological health
D.the shared common goal in performing exercise in groups
73.The underlined word"upbeat"in the second paragraph probably means"A".

4.The technology is great.Without it we wouldn't have been able to put a man on the moon,explore the ocean's depths or eat microwave sausages.Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge.But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves.
  Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who've come into their surgery waving an Internet print-out,convinced that they have some rare incurable disease,say,throat cancer.The truth is usually far more ordinary,though:they don't have throat cancer,and it's just that their throats are swollen.Being a graduate of the Internet"school"of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-checks.
  One day Mrs.Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work.While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong,she said calmly,"I know what's wrong; I've got throat cancer.I know there's nothing you doctors can do about it and I've just got to wait until the day comes."
  As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray.I looked at it and the blood results an hour later.Something wasn't right."Did your local doctor do an X-ray?"I asked."Oh,I haven't been to the doctor for years,"she replied."I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted,so I knew that's what I had."
  However,some of her symptoms,like the severe cough and weight loss,didn't fit with it-but she'd just ignored this.
  I looked at the X-ray again,and more tests confirmed it wasn't the cancer but tuberculosis (肺结核)-something that most certainly did need treating,and could be deadly.She was lucky we caught it when we did.
  Mrs.Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered.It was certainly a lesson for her."I'm so embarrassed,"she said,shaking her head,as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested.She listed up to about 20,and then I went to my office to type up my notes.Unexpectedly,the computer was not working,so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it.Typical.Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?

63.Mrs.Almond talked about her illness calmly becauseA
A.she thought she knew it well                            
B.she had purchased medicine online
C.she graduated from a medical school                 
D.she had been treated by local doctors
64.It was lucky for Mrs.AlmondD
A.to have contacted many friends                          
B.to have recovered in a short time
C.to have her assumption confirmed                          
D.to have her disease identified in time
65.Mrs.Almond said"I'm so embarrassed"(Para.7)becauseB
A.she had distrusted her close friends                        
B.she had caused unnecessary trouble
C.she had to refuse the doctor's advice                      
D.she had to tell the truth to the doctor
66.By mentioning the breakdown of the computer,the author probably wants to proveC
A.it's a must to take a break at work                    
B.it's vital to believe in IT professionals
C.it's unwise to simply rely on technology            
D.it's a danger to work long hours on computers.

5.One day,I explored the town's abandoned round grain barn(谷仓)when I was at the age of 11.I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.
Inside,there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark.After my eyes adjusted,I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn.On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.
I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft,but stopped halfway.After a brief panic attack,I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals,forming a ladder.For reasons known only to an 11-year-old,I decided it would be better to go up than down.So,with shaking hands,I began climbing the wall.
After what seemed like forever,I reached the top of the shaft.I stood up,dusted myself off and found absolutely nothing of interest.It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof.I climbed all the way up here for this?Then I noticed a fire extinguisher(灭火器),which I'd always wanted to shoot off.So this was the chance of a lifetime.I tried it,and,much to my surprise,the thing worked!It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room.I couldn't breathe.I was going to choke to death,and they'd probably never even find my body.
Luckily,I remembered the ladder to the roof.I climbed up,popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.
I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention.So when the dust had settled,I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door.I'm not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught,but I ran all the way back home.
56.When the author got inside the barn,heC.
A.opened the chained sliding door             
B.noticed a man on the elevator
C.found a shaft leading to the top            
D.saw many dead mice in the dark
57.Which of the following is the right order of the author's adventure?B
a.The elevator stopped halfway.b.He entered the round grain barn.
c.He climbed to the top of the shaft.d.He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.
A.a-c-b-d          B.b-a-c-d              C.b-c-a-d              D.c-a-d-b
58.After getting out of the chained door,the author might feelD
A.surprised            B.disappointed         C.inspired             D.relieved
59.From the passage,we can learn that the author was probably a boy full ofAA.curiosity            B.imagination         C.passions        D.dreams.
