【题目】How can I fight laziness?

Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.

1Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.

Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 2

Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child to promote responsibility. 3

4 Spouses and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. To fight household laziness, lead by example. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when your are surrounded by motivated people.

5 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

A. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.

B. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.

C. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.

D. Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy , such as a good dinner or a film.

E. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.

F. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.

G. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.

【题目】People are seeking for opportunities that will assist them in reaching their goals. Marketing yourself can be a good choice, which can help you achieve your goals. Though when people talk about marketing, they usually think that this is about producing a sale, it does not necessarily have to be.

If you are an employee then you want your boss to take your ideas, and if you are on a job hunting then you want to find a good position. So in reality, marketing really leads to sale. So marketing yourself means you are simply “selling” yourself!

The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is unpleasant to market themselves. They think that marketing concerns only to a business. Of course, this is absolutely not true. People who want to attain the success they desire must promote themselves.

Marketing yourself is a useful tool. The better you market yourself, the more opportunities you will have. Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are. It means letting your prospective employer know that you exist or you can do something better.

There are actually several different ways of marketing yourself. But there are only two primary ways that you carry out. The first is to find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct ways in order for the people to find you and make connection with you.

To reach out and touch the lives of others, you have to be a good person and a good employee. In that way your good reputation will follow naturally. Have a brief and concise message that you can share with others. When you market yourself, you tell people who you are and what you can do for others. Plan well and practice your message.

In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you, you must be open to them. Communication is a great opportunity to make an impact especially when you market yourself. You also communicate by what you are wearing. Know the appropriate dress code and have plenty of time to decide what you will wear. Just remember to make a great first impression!

1What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Marketing yourself is a business.

B. The subject of marketing yourself.

C. The ways of marketing yourself.

D. The problems of marketing yourself.

2According to the passage, as to marketing themselves, most people tend to feel ______.

A. confident B. cheerful

C. terrible D. appropriate

3In order to market yourself well, you can do these things EXCEPT ______.

A. be open to others B. praise yourself

C. wear appropriately D. have a brief and clear message

4From the passage, we can infer that people good at marketing themselves must be______.

A. communicative B. humorous

C. hardworking D. beautiful

【题目】阅读下列短文,然后按要求写作

Euthanasia, also known as mercy killing or assisted suicide, refers to the practice of ending a person's life in a painless manner, often to relieve intractable suffering.

Euthanasia is illegal in China, and debate about whether to allow the practice has raged since the country's first reported mercy killing in the 1980s.

The case involved Wang Mingcheng, then aged 32, of Shaanxi province, and physician Pu Liansheng, who were convicted of the murder of Wang's mother, Xia Suwen, in1987.

Xia had been diagnosed with terminal severe liver cirrhosis and ascites. Wang pleaded with doctors that his mother be given a lethal injection.

In 1988, the National People's Congress (NPC) deputy Yan Renying called for euthanasia to be legalized in the 7th NPC.

According to a poll conducted by Shaohai Market Investigation Co Ltd in 2003, 64.8 percent of Beijing respondents believed the practice should be legal.

Chen Xingliang, a professor at the Peking University School of Law, said now is not yet the right time to legalize euthanasia in China.

"At the moment, it's hard to identify under what conditions euthanasia should be adopted," he said, adding that, once legalized, euthanasia could be abused as a means of murder.

【题目】In Spain, there are as many gazpachos (西班牙冷汤菜)as there are Spanish people. Every family here has its own recipe with its own little changes.

I much prefer gazpacho mil do in a food mill,as that: allows tor some texture (口感),and that is the way it was made when I was young, Nowadays it is done in a blender, an electric machine tor mixing soft foods mil liquid together, but it does not torn out exactly the same. Machine-blended gazpacho with bread and olive oil is more like a salmorejo (chilled tomato soup) , but without that soup’s creamy smoothness.

Although tomatoes and peppers arrived on our tables by the 16th century, red gazpachos that mod them did not become popular until the 19th century. Big landowner families that had a lot of country employees generally had a “gazpachero”, a man who would prepare gazpacho for the peasants working on their estates. These men made gazpacho by pounding the vegetable mixture in an olive wood bowl, as in a mortar. They were very patients,as it took quite some time.

The main difference between gazpacho and some of its variations lies in texture and emulsion (乳状液).In a classic Spanish gazpacho,olive oil is simply stirred

in at the end; in salmorejo, porra and other soups? the olive oil is emulsified, resulting in rd brighter orange colour and a smooth, creamy texture. Pipirrana's components are the same as those in gazpacho,but they arc cut into pieces; with the addition of a little water or ice cubes,it turns into a liquid salad,and the bread is served separately ,for dipping.

Gazpacho is a sophisticated (复杂的)dish that takes to a multitude of variations. But with all its versatility (易变),it still requires a certain balance of components. In particular, too much vinegar or garlic can ruin it

Here in Spain,gazpacho can be a drink,a a dip,a sauce or seasoning, a starter* a main dish,even a dessert. It is eaten at any time ot the day and at any time during a meal. Nothing is more delicious than a piece of toast with a little gazpacho or salmorejo for breakfast! Gazpacho goes well with almost everything but is difficult to pair with wine. The best wines to drink with gazpacho are sherries (fortified wines from Jerez) and whites.

1Which of the following opinions can you infer the writer is in favour of?

A. No other food in the world is more delicious than gazpachos.

B. A new technique does not necessarily mean an improvement,

C. You cannot make any real achievement without a big dream.

D. A recipe is the crucial factor in whether a dish will be popular.

2Which of the following can Ix? TRUE to the fact?

A. Gazpachos have a sour taste,

B. Gazpachos me unhealthy food.

C. Gazpachos started in the 16th century.

D. Gazpachos are nothing but a popular dish.

3What is the writer's purpose of writing the passage?

A. To introduce gazpachos to the readers.

B. To show ways of preparing gnzpachos.

C. To explain why gazpachos are popular.

D. To urge people to eat more gazpachos.
