How Do People Plan Their Life?

　　The story of King Midas is not true. No man could really touch the things around him and make them turn to gold．It could be wonderful if we could turn things into gold as in the story. But the “magic touch”, the life without work is seldom part of life in an everyday world．

　　It costs money to do the things you want to do and to buy the things you want to buy. In order to give a present for a birthday you must first earn the money before you have any to spend．Your home, your food, and your clothes are basic needs. Everyone needs these three things. Many other things we want are really luxuries. Basic needs and luxuries together form our standard (标准) of living. Many of the things we feel we “need” in our homes would be regarded as luxuries to other people in other parts of the world．

　　Have you ever helped plan a family budget (预算)? If you know you have to balance the whole money the family have earned, you should pay for gas, electricity, water and your house. You should also plan for holidays and other special uses. At the same time you should have some of your money to be saved．

　　How people earn their money and how they spend their money is an important aspect of the study of economies.

(1)________ in the story of King Midas.

[　　]

A．Nobody could turn things into gold

B．Things could be turned into gold

C．Nothing could be turned into gold

D．No man could really touch gold

(2)The “magic touch” in the sentence means ________.

[　　]

A．a special touch

B．hard work

C．making a riving by hard work

D．living a rich life without doing any work

(3)You can do what you want to do by first ________.

[　　]

A．earning the money you need

B．spending your money

C．buying everything you want

D．giving presents to others

(4)A family budget includes (包括) ________.

[　　]

A．gas, electricity, water and house

B．food, clothes, house and holidays

C．the money your family earn and the money your family spend for all the things needed

D．everything your family need in daily life

(5)You should ________ when you are planning your family budget.

[　　]

A．spend all your money

B．save some of your money

C．earn a lot money

D．pay for everything

答案：B;D;A;C;B
解析：

(1) B 第一段第一句话讲“King Midas的故事不是真的.没有人能将他身边触摸到东西的变成金子”，所以我们可知在King Midas的故事中各种东西都会变成金子.

(2) D 题意为“神奇的触摸的意思是……”，从第一段可知，在其故事中，只要摸一下周围的事物，它们就能变成金子，所以其含义为“过富有的生活而不用付出努力”，即为D项.

(3) A 第二段中讲“为了给别人送一份生日礼物你必须先挣够钱”，由此推断，在你想你想做的事情之前必须“挣你所需的钱”.

(4) C 题意为“家庭预算包括……”，第三段中讲你必须使家庭的收支平衡，计算收入了多少，要支出多少，这便是C项内容.

(5) B 第三段最后一句讲，在做预算的同时，你还得节约使用你挣的钱，故选B项.

How to beat nerves

　　Do you blank out, freeze up(呆住)or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just last night?

　　If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety．

　　But, don’t panic．By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overcoming it．

　　Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly．This is because under stress, the body releases the hormone adrenaline(肾上腺素), which prepares it for something important that will happen．However, too much anxiety can result in sleeplessness, loss of appetite before tests, and poor performance．Some people might feel shaky(weak), hot, or even sick．

　　If you worry a lot or are a perfectionist, you are more likely to have trouble with test anxiety．Those who have prepared poorly for a test or have had negative experiences taking tests may also experience test anxiety．

　　When you feel a storm of anxiety coming on, stop what you're doing and make your mind a blank．If possible, actually tell yourself to ‘STOP!’ This will get your mind off the stress．Then think of being at a place of comfort and let your body relax．As you continue the test, find questions you know the answers to and answer them first．This will help restore your confidence．

　　Talk to yourself using positive language．Make it a habit to replace each negative thought with a logical reason．For example：“I've studied hard and I know the material, so I’m ready to do the best I can．”Another thing you can do is to learn to accept mistakes．In fact, they can be valuable learning opportunities．

　　Last but not least, start test preparation early three to five days ahead of the quiz or test．After all, good study habits and skills．for example, time management and note-taking will give you the feeling that you are in control．

(1)

The main purpose of the passage is to ________．
[　　]

[　　]
A．	are no longer sure of yourself and cannot think clearly
B．	develop negative thoughts about yourself in everyday life
C．	feel so nervous that you can’t sleep before the test
D．	feel anxious in the exam and always fail in exams

(3)

The phrase“last but not least”at the last paragraph means ________．
[　　]
A．	the last but actually there are more
B．	the last in order and importance
C．	the last but as important as others
D．	the last but the most important

How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feeling

　　Architects have long had the feeling that the place we live in can affect our thoughts, feeling and behaviors．But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(经验的，实证的)basis．They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation．

　　Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity．In 2009, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think．Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections．Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook．

　　In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate．Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention．

　　Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C．Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia．Tanner and his team found that higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots．

　　Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim(暗淡的)light helps people to loosen up．If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner, or at parties could increase relaxation．Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax．

　　So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings．“We have a very limited number of studies, so we are almost looking at the problem through a straw(吸管)”architect David Allison says;“How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalize use of them?”That is what we are all struggling with”

(1)

What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?
[　　]
A．	Light
B．	Ceilings．
C．	Windows．
D．	Furniture

(2)

The passage tells us that ________．
[　　]
A．	the shape of furniture may affect people’s feelings
B．	lower ceilings may help improve students’creativity
C．	children in a dim classroom may improve their grades
D．	students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed

(3)

The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean that ________．
[　　]
A．	the problem is not approached step by step
B．	the researches so far have faults in themselves
C．	the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect
D．	research in this area is not enough to make generalized pattems

(4)

Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?________

      How do you repair a broken friendship?I'll give you several tips below.
      To begin with,a real friend is a treasure (财富)．You don't throw a friend away because your feelings got hurt or you are unwilling to discuss a misunderstanding.Don't let senselss things destroy your friendship.To me,if it's worth the fight,it is worth the sacrifice (牺牲)．If you can't sacrifice to keep the friendship,
then maybe it isn't true friendship.
      Be willing to apologize even if the problem isn't your fault.The friendship is larger than who is at fault.If you can heal the friendship with an apology,then do so.Don't wait for your friends to realize how wrong
they are,or even to admit their share of guilt.Go to them.Make the first move.Raise the white flag first.
However you want to look at it,be willing to do what it may take to heal the relationship.Many friendships stay wounded or destroyed because both waited for the other to make the first move and neither did.
      Remind each other that the friendship is more important.A simple reminder of how special the
friendship is will go a long way to soften a hard heart.Be willing to take the higher ground.I have a policy in my marriage that if there is a disagreement in values,we always take the higher one.If you can't come up to your friend's level,you will begin to estrange him.I feel that the friendship is more important than my
personal position.The higher ground is always safer anyway.

     How to improve my life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them.
They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it. "
     Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other
external factors.
     I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she
can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back
home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle
follows.
      Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in
her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God
wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share
of exerting (运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.
     Remember that you reap what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall
from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the
phone. Don't expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong,
don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of
the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively: you also have to
act positively.
     If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course
not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to
hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit ) there, do
something to improve your life.

1. According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life ________.

A. doesn't need improving
B. couldn't be improved
C. will be better some day
D. will be worse in the future

2. What does the author think of the woman's life?

A. Positive.
B. Satisfying.
C. Colorful.
D. Passive.

3. Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?

A. Your temporary problem is not discouraging.
B. Your luck can be changed by your efforts.
C. You can only achieve success when God wills it.
D. You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.

4. In Para. 5, the author emphasized the importance of ________.

A. positive action
B. positive thinking
C. hope for the best
D. intention to succeed

5. The text is mainly written to advise you to ________.

A. understand yourself
B. improve your life
C. believe in yourself
D. change your normal way
