In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank．He got into a life boat, but his supplies were 21 ．His chances of surviving were small． 22 when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive —much 23 than he was when he started, but alive．
His 24 of how he survived is fascinating．His cleverness —how he 25 to catch fish, how he evaporated（蒸发） sea water to 26 fresh water—is very interesting．
But the thing that 27 my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no 28 in continuing the struggle．He was starved and 29 worn-out．Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice．
When people 30 these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going．Many people in 31 desperate circumstances 32 in or go mad．Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on 33 difficulties．
"I tell myself I can 34 it, “wrote Callahan in his book. -Compared to what others have been through, I'm fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over, 35 up courage...
I wrote that down after I read it. It 36 me as something important. And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed 37 off or when my problems seemed too terrible. And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my 38 .
The truth is,our circumstances are only bad 39 to something better. But others have been through the much worse; that is, in comparison with what others have been through,you’re fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you 40 through the rough
situations with a little more courage.

Extreme sports and the movie Lord of the Rings are the two things that come to mind when one talks abut New Zealand today. But for wine lovers across the world, New Zealand has a completely different meaning.
It’s a long narrow country, but its vineyards (葡萄园)are mostly around three regions, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay and Marlborough.
It was not until the 1980s that New Zealand wines drew the attention of the world with what is now a fashionable classic wine: Cloudy Bay. It was snapped up as it appeared on wine menus in Hong Kong restaurants during the early 1990s. This success was followed by the growing popularity of a wide range of wines from other New Zealand estates(庄园)such as Esk Vally, Villa Maria and Grove Mill. Since then, several other wine growing regions in other countries have tried to copy the New Zealand style without much success.
The New Zealanders were good at white wines right from their early days, but their red wines, too, were catching the fancy of the drinking public. One example of just how fast and sure that happened is Goldwater Estate in Waiheke Island. The little island, which is just a 35-minute ferry ride from Auckland, had only 13 wineries ten years ago. Kim and Jeanette Goldwater set it up as the Goldwater holiday home, with wine making as a hobby, in 1982. But demand soon made them turn that hobby into a business.
Encouraged by family and friends, they decided to take their wine production a step further and entered the commercial market. In 1991, they took their wines to the International Wine Competition in New York and won a Gold Medal.
67. What does the author mean by saying “But for wine lovers across the world, New Zealand has a completely different meaning” in Paragraph I ?
A．New Zealand today is different from what it was in the past.
B．Different people have different opinions on New Zealand’s sports and films.
C．New Zealand is famous for good wines to wine lovers in the world.
D．New Zealand is well known for is sports and movies.
68. Goldwater Estate in Waiheke Island is given as an example show that________.
A．Goldwater Estate is not very far from Auckland
B．Goldwater won great success as a holiday home to New Zealanders
C．the red wines of the New Zealanders are on their way to success
D．encouragement from family and friends can lead to gold medals
69. The underlined phrase “snapped up” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “________”
A．refused B．removed C．sold out D．wiped out
70. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Vineyards can be seen everywhere across the long narrow country.
B．New Zealand wines first won their place in the world with Cloudy Bay.
C．Kim and Jeanette Goldwater took wine making as a hobby at first.
D．Wine production from Goldwater was popular with the drinking public.

Romanian-born German writer Herta Mueller won the 2009 Nobel Prize in literature yesterday, honored for work that "with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, describes the landscape of the dispossessed(被流放者)," the Swedish Academy said.
The 56-year-old author, who immigrated to Germany from Romania in 1987, first gained public attention in 1982 with a collection of short stories titled Niederungen, or Lowlands in English, which was promptly censored(审查通过) by her government.
In 1984 an uncensored version was smuggled to Germany where it was published and her work describing life in a small, German-speaking village in Romania was popular with the readers there. That work was followed by Oppressive Tango in Romania.
"The Romanian national press was very critical of these works while, outside of Romania, the German press received them very positively," the Academy said. "Because Mueller had publicly criticized the dictatorship(独裁) in Romania, she was prohibited from publishing in her own country.” In 1987 she immigrated to Germany with her husband two years before dictator Nicolae Ceausescu was toppled from power.
Mueller's parents were members of the German-speaking minority in Romania and father served in the Waffen SS during World War II. After the war ended, many German Romanians were deported(放逐) to the Soviet Union in 1945, including her mother, who spent five years in a work camp in what is now Ukraine.
Most of her works are in German, but some works have been translated into English, French and Spanish, including The Passport, The Land of Green Plums, Traveling on One Leg and The Appointment.
Mueller has given guest lectures at universities, colleges and other venues in Paderborn, Warwick, Hamburg, Swansea, Gainsville (Florida), Kassel, Gottingen, Tubingen and Zurich among other places. She lives in Berlin. Since 1995 she has served as a member of Deutsche Akademie fur Sprache und Dichtung, in Darmstadt."
Mueller is the 12th woman to win the literature prize. Recent female winners include Austria's Elfriede Jelinek in 2004 and British writer Doris Lessing in 2007.
The award includes a $1.4 million prize and will be handed out on December 10

The following are four books that will help you change your mind and change your life.
1) You Can Heal Your Life, Louise Hay: A groundbreaking book when it was released in 1982. It is still the book that I turn to when I have physical unrest that requires deeper understanding. Louise Hay is the pioneer in looking at the connection between the physical unrest that we have in our body and the emotional connection. At the time that she wrote the book many people scoffed at this idea, but it is now widely accepted and millions of people refer to it on a daily basis.
2) The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz: Maintaining a sense of reliability and faith is developed through understanding to The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz written in 1997. We are faced with rules and regulations; don’t do this, don’t do that, watch what you are doing, be kind, loyal, faithful etc. The four agreements represent a simple system of maintaining your own inner authority while practicing being a true person with other people.
3) Slowing Down to the Speed of Life, Richard Carlson and Joseph Bailey: This is a new one in my “bedside collection” and one that has made the biggest impact on me lately. Written in 1997, it is even more relevant today than it was when it was written. The idea of “slowing down” to get there faster was extremely hard for me to understand. As a human species we seem to enjoy moving fast and expecting quick results, especially from ourselves. I should be successful now, I should be slim now, get me to my destination now—in contrast to “in the fullness of time” when I am ready.
4) The Game of Life and How to Play It, Florence Scovel-Shinn: A classic book that was first published in 1925 and remains one of my favorite books of all time. Scovel-Shinn understood the power of our words to express either our deepest desires or our most horrible nightmares.
So where does this leave you? The way I see it is if you want to ‘Heal Your Life” then you had better learn how to play “The Game of Life” by learning how to “Slow Down to the Speed of Life” and keep the “Four Agreements”. The solution may not be easy to do but it is simple. In fact, most solutions are pretty simple, and it is us humans that want to complicate it.
1.According to the author, people who are lacking in personal freedom should read______.
A. You Can Heal Your Life
B. The Four Agreements
C. Slowing Down to the Speed of Life
D. The Game of Life and How to Play It
2.Which of the following books did the author read most recently?
A. Slowing Down to the Speed of Life
B. The Four Agreements
C. You Can Heal Your Life
D. The Game of Life and How to Play It
3.In which part of a magazine would you probably find this passage?
A. Arts & Entertainment B. Reference & Education
C. Book Reviews D. Self Improvement
4. In the author’s opinion, the four books _______.
A. offer four ways to change our life and mind B. represent four stages of life
C. represent four attitudes D. tell us four interesting stories
