As I got up today, I smelt fresh coffee. I woke up to   36   a cup of it with some biscuits on my bedside table. This reminded me of   37  , the old school and college days, when mom used to wake me up by serving a   38   cup of coffee. The taste is still so   39   in my memories.
A   40    thought hit me, “I was in bed, so who prepared this coffee for me? Is it a dream?”
I pinched(掐)myself, ouch… that hurt, which meant I was not   41  . I walked out of the room with the cup of coffee,   42   my roommate. I asked him whether he prepared that for me, and the answer was YES.
I was relaxed   43   somehow my heart wanted him to say NO, because I wanted to be in a   44   that my mom prepared it for me. The whole   45   reminded me of mom and I   46   her at that moment.
On my way to my office, I was thinking about those days when mom used to cook my   47  meal. I could not   48   any single day when I slept without food. But now, I no longer   49  the food mom cooked.
This very thought   50   tears to my eyes and I decided to call up mom. I reached the office and gave her a call.
The first thing she asked was, “Is everything all right?” I was   51  . And I thought, “How the time has   52  ”.
When I was with her, I used to call her after every hour when I was out with my friends. In those days she   53   asked me what was wrong, as she knew that it was my habit. My call at this point of the day to her meant that I was in   54  .
Time has changed, she is still the same, and it is   55   who have changed.

When my oldest son was in high school, he planned to attend a Christian contemporary concert with the youth group from our church.

Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But,     , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often   
  the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business— 
      that the customer remains a customer.
    to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing     , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.
Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the     
implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big   
  in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to      increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.
In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and      never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in   
  profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).
The logic behind cultivating customer      is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to      them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.      customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price     , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it   
    for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.

In the 1880s, people drank John Pemberton’s tonic to cure headaches. It wasn’t a very popular drink, and he sold only about a dozen drinks a day. That’s why Pemberton was willing to sell the rights to his medicinal drink. The buyer, Asa Griggs Candler, paid just $ 2,300 for the rights to Coca-Cola. Today, Coca-Cola (or Coke) is worth billions of dollars. It controls 50 percent of the world market in soft drinks.
How did Coca-Cola become so popular? One answer is that Asa Candler was a very clever businessman. He was one of the first people to use mass marketing. How did he do this? First, he made his product unique. When he bought the rights to Coca-Cola, it came in ordinary bottles. It looked like every other drink on the market. To make Coca-Cola look different, Candler modernized the bottles. He also made an eye-catching logo for his products. When other companies tried to imitate Coca-Colas name, Candler took them to court.
In addition to the unique bottle and logo, Candler spent a lot of time and money advertising his product. He used advertising to make a powerful image of Coca-Cola in the minds of his customers. He gave away free bottles of Coke. He put the name of his drink on pencils, trays, Japanese fans, matches, and many other things. Then he gave the things to people for free. He advertised Coca-Cola in the newspaper and painted the words “Drink Coca-Cola” on the sides of buildings and barns. By 1902, Coca-Cola was the best known product in the United States.
Candler was also able to make memorable advertisements. They often had catchy slogans such as “The Pause That Refreshes.” He also used famous athletes to advertise his product. They helped people to think of Coca-Cola as a delicious drink for everyone.
Today, businesses all over the world use mass marketing, but the makers of Coke were the first.

The Golden Gate Bridge, the first sight for many people arriving in the United States by ship, is a well-recognized landmark, which spans(横跨) the Golden Gate Strait.
The idea for a bridge across the strait had been around for many years, but it was not easy to get the project started. The construction of the bridge finally began in 1933. The construction work set new standards for safety----workers were among the first required to wear hard hats, and an innovative(革新的) safety net saved the lives of nineteen men while the bridge was built. The Golden Gate Bridge was completed in 1937, which was finished ahead of schedule.
Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer in charge of the bridge project. However, he had little experience with the construction of suspension(悬浮)bridges. For this reason, other engineers, architects, and designers made great contributions to the design and construction of the bridge. For example, the bridge owes its art style and unique orange color to the architects Irving and Gertrude Morrow. Charles Alton Ellis was the main engineer on the project and did much of the technical work necessary to build the bridge.
Today, the Golden Gate Bridge has a main span of 4,200 feet and a total length of 8,981 feet, making it one of the longest bridges in the world. The bridge is 90 feet wide, and its span is 220 feet above the water. The towers supporting the huge cables (巨缆) rise 746 feet above the waters of the Golden Gate Strait, making them 191 feet taller than the Washington Monument. About 40 million cars cross the bridge every year. There are foghorns(雾角)to let passing ships know where the bridge is, and aircraft beacons(信号灯)on the tops of the towers to stop planes from crashing into them.
小题1:The purpose of the passage is to _______.
A.describe the construction work of the Golden Gate Bridge
B.introduce the Golden Gate Bridge
C.tell us the history of the Golden Gate Bridge
D.introduce the engineers in charge of the Golden Gate Bridge
小题2:Safety innovations during the construction of the bridge included ________.
A.hardhats and a safety netB.aircraft beacons
C.foghornsD.all of the above
小题3: It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A.Joseph Strauss was skilled in the construction of suspension bridges
B.it took the construction workers three years to build the Golden Gate Bridge
C.about 100 thousand cars cross the Golden Gate Bridge every day
D.the Golden Gate Bridge is the longest bridge in the world
小题4:The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A.towersB.cablesC.watersD.bridges

To be able to motivate oneself, or self-motivate, occurs when a person has the willingness to do something and is internally(内在地) motivated to do it.
Sometimes it’s very difficult to get ourselves moving.The natural tendency is to postpone.Life just seems to get in the way! There is a job to go to, groceries to do, television to watch—whoops! I guess we get pretty good at finding excuses to escape getting started on goals like an exercise routine or reading a new book.The fact is that we are creatures of routine and habit.So what can we do to motivate ourselves to accomplish our goals? 
Here are some tips on how to get moving:
Decide what you want.It’s hard to motivate an aimless mind.Set a goal and decide how you are going to go about it.Then break it down into smaller sections so it’s easier to handle and less overwhelming.(势不可挡)
Keep track of your progress.Keep a log or journal where you can measure how much you have accomplished.Looking at it can also motivate you to keep pushing ahead.
Post motivating pictures or slogans within your sight.It is always inspiring to see pictures of people who have accomplished what you’re going for.It makes it attainable and realistic.Likewise, little slogans like “go for it” or “just do it” can give you the little support you need.    
Sometimes we forget what we set out to do and a little reminder is all we need to be revitalized (激活) and focus on the end result.If you remind yourself to go for the desired promotion, it will re-establish why you are doing what you’re doing.
Make it a habit.Once you have accomplished your objective, e.g.becoming an early riser, keep it up so that it’s second nature to you and you don’t have to think about it anymore.
小题1:According to the author, some people fail to achieve their goals because ________.
A.they don’t have enough desire
B.their life is filled with routine work
C.they benefit from the force of habit
D.they naturally put off forming new habits
小题2:It can be inferred from the underlined sentence that ________.
A.self-motivation needs repeated self-reminding of one’s goal
B.in modern society people tend to become forgetful
C.when we forget our goal, our life becomes meaningless
D.we can achieve our goal only by focusing on the end result
小题3:To get moving on your goal, you can do the following EXCEPT ________.
A.keep a diary to clearly judge your distance to your goal
B.make self-improvement your second nature
C.forget your aim and revitalize yourself with slogans
D.support yourself by hanging inspiring pictures in your house
小题4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Set Goals in Your LifeB.Get Yourself Motivated
C.Get into Good HabitsD.Do Not Postpone

A rat looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package. What food might it contain? He was alarmed to discover that it was a rat trap (捕鼠夹).
Going back to the farmyard the rat gave a warning: “There is a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!” The chicken raised her head and said: “Excuse me, Mr Rat, I can tell this is a big concern to you, but it is of no business to me. I cannot be bothered with it.”
The rat turned to the pig and told him: “There is a rat trap in the house, a rat trap in the house!”“I am so very sorry, Mr. Rat,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. I will make sure that you are in my prayers.”
The rat turned to the cow. She said, “Like wow, Mr. Rat. A rat trap. I am in grave danger. Duh?”
So the rat returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s rat trap alone.
That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a rat trap catching its prey (猎物). The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was a poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife.
The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet (短柄斧) to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient.
His wife’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them the farmer killed the pig.
The farmer’s wife did not get well. She died, and so many people came for her funeral that the farmer had the cow killed to provide meat for all of them to eat.
So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when there is a rat trap in the house, the whole farmyard is at risk.
