    13．When I was 17，I read a quote that went something like："If you live each day as if it were your last，someday you'll most certainly be right．"It made an impression on me，and since then，for the past 33years，I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself，"If today were the last day of my life，would I want to do what I am about to do today？"
    Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choice in life．
    About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer．The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable，and that I would live no longer than three to six months．My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order，which is my doctors'code for preparing yourself to die．
    I lived with that diagnosis all day．I was completely in despair．Later that evening，I had another examination and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery．I had the surgery and I'm fine now．
    This was the closest I've been to facing death．To tell the truth，no one wants to die．And yet death is the destination we all share．No one has ever escaped it．It clears out the old to make room for the new．Right now the new is you，but someday not too long from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away．
    Your time is so limited that you shouldn't waste it repeating someone else's life．Don't be trapped by dogma（教条）-which is living with the results of other people's thinking．Don't let the noise of others'opinions drown out your own inner voice．And most importantly，have the courage to follow your heart．It somehow already knows what you truly want to become．Everything else is secondary．
    40．What does the author think of death？A
    A．He thinks it is impossible to avoid．
    B．He thinks it is not the end of life．
    C．He thinks it is nothing to be scared of．
    D．He thinks it is the beginning of a new life．
    41．In the author's opinion，we shouldD．
    A．follow others'advice
    B．take no notice of diseases
    C．take exercise and keep healthy
    D．have the courage to follow our heart
    42．What does the underlined word in paragraph 3mean？A
    A．came acrossB．dealt with
    C．survived    D．Supported．

    分析 苹果公司CEO乔布斯在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的节选部分．主要内容是：乔布斯认为"记住你即将死去"是他一生中遇到的最重要箴言．人们的时间有限，所以不要将它们浪费在重复其他人的生活上．不要被其他人喧嚣的观点掩盖你真正的内心的声音．要有勇气去听从直觉和心灵的指示．

    解答 40．A．推理判断题．由第五段To tell the truth，no one wants to die．And yet death is the destination we all share．No one has ever escaped it可知，作者认为没有人愿意死，但是死亡是我们每个人共同的终点，从来没有人能够逃脱它．故选A．
    41．D．推理判断题．最后一段中，作者提到：人们的时间有限，所以不要将它们浪费在重复其他人的生活上．不要被其他人喧嚣的观点掩盖你真正的内心的声音．要有勇气去听从直觉和心灵的指示--它们在某种程度上知道你想要成为什么样子，所以其他的事情都是次要的．故选D．
    42．A．词义猜词题：所在的句子的意思是：记得我要死了是我遇到的最重要的工具可以让我做出最大的决定，encounter是"遇到"，故选A．

    点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．

    Actually there were so many similar acts of generosity that it would be almost impossible to know （50）Dwho the soldier was．

    12．Five or six years ago，I attended a lecture on the science of attention．A professor who conducts（主持）research over in the medical school was talking about attention blindness，the basic feature（特征）of the human brain that，when we concentrate on one task，causes us to miss just about everything else．Because we can't see what we can't see，our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act．He had us watch a video of six people tossing （投掷） basketballs back and forth，three in white shirts and three in black，and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white．The tape rolled，and everyone began counting．
         Everyone except me．I'm dyslexic （患阅读困难症的），and the moment I saw that tape with the confusing basketball tossers，I knew I wouldn't be able to keep track of their movements，so I let my mind wander．I became curious，though，when about 30seconds into the tape，a gorilla （大猩猩） walked in among the players．She （we later learned a female student was in the gorilla suit） stared at the camera，beat her chest with her fist，and then went away while they continued passing the balls．
         When the tape stopped，the professor asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketball tosses．Hands went up all over．He then asked who had counted 13，14，and congratulated those who'd scored the perfect 15．Then he asked，"And who saw the gorilla？"
         I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so．He'd set us up，trapping us in our own attention blindness．Yes，there had been a trick，but he wasn't the one who had played it on us．By concentrating so hard on counting，we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst．
    Attention blindness is the fundamental organizing principle of the brain，and I believe that it presents us with a great opportunity．My take is different from that of many neural（神经学）scientists：Where they see the shortcomings of the individual，I sense an opportunity for cooperation．Fortunately，given the interactive（互动的） nature of most of our lives in the digital age，we have the tools to control our different forms of attention and take advantage of them．
           It's not easy to admit that everything we've learned about how to pay attention means that we've been missing everything else．It's not easy for us logical，intelligent，confident types to admit that the very key to our success-our ability to discover a problem and solve it，an achievement obtained in all those years in school and beyond-may be exactly what limits us．No one ever told us that our way of seeing left out everything else．

    32．Which of the following is true about the writer when the tape was played？B
    A．The writer was confused by basketball tossers in white and black．
    B．The writer had difficulty keeping track of the tossers'movements．
    C．The writer showed great curiosity about what the players tossing．
    D．The writer tried hard to stop her mind from wandering．
    33．Which of the following may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph？C
    A．Attention blindness means that we've been missing everything else，although it is not easy to admit．
    B．Learning about how to pay attention means having the ability to succeed．
    C．Something may be missing although we have been learning to pay attention to everything．
    D．Our achievements may be exactly what limits us with attention blindness．
    34．The word underlined"take"in paragraph 5most probably means  A．
    A．understanding    B．impression    C．sense     D．assumption
    35．In the writer's opinion，attention blindness  C．
    A．should be viewed as a shortcoming of the individual
    B．might be overcome if we can discover problems and solve them
    C．makes it possible for us to work together for a shared purpose
    D．helps us to become logical，intelligent and confident types of people．

    9．While taking pictures of a curious five-month-old fox，photographer Simbn Czapp soon realized his subject had quite an interest in photography herself．The clever fox was so curious about the camera equipment that she climbed it on top of it．And while she was supposed to be the subject of the shoot，the fox stood on the shutter release button （快门按钮）and took her own frames．
    Mr Czapp visited the New Forest Wildlife Park to capture images of new arrival Jessie．She has been at the animal park in Ashjurst，Hampshire-home to wolves，deer and other animals in 25 acres of ancient woodland-after being abandoned by her mother．
    Mr Czapp said，"Jessie was very playful and curious and not at all camera shy．Soon after I arrived she was chewing my shoes and everything seemed to be a game to her．Then she started exploring the camera I had set up on a tripod （三脚架）．She stood on her back legs to look at the back of the camera．She balanced her front paws on it and at one point knocked it over．"
    He put the camera back on the tripod and Jessie soon jumped back up．At one point she had all four paws on the camera and was keeping her balance．Mr Czapp added，"She jumped up there several times and I realized it could make a good picture．As I was leaving with the public's viewing window behind me，I thought I heard the camera go off but didn't think much of it．But when I checked the memory card afterwards，I was amazed to see Jessie had actually taken two pictures of me photographing her．I couldn't believe a fox had gained an advantage over me!Jessie is a lovely little fox．There were some lovely photos of her but she obviously thought the photographer was worthy of a picture too!，
