    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

           On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles．

    During his talk, Jack   1   his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, “Who wants this?”   2   shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would   3  ．But I jumped up, ran up the   4   to the stage, and grabbed the bill．As I was launching myself in the air, thoughts   5   through my mind — was I about to be humiliated （羞辱） in front of 800 people? Would they   6   security guards and take me from the stage?   7   my desire for brave action was louder than any   8   voice．

    As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “That’s it! We can’t wait for the   9   to come to us．We must take action to   10   what we want!”

    After his talk, I managed to formally meet Jack and bravely asked for his   11   email address．Over the next months, I sent him emails   12   my vision and dreams with him．He kindly emailed back lots of encouragement．But my life got   13   with other things．I stopped e-mailing Jack．

    A year later, my dreams had worn away．I thought Jack would inspire me into action, like a giant   14   that would show me the way．

    I emailed him, and then again — but got no   15  ．As I sat down at my computer to check my emails, I   16   woke up．What was I doing? I was waiting! Now I remembered the crowd, most likely   17   that hundred-dollar bill, while they sat   18   to their chairs．

    Usually we all have a “Jack” for whom we wait — whether it’s a person, a place or a thing．We    19   believe the gifts of life are just around the corner, and that everything will come in a（n）   20   way．So we don’t try．We give up．But as Wayne Gretzky said: “You’ll always miss 100% of the opportunities you don’t take!” So I stopped waiting and started my writing career．

           Now what are you waiting for?

    　　Like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star．There are two ways to go about getting one．First there is the traditional way．Find some friends and form a group．Learn to play the guitar or the drums．Write your own songs．Spend hours arguing about the band name．Then go out on the road．

    　　The next step is to spend a year or two touring．If you are good enough, the crowds will get bigger．In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show．If he or she likes you, there may be a deal．This is the route traditionally followed by bands in the music industry．Success means fame and wealth．And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children．

    　　Over the last few years a different path to success has become known．Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like the Spice Girls don't come together on their own．They are created by managers and record companies．Their image is strictly controlled．Professional song writers usually write their music．This is a convenient(现成的)arrangement and the public seems to love the result．

    　　Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently, there is a long tradition of making music in this way．In the early 1960's an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records．Motown is short for“motor town”．The record company was based in the city of Detroit, where thousands of African-Americans had moved to work in the car industry．They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music．This style later became known as“soul music”．Berry Gordy was a diamond miner．He took raw talent from the street and polished(打磨)it until it shone．Motown stars were not just given songs to sing．They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly．

    　　As the saying goes, once you’ve learnt to ride a bike, you’ll never forget．The next step is to feel confident; our quick guide below will help, but a bit of training can be invaluable．When you’re confident about what you’re doing, you get a lot more pleasure out of it．

    　　Although you can get started with remarkably little in the way of knowledge, equipment and skills, you’ll find a little of each will be extremely helpful．Search around on this　website and you’ll pick up a lot quickly．If you already have a bike and it’s been lying around for a few years, you need to make sure it is still safe to ride．Start with the following checks：

    　　Both brakes work well．

    　　Both tires are pumped up．

    　　The saddle is at the correct height(as a rough guide, when sitting on the saddle your heel should rest on the pedal with your knee very slightly bent)．

    　　The handle bars are tightened so they do not move when pressure is applied from the top．

    　　The gears(齿轮)work smoothly．

    　　If you are unsure you should take it to your nearest bike shop for a quick service．

    　　Once you have a bike, the next thing is to ride it safely and that means with confidence．There are a few principles though that will help when you start out．

    　　Off road routes and trails are a good way to increase your bike handling skills, especially if you have not ridden a bike for a few years, so find your nearest national cycle network route, former railway cycle path, local park which allows cycling．If you are specifically looking to learn the finer skills of mountain biking, then a mountain bike training course could well help you on your way, whether you’re a complete beginner, or someone with more experience．

    　　Once you have gained confidence in cycling, you may want to venture(冒险)further and this normally means that you will need to cycle on the road, see our SKILLS OF THE ROAD page for more information．

    Researchers believe that the insect(昆虫) is better at managing congestion (拥挤) than humans. Ants are the most many type of animal on earth with brains that contain about 250,000 cells ---- the largest among insects.

    Now an intelligence expert Dr. Dirk Helbing says understanding more about ants could help solve one of the headaches of modern life -- road congestion.

    His team set up an "ant motorway" with two routes of different widths from the nest to some sugar syrup (糖浆). Soon the narrower（更窄的） route soon became crowded（拥挤的）. But when an ant returning along the crowded route to the nest met with another ant just starting out, the returning ant pushed the newcomer onto the other path. However, if the returning ant had enjoyed a trouble-free journey, it did not send the newcomer in a different direction.

    The result was that just before one route became clogged , the ants had turned to another route and traffic jams never formed.

    The researchers also created a computer model of more complex ant networks with routes of different lengths. The team found that even though ants being sent in another direction sometimes took a longer route, they still got to the food quickly and efficiently.

    Dr. Helbing, of the Dresden University of Technology in Germany, said that while you cannot allow cars to meet with traffic coming in the opposite（相反的）direction as a form of traffic control, you could do the next best thing and allow them to communicate.

    His plan is to force cars traveling in one direction to tell oncoming traffic what the conditions they are about to meet with-- so they can avoid that situation if necessary.

    1.The first paragraph suggests that _______.

    A．ants have a special way to manage congestion

    B．ants are clever and good at dealing with the traffic jams because of developed brain

    C．insects are similar to animals in dealing with the traffic jams because of developed brain

    D．insects have more advantages than humans

    2. The underlined word "clogged" can be replaced by _______ in the following four words.

    A．cleaned

    B．narrowed

    C．crowded

    D．shortened

    3.If an ant returns along crowded route to the nest, how does the ant solve the traffic problem?

    A．The ant will change the direction of its own.

    B．The ant stopped the newcomer from moving ahead and forced the newcomer to wait there patiently.

    C．The ant can't direct the newcomer.

    D．The ant will push the newcomer to the other route, so traffic jams won't form.

    4. What's the advice that Dr. Helbing gives us?

    A．The cars cannot be allowed to communicate with traffic coming in the opposite direction.

    B．The cars can communicate with traffic in the same direction.

    C．The cars that travel in one direction can tell oncoming traffic about the traffic conditions.

    D．We should build more routes of different lengths and widths.
