题目列表(包括答案和解析)
Doris Lessing, a novelist whose books have swept across continents and reflects her concern about the social and political issues of her time, won the 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature. The award comes with about $1.6 million.
Ms Lessing never finished high school and largely educated herself through reading. She has written dozens of books of fiction, as well as plays, nonfiction and two volumes of autobiography. She is the 11th woman to win the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Ms. Lessing was born Doris May Tayler in 1919 in what is now Iran. Her father was a bank clerk, and her mother was trained as a nurse. Attracted by the promise of farming riches, the family moved to Zimbabwe, where Ms. Lessing had what she has called a painful childhood.
She left home when she was 15, and in 1937 she moved to Salisbury in southern Rhodelsia, where she took jobs as a telephone operator and nursemaid. She married at 19 and had two children. A few years later, feeling as if she were put in prison, she abandoned her family. She later married Gottfried Lessing, and they had a son.
When Mr. Lessing and her marriage broke up, she and her young son, Peter, moved to London, where she began her writing career. Her first novel, The Grass Is Singing was published in Britain in 1949. Ms Lessing’s strongest influence may be that she inspired a generation of feminists（女权主义者）with her breakthrough novel, The Golden Notebook. The book was published in 1962, which wrote about the story of Anna Wulf, a woman who wanted to live freely and was, in some ways, Ms. Lessing’s secondary personality. She wrote about the inner lives of women and rejected the opinion that they should abandon their lives to marriage and children.

| Two runners stand side by side at the starting line of a race. Both look very strong and fast. 1 one runner speeds ahead and wins the race. The other falls behind. Some athletes can reach great 2 such as the achievement of an Olympic gold medal. Others never live up to their 3 . What kind of 4 before a race or another event makes the 5 ? Everyone knows that athletes work out to strengthen their 6 . But research shows that strengthening the mind may be just as 7 . Careful study indicates that the best athletes win 8 because they think they can win. Thinking positive thoughts seems to give possibility for 9 in sports. People who say "I know I can do this" to themselves over and over often find they have the 10 to win. On the other hand, people who think "I can't win" often 11 . One procedure that helps many athletes is creating 12 in the mind. They are told to think of each 13 they must make to win. Some use pictures that are more fanciful (富于幻想的). One skater liked to 14 a star bursting inside her, 15 her with energy. Another athlete who wanted to feel 16 pictured himself as a 17 floating in the air. Next time you want to do something well, try training your 18 to help you. Perhaps a teacher or another instructor can help you plan your training.
