It was a cool early morning of the winter season. I was excited to start my morning walk. Every day I promised myself that I would start ‘ walking exercise ’ but it never happened. I saw so many people were engaged in this amazing habit but I could never push myself. So that day I was determined to take the golden opportunity!

I got everything ready, my shoes, socks, hand glove, and jacket, etc from the previous night. I didn’t know why 1 felt as if I were going to do some expedition (探险)! I was ready and started walking on the lonely road. The outside temperature seemed to be below 18 degrees. But I enjoyed the fresh air. Probably that day I was the only one who was walking on the road at that time. I think I was too early but anyhow I loved it!

After a few yards were covered, I felt delighted! Huge banyan trees (菩提树) were on both the roadsides. It was so calm and quiet all around except randomly the chirping (鸟鸣) sound of the little birds was repeated in the air. On one side of the road, a small pond was there. Since it was my first walking exercise, I thought to take a little rest just near the bank of the river and then continue. The sun was moving closer to the horizon scattering colors to the sky.

As the sky started shining brightly with beautiful yellow and red light like every day before the sunrise, I left that place and ended my journey furthermore. I thought to myself that the next day I would increase my exercise a little more. I turned and leisurely walked down towards my home.

1. What kind of person is the author according to the first paragraph?
A.A bit lazy.B.Quite smart.
C.Very easygoing.D.Challenge-loving.
2. Why didn’t the author see other people while walking on the road?
A.Because the road was far away from the city.
B.Because no one took interest in walking here.
C.Because the expedition was very dangerous.
D.Because it was still too early in the morning.
3. What the function of the third paragraph in the passage?
A.To lead in the main topic.
B.To show the joys of morning walking.
C.To persuade readers to take walking exercise.
D.To prove that the author wasn’t ready for the exercise.
4. What would the author probably do the next day?

文章大意:这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述如何拥有更积极的生活态度。

【推荐1】Becoming a positive thinker

Some people seem to be born with positive attitudes.     1     Developing a positive attitude is typically a process of replacing old habits of negativity with confidence. While some may be hard to break, no habit is too fixed to be changed.

Accept your accomplishments.     2     Our attitude is often the difference in whether we consider the cup half-empty or half-full. Practice celebrating the victories — even the small ones — such as meeting a deadline, accomplishing a task you dislike or solving a difficult problem. Consider obstacles (障碍) as problems to be solved by recognizing the knowledge gained through failure.

Turn capacity into capability. Humans are born with an enormous amount of capacity — one’s innate (与生俱来的) physical, intellectual, and emotional abilities — but little capability without learning and practice.     3     The Einsteins and Hawkings of the world do not know “E equal MC squared” or theories about black holes at birth. Their insights were the result of years of study and boring mathematical calculations. In other words, they transformed their capacity for intellectual breakthroughs into capability.

    4     When your inner monologue starts suggesting that you will never get your assignments done on time or that the work is too hard, find a way to take a more positive view of the situation. For example, if you are struggling to finish a research paper on time, look for ways that you can rearrange your schedule to make more time for the project rather than giving in to hopelessness.

Being a positive thinker is not about ignoring reality in favor of hopeful thoughts.     5    

A.Focus on your thoughts.
B.Watch carefully for negative self-talk.
C.Every life is filled with wins and losses.
D.It is more about taking a proactive approach to your life.
E.Self-blame is another common type of negative thinking.
F.Fortunately, those not so lucky can learn to be positive thinkers.
G.For example, a child has two legs but needs training to master the skill.

【推荐2】Nodira, 18, lives in the Tashkent region of Uzbekistan. She was born with a rare disease and is now paralyzed(瘫痪) from the waist down. Her life is confined to a wheelchair but__________________Her hopes for the future include attending university, riding in her father’s car and being able to walk like other children.
Nodira, which means ‘unique’ in Uzbek, is one of five children in a poor family. Every morning, after reciting her prayers, Nodira feeds the hens and goats from her wheelchair. The rest of her day is spent knitting for other people and helping her mother with the household chores.
Nodira has never been to school because it is too far from her home and inaccessible for her wheelchair. A local teacher used to come and____ her at home and, as a result, she was able to finish third grade. After that, her parents moved to another town and the tutor could not visit as much.
Despite the many difficulties in Nodira’s life she is lucky to be living with her family. The stigma(羞辱) attached to the children living with disabilities, combined with the lack of wheelchair access in schools and the economic difficulties faced by many Uzbek families, have led many parents to place children with disabilities in special institutions.
These days, Nodira does homework exercises at home and reads as much as she can. Still, it is unlikely that she will be able to finish her primary education, much less attend university. While missing out on an education is a great disappointment to Nodira, her greatest wish, for a true friend, can still come true. “What I want more than anything is a friend who also has a disability,” she says. “Somebody will not feel sorry for me or make fun of me, and will understand what my life is like.”

A.give food to some animals
