4 . The core of an admirable life is respect. When you respect yourself and others, you behave in a way that sets a high standard.
Learn to be comfortable in your own skin. The real purpose of your life is to evolve and grow into the whole person you are capable of being. It’s easy to get off the path and spend your time trying to be someone you think you're supposed to be, but any effort to change yourself for other people is bound to be worthless.
Stop pleasing others despite yourself. How many wasted years, months, and days have you spent trying to please others?
Don’t dream your life; live your dreams.
In the end, if you can become a person you admire, you will be able to help others bring out their best as well.
| A．Live fully and dare greatly. |
| B．Treat confidence as a superpower. |
| C．The best you can do is to be your true self. |
| D．Honesty is central to any admirable life. |
| E．Never put off or give up on your dreams. |
| F．Making everybody happy is never your responsibility. |
| G．You’ll do things you can be proud of and inspire others to do the same. |
5 . Life is full of ups and downs. You must understand that you will sometimes fail at things, and it is okay when that happens. Almost all of our lives, we have been taught that failure is really bad, and when we fail, we must drown (沉浸) ourselves in sorrow. This is an entirely wrong approach.
From a kid to an adult, you will fail at many things in life but that will only tell you about yourself. You will learn about your true capabilities, what you are good at, and what you are bad at. We must learn to accept the process rather than run from it. Only then will we be able to achieve our goals in life.
Let me tell you something about myself and how I faced failures in life. In my early years a school, I had trouble with some subjects. I used to get really bad grades. Sometimes, I would get an F, which would make me really scared. I used to think: What will I show my parents? So what I used to do was to cover those grades up. I would turn the F into a B just to please my parents. The short version is that it didn’t work out, and eventually, I was caught doing that. I learned a lot after that. I knew that I had to accept that failure and learn from it, and something good actually came from it. I started doing better with my grades. That F turned into a B naturally, and that B turned into an A.
Whenever you face a failure, never think that you are never going to recover from this. You must think of ways to better yourself. Did you know that it took Thomas Edison 10,000 attempts to perfect the light bulb? Bill Gates failed many times; even his first company was a complete failure. These prove that we must learn from our failures, not run from them!
1. What does the author think of failures?| A．They bring us great pressure and wrong ideas. | B．They can be avoided if we take things seriously. |
| C．They sadden us and make us lose faith gradually. | D．They can lead to success if we learn from them. |
| A．He told his parents the truth but got a scolding. |
| B．He made up his mind to learn as much as he could. |
| C．He secretly changed his grades to please his parents. |
| D．He paid no attention to them and kept studying hard. |
| A．To present their outstanding achievements. | B．To stress the necessity to learn from failures. |
| C．To explain the great significance of hard work. | D．To show their approaches to starting a business. |
| A．Rome Is Not Built in a Day | B．There Is No End to Learning |
| C．Failure Is the Mother of Success | D．A Good Beginning Is Half Done |
We moved to a small seaside community in New Zealand 10 years ago, because my husband Phil worked as a biologist and he had to do research near the sea. I had seen seals (海豚) around Pilot Bay, which is near here. Sometimes you see them out on the rocks, sunning themselves or playing-but usually in their own territory. They never thought about disturbing their neighbors.
It was a dark winter morning in August this year when a seal came. At 5:50 a.m., I left the house to go fitness training. I went down to the car parked in the driveway and heard a growl (咆哮). I thought our cat, Coco, must have chased a dog under the car. I jumped into the car to avoid getting my ankles bitten, and moved slowly, but then I felt the car hit something. When I got out to have a look, I couldn’t see anything and thought it must have moved on. Then when I got back into my seat, I saw a baby seal in the headlights.I thought, Oh, my God, “but didn’t panic—the ocean is just down the driveway and I thought it would find its way back. Off I went to the training center and gave everyone there a laugh when I said, “Sorry I’m late; there was a seal under the car.” I didn’t think about it again until I got home. As I walked through the garage (车库), I noticed our baskets had been moved. I wondered if it was the seal, but then I guessed it could not be the seal because I didn’t think it could fit through the cat door, which was the only way into the garage. But I was wrong. As I opened the door to the house, I brushed something and heard this flip-flip-flip-flip sound, and thought, “My God, that is the seal.”

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I was working as a supervisor in a small, rural hospital on a bitter cold Midwestern winter in 1992. I wasn’t even supposed to be working the evening shift, but had agreed to swap with a colleague who needed the night off. Among my many duties was to assist in the emergency room (ER) if our ER nurse needed help. Suddenly, my pager (寻呼机) echoed down the hallway that quiet evening.
“I need your help now,” a nurse in ER said urgently. “We have an ambulance out on a little boy. Not many details, but it doesn’t sound good. He was found outside in a snow bank, and the first responders have started CPR.” My heart sank. It was thirty degrees below zero with windchill. The child didn’t have a chance.
I entered the emergency room. The ambulance was just pulling up, and when the gurney (轮床) rolled into the ER it was met with dead silence. CPR was in progress. The blond boy lay lifeless and pale with little hands frozen so solid. Because of the circumstances, we were obligated to continue CPR until his core body temperature was raised. No one in the room seemed to hold any hope of bringing back this little boy.
The next hour passed quickly as many ways were conducted to warm him up. I stood silently over him, tears running down my cheeks, as I prayed silently for him and his family. I couldn’t even help understanding the pain his parents were experiencing.
He was the same age as my little boy, with the same beautiful blue eyes and blond hair. I thought of how much I loved my son and tried to remember the last time I told him I loved him so. What if he died tonight? Would he die knowing how much I loved him? I realized, watching a group of doctors and nurses desperately trying to do the impossible, that I hadn’t even hugged him before leaving for work. And I deeply regretted that now.

9 . We see a woman swimming at night in a dark sea. Suddenly, she is pulled underwater. She surfaces, cries in fear, then disappears forever. This is the opening scene from the 1975 film Jaws, showing a shark attack. It tells the story of a great white shark that attacks and kills swimmers. Jaws was a great success, attracting huge audiences and winning many awards. It strengthened people’s long-held idea of the great white shark as a dangerous animal.
People have always been scared of sharks, but Jaws made things worse. It made people frightened of sharks, especially of the great white shark. Many people who saw the film started to believe that sharks were bad animals that ate humans. Some people stopped swimming in the sea, afraid of the horrible creature from the film. Other people started fishing for sharks, killing as many as they could. After 1975, the number of large sharks around America fell quickly, and soon fell around the world. This was not only due to fear of sharks, but also finning. Finning is a type of fishing where sharks are caught and their fins (鱼鳍) cut off. The sharks are thrown back into the sea where they die slowly and painfully. The fins are used in shark fin soup. Finning kills millions of sharks a year.
Finning would have an unexpected effect upon Peter Benchley, the man who wrote the book the film Jaws was based on. In 1980, Benchley was diving when he came across an awful sight. It was an area where fishermen were finning, and the sea floor was covered with dead sharks. Benchley saw sharks being killed and this caused a deep change in him. He came to see people as a danger to sharks, rather than the other way round. From that day on, he fought to protect sharks. He admitted that his book was wrong about sharks. “Sharks don’t target humans,” he said. Experts have proved that sharks do not see people as food. Today, as we learn more about sharks, more people than ever want to protect them from extinction.

| C．He regretted writing the book about sharks. | D．He proved that sharks don’t target humans. |
| A．To emphasize the bad influence that films or books have on audiences or readers. |
| B．To criticize Peter Benchley for his misleading description of sharks in his book. |
| C．To inform readers of sharks’ habitat and call for the protection of environment. |
| D．To explain people’s misunderstanding of sharks and advocate shark protection. |
10 . From solar panels to electric cars, clean energy has become a bigger part of our lives in recent years. A new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that it will only develop a stronger foothold in the decades to come, with more solar panels, electric cars, and renewable energy by 2030.
The IEA analyzed the current policies and added that there will likely be two-thirds more clean energy ten years from now with a decreased dependence on fossil fuels. “The transition to clean energy is happening worldwide and is unstoppable. It’s not a question of ‘if’, but a matter of ‘how soon’—and the sooner, the better for all of us,” says the IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol.
“Governments, companies, and investors must support clean energy transitions rather than hinder them. There are immense (巨大的) benefits on offer, including new industrial opportunities and jobs, greater energy security，cleaner air, universal energy access and a safer climate for everyone. Considering the ongoing strains and volatility (波动) in traditional energy markets today, claims that oil and gas represent safe or secure choices for the world’s energy and climate future look weaker than ever,” Biral adds.
Although this is welcome news for many, the IEA stresses that more improvement will be needed for the 200 countries in the Paris Agreement to meet the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celcius (34.7 degrees Fahrenheit). Governments must triple renewable capacity, reduce methane emissions from fossil fuel operations by 75%, and triple clean energy in developing economies.
“Every country needs to find its own pathway, but international cooperation is crucial for accelerating clean energy transitions,” Birol asserts. “In particular, the speed at which emissions decline will be largely determined by our ability to finance sustainable solutions to meet rising energy demand from the world’s fast-growing economies. This all points to the importance of redoubling cooperation, not retreating (逃避) from them.”
1. What does the new report from the IEA show?| A．The demand for fossil fuels is still currently strong. |
| B．The worldwide shift to clean energy is unstoppable. |
| C．The threat of global warming is being underestimated. |
| D．The use of renewable energy is a new focus of mankind. |
| A．Follow. | B．Delay. | C．Improve. | D．Prevent. |
| A．It is challenging. | B．It is impractical. | C．It is unclear. | D．It is conservative. |
| A．Changes to global economic policies. | B．The pattern of energy consumption. |
| C．Combined efforts between nations. | D．The development of advanced technologies. |
