2 . The story began with a young mother who had three sons. Unfortunately, the youngest son developed slow thinking skills, not having the intelligence of his brothers.

With double duty as the mother of the household, she was exhausted, so that the youngest was often the garget of anger and annoyance. Bad words, such as “you little fool” and the like, served as a daily meal for the youngest.

The words and curses he got from the mother and ridicule from friends convinced him that he was distressing and embarrassing his family. Every morning he woke up with his own face staring from the mirror reflection, he started to say quietly and sadly, “The fool is going to school.”

As adult citizens, there was compulsory military service which should be lived. Thus, the youngest son also signed up and started to follow the various tests: a medical, physical ability test and other tests. On the day of the announcement, he was called into the board of examiners.

In his mind, he convinced himself that he was the fool and couldn’t pass the tests this time as he entered the room with his head down. It was not expected at all. The tests turned out to have the highest praise from the board of examiners.

“Congratulations, young man! Your test results are incredible! You are really a great and talented young man. ”Words from the board of examiners became the discovery of a new side of himself that was not known in advance. Voice kept echoing in his mind, such as “I, the great man, am in the shower”, “the great man washes his face”, “The talented young man again brushes his teeth” and so on. Confidence and improved self-image came beyond usual.

20 years later, the youngest established himself as a successful businessman who was admired and respected, and received many awards.

The mindset and belief are the power behind the success that is within us. Whatever we think and believe in or mind continuously, it will eventually materialize in reality. That’s the universally applicable law.

1. Why was the youngest often scolded by his mother?

A．He was not as clever as his brother.

B．He considered himself to be a fool.

C．He didn’t behave himself at school.

D．He didn’t cook meals for his mother.

2. From the story we know that the young mother is ____.

A．selfish and lazy	B．gentle and caring
C．ill-tempered and impatient	D．kind-hearted and diligent

3. What happened to the youngest son later on?

A．He received aid from others.

B．He became an admirable psychologist.

C．He became confident and successful.

D．He developed strange mental diseases.

4. From this passage, the author mainly tells us that____.

A．Military service can change a person completely.

B．Mothers should treat every child equally.

C．Even a fool can become a successful businessman.

D．Think big and you will get big results.

3 . What does the man think about Susan?

A．She is like many other people.

B．She is tougher than men.

C．She always keeps her word.

4 . What can we learn about the man’s new roommate?

A．He really likes potatoes.

B．He is fond of watching TV.

C．He seldom visits his parents.

5 . What does the man want to do?

A．Send mail to Sally.

B．Contact Mary.

C．Get Mary’s address.

6 . We all want to be successful in our work. But what happens when our achievements come at the risk of losing important friendships? If your friends didn't receive what they were hoping for, your success could make them feel like they've been “left in the dust”. But does that mean that we shouldn't enjoy our achievements in case we displease someone or that we should feel sorry for being successful when others aren't?

Those of us who value friendships and close working relationships might feel embarrassed for achieving more than our friends. But we deserve our success, and nothing should take it away. Jealousy is only natural, but It’s often unreasonable, too. Your success is probably not connected with your friends' progress, so you shouldn't feel bad about achieving your goals. If your friends stay unfriendly, don’t be afraid to keep yourself away from them. You are not responsible for their weaknesses, and nor should they treat you sharply for furthering your work.

On the other hand, your friends may think highly of your recent success while hiding their real feelings. They could be jealous, angry or sad that they are not progressing at the same rate. So, be careful not to boast. It's a thin line between pride and self-importance, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.

Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners. Maybe your friends narrowly missed out on a position-raising, or experienced pay cuts which meant they didn't get what they were expecting. If your work is on a rising path, it doesn't mean that's the case for everyone.

Perhaps a step forward in your work has meant that you don't spend as much time with your friends as you used to. If you've changed a post or moved to a new office, take the time to stay in touch with old friends. Chances are that in the build-up to your success you've built strong relationships along the way. Don't let that hard work go to waste by losing touch with them.

1. From the first two paragraphs, it can be inferred that ________.

A．we should enjoy our deserving success

B．our success will certainly hurt our friends

3. What should we do if our friends support our success?

C．Help them make progress.

4. What does the text mainly talk about?

A．How to share our success with friends.

B．How to enjoy our success to the fullest.

C．How to keep relationships between friends.

D．How to keep friendships while enjoying achievements.

7 . When I sent my daughter, Emma, off for her freshman year of college a few years ago, I found myself affected by an unbelievable feeling of melancholy. Clearly, I'm not alone. Just last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that more than 90 percent of colleges offer to help moms and dads who are “struggling with the change.”

Between Thanksgiving, winter holiday, spring break and summer break, the first one out of my nest has come fluttering back home nearly every month of the year since she has been away. Good friends like to joke that they see more of her now than they did when she was a senior in high school. In the meantime, Emma calls, texts or e-mails me almost every day.

Given all this, missing Emma seems kind of silly；I've never really gotten the chance. So why, then, have I still felt on some level that I've experienced a great loss?

All summer long before Emma left that first year, I took Emma out for countless mother-daughter breakfasts, lunches, coffees and walks. At the same time, I seemed to find fault with Emma all the time. In my eyes, Emma had spent the weeks leading up to school going out with her friends too much, staying out way too late, making too big a mess, not working enough and, for goodness sake, certainly not spending enough time with me!

Although it's taken quite a while to realize what was happening, I now understand that my unhappiness and anxiety are not a reflection of how much time Emma and I spend together. Regardless of how often she comes home, or how many times a day we chat or text, Emma is now gone in a far grander sense. She is well on the road to adulthood, and from this, she will never return.

1. What does the underlined word “melancholy” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A．Fierce anger.	B．Deep sadness.
C．Extreme excitement.	D．Great satisfaction.

2. Why does it seem silly for the author to miss her daughter?

A．They keep in touch frequently.	B．Friends like to make fun of her.
C．Emma has grown up to an adult.	D．Other parents don't behave like this.

3. What actually made the author overly worried?

A．The untidiness of Emma's room.	B．The passing of Emma's childhood.
C．Taking Emma out all too often.	D．Spending little time with Emma.

4. What is the best title for the text?

A．Changes in the Parent-Child Relationship	B．The Most Concerned Parents of All Time
C．Growing Pains for College Students	D．Struggling to Let Go of My Daughter

8 . Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to______how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I_______that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and____friends. While traveling was inspring and meeting people was_____, nothing about my term in France was what I______.

The moment I arrived in Paris, I was_______by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting__________I received some shocking news from my program coordinator(协调人): there had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to_________out of one family’s house and into another. The exchange coordinator told me I’d have a_________this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation (诱惑) to_________my native language, I asked not to be_______with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I_______myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian(巴西人) the same age as I, who I was surprised to find playing one of my favourite CD! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the_______.

I left France with many________, so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always_______to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends_________France we enjoyed together. I love how people______seem so different, but end up being so__________. The most valuabe lesson I gain from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people_______to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign culture and gain meaningful_______.

9 . Another person's enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.

I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father_________me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is_________for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no_________ than tomorrow morning.”

My stepmother walked over to me, _________my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are_________This is not the worst boy at all, _________the smartest one who hasn't yet found an outlet(释放的途径) for his enthusiasm.”

That statement began a(n)_________between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my_________as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.

She changed many things. She_________my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father's career could be more__________and my brother and I could be better__________.

When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand__________and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I__________ it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her__________ and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of__________that great day I went to interview Andrew Camegie and received the task which became my life's work later. I wasn't the__________beneficiary(受益者). My father became the__________ man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.

What power__________has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one's purpose and is__________ strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible(不可抗拒的) force which poverty and temporary defeat can never________.

You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.
