一、补全短文

1. _1__.If you give and give without making time to fill your own nee ds, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset . When you take and take without giving back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.

The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. __2__I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are :kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.

__3__.These could be companionship, achievement, and support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.

When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reaction ary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. _4__.If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be ---this is the key to personal power.

When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. ___5___.

A.Young people have a different set of values.

B.You feel that you have a responsibility to help them.

C.Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy.

D.Your being values are the character traits (特征，特点)of the ideal person you would like to be.

E. You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.

F. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding.

G. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world , and in turn the way other people think of you.

2. Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren't sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. Th e intuitive answer — that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others — is really just one small piece of the puzzle. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply because of who they are, but more often because of what they do. 1

1. Get specific. When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. "Lose 5 pounds" is a better goal than "lose some weight," because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like.2 Also, think about the specific actions that need to be taken to reach your goal.

2. 3

Given how busy most of us are, and how many goals we are juggling at once, it's not surprising that we routinely miss opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really have no time to work out today? No chance at any point to return that phone call? Achieving your goal means grabbing hold of these opportunities before they slip through your fingers.

3. Know exactly how far you have left to go.

Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring of your progress — if not by others, then by you yourself. If you don't know how well you are doing, you can't adjust your behavior or your strategies accordingly.4

It is my hope that, after reading about the nine things successful people do differently, you have gained some insight into all the things you have been doing right all along. Remember:5. It's never what you are, but what you do.

Wait for opportunities to appear

Seize the moment to act on your goals

Here are things successful people do differently

Next I’ll talk about my own experience on how to achieve success

You don’t need to become a different person to become a more successful one

Check your progress frequently-weekly, or even daily, depending on the goal

Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there

20. People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 1 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error.? 2 ,?when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six 3 in analyzing a problem.

4 the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must 5 that there is a problem with his bicycle.

Next the person must find the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must 6 the parts that are wrong.

Now the person must look for 7 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 8 solutions. For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 9 ,he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 10 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.

After 11 the problem, the person should have 12 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 13 ,his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.

In the end, one 14 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the 15 idea comes quite 16 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 17 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖) stuck to a brake. He 18 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 19 the brake.

Finally the solution is 20 .Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

25. We often see wind-horse flags in Tibetan areas. They are long cloths on which pictures of horses and scriptures(经文)are printed. People often put these flags on top of houses, or leave them where a vehicle accident happened. They prevent evil spirits from injuring people again.

A wind-horse flag can be white, yellow, red, green or blue. These five colors symbolize the five elements that form the world; earth, water, fire, wind and sky. Another explanations that red is the sun, green is the grassland, yellow is the earth, blue is the sky, and white is the cloud.

The wind-horse flag originated with a monk who obtained a scripture from India. When he crossed a river, he carelessly dropped the scripture into the water. He quickly saved the scripture and spread it out on a big rock to dry as he sat in meditation(默想). Suddenly violent thunder sounded like drums. The monk felt liberated(解放的)from all of his sadness, and when he opened his eyes he saw that the scripture had been blown into the sky by a strong wind. Finally, he went straight to heaven.

In order to honor the spirit of the monk and the Buddhist scripture, people printed the scripture on a piece of cloth and hung it up between the sky and the earth as though the scripture was flying in the sky.

We also know why people put the wind-horse flag on the top of mountains and houses. The Tibetan ancestors had a very great idea about chanting scripture. They thought people not only could chant scripture, but also the five elements. The wind-home flag is a good example of how they use the wind to blow the flag, which means that the wind also chants scripture.

1. The second paragraph is mainly about the wind-horse flag’s ________.

A. colors B. styles C. materials D. functions

2. What happened when the monk meditated?

A. He felt very sad about his mistake. B. The scripture was blown into the sky.

C. He was punished by the gods. D. Many wind-house flags were flying.

3. According to the passage, the origin of the wind-horse flag is based on ________.

A. a historical event B. an ancient custom

C. a religious tale D. a vehicle accident

4. Why do people put wind-horse flags on the top of mountains and houses?

A. The wind-house flags are safer there.

B. The wind-house flags can be nearer to the sky.

C. People can see the wind-house flags more clearly.

D. People believe the wind can also chant scripture.

26. Researchers have identified an area in the brain that alerts us in less than a second to an upcoming mistake so we don’t repeat it.

Scientists have long known that mistakes are conducive to learning, suggesting the reason lies in our feeling of surprise which happens as soon as we find out we are wrong. But how the brain manages to learn from mistakes and how quickly it does so have been unknown.

“It’s a bit of a cliché (陈词滥调) to say that we learn more from our mistakes than our successes,” said lead author of the study Andy Wills, a psychologist at the University of Exeter, “but for the first time we’ve found just how quickly the brain works to help us avoid repeating errors.”

The scientists monitored the brain activity of a group of volunteers as they made predictions based on information read on a computer screen. Then, they were given new information that made many of the predictions incorrect. The participants had to learn from the mistake in order to recognize the error next time around.

The researchers measured activity in the lower region of the brain, near the temples(太阳穴), which is responsible for processing visual information. “By monitoring activity in the brain as it occurs, we were able to identify the moment at which this mechanism comes into action,” Wills said. Activity increased immediately after the individual saw the new information appear on the computer screen — within 0.1 seconds — before there was time for any conscious consideration.

Most previous research had focused on the brain’s frontal lobes (额叶), which are associated with complex thought processes, such as planning and conscious decision-making. This study, announced recently and published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, indicates the brain reacts to mistakes before information even gets processed consciously. The scientists call it an “early warning signal” from a lower region of the brain.

1. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Brain can quickly warn us of potential errors.

B. Brain manages information in different ways.

C. Study has found why people make mistakes.

D. Study has proved any mistake can be avoided.

2. The underlined word “conducive” in Para. 2 probably means “______”.

A. necessary B. helpful C. particular D. harmful

3. According to the text, the frontal lobes ______.

A. prevent us from making repeated mistakes

B. oversee thought processes in the brain

C. have nothing to do with making mistakes

D. have something to do with processing conscious information

4. It can be inferred from the text that one key to the study is ______.

A. the volunteers’ brain is in good health

B. the mistake first impresses the volunteers

C. many of the volunteers predict wrongly

D. information is showed on a computer screen

5. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the text?

A. We have known how quickly our brains work to help us avoid repeating mistakes.

B. It’s well known that mistakes benefit us more than successes do.

C. Mistakes are always recognized before conscious consideration.

D. A lower region of the brain is the reporter of possible mistakes.
