A

What I’ve noticed about some very successful business owners is that they are always learning and growing.

For your business to be better you need to be better and, you don’t get better by doing nothing!

You are the average of the five PEOPLE you hang around with most. Surround yourself with people whom you want to be like.

To do this you may have to get right out of your comfort zone and join in a coaching program, go along to seminars(专题讨论会) where you can meet other like-minded people or those playing at a higher level of business than you.

There’s no excuse not to get off your butt and learn your way to success. Regardless of where you are located，events are taking place all around the country regularly as well as online. Saying you have “no money” or “no time” is not a good enough excuse.

For many business owners they spend their whole lives using these excuses and going nowhere. Don’t focus on where you are now, but where you want to be. You’ll find the money and the time if you seriously want to change.

Your ongoing learning can take you from struggling along to soaring high in all areas of your life.

It’s been nearly six months since you made those New Year decisions to make changes in your business and your life.

Are you getting the results you wanted?

Is your business more profitable?

Do you have more free time?

Is the quality of your life improving?

Is your answer “yes”, then take a look at why that is. What have you been doing to get these results? And if you’re not moving ahead, seriously look at why that is. When’s the last time you read a book, listened to a CD, got coached or attended a seminar to learn how to do things better? The people I know who are getting great results in their business and personal lives are always learning and growing.

You are the Secret to Your Success, so do everything within your power to invest in yourself.

51. The underlined phrase “get off your butt” in Paragraph 5 probably means _______.

A. leave for a place where you want to go

B. do something as you like

C. shoot an object

D. stop being lazy and start doing something useful

52. All the following ways can contribute to your business EXCEPT ___________.

A. not dreaming of living a comfortable life

B. avoiding finding unnecessary excuses

C. deciding to change your present life

D. getting in touch with successful people

53. What does the capitalized word “PEOPLE” imply in Paragraph Three?

A. It’s sometimes difficult to change a person.

B. Average people are easy to get along with.

C. People are supposed to set higher goals.

D. You don’t get better by doing something.

54. According to the passage, the most important thing to success is __________.

A. attending important meetings often B. making changes when necessary

C. keeping learning all the time D. making a plan ahead of time

B

John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique violin and played it in the crowded subway station. The music from the violin was delicately streaming throughout the whole station. However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music. A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around. John only got 52 dollars for his work that day.

However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price. Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but cheap music feast.

I have a very busy friend who had totally changed after knowing that his wife came down with incurable illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day. Nonetheless, his wife still did not manage to conquer the illness and passed away after three months. After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife. But now, it is impossible to make up for it.

It is no use crying over spilt milk. We have missed a lot of precious things in our life without knowing to cherish them.

Actually, I also missed something precious before. The reason why we would have missed those precious things is less than simple: we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.

Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually by no means reliable. There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and regretting. The result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost it. We would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we become old, etc. However, when we reach the condition we have expected, we could no longer realize our wish, because we have lost it by then.

55. The reason why people often regret may be that____________________.

A. they are too busy to notice the beautiful things

B. they are too careless to cherish precious things

C. they are lazy to observe the surroundings

D. they think that it’s none of their business

56. The idea the author would like to get across to us seems that________________.

A. actions speak louder than words B. a bad beginning makes a bad ending

C. the lost will never come back D. each day brings its own bread

57. What method does the author employ to support his opinion?

A. By listing data. B. By comparing the details .

C. By explaining the procedures . D. By taking examples.

58. How do we understand the underlined parts waiting and regretting ?

A. Many people will not cherish what they have until they lost them.

B. Many people cannot do well until they get older.

C. Many people know what they are doing.

D. Many people regret for what they don’t possess.

C

I am afraid to lose. I fear this time, and I love memories. I could not forget the sweat on the pitch with brothers, forget my close friends accompanying me crying, and forget the bright stars of every night, and those words that have touched me deeply.

Those people, those things, such as bursts of light rain in the lake left ring watermark four scattered to each other to melt each other's impact; just like the quiet shining star, not very bright, but clearly made. They do not know how much to spend with me during the bright day and silent night.

In my memory, the third year is not gray, because I still remember seeing sunrise and sunset with my friends, and it’s that nice.

Youth is the eye lotus spring, third year is spring season that this eye bubbled. I, however, strongly smell in the bubble years of the Problem tests. I do not exclude these, but too much pressure does away much fun. Unfortunately, after the college entrance examination, even the pressure would become the memories, and be my third year living memory of the dead evidence. In the time before we are so powerless, the only left on just the eye springs, and we have no regrets of the promise, I hope day after day, year after year, when I return to this page, people still have remembered the beauty.

I have read one another frightening words: Some people say that once you start to like the memories of those, you will get old. I only admit mature, do not believe they have been growing old. My friends are growing up day by day, and were young and mature, how can I grow old ahead of time?

"Heaven Rain in green and so on, and I am waiting for you, the moonlight was recovered, the faint opened the outcome." Jay’s sad voice has been completely different from the business for the time sentimental(伤感的); Bard will be the years the pace of a camel carved into the blue and white porcelain in that respect.

Our future? Friends ah, I will time the other end, waiting for you.

59. From the passage we can smell that the writer ______________________.

A. showed his anxiety B. told us his experience

C. hoped that some memories can be remembered D. did not like the third year

60. The writer of the passage is most unlikely to be a ________________.

A. student in the third year B. teacher teaching in a senior middle school

C. colleague in a certain college D. young man studying in a middle school

61. The tune of the passage is ______________.

A. humorous B. calm C. pleasant D. light sad

62. The underlined sentence too much pressure does away much fun in Paragraph 3 means______________.

A. too many exams take away the pleasure of studies

B. pressure brings in too much fun

C. pressure has something much to do with fun

D. no pains, no gains

BEIJING, Dec. 14 (Xinhua) -- Education experts and lawmakers have called on the government to give more financial support for the country's school bus development in order to make it safer.

China issued a set of technical standards for school buses for primary school students last year, and the drafting of another standard for buses for kindergartners is also under way.

However, the newspaper said these standards are only binding for the school bus manufacturers -- not for school bus service operators, and many schools buy or rent ordinary vehicles, or even farm vehicles, to transport students.

Higher costs to run and maintain the specially-designed school buses may be one of the reasons for the problem, the article said.

According to the report, the average price of a qualified school bus is 100,000 to 200,000 yuan (15,760 to 31,520 U.S. dollars) higher than other similar coaches, and long idle times while students are at school or on vacation also adds to the operation costs.

The student-transportation problem comes into view large in the country's rural areas, as over the past 10 years, primary schools in these areas were almost halved amid the country's efforts to improve education quality and efficiency, forcing many students to travel much farther for school.

Moreover, schools in rural areas suffer more financial difficulties in providing qualified school bus services, said Ma Pingchang, a National People's Congress deputy in Shandong province.

China published a draft regulation on school bus safety management on Sunday guaranteeing that central and local governments will provide financial support for school bus service development.

However, Yang Dongping, a professor of education with the Beijing Institute of Technology, said the regulation is not specific enough to answer the question of "who should pay for the school bus services."

Although it is unrealistic for public spending to cover all the expenses, the government should not avoid its responsibility, Yang said.

"When it comes to the matter of education and school bus safety, costs should not be put at the top of the list," said Ye Qing, another national lawmaker in Hubei province.

Ye and Wang Xuming, a former Education Ministry spokesman, also suggested the slashing public spending on government cars to fund the school bus services.

The State Administration of Work Safety, China's safety watchdog, on Tuesday called on local governments to take immediate action to make school buses safer.

63. From the text we learn that ________________________.

A. China hasn’t issued any technical standard for school buses for primary school students

B. China has issued another new formal standard for buses for the kindergartners

C. now ordinary vehicles are still used to transport students in many schools

D. the standards are not only for the school bus makers but also for school bus service operators

64. The following statements are the reasons for renting ordinary vehicles to transport students in rural areas EXCEPT _______________.

A. It costs more to run and maintain the specially-designed school buses

B.The school buses often idle a long time when students are at school or on vacation

C. Schools in rural areas lack financial support

D. The number of primary school students is increasing and there are not enough school buses

65. According to the passage, which of the following is Not true?

A. The governments should cover the whole expenses for school buses.

B. Ye Qing thinks compared with education and school bus safety, costs are less important.

C. We should cut down public spending on government cars to subsidize(补贴) the school bus services.

D. Local government should provide financial support for school bus services.

66. What is the best title of the passage?

A. The Problems about School Bus Safety

B. Experts Call for More Government Financial Support for School Bus Safety

C. How to Guarantee the Safety of School Buses

D. The Reasons for Renting Ordinary Vehicles to Transport Students in Rural Areas

So the little girl now walked on, her bare feet quite red and blue with the cold. She carried a small bundle of matches in her hand, and a good many more in her tattered dress. No one had bought any of them the live long day; no one had given her a single penny. Trembling with cold and hunger crept she on, the picture of sorrow: poor little child!

The snow-flakes fell on her long, fair hair, which curled in such pretty ringlets over her shoulders; but she thought not of her own beauty, or of the cold. Lights were glimmering through every window, and the savor of roast goose reached her from several houses;it was New Year's eve, and it was of this that she thought.

In a corner formed by two houses, one of which projected beyond the other. She sat down, drawing her little feet close under her, but in vain, she could not warm them. She dared not go home, she had sold no matches, earned not a single penny, and perhaps her father would beat her，besides her home was almost as cold as the street，it was an attic;and although the larger of the many chinks in the roof were stopped up with straw and rags，the wind and snow often penetrated through. Her hands were nearly dead with cold;one little match from her bundle would warm them. Perhaps, if she dared light it, she drew one out, and struck it against the wall, bravo! It was a bright, warm flame, and she held her hands over it. It was quite an illumination for that poor little girl; no, I call it rather a magic taper, for it seemed to her as though she was sitting before a large iron-stove with brass ornaments, so beautifully blazed the fire within! The child stretched out her feet to warm them also; alas, in an instant the flame had died away, the stove disappeared, the little girl sat cold and comfortless, with the burnt match in her hand.

67. The author emphasized that the story happened on New Year’s Eve in order to _____.

A. highlight the cold weather B. contrast with the girl’s sadness.

C. present the time D. describe the situation

68. Which below is NOT the reason why the little girl dared not go home?

A. She earned not a single penny. B. Her father would beat her.

C. Her home was almost as cold as the street. D. She sold out her matches.

69. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph told us _________________.

A. the girl was so cold that she formed an illusion that she sat beside a stove

B. a stove did give her some warmth on such a cold night

C. the thought she had could give her warmth

D. the light the match gave out did warm the little girl

70. The little girl gave us an impression of being ______________.

A. beautiful and kind B. poor but imaginable

C. poor and pitiful D. poor but lively

短文写作：

Classmate conflicts among senior middle school students are often heard on campus over recent years. These conflicts make the excitement of campus life grow grey and have bad effects on both their living and learning.

Classmate conflicts often rise from daily tiny things such as space where to store books or notes. When personalities don’t mix, the specifics can tear classmates apart and sometimes even lead to serious conflicts. Besides, the fact that classmates hold different attitudes towards certain issue is another factor causing these conflicts.

Classmate conflicts are harmful and need to be settled. Though many people think that school discipline can soften the conflicts, I believe learning to be tolerant with each other can play a more constructive role because it teaches students flexibility and the art of compromise. Meanwhile, communication contributes to the solution to this problem since many of these conflicts result from misunderstanding.

M: It gave me too much trouble. I was spending too much money on it. I was …er …spending more money than it was worth. Unfortunately, of course, when you actually sell the car, you’ve already spent the money on it, so you lose both ways.

W: Well, what was the trouble with your old car?

M: The engine needed a lot of repairs and the wheels were giving me trouble now and then. When I set off on a journey, it gave me a sort of feeling that I might not get to the other end, so I decided to change it.

W: Is the new car good?

M: Yes, it’s newer, more comfortable, and it hasn’t given me much trouble at all. When I set off, I’m quite sure that I’ll be able to get to the other end safely.

M: Sue, there you are. Have you got time for a little chat?

W: Of course. What is it, Mike? Is something wrong?

M: No, not really. Well, you remember Miguel who stayed with us last summer?

W: No. But I remember you telling me about him. He was fond of sightseeing, wasn’t he?

M：That’s right. Well, I got a letter from him this morning and he invited me to spend a holiday with his family this year. They get a big house on the river, and they’ve got a boat. You know how crazy I am about boats.

W: Mike, that’s great. What a wonderful chance for you!

M: Yes, but it’s not that simple.

W: What’s the problem?

M: It’s Celia. You see, we’ve both been saving to go on a trip together this year.

W: Ah, I see. You don’t want to disappoint her, of course.

M: That’s right. She’d be so upset. She’s really been doing all sorts of jobs in her free time. She’s really been expecting a holiday. It seems so unfair.

W: Look, Mike. First, you must tell Celia about the invitation. She’ll understand your problem. But why don’t you tell Miguel about the plan you have already made with Celia? He might even suggest a good way to settle the problem.

M: Hi, Bella. Have you heard from Jeff since he went abroad?

W: Yes, I have. We’ve been keeping in touch regularly, and the long-distance phone bills are killing me.

M: Have you tried using Skype?

W: Skype? That sounds like the substance I use to clean my toilet?

M: No, no. Skype has nothing to do with toilets. It’s a computer program that you can use to make free calls over the Internet.

W: Thanks, Tod, but I’ve tried instant message services and they really frustrate me. Jeff is a really slow typist.

M: There’s no typing involved. It works kind of like a telephone.

W: How much do I have to pay to subscribe?

M: As I said, PC to PC, it’s free.

W: That’s so good that it can’t be true.
