if there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. every success i know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat ａnd
actually profit by it in his next undertaking. confuse defeat with failure, ａnd you are doomed indeed to failure, for it isn’t defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide ａnd encouragement to success.
defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. they are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. but defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without feeling ashamed, analyze it ａnd learn why you failed. defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing else can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed. if you let a baby grasp a rod ａnd try to pull it away, he will cling more ａnd more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. it is this same reaction that should give you new ａnd greater strength every time you are defeated. if you fully ｕｓｅthe power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than what you are capable of.

passage 3
why don’t birds get lost on their long flights ｆrom one place to another? scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks.
not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. but what about birds that fly by night? tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.
a dove had spent its lifetime in a cage ａnd had never flown under a natural sky. yet it showed
an inborn ability to ｕｓｅthe stars for guidance. the bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. the bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. any change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.
but the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. when the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, ａnd river courses. but when it’s too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to find their way.

c. some birds cannot fly at night
d. some birds seem to follow the stars when they fly at night

passage 2
cars of 2000 will travel the nation’s highways in never-before-dreams-of safety, comfort, ａnd convenience. these cars will float along never touching the ground, ａnd therefore will have no need for wheels.
annoying highway vibrations, caused by the rotations of the disc-and-tire wheels, will be things of the past. the coming highway passenger cars will literally fly above the road, supported on columns of air compressed by turbine-driven fans.
the car without wheels has been called a “flying car”, ａnd, in a sense, that’s just what it is; however, it will not back out of the family garage, start down the street, ａnd then suddenly go quickly upward heading for some distant point. on the contrary, to avoid problems in aerial navigation, the wheel-less vehicle probably will travel no more than three inches above road surface. it will travel over fairly rough road ａnd even over smooth water.
the inevitable problems of maritime regulations, severe weather conditions, ａnd running out of fuel in remote areas all will require new concepts of operation, servicing, ａnd vehicle regulation.

a. over soft land
b. over rough country roads
c. over highways
d. over waterfalls
10. wheel-less cars will___D__
a. eliminate all traffic problems
b. create new traffic problems
c. eliminate parking problems
d. both a ａnd c

b i want to have （我想拥有的工作）
Every person has his own ideal job. Some people wish to be doctors, while others want to be teachers and so on.
As far as I am concerned, I have been dreaming of being a guide for a long time. First, my major is the manage of tourism, so I want to get a job about tourism. Secondly, good guides are knowledgeable and amiable, meanwhile, they have wide vision. Finally, guide can constantly expand his knowledge and understand lots of customs about different cultures and countries.
To achieve my dream of being a qualified guide, I have to make sufficient preparations. For one thing, I must learn my specialty well and travel at my spare time, just as the saying goes: “Seeing is believing.”For another, I should enhance my eloquence so that I can express the allusion about the view clearly. What’s more important ,I should control my mood freely and treat every traveler kindly.
Being a good guide is difficult, but I believe if I endeavor to do this things in all hands. I’ll be successful sooner or later

My Opinions on English Test （我对英语考试的看法）
Although more and more students take the college english test band 6 these days,there are students who don't care for taking it because they think it is unnecessary.They may think the pass
for CET-4 is enough and engish is not their major anyway.
I hold it differently.To me it is necessary and useful to take CET-6.The resons are as follows.First,CET-4 is a basic requirement for college students.We cannot stop at this level.We need further develop our ability in reading,writing,speaking and listening.Second, our country is developing repidly and communicating with outside world.If we have a good commend of english,we will more confident in dealing with https://www.doczj.com/doc/ab5905098.html,st, higher english level can help us find a satisfactory job in the future.
I take CET-6 not only for a pass, but also for improving my english.So even after I pass it,I will continue my english study.

But those programs －though some remain popular －increasingly occupy fringe times slots on foreign networks. Instead, a growing number of shows produced by local broadcasters are on the air at the best times. The shift counters longstanding assumptions that TV shows produced in the United States would continue to overshadow locally produced shows from Singapore to Sicily. The changes are coming at a time when the influence of the United States on international affairs has annoyed friends and foes alike, and some people are expressing relief that at least on television American culture is no longer quite the force it once was. “There has always been a concern that the image of the world would be shaped too much by American culture,” said Dr. Jo Groebek, director general of the European Institu te for the Media, a non-profit group. Given the choice, he adds, foreign viewers often prefer homegrown shows that better reflect local tastes, cultures and historical events. Unlike in the United States, commercial broadcasting in most regions of the world －including Asia, Europe, and a lesser extent Latin America, which has a long history of commercial TV －is a relatively recent development. A majority of broadcasters in many countries were either state-owned or state-subsidized for much of the last century. Governments began to relax their control in the 1980’s by privatizing national broadcasters and granting licenses to dozens of new commercial networks. The rise of cable and satellite pay-television increased the spectrum of channels. Relatively inexperienced and often financed on a shoestring, these new commercial stations needed hours of programming fast. The cheapest and easiest way to fill airtime was to buy shows from American studios, and the bidding wars for popular shows were fierce. The big American studios took advantage of that demand by raising prices and forcing foreign broadcasters to buy less popular programs if they wanted access to the best-selling shows and movies. “The studio priced themselves out of prime time,” said Harry Evans Sloan, chairman of SBS Broadcasting, a Pan-European broadcaster. Mr. Sloan estimates that over the last decade, the price of American programs has increased fivefold even as the international ratings for these shows have declined. American broadcasters are still the biggest buyers of American-made television shows, accounting for 90% of the $25 billion in 2001 sales. But international sales which totaled $2.5 billion last year often make the difference between a profit and a loss on show. As the pace of foreign sales slows －the market is now growing at 5% a year, down from the double-digit growth of the 1990’s －studio executives are rethinking production costs. 6. Which of the following best characterizes the image embodied in American shows? A. Self-contradictory B. Prejudice-free C. Culture-loaded D. Audience-targeted 7. The intervention of governments in the 1980’s resulted in __________ . A. the patenting of domination shows and movies B. the emergence of new commercial networks C. the promotion of cable and satellite pay-television D. the intense competition coming from the outside 8. The phrase “on a shoestring” (Para. 6) most probably means __________. A. in need of capital B. after a fashion C. on second thoughts D. in the interests of themselves 9. The main reason why American dramas and sitcoms are driven out of prime time is that ____. A. they lose competitiveness B. they are not market-oriented C. they are too much priced D. they fall short of audience expectations 10. American studio producers will give thought to production costs __________. A. if they have no access to popular shows B. because their endeavors come to no avail C. since bidding wars are no longer fierce D. as international sales pace slows down Passage Three How shops can exploit people's herd mentality to increase sales 1. A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is. Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended. Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors. Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (th at is，how ants，bees or any social animal，including humans，behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy. 2. At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome，Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani，a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology，described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon. Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance，by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store，forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them. Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes，also of the Florida Institute of Technology, set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct. The idea is that, if a certain product is seen to be popular, shoppers are likely to choose it too. The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying. 3. Enter smart-cart technology. In Mr Usmani's supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag, a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information，and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer. As a customer walks past a shelf of goods, a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high, he is more likely to select it too.
