Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase. Long-term goals may be related toour dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? ______.A、The long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without achieving short-term goalsB、The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goalsC、Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit usD、We should often add new short-term goals to what have been completed学员答案:C正确性:正确。

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer for each questio n.Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really中国地质大学继续教育学院入学模拟卷3/7like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think th at all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings t hat are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient wit h anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age i n materials original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their w ork and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concerns himself alone, but i f it is a building, his failure c oncerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does som etimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern archit ecture is nothing.We can’t judge every modern b uilding by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.26 Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.D. they look at things by the standar27 The writer of the passage thinks that ________.C.it is true to say some artists fail in their work28 The writer thinks the failure of a building _______.A. means nothingB. concerns others29 The writer thinks that _________.C.we can’t judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standards30 Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The sentence means _____. A.the ancient architects had no technologyB.the modern architects use more advanced technologyEach passage is followed by several questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer for each questio n.Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one lif e’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told aga in, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a ple asure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt a bout not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect perfor命题教师:mance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linki ng breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, D r. Err esto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.31 The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.C. any year between 1997 and 1983D. 198332 For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.A. several studies have been done in the past few yearsB. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healt h33 “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______.C. having breakfast does not improve performance, either34 The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______.A. stories, poems, plays, etc.B. written works on a particular subject35 What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.A. breakfast does not affect performanceB. Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC. not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) n ot to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a ban k is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the d epositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. Ho wever, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks f ailed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The othe r banks expected a run the nex t day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enoug h money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay o n demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyon e. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows, The powe r of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs V aught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.36 A bank run happens when _______.A. a bank is closed for one or more daysB. too many depositors try to draw out their money at one time37 The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________.A. explain why they could not pay out all accountsB. pay out accounts as requested38 The main cause of a bank run is _______.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of money中国地质大学继续教育学院入学模拟卷5/7C. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers39 Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?D. She was tempted to draw out her money.40 According to the passage, the a ctions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were af fected mainly by the _______.C. failure of several other banks to openAt the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored wa lls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room th an people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energ y was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same p hotos, but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office. The third was in a tastefull y designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful roo m tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugl y rooms.41 Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage? A.People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly roomsB.The color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of t he people in it42 According to the passage, we may conclude that the whiter a room is ________.A. the longer people like to stay in itB. the sooner people in it will leave43 What is referred to as the “general appearance” in this passage is ________. D.what the room looks like44 This passage provides us with _______.A. a piece of scientific informationB. a normal lesson45 At least how many tests were carried out by the scientists referred to in this passag e?A. ThreeB. TwoC. Only oneD. No one knowsDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest un derground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craigh ead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian命题教师:nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately on e mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Counci l Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include po ttery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905 . In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found hi mself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and s till no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.46 The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.A. part of a historical cave systemB. the biggest underground lake in the world47 The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A. through historyB. since the time of the Indian nations48 Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?A. The Cherokee Indians.B. Tourists.C. Ben Sands.D. Scientists.49 What was found in “The Council Room”?A. A small natural opening.B. A large cave.C. Another series of rooms.D. Many old Indian objects.50 It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ___ _.A. an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race course四.ClozeFor each blank in the following passage , there are four choices marked A , B , C and D .

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Advertising gives useful information about which products to buy. But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services. Today‟s advertisements, or ads, try to get consumers to buy certain brands. Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal (麦片), or see a movie. Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.For example, you probably do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You may not have space on your shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it. Advertising must get attention. To be effective, it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is really selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.36.What is discussed in this passage?A. The content of modern advertising.B. The skills of modern advertising.C. The results of modern advertising.D. The writing of modern advertising.37.According to the passage, a good advertisement should ______.A. be both persuasive and effectiveB. give people useful informationC. show people a productD. show people a new idea of a product38.From the passage, we can infer that ______.A. modern advertising has less effect on customersB. once customers see ads about a new cereal, they are sure to buy itC. cereal can make people strongD. cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people39.What can we infer from the passage?A. Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.B. Customers should be persuaded by advertisements.C. It‟s impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements.D. Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements.40.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Modern advertisements often try to persuade consumers to buy certain brands.B. A good idea is of vital importance to writing good advertisements.C. Consumers will buy the new product even if they don‟t see the advertisement.D. Advertisements should be exciting as well as entertaining.Passage 2How man first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that man, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to stand for those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then lies in their association with the things they bring up before our minds. Words became filled with meanings for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increase.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal (吸引) powerfully to our minds and emotions. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them exactly, or they will make our speech silly and impolite.41.The origin of language is ______.A. clearly explained in this passageB. a matter that can not be or has not been explained or understoodC. a question that was difficult to answerD. a problem already solved42.One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was thatthey could ______.A. make themselves understand each otherB. write them downC. agree with certain signsD. combine them43.What is true about the words?A. They are used to express feeling only.B. They can‟t be written down.C. They are spoken or written sounds.D. They are soundless signs.44. A great writer is one who ______.A. has great thoughtsB. is good at deeply impressing us with the power of correct wordsC. is careful in choosing correct wordsD. both A and B45.It is necessary to pick up the words when we say or write in order ______.A. to show that we are politeB. to show that we are good at using themC. to prove that we are not sillyD. to express exactly what we mean Passage 3As they move up the professional ladder, more women in the USA are finding it necessary to make business trips alone. Since this is new for many, some trips are certainly not in order. If you are married, it is a good idea to encourage your husband and children to learn to cook a few simple meals while you are away. They will be much happier and probably they will enjoy the experience. If you will be eating alone a good meal, choose good restaurants. In the end, they will be much better for your digestion (消化). You may also find it useful to call the restaurant in advance and state that you will be eating alone. You will probably get better service and almost certainly a better table. Finally, and most importantly, anticipate your travel needs as a businesswoman; this starts with lightweight luggage which you can easily manage even when fully packed. Take a folding case inside your suitcase; it will come in extremely handy for dirty clothes, as well as for business documents and papers you no longer need on trip. And make sure you have a briefcase so that you can put currently required papers separately. Obviously, experience helps, but you can make things easier on yourself from the first by careful planning, so that right from the start you really can have a good trip.46.Which of the following can be inferred from this passage?A. A greater percentage of women are advancing professionally in the US than previously.B. Professional men refuse to accompany their female colleagues on business trips.C. Each year there are more female tourists in the US.D. Businesswomen become successful by showing a willingness to travel alone.47.In this passage, what advice does the author have for married women?A. Stay home and take care of your family.B. Encourage your husband and kids to be happy and have fun while you are away.C. Help your family learn to prepare food for themselves.D. Have your whole family take cooking classes together.48.Why are better restaurants especially preferable for frequent travelers?A. The food is usually better for your health.B. The tables are better.C. You can call ahead for reservations.D. You will not have to eat alone.49.Why is lightweight luggage important for the traveling businesswoman?A. It provides space for dirty clothes.B. It allows for mobility.C. It can double as a briefcase.D. It is usually big enough to carry all business documents.50.What is the main idea of this passage?A. Business trips are more difficult for women than for men.B. More women are finding the road to success in American business.C. Good business trips result from careful organization before the trip.D. Careful planning makes most business ventures successful.Passage 4Henry Ford was born in 1863 in the state of Michigan. He grew up on a farm but he did not want to become a farmer. He left school when he was sixteen. He wanted to make cars so he went to work as a mechanic.In 1896 Ford built his first car. This car was very different from the cars of today. For example, its wheels were bicycle wheels.In 1902 Ford built a car that won an important race. This car was the fastest car that had ever been built. It went seventy miles per hour. By then Ford had enough money to start the Ford Motor Company.At this time cars cost a lot of money. Only very rich people bought cars. Ford had a dream. He wanted to build a car that many people could afford. Ford was sure that, if people could afford cars, they would buy them. He said, …everybody wants to be somewhere he isn‟t.‟Ford‟s plan was to make all his cars the same. Cars that are all the same take less time and less money to make. Then Ford could charge less money for these cars. In 1908 Ford produced his famous Model T Ford. The Model T sold for $850. This was much cheaper than other cars but still more than most people could pay.One day Ford visited a meat-packing factory. There he saw beef carcasses being moved from one worker to another. Each worker had a particular job to do when the beef carcasses reached him. Ford realized he could use this assembly line method to build cars.It took less than two hours to build a car on the assembly line. Before, it took fourteen hours. Ford was able to drop the price of the Model T to $265.Ford‟s dream had come true. The Model T was now a car that many people could afford. By 1927, when Ford stopped making the Model T, over 15 million of these cars had been sold.51.Henry Ford built ______.A. the first car in AmericaB. the first bicycle in AmericaC. a car with bicycle wheelsD. the fastest car in 189652.Henry Ford‟s dr eam was ______.A. to build a car many people would have enough money to buyB. to build a car people would be able to sell easilyC. to build a car that would win an important raceD. to build a car on the assembly line in a meat-packing factory53.Henry Ford started his own company ______.A. when he was a mechanicB. after he built his first carC. after his car won an important raceD. after he visited a meat-packing factory54.Ford first saw an assembly line ______.A. on a farm in MichiganB. at the Ford Motor CompanyC. when he worked as a mechanicD. at a meat-packing factory55.Ford then understood that the assembly line was ______.A. a good way only for meat-packingB. a good way to build modern carsC. a good way to sell cheap carsD. not good enough for car workersPart III ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in each of the following passages.

The second name, the honor name, was given to the child by a medicine man (有法术之人). It usually referred to the fine character of good deeds of one of the child’s ancestors (祖先). When he grew up, the person was expected to live up to this name. Otherwise, the person might not be called by it. The third name was the nickname.

During the 19th century, scientists found that when certain parts of the brain of a person were hurt, he would lose the power of doing certain things. And so people thought that each part of the brain does a different job. But modem research discovered that this is not so, for it is not easy to show exactly what each part of the brain does.In the past fifty years there has been a great increase in the amount of research done on the brain. Scientists have found out the way the brain works is not so simple as people in general may think. Chemists fell us that about 100 000 chemical changes take place in the brain every second. Some recent researches also suggest that we can remember everything that happens to us. We, may not be able to think of the things we have heard and seen, but it is kept there in the storehouse (宝库) of the human brain. Earlier scientists thought that is not true. As long as the brain is given plenty of exercise, it keeps its power. It has been proved that an old person who has always been active in the mind has a quicker mind than a young person who has only done physical work without using much of his brain.(1). In the 19th century, scientist found that a person would lose the power to do certain things (B )A. when he got weaker in healthB.if certain parts of his brain were hurtC.after he did a quite different jobD.when he grew older(2).

Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? ( C)A. Scientists are working hard at the researches on the brain.B.As many as six million chemical changes take place in the brain every minute.C.A young man doing physical labor is sure to have a much slower min D.Even an old man may have a quick mind if his brain is given much exercise.(5). The more work we give to our brains( B)A. the less result we will gainB.the more work they are able to doC.the weaker their power will getD.the more tired they will feel3. People landing at London''s Heathrow airport have something new to look at as they fly over Britain''s capital city. It is attractive, simple and a little strange. The Millennium Dome ( 千禧穹 )is a huge semi-circle of plastic and steel and it contains the largest public space in the world. It has been built to house an exhibition of all that is best in British life, learning and leisure.The Millennium Dome was designed by Sir Richard Rogers, one ofBritain''s most famous architects ( 建筑师 ) . His work points the way to new developments in building. Think of it as a giant symbol of the buildings in which we will all be living and working in the near-future.Buildings are also a part of history. They express the culture of the times. Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility. While different designers have individual styles, their work also has a common style. That is: to express the values of the information age. What is an "information age" building? The Dome is a good example. After the Millennium exhibition ends, it will be used for another purpose. Just as people no longer have "jobs for life", modem buildings are designed for a number of different uses.Another Richard Roger''s building, the PompidouCenter in France, uses the idea that information is communication. Instead of being hidden in the walls, heating pipes and elevators are open to public view. The PompidouCenter is a very honest building. It tells you how it works.(1). The Millennium Dome has been originally built to holdan exhibition (C )A. of different building designsB. .of everything that can draw the attention of peopleC.of the finest things in BritainD.of recent developments in information technology(2). The sentence "His work points the way to new developments in building" (Para.2) implies that the designer Sir Richard Rogers (C )A. has developed a new set of building standardsB.strictly follows the tradition in his workC.is a pioneer architect of his ageD.is the father of modem architecture(3). Sir Richard Rogers clearly knows mat it is his duty to ( D)A. create something out of a unique styleB.house those people who will often change their jobsC.make his buildings historic onesD.construct a building that can meet the changes of the modem age(4). The PompidouCenter in France is outstanding in the fact that ( B)A. people in it are able to visit each other convenientlyB.visitors can see clearly the structure and facilities of the whole buildingC.it makes use of the best techniques invented in the information age D.it was designed and built by an honest British designer(5). This short passage mainly tells us about (A )A. the unique contribution of a famous architectB.modem buildings of various stylesC.a few developments in house-buildingD.the common features of British and French buildings4. One Sunday, Mark decided to go sailing in his boat with his friend Dan, but Dan happened to be away. Dan''s brother John offered to goinstead though he did not know anything about sailing. Mark agreed and they set out to sea.Soon they found themselves in a thick fog. Mark was sure they would be hit by a big ship. Fortunately he saw a large buoy ( 浮标 )through the fog and decided to tie the boat to it for safety. As he was getting onto the buoy, however, he dropped the wet rope. The boat moved away in the fog carrying John, who did not know how to use the radio. He drifted ( 漂移 ) about and was not seen until twelve hours later.Mark spent the night on the buoy. In the early morning he fell asleep. He was having a bad dream when a shout woke him up. A ship, the Good Hope, came up and he climbed onto it and thanked the captain. The captain told him that John had been picked up by another ship and the ship''s captain had sent out a message. "Without the message I would not have found you on the buoy," he said.(1). Why didn't Mark and Dan go sailing together? (B )A. Dan asked his brother to go insteadB.Dan was in some other place.C.Mark was in some other place.D.Mark would like to go with John(2). Mark tried to tie the boat to the buoy so that(C )A. he could spend the night on it whileJohn was looking for helpB.he and John could go sailing again when the fog clearedC.it wouldn't be hit by other shipsD.he might be picked up by a passing ship(3). John and Mark became separated because ( B)A. there wasn't room for both John and Mark on the buoyB.John couldn't control the boat and drifted awayC.Mark thought it safe to stay on the buoy but John didn'tD.John had to stay in the boat to radio for help(4). What made it possible for Mark to be found on the buoy? (A )A. John told people where to look for him.B.John radioed to the Good Hope to get him.C.He shouted when he caught sight of the Good Hope.D.The captain saw him as the fog cleared(5).

They have quick, easy journeys. But so far, men have been able to reach only the earth’s own moon.Suppose a man wanted to reach a distant star. Even if he traveled his whole life, he would have to move faster than the speed of the light. Nothing can move that fast except light itself.Strange things happen to an object when it moves rapidly. The object weighs more. An object moving at 86 percent of the speed of light is twice as heavy as it is at rest. A stick appears shorter. A clock runs more slowly. A man would not age so fast as he would on the earth.Light travels more than 186,000 miles a second, or about 11 million miles a minute. In one year, light travels six trillion miles. That great distance is called a light-year. It is used to measure distance in space.The star closest to our sun is Alpha Centauri. It is more than four light-years away. If one traveled at the speed of light, he could make a round trip to Alpha Centauri in nine years. But, even at that speed, he could not reach Alcaid (北斗星) in the handle of the Big Dipper. A one-way journey to Alcaid would take almost 200 years.1.阅读理解 (4.0) 分In this pa ssage the words “closest to our sun” means the star _________ .A、the earth we live onB、Alpha CentauriC、the Big DipperD、the moon2.阅读理解 (4.0) 分A one-way journey to Alcaid would take _________ .A、about nine yearsB、less than four yearsC、almost 200 yearsD、less than 100 years3.阅读理解 (4.0) 分Why do we measure the distance in light-years instead of miles?A、Units of light-years sound better.B、Using light- years reduced the number of figures used.C、We used to measure distance in light-years long ago.D、We do not make mistakes when we use light-years. 4.阅读理解 (4.0) 分If a stone moved at the speed of light, it _________ .A、would weigh twice more than it is motionlessB、would weigh as much as it is on earthC、would weigh less than it is on earthD、would not have weight at all5.阅读理解 (4.0) 分This story is mainly about _________ .A、the distance between the sun and the other starsB、the problems of traveling to faraway starsC、what happens when we travel faster than the speed of lightD、the tool we use when we go to faraway stars第2题 (20) 分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 d oomed 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 use the powerwhich defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than what you are capable of. 1.阅读理解 (4.0) 分The author _________ .A、orders you to analyze defeatB、wants you to face defeatC、advises you to let a baby grasp a rodD、warns you not to confuse defeat with fail2.阅读理解 (4.0) 分Defeat is valuable ________ .A、because it is a factorB、because it isn’t defeat that makes you failC、because it provides the guide and encouragement to successD、because it is not a thing to be ashamed of3.阅读理解 (4.0) 分What does the author know? ________ .A、he knows every success in lifeB、he knows the factor making for successC、he knows every man who is able to analyze defeatD、he knows the life of every man4.阅读理解 (4.0) 分The person who was able to analyze the defeat is likely ________ .A、to be a successorB、to face it with feeling ashamedC、to achieve successD、to be ashamed of it5.阅读理解 (4.0) 分What does the author advise one to do with the power which defeat gives? One should ________ .A、explore itB、explain itC、let a baby grasp a rodD、learn it第3题 (20) 分No man can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather.

I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between a writer and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours at a typewriter. “You have got to want to write,” I said to them, “not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building.It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself.
