This lifestyle may be limiting and keep us away from opportunities in which we might get better. Everyone has potential. If you don’t know what yours is, it just means you haven’t discovered it yet. Or perhaps you have it, but it was dismissed early in life. Find out how you can break free of society’s strict rules and find your calling in life.Emotional Intelligence by Daniel GolemanDo your emotions hold you back? Would you do better if your emotions were removed and you became unfeeling, logical creatures? Did you know if your pulse rate rises above 100 bpm, you’re believed too emotional to think rationally?

Relational processing.BOnce there was an old man, who was completely broke(破产的), living in a tiny house. He had to live on a $105-a-month social security(保障) check.At 65 years of age, he decided things had to change. So he thought about what he had to offer. His friends thought highly of his chicken recipe(烹饪法). He decided that this was his best shot at making a change.He left Kentucky and traveled to different states to try to sell his recipe. He told restaurant owners that he had a mouth-watering chicken recipe. He offered the recipe to them for free, just asking for a small percentage(比例) on the items sold. Sounds like a good deal, right?Unfortunately, not to most of the restaurants. He heard “NO” over l, 000 times, but he didn’t give up. He believed his chicken recipe was something special. He got rejected(拒绝) 1,009 times before he heard his first yes.With that one success, the old man changed the way Americans eat chicken. Kentucky Fried Chicken, popularly known as KFC, was born. The old man was Colonel Harland Sanders, who was an American businessman, best known for founding fast food chicken restaurant chain Kentucky Fried Chicken. His name and image(肖像) are still symbols of KFC now.24. When the old man was broke, we can infer that ______.A. he had a lot of fast food chicken restaurantsB. he gave away 105 dollars to others every monthC. he had no money and lived a poor lifeD. his image became a symbol of KFC25. In order to change his life, the old man decided ______.A. to get a social security checkB. to sell fried chicken in the streetC. to tell his friends the secret of his recipeD. to introduce his recipe to restaurants26. The old man succeeded after he tried ______ times.A. 1,000B. 1,001C. 1,009D. 1,01027. What can we learn from the passage?A. Actions speak louder than words.B. Always believe in yourself.C. Far from eye, far from heart.D. It’s never too old to learn.CMobile phone users in China expected a pleasant surprise this month. Starting from October 1, a new policy adopted by the three giant cellphone operators—China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom —has allowed unused data from individual data packages to be carried over to the next month for use.At the beginning, users of the three telecommunication companies welcomed this policy, since they would have more free data to use in the next month. However, even before Chinese users could enjoy the free extra package, the users found that since the adoption of the policy, the original data limits seem to be far more easily swallowed up, which means there wouldn’t be any unused data left for the next month. One user of China Unicom claimed that it took him only nine days to use up the data package of a month.Telecoms have become a necessity in modern life like water or power, and raising or lowering costs significantly affects people’s lives and finances. But disagreements between consumers and service providers cover discussion. It is too early to judge how long the disagreement between telecommunication companies and consumers over data packages will last, since, according to media reports, the measurement of data usage is difficult to track. Companies are using “user privacy” to avoid giving out any information.But reading through the companies posted online by cellphone users, we can sense the public’s distrust of stated-owned enterprises(SOEs). A survey done by the people’s Tribune Research Center in 2012 found that the public’s negative impression of SOEs came from the belief that they only rely on government support and their employees usually do easy jobs but get higher pay, yet their sense of service is far behind private and foreign enterprises.The current argument over the data package of three state-owned telecommunication giants reflects the extent of public anger. Among the country’s anti-corruption campaign(反腐败运动) and reforms, it shows the public’s enthusiasm for deepening reforms and making SOEs benefit domestic consumers.28.The attitude of the users towards the new policy of the three telecommunication companies at the beginning can be best described as ________.A.indifferentB. opposedC. positiveD. disappointed29. What is the result of the new policy adopted by the three telecommunication companies?A. Chinese phone users are allowed to send their unused data to their friends.B. Chinese phone users are presented with much cheaper individual data packages.C. Chinese phone users have no need to buy individual data packages.D. Chinese phone users consume the data much sooner than expected.30. Which of the following is NOT the public’s impression of SOEs?A. SOEs are supported by the government to a large extent.B. SOEs have benefited domestic consumers effectively.C. SOEs’ employees don’t deserve the high pay.D. SOEs’ service is worse than private and foreign enterprises.31. The last paragraph most probably implies that ________.A. the public are not satisfied with the reforms at presentB. the public do not care about the country’s reformsC. the public think highly of anti-corruption campaignD. the public are confident about the reform of SOEsDWith all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it’s not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling down in the dump, makes me feel good and warms my heart.How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don’t know the person I’m joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don’t get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were fromouter space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.32. What is the author’s attitude towards the present world?A. SatisfiedB. PositiveC. CriticalD. Indifferent33. The phrase “busting a gut” in the third paragraph can be replaced by .A. explaining carefullyB. speaking loudC. keeping silentD. laughing hard34. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that .A. it makes people more confidentB. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the worldC. it can pick up people’s spiritsD. it can help people get on well with others35. In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to .A. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeB. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeC. convince people of the power of humourD. talk about his own understanding of humor第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
