Catching Crabs1 In the fall of our final year, our mood changed. the relaxed atmosphere of the preceding summer semester, the impromptu ball games, the boating on the Charles River, the late-night parties had disappeared, and we all started to get our heads down, studying late, and attendance at classes rose steeply again. We all sensed we were coming to the end of our stay here, that we would never get a chance like this again, and we became determined not to waste it. Most important of course were the final exams in April and May in the following year. No one wanted the humiliation of finishing last in class, so the peer group pressure to work hard was strong. Libraries which were once empty after five o'clock in the afternoon were standing room only until the early hours of the morning, and guys wore the bags under their eyes and their pale, sleepy faces with pride, like medals proving their diligence.大学最后一年的秋天，我们的心情变了。

A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people.The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor(港口).The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea-bed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The people would like to live in flats in the fifty-metre high outer wall. The flats would be all face inwards, and would be made of concrete(混泥土) and glass. The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this man-made harbor would be calm. On it would be floating islands carrying more building: a hospital, two theaters, museum, an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the islands would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water.People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas. There would be platforms outside the man wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.36. What was suggested about the construction of a new city at sea?A. The city was to be designed together with a harbor.B. The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass.C. The building of the city would rest on a floating island.D. The people would live in tall building surrounded by a wall.37. How would fresh water be supplied to the city?A. By treating sea water.B. By getting it from the surrounding islands.C. By building a small lake of fresh water inside the city.D. By transporting it from the mainland.38. The suggestion made by the organization is to solve the problem that _______.A. there is not enough space for building cities on landB. land transportation has became increasingly difficultC. there are too many people on landD. present cities are heavily polluted by cars39. The purpose of the writer is _______.A. to suggest how new type of harbor could be built at seaB. to give a description of a new-type cityC. to draw people's attention to the problem of air pollutionD. to introduce a new way of building harbor-citiesBHow to OrderOrdering from BooksFirst is easy and safe.Selecting Your BooksWhen you have found a book you would like to order, just click on Add to Basket and it will be added to your shopping basket.

In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Dasucah, Kentucky.Most of the expulsions, 56 percent, were from high school, which have students from about age 13. 34 percent were from junior high schools and 9 percent were from elementary schools, the report said.44. The main idea of the passage is that in the US schools _______.A. students enjoy shootingB. students are eager to be soldiersC. safety is a problemD. students can make guns45. From what Richard Riley said we can infer that ________.A. the number of the expulsions is not largeB. the number of the expulsion is wrongC there are soldiers hiding among the studentsD. guns are out of control in US schools46. The main idea of paragraph four shows us ______.A. some examples of shoot in US schools.B. the American's feeling.C. some famous schools.D. that some teachers were killed by students.47. From this passage we get to know that ________.A. every American cannot have gunsB. only soldiers and police can have gunsC. every American citizen can own gunsD. teachers have no money to buy gunsDAll over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean(庞大的) task of making faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of mankind. For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to desktop that the present Internet may not match.Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without refusing the demands of those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript （手稿）of Beowulf in London. Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the Manuscript with three different light sources and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to use.A second benefit is convenience. Once books are changed to digital form, readers can find them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can read the same book or view the same picture at the same time. Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. And libraries could use the Internet to lend their collections to those who are unable to visit in person.The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. The cost of library buildings is increasingly high. The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $ 46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million books----an average cost of $30 per volume. The price of disk storage, on the contrary, has fallen to about $ 2 per 300-page publication and continues to drop.48. What is the message in the first paragraph?A. More people can read precious books.B. The Internet provides more information.C. Libraries are making efforts to preserve books.D. Libraries are making digital copy of books.49. Which words in the second paragraph help you to identify the supporting points?A. three, First, for exampleB. benefits, manuscript, scholarsC. helps, holds, scannedD. clear, qualified, different50. Which of the following is mentioned in the text as benefits of going digital?A. Fewer staff will be required in libraries.B. Libraries will be able to move underground.C. Borrowers need not go to the library building.D. Old manuscripts can be moved more easily.51. How is the text organized?A. Opinion – DescriptionB. Message – ExplanationC. Main idea – ComparisonD. Introduction – ConclusionEWell, when the huge wave hit the boat, my safety belt broke and I was swept overboard.I don't really understand how it happened, but it did. I heard someone yell out, but then my boat, Wild One, went off into the darkness and I was alone in a very rough sea. I then spent five and a half hours in the water. The place where it happened was, oh, about 50 kilometers from shore. It was likely that I wouldn't see another day, but I always thought I'd overcome the difficulties. At first I was watching out for Wild One. The rest of the crew knew I was gone, so they were sure to come back and look for me. After a while, I saw the boat's lights when it came looking for me. They were within about 300 meters of me, but the spotlight just missed me. The reason why they didn't see me was because of the huge waves. You know, I started sailing when I was seven, and started ocean racing when I was about eighteen, but I'd never been overboard before. I believed I was going to survive, but it was very cold, and as the hours passed I started to get desperate——and frozen! It was around 5 am when I saw the lights of a tanker coming towards me. I figured it was probably my last chance. At first, I thought they were going to miss me, and then they made a slight turn and I yell ed out “Help!” and they heard me. Then another yacht appeared. These guys were terrific. They gave me dry clothes, and then one jumped into the bunk and hung onto me. They covered us with as much dry clothing as they could, and the guy in with me stayed to transfer his body heat to me.52. The author of the passage was alone in the sea NOT because ______.A. the wind was too strongB. the wave hit the boatC. the safety belt was brokenD. his boat was in the darkness53. He was not saved by his crew because _______.A. he didn't yell out “Help!”B. 300 meters was long distanceC. he was not foundD. he didn't see the spotlight54. It was inferred from the passage that _______.A. he was swept overboard at about midnightB. Wild One was the name of a crew memberC. he started ocean racing at about sevenD. he was too hopeless to take the last chance55. One of the guys who saved him jumped into the bunk in order to ________.A. cover him with more dry clothesB. warm him with his body heatC. comfort himD. congratulate himIV 短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误.对标题号的每一行做出判定：如无错误，在该行右边的横线上划（√）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情形改正：此行多一个词：把余外的词用斜线划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉. 此行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（^），在该行右边横线上写出该加的词.此行错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词. 注意：原行没有错的不要改.Last night I was getting ready for the coming examination 56.when the noise from my neighbor interrupts me.

Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.—AristotleOur character,basically,is a composite of our habits.“Sow a thought,reap an action;sow an action,reap a habit;sow a habit,reap a character;sow a character,reap a destiny,”the maxim goes.Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly,daily,express our character and produce our effectiveness... or ineffectiveness.As Horace Mann,the great educator,once said, “Habits are like a cable.We weave a strand of it every day and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression.I know they can be broken. Habits can be learned and unlearned.But I also know it isn't a quick fix.It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo ll were transfixed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth.Superlatives such as “fantastic” and “incredible” were inadequate to describe those eventful days.But to get there,those astronauts literally had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth.More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.Habits,too, have tremendous gravity pull—more than most people realize or would admit. Breaking deeply imbedded habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience,criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives.“Lift-off”takes a tremendous effort,but once we break out of the gravity pull,our freedom takes on a whole new dimension.Like any natural force,the gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go.But it is also the gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order.It is a powerful force,and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cohesiveness and ordernecessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.“Habits” DefinedFor our purposes,we will define a habit as the intersection of knowledge, skill, and desire. Knowledge is the theoretical paradigm,the what to do and the why. Skill is the how to do. And desire is the motivation,the want to do. In order to make something a habit in our lives, we have to have all three.I may be ineffective in my interactions with my work associates,my spouse,or my children because I constantly tell them what I think, but I never really listen to them. Unless I search out correct principles of human interaction, I may not even know I need to listen.Even if I do know that in order to interact effectively with others I really need to listen to them, I may not have the skill. I may not know how to really listen deeply to another human being.But knowing I need to listen and knowing how to listen is not enough. Unless I want to listen, unless I have the desire, it won't be a habit in my life. Creating a habit requires work in all three dimensions.The being/seeing change is an upward process—being changes seeing, which in turn changes being, and so forth, as we move in an upward spiral of growth. By working on knowledge, skill, and desire, we can break through to new levels of personal and interpersonal effectiveness as we break with old paradigms that may have been a source of pseudo-security for years.It's sometimes a painful process. It's a change that has to be motivated by a higher purpose, by the willingness to subordinate what you think you want now to what you want later. But this process produces happiness, which can be defined,in part at least,as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually.Extended readingTime managementGood afternoon.Let me begin my presentation by asking you this question: how much time does it take you to sleep, eat, commute and maintain your personal hygiene every day? Do some quick calculations, and it will occur to you that these essential activities take up an enormous part of your day, leaving only limited time to stay with family and friends, pursue a hobby or work on personal development.Managing your time effectively, therefore, becomes a matter of critical importance. It means that you will be able to accomplish much more with less effort in shorter periods of time. It will keep your stress levels to a minimum, boost your performance and give you a sense of accomplishment, leading to improved self-confidence and a more positive outlook on life. Importantly, effective time management will not only support your studies today, but also help you throughout your adult life. So, now that you understand why good time management is of great importance, how can you improve your ability to manage your time? There are many things you can do, but let me share with you what I consider to be the three most important skills.The first thing you need to do is to plan ahead.Get into the habit of thinking about upcoming events and making a monthly, weekly or even daily to-do list. This will give you a measure of control over what is going to happen. Whether it is a planner that you stick on the wall or a calendar app on your smartphone, finding an organizing tool that works well for you is essential. Then, record all important events such as exams, projects and rehearsals, so that you know all the dates and deadlines and can prepare accordingly.After you have all that needs to be done in mind, you can set about creating favourable conditions to actually get things done. This is about the skill of organization. Being well organized includes making sure you have everything ready for tomorrow's lessons and after-school activities. It is also important for you to organize your personal space at home so that when you are doing your homework, you are in a tidy place, free from distractions. This includes putting away your mobile phone until you have finished everything that needs to be done.Most importantly,you must learn to prioritize all your tasks. There is only a limited amount of time in a day, and even with good planning and organization, it is not always possible to complete everything that needs to be done. In such circumstances,you will have to decide which tasks should be completed first. According to Stephen Covey's Time Management Matrix, there are four equal areas indicating the tasks that you have to or want to do every day. You should classify the activities in the four areas and identify which are urgent and important, which are not urgent but important,which are urgent but not important, and which are neither urgent nor important. Understanding that tasks can be classified in this way will help you prioritize what needs to be done. While choosing which task needs to be done first can be a difficult decision to make, it is important not to let peer pressure or the quest for short-term rewards influence you, but to focus on the goals you have set for yourself and stick to them.To bring my presentation to a conclusion,let me point out that once you start taking little steps every day to plan, organize and prioritize the activities you intend to devote your energy, skills and talents to, you will immediately begin to reap the rewards of your actions. The well-known Chinese writer Lu Xun said, “Time is like the water ina sponge. If you are willing to squeeze, you will always get some.” Time is a finite resource,but with a little effort you can always find the time to do what needs to be done. To say “I have no time" is only an excuse for avoiding doing something that could actually be done. I hope you have found my talk interesting and useful and that you never again have to say “I don't have the time to do that” .。
