Then I saw one of the camp counselors approaching me. "Oh great," I thought, since counselors were
always trying to cheer you up or make you laugh.
"Hey," he said, "mind if I have a seat?" I shrugged(耸肩). I wasn"t going to encourage him, but I couldn"t exactly stop him, either. He sat down alongside me and extended a hand. "I"m Gary," he said, "and
you"re Erica, right?" I nodded. "You don"t exactly look like you"re having a good time," he began.
I crossed my arms and gritted my teeth. "Look," I said, "I didn"t want to come to camp, I don"t like it, I"m not having fun, and it basically stinks." I glared at Gary.
"So there"s nothing here at all for you, huh?" he asked.
"Nothing," I answered.
"Let me show you something," said Gary. He got up, and I followed him along the path until I heard a
sound like a roaring freight train.
"What"s that?" I asked.
"Wait and see," he replied, with a small smile.
When we rounded the corner, I couldn"t believe what I saw. There was the biggest waterfall I could
ever imagine, right in front of me. "Cool!" I said, and I could feel my eyes getting bigger and a smile tugging at my mouth.
"Still think there"s nothing here for you?" asked Gary. "Because there"s a whole lot more of this kind of "nothing" around here."
I had to admit, the waterfall was impressive.
"Look," said Gary, "camp is what you make it. You can be sullen(阴郁的) and closed-minded and
have a rotten four weeks, or you can take a look around you and see some of the incredible sights and
appreciate the opportunity. It would be useless for me to try to make you have fun. You can only do that
for yourself. But if you loosen up a little, you might actually have a good time." With that, he turned and
walked away, leaving me on the path.
That night, by the campfire, I found myself singing along with everyone else. By the time the four weeks were up, I didn"t want to leave. I"d seen some amazing things and made some great friends.
Beauty is where you find it. Life is what you make it. I think it"s going to be a good year this year. I
mean, I"m going to work to make it one. Maybe if I"m lucky, I"ll get to go back to camp next year!
B. she would say hello to him
C. he would talk about his life
D. she would tell him to go away
B. She is looking forward to the future.
C. She"s a good student who gets mostly A"s.
D. She often gets into trouble at school.
B. Parents are always making kids do things they don"t want to do.
C. You will forget your trouble by the campfire.
D. Waterfalls always make you feel better.

too, but he laughed too long and too loud. That made me think. I realized that he didn"t believe that I
could do it. That made me angry, and determined; now he knows that I can!
Training wasn"t easy, but I kept going. I didn"t need special training but I did need to buy very good
shoes. Each day, I went a little further. By the end of three months, I was running five days a week.
Some-times in the evenings I ran 10 km; on Sunday mornings, I sometimes ran about 30 kin. I used to
come home, have a shower and eat my breakfast. I felt wonderful!
On the day of the race in London, I lined up with about 30,000 other runners. The faster runners
were at the front, while slower runners like me were placed further back. In that way, the professional
runners and club runners were not slowed down by the amateurs.
At first, there were so many runners close together that we were almost falling over each other. We
could only run very slowly but that was a good thing because it meant that we didn"t rush off too quickly.
Gradually the runners spread out and there was more space. There were thousands of people watching
us along the route and they cheered and clapped everyone, even the slowest runner. It was wonderful!
For the first 10 km I felt very happy and my legs felt very comfortable. However, at 15 km I got a
pain in my side and running became difficult, but I kept going and the pain disappeared. At the 30 km
mark, I felt extremely tired, and wanted to stop, but I kept on going. I covered another 3 km and then
I began to feel better again.
By the time I reached the 35 km mark, I knew I was going to get to the end of the course. Somehow
that confidence made me feel lighter and faster and it seemed as if my legs flew over the last few
kilometers. I passed hundreds of slower runners, some of whom had passed me earlier, and I felt
wonderful! AS I came round the last bend and saw the finishing line, I could see three runners ahead of
me. I raced past all of them to finish the race in just under four hours. The winner had completed the race
in 2 hours and 10 minutes, but I didn"t care! I had run 42 km and completed my first marathon!
B. he .didn"t think she could run the marathon
C. he wanted her to run the marathon
D. she wanted to run the marathon
B. many runners fell over each other
C. all the runners were asked to run slowly
D. the professional runners and club runners ran very fast
B. got a pain in her side
C. reached the 30 kilometer mark
D. was about to reach the finish line
B. than to run too fast at the beginning
C. than to run slowly at the end
D. than to run very fast all the time
each team, they walked to the North Pole. Apart from one experienced female guide, the other women
were all ordinary people who had never done anything like this in their lives before. They managed to
survive in an environment which had defeated several very experienced men during the same time period.
The women set off as soon as they were ready. Once on the ice, each woman had to ski along while
dragging a sledge (雪橇) weighing over 50 kilos. This would not have been too bad on a smooth surface, but for long distances, the Arctic ice is pushed up into huge piles two or three metres high, and the sledges had to be pulled up one side and carefully let down the other so that they didn’t become damaged. The
temperature was always below the freezing point and sometimes strong winds made walking while pulling
so much weight almost impossible. It was also very difficult for them to put up their tents when they
stopped each night.
In such conditions, the women were making good progress if they covered fourteen or fifteen
kilometres a day. But there was another problem. Part of the journey was across a frozen sea with moving water underneath the ice and at some points the team would drift (漂流) back more than five kilometres
during the night. That meant that after walking in these very severe conditions for ten hours on one day,
they had to spend part of the next day covering the same ground again. Furthermore, each day it took
three hours from waking up to setting off and another three hours every evening to set up the camp and
prepare the evening meal.
So, how did they manage to succeed? They realized that they were part of a team. If any one of them
didn"t pull her sledge or get her job done, she would endanger the success of the whole expedition (探险). Any form of selfishness could result in the efforts of everyone else being completely wasted, so personal
feelings had to be put to one side. At the end of their journey, the women agreed that it was mental effort
far more than physical fitness that got them to the North Pole.
B. The women did not have any men with them.
C. It was a new experience for most of the women.
D. The women had not met one another before.
A. falling over on the ice
B. being left behind
C. damaging the sledges
D. getting too cold at night
B. the ice was moving
C. they kept getting lost
D. the temperatures were too low
或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空,并将答案填写在答题卷标号为1~10的相应位置上。
Everybody was eager to hear a success story from him. He , 1 , only said with a slight smile: "Wouldn"t
it be better for me to ask you for 2 (advise) on a certain problem?
Here is the problem he raised:
"People all rushed to the place 3 a gold mine had recently been discovered but they were blocked
by a river 4 (flow) across the only way to it. What would you do if you 5 (be ) among them?"
"Make a roundabout (绕行的) way," someone suggested.
"Swim across," said another.
The genius smiled 6 a word. Then he gave his view: "Why not do 7 else instead of rushing to the
mine? How about buying a boat to do some ferrying (摆渡)?"
The audience was shocked. He explained calmly: "The man could make 8 great amount of money from
the passengers. They were willing to pay for the ferry 9 there was gold on the other bank."
Do what others have not thought to do or something never attempted before - that is the key 10
success. A difficult circumstance, in the eyes of a wise man, often means a potential chance for success.
didn"t believe me because he seized the shopping bag right out of my hand.
"Do you have a receipt for this?"he asked doubtfully, putting any new back-to-school
outfit (全套装备) onto the dusty floor near the mall entrance.
"Of course I do," I replied, fishing my wallet out of my coat pocket. Elsie and Monica,
my two best friends, stood beside me. They were laughing their heads off!
I almost tore my wallet apart for the receipt, but it had disappeared." Let me look again,"
I said nervously. Then I looked again, and again, and again!
My face was getting hotter by the minute and my heart was beating like a racehorse.
Finally, I looked back at the guard and whispered, "It"s not here." The guard picked up my
clothes and said, "You"ll have to come with me, Miss."
When he opened the office door, I saw a man sitting behind a big metal desk. It was the
manager. Then I had an idea.
"May I say something?" I asked. "I can prove I didn"t steal this thing." Then I explained all
about the cashier (出纳员).She said that she had bought the exact same outfit as a birthday
present for her little sister. "We"ll just see about that," the manager said and went off to find her.
Ten minutes later, I was free!
It was terrible to be unfairly accused of something!Then I remembered shouting at my sister
that very morning for taking my new hair clips. Had she really taken them?I made a promise
that day never to accuse someone of something without proof, and I haven"t. At least something
good came out of my terrible experience.
B. Because she had no money in her wallet.
C. Because her face turned red after being caught.
D. Because she didn"t have a receipt for the outfit.

C. you should not doubt others if you can"t prove it

the railway station, he saw a young man coming out with two bags in his hands. So he quickly opened the door of the car and asked, "Where do you want to go, sir?"
"To the Star Hotel," the young man answered. When the car driver heard that, he didn"t feel happy.
The young man would give him only three dollars because the hotel was not far from the railway station.
But suddenly, he had an idea. He took the passenger through many streets of the big city.
After a long time, the car finally arrived at the hotel. "You should pay me fifteen dollars," the car driver
said to the young man. "What! Fifteen dollars? Do you think I"m a fool? Only last week I took a car from
