1 from her. She is 2 a brilliant businesswoman. Once she ran nine 3 at the same time just by
herself. 4 she talked to her employees, she"d stand on a box. Thus she could look them straight in the
eye and 5 connect with them.
These days I work in my sister"s restaurant. Of course, we quarrel with each other 6 , but I think
it"s 7 to be open and honest and let things out. 8 God has given us all kinds of senses, we should
each have our own 9 and, of course, we can"t always 10 with others.
One day a woman 11 Vicky was helping me prepare a salad for a cooking class. "You forgot sugar
and vinegar," Vicky pointed 12 . "They"re used in most salad cookbooks."
I 13 to her, "In my family, we don"t 14 sugar and vinegar to our salad" She argued,"We do in my
family, and our salad is very good."
"Yeah? Well, 15 is great!" I shouted back.
Back and forth we went 16 we both burst into tears. What are you doing? I asked myself. You
became so angry just 17 a recipe! Then I hugged Vicky 18 and she hugged me right back. We"ve
been best friends ever since.
Be real; Make 19 with people; Look them in the eye; Tell them how you feel; Don"t be afraid to
say 20 you mean. When you let go of the feelings you hold inside, you"ll be amazed at what comes back
to you.

skills in recognizing a suspect (嫌疑人), the policeman showed the first lady a picture for five seconds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thought it easy, for the suspect had only one eye. The policeman felt disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second lady the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would recognize him. The second girl smiled, flipped her hair, and said, "Ha! It"s easy to
find the one-eared person!" Her answer also made the policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he asked, "How would you recognize him?" He added quickly, "Think hard before giving a stupid answer. " The
third lady looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, "HMMMM . . . he is wearing contact
lenses (隐形眼镜)." The policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn"t know himself
if the man wore contacts or not. "Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check
his file. He left the room and went to his office, checked the suspect"s file in his computer and returned
with a beaming smile. "Wow! I can"t believe it . . . it"s TRUE! The man does in fact wear contact lenses.
Good work! How were you able to make such a wise observation?" "That"s easy," the girl replied, "He
can"t wear glasses because he only has one eye and one ear!"

images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary.
Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman"s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is different about this shoe is where it was
found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in
Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as
the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn"t need
in order to travel lighter?
Over 100, 000 people with "gold fever" made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them
understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a
dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.
The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with
them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies
in backpacks (背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to
the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman.
Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will
ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the
19th century.
B. it was found on a famous trail
C. it at one time belonged to a VIP
D. it was a fashionable shoe at that time
B. brought with them many shoes
C. had conflicts with the Eskimos
D. were not properly equipped
B. the army would have enough food for fighting a war
C. they would change these goods with the Eskimos
D. the supplies would make Alaska rich
B. she certainly dropped the shoe on purpose
C. her adventurous spirit is definitely admired
D. her other shoes were equally fashionable
The charm of a city is not the level of its tolerance (宽容), but the humanistic care and warmth it offers
to disadvantaged groups. Last week, Beijing"s urban administration and civil administration departments
began an intensive winter relief camp to persuade people forced to sleep on the streets to move to relief
centers, which was met with a cold response. But the government wouldn"t abandon their efforts to help
the needy.
Actually, it is not new for people used to sleeping on the streets to refuse to shift to relief centers.
There are three main reasons why they do so. First, the lack of understanding among the staff at such
centers has produced a sense of fear and strangeness among destitute people. Second, a relief center is
less convenient for such people and many of them, such as professional beggars, could even lose their
"jobs". And third, many of them know that they would finally be sent back home, which they want to
avoid.
Since the homeless are quite defensive, it would be better if officials take a friendly and patient attitude
to persuade them to move into relief centers. The officials have to explain to people that relief centers are more comfortable and convenient.
Besides, the government could build open centers, which are less formal than the existing relief centers, to provide temporary (临时的) place to professional beggars and garbage collectors, instead of forcing
them to return to their villages and towns.
A more flexible institutional arrangement could help clear the streets of extremely poor people.
Since the existing relief system is "non-professional", experts argue that more legal methods and
management measures are needed to deal with professional beggars, especially because persuasion alone
cannot stop them from begging.
Also, more measures have to be taken to make the system perfect.
B. The existing relief centers are "non-professional".
C. Many beggars do not want to be sent back to their original villages or towns.
D. Moving to relief centers will probably cause economic losses to the professional beggars.
B. hungry
C. ordinary
D. unfriendly
B. the existing relief centers are not comfortable or convenient.
C. many homeless people welcomed the winter relief program well.
D. the present relief system for beggars is not perfect
B. negative
C. neutral
D. not caring about

The World Always Makes Way For The Dreamer
When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall
listening to Mr.Zigler 1 everyone"s spirits up to the ceiling. I 2 there feeling like l could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said,"Dad,I want to 3 people feel like that." My
father asked me 4 I meant. "I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr.Zigler." I replied. A
5 was born.
Recently, I began seeking my dream of motivating others. 6 a four-year relationship with Fortune
100 company 7 as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager, I left the company at the
height of my 8 .Many people were 9 that I would leave after earning a six-figure income.And they
asked 10 I would risk everything for a dream. I made my 11 to start my own company and leave
my secure position after 12 a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a
13 that changed my life He asked us, "If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?"
After giving us a 14 to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, "Why do you need a 15 ?" I
would never forget the power I felt at that moment. I realize that 16 I had accomplished in the past had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and didn"t need a god"s help to be a motivational speaker. A
motivational speaker was 17 .
Having made that decision, I was immediately 18 . One week after I gave notice, my husband was
laid off from his job,and now we had no 19 . But I held fast to my dream. The wonder really began to
happen.In a short time my husband found a better job. And I was able to book several 20 engagements (业务) with new customers. I discovered the incredible power of dreams.
