Sir Steven Redgrave
Winner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals
“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病). Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it — the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn"t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”
Karen Pickering
Swimming World Champion
“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success — you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”
Kirsten Best
Poet & Writer
“When things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’, ‘peace’ or ‘focus’, either out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool.”

举一反三
After years of her crying, I finally gave in and allowed my daughter to have a cat. I now regret my decision. As someone needs to have a clean, tidy house, I no longer feel relaxed in my own home. If I tell her, “sorry, the cat has to go.” She will be heartbroken. What can I do?
-Feline Phobic
Dear Phobic,
I’m an animal lover and on your kid’s and cat’s side. Tell your daughter your problem. Ask her to help you come up with a plan. Perhaps you can agree to allow the cat only in certain areas of the house. This is a chance for your daughter to develop the sense of responsibility owning a pet requires.
Dear Aunty,
I got the highest grade on a biology test. Now the popular kids think I’m brainy, and want me in their lab group. I knew I was being used. Now, they want my homework. What should I do?
-Lily
Dear Lily,
Popularity can come at a price, but it’s no excuse to cheat. Offer to help new friends with their homework, but don’t give them yours.
Dear Aunty,
I’m one of six assistants in a dental (牙科的)office. But I’m new there just four months. I’ve tried to join conversations, but they just ignore me. They go shopping together. No one invites me. How can I break into the circle?
-Crystal
Dear Crystal,
Humans run in packs like dogs. When a new dog enters the pack, a lot of discovery goes on. So bring cookies for everyone! Then try making friends with one co-worker. Invite her to lunch. When you get familiar with each other, tell her how hard you’re finding the situation at work. Chances are, she’ll take you under her wing.

Some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names, but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines. They don’t even care that they are the names of destructive storms. Because more women seem to like it than dislike it, the Weather Bureau has decided to continue using girl’s names for hurricanes.
In some ways a hurricane is like a person. After it is born, it grows and develops, then becomes old and dies. Each hurricane has a character of its own. Each follows its own path through the world, and people remember it long after it gone. So it is natural to give hurricanes’ names, and to talk about them almost if they were alive.
小题1:What happens to girls named Hazel according to the passage?
A.They suffer from hurricanes. |
B.The Weather Bureau look for them. |
C.Others often make fun of them. |
D.They can’t find boyfriend. |
A.trouble | B.difference | C.sameness | D.success |
A.consider the disagreement of some women |
B.go on naming hurricanes after women |
C.name hurricanes after men |
D.look for a new method to name hurricanes |
The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the mastery test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test, it is not the fault of drama and music classes— they are failing because the “ academic” classes are not sufficient.
It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged from singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.
Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art— there is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge — certainly not a good preparation for the real world.
小题1:Music and drama are not included in the high-school curriculum mainly because________.
A.the school committee pays no attention to them |
B.the school is afraid of losing financial support |
C.the students are not interested in both of them |
D.the state standardized test is more important. |
A.The sufficiency of the classes determines students’ performance in the mastery test |
B.students can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons |
C.The school committee completely influences students’ attitude towards the arts |
D.Quite a few students are discouraged from music and art in today’s school system. |
A.make students round-shaped people in future |
B.provide students with analytical thinking |
C.motivate students in creativity and expression |
D.prevent students graduating from high school |
A.Who Killed Music and Drama? |
B.Can Curriculum Go Without Music? |
C.Why is Music So Important? |
D.How To Prepare For the Real World? |
Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They prevent need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies.
All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 per cent a year, yet sensible purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks, interest-free credit.Using the card abroad, where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account, can extend this period even further.
It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on a particular credit card. It is necessary to consider the amount of credit granted; interest rates, which may vary slightly; the number and range of outlets(经销店), though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and department stores; and of course, what happens if your card is lost or stolen.A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential goldmine particularly if there is a delay in reporting the loss of the card.
However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing, or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty.
小题1:The hotheaded are people who ________.
A.spend more money than they have |
B.spend less money than other people |
C.save money |
D.make money |
A.to enable you to buy things without carrying large amount of cash |
B.to encourage people to spend more money |
C.to be always useful in emergencies |
D.to help people tide over a period of financial difficulty |
A.the amount of credit granted |
B.the number and range of outlets |
C.the possibility of loss of money |
D.the department stores where you are going to use your credit cards |
A.floating with the tide of | B.going through a difficult period of |
C.rising and falling with the tide of | D.attempting to go against the tide of |
Officials from the university are reluctant to give interviews.校方官员们不愿接受采访。
“We had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides,” said Zhang Jingyuan,one official of HUST.
“Media coverage may arouse some students’ negative emotions again.Suicide can be contagious,” Zhang said.他说,“媒体的报道将会再次引发学生的消极情绪,自***是会传染的。”
The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23.对于今年10月23号发生的第一起自***事件,华中科技大学迅速做出应急措施。
Advisors and class leaders conducted dorm-to-dorm checks to find students suffering depression.Then psychologists offered one-on-one counseling to them.辅导员和班长们走访了每个宿舍,找出遭遇抑郁的学生。然后,心理咨询师会为这些学生提供一对一的心理咨询。
Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers’ mental problems and offering help were set up in front of dorm buildings.Leaflets carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm.宿舍楼前竖起一些布告栏,为同学们普及关于如何发现身边人遭遇心理问题并提供帮助的小贴士。印有类似内容的小册子也被分发给每个寝室。
However,the second suicide came seven days later.然而,七天后,第二起自***事件发生了。
Both students were described as men of few words.Their schoolmates didn’t see anything to indicate suicide.据周围人描述,这两名学生都很少言寡语。他们的同学都没有觉察到任何自***前的征兆。
Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders.But the school didn’t know this until the students’ close friends outside school and their parents unveiled the truth after the suicides.章劲元透露,这两名学生曾经饱受心理疾病的困扰。但是学校对此并不知情,他们校外的好友和家长也是在自***事件发生后才说出实情。
According to Zhang,there are only three full-time counselors working in the university’s counseling center for its 60,000 students.He complained: “It’s unrealistic to rely only on counselors to detect students’ mental problems.”据章劲元说,全校共有六万名学生,但学校的心理咨询中心只有三位全职心理咨询师。他抱怨说:“仅仅依靠心理咨询师来察觉学生的心理问题,这是不现实的。”
Effective prevention comes from long-term education for life instead of temporary intervention to meet an emergency,said Hu Yi’an.Hu delivers a course of lectures on life and death at Guangzhou University.He worries that universities have paid little attention to education for life.有效的预防来自于长期的生命教育,而并非遭遇紧急状况时的临时干预,胡毅安(音译)说。他在广州大学教授以生命和死亡为主题的课程。他为各大高校给予生命教育的关注少之又少而担忧。
“Education for life helps students respect and love life so they won’t resort to ending their lives when they have difficulties,” said Hu.“生命教育可以帮助学生尊重、热爱生命,这样一来,当他们遇到困难的时候就不会选择结束生命了,” 胡毅安说。
According to Hu,the principles can be incorporated into everyday teaching.胡毅安还表示,这些观念可以融入到日常教学中去。
Hu is also concerned that some universities are conveying discriminatory message that will hold back students from seeking help.胡老师也很担心一些大学传递出带有歧视性的信息会使得学生们不愿去寻求帮助。
When HUST conducted the dorm-to-dorm examination,students with poor academic performance were paid special attention.In March,Peking University also released a controversial policy,which required teachers to have a chat with students “with biased thinking”.当华中科技大学校方挨个宿舍进行走访时,学习成绩较差的学生也被给予了特别关照。三月份,北京大学也推行了一项备受争议的政策,该新规要求教师们要找那些学生中的“激进分子”谈话。
However,Hu suggested that students step out of their comfort zone to seek real-life communication.
