When I was at primary school in the second grade, I used to follow my elder sister who is five
years older than me. She loved sports and was always playing basketball and softball. She was also
a runner and was good at it. She brought home some running awards, so I was motivated and started
running, too.
I started training at school and never missed even a day. Even if it was raining, I was training. At first
I was not very good; but as the years passed, I got better and better and started to win some competitions.
Breaking records
In 1994, I won the Mexican National Championships. Later, I won fourth place in the Pan-American
games that were held in Santiago de Chile. In 1996, I broke the Mexican record; and in 1997, I won
fourth place in the Central American Games. In 1997 and 1998, I again won the Mexican National
Championships and broke the Mexican records. Now I want to improve my personal record of 19
feet, 2 inches.
Plans for the future
I"m in Houston now, training with coach Tom Tellez at the University of Houston. He is the best
coach in the world. He also trained Carl Lewis, one of the best US athletes. I have the support of my
parents who always come with me to all my meets. I think that"s why I"m where I am. Next year
I have some very important competitions. One of them is in Canada in July 1999. I hope I do well.

举一反三
is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here"s how.
Plan your time carefully.
When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After , you
should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then
decide a good, regular time for studying. Don"t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A
weekly schedule may not solve all the problems, but it will force you to real
ize what is happening to your time.
Find a good place to study.
Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply
a corner of your room, free of everythi
ng but study materials. No games, radios or TV! When yousit down to study, concentrate on the subject.
Make good use of your time in class.
Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means
lesswork later. Taking class notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly.
When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher
has mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material.
This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become
more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude towards the tests.
The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you to remember
your new knowledge. The world won"t end if you don"t pass a test, so don"t be overly worried.
There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many
others after you have tried these.
2．Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
Never let tests trouble you in your study.
3．Please fill in the blank in the third paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(Please answer within 10 words.)
4．Which suggestion do you think is the best for you ? Why?(Please answer within 30 words.)
5．Translate the underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph into Chinese.
are a few of the most important ones.
First, if you have ever seen someone flying a kite in a movie, you probably saw him or her get the kite
off the ground by running into the wind. However, this is not the way to launch a kite. Most beginners will
find a "high start" launch to be the easiest. For a high start launch, have a friend stand about one hundred
feet away, facing into the wind. Your friend should face you and hold the kite gently. Place some tension(拉力) on the flying line by pulling gently on the line. With a steady breeze behind you, tug gently on the
line, and the kite will rise.
If your kite begins to dive (俯冲), don"t panic or pull on the line. Dropp
ing the reel (线轴) will cause it to spin out of control, and could cause someone to be hurt. Simply let the line go slack (松弛的). This
usually will right the kite in midair.
For a kite that is pulling hard away from you, have a friend stand behind you and take up the slack line as you bring it in. Hand over hand, pull down the kite. It is very important to have gloves o
n to do this, or you may burn or cut your hands. It is recommended (建议) that you always wear gloves while flying
kites.
When two kite lines get crossed, pulling may cause enough friction to cut one or both of the lines.
Instead of pulling, both fliers should walk towards one another until their lines uncross as they pass.
pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man
faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.
How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building
blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your
life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles,
they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going
to be built up on them.
Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a
different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or
freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem
has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.
Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right
beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what
happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need
to know is that you are loved wherever you are.
B. Stay calm.
C. Keep up.
D. Feel upset.
B. attitude is everything
C. challenges can be avoided
D. personalities are built on failures
B. are not alone
C. should only believe ourselves
D. are not confident
B. To compare.
C. To prove.
D. To explain
happy is easier said than done.
Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store(零售店), but instead
will warn their friends, relatives, co-workers, strangers and anyone who will listen. Store managers
are often the last to hear complaints. "Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers," said
Paula Courtney, President of the Verde group. "The store loses the customer, but the shopper mus
t also find a replacement."
The most common complaints include filled parking lots, cluttered(塞满了的)shelves, overloaded
racks, out-of-stock items, long check-out lines, and rude sales people.
During peak shopping hours, some retailers solved the parking problems by getting moonlighting
local police to work as parking attendants to direct customers to empty parking spaces. Retailers
can relieve the headaches by redesigning store display, pre-stocking sales items, hiring speedy and
experienced cashiers, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions. Most importantly,
sales people should be skillful and polite with angry customers.
"Retailers who"re enthusiastic and friendly are more likely to smooth over issues than those who
aren"t so friendly." said Professor Stephen Hoch. "Maybe something as a greeter at the store entrance
would help."
Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by filing complaints to the retailer, instead
of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are hard-pressed to improve when they have no idea
what is wrong.
B. Shoppers would rather tell their unhappy experiences to people around them.
C. Few customers believe the service will be improved after their complaints.
D. It is difficult for customers to have easy access to store mangers.
B. It is not likely the shopper can find the same products in other stores.
C. The same products can be bought in other retail stores.
D. Not complaining to the manager causes the shopper some trouble too.
B. Hiring of efficient employees.
C. Huge supply of goods for sale.
D. Design of the store display.
B. settle their disagreements with stores in a friendly way
C. voice their dissatisfaction to store managers directly
D. shop around and make comparisons between stores
some level. Each week we spend hours playing or watching others compete in sporting activities
all over the world. We cannot help being impressed by the level of excellence that these people
achieve.
In sport and business, competition encourages excellence in performance. Where there is no
competition, improvement in performance is less likely. Some level of competition is a have-to in
all aspects of life.
The following story makes this point.
As two friends are hiking in the forest they encounter a huge, ferocious and obviously hungry
Grizzly Bear. Its next meal has just come into sight, and they are it! The first friend calculates that
the bear will overtake them in 27.3 seconds. At that point, she panics; realizing there is no escape.
She faces her friend, with the fear of death in her eyes. To her amazement, she observes that her
friend is not scared at all. To the contrary, her friend is quickly but calmly taking off her hiking boots
and putting on jogging shoes. "What do you think you"re doing?" the first hiker says to her companion,
"You"ll never be able to outrun that grizzly." "That"s true," says the companion, "but all I have to do
is outrun you."
We all compete when the motivation is strong enough. However, competition is not the real
purpose of life. Fulfilling the measure of our creation can only be achieved individually.
Most of time, we are not in competition with any other person, so we do not have to compare
ourselves with others. There is only one person that can fulfill our role and that is us. This means
that others cannot beat us to the finish line because there is no race. This is not to say that others
do not have a similar role to us, but it is never the same. This is important to understand if we are
going to enjoy life. Every human being is unique and cannot be duplicated. In this, I am not referring
to the body, only to the spirit, soul, or the essence of a person.
B. only exists in sports and business
C. is unavoidable and beneficial
D. is a fight against oneself
B. To expose the weak side of friendship when tested.
C. To support the author"s own argument on competition.
D. To offer evidence of necessary competition in life.
B. we don"t have to compete since we are all different
C. we have to beat others in order to survive
D. there is more to life than just competition
B. face competition in a balanced state of mind
C. have a strong sense of being a possible winner
D. value friendship however fierce competition may be
