generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified
and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns
a new language-all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．
By contrast (对照) , the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a
journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but
the attitudes, feelings people have , and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and
unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to
experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the
unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may "fail" at first. How we see ourselves as we try a
new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If
so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we"re shy
and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are
slow to adapt to change or that we"re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge．Then we are likely
to take a more passive role or not try at all.
These feelings of insecurity (不安全) and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to
change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a
shell of our own making．
B. grow up from his own achievements
C. face difficulties and take up challenges
D. aim high and reach his goal each time
B. Jane won the first prize in the speech competition．
C. Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris．
D. Father"s salary rose from 5, 000 to 7,000．
B. being quick in self-adaptation
C. having an open mind to new experiences
D. staying away from failures and challenges
B. To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable．
C. There are only two ways to see a person"s growth．
D. If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow up．
B. Growth-Product or Process
C. Two Basic Ways of Growth
D. Overcoming Internal Fears

With his graduation from West Point, Henry Romanek sailed toward Omaha Beach on the eve of Dday. It was June 1944, and he was about to face the bloodiest battle of his life. Just yesterday, it seemed, he was a standout soldier on the Army team. Now, he was a leader of youngsters in battle, fighting, quite literally, for his country and the future of the free world. In this book, Lars Anderson retraces Romanek"s life and that of three other soldiers.

Copies in Seconds
With the push of a button, anyone can make copies of almost anything - unlike the old days, when papers had to be rewritten long-hand, carbon-copied out of fussy mimeograph machines (蜡纸油印机). In Copies in Seconds, David Owen showed how a shy engineer named Chester Carlson perfected his xerography machine (静电复印机) and shopped it around until finally hooking up with the Haloid Corporation. That partnership led to the Xerox copier and changed the face of work forever.

State of Grace
Back in the late 1950s and early 1960s, the Lynvets was just a foot-ball team in a sandy New York City neighborhood. But to most of its members - the author, Robert Timberg, included - the team was their only experience of a happy family, their only chance to rise above lousy everyday circumstances, their only shot at being heroes. The friendships these men formed sustained (维持) them throughout their lives.

without their mobiles, never leave home without them and, if given a choice, would rather lose their wallet.
Calling mobile phones the "remote control" for life, market research firm Synovate"s poll (民调) said
cell phones are so ubiquitous that by last year more humans owned one than did not.
Three-quarters of the more than 8,000 respondents (受访者) polled online in 11 countries said they
take their phone with them everywhere, with Russians and Singaporeans the most attached. More than a
third also said they couldn"t live without their phone, topped by Taiwanese and again Singaporeans, while
one in four would find it harder to replace the mobile than their purse. Some two-thirds of respondents go
to bed with their phones nearby and can"t switch them off, even though they want to, because they"re
afraid they"ll miss something.
"Mobiles give us safety, security and instant access to information. They are the number one tool of
communication for us, sometimes even surpassing face-to-face communication. They are our connections
to our lives," Jenny Chang, Synovate"s managing director in Taiwan, said in a statement.
Mobiles have also changed the nature of relationships, with the survey finding nearly half of all
respondents use text messages to flirt, a fifth set up first-dates via (通过) text and almost the same
number use the same method to end a love affair.
Apart from the obvious calling and texting, the top three features people use regularly on their mobile
phones globally are the alarm clock, the camera and the games.
As for email and Internet access, 17 percent of respondents said they checked their inboxes or surfed
the Web on their phones, led by those in the United States and Britain. One in 10 respondents log onto
social networking websites such as Facebook and MySpace regularly via mobile, again led by Britain and
the United States.
"As the mobile becomes more and more an all-in-one device, many other businesses are facing
challenging times. The opportunities for mobile manufacturers and networks however are enormous,"
said Synovate"s global head of media, Steve Garton.
Not everyone is tech savvy (科技通), however: 37 percent of respondents said they don"t know how
to use all the functions on their phone.
B. Over a third of Singaporeans couldn"t live without their phone.
C. About a fifth of the respondents use texting to end a love affair.
D. 10% of the respondents surf Facebook and MySpace via their phones,
B. unusual
C. a lot advanced
D. inexpensive

B. Mobile manufacturers and networks are facing challenges.
C. The more functions a mobile phone has, the more people will rely on it.

an exciting process, and is one that will ultimately lead you to a career that is stimulating, and right for you. Studies show that the average person will change careers at least five times, and it"s not unusual to change up to ten times. Your initial (最初的) decision will not bind you for life, but it will give you some direction
and help you start deciding what is right for you.
When you begin thinking about your career goals, it is important to explore your skills and interests. Find
out what it is you love - are you interested in math? Do you like to paint? Once you have an idea what it
is that makes you happy, research those occupations that may fit your personality and abilities. If you love working outside, perhaps accounting is not the right job for you.
After you decide what you"re interested in, you need to figure out how to accomplish (完成) those goals.
Spend time mapping out a plan for your path. Take courses in high school that will help you get ahead,
especially if you want to go to college.
You can set goals the easy way by using the SMART Goals theory. According to Paul J. Meyer, www.topachievement.com, Smart Goals are:
Specific--specific goals have a much greater chance of being accomplished. Ask yourself, who is involved in your goal, and what you want to accomplish. Also establish a time frame for the goal so you can have a deadline in which to achieve it.
Measurable-- Measurable goals help you monitor progress and keep on track. Ask yourself if your goal
is something attainable.
Attainable-- Attainable goals are goals that are reasonable enough for you to develop the abilities, skills,
and resources necessary to reach them. Mapping out a game plan helps you find opportunities you may
have overlooked.
Realistic-- Realistic Goals represent an objective toward which you are willing and able to work. You
can have a high goal which is realistic, but goals are usually only realistic if you believe that they can be
accomplished.
Tangible-- Tangible goals are ones whose successes you can experience and enjoy, knowing that you
completed the goal you set out for yourself.
Using Smart Goals, you can narrow down your career objectives, and find the way to make some of
your dreams into reality. This is especially useful for important goals, such as attending a dream college or
finding the career of your dreams.
B. give some advice to college graduates and make the Smart Goals system popular
C. offer suggestions for students deciding on a career and how to use Smart Goals
D. help students to make some of their dreams into reality
B. Personality and courses
C. Dreams and goals
D. Skills and interests
B. will benefit a person in some way
C. will not help you with your career choices
D. will reduce a person"s freedom of career choices for a short time
B. Take related courses at college
C. Set goals by using Smart Goals
D. Enjoy your successes
B. Measurable goals depend on your abilities, skills and resources
C. Attainable goals are ones whose progress you can monitor
D. Realistic goals usually refer to those that you believe you can accomplish
smells of kabob (烤肉串) hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.
Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many
restaurants lack. The space is small with only a few dining tables and nearly no decoration, but the
environment is truly charming. Lying in a hardly noticeable street corner, the restaurant still attracts all
customers, especially those experienced in the delights of Middle Eastern cooking.
A common sight is that of old Persian men sitting in the corner talking loudly about world topics,
watching news events on TV, drinking a black tea known as Persian chai, reading local Persian
newspapers all the while and trying to finish off their plate piled with food.
The variety of food at the restaurant is limited, but the amount of each dish is fairly large. Most of the
meals can serve two people and are under $10, so not only is it affordable but practical as well. The
food, especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited
fat and oil and served straight off the grill (烤肉架).
The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs, which are different styles of grilled meat. One delicious and extremely healthy dish is the Joojeh Kabob, which is made of grilled chicken pieces
served with either rice or bread. Another great kabob is the Chelo Kabob, a kabob consisting of grilled
beef.
Although the restaurant is small, the atmosphere and the food is delicious. It is a place that should not
be overlooked.
B. has pleasant smells of kabobs
C. is crowded with dining tables
D. looks like a common restaurant

C. Reading local English newspapers.
D. Discussing world topics in low voices.
