Window
Bill and John，both seriously ill，lived in the same room at Marie Hospital．John lived next to the only window of the room and was allowed to  36 in his bed and watch for an hour every day．But Bill had to spend all his time  37 on his back．
They became friends soon and talked for hours every day．They spoke of their families，their children，their hobbies，and their  38 in the American army．Each day John would sit up and  39 to his roommate Bill what he could see outside the window．
Through John’s description，Bill’s world was  40 and brightened by all the activities and colors of the outside world．The window overlooked a beautiful park with a lovely  41 ,John told Bill．Ducks played on the water  42 children sailed their model boats．And a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance．As John described all these  43 ,Bill would close his eyes and  44 the picturesque scene．Bill was recovering  45 . However，John became weak day by day．
Late one night，Bill was lying in bed  46 the ceiling when John began to cough seriously．Then doctors and nurses rushed to the room．Thirty minutes later, John  47 coughing．Now，there was only silence—  48 silence．
The following morning，Bill was moved to the bed next to the window at his request．Slowly and
  49 ，he supported himself up on one elbow （胳膊）to take the first look．But to his  50 ，he could see nothing but a  51 wall．
Only at that moment did he begin to realize that the pursuit（追求）of happiness was a matter of  52 ．It was a positive attitude we chose to express．It was not a gift that was  53 to our doorstep each morning，nor did it come through the window．It was all inward journey．Whether a man is happy or not depends on his own thoughts  54 anything outward．
So Bill began to describe the  55 world to his new roommate that he saw through the only window of the room.

Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining (留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But,     , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often   
  the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business— 
      that the customer remains a customer.
    to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every years. In constantly changing     , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.
Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to those lost opportunities and calculate the     
implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big   
  in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting (流失的) customers led to      increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.
In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and      never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in   
  profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).
The logic behind cultivating customer      is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to      them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’ School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.      customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price     , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it   
    for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.

In the 1880s, people drank John Pemberton’s tonic to cure headaches. It wasn’t a very popular drink, and he sold only about a dozen drinks a day. That’s why Pemberton was willing to sell the rights to his medicinal drink. The buyer, Asa Griggs Candler, paid just $ 2,300 for the rights to Coca-Cola. Today, Coca-Cola (or Coke) is worth billions of dollars. It controls 50 percent of the world market in soft drinks.
How did Coca-Cola become so popular? One answer is that Asa Candler was a very clever businessman. He was one of the first people to use mass marketing. How did he do this? First, he made his product unique. When he bought the rights to Coca-Cola, it came in ordinary bottles. It looked like every other drink on the market. To make Coca-Cola look different, Candler modernized the bottles. He also made an eye-catching logo for his products. When other companies tried to imitate Coca-Cola’s name, Candler took them to court.
In addition to the unique bottle and logo, Candler spent a lot of time and money advertising his product. He used advertising to make a powerful image of Coca-Cola in the minds of his customers. He gave away free bottles of Coke. He put the name of his drink on pencils, trays, Japanese fans, matches, and many other things. Then he gave the things to people for free. He advertised Coca-Cola in the newspaper and painted the words “Drink Coca-Cola” on the sides of buildings and barns. By 1902, Coca-Cola was the best known product in the United States.
Candler was also able to make memorable advertisements. They often had catchy slogans such as “The Pause That Refreshes.” He also used famous athletes to advertise his product. They helped people to think of Coca-Cola as a delicious drink for everyone.
Today, businesses all over the world use mass marketing, but the makers of Coke were the first.
小題1:Candler bought the rights to Coca-Cola from _______.

Well, when the huge wave hit the boat, my safety belt broke and I was swept overboard. I don’t really understand how it happened, but it did. I heard someone yell out, but then my boat, Wild One, went off into the darkness and I was alone in a very rough sea. I then spent five and a half hours in the water. The place where it happened was, oh, about 50 kilometers from shore. It was likely that I wouldn’t see another day, but I always thought I’d overcome the difficulties. At first I was watching out for Wild One. The rest of the crew knew I was gone, so they were sure to come back and look for me. After a while, I saw the boat’s lights when it came looking for me. They were within about 300 meters of me, but the spotlight just missed me. The reason why they didn’t see me was because of the huge waves. You know, I started sailing when I was seven, and started ocean racing when I was about eighteen, but I’d never been overboard before. I believed I was going to survive, but it was very cold, and as the hours passed I started to get desperate——and frozen! It was around 5 am when I saw the lights of a tanker coming towards me. I figured it was probably my last chance. At first, I thought they were going to miss me, and then they made a slight turn and I yelled out “Help!” and they heard me. Then another yacht appeared. These guys were terrific. They gave me dry clothes, and then one jumped into the bunk and hung onto me. They covered us with as much dry clothing as they could, and the guy in with me stayed to transfer his body heat to me.
小題1:The author of the passage was alone in the sea NOT because ______.
A．the wind was too strongB．the wave hit the boat
C．the safety belt was brokenD．his boat was in the darkness
小題2:He was not saved by his crew because ______.
A．he didn’t yell out “Help!”B．300 meters was long distance
C．he was not foundD．he didn’t see the spotlight
小題3:It was inferred from the passage that ______.
A．he was swept overboard at about midnight
B．Wild One was the name of a crew member
C．he started ocean racing at about seven
D．he was too hopeless to take the last chance
小題4: One of the guys who saved him jumped into the bunk in order to ______.

C．comfort him
D．congratulate him

To be able to motivate oneself, or self-motivate, occurs when a person has the willingness to do something and is internally(內(nèi)在地) motivated to do it．
Sometimes it’s very difficult to get ourselves moving．The natural tendency is to postpone．Life just seems to get in the way! There is a job to go to, groceries to do, television to watch—whoops! I guess we get pretty good at finding excuses to escape getting started on goals like an exercise routine or reading a new book．The fact is that we are creatures of routine and habit．So what can we do to motivate ourselves to accomplish our goals? 
Here are some tips on how to get moving:
Decide what you want．It’s hard to motivate an aimless mind．Set a goal and decide how you are going to go about it．Then break it down into smaller sections so it’s easier to handle and less overwhelming．（勢不可擋）
Keep track of your progress．Keep a log or journal where you can measure how much you have accomplished．Looking at it can also motivate you to keep pushing ahead．
Post motivating pictures or slogans within your sight．It is always inspiring to see pictures of people who have accomplished what you’re going for．It makes it attainable and realistic．Likewise, little slogans like “go for it” or “just do it” can give you the little support you need．    
Sometimes we forget what we set out to do and a little reminder is all we need to be revitalized (激活) and focus on the end result．If you remind yourself to go for the desired promotion, it will re-establish why you are doing what you’re doing．
Make it a habit．Once you have accomplished your objective, e．g．becoming an early riser, keep it up so that it’s second nature to you and you don’t have to think about it anymore．
小題1:According to the author, some people fail to achieve their goals because ________．
A．they don’t have enough desire
B．their life is filled with routine work
C．they benefit from the force of habit
D．they naturally put off forming new habits
小題2:It can be inferred from the underlined sentence that ________．
A．self-motivation needs repeated self-reminding of one’s goal
B．in modern society people tend to become forgetful
C．when we forget our goal, our life becomes meaningless
D．we can achieve our goal only by focusing on the end result
小題3:To get moving on your goal, you can do the following EXCEPT ________．
A．keep a diary to clearly judge your distance to your goal
B．make self-improvement your second nature
C．forget your aim and revitalize yourself with slogans
D．support yourself by hanging inspiring pictures in your house
小題4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．Set Goals in Your LifeB．Get Yourself Motivated
C．Get into Good HabitsD．Do Not Postpone

More and more often we heard of people talking about Karaoke (卡拉OK). But what on earth it is about still remains a question for many people. Karaoke is a sort of acoustic (聽覺的) equipment which was invented in Japan around the middle of the 1970's. It means "a band without people" in Japanese. In fact, it is just a music tape without words. This equipment first appeared in some public houses and snack bars, and mainly for the customers to enjoy themselves. Most of the music in Karaoke was popular music. Therefore, at times, when anyone felt like it, he might sing songs to the accompaniment (陪伴) of the music that came from the equipment. Shortly after its invention, Karaoke was spread to the whole world. It was introduced to China and was welcomed by many people. Although you are not a good singer, or even sometimes you may sing out of tune, you can always enjoy yourself by singing Karaoke.
小題1:In this passage "band" means "group of persons ________."
A．who play games on the sports ground
B．who play music together
