Around twenty years ago I was living in York. 31  I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree, I could not find   32  work.
I was   33  a school bus to make ends meet and   34  with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had   35  five interviews(面試)with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not   36  the job. “Why has my life become so   37 ?” I thought painfully.
As I pulled the bus over to   38  a little girl, she handed me an earring   39  I should keep it   40  somebody claimed(認(rèn)領(lǐng))it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.
At first I got angry. Then it   41  me-I had been giving all of my   42  to what was going wrong with my   43  rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a   44  of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to   45  more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for   46  from a lady who was a director at a large   47 . She asked me if I would   48  a one-day lecture on stress(壓力) management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.
My   49  there went very well, and before long I got a well-paid job. To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of   50 that I completely changed my life.

The name “cowboy” conjures up many different images from movies, songs and TV. These imagined cowboys range from white-hat-wearing heroes to gun-shooting hooligans(流氓).But, cowboys are actually real people from US history.?

When the US Civil War ended, many soldiers had no place to call home. So, they began to drift to the country's rural West. Ranchers(農(nóng)場主) hired these men to take care of the cattle and work around the ranch. When the ranch owner wanted to sell the cattle, the cowboys would round up the herd from the open prairie(牧場) and drive the cattle miles to the market.?

With the invention of barbed wire(鐵絲網(wǎng)),the cowboy era(1865-1890) began to come to an end. But people in the East had always been curious about their lifestyle. Many country/western songs during this time tried to capture the true cowboy spirit. Newspapers published cowboy tales in serial form and adventure novels followed. The bigger the fiction, the better the sales. These novels often portrayed cowboys as cruel and violent men. Cowboys carried the bad reputation for many years afterwards.

When movies began to be popular in the 1920s,the cowboy image changed again. Now, a cowboy became the great white knight(騎士) that loved his horse more than the beautiful ladies he rescued. As the cowboy of the “Old West” spent more time with his horse than the ladies, this era's image was not entirely false.

Then, in the 50s,Hollywood began producing so-called “spaghetti westerns(意大利西部片)”.They earned the nickname because Italian companies financed the films and TV shows. This started the decade's “Cowboy Craze”.While this didn't last long, it made modern country/western music, fashion and dance extremely popular.?

In recent years, with the help of musicians, radio stations and bars, cowboy nostalgia(懷舊情緒) has returned. Even though his image is still changing—somewhere between ballad singing country boy and bar?room fighter—there's one thing for sure, you can't keep the cowboy down.?

The purpose of this story is to _______.

A. introduce cowboy movies and novels?

B. introduce various productions associated with cowboys?

C. show the cowboy's everlasting charm ?

D. inform us about the cowboy's spirit?

Before they became cowboys, they _______.

A. served in the army    B. worked as bar-room fighters?

C. owned ranches      D. were adventurous explorers?

During “the cowboy era” mentioned in the story, _______.?

A. the cowboy often came to the rescue of ladies in newspaper tales?

B. the distant Wild West appealed to people in the East?

C. cowboys were shown as cruel and violent men on the silver screen?

D. country music started the cowboy craze which swept the whole country

By saying “you can't keep the cowboy down”,the writer means that _______.

A. cowboys are real people in history   B. cowboys still fascinate people?

C. you can't make cowboys unhappy     D. you can't grasp the cowboy spirit?

閱讀表達(dá)(共5小題;每小題2分,滿分10分)

閱讀下面短文,并根據(jù)短文后的要求回答問題。(注意字?jǐn)?shù)要求)。(答案寫在答題卷的橫線上)

Being healthy means taking care of yourself physically and mentally. Here are some of my best tips on how to do both:

Break a bad habit. You don’t really “break” habits. You replace the unwanted behavior with something that prevents you from doing it and that doesn’t have unhealthy side effects. So if your problem is that you eat too much when you get home from work, find something new to do that is incompatible(不能共存的)with what you usually do. You can’t walk around the track at the school and pig out in your kitchen at the same time.

Grow your marriage. Relationships are negotiated, and the negotiation never stops. It’s always a give-and-take, always requires work. It’s like if you planted a garden and came back six months later----you wouldn’t even be able to find it. You have to tend it, feed it, weed it, deal with the problems.

Beat stress.  My dog, Maggie, is the best anti – stress tool I have. A few minutes petting, scratching or playing with her, and                            . Exercise also helps. Just about every day, I’m on the tennis court. It’s a great workout, and if I don’t have that, I don’t cope as well, sleep as well or think as well.

Refocus your anger. Expressing your anger is just not that good an idea. You say things you don’t mean. Instead, recognize that anger is usually a symptom of hurt, fear or frustration(挫折), and deal with the causes rather than blow up. When you do that, you’re a problem solver.

Don’t medicate with food.

It never, ever works. You’re denying your issue by eating your way through it, instead of saying, Hey, I’ve got a problem.

1.What’s the best title? (Answer within 10 words.)

_____________________________________________________________

2.Fill in the blank in the passage in your own words.(Answer within 10 words.)

3.Complete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 4words).

Marriages are much like gardens. You need to _______________ your marriage as you do to your garden. It takes much effort to maintain your marriage. If there is a problem, you should deal with it immediately

4.What does the word “it” (paragraph 2) probably refer to? (no more than 3 words)

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的七個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Advertising Everywhere

      1      Now that messages can go around the world at high speed,the world is becoming smaller and products can be sold everywhere.But it is true that the problems of international advertising—problems of language and culture—have become larger than ever.For example,Braniff Airlines wanted to advertise its fine seals,but when its advertisement was translated from English into Spanish,it told people that they could fly without wearing clothes!

    To avoid problems in translation,most advertisement firms are now writing completely new ads.In writing new ads,international advertisers must choose different methods of advertising for different countries.In some countries,an advertisement usually gives a description of the product

and explains why it is better than others.      2      But in Japan,the message is based more on situations and feelings than on words.For this reason,many television advertisements broadcast in Japan show people at a party,picnic,or in some other pleasant situations.They will

not say that a product is better than others.Instead,the goal will be to create a good feeling about

the product

                3      For instance,certain countries will not allow TV advertisements on Sundays,and others will not allow them for children’s products on any day.The world advertiser who does

not understand such laws aud customs will soon have problems.

    Finally,there is the choice of what to advertise.      4     So the best advertisement in the world means nothing if the product is not suitable for the market.Comparing such as McDonald’s in Hawaii,you will find Chinese food provided on the menu.If you stop at a McDonald’s in Germany,you can order a beer with your meal.

All of these products must be sold with the right kind of message      5      But no matter how difficult this job may be,it is very important for global advenrtisers to do it well.Knowing how to advertise in the world market can help companies for success.

A.People around the world have different likes and dislikes.

B.This is true in the United States,Britain,and Gemany

C.They just show how the product is made

D.In the advertising industry,selling products is the most important goal

E.International advertisers must also consider differences in laws and customs

F.It can be explained by a word,a passage,or even a picture

G.It can never be an easy job for advertisers to create message
