4．Years ago，when I started looking for my first job，wise advised，"Barbara，be enthusiastic!Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience．"How right they were!
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm．"wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson．It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going tough．It is the inner voice that whispers，"I can do it!"when others shout，"No，you can't!"It took years and years for the early work of Barara McClintock，a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel  Prize in medicine，to be generally accepted．Yet she didn't stop working on her experiments．Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping．
We are all born with wide-eyed，enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air，whatever their age was．At 90，cellist Palblo Cassls would start his day by playing Bach．A s the music flowed through his fingers his stooped shoulders would strengthen and joy would reappear in his eyes．As author and poet Samuei Ulman once wrote，"Years wrinkle the skin，but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul．"
Enthusiastic people also love what they do，regardless of money or power．Patricia  Mellrath，retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theatre in Kansas City，was once asked where she got her enthusiasm．She replied，"My father，a lawyer long ago told me，I never made a dime until I stopped working for money．"
If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career，we can as a hobby．Elizabeth Layton was 68 before she began to draw．This activity ended periods of depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years，and the quality of her led one critic to say，"I'm tempted to call Layton a genius．"
We can't afford to waste tears on"might-have-beens"．We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after"what-can-be"．We need to live each moment whole-heartedly，which all our senses-including pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden，the simple picture of a six-year-old，the beauty of  a  rainbow．
68．What is the Chinese for"Enthusiasm"？A
A．熱情    
B．色彩     
C．惰性      
D．金錢
69．Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in the second paragraph？B
A．Enthusiasm can give you courage and strength in difficult times．
B．If you don't have enthusiasm，you can achieve nothing．
C．Enthusiastic people never consider money and fame．
D．Enthusiastic people can gain great fame and honor．
70．T he author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show thatC
A．music can arouse people's enthusiasm
B．enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed
C．enthusiasm can keep people feel young
D．enthusiasm can keep people healthy．

分析 本文是一篇社會(huì)文化類閱讀，屬于議論文，年前，當(dāng)我開始尋找我的第一份工作，明智的建議"巴巴拉，要有熱情！熱情會(huì)讓你走得更遠(yuǎn)"，他們是多么正確！"沒有熱情就不會(huì)有任何偉大的成就．"拉爾夫•瓦爾多說．本文以此展開談?wù)摚v述了熱情的力量．

解答 68．答案：A．詞義猜測(cè)題．根據(jù)"when I started looking for my first job，wise advised，"Barbara，be enthusiastic!Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience"及下文"沒有熱情就沒有什么事情能夠成功"可推測(cè)出，enthusiasm意為"熱情"．故選A．
69．答案：B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)下文的舉例"Yet she didn't stop working on her experiments．Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping．"可推測(cè)出，這句話的意思是如果你沒有熱情，你不能做成任何事．故選B．
70．答案：C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"We are all born with wide-eyed，enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air"可知，我們出生時(shí)都是睜大眼睛，滿懷熱情，正是這種孩子氣的好奇給了熱情的人們這樣年輕的氛圍，熱情可以讓人年輕．故選C．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇社會(huì)文化類閱讀，主要考查學(xué)生對(duì)文章內(nèi)容的理解能力及信息提取能力，做題時(shí)應(yīng)仔細(xì)閱讀原文，并聯(lián)系上下文內(nèi)容找出相關(guān)內(nèi)容，從而得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測(cè)，一定要做到有理有據(jù)．

5．Life is never smooth．It's full of ups and downs，some hard times，some glad moments，and sometimes just nothing．So everyone should balance and accept all the ups and downs in life．For this，a person must think positively，which gives a person energy，motivation，power and patience to live each day．Positive thinking means you decide to be happy even though facing problems．This makes you confident so that you can live happily．
When you ask for positive and good things to occur in your life，you are thinking positively．Positive thinking is nothing but channelizing （疏導(dǎo)） your energies in one positive direction so that the things you wish for are attracted towards you．If you wish for something from your heart and work towards achieving it，sooner or later，you'll get it．
To make your life better，you have to train yourself to think positively in any situation．You can design some positive thinking affirmations （斷言） for the things you desire in life．For example，if you want success in life，then a positive affirmation for success could be"I'm going to be successful because I'm working hard for it"．You must call out，write，or remember positive affirmations at least a couple of times throughout the day and you'll see your life changing for better．
You can form a combination between positive affirmations and imagination．For example，if you wish for a happy family，imagine that you're happily playing with your kids and spouse （配偶） with your parents looking at you all with satisfaction．It'll immediately make you feel good．You can also repeat the affirmations every morning before going out and you would certainly feel positive．However，you must link your positive affirmations to actual daily actions，and they'll surely come true．

12．Joseph Pulitzer （April 10，1847---October 29，1911）was a Hungarian-American publisher best known for establishing the Pulitzer Prizes after death．
Pulitzer was born in Mako，Hungary．At 17，Pulitzer attempted to join the Austrian army，but was turned down due to age，bad health and poor eyesight．Disappointed but still with hope，he traveled first to Paris and then to London，hoping to join the army there．And he was rejected for the same reasons．Finally，he moved to the United States in 1864and served in the Lincoln Army when he was just 18until the end of the American Civil War．After the war he settled in St．Louis，Missouri，where in 1868he started working as a reporter for a German-language daily newspaper，the Westliche Post．He joined the Republican Party and was elected to the Missouri State Assembly in 1869．
In 1872．Pulitzer bought the Westliche Post for 3，000．Then，in1879，heboughttheSt．LouisDispatchfor2，700and merged （合并） the two papers as the St．Louis Post-Dispatch，which remained St．Louis'daily newspaper．He bought the New York World in 1883，which turned out to be a successful decision，and which made Pulitzer wealthy．In 1885，he was elected to the US House of Representatives，but resigned after a few months'service．In 1895the New York World introduced the first newspaper comic printed with colour．Under Pulitzer's leadership circulation （發(fā)行量） grew from 15，000to 600，000，making it the largest newspaper in the country．But unfortunately from 1890，Pulitzer's already failing health worsened rapidly and he withdrew from direct management of the newspaper，and simply gave some instructions from his vacation houses in Maine or in New York．At the age of forty，he was struck blind，but he still continued to run his press empire for twenty-two more years．
In 1892，Pulitzer offered Columbia University's president money to set up the world's first school of journalism．But the university turned down the offer．In 1902，Columbia's new president willingly accepted the plan for a school and prizes，but it would not be until after Pulitzer's death that this dream would come true．Pulitzer left the university $2million in his will，which led to the creation in 1912of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism．And up till now，Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism still remains one of the most famous in the world．
Joseph Pulitzer died aboard his sailing boat in 1911．He was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx，New York．In 1917，the first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded，as Pulitzer wished to．
In 1989，in honor of his great achievements and contributions，Pulitzer was included in the St．Louis Walk of Fame．
