Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

Nothing runs smoothly in our life. To achieve things successfully, a strong will is essential. Life is like a Marathon. Many people can’t get to the terminal. This is not because they are lack of vitality but because their will of success is not strong enough.

To take quitting smoking as an example, some regard it as a piece of cake. They make up their minds to quit it in the morning, but in the evening they feel that the smell of cigarettes is tempting. Their throats are sore, their mouths are thirsty, and their hands are shaking. After the painful mental struggle, they tell themselves that “One cigarette is enough. Just take one, and the next day I will quit it.” By doing this, they surrender to their weak will. In the end, they have quit smoking “a hundred times”, but in no time they succeed.

Just like quitting smoking, nothing succeeds without a strong will. To be successful in one’s life, a strong will means that you know where you go and you will persist on the road you choose. Undoubtedly success belongs to those who overcome their weak will and who hang in there until the last minute.

【題目】Dear Mr. Plant,

I am an enthusiastic camper and longtime X-Ports customer, but after being offended（冒犯）for the third time at your Sierra Vista location, I am writing to complain about your impolite employees.

Several months ago ,I bought a tent that leaked（漏）the first time I used it and wanted it replaced . When I took it back, your employees accused me of tearing it myself. I left not only withm1, torn tent, but no refund(退款) and no satisfaction.

A couple of weeks ago , I bought a sleeping bag that was supposed to sleep two people comfort-ably. It didn't. Your employees refused to give me my money back even though I had the receipt. I was asked to leave the store, again with no satisfaction.

To my misfortune, my latest purchase(購買), of a piece of camping equipment at your store proyed to be another disappointment. The propane (丙烷) camp stove I bought didn't work properly. When I returned to exchange it, the rude clerk refused to help me because I did not have my sales receipt. It was an even exchange! He said that I was a problem and even asked if I had seen what products I-could purchase at one of your competitor's stores at comparable prices. Was he accusing me of something? Why would I have brought a receipt for an even exchange? Why would I know the price at other stores?

Furthermore, the clerk called security and forced me to leave your store-without my camp stove! How can I go camping now? The tent leaks, thesleeping bag is just wrong, and I don't have a stove to keep warm ! Who is going to refund my money for my stove? Who is going to help me get over the abuse I suffered in your store?

You, as the area manager must clear these matters up for me immediately! I am sending copies of this letter to your main office and the Sierra Vista Store.

Sincerely ,

Ima Kumpanee

【題目】D

A developer edition of Sony’s augmented reality smart glasses will go on sale in ten countries next month, the tech giant has announced.

Pre-orders for the SmartEyeglass, costing $840 (620), are now being taken in the UK and Germany, with Japan and the US to follow shortly. The black-framed glasses are compatible (兼容的) with recent Android operating systems. Last month Google announced that it was withdrawing its smart glasses for redevelopment. Sony’s initial model will come with a software development kit to encourage people to design apps for it, the company said.

The glasses, which weigh 77g, contain an accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, image and brightness sensors, 3-megapixel camera and a microphone. They also come with a controller, designed to be attached to clothing, which contains a speaker, touch sensor and the device’s battery. Text is displayed in front of the wearer in monochrome green.

Apple chief executive Tim Cook has been open about his dislike of glasses as a wearable device. “We always thought that glasses were not a smart move, from a point of view that people would not really want to wear them,” he told the New Yorker. “They were intrusive (闖入的), instead of pushing technology to the background, as we’ve always believed.”

Stuart Miles, founder of tech site Pocket-lint, said: “I think [Sony is] wasting their time, energy and effort.”

“Google Glass obviously needed a complete rethink... I can’t see how something thick-rimmed and more invasive-looking than Google Glass is going to catch on.

“People are keen on wearables fitness bands and watches, but they care about their faces. Wearing something on your head is a lot stronger than wearing something on your arm,” he added. “The industry keeps pushing it but consumers just don’t want it.”

【1】In which countries people can get the SmartEyeglass first?

A. The US and Japan. B. The US and the UK.

C. The UK and Japan. D. Germany and the UK.

【2】The purpose of this passage is to __________.

A. introduce an accelerometer developed by the Google company

B. tell the people that the SmartEyeglass will go on sale

C. people like the glasses very much

D. the SmartEyeglass is less than 840 yuan

【3】What can be inferred from what Stuart Miles said?

A. He supports Sony’s efforts to develop the SmartEyeglass.

B. He cares more about his clothes and face.

C. He dislikes the SmartEyeglass.

D. He really wants to wear them.

【4】Choose the true statements according to the passage.

A. The glasses, which weigh more than 77g.

B. Tim Cook has been open about his dislike of glasses as a wearable device.

C. Last month Google announced that it was withdrawing its smart glasses for development.

D. Sony’s later model will come with a software development kit to encourage people to design apps for it.

Dear mum and dad,

I still cannot believe that I am taking up this prize I won last year. I have to

remind yourself constantly that I am real in AD 3008. Worrying about the journey,

I was unsettled for the first a few days. As a result, I suffer from “time lag”. This

is similar with the “jet lag” you get from flying, but it seems that you keep getting

flashbacks from your previous time period. So I was very nervous and uncertain

at first. However, Wang Ping, my friend and guide, were very understanding

but gave me some green tablet which helped a lot. Well-known for their expertise,

his parents company transported me safely into the future in a time capsule.

…

Yours,

Li Qiang
