In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be   21  with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit   22 . The only solution is to reach   23  and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more   24  measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your   25 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others .Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get   26 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for   27 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly   28 . The only direct and honest comparison is   29  yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only   30  to compare yourself to someone else if their life  31  is the same as your own. Good luck finding that   32 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated（埋頭苦干的）you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can   33  someone is coming up fast   34  you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best   35 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to   36  you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who   37  if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of   38 . You are a more   39  person today than you were yesterday. Your own   40  is all you need.

試題分析：在一個比較無時無刻不存在的社會，人很難獲得滿足感，就這個問題作者提出了自己的觀點(diǎn)：
即我們沒必要和別人去比較，畢竟人與人不同，所處的環(huán)境不同，我們只需自己和自己去比較，用今天的
自己和昨天的自己去比較，只要取得丁點(diǎn)的進(jìn)步，那我們就是成功的人。
小題1:C形容詞辨析。A耐心的；B 嚴(yán)格的；C 滿意的；D擔(dān)心的。在文中作者建議人們不要和別人比，從情理可知和別人比較時，如果你不如別人你會對自己失望，不滿意。故C選項正確。句意：看到自身外部并感到滿意是很難的。
小題2:B形容詞辨析。A. 強(qiáng)壯的；B. 更好的；C. 懶惰的；D.明智的。此處沒有具體說明是在哪方面進(jìn)行比較，所以只是籠統(tǒng)的說你會發(fā)現(xiàn)別人要比你好，而不具體到身體或者智力等方面，所以我們可以排除A，D選項，C選項為貶義詞，故也可以排除，正確選項B。句意：總會有人比你更好一點(diǎn)。
小題3:A介詞辨析。A內(nèi)部，里面的；B外面；C 為了，因為；D向上；從下面的 inner yardstick“內(nèi)在的尺度”可以判斷應(yīng)該是深入自己內(nèi)心，根據(jù)華倫巴菲特所說的你自己內(nèi)在的尺度去衡量自己。所以A選項正確。
小題4:A形容詞辨析。A 精確的； B有用的；C 仔細(xì)的；D 強(qiáng)大的。從詞義搭配上可知修飾名詞衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的詞應(yīng)該是精確，準(zhǔn)確accurate。沒有更為精確的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)了。選項正確A。
小題5:B名詞辨析。A 一端，盡頭；B 最好（狀態(tài)）；C 方便，便利；D 邊，面。從情理可知人們要和自己過去比的話，應(yīng)該是和過去最佳時期進(jìn)行比較，而且文章中Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing…也是此處的一個提示，故正確答案是B。
小題6:D形容詞辨析。A滿意的；B 繁忙的； C受到激勵的；D懶惰的。從上下文可知此處是講和別人比較的壞處，所以排除A選項；當(dāng)你看到自己比別人要強(qiáng)的時候，你會沾沾自喜，從而引發(fā)自身惰性，所以正確答案為D。
小題7:A短語搭配。A for nothing 免費(fèi)的， 白費(fèi)勁；B for fun 為了開心；C for sure 確信的；D成功。從情理可知當(dāng)你看到別人比你好的時候，你會有挫敗感，從而覺得自己的努力都白費(fèi)了，故A選項正確。
小題8:C形容詞辨析。A平等的；B 獨(dú)特的；C 相似的；D常見的，共同的；上文說和別人去比那是傻子的游戲，所以文強(qiáng)調(diào)不要和別人去比，因為人和人不同。所以正確選項為C。
小題9:A介詞辨析。A在。。。內(nèi)；B通過，憑借；C 為了，因為；D 屬于，關(guān)于。從文章第一段說明要和昨天的自己，上周的自己或者是10年前的自己去比較，用自己內(nèi)在的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)去衡量自己，所以在此應(yīng)該是自己內(nèi)在的比較，故A選項正確。
小題10:B 動詞辨析。A 教導(dǎo)，指導(dǎo)；B允許；C 指揮，指導(dǎo)，指示；D 建議。在此作者是說出可以和別人相比較的情況 ，即允許自己和別人相比較的情況。句意：我的觀點(diǎn)是你只可以與那些和你生活狀況一樣的人去比較。故B選項正確。
小題11:A名詞辨析。A情形，局勢；B位置，姿勢；C 場合；D 住宿，住處。從常識可知和別人比較要在同等情況下進(jìn)行比較，也就是生活情形相同的，否則沒有可比性，life situation生活狀況，其他詞不和life構(gòu)成搭配。所以A選項正確。
小題12:B名詞辨析。A游戲；B 比賽，相匹配的人；C朋友；D 敵人。從上文可知和別人比較時要找情況相同的人作為比較對象，在此指的是一個你能與之相比而且情況類似的人。所以B選項正確。句意：找到那樣一個相般配的人是太幸運(yùn)了。
小題13:B動詞辨析。A得出結(jié)論；B 打賭；C宣布；D 聲明。從情理可知一個人不可能總是做的最好，即使現(xiàn)在沒人比你強(qiáng)，肯定也有人在背后努力會超過你的，所以B選項正確。you can bet that。。意思為肯定，毫無疑問。
小題14:D介詞辨析。A 在。。。之前；B在。。。旁邊；C在。。。下方；D在。。。后面。從常理可知如果你比別人強(qiáng)的話，就會在某些方面落下別人，所以別人趕超你也應(yīng)該是在你后面趕上來。故正確答案是D。
小題15:B動詞辨析。A 助手；B 競爭者，對手；C 教練；D 教師。作者強(qiáng)調(diào)不要和別人去比，要自己和自己比，要讓今天的自己超越昨天的自己，所以自己才是自己的對手，故B選項正確。
小題16:C動詞辨析。A貢獻(xiàn)，促成；B使。。。暴露；C推，鞭策；D致力于，奉獻(xiàn)。從下文If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today.昨天跑了七段樓梯那么今天就跑八段樓梯可知此處是給自己定下目標(biāo)，鞭策自己進(jìn)步，所以C選項正確。句意：自己心中有一個最近達(dá)到過的極限是最好的東西，它可以敦促自己朝下一個高度前進(jìn)。
小題17:A動詞辨析。A在乎，關(guān)心；B 說；C 疑惑，想知道；D問。從上文可知作者要人們做到自己一天比一天進(jìn)步，而不去和別人比，不去在意別人的進(jìn)步，所以A選項正確。句意：如果你旁邊的小伙子跑了15段樓梯誰又在乎呢？
小題18:C名詞辨析。A努力；B 感覺，意識；C不同，區(qū)別；D 變化，零錢。文章告訴我們的是：別人做的再好和我們毫無關(guān)系，我們只和自己去比較，所以即使你跑7段樓梯，別人跑15段那和我們一點(diǎn)關(guān)系都沒有，Make a different意思為有關(guān)系，有影響；make a sense 有意義，行得通；make efforts 努力；make a change 做出改動，故正確答案為C。
小題19:A形容詞辨析。A成功的；B高興的，幸福的；C 幸運(yùn)的；D 適合的。從上下文可知此處是指我們沒必要去和別人比，去看別人的成績，只要我們自己每天都在進(jìn)步，那么我們就是一個成功的人，所以A選項正確。
小題20:B名詞辨析。A 益處，好處；B進(jìn)步，進(jìn)展；C習(xí)慣；D 結(jié)果。從上文每天多跑一段樓梯可知此處是指進(jìn)步，句意：你自己的進(jìn)步就是你所需要的全部。故B選項正確。

The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people．We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is that great talent is not enough．
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth．”
There is an old saying that goes, "Job means 'just over broke（破產(chǎn)）"．And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers "live within their means"．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn．
When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald's makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald's is excellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
小題1:The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that      ．
A．he is just one of the talented people
B．he is ready to help others
C．he has a sharp sense of hearing
D．he knows little about car repairing
小題2:The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by____   ．
A．spend more than they can afford
B．1ive within what they earn
C．1ive in their own circle
D．do in their own way
小題3:Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?
A．They don’t work hard enough．
B．They have no specialized skills．
C．They don't make full use of their talents．
D．They lack financial intelligence．
小題4:The main purpose of the author is to tell us____      ．
A．how young people can find a satisfactory job
B．What schools should teach about finance
C．why so many talented people are poor
D．how McDonald's makes much money

One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (鋪瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is    1  .
Once I heard a bald man said, “Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair.” Once you’ve    2   what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will    3   make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different    4 , or forget about it and    5  the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively    6  life, yet are essentially unhappy, while people who have suffered a great deal generally remain happy.
The first    7  is gratitude. All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to    8 , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is awareness. We should    9   that happiness is a byproduct (副產(chǎn)品) of something else. The most obvious    10   are those pursuits ( 追求) that give our lives purpose---anything from studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are   11   to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our   12   has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We need a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy is, it should    13  this truth: if you choose to find the   14   in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As for happiness itself, this    15   depends on your decision to make.

Once there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by --- the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I’m no longer a kid. I wouldn’t play around the tree any more.” the boy replied. “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited, “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help?” “Sorry, I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears.
“Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come and sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.

Have you ever come across this thing？When a rather dirty，poorly dressed person kneels at your feet and reaches out his hands to beg for a few coins，do you hurry to go，not knowing what to do，or do you feel sad and hurriedly __1__ some money？What should our attitude __2__ beggars be？There can be __3__ question that the world is full of terribly sad stories. It __4__ be terrible to have no idea where our next meal is going to come from. It seems __5__ not to give some money to beggars.
_6__，most of the world's great religions order us to be open­hearted and __7__ what we have with those unluckier than ourselves. But has the world changed？Maybe what was morally right in the old days，__8__ one knew exactly who in the village had suffered misfortune and needed help，is no longer the best idea.Quite a few people will not give some money to beggars.Let us look at their __9__.
Firstly，some believe that many city beggars dress themselves up __10_ to look pitiable but actually make a good __11__.Giving something to beggars only encourages this sort of evil(惡行)．__12__，there is the worry that the money you give will be spent on beers，wines or drugs.Thirdly，there is the opinion __13__ there is no real excuse for begging.One might be poor，__14__ that is no reason for losing one's sense of __15__ and self­dependence.
Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be handled by the government _16__ ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and _17__ help.
It is hard to come to any final conclusion：there are various _18__ and we must __19__ them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations，and even if the money is wasted，that does not take away the moral goodness of the __20__.

Last summer a tornado hit a small town nearby. I saw in the local newspaper a picture of a young woman a little boy and a younger  36  standing in front of a totally destroyed house eyes wide open with  37  .I noticed their clothing  38  closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less 39.
I   40   their situation to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Martin, and   41   the boys to donate some of their less favorite toys. My little daughter, Meghan,   42   quietly when the boys piled up the old toys. After a while, Meghan walked up   43   Lucy, her much-loved doll,   44   tightly to her chest. She put her round little   45   into Lucy’s, giving her a final kiss, and then laid her   46   on top of the others. “Oh, honey,” I said，“you don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much. ”
Meghan nodded, trying to   47   her tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mummy. Maybe she’ll make that little girl happy, too. ”
The boys watched in surprise   48   their baby sister placed Lucy in the   49  . While I stared at Meghan, reflecting upon my donation, they went, without a word, to their room and both          50   with their valued items. Martin hesitated   51  , then looked over at Meghan and put his model car next to Lucy. Amazed, I removed my old   52   from the box, and   53   it with a new one I had bought the week before, hoping the young woman would   54   it as much.
Anyone can give away what they no longer need, but true generosity is giving what you   55 .     I, who had meant to teach, was taught.
