What is it that you love to do but never feel that you get it quite right? Perhaps you don't even try any more because you think what you do is not  36  enough.
Discouragement seems to follow us a good part of the time,   37  whatever it is that we work so hard doing, it seems that there is    38   someone else who can do it much better.
I have always enjoyed music and it is    39   to me that every musician has a    40  of their own. My father__41   several instruments and when he played with others, it was not difficult to ___42  his sound in a group. Whether it was guitar or another instrument, he had his own  43 sound.
I  44  read of a music teacher who commented to a discouraged student, “   45   else can make the sound that you make. The sound that you make may not be the same as someone else's but who is to say which is     46   . ” It is said that, “   47    is in the eye of the beholder(觀看者), ” perhaps it could be said that “a delightful sound is in the ear of the    48   . ”
Every person has a different tone of voice that     49  only to them,     50    we all know people with an unforgettable laugh or a way of     51    that is unique to them. It might not be the sound of your music or your voice at all. It      52    be the way you whistle or the sound of your footsteps.
Each person has a(an)   53 on the world in some way. Someone else can do what you do, but they cannot do it   54  the same way that you do it. The next time you feel   55 , remember “Nobody else can make the sound that you make. ”

Dreaming is a natural part of who we are. We explore our dreams and develop personal dreams. We even like to dream BIG!
For the most part our dreams and wishes focus on the end result. We see ourselves in love, married, driving a great car, on vacation, with tons of money, in a great career, etc. Dreaming about the end result is just fantasizing and wishing. Wishing relies on some magical force to make our dreams turn into reality, and we become unhappy as we’re not living(實(shí)現(xiàn)) our dreams.
So how can we make our dreams come true? That is a question we all often struggle with. Even though we struggle with the answer, the answer is not that clear. We make our dreams come true with the action we take.
In my opinion, if you dream about being in good health, then change your dream to see yourself working out and eating right day by day. See the beginning of the dream and let the dream build day by day with all the action that gets you to the end dream of you being in good health.
If you want riches, then change the dream. Dream of yourself going to school, developing a career, working hard and taking the steps to arrive at the destination. If you want love, love the process. Love the dating process(過程). Love yourself and the journey to find love.
Make all your dreams include the beginning, middle and end. Then when you are doing the action instead of thinking to yourself, “This is a drag. I don’t like working out,” or if you are having any negative thoughts about doing the work it takes to create your visions(夢(mèng)幻), realize then that every step of the way you are living your dream. You are living your dream because you made the action and journey part of your dream.
小題1:According to the writer, most of the people____.
A.pay more attention to developing their dreams
B.enjoy the process of their dreams
C.a(chǎn)re always ignoring the process of living their dreams
D.probably dream of making much more money easily
小題2:In order to live our dreams, we must____.
A.struggle with dreams day and night.
B.have great wishes and thoughts.
C.have magical forces every night.
D.take action or steps.
小題3: If you want to keep fit,______
A.you’d better dream a sweet dream first.
B.you must love the process of the journey.
C.you would rather begin with your diet and exercise.
D.you should have a good beginning first.
小題4: what can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.It’s important to focus on your final result.
B.Good mind and action can help you live your dream.
C.Think to yourself while living your dream.
D.Creating your visions comes first.

Most people agree that it’s important to have a sense of humor. Having the ability to laugh can help one overcome anxiety, and make better decisions in difficult situations. People with a well-developed sense of humor appear to be happier, and some are healthier as well. This suggests that having a sense of humor is good for you. Humorless people may find themselves being treated as a fool, and become anxious and upset.
A sense of humor also plays an important role in human relationships. However, not everyone has a sense of humor. People with developmental disabilities (發(fā)展性能力喪失) can sometimes have no sense of humor, or have a very strange one.
A number of factors affect a person’s sense of humor, with the age probably being the main one. Young children are often highly amused by simple jokes or shows, while teenagers prefer to enjoy the ironic (諷刺的) events. Educational level, culture, and religious faith also affect one’s sense of humor. While Christians, for example, may have a deep appreciation of jokes about the Bible, others may find them disrespectful.
Many people believe that a sense of humor is something that develops on its own, and that you cannot teach someone to understand why jokes, certain comments, situations or events are funny. However, things can be done to enhance one’s sense of humor. Children, for example, benefit from being told jokes and encouraged to laugh, although some children’s jokes might seem rather strange to adults. If you have children, try to encourage them to tell jokes and think about what makes things funny. And it will help them develop a sense of humor.
小題1:The purpose of the passage is to _______.
A.explain what influences a person’s sense of humor
B.tell readers the importance of being healthy
C.explain how to make better decisions
D.tell readers how to understand jokes
小題2:What does the underlined word in Paragraph 4 “enhance” probably mean?
A.Enjoy.B.Reduce.C.Improve.D.Prevent.
小題3:According to the passage, which of the following isn’t talked about in our passenger?
A.Culture.B.Age
C.Educational level.D.Family backgrounds.

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.

When something goes wrong,it can be very satisfying to say,“Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know I’m late,but it’s not my fault;the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault,but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.
小題1:According to the passage, winners        .
A.deal with problems rather than blame others
B.meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C.have responsible and able colleagues
D.blame themselves rather that others
小題2:When your colleague brings about a problem, you should         .
A.a(chǎn)sk a more able colleague for help
B.blame him for his lack of responsibility
C.tell him to find the cause of the problem
D.find a better way to handle the problem
小題3:When problems occur, winners take them as         .
A.excuses for their failuresB.barriers to greater power
C.challenges to their colleaguesD.chances for self-development
小題4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.A Winner’s Problem.B.A Winner’s Secret.
C.A Winner’s Opportunity.D.A Winner’s Achievement.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來源:不詳 題型:閱讀理解

Once upon a time, a man was walking on a mountain when he found an incredible cave with all kinds of treasure inside it. So he gave up his job, his home, and his friends, and spent all his time guarding the cave.
He was so dedicated to it that he hardly ate or drank, and before long he fell ill. One day, when he could hardly move at all, he decided to share the treasure.
He crawled(爬)into the cave to get a handful of jewels, but discovered, to his horror, that it was empty except for a small emerald(綠寶石). The man took it, and gave it to the first person he came by, a woman.
Then an old man came by. “What bad luck!” the man said. “Just a moment ago I gave a woman the last of the treasure I was guarding.”
“Are you sure there is nothing left?” the old man asked.
The man took him into the cave, where they found a chest with jewels and some bags of gold. The man was shocked, and the old man explained to him, “At last! At last someone has broken the spell(咒語(yǔ))of this cave. This is the Cave of Treasure, and you’re the first to have passed its great test. Many have dedicated their lives to this cave, only to end up realizing there was nothing here…”
“And why does this happen?” the man asked.
“This magic cave has only as many riches as your own heart. When someone discovers it, the cave is filled with treasure, but later, when they have devoted themselves to guarding the treasure, their hearts empty, as does the cave. The only way to fill it is by filling your heart with all that is good, as you did by giving the woman that last jewel.”
From that day on, the man understood that it was better to share than to keep. Thanks to the cave and the old man, he became noble and generous.
