What does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommate’s need to study for an exam may take priority (優(yōu)先) over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade.

In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail — other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situ­ation, and the merit of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.

Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable — to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical (合乎道義的) or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrad­ing. Persuaders may enlighten our minds or get our vulnerability(脆弱之處). Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of edu­cation is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage and practice the other.

Beyond its personal importance to us, persuasion is necessary to society. The right to persuade and be persuaded is the bedrock of the American political system, guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution (美國(guó)憲法).

1. According to the passage, persuasion means ______.

A. changing others’ points of view

B. exercising power over other people

C. getting other people to consider your point of view

D. getting people to agree with you and do what you want

2. The underlined word in the second paragraph “prevail” means ______.

A. win B. fail C. speak D. listen

3.The passage states that some people object to persuasion because they think it is ______.

A. a danger to society B. difficult to do well

C. unwelcome behavior D. never successful

4.The passage mainly discusses ______.

A. that people persuade to get what they want

B. that people persuade in different ways

C. that persuasion is widely accepted and appreciated

D. that persuasion is important and it is all around us

I had recently arrived in London and I wanted to see some of the famous places. Should I go to the seaside? Or maybe one of the famous parks? I walked along the street, past a kindergarten playground, and suddenly saw an underground railway station. I was surprised because it was not on my map. I went to buy a ticket. The ticket-seller looked very old. He gave me a ticket, said "Remember it's a return", laughed and walked away without taking my money. Was it special for tourists?

A train arrived. I could not see any other passengers. I got on and the doors closed. I suddenly felt I should not have got onto the train. It started to go faster and faster, shooting along the tracks. As it entered the tunnel, everything became as dark as midnight and I do not remember the next few minutes. The train came to a station and I got out. I could see light shining in the distance so I walked towards it and came to a door. Beyond it there was a busy street.

There were lots of English people walking about, and I could see some of the famous buildings of London, but there was something wrong. The people's clothes were strange. There were no cars, no motorbikes—but there were horses everywhere. Was someone making a film?

“Excuse me,” I said to a man. “Would you mind telling me where I am and what is happening?”

“What do you mean? Who are you? Where do you come from? Are you from China? This is London and everyone's going to work. Can't you see that?” he asked.

“Thank you, sir. I'm sorry, but could I look at your newspaper?” I asked.

“You can have it,” he said as he walked off.

I looked at it; I saw “New Bicycle Law” and above that “July 5, 1880”.

Maybe I should have walked around, but I ran back to the door. I waited a long time. I was very afraid. A train came. I got on. It took me back to the first station. As I left, a woman asked, “What were you doing in that abandoned station?” I had no answer, but I still had the newspaper in my hand.

1.Why was the author surprised at the beginning of the story?

A. Because he suddenly saw an underground railway station.

B. Because he walked past a kindergarten playground.

C. Because the ticket-seller looked very old.

D. Because he couldn’t find the station on his map.

2.What does the underlined “it” in the second paragraph most probably mean?

A. The train. B. The light.

C. The distance. D. The door

3.Why did the author think he had arrived in a film-making scene?

A. Because he could see some of the famous buildings of London.

B. Because he had done something wrong in the street of London.

C. Because he could only see horses rather than cars in the streets.

D. Because the people in the streets were all neatly dressed.

4.According to the passage, New Bicycle Law might be _______.

A. The name for a London street.

B. The name for a film made in London.

C. The name for a newspaper article

D. The name for a underground station.

5.Where can this passage most probably be taken from?

A. In a storybook.

It is amazing to note that the Internet is still such a new device,and yet it is one of the fastest and most powerful media tools.But think about it for a moment.On the Internet,a big online company can be run by two guys out of their garage.So it is only reasonable that people shopping on the Net would be a little leery of the security levels.

Internet giants such as Microsoft knew consumer confidence was the key to getting virtual(虛擬) shopping off the ground,and they work hard to make people feel safe to shop online.

Credit card companies,too,quickly saw the potential for Internet shopping,and have installed things like online shopping insurance for people.If you ever have a problem with your online credit purchases,many credit card companies will happily refund(返還) your money and then set their claws on the company that wronged you.Now that’s buying power!

There are other bonuses for online shoppers,of course.No line-ups,for one.No annoying mall shopping carts with broken wheels and kids crying because their parents won’t get them what they want.

When shopping online,consumers can sit down,have a coffee,and wear their slippers,not have to worry about their hair or parking and just click through sale after sale.Comparison shopping couldn’t be any easier.And thanks to courier companies(速遞公司)getting in on the act,you never need wait longer than a day or two to get those all important purchases delivered right to your door.

No wonder so many companies are shaking their heads at traditional advertising and instead looking to the “virtual” world to attract online shoppers.

1.The underlined word “l(fā)eery” means__________.

A. satisfied B. distrustful

C. hopeful D. sad

2.________leads to consumers’ trust in online shopping.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(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)。

●Does failure really exist ?

If you believe you have failed, then you have. If you believe you don’t have the ability to succeed, then you don’t. 1. The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals, failure is born.

2.

Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. Don’t do that! 3. Never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart.

●Don’t believe in a clear finish line for goals.

It’s a good idea to set a general timeline, but remember that something will be beyond your control. 4. If you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! Instead, get a general idea of when you’d like your goal to be completed. Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible.

●Be sure that you don’t see difficulties as failures.

Difficulties mean only one thing: it’s not time for your goal to be completed yet. That’s it! It doesn’t mean you failed; it doesn’t mean you’re weak; it doesn’t mean you’ll never achieve your goals. 5. You’ve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.

A. Never give up on yourself.

B. Failure only exists in your own mind!

C. That’s exactly how failure makes us feel.

D. It simply means you have not done enough yet.

E. You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.

F. Instead, make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!

G. Work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.
