7.When I was 12,I got a part-time job on a dairy farm,milking cows.We milked 65 cows twice a day.One day,I complained to my father about having to go milk those cows,saying it was tiring.He said,you know,boy,to work is a blessing.I looked at the men who'd worked harder.I had a feeling I had been told something really important,but it took many years before it sank in.
 Back then,going to college was a rare privilege.My father told me if I'd picked something to study that I liked doing,I'd always look forward to my work.But he also added,even having a job you hate is better than not having a job at all.I wanted to be a farmer,but I joined a military program to help pay for college.And what started out as an obligation to the Army became a way of life that I had been devoted to for 37 years.
In the late 1980s,during a visit to Bangladesh,I saw a woman with her baby on her back,breaking bricks with a hammer.I asked a local officer why they weren't using a machine to make the work easier.He told me a machine would put that lady out of work.And as bad as that woman's job was,it was enough to keep a small family alive.It reminded me of my father's words:to work is a blessing.
 After seeing a lot of people like that woman in Bangladesh,I've come to believe that people without jobs are not free.They're victims of crime,poor health,and depression.People who have jobs can have a home,send their kids to school,develop a sense of pride,contribute to the good of the community and even help others.When we can work,we are free.We are blessed.

分析 本文屬于記敘文閱讀,主要向我們講述了作者在奶牛場(chǎng)兼職,但是這里的工作很累,父親就告訴作者工作是一種福氣,在下文作者詳細(xì)講述了有工作是一種福氣,這使我們可以掙錢養(yǎng)家,因此我們應(yīng)該對(duì)于自己有工作而感到自豪.

解答 70.D  主旨大意題.在本文中作者詳細(xì)描述了自己的人生道路中父親的話的影響,他多次提到 He said,you know,boy,to work is a blessing.有工作是好事.有了工作才可以有一切.故選D.
71.B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)One day,I complained to my father about having to go milk those cows,saying it was tiring.可知我認(rèn)為擠牛奶這份工作很讓人厭倦很乏味.故選B.
72.D  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第2段 I wanted to be a farmer,but I joined a military program to help pay for college.可知我參軍主要是因?yàn)樽约焊恫黄鸫髮W(xué)的學(xué)費(fèi).故選D.
73.C  詞義猜測(cè)題,根據(jù)And what started out as an obligation to the Army became a way of life that I had been devoted to for 37 years.可知作為一種義務(wù),軍隊(duì)成了我的一種新的生活方式,故選C.
74.C  細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第3段He told me a machine would put that lady out of work.可知有了機(jī)器,工作效率就會(huì)提高,那么就會(huì)讓一些人失業(yè).而人們需要工作來(lái)養(yǎng)活自己.故選C.
75.B  段落大意題.根據(jù)文章最后3行People who have jobs can have a home,send their kids to school,develop a sense of pride,contribute to the good of the community and even help others.When we can work,we are free.We are blessed.可知有工作是很幸運(yùn)的事情,有了工作我們就有了一切.故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀理解時(shí)要快速的瀏覽全文,把握文章主旨大意,帶著問(wèn)題回到原文,尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案,最后要理清作者寫作思路.

2.From now on,never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings.Instead,realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born.Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds,and the power to grow them,are contained in the most awesome machine ever created:the human mind.Success is a choice and not a chance.You were born a winner.You were born rich.You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem.Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself,and thus over your life.People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power,or responsibility for their lives.They are the perennial(長(zhǎng)期的) victims and martyrs(殉道者).They are leaves tossed(搖擺) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance.Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify the cause,we can control the effect.We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe.One generally rises to the level that one expects.We are responsible for setting our expectations.Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people,you are definitely going to achieve success.On the contrary,the opposite happens.We are responsible for finding,planting,and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory,born from setbacks.
In short,in all areas of your life,whether they be financial,physical,emotional,or spiritual,you are responsible.Once you recognize this,accept it,and firmly believe it,you are on the road to success.

51.People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because theyB.
A.a(chǎn)re ready to change their minds            
B.can't exercise control over themselves

A.success is the result of hard work            
B.their failure is only because of bad luck
C.working hard will lead to success      
D.they don't make efforts to succeed
53.It can be inferred from paragraph 5thatD.
A.setting our expectations is essential before taking action
B.developing confidence is the key to future success
C.thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D.whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
54.The last paragraph serves asC.
A.the proof of the author's points                  
B.a(chǎn)n introduction to another topic
C.the conclusion of the argument                  
D.a(chǎn) comparison between two views
55.Which is the best title for the text?C

19.One of the greatest sources of unhappiness,in my experience,is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are.
When we see something we don't like,we wish it could be different.We cry out for something better.That may be human nature,or perhaps it's something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture.The root of the unhappiness isn't necessarily that we want things to be different.However,it's that we decided we didn't like it in the first place.We've judged it as bad,rather than saying,"It's not bad or good,and it just is it."
In one of my books,I said"You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned".Some readers said it's too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong.However,it's only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad.Instead,you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is.
This can be applied to whatever you do:how other people act at work,how politics works and how depressing the news media can be.Accept these things as they are,and try to understand why they're that way. It will save you a lot of sadness,because you'll no longer say,"Oh.1wish bad things didn't happen!''
Does it mean you can never change things?Not at a11.But change things not because you can't accept things as they are,but because you enjoy the process of changing,learning and growing.
Can we make this world a better place?You can say that you'11continue to try to do things to help others,to grow as a person,to make a difference in this world.That's the correct path you choose to take,because you enjoy that path.Therefore,when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference,try a different approach:accept,and understand.It might lead to some interesting results.

41.The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe becauseD.
A.it is our natural emotion in the life
B.culture asks us to be different from others
C.everyone has their own opinions on things
D.we dislike something in the beginning
42.Some readers think the words in the author's book is tooA.
A.depressing  B.frightening   C.delighting  D.idealistic
43.In Paragraph 4,the underlined word"it"refers toC.
A.a(chǎn)cting well at work and in politics
B.feeling depressed for the news media
C.a(chǎn)ccepting and understanding what has happened
D.saying something negative when bad things come
44.In the last paragraph,you are advisedD.
A.to help others and make a difference
B.to enjoy what you have to do in the work
C.to judge yourself and make a wish for you
D.to try a new way when making the world better
45.What is the main theme of the passage?B
A.Expecting things to be different gives us hope.
B.Accepting can make our life happier and better.
C.Traditional culture becomes root of unhappiness.
D.Judging good or bad is important for our world.
