If we were to keep a record of all the things we worried about during a given period of time，we would discover—in reviewing them—that the great majority of our     16     never come to pass. This means that most of the time we     17     to worrying，even the constructive（建設性的）kind that prompts us to try to come up with a     18     to what is troubling us，is wasted.     19   ，we not only caused ourselves unnecessary mental pain，but also    20   valuable minutes and hours that could have been spent elsewhere.

Toscanini looked with total     29      at the man．Then he    30     kindly and placed an arm around his shoulders．“My friend，”the maestro replied，“do not worry about it．The note E-flat does not    31   anywhere in the music that you will be    32   this evening．”
The next time we find ourselves in the middle of     33     about some matter，we might be wise to    34    and ask ourselves what the odds（幾率）are of the problem really coming to    35   .We may be able to go on to something more constructive．

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學年山東省聊城市某重點中學高二第四次模塊檢測英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

Most people want to be successful, but never stop to think what it will really take to get there in their chosen field. If it means going back to college for 2 years of night school, could you do it ? If it means reading a book a week for about 6 months in order to really master a new skill ? If you aren’t prepared to do any of those things because they are outside of your comfort zone, then you can forget being succesful. I guarantee you will never reach your goals in life, unless your goals are to be ordinary.
The biggest killer by far is the dreaded “ comfort zone ” where most people live in their entire life. And the funny thing is that people just can’t wrap their heads around the fact that people who have reached some success get tons of time to just relax, but only because they’ve earned it ! If you haven’t built a successful business, or in some way built a career that allow you so much freee time, then you are stuck in the grinding world of nine-to-five jobs everyone else. So how comfortable is that ?
So what can you do about it ? Well, find a way to make something happen in your life--- build a business around your favourite hobby, write a book and publish it, or take a course in stock trading and become an expert at that, working on making enough money to retire. If you don’t take massive action that puts your way of your comfort zone, you will never be successful at much of anything. I promise--- and I don’t make many promises !
Finding real happiness in life can be a mystery for many. That’s why I wrote The Road to Happiness for those who want real success and happiness in life, including spirituality and all the gifts life has to offer.
Don’t wander aimlessly through life. Get focused on your goals, start helping others in need, and live life to the fullest ! Life is too short to be anything but happy. Visit my website and find what you’ve been missing. Sign up for my newsletter and get seven free ebooks, too ! Read hundreds of articles while you’re there in the article section, which is updated daily.
【小題1】This text must be taken from __________.

A．a(chǎn) radio programB．a(chǎn) website
C．a(chǎn) newspaperD．a(chǎn) TV program
【小題2】If you want to be successful in life, what should you do first ?
A．We should think what it really takes to be successful in our chosen field.
B．We should focus our full attention on the work in our chosen field.
C．We should live out of the “ comfort zone ” all through our life.
D．We should work together with other people to reach our goals in time.
【小題3】According to this text, why do some people have so much free time to relax ?
A．Because they have enough money to do so.
B．Because they don’t want to be successful.
C．Because they have already earned it through hard work.

短文改錯 (共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分)
Last weekend I went to the Summer Palace as usually. At about noon, I was enjoying my reading near a lake while suddenly I hear someone crying for help. I went up to see what was happening. I was shocking to find a little child struggling in the water in the distance while many peoples were standing by without doing anything. Without any hesitation, I had pushed through the crowd as I took off my coat, but jumped into the water quickly. I managed to reach him and carried him back to safety. To his great relief, the kid was saved. I was proud what I had done. I wish everyone could give the hand when someone else is in need.

The choice to adopt and hold gratefulness is the one that is different from those who suffer misfortune and those who enjoy a full life.

My mother died when I was 24. It was a very difficult time in my life - everything seemed to fall apart. I lost my job, and then my utilities were turned off. I had to take cold showers for six months. A neighbor who knew about my situation came to my house and made me an offer. I took care of her children as a job, and I no longer went hungry. I was surprised that someone would trust me－a young woman－with her children. And it was with the very confidence that before long I began taking care of other people's children, too. I have since moved 300 miles from Boise, Idaho. For more than 23 years I have made every effort to reach out to all the kind-hearted people who helped me when I was down and out. Without their trust, I don't know what I would have done. I am very involved in my community and volunteer at the local food bank, and I help out whenever I can. I'd like to owe what I am to whoever has offered me generosity.

If you are grateful for what you already have, the world will work together to give you more to be grateful for. Otherwise, the world will give you more to complain about.

Moreover, the true master learns to be grateful, in advance, for the things that are desired, because, being grateful in advance for some attainment or accomplishment does two very important things: one－it tricks your subconscious(潛意識)into believing that the goal is certain and two…it convinces other people, with whom you must interact to achieve your desires, that you know what you are about, that you are a winner, not a whiner(哀訴者).

65. The underlined "utilities" refers to such things as ______ in the passage.

      A. gas and electricity   supplies                            B. water and gas supplies

      C. shower equipment and water supply             D. heating and TV signals

66. The writer was grateful mainly for ______.

      A. his neighbor's donation                  B. his community           

      C. having got the job                        D. others' trust

67. The writer's personal story in the second paragraph tells us that ______.

      A. to be grateful will get you nowhere but away from home

      B. we need to be grateful to be helpful and useful

      C. a grateful person is most likely to be successful

      D. the fragrance (芳香) stays in the hand that gives the rose

68. The best title for the passage would be ________.

      A. A Thank-You Note to Trusting Neighbor        B. You Are a Winner, Not a Whiner

      C. Gratefulness Brings a Great Fullness to Life D. Be Grateful to Life in Advance
