Here are the stories of a few of them.‎ Abraham Lincoln(1809-1865)‎ Abraham Lincoln was one of America’s greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War(from 1860 to 1865). However, his life was never easy. He started numerous businesses that failed. He went bankrupt(破产) twice, and was defeated in 26 campaigns for public office. He later said, “My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are satisfied with your failure. ”‎ Vincent Van Gogh(1853-1890)‎ Van Gogh is one of the most famous and influential painters in the history of Western Art. He’s well-known for paintings such as The Starry Night, The Potato Eaters and Sunflowers. However, during his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting for a very small amount of money. Despite this, he carried on painting, sometimes even going without food so he could complete his collection of over 800 known works.‎ Albert Einstein(1879-1955)‎ Albert Einstein won the Noble Prize in Physics in 1921. However, he wasn’t always considered as a “genius”. He didn’t speak until he was four, and couldn’t read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he was slow, so he was forced to leave school and couldn’t get into the Zurich‎ Polytechnic ‎School. He later famously said, “Success is failure in progress. ”‎ Stephen King(born 1947)‎ Stephen King is one of the best-selling authors of all time, but his first book, Carrie, was rejected by about 30 publishers. Eventually, Stephen threw it in the garbage can, but his wife fished it out and encouraged him to resubmit it, which he did successfully this time!‎ ‎21.Who became famous all over the world after his death?‎ A. Abraham Lincoln. B. Vincent Van Gogh. C. Albert Einstein. D. Stephen King.‎ ‎22. What was the main reason for Albert Einstein’s dropping out of school?‎ A. He was too slow to learn.‎ B.

He didn’t obey the school rules.‎ ‎23.Why did Stephen King throw his first book in the garbage can?‎ A.He found it of poor quality. B.His wife didn’t support him.‎ C.He wanted to write a new one. D.He was refused again and again.‎ ‎24.What do the people in the passage have in common?‎ A.They are all Americans. B.They all suffered failure before they succeeded.‎ C.They were all born in the same century. D.They are all known for their writings.‎ B ‎ My wife and I were at a crowded grocery store not long ago. It was a weekday evening, cold and wet and tense. People were carelessly blocking aisles, complaining and cutting one another off with their carts.‎ Things got worse at the checkout line. The cashier scanned a man’s discount card, but he misread the savings on her screen as an additional charge. He decided she was acting deliberately and began to argue.‎ ‎“She is being spiteful (恶意的) !” he yelled. “This is unbelievable.”‎ Other customers looked away as the cashier tried to reason with him. She called a manager, who accompanied him to customer service. Shaken, she moved to the next customer in line.‎ We’ve all witnessed uncomfortable scenes like this in public places. The grocery scene was another example of how our trust in others has eroded. But it was also a teachable moment on how we can rebuild our faith-starting with just one person.‎ Back at the grocery store, my wife and I reached our uneasy cashier. I grabbed a bottle of water from a nearby cooler and handed it to her. “We felt bad about how that man treated you and wanted to buy this for you.” I said. Her face lit up, and we talked as she scanned our items. She told us she had been working that evening through severe foot pain and would be having surgery later that week. We wished her well in her recovery, and she thanked us as we left.‎ Those are the balancing acts, the moments of responding social and emotional pain with healing, which will add up to restore trust among people. You can start that pattern in someone else’s life, even in a place as ordinary as the neighborhood grocery store.‎ ‎25. Why did the man at the checkout line argue with the cashier?‎ A. The cashier called a manager to help her.‎ B. Someone jumped the queue waiting to check out.‎ C. There was something wrong with his discount card.‎ D. He believed the cashier charged him more on purpose.‎ ‎26.The underlined word “eroded” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.‎ A. added B. increased C. faded D. formed ‎27.The author bought a bottle of water for the cashier because ________.‎ A. he thought the cashier might feel a little bit thirsty B. he knew she had gone through much trouble recently C. he wanted to restore the trust between her and the man D. he wanted to comfort her after the terrible experience just now C When she’s playing with her children, Sandra Kim’s phone is nowhere in sight. For instance, she puts it upstairs before going downstairs to play with her children. Kim, a stay-at-home mother of three children between the ages of 3 and 8, knows that whenever she uses her phone, her kids get upset. "When we’re playing, I call my husband to tell him that I won’t be reached for a few hours, "Kim said.‎ It's obvious that we are at a time when cellphones are causing trouble in relationships. A study asked college couples how dependent they were on their smartphones and how difficult it would be for them to go without their phones for a day. Those who felt that their partners were too dependent on their phones said they weren’t as satisfied with their relationship as those who considered their partners to be less dependent on them.‎ ‎“It's a very complicated issue,” said Brandon McDaniel, an assistant professor in the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences at Illinois‎ State ‎University who studied phones and relationships. "It is often unrealistic to cut out phone use entirely, and it is also unrealistic to simply tell yourself that you will practice self-control and not check your phone, "McDaniel said. But, he added, "It can also begin to tear relationships apart so we need to be careful."‎ McDaniel found that it damaged relationships when partners allowed their devices(设备) to interrupt their face-to-face interactions, turned to others online instead of believing in their partners or compared their relationship with those they saw on social media. In a 2014 study, he found that when technology devices frequently interrupted partners, couples had more conflict（冲突）over technology use, lower relationship satisfaction, more depressive symptoms and lower life satisfaction.‎ But the phone doesn't even have to be turned on to be troublesome. If we can at least start from ‎ a common meaning that we love each other and want to connect, then we can set some ground rules(基本规则) for things that will help to keep us connected.‎ 28. What can we know about Kim when she is playing with her kids?‎ A. She always goes upstairs B. She frequently checks her phone.‎ C. She stays away from her phone for hours. D. She keeps in touch with her husband on the phone.‎ ‎29. People’s frequent use of smartphones can lower their partners’_____.‎ A. conflict in technology B. relationship satisfaction C. dependence on the Internet D. confidence in communication ‎30. What is McDaniel’s suggestion on the use of smartphone?‎ A. Being careful. B. Turning to other people.‎ C. Practicing self-control. D. Stopping using the phone.‎ ‎31. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Times come when we depend on phones ‎ B. Kids need your time spent with them C. Great changes brought by cellphones ‎ D. Watch out for your smart phone D As years went by, I realized that one of the biggest problems of adults was worry. A large majority of my students were businessmen, executives, salesmen, engineers, accountants: a cross section of all the trades and professions — and most of them had problems! There were women in the classes — business women and housewives. They too had problems. Clearly, what I needed was a textbook on how to conquer worry. So again, I tried to find one.‎ I went to the New York great public library at Fifth Avenue and ‎42nd Street and discovered to my astonishment that this library had only twenty-two books listed under the title WORRY. I also noticed, to my amusement, that it had one hundred and eighty-nine books listed under WORMS(虫子). Almost nine times as many books about worms as about worry! Surprising, isn't it? Since worry is one of the biggest problems facing mankind, you would think, wouldn't you, that every high school and college in the land would give a course on “How to Stop Worrying”?‎ Yet, if there is even one course on that subject in any college in the land, I have never heard of it. No wonder David Seabury said in his book How to Worry Successfully: “We come to maturity(成熟) with as little preparation for the pressures of experience as a bookworm asked to do a ballet(芭蕾).” The result? More than half of our hospital beds are all occupied by people with nervous and emotional troubles.‎ I looked over those twenty-two books on worry on the shelves of the New York Public Library. In addition, I bought all the books on worry I could find; yet I couldn't discover even one that I could use as a text in my course for adults. So I decided to write one by myself.‎ ‎32. What made the writer realize one of the adults’ biggest problems?‎ A. His wide reading. B. His practical survey.‎ C. His students’ real situation. D. His scientific research.‎ ‎33. The writer went to New York's great public library with the purpose of ________.‎ A. getting a book for his teaching B. finding some material for his new book C. obtaining some information for his research D. borrowing some books on worms for his students ‎34. What do David Seabury’s words in Paragraph 3 show?‎ A. Worry is extremely common. ‎ B. We lack knowledge of worry.‎ C. We show no interest in worry. ‎ D.Worry can hardly be controlled.‎ ‎35. What's the author’s purpose of writing the passage?‎ A. To warn us of the possible danger of worry. ‎ B. To persuade us to get rid of worry.‎ C. To explain why he wrote a book on worry. ‎ D. To tell us how to conquer worry.‎ 第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Your children are watching you.   (36)  According to the Health Program, developing healthy habits is an important part for your children. And when it comes to developing healthy habits, parents influence their children more than anyone else.‎ ‎     (37)  What happens during those early years can influence children for the rest of their lives. This includes some eating and exercise habits. Children are very careful, even at a young age. Children watch what others do carefully and imitate the behaviors of those closest to them. As parents, you should do the following:  (38)   If you do that, your children are more likely to be enthusiastic about developing theirs.‎ Let your children see you taking care of your own physical health by eating fruits and vegetables. Talk to them about healthy habits in appropriate terms and at a proper time.   (39)  ‎ ‎    (40)   Computers, televisions and other forms of technology are a major part of life in the 21st century. Unfortunately, as the use of technology in the home increases, so does the time spent watching TV or playing on the computer. So as parents, you should also arrange the time for your children wisely.‎ A. Take part in physical activities and exercise regularly.‎ B. Don’t get rid of technology, but use it wisely.‎ C. Be enthusiastic about developing healthy habits of your own.‎ D. Your actions are speaking to them louder than your words will.‎ E.
