Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude and learn from them. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!‎ Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time.‎ As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn’t like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.‎ We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. They might seem so huge at the time, but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps on our road to success, we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!‎ ‎4. The underlined word “obstacles” (in Paragraph 2) roughly means things that ______.‎ A．are related to your studies B．you easily achieve C．make it difficult for you to do something D．make you happy ‎5.How does the author now feel when remembering what her parents did for her in the past?‎ A．She is grateful B．She is fearful C．She feels trapped D．She feels hateful ‎6.We can know from the last paragraph that _____________.‎ A．life needs no pains but sunshine and happiness B．life without challenges is dull C．faced with challenges, we should give up as the future is ours D．we shouldn’t easily pay a little hard work in growing up ‎7.The purpose of the passage is to tell readers____________.‎ A．life is full of hardships B．growing pains can turn into growing gains in a positive way C．everyone is painful in growing up D．everyone should do what they don’t like when young C A survey sponsored(赞助) by an international temporary service agency found that U. S. managers believe that people with a sense of humour do better at their jobs, compared with those who have little or no sense of humour. In fact, about 96 percent of ‎ those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better.‎ The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humour may help light-hearted employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, what's more, it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humourless colleagues. Why? It seems that those with a sense of humour are better communicators and better team players.‎ Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive. In fact, a researcher at California State University found that humour could help the employees to release tension.‎ Research done by psychologist Dr. Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin College in Virginia showed that humour helps us think. When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel angry or depressed. According to Dr. Trice's research, taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.‎ If humour is really this important, then why don't we use it more often on the job? Most likely, the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace. However, it is important to realize that some humour is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is often used at wrong times.‎ ‎8.Most people think a sense of humour can ________.‎ A.help you to do your work better B.make you have a rich life C.make you pleased with your work D.help you to make more friends ‎9.Many people don't use humour more in the workplace because __________.‎ A.they like keeping silent when working ‎ B.they don't like joking or laughing C.they think they should obey the rules D.they don't know the positive effects of humour ‎10.A person with a sense of humour is easier __________.‎ A.to feel surprised B.to be worried C.to get along with D.to be successful ‎11.What is probably the best title for the article?‎ A.People with a Sense of Humour. B.Humour and Humourless C.Humour Is Important in the Workplace. D.Everyone Likes Humour.‎ D One very cold day，a snowstorm blew into our area. Needing firewood，I quickly set out with my best friend，Bruce，to look for a tree to cut down. I was glad to have Bruce along with. Cutting down a tree in a snowstorm can be dangerous. So it was important to have a friend who could warn me of danger. ‎ When I chose a big tree about 23 meters tall and prepared to cut it down，my best friend suddenly warned me，“Don’t cut down that tree！It’s too close to the power line！﹙电线﹚”I wasn’t sure about it. So I decided to disregard his warning. I wanted to finish the job quickly and go home. So I began cutting down the tree. When the tree fell，there was no longer any doubt that my friend was right.‎ The tree caught the power line，bringing it to the ground. I considered cutting the tree off the line. After all，electricity can’t travel through wood，so I could safely remove ‎ the tree. As I reached out my finger to touch the tree，pain ran up my arm and through my head. I was shocked!‎ After I returned home and told my mother what had happened，she quickly called the power company. The workers from the power company soon arrived on the scene. One of them asked if I had touched the tree，and when I told him I had，his face turned pale.‎ ‎“You should have been killed，” he said.‎ So why am I still alive？It was my boots that saved my life.‎ Within two hours，the workers removed the tree. Soon the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother.‎ Even though she was glad I wasn’t hurt，my mother was still serious. After all，I shouldn’t have brushed off my friend’s warning.‎ Through this experience，I learn it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective. Taking time to listen might actually save a lot of time and trouble. It certainly would have kept me from getting the “shock” of my life.‎ ‎12.The underlined word “disregard” in the second paragraph means “________”．‎ A．follow B．take notice of C．Consider D．pay no attention to ‎13.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A．But for his boots，the author would have died.‎ B．The author knew nothing about electricity.‎ C．The author regretted having brushed off his friend’s warning.‎ D．When the tree was cut down，the author realized his friend was right.‎ ‎14.The underlined part “the snowstorm calmed down—but not my mother” means “________”．‎ A．my mother was still angry with me for not listening to my friend’s warning B．my mother was still in fear of the terrible accident C．my mother was still comforting me D．my mother was still worried about my safety ‎15.The author wrote the passage mainly to________.‎ A．make us know it’s important to listen to people who offer a different perspective through his experience B. give an account of one of his terrible experiences C．tell us not to cut trees down any more D．remind us to be careful while we are working 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的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 The eyes are the windows of the soul.
