26、When writing the story of your life, don’t let someone else hold the pen. 【1】 Here are some ideas for writing a life story:

Live happily in your own way. You are not in this world to live up to the expectations of others, nor should you feel that others are here to live up to yours. What success means to each of us is totally different. Success to others may mean being a good parent. Success is only about spending your life happily in your own way.

【2】   There are thousands of possible paths up the mountain of life, so it really doesn’t matter which path you start off on. The only mistake is by wasting time running around at the base of the mountain, telling everyone that your life path is wrong.

Embrace (信奉) new ideas, lessons, and challenges. Sometimes growing up means growing apart from old habits, relationships, and situations, and finding something new that truly moves you. 【3】 You should look very clearly into the unknown and enjoy it. Because when you come in contact with things that you don’t know, that’s when you’re learning, growing, and truly living.

Live honorably through kindness. If you live honorably, no matter how old you get, you’ll never lose your beauty. 【4】

Spend quality time with people you love. 【5】   People don’t live forever. Appreciate what you have, who loves you and who cares for you. You’ll never know how much they mean until the day when they are no longer beside you. Someday you will either regret not doing so, or you will say, “I’m glad I did.”

A．Lost time is never found again.

B．Appreciate the little things in life that mean a lot.

C．Change your path when you must, but keep moving forward.

D．There is nothing more wonderful than seeing life as an adventure.

E．For others, it may mean to simply be happy or it can be all of the above.

F．And remember, there is no better thing than reaching out and holding the hand of someone in need.

G．Make wise choices every day because the way you live each day is a sentence in the story of your life.

27、John，a very thin boy, loved football with all his heart when he was very young．Practice after practice，he eagerly gave everything he had．But being half the size of the other boys，he could only sit on the bench and hardly ever played in games．Even though the son was always on the bench，his father was always standing with cheers and encouraging him．

When John went to college，he decided to try out for the football team as a “walk-on”．Everyone was sure he could never make the cut，but he did．The coach thought he could provide the other members with the spirit they needed．

The news that he had survived the cut excited him so much that he rushed to the   nearest phone and called his father．His father shared his excitement and was sent season tickets for all the college games．

It was the end of this last football season．One day John received a telegram and   asked one week off．Nobody knew what happened except the coach．The coach said，“Don't plan to come back to the game on Saturday．”

28、Almost everyone has heard the expression, "the calm before the storm". It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument.

British sailors coined the phrase in the late 1600s. They noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become static(平静的) and the winds would drop. But why is it often so calm before a storm?

According to the US website How Stuff Works, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and wet air from the surrounding area. As the air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car”. Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. As the air goes down, it becomes warm and dry. Warm and dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm.

This same process also causes the “eye of the storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes. In these conditions, the calm occurs in the center of the storm because of the strong circling winds.

The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is, First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. So, for example, if you count nine seconds, the storm is about three kilometers away. A good judge is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away.

However, due to the complexity of storm system, not all storms are proceeded (领先) by calm. Given the right conditions, some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and icy winds. So, your best bet is to keep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. That’s the most reliable and sensible way to predict the next display of nature’s temper.

【1】What does the 3rd paragraph mainly tell us?

A．How a storm comes into being.

B．Why research is done on storm clouds.

C．Why a peaceful period occurs before a storm.

D．How dangerous a storm can be in certain situations.

【2】How far away is the storm if you count 18 seconds between a lightning flash and a thunder clap?

A．Three kilometers.

B．Four kilometers.

C．Five kilometers.

D．Six kilometers.

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A．Storms have a big influence on life.

B．It is not always quiet before a storm.

C．Weather reports may fail to predict a storm.

D．Heavy storms don’t usually last for a long time.

【4】Where is the text probably taken from?

A．A science report.

B．A weather report.

C．A touring guide.

D．An advertisement.

29、   If you cannot afford to travel in any class above economy, flying generally sucks, either a little or a lot, depending on your tolerance level. But it especially sucks if you are too wide for the airline’s design.

Just getting to your seat can be a challenge, as your hips(臀部,髋) bounce from seat to seat on each side of the aisle(过道). If someone is standing up to put things in the overhead locker, there is a decision to be made about whether it’s worth trying to squeeze past. Everything is just slightly too small: the seats, the overhead lockers, even the bathrooms – and those, it seems, are getting even smaller.

The Washington Post recently reported that, on some newer planes flown by American, Delta and United airlines, the bathrooms in economy class are just 61cm wide: about 25cm narrower than the average portable toilet, and roughly the width of the average dishwasher. Your face might be the only thing you can poke in there comfortably – which makes it a poor design, considering what a passenger is likely to need the bathroom for.

According to the manufacturer, these “Advanced Spacewell” bathrooms make space for six additional passengers, which is great for the airlines’ financial bottom line. But what about the other bottom line? Concerning, well, bottoms that can’t fit into their planes’ bathrooms?

As bodies get bigger and aeroplane spaces get smaller, the wide among us have come up with solutions. Armrests that turn us into sausages(香肠) can be pulled up, or slowly encased(围住,包起) into the soft flesh of our sides until we go numb(麻木). We can ask the flight attendant to get us a seat-belt extender, if security has confiscated the one we brought with us, as can sometimes happen. But squeezing into a tiny toilet and closing the door behind us? Not workable.

Unlike the impossible task of squeezing down the aisle to your seat, or the side-to-side dance necessary to get big hips past the armrests, fitting into a space just 61cm wide is not just a challenge – it is almost impossible. It is not like missing out on an option for the in-flight meal – a bathroom is as essential as a safety-compliant seat belt, or the air that is pumped in to the cabin(飞机舱). If airlines are not willing to make space for us, bigger passengers may have no option but to reconsider booking a flight at all.

【1】What is the advantage of the new toilets?

A.More passengers can use them. B.The airlines can increase their profits.

C.They are more comfortable. D.They are practical and convenient.

【2】What does the underlined word ‘confiscated’ mean?

A.provided B.questioned C.checked D.taken

【3】What does the fifth paragraph mainly tell us?

A.Fat people can deal with many problems they face on planes.

B.Flight attendants are likely to be helpful when asked for assistance.

C.Flying is pleasant for overweight people at present.

D.People’s bodies are getting bigger year by year.

【4】The writer believes that bigger passengers _____.

A.will have to find more creative solutions in the future

B.should grasp the chance to lose weight before flying

C.should miss out on the option for the in-flight meal

D.might be unable to travel by air in the future

30、   A professor was traveling with a few of his students, they happened to pass a lake. Then the professor told one of his students to get some _______ for him.

As a result, the water became very _______. The student thought, “How can I give this muddy water to my _______ to drink!? ” So he came back and told professor, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is _______ to drink.”

After about half an hour, again the professor asked the _______ student to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The student went back to the _______. This time he found that the lake had _______clear water in it. So he ________ some water in a pot and brought it to the professor.

You let it be ... and the mud ________ on its own — and you got clear water... Your ________is also like that. When it is ________, just let it be. Give it a little ________. It will settle down on its own. You don’t have to put in any effort to calm it down. It is ________.”

What did the professor emphasize here? He said, “It is effortless. Having '________of mind' is not a strenuous job; it is an effortless ________.
