25、        We often realize we should change and unlock our self-improvement power, but we don’t take action. The only time we think of changing and unlocking our self improvement power is when everything gets worst. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽视)it.

       When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get difficult.

        Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so, but because we realize it’s good for us.

Happy people don’t just accept change, they embrace(拥抱)it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are.

Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be around groups of people. She hears her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but also lives it!

       Self-improvement may not be easy, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process (过程) instead of counting the days until we are fully improved. Three times in a week at the gym would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to change and become happy.

【1】The writer asks the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that _______.

A．we decide to change when we experience pain

B．we often meet many problems in our daily life

A．She needs to remember when she acted like this.

B．She has to know how to make friends with people.

C．She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.

D．She needs to understand the importance of confidence.

【3】The writer probably agrees that _______.

A．the world tells us how to improve ourselves

B．people change when they find it easy to do that

C．welcoming change in life is a power to become better

D．enjoying the process of self improvement makes life harder

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．Is it important to take action?

B．Is it necessary to take on challenges?

26、For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective “fashionable” in the same way: “She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable colour.”

But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs…and in languages. Fashions change as time goes.

Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspaper, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours.

27、   With the Chinese language growing in popularity, the UK government plans to invest 10 million pounds to help more kids learn Chinese. Do you think it is necessary for UK pupils to learn Chinese?

Seneca (Canada) I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college and get good marks. I studied Chinese for about 4 months before moving to China. Any language, if you don’t use it, it’s easy to lose. I’ve forgotten the French I learnt except for a few phrases. I speak Chinese every day. My writing, reading and listening are quite good, but far from being fluent. I think nowadays, it’s almost necessary to learn Chinese.

Tony (the UK) Learning any language can be valuable, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn, and the UK is not good for teaching foreign languages. But, China is a big and developing market for the UK business people. For them, Chinese is worth learning.

Bill (the USA) I don’t think Chinese will become as widely spoken all over the world as English is. To learn Chinese, you have to devote yourself to learning how to write and read it. It’s too difficult to learn. But in the future Chinese will become more popular, and that is a good thing.
