21、   Attitude Is Everything Jerry was the kind of guy who was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say.

One day I asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a bad mood or in a good mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.” Soon thereafter, I left the city and we lost touch. Several years later, I heard Jerry did something surprising: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry survived. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of care, Jerry was released from the hospital with pieces of the bullets(子弹) still in his body.

I saw Jerry six months after the accident. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or to die. I chose to live. ”“Weren’t you scared?” I asked.  Jerry continued, “The paramedics(护理人员) were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But in the emergency room, the facial expressions of the doctors and nurses really scared me. In their eye, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I need to take actions.”  “What did you do?” I asked.  “Well, a nurse asked me if I was allergic to anything,” said Jerry.“The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Yes! Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”

22、Your Brain Was Made For Walking

If a president, a legendary philosopher, and one of the bestselling authors of all time credited the same secret for their success, would you try to follow it too? What if the secret was something you already knew how to do? 【1】.

Get walking! It’s not just some people who made a case for it as a prime creativity booster.【2】A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 percent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting. According to the study, walking outside — versus on a treadmill (跑步机) — produces the most novel and highest quality analogies in participants who walked and then sat down to do creative work.

The movement aspect of walking is obviously key. You’ve probably heard the phrase “Exercise your creativity”, which refers to the brain as muscle. Our creative mindset is stimulated by physical movement. 【3】

But the scenery is almost as important as the sweat. The National Human Activity Pattern Survey reveals that Americans spend 87 percent of their time indoors. Being inside, you’re more likely to stagnation (停滞), the antithesis of energy. 【4】 Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your habitual surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.

【5】 Engage more closely with your surroundings for the next four weeks. Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, to notice the way people move. Walk not just for exercise. Walk for wonder.

A．In fact, you probably do it every day.

B．Physical movement is unintentional.

C．Without energy, you can’t wonder or create.

D．So why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking?

E．That is why walking with a friend, or alone feeds creative thinking.

F．Researchers have traced connections between walking and generating ideas.

G．Disconnecting from multimedia increases performance on all problem-solving tasks.

23、Once on a dark winter’s day, when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they do at night, a Little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the big thoroughfares.

She leaned against her father, who held her in his arm, as she stared out of the window at the passing people with a queer (strange, odd) old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes.

Principally, she was thinking of what a queer thing it was that at one time one was in India in the blazing sun, and then in the middle of the ocean, and then driving in a strange vehicle through strange streets where the day was as dark as the night. She found this so puzzling that she moved closer to her father.

“What is it. darling?” Captain Crewe asked, holding her closer and looking down into her face.

During her short life only one thing had troubled her, and that thing was “the place” she was to be taken to some day. The climate of India was very bad for children, and as soon as possible they were sent away from it-generally to England and to school. She bad seen other children go away, and had heard their fathers and mothers talk about the letters they received from them1. She had known that she would be obliged to go also, and though sometimes her father’s stories of the voyage and the new country had attracted her, she had been troubled by the thought that he could not stay with her.

She had liked to think of that. To keep the house for her father; to ride with him, and sit at the head of his table when he had dinner parties; to talk to him and read his books - that would be what she would like most in the world, and if one must go away to “the place“ in England to attain it, she must make up her mind to go. She did not care very much for other little girls, but if she had plenty of books she could console herself.

It was a big, dull, brick house, exactly like all the others in its row, but that on the front door there shone a brass plate on which was engraved in black letters:

MISS MINCHIN, Select Seminary for Young Ladies.

“I don’t like it, papa, ” she said. “But then I dare say soldiers - even brave ones-don’t really like going into battle. ” Sara stood quietly, with her eyes fixed upon Miss Minchin’s face. She was thinking something odd, as usual.

【1】What can we learn from the story?

A．Sara was bothered by her departure from her father.

B．Sara was about to be sent to London for a completely new life.

C．Sara was thinking of a way to escape being sent to a foreign country.

D．Sara was persuaded to receive further education in a prestigious school.

【2】What does the underlined word “console“ in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A．entertain

B．occupy

C．comfort

D．improve

【3】What does Sara probably think of her’ future in the new place?

A．She didn’t mind living with other girls.

B．She hated the idea of living independently.

C．She was positive about the new life at school.

D．She was confident to adapt to the new environment.

【4】Which of the following writing skills is employed in the text?

A．The author compares Sara’s bravery to that of the soldiers.

B．The description of the surroundings is to add horror to the story.

C．The image of Sara is depicted through appearance and language.

D．Body language is employed to show the character’s state of mind.

24、Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.

I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.

Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.

After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.

Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and I returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

A. discussed his decision with his family.

B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work

C. attended special training to perform difficult tasks

D. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends

【2】In his application for the volunteer job, the author

A. participated in many discussions

B. went through some interviews and presentations

C. wrote quite a few papers on voluntary work

D. faced strong competition from other candidates

【3】On arrival at the village, the author was

A. asked to lead a farming team

B. sent to teach in a schoolhouse

C. received warmly by local villagers

D. arranged to live in a separate house.
