      When I took the first exam, I was _3_to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, _4_English was
my best subject.I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained_5_.

listened patiently but wouldn"t change his_8_.
     One more test before the final exam.One more_9_to improve my grade.So I redoubled my efforts

everything  12    as before.
     The last hurdle (障碍) was the final.No matter what  13   I got, it wouldn"t cancel three C-pluses.
I might as well kiss the   14   goodbye.

     I stared at him,  19   that his analysis and strategy (策略) were correct.I had worked my head  20  ,
as I had never done before.
      I was speechless when my course grade arrived:A-plus.It was the only A-plus given.The next
year I received my scholarship.I"ve always remembered Professor Jayne"s lesson:you alone must set
your own standard of excellence.

      Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic!
Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience."
     How right they were!Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into
opportunity and strangers into friends.
     "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm, " wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.It is the paste
that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough.It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!"
when others shout, "No, you can"t."
     It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist (遗传学家) who
won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted.Yet she didn"t let_up on her experiments.Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
    Author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm
wrinkles the soul."
    Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power.If we connot do
what we love as a fulltime career, we can treat it as a part-time interest, like the head of state who
paints, the nun (修女) who runs marathons, and the official who handcrafts (手工制作) furniture.
    We can"t afford to waste tears on "might-have-beens". We need to turn the tears into sweat as
we go after "what-can-be".
     We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure in the fragrance
of a back-yard garden, the crayoned (蜡笔的) picture of a six-year-old, the enchanging, beauty
of a rainbow.It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes, a lift in our steps and
smoothes the wrinkles from our souls.
1. What can be the best title of this passage?
A. Find pleasure in what you are doing
B. Wake up your life
C. To give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul
D. No pains, no gains
2. What conclusion does the writer draw through the experience of finding a job?
A. Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.
B. Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
C. We can"t afford to waste tears on "might-have-beens".
D. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
3. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?
A. No one can achieve great success without enthusiasm.
B. Enthusiasm will take a person further than any amount of his experience.
C. We should make great efforts to do the thing that can be done instead of regretting for the past.
D. Barbara McClintock was generally accepted many years before she won the Nobel Prize.
4. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "let up"?
A. continue  
B. make less effort
C. make great effort  
D. stop
5. We can learn from the last paragraph that it is________that makes our life meaningful.
A. love of gardening
B. love of drawing pictures with the crayon of a six-year-old child
C. love of life
D. love of beautiful rainbow

     When I started my career in management, I was really green, but I always tried to stay positive on
the job.I was working for a new company that was having a difficult time with its customers.Actually,
at one point my General Manager told me he liked me and suggested I should start looking for a new
job as we were about to lose our only order.Every day we faced people leaving the company, customers
complaining, and upper management preparing to close the place.
     One night, I went home thinking about the problems.My wife told me to forget about work and see
a movie.We went and saw Slumdog Millionaire.Jamal, an eighteen-year-old  Indian young man, is
from a poor family and becomes rich later.He tries his best to change his position.I realized what we
needed to do was to correct the situation.
     The next day I called my customers to have a talk.I promised to do my best to solve the problems
if they would give us some time.As a result, we were given one month to turn the situation around.This
was our only chance to correct the situation.To achieve this, I worked day and night with my team.I
can remember working from 6 a. m.and not going home until 2 a. m.the next day.
     To make a long story short, we succeeded in solving all of the problems and at the same time
increased our productivity (生产率). The customers and management were very happy, and I knew
at that moment we had saved our jobs.Actually things went so well that we ended up having our pay
doubled.
    Through this experience I understand that you can achieve what you desire as long as you work at
it and stay positive.
