Let me tell you about five of the enemies we face from within.The first enemy that you’ve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference.What a tragic disease this is! “Ho-hum,let it slide. I’ll just drift along.” Here’s one problem with drifting:you can’t drift your way to the top of the mountain.
The second enemy we face is indecision(优柔寡断). Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise.It will steal your chances for a better future.Take a sword to this enemy.
The third enemy inside is doubt.Sure,there’s room for healthy skepticism.You can’t believe everything.But you also can’t let doubt take over.Many people doubt the past, doubt the future,doubt each other,doubt the government,doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. , they doubt themselves.I’m telling you,doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success.It will empty both your bank account and your heart.Doubt is all enemy.Get rid of it.
The fourth enemy within is worry.We’ve all got to worry some.Just don’t let it conquer you.Instead, let it alarm you.Worry can be useful.If you step off the curb (路边) in New York City and a taxi is coming,you’ve got to worry.But you can’t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner.Here’s what you’ve got to do with your worries:drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you,you’ve got to get it.Whatever is pushing on you, you’ve got to push back.
The fifth enemy is overcaution. It is the timid (胆小的) approach to life.Timidity is not a virtue;it’s an illness.If you let it go,it’ll conquer you.Timid people don’t get promoted.They don’t advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace.You’ve got to avoid overcaution.

The people who built the pyramids made lots of secret doors and rooms to stop robbers from finding the treasures inside. However, there always have been some smart thieves in history. Now, almost all of Egypt’s pyramids have been robbed, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which is the largest pyramid in the world. It is the only one of the ancient wonders of the world that is still standing.
In AD 820, an Arab king named Abdullah AL Manum got a group of workers to dig their way into the Great Pyramid and have a look. Inside the pyramid, they found three rooms --- the Queen’s Chamber, the Grand Gallery and the King’s Chamber. But to their surprise, the men didn’t find the treasures they wanted. The Queen’s and King’s Chambers were both empty! Where were the King’s mummy and his treasures? Had someone already taken them away? The huge stone doors at the pyramid’s entrance were still closed when AL Manum’s men went inside. How had the thieves got in and out?
Since then, many people have gone inside the Great Pyramid to have a look or to try to take things. But still, no other chambers or walkways have been found.
In 2002, an American team made the most recent visit to the Great Pyramid. Scientists sent a robot into the pyramid, but they only found a mysterious locked stone door.

These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the extreme tension and nervousness. Contrary to people’s common belief that poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety plays a role in students’ achieving low grades. Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.
Special university advising courses try to help students. In these courses, advisors try to help students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is high, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tensions. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. Students are trained to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work at ease. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.
An expert at the University of California explains, " With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after taking our program. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, the improvement is very great. "
小题1:To "blank out" is probably______.
A.to be like a blanket | B.to be sure of an answer |
C.to be unable to think clearly | D.to show knowledge to the teacher |
A.poor sleeping habit | B.laziness |
C.test anxiety | D.inability to form good study habits |
A.an excuse for laziness | B.the result of poor study habits |
C.a real problem | D.something that cannot be changed |
A.all students could overcome the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety program |
B.almost all students felt less stress after taking a University of California advising course |
C.students found it difficult to improve even though they had taken a special test anxiety course |
D.students found it easy to relax as soon as they entered a University of California advising course |
·Before you apply
1. Work hard to get good grades. Don’t sweat about one bad grade, but always strive(力求)to do your best.
2. Get involved, and stay involved, in extracurricular(课外的)activities. Sports, clubs, drama, bands and orchestras-these often count toward a student’s overall scholarship application evaluation. The same goes for paid (or unpaid) work experience.
3. Begin your scholarship research early-by your sophomore(大学二年级)or junior year of high school, if possible. Make special note of application deadlines, as they can vary from late summer to late spring.
4. Apply for as many scholarships as you are eligible(符合条件的)for-several smaller scholarships can add up to a lot of money.
·During the application process
1. Read the supplementary materials that come with scholarship application forms to better understand the program’s focus (community service, subject interest). Try to answer the questions with the focus area in mind.
2. Answer questions as they are asked. Don’t got off topic.
3. If there is a financial component to the application, make sure you get accurate and complete information from all appropriate sources to ensure your eligibility.
4. Take your time. Write down everything you can think of for each question, then set the application aside for a day so you can look everything over again before you send it off.
5. Don’t wait until the last minute to complete your application, especially if you are applying online. Computer systems can get clogged(阻塞的)with the large volume of applicants hoping to submit their qualifications during the last few days and hours before a deadline.
6. If a third party has to complete part of your application, such as providing a letter of recommendation, make sure you ask them early on and remind them as often as necessary to ensure they provide you with the necessary materials.
7. Last but not least, review your application with your parents to make sure you haven’t left out any important details.
Good luck to the students applying for the 2013 scholarship programs!

Hare, a professor of zoology at the University of Maniloha in Winnipeg, and his team managed to record squirrels" alarm calls.The researchers studied the sounds and then played them back to 60 wild squirrels, which the scientists approached individually with a video recorder to capture(抓拍)their reponses.Some squirrels lifted their heads up and became.Alert(警惕的).Creatures that were more frightened simply ran for their lives and dived into caves.
"In effect then, whistles that mix with chucks say "there"s an enemy of average threat that"s here", and whistles without chucks say "there"s an enemy of seemingly average threat around here somewhere", while pure chirps say, "I"m hiding here because there"s an immediate danger." " Hare told.Discovery News.
Hare and some other researchers believe such sounds arc part of an advanced language that develops just as all other communication systems.
Although squirrels risk their lives when they call out to warn others of threats, other squirrels might admire this behaviour, thus increasingly the caller’s social status, like humans who look up to heroes. Hare added that other animals, such as birds, probably understand at least some squirrel language, since they also may benefit from the alarm calls.
In fact, another Canadian study found that deep-voiced, black-capped chickadees have their own language too.According to certain research, there are a lot of tidings in chickadees" calls, such as directing fellows" activities, keeping in contact between mates, and raising alarms.
While chickadees and other birds are often welcomed into gardens by homeowners, squirrels are frequently viewed as pests(害兽). Hare wishes a greater understanding of the complex social lives and communication systems of squirrels will provide “hope that humans will gain a greater appreciation and stop doing harm to these animals”.
小题1:The text mainly talks about
A.the study on the language of squirrels |

C.the calling for the protection of squirrels |
D.the ways for squirrels to escape from their enemies |
A.whistles with chucks | B.pure chirps |
C.whistles without chucks | D.repeated chucks |
A.difficulties | B.poises | C.messages | D.languages |
A.Squirrels communicate with cach other as humans do. |
B.Some squirrels understand the recorded alarm calls. |
C.Other animals also well understand the language of squirrels. |
D.Birds such as chickadees don’t have their own language. |
If there were a man on the moon—instead of mountains and valleys that just look like the face of a man—what would he be like?
He would not be like anyone you know. He would not be like anyone anybody knows.
If the man on the moon were bothered by too much heat or cold the way Earth people are, he could not stay on the moon.
The moon becomes very, very hot. It becomes as hot as boiling water. And the moon becomes very, very cold. It becomes colder than ice.
Whatever part of the moon the sun shines on is hot and bright. The rest of the moon is cold and dark.
If the man on the moon had to breathe to stay alive, he couldn’t live on the moon because there’s no air there. He’d have to carry an oxygen tank, as astronauts do. There’s no food on the moon, either. Nothing grows—not even weeds(grass).
If the man on the moon liked to climb mountains, he would be very happy. There are many high places there, such as the raised land around the holes, or craters(火山口), of the moon. Some of these rims are as tall as Earth’s highest mountains.
But if the man on the moon liked to swim, he would be unhappy. There is no water on the moon—just dust and rock.
When you think of what it’s like on the moon, you may wonder why it interests our scientists. One reason is that the moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to.
Going back and forth between the moon and Earth, astronauts will get a lot of practice in space travel. Things learned on moon trips will be of great help to astronauts who later take long, long trips to some of the planets.
Scientists are also interested in the moon because it has no air. The air that surrounds Earth cuts down the view of the scientists who look at the stars through telescopes. A telescope on the moon would give them a clearer, closer view of the stars.(words: 411)
小题1:What is the reason why our scientists are interested in the moon.?
A.The moon is beautiful. |
B.The moon is different from the earth. |
C.The moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor—it is the easiest place in space to get to. |
D.The moon is the easiest place in space to get to and it has no air, unlike Earth. |
A.ball | B.hill | C.round edge | D.height |
A.We can learn much from research on the Moon. |
B.There may be human beings on the moon. |
C.If there were a man on the Moon, there would be many similarities between the man on the Moon and on the Earth. |
D.A telescope on the Moon would help scientists have a clearer, closer sight of the stars. |
