阅读理解     We"ve all met with something that slows us down, for example, the bump(颠簸)in the road,the
setback. You just have to keep in mind that a setback is only temporary and greater things lie ahead.
Therefore, keep moving forward, developing what you have, since you"ve already built a solid
foundation on which you can rely.
     It is easy just to quit,give up and ignore the hard work you have put into something. But we believe
in the "two steps forward, one step back" philosophy (哲学). So how can you react when something
doesn"t turn out as you"ve expected it to be?
     First,be objective. Step back and look at the situation. Is your setback really that significant,or will
it just require a little extra effort? Then, plan your next move. You can ask for help. Don"t be afraid or
ashamed to do this. Frequently, people are more than willing to give you support and advice.You don"t
have to be perfect; after all, nobody else is. Next, bounce back. Reevaluate the goals you have set for
yourself at the beginning and retool(改组) them as necessary. Goals should be realistic and specific,
but that doesn"t mean they can"t be flexible. Instead of looking at your project as a disaster or a failure,
view it with success. Concentrate on how great it will feel after it is finally done, after you have put your
all into it. Instead of focusing on a possible unsatisfactory performance one single time, take a moment
to sit back and reward yourself for all that you have accomplished.
     Above all,don"t live with regrets. Success is never easy. It remains up to you whether you will give
up, or fight through the tough battles to earn whatever you want. Keep reaching for your goals and you
will achieve them. One small setback is nothing if you really want something and are willing to work for
it.

    when meeting with a setback.

A. we are supposed to quit and ignore the hard work
B. we"d better think it over before making a decision

D. we are expected to look at things in an allround way

A. a performance

阅读理解     根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项。
     Shoppers who carefully plan their visit to the grocery store can save money on their grocery bills.
    1   
     Shoppers should visit the grocery store on a full stomach by scheduling their trip immediately after
a large meal. If that"s not possible, they should find something healthy to eat while preparing a grocery list.   2  
     Although having a list and sticking to it is the most important  factor  in  saving  money, shoppers  
must prepare lists wisely in order to save.   3   Many special buys are announced through the local
newspapers, so buying the "grocery issue"is worth the investment(投资). However, it"s important to
remember that many newer, more expensive products first offered through coupons may not yield enough
savings for shoppers to give up the product they usually buy.
        4    Once at the store, the shopper who wants to save money  should  follow  a  few  more  rules.
The shopper should not stay longer than necessary,because bills go up each minute the shopper is in the
store. So, setting a time limit and a cost limit can hold down the bill.    5   If the grocery list is a short one,
some shoppers choose to use the small handheld basket instead of the roomy grocery cart.

A. A carefully planned list should include in season    produce and any items on sale or discounted
     through  coupons (优惠券).
B. Of course, the shopper should stick strictly to the    shopping list and resist the temptation to buy
     additional items.
C. People who are full are less tired and more likely to    buy what they want.
D. Now that the shopper has completed the grocery list,it"s time to leave for the store.
E. You should keep your shopping list carefully in case     you can exchange it for coupons.
F. Most shoppers are less persuaded to buy extra goods     when they are not hungry.
G. Shopping when not hungry, sticking to a grocery list,and following a few simple rules will cut
     down the grocery bill.

阅读理解     Xiangzi - Lucky, in English - is appropriately named. His owner Qiu Hong, a sports marketer,lets the
dog enjoy two daily walks,a collection of imported American toys, $300 worth of monthly food and treats and his own sofa in her high-rise apartment. When Ms. Qiu feels bored, she takes Xiangzi out for a long
run in her car.
     In a sense, Xiangzi is not just a dog, but a social phenomenon - and, perhaps, a marker of how quickly the Chinese nation is booming through its transformation from poor farmer to first-world citizen.Twenty
years ago,there were hardly any dogs in Beijing, but now there"re 900,000 registered dogs with countless
thousands of others unlicensed. How this came to be is, in some ways, the story of modern China as well.
"People used to be focused on improving their own lives, and they weren"t really acquainted with raising
dogs," said Ms. Qiu. "But with the improvement in the economy, people"s outlooks (观念) have
changed."     
     Having a dog can be a way to relieve the stress in people"s lives, but mostly Beijing dogs have, as in the West, become objects of affection - even devotion - by their owners. It"s easy to find dog-treat stores,
dog Web sites, dog social networks, dog swimming pools - even, for a time recently, a bring-your-dog
cinema and a bring-your-dog bar on Beijing"s downtown nightclub row.
     The doglike devotion of pet owners here seems to have softened the city government heart. In 1994,
Beijing officials relaxed their no-dog policy to "severely restrict" dogs. In 2003,it was changed again to
allow anyone to own a dog, but to limit city dogs to no more than 35 centimeters in height. And nowadays the restriction seems to be loosely carried out.
     As for sti-fried Pekingese (京叭狗) - well, that dog,too, may have seen its day. A formal suggestion
to ban the eating of dogs has been made by a law professor named Chang Jiwen, who considered himself "not so much a dog lover as a China lover". "With China developing so quickly, more people should know how to treat animals properly," he said in 3 telephone interview.1. What"s the main idea of the first paragraph? A.Xiang Zi is a clever dog.
B. Xiangzi lives a happy life.
C. Qiu Hong has a lot of money.
D. Qiu Hong is very busy. 2. Paragraph Four mainly shows that Beijingers_____. A.Iive under too much pressure
B.Iove dogs evry much
C.are good at making money
D.have modernized their city3.Judging from the article,we can know that______.A.Pet owners can be as devoted as the dog    
B.there were no dogs in Beijing before 2003
C.Beijing strictly bans dogs above 35cm high in practice  
D.Chang Jiwen spoke for dog lovers only4.Which is NOT mentioned in the article?A.China"s economical development.    
B.The psychological problems in modern society.
C.People"s attitude to wards animals.    
D.The problems caused by dog keeping.5.Which can be the best title of the article?A.Chinese Dogs Are Lucky
B.Dogs Help Humans Live Better
C.Dogs Reflect China"s Rise
D.Dogs Enjoy More Freedom In Beijing

 阅读理解     For most families, a long car journey is the bane of any trip. But for the Zapps, their 83-year-old
vehicle has been a home for the past 11 years, as the couple travel around the world on a never ending trip of a lifetime, covering 142,000 miles over four continents.

six.They became, over the years and while on the road, parents to four children, Pampa (eight), Tehue

阅读理解     Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a booklover or merely go there
to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden
shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings.
     The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust_jacket is irresistible, although this method of
selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book.
     You soon become interested in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize
you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment-without
buying a book, of course.
     This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop.
There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop.
You can wander round such places to your heart"s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach
you with the inevitable greeting: "Can I help you, sir?" You needn"t buy anything you don"t want.In a
bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, and only
then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but
when he has led you there, the assistant should retire discreetly (谨慎地) and look as if he is not
interested in selling a single book.
     You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to
enter the shop looking for a book on, say ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest
bestselling novel and perhaps a book about brassrubbing-something which had only slightly interested
you up till then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of
the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it.This sort of thing can be very
dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from
section to section.1. The underlined phrase "dust jacket" means ________.A. a kind of clothes  
B. a paper cover of a book
C. a dusty book    
D. a title of a book2. You may spend too much time in a bookshop because________.A. the dust jackets are very attractive
B. you start reading one of the books
C. it is raining outside
D. you have to make sure you won"t buy a dull book as a present3. In a good bookshop________.A. all the books there are interesting
B. the assistant greets you in a warm way
C. your heart is satisfied
D. you feel that you are in a music shop4. The best title for this passage may be________.A. The Attraction of Bookshops
B. How to Spend Your Time
C. Bookshops and Their Assistants
D. How to Select Books
