举一反三
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.
1. According to the passage, the philosophy"two steps forward, one step back" means that ________
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
C. we should stop to think before taking further action
D. we are expected to look at things in an allround way
2. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to________.
A. a performance
B. a success
C. a goal
D. a project
3. When suffering a setback,the most important thing to do is________.
A. to keep moving forward to your goals
B. to depend on others" support and advice
C. to sit back and reward yourself for your success
D. to focus on a possible unsatisfactory performance
4. What is the passage mainly about?
A. How to avoid the bumps.
B. How to deal with the setbacks.
C. Different attitudes to the setbacks.
D. Different suggestions on your goals.
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.
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 mo
re 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.
B. Xiangzi lives a
happy life. C. Qiu Hong has a lot of money.
D. Qiu Hong is very busy.
B.Iove dogs evry much
C.are good at makin
g moneyD.have modernized their city
og 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 only
B.The psychological problems in modern society.
C.People"s attitude to wards animals.
D.The problems caused by dog keeping.
B.Dogs Help Humans Live Better
C.Dogs Reflect China"s Rise
D.Dogs Enjoy More Freedom In Beijing
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.
Herman and Candelaria Zapp, who got married to each other in 1996 and to their journey in 2000,
Set off from Patagonia, Argentina, heading for Alaska. They came back to Argentina in2004,but settled
there only for a couple of weeks, before deciding the open road is the only way to live. They have been
traveling ever since, with a trip around South America between 2005 and 2007, then central America, the U.S. and Canada until 2009.The car was shipped to Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea as
they traveled those countries and they are currently in the Philippines on a tour of South East Asia.
As a proof that life is possible in such a mobile style, the family of the two slowly grew to a number of
six.They became, over the years and while on the road, parents to four children, Pampa (eight), Tehue
(five), Paloma (three) and Wallaby (one). Remarkably, each of their kids has a different nationality.
"My grandfather knew that we wanted to travel and to never stop so he gave me the old Grdham-Paige car he used on his farm," Herman said. Each night the six Zapps either sleep in or around a tent set up next to their car, but more often than not they find a friendly local who will put them up for the night.The only
hard rule the couple have to stick by, is the 40mph speed limit the 83-year old car is restricted to.
Their trip is supported with the money coming from selling books they write about the places they visit.
B. Highlight.
C. Pleasure.
D. Discouragement.
B. Eight
C. Nine
D. Eleven
B. Central America
C. Australia
D. South East Asia
B. It can travel on water like a ship.
C. It can never run faster than 4Omph.
D. Herman"s grandfather bought it for them.
B. They let the kids stay where they were born.
C. They sent the kids to their motherland.
D. They keep the kids in a foreign country.
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.
B. a paper cover of a book
C. a dusty book
D. a title of a book
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 present
B. the assistant greets you in a warm way
C. your heart is satisfied
D. you feel that you are in a music shop
B. How to Spend Your Time
C. Bookshops and Their Assistants
D. How to Select Books
