If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or
volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would 1 : surfing(冲浪运动) . But isn"t that a
boy thing? Some people 2 Most certainly not.
I started surfing about five years ago and 3 in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding
that first 4 was the best feeling I had ever experienced.
When I try to 5 surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my 6 , there"s
nothing like it. It involves (牵涉) body, 7 , and soul. There"s sand between my toes and cool,
salt water all 8 the US. The feeling I get when I"m surfing across that 9 , becoming one with
the 10 is like I"m weightless.
The one thing I can 11 from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge (挑战). You can
never be the "best surfer" because the ocean 12 an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can
ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are
very aggressive(活跃有力的) and 13 . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it 14
from any other sport.
I"ve 15 to tell every girl I know to do something that people don"t think girls can do. It"s part of
being human to advance to new 16 . So shouldn"t it be expected that girls should step up and
start 17 the limits of things boys and men used to dominate(主宰) ?
There"re women 18
side by side with the President of our country, so why not stand side by side with the boys 19 the
football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to 20 , and they will.

| What do you know about the sea? You may have seen it. Some of us have swum or bathed in it. It looks beautiful on a fine sunny day and it can be very rough when there is a strong wind. What other things do we do about it? Of course, the sea is very large. In the world there is more sea than land. The sea covers three quarters of the earth. The sea is also very deep in some places. It is not deep everywhere; some parts of it are very great. At one spot, near Japan the sea is nearly 11kilometres deep just think of it, the highest mountain in the world is only 9 kilometres high! If you have swum in the sea, you know that the water is salty. Rivers carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are more salty than other parts. Do you know the Dead Sea in Arabia? It is very salty. Swimmers cannot sink in it! Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea. It is a strange sea. In most parts of the sea, there are a lot of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. No sunlight can reach the depth of the sea. So it is completely dark. Strange fishes live there. Some are blind. Some have their own lights. Some have great jaws（嘴巴）.With their great jaws, they swallow fish larger than themselves. The sea can be very cold. Deep sea divers know this well. At the top the water may be warm. Then as the divers go down, the sea becomes colder and colder. Many scientists are now making a study of animal and plant life in the sea. They hope to find new resources for mankind. | |||

| You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it"s likely you will bum out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life. The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits (特点 ;特征) of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment(信奉; 信仰) to live by. An example of some being values are: kind ,loving, generous , inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose. Your having values are, the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship , achievement , support , being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life. When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattem is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate (沉思 ) ,or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be this is the key to personal power. When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce (加强) your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you. | |||
| 1. The main purpose of this passage is to . | |||
| A. persuade the readers to make a commitment B. explain to the readers what personal values are C.inform the readers how to be truly happy D. instruct the readers how to make wise choices | |||
| 2. According to the text, living by your being values, you would . | |||
| A. gain a lot of power B. form positive personality C. seek all human virtues D. fill your own needs | |||
| 3.The underlined word "void" in paragraph I means " ." | |||
| A. a feeling of emptiness B. an absence of one"s mind C. a break of continuity D. a state of confusion | |||
| 4. What can be inferred from the text? | |||
| A. Having values are better than being values; B. A calm person does not choose to complain. C.The way other people think of you decides who you are. D. A responsible person does not care about financial security. | |||
| We Are What We Do When was the last time you gave blood? Or donated money to charity(慈善机构) ? Or, in fact, did anything; to benefit the world? And why, in this age of communication, are we still so isolated(孤立) from each other? More than 2 million elderly people are expected to be living alone, with no family, by the end of the next ten years. It does not have to cost a fortune to make a real difference. The We Are What We Do organization has launched a book-Change the World for a Fiver. Inside are 50 simple things you can do to help mankind. They include recycling books, using energy saving light bulbs (灯炮) and " reverse haggling" in charity shops-paying more than the asking price. They may seem small but they are by no means in significant(无意义的). Metro has joined forces with We Are What We Do, a branch of the Community Links charity. From Monday we will be asking readers to complete an action each day and report how successful and fulfilling it was. Community Links founder David Robinson said, "We are delighted to be working with Metro. With around 2 million Metro readers, we hope that 2 million of you are inspired to act and will help to bring this exciting vision(梦想) to life." The $ 5 book is on sale at Waterstones, WHSmith, Sainsbury"s, Ottakers, Borders and online at Amazon. Co. uk. For more information log on (登录) to www. wearewhatwedo. org.
