They introduced the young musician---Mr Patrick Henry Hughes. He was rolled onto the stage in his wheelchair and began to play the piano. His fingers danced across the keys as he made beautiful music.
About ten minutes into Patrick’s performance, someone came on the stage and said, “I’d like to share a seven-minute video about Patrick Hughes.” Then the lights were turned down.
Patrick Henry Hughes was born with no eyes and a tightening of the joints(关节), which left him disabled for life. However, he was fitted with artificial eyes and placed in a wheelchair. Before his first birthday, he discovered the piano. His mom said, “I could hit any note on the piano, and within one or two tries, he’d get it.” By his second birthday, he was playing records people asked for. His father was ecstatic. “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”
Today, Patrick is a junior. His father attends classes with him and he’s made nearly all A’s. He’s also a part of a 214-member marching band(游乐乐队). He’s a blind, wheelchair-bound trumpet player; he and his father do it together. In order to attend Patrick’s classes and every band practice, his father works the night shift(夜班) at United Parcel Service. Patrick says, “My dad’s my hero.”
On stage, between songs, Patrick talked to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was, “God made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL! He gave me musical gifts and the great opportunity to meet new people.”
When his performance was over, the crowd rose to their feet and cheered for over five minutes.
小题1:The underlined word “ecstatic” could be replaced by “_________”.
| A．relaxed | B．disappointed | C．anxious | D．delighted |
| A．He taught Patrick to play the piano. |
| B．He does part-time jobs in the daytime. |

| D．work hard to achieve great success |
答案
小题1:D
小题2:C
小题3:D
小题4:B
解析
试题分析：文章介绍了Mr Patrick Henry Hughes一个年轻有为的音乐家的励志故事，他从小就是一个盲人，并且身体还是残疾的，只能呆在轮椅上，但他有音乐的天赋，而且从小就表现出了这种才能，他的父亲从小也给了他很大的勇气，也和他一起参加了学习并取得了优异的成绩。为了让他去参加学习班和乐队的练习，他的父亲在夜场工作去支持他。他的学习也取得了好的成绩。
小题1:D词义推测题。His father was ecstatic. “We might not play baseball, but we can play music together.”句意为:他的父亲是------，我们也许不能打棒球，但我们可以一起弹奏音乐。四个形容词的词义分别为：relaxed adj 放松的；disappointed adj失望的； anxious adj 焦急的，焦虑的；delighted adj高兴的，从他父亲的话中可知应是高兴的。故答案应为D。
小题2:C细节理解题。Today, Patrick is a junior. His father attends classes with him and he’s made nearly all A’s.今天，Patrick是一个低年级的学生，他的父亲也参加了班里的学习，课程得到的几乎全是A。所以由此可知答案应为C。他们是一起学习的，所以A是错误的；In order to attend Patrick’s classes and every band practice, his father works the night shift(夜班) at United Parcel Service.为了参加Patrick 的班级学习，他的你你亲作夜班工作，故B是错误的；C选项文中没有表述。
小题3:D细节理解题。Patrick says, “My dad’s my hero.”Patrick说，我的父亲是我的英雄。从此句中可知在他的心目中他的父亲是很伟大的，所以他应该是很尊重他的父亲的，故答案应为D。
小题4:B中心理解题。On stage, between songs, Patrick talked to the audience about his life and about how blessed he was, “God made me blind and unable to walk. BIG DEAL! He gave me musical gifts and the great opportunity to meet new people.”文中的倒数第二自然段点明了主题，在舞台上，Patrick向观众讲述了他的生活，他是多么的幸福，上帝让我失去了视力，什么也看不见也不能走路，但他也是很公平的，他给了我音乐的天赋和去见到其他人的机会，所以Patrick是在说明，上帝是公平的，我们要珍惜眼前所拥有的东西，感谢我们所拥有的东西。

It is evident that successful people take initiative (主动性). When they find something needs to be done, they just do it instead of waiting. They believe that responsibility is taken, not given. They weigh immediately what has to be done and then do it with pleasure, thus strengthening their reputation.
Successful people are enthusiastic about the things they do, especially when they believe in what they are doing. They are motivated by their own satisfaction and the joy they get from doing their work. They work hard even when no one is watching and they throw themselves into their work.
They do not fear failure. Failures and disappointments in life are unavoidable. It is failure that teaches us much more than success. Successful people pick themselves up after a fall and try again with more determination and commitment and learn from each failure. They associate with those they can learn from and enjoy the company of those who appreciate their achievement.
Having good IQ often gets a person what he wants but it’s really the EQ that keeps him there and helps him enjoy a high reputation. Successful people are polite to everyone and treat others with respect. By giving respect to others, they command respect for themselves.
Another important quality of successful persons is that they never complain. It’s better to praise others and win favor with them. So instead of complaining about a situation, successful people always try to solve it.
To put it shortly, take initiative and be enthusiastic about them. Do not be afraid to fail, but get up and start again. When you do so, success will be just around the corner.

It is normal and can even be helpful to experience fear sometimes. In dangerous situations, fear can keep our bodies alert (警醒的) so that we can act quickly to protect ourselves.
But for some people, fear develops into a “phobia”, which is a strong and unreasonable fear of something. For example, the majority of us feel a little scared when looking down from a tall building. But people with height phobia may have trouble breathing, feel dizzy or turn down a great job just because the company is on the 20th floor.
Phobias can prevent you from living a normal life. “People with spider phobia would stay out of their home or dormitory room for days if they thought a spider was present,” Katherina Hauner, a researcher at Northwestern University, US, told ABC news. This is why scientists have been trying to find a cure for this disease.
Since fear comes from experience --- from what we are told, what we see others experience and what happens to us --- some scientists think if they can “rewrite” these unpleasant memories, they might be able to help people overcome their phobias.
In a study by Hauner and other scientists, participants with spider phobia were asked to first touch a spider with a paintbrush. Seeing that it was not actually dangerous, they then tried touching it while wearing a glove. Finally, they could hold it with their hands.
Certain medicine has also been found to be helpful. Back in 2010, researchers at the University of Hiroshima, Japan, injected (注射) a special medicine into a fish --- who was afraid of light --- to turn off the fear center in its brain. From then on, the fish no longer feared light.
While the search for solutions to phobias is making great progress, it’s an open question whether getting rid of fear is good. Some people want to use these methods to make soldiers fight harder in wars by taking away their sense of fear. Dave Smithson of the charity Anxiety UK thinks that’s a bad idea. “It’s fear that prevents us from doing crazy things,” he says. “There’s a name for people who don’t have fear of consequences: psychopaths (精神变态者).

Sometimes we shape these identities in relationships or jobs, and when we change, those areas of our life become . Usually, if we take the time to look into the changing surface of things, we will find that a change is taking place us. For example, we may go through one whole part of our lives creating a protective shell around ourselves we need it in defense of ourselves. One day, , we may find ourselves feeling limited and bored, wanting to move outside the we used to need; the new part of ourselves cannot be born within the of the shell our old self needed.
We may feel a strange of excitement and sadness as we say goodbye to a part of ourselves that is and make way for a whole new identity to in its place. We may find inspiration in working and studying when we think of the image of an animal who sheds (蜕毛；蜕皮) in order to way for new skin, fur, or feathers to . For example, keeping a piece of snake skin, or some other symbols of change, can us that death and rebirth are simply nature’s way of growing. We can give in to this process, letting go of our past self with great love and gratitude, and the new with an open mind and heart, ready for our next stage of life.

When I was a kid in New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine. Most stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not desperate steeplechases(障碍赛跑) they have become today. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek.
The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly. It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there was no housework that couldn’t wait until Monday. Sunday was, indeed, different from the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else.
Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it’s surprising to find that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association. In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone else’s home on Sunday. But now the question is, “What do you plan to DO this Sunday?” The answer can range from going to the mall, to participating in a road race, to Montreal for lunch. If one were to respond, “I’m making a Sunday visit to family,” such an answer would feel strange, which sounds like an echo from another era.
I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships. Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state’s powerfully rural feature still keeps at least remnants(残余部分) of the moral of yesterday’s America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries(反复无常的情况) and a challenging environment.
小题1:The writer’s general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when＿＿.
| A．everyone was paying a visit to some relatives far away |
| B．everyone seemed to be free for others |
| C．Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house |
| D．nearly every adult would go to church and children weren’t at school |
| A．people nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday |
| B．such answers are rarely heard in our modern society |
| C．people in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday |
| D．visiting someone on Sunday was routine in the past |
| A．people in Maine suffer more from economic depression and the changed environment |
| B．people in Maine have abandoned their tradition and lived an absolutely new life |
| C．land in Maine is short, thus the relationship between people is tense |
| D．people in Maine tend to help each other out of necessity |
| A．Doing many activities on Sunday is beneficial. |
| B．We should often travel a long distance to visit some friends and relatives. |
| C．Nowadays, Sunday has almost lost its association as a day of rest. |
| D．We should abandon some old tradition. |
