题型:不详难度:来源:
Dreaming is a natural part of who we are. We explore our dreams and develop personal dreams. We even like to dream BIG!
For the most part our dreams and wishes focus on the end result. We see ourselves in love, married, driving a great car, on vacation, with tons of money, in a great career, etc. Dreaming about the end result is just fantasizing and wishing. Wishing relies on some magical force to make our dreams turn into reality, and we become unhappy as we’re not living(实现) our dreams.
So how can we make our dreams come true? That is a question we all often struggle with. Even though we struggle with the answer, the answer is not that clear. We make our dreams come true with the action we take.
In my opinion, if you dream about being in good health, then change your dream to see yourself working out and eating right day by day. See the beginning of the dream and let the dream build day by day with all the action that gets you to the end dream of you being in good health.
If you want riches, then change the dream. Dream of yourself going to school, developing a career, working hard and taking the steps to arrive at the destination. If you want love, love the process. Love the dating process(过程). Love yourself and the journey to find love.
Make all your dreams include the beginning, middle and end. Then when you are doing the action instead of thinking to yourself, “This is a drag. I don’t like working out,” or if you are having any negative thoughts about doing the work it takes to create your visions(梦幻), realize then that every step of the way you are living your dream. You are living your dream because you made the action and journey part of your dream.
小题1:According to the writer, most of the people____.
A.pay more attention to developing their dreams
B.enjoy the process of their dreams
C.are always ignoring the process of living their dreams
D.probably dream of making much more money easily
小题2:In order to live our dreams, we must____.
A.struggle with dreams day and night.
B.have great wishes and thoughts.

D.take action or steps.

A.you’d better dream a sweet dream first.
B.you must love the process of the journey.
C.you would rather begin with your diet and exercise.
D.you should have a good beginning first.
小题4: what can be inferred from the last paragraph?

Don’t talk to me; I’m busy with my iPhone
Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other. In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times. That’s not rudeness—people are just too busy to bother looking.
Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection, nor are they reading a book. New technology has replaced quiet habits. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book.
Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters(乘车上下班的人). Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000—yes, that’s 40,000—“apps” (programs downloaded for the iPhone) have been designed.
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers. One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone. You can then write in the “ steam” on your phone screen.
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be another choice. It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music—iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film. The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work. With all this entertainments, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train.
小题1:People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because they are busy ________.
A.playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films.
B.going to work
C.reading books
D.thinking private things
小题2:Those who like war games can download ________ to their iPhones.
A.Tube ExitsB.iShootC.ISteamD.iPod
小题3:The underlined word “occupied” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A.delightedB.busyC.controlledD.amused
小题4:The article tells us that ________.
A.London commuters are unfriendly to strangers
B.Apple has earned a lo of money from selling 40,000 iPhones
C.with all the new time-fillers, London commuters often forget to get off the train.
D.technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling time.

A little stream flowed down from a high mountain far, far away through many villages and forests, until it reached a desert. The stream then thought, “I’ve been through countless obstacles. I should have no problem crossing this desert!” But when she decided to start her journey, she found herself gradually disappearing into the mud and sand. After numerous tries, she found it was all in vain and was very upset. “Maybe it’s my destiny(命运) ! I’m not destined to reach the vast ocean in the legend, ” she murmured sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice came, saying, “If a breeze can cross the desert, so can a river.”
It was the voice of the desert. Unconvinced, the little stream replied, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I can’t.”
“That’s because you stick to what you are. If you’re willing to give it up, and let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach your destination,” said the desert in its deep voice.
The little stream had never heard of such a thing. “Give up what I am now and disappear into the breeze? No! No!” She could not accept this idea. After all, she had never experienced anything like it before. Wouldn’t it be self-destruction to give up what she was now?
“How do I know if this is true?” asked the little stream.
“The breeze can carry the vapor across the desert and release it as rain at an appropriate site. The rain will form a river again to continue its course,” answered the desert very patiently.
“Will I still be what I am now?” asked the little stream.
“Yes, and no. Whether you’re a river or invisible vapor, your inner nature never changes. You stick to the fact that you’re a river because you don’t know your inner nature,” answered the desert.
Deep down, the stream vaguely remembered that before she became a river, it was perhaps also the breeze that carried her halfway up a high mountain, where she turned into rain and fell onto the ground and became what she was now. Finally the little stream gathered her courage and rushed into the open arms of the breeze, which carried her to the next stage of her life.
Perhaps you can try asking yourself these questions: What is my inner nature? What is it that I cling (紧抓) to? And what is it that I really want?
小题1:When reaching the desert at first, the little stream was ________ to cross it.
A.upsetB.confidentC.pessimisticD.hesitant
小题2:The desert suggests that the stream ________ in order to cross the desert.
A.change its formB.disappear into the desert
C.stick to what it isD.turn to another stream for help
小题3:Finally the stream successfully crossed the desert with the help of ________.
A.the rainB.the desertC.the breezeD.the mountain
小题4:In the text the writer compares the stream to ________.
A.the TruthB.the courageC.the course of lifeD.the obstacles in life

The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people.We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well.I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine.I was amazed.The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “They are one skill away from great wealth.”
There is an old saying that goes, "Job means "just over broke(***)".And unfortunately, I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because schools do not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers "live within their means".They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn.
When I ask the classes I teach, “How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald"s?” almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come McDonald"s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald"s is excellent at business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.
小题1:The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that      
A.he is just one of the talented people
B.he is ready to help others
C.he has a sharp sense of hearing
D.he knows little about car repairing
小题2:The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by____   
A.spend more than they can afford
B.1ive within what they earn
C.1ive in their own circle
D.do in their own way
小题3:Why do talented people earn so little according to the author?
A.They don’t work hard enough.
B.They have no specialized skills.
C.They don"t make full use of their talents.
D.They lack financial intelligence.
小题4:The main purpose of the author is to tell us____      
A.how young people can find a satisfactory job
B.What schools should teach about finance
C.why so many talented people are poor
D.how McDonald"s makes much money
