I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time,” I said. “My time is eternity(永恒),” God smiled, “What questions do you have（1）_________for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered, “That they (2)__________ bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children（3）_________. That they lost their health to make money… and then lost their money to restore their (4)__________. Then by thinking anxiously （5）__________ the future, they forget the (6)___________, so that they live in neither the present nor future. That they live as if they will never die, and die （7）__________ they had never lived.” God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked, “(8)__________ a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to(9) ___________?” He answered, “To learn they （10）__________make anyone love them. All they can do is to let themselves love（11）____________. To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness. To learn that it only（12）___________ a few seconds to open profound（深的） wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal （13）__________. To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is the one who need the （14）___________. To learn that there are people who love them（15）____________, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their(16)___________. To learn that two people can look at the same thing and （17）___________ it differently. To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one（18）____________, but they must also forgive themselves.”
“Thank you for your（19）___________,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like（20）_____________ to know?” God smiled and said, “Just to know that I am always here.”

“No, honey. We’ll wait until it 35 down a bit,” Mom replied.

“This morning？When did I say we could run through the rain and not get 38 ？”
“Don’t you remember？When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said,‘If God can get us 39 this, he can get us through anything！’”
The entire crowd became dead silent. I 40 you couldn’t hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. Mom 41 and thought for a moment about what she would say.

Attitude is an internal(内在的) state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual(个人). Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.
The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas-all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired(获得) throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.
Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.
Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single events, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them. And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification(修正) of attitudes.
小题1:According to the passage, attitudes .| A．come from different situations in one’s life | | B．are largely affected by one’s behavior | | C．remain unchanged in one’s daily life | | D．could be chosen according to one’s will |
小题2:The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show .| A．people often make mistakes when they are not noticed | | B．people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deeds | | C．particulars of a situation may influence an individual’s action | | D．an individual may change his or her attitude fairly easily |
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE about the learning of attitudes?| A．Attitudes are only learned through one’s success. | | B．Attitudes learned in danger will last no more. | | C．Copying others’ behavior is not a good idea. | | D．Attitudes can be learned from one’s parents. |
小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?| A．Differences of Attitudes. | B．Nature(本质) of Attitude. | | C．Choices of Attitudes. | D．Changes of Attitude. |

Even when you’re extremely busy, you aren’t using your time with 100% efficiency. There are gaps in everyone’s schedule where they aren’t doing anything important. Even if your schedule has no gaps, there is probably lots of time when you aren’t working as fast or as effectively as you possibly could.
Why aren’t you completely efficient? It’s because time isn’t the limiting factor. If it were the limiting factor, people could work non-stop without breaks or any unproductive distractions (消遣). Instead, people, even those who are highly productive, need to take breaks, occasionally procrastinate (拖延) and slow down on tasks throughout the day.
The real and most important limiting factor for productivity is your energy levels to pay attention. Energy levels limit your productivity because when you’re tired, you can have enough time and still not get everything done. Your attention ability is also limited, because even if there are a million things that need to be done, you can only focus on one or two at a time.
You might not be able to insert another 4-5 hours into your schedule without making some sacrifices. But even extremely busy people can add an hour or two into their schedule without cancelling anything. The reason why it’s hard to “find time” isn’t a lack of time. It’s because you don’t have enough energy left to focus on something else that needs to fit into your day.
I first suspected time wasn’t the real problem during an extremely busy period in my life over a year ago. I was extremely busy, but at that time I still exercised regularly. I had daily to-do lists with over twenty items, and I still found time to exercise. However, after a few weeks off, due to illness, I stopped exercising. I was not busy by any standards, in fact, my schedule was incredibly light. Despite this free time, I found it hard to find time to exercise. It seemed to get pushed later and later into my schedule until it was gone. How can I explain this odd experience? I believe you have known it.
小题1:If someone can’t work with 100% efficiency, the most important limiting factor is ________.| A．a schedule without gaps | B．breaks and distractions | | C．the limited time | D．the limited energy |
小题2:According to Paragraph 4, everyone, including the extremely busy people, can ________.| A．work without any rest | | B．focus on many things at a time | | C．find some more time in a day | | D．do some exercise regularly |
小题3:The writer gives the example of himself in the last paragraph in order to ________.| A．prove what the real limiting factor is | | B．show us how busily he needs to work | | C．explain how important a healthy body is | | D．tell us what an odd experience he has |
小题4:What is the best title of the passage?| A．Do You Really Lack Time? | | B．How Can You Work Efficiently? | | C．What Makes Your Energy Limited? | | D．When Should You Do Exercise? |

Bad behavior is something that most people don’t want to tolerate. However, we have had to tolerate it more and more with each passing year. There seems to be no concern for other people’s feelings; nor do we seem to care about other people’s property. We live in an age where saying what is on our minds has priority over any harm that it might do.
There are ways to deal with bad behavior in modern times, though. Too many of us let bad behavior go because we don’t want to rock the boat. This is the time that you should rock the boat and rock it hard. Let people know that you expect it to change. That is the key to dealing with bad behavior. If it continues, take the proper action for the situation you are in. If you have developed the habit of bad behavior, take a hard look at it and then change it. You can’t expect others to behave well if you aren’t willing to look at your own bad behavior and change it.
If you don’t have control over anything in a situation, just walk away from it and move on to something that you do have control over. You needn’t feel ashamed of that. Besides, you must stand firm in what you believe. You can’t control what other people do, but you can control what you do about it. You can’t go wrong if you stand firm in what you believe. Understanding your responsibility is also important. Don’t try to take on the responsibility for other people’s behavior. Take care of what you have to and do it in the way you know it should be done. The rest will take care of itself.
Bad behavior is on the rise with more and more people behaving badly without having to pay any consequences. Worry about how you behave rather than how others behave. Pretty soon, it just may catch on.
小题1:It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that _____________.| A．bad behavior is common today | | B．bad behavior is sure to hurt people deeply | | C．people behave badly because of carelessness | | D．people are more understanding than before |
小题2:When dealing with people’s bad behavior, you are advised to ____________.| A．fight it bravely whenever it happens | | B．ignore it if it is beyond your control | | C．let it go to avoid trouble | | D．make people feel ashamed of their bad behavior |
小题3:Why do many people behave badly according to the passage?| A．Because bad behavior is often ignored. | | B．Because people are often influenced by others. | | C．Because people aren’t punished for their bad behavior. | | D．Because people haven’t realized its consequences. |
