On January 11, 2007, as students sat and listened, a very important guest speaker named Richard, spoke to the students in the lecture hall. He not only showed the potential（潜能）within young adults, but encouraged them to work hard at their lessons.
Richard was a young child when his mother died and his father walked out. He was forced into many different foster homes（寄养家庭）where he felt unhappy. He did not know that his life was taking a turn for the worst.
His uncle, after getting out of prison, got him into drugs and alcohol. His uncle taught him that his place in life was either to be in prison or die trying to be “a man.” His uncle’s teaching almost started affecting him until a very important person came into his life: a teacher. This teacher taught him there is a place in the world for everyone and it isn’t related to drugs.
Richard is now a Harvard University graduate and has a great and loving family. Why? He was taught to have respect not only for others, but for himself.
After the meeting, it was hoped that the students realized within them there is a potential, and within everyone around them, is knowledge. As Richard reminded them, “Knowledge is power.”

However, fifty years later radio is still very popular and it will be here for a long time. One reason is that we don’t need to see an image when we listen to the music on the radio. In fact, listening with your eyes closed is the best way to listen to a piece of music. You can imagine yourself on a sandy beach or up high on a mountain. In other words, you can create your own images. Moreover, while listening to the radio, you don’t have to take your eyes off your work. For example, you can listen to the radio and drive at the same time. Or you can read a book and listen to the radio. Television, on the other hand, doesn’t have this advantage.
A radio is much smaller than a television. You can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime you want. In a quiet place you can use headphones to listen to the news or music on the radio. In this way you won’t disturb anybody.
Moreover, a radio is much cheaper than a television. For less than $ 20 you can buy a small radio and have fun with it.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
| A．Music. | B．Radio. | C．Sound. | D．Television. |
| A．it has headphones to listen to the news |
| B．they can drive while watching TV |
| C．it has both sounds and images |
| D．they can watch with their ears |
| A．people can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime |
| B．television came out 50 years ago and it is useless now |
| C．a radio is more expensive than a television |
| D．people can use headphones to read books |
The turning 3 came when I met Mrs. Green. She was fifty years old, going through chemotherapy（化学疗法）for her cancer, and still managed to run 30 miles a week. I thought that if Mrs. Green could run 6 miles at a time, I could run at least two. In February, in cold weather, I started a 2-mile 4 around my neighborhood. Two months later, I 5 the running for the first time. I felt very tired, but I felt happy.
Over the next several years, I continued to push each run for a few 6 minutes, slowly building my endurance（耐力）. I didn’t need to 7 against other runners, for my most important competitor was myself.
After continuing to 8 myself, I knew it was time to step my training up. I 9 I would train for the Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Marathon.
The race day 10 came, and I was filled with excitement and worry. It was final time to see what I was made of. The 11 ended up surprisingly. I did 12 through the last few miles, but after my running, there was no doubt in my mind that I’d finished. As I 13 the finish line, I experienced the strongest sense of 14 and happiness I had ever had in my life. I am now a marathoner.
As John Bingham once said, “The miracle（奇迹）isn’t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the 15 to start.”

This shyness continued into college. One day, the question occurred to me: Is life shy?
The thought surprised me ! Think of the leaves bursting out in the spring time, the bird singing at dawn, the sheer number of different forms of life, all expressing the wideness and scope of divine life. There"s nothing shy about it. Life is everywhere and attention-grabbing (引人注意的). So, if my creator isn"t shy about all the life that needs expressing, I don"t need to be either.
I realized that if I wanted to overcome fear and shyness, I would have to put this law of life into practice~ Shyness, fear, and loneliness were hindering me from living my life as life: God wanted me to live it. Therefore, I decided to live how life saw me.
One example: I wrote a note to a girl, asking her out on a date. Even as I was writing it, the fears of disaffirmation and unworthiness came to me. This time however, instead of shrinking back and hiding from the fear, I put the note in the campus mail in spite of myself. I thought: whether she says yes or no, it"s still right for me not to be shy. I can live with the confidence sent from the source of my life. The girl saw me in class the next day and told me that she would love to go out with me. I should not have been so surprised!
Bit by bit, I was proving that the limited view of myself no longer had control over me. After college, I worked as a newspaper reporter, earned an advanced degree in theater, became a productive writer (a lifelong dream), met a special woman whom I married, and even got a job teaching at a university.
小题1:The writer was shy as a child because of______.
| A．awareness that life is shy |
| B．lack of courage to speak out in public |
| C．fear of others" attitude and reaction |
| D．failure in his participation in class discussion |
| A．life is attention-grabbing and divine |
| B．God treats everything and everyone fairly |
| C．everything in nature is in the favour of God |
| D．the creator of life which needs expressing isn"t shy |
| A．didn"t hesitate before sending the note |
| B．wouldn"t regret sending the note despite the result |
| C．was not surprised when the girl agreed to go out |
| D．believed in God and felt encouraged by the wideness of life |
| A．rejection | B．laughter | C．regret | D．horror |
| A．blame those who are shy and unconfident |
| B．persuade people to have confidence in their career |
| C．share the personal experience with the readers |
| D．prove that the overcome of shyness helps achieve success |
They have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. That"s a good philosophy. If they"re headed somewhere and you try to stop them; they"ll look for another way.
They"ll climb over, they"ll climb under, and they"ll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you"re supposed to go.
Second, ants think winter all summer. That"s an important viewpoint. You can"t be so naive ( 天真的) as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer.
An ancient story says, "Don"t build your house on the sand in the summer. " Why do we need that advice."? Because it is important to be realistic. In the summer, you"ve got to think storm. You"ve got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.
The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind themselves, "This won"t last long ; we"ll soon be out of here. " And on the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they"ll dive back down, but then they come out on the first warm day. They can"t wait to get out.
And here"s the last part of the ant-philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he possibly can. What an incredible philosophy, the "all-you-possibly-can" philosophy.
Wow, what a great seminar to attend -- the ant seminar. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

Tom was often called "Big Head" at school because of his extraordinarily large head. He was one of my close friends at primary school. But since graduation, we have been studying in different cities and haven"t seen each other for a long time.
Several days ago, I received an e-mail saying that my former classmates from primary school were holding a party to get together and chat about past memories. I was so excited because [ would get to see Tom again. What would he look like now? Would we still feel as close to each other as we had done back then? I was a little frightened about what I would find.
When I arrived at the party, I did manage to recognize Tom. However, he was much taller than he had been before. What"s more, his head was no longer big.
"Hi, Buddy. Do you recognize me?" Tom walked towards me.
"Of course. How could I ever forget our " Big Head" ," I said jokingly, "But where has your big head gone?"
"Haha, maybe it didn"t keep up with the steps of time and stayed in the past," Tom patted his own head and answered with a laugh.
All my misgivings suddenly disappeared. I realized that time had changed us outwardly, but our friendship hadn"t changed at all. I chatted happily with Tom about our shared experiences in primary school.
Then I looked around the small room and saw different faces, both familiar and unfamiliar, but none of them the faces of strangers. The whole party was filled with a warm atmosphere. Everyone was lost in the sweet memories of childhood. They forgot all their present-day stresses and pressures.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Come and get some pizza!" A call from a friend woke me up from my thoughts. I hurried towards the table. "Wait! That biggest piece is mine!"
小题1:Why are some names always in our phone books?
