题型:不详难度:来源:
Do you have a dream, something you always see yourself doing? Perhaps you see yourself as a lawyer, businessman, or even a scientist. Whatever it is, don’t let it die.
A dream is a wonderful thing. It can give you hope for your future and encourage you to try when all odds are against you.
However, there are dream killers that want to kill your dream. They may tell you that it is impossible for you, that you are not smart enough or that it’s never been done before. However, many times the biggest dream killer is yourself.
Don’t let fear, doubt or lack of finances prevent you from fulfilling(实现) your dream. Talk back to these killers, “I can and fulfill my dream.” You may have to do this every day. The more often you talk to your heart that you can do it, the more safely your dream will be held within you.
It is very important to take steps towards fulfilling your dream. For me, in order to fulfill my dream of one-day owning my own magazine, I needed to go back to school and finish my college degree. For you, it may be something different. You know deep inside what the voice of your dream calls for. Don’t be afraid and just do it. Try not to let too much time go by. Time is another one of those dream killers.
Think about the words of a song by Yolanda Adams, “Keep the dream alive. Don’t let it die. If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try, don’t stop. And never give up. Don’t ever give up on you. Sometimes, life can place a stumbling block in your way. But you have to keep the faith.”
When you dream, dream big and never give up. Your dream is just yours. Never let anyone tell you that your dream can’t happen -- it can! Keep seeing yourself do what’s never been done before. As you continue to feed your dream and protect it, not only will you keep it alive, but it will come true.

We may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it until whatever we’ve become used to suddenly disappears.  36 , for example, the neatly-dressed woman I  37  to see—or look at—on my way to work each morning.
For three years, no matter  38  the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 am. On  39  days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime  40  out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses. 41 , she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I  42  all this only after she was seen no more. It was then that I realized how  43  I expected to see her each morning. You might say I  44 her.
“Did she have an accident? Something  45 ?” I thought to myself about her  46 . Now that she was gone, I felt I had  47  her. I began to realize that part of our  48  life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar  49 : the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who 50  walks her dog along the street every morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are  51  markers in our lives. They add weight to our  52  of place and belonging.
Think about it.  53 , while walking to work, we mark where we are by  54  a certain building, why should we not mark where we are when we pass a familiar, though  55 , person?

Attitude is an internal state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual. 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 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 incidents, 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 longer.
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 of Attitude.
C.Choices of Attitudes.
D.Modification of Attitude.

When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to   36  water to the runners. I remember being so   37  to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! So the next year I   38  up for the race.
That first 10,000m race was quite an  39 . I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked.   40  , I didn’t know if I could finish. Then came a defining (决定性)   41  .
At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very, very fast, and I felt   42 because I was 50 years younger than he but I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt   43  for a second.
But then I   44  something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had   45  abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my   46 was only to finish.
After a minute, it   47  me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself in that moment. I turned my embarrassment into   48 .
I  49  that I would not give up on running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and prepare   50  and one day I would be one of those 70-year-old persons who were still running. As I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my   51 .
In life we all have those moments where we   52  ourselves to others. It’s only   53 . Don’t allow those moments to   54  you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. With the proper preparation and training, you can improve your result to   55   anything you want in life.

A good heart
Dikembe Mutombo grew up in Africa among great poverty and disease. He came to Georgetown University on a scholarship(奖学金) to study medicine — but Coach(教练) John Thompson got a look at Dikembe and had a different idea. Dikembe became a star in the NBA, and a citizen of the United States. But he never forgot the land of his birth, or the duty to share his fortune with others. He built a new hospital in his old hometown in the Congo. A friend has said of this good-hearted man: “Mutombo believes that God has given him this chance to do great things.”
Success and kindness
After her daughter was born, Julie Aigner-Clark searched for ways to share her love of music and art with her child. So she borrowed some equipment, and began filming children’s videos(录像) in her own house. The Baby Einstein Company was born, and in just five years her business grew to more than $20 million in sales. And she is using her success to help others — producing child safety videos with John Walsh of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Julie says of her new program: “I believe it’s the most important thing that I have ever done. I believe that children have the right to live in a world that is safe.”
Bravery and courage
A few weeks ago, Wesley Autrey was waiting at a Harlem subway station with his two little girls when he saw a man fall into the path of a train.
