Upset by reading bad news daily, Neil Pasricha decided to try to focus on the positive and come up with 1, 000 simple, free, good things, posting one each day on a blog（博客）.

Pasricha, aged 30, said his blog aimed to focus on life’s simple pleasures, such as finding forgotten money in a pocket. or fixing a TV set with a heavy blow. Little did he realize his blog would attract 40, 000 people a day to join his discussions. He was amazed to win two Webby awards. known as “the Oscars of the Internet, ”something positive at a time when his marriage broke up and one of his closest friends killed himself.

“I turned the worst year of my life into my best year by focusing on the positive, ”Pasricha told reporters in a telephone interview. “Every day I try to find something that is happy, free and universal to share. 1ike the smell of a bakery（面包店）or when a cashier opens up a new line at a store. ”

Pasficha said when he began his blog in June 2008 he thought he might have trouble finding out 1, 000 simple, happy moments in life but now he is more than halfway through and ideas keep crowding in, from himself and from followers of his blog.

“These moments can start a huge conversation. Most of our life is really about hitting green lights on the way home from work. or waking up before your alarm（警报）clock rings and realizing you have more time in bed. But it is those small moments we forget about. ”

Although his blog got a great success. Pasricha does not want to change his daily life. “I travel regularly for an hour a day to work. I like work because I like the people in my office. I’m not a writer and I don’t know the writing skills either. I just like observing the world and putting it down, ”he said.

55. Neil Pasricha determined to post positive feelings or things on his blog because _________. A. he wanted to forget his marriage life B. he wanted to make his blog successful C. 1, 000 simple, free, happy things excited him D. daily bad news and broken marriage saddened him

Canadian scientists have found a method to help aging people get less forgetful by improving their cognitive（认知）abilities through training. Everyone experiences memory loss and cognitive decrease as they get older. The decrease usually becomes noticeable after 50, when people may find it slightly more difficult to focus on tasks, organize everyday jobs and remember how to do things in the right order.

A team of psychologists（心理学家）in Toronto created a strategy（策略）of cognitive training to help people preserve these abilities. “Our most important aim was on improving the use of general strategic abilities because they are particularly weak to the aging process, ”said Dr. Donald Stuss, director of the study.

The team examined 49 healthy older adults with normal cognitive decrease, all of whom were between the ages of 71 and 87. Over the course of 12 weeks, psychologists taught them methods to improve their strategic abilities. The 12-week course was broken up into three four-week sections, focusing on different strategic abilities memory, goal management and psychosocial function. Afterwards, researchers saw a 15 to 40 percent improvement in the memories of all these people. “Over a period of six months their improvement not only maintained, but increased, ”said Dr. Gordon Winocur. “We wanted to develop a cognitive training program that would produce improvement over a short period of time, so people who take part in this program could benefit more on that while they’re still functional and slow down the rate of decrease. ”said Winocur. “If we can work with people in the early stages of cognitive decrease, then we can slow down the rate of this decrease and help

them maintain a higher level of function for a longer period of time. ”

59. The underlined word “maintained” in the third paragraph probably means “__________”. A. weakened B. changed C. strengthened D. preserved

60. From what Winocur said in the last paragraph, we can learn that __________. A. the training can prevent one’s memory from decreasing B. the cognitive training program has been proved successful

C. the training has little effect on aging people who suffer from cognitive decrease D. they aim to help aging people suffer less from memory loss and cognitive decrease 61. According to the passage we can learn that __________. A. the training time for each strategic ability is 12 weeks

B. improving general strategic abilities can bring an end to cognitive decrease C. improving the general strategic abilities can help aging people get less forgetful D. aging people can avoid forgetfulness by improving cognitive abilities through training 62. What is the passage mainly about? A. Saying no to the memory decrease. B. Helping aging people preserve memory. C. A new way to develop a good memory. D. The importance of cognitive abilities.

D

We are not born doubting ourselves. We learn to do it. In fact, we are usually taught to doubt ourselves. We can learn some ways that allow us to become more accepting of ourselves. Following are two behaviors that might explain the reasons why you can’t move towards greater self-acceptance. One thing that might cause you not to accept yourself is over-generalizing about something you’ve done that you don’t like. For example. if you fail a test you might generalize and say, “I’m really a stupid person. ”When you do this you are making a statement about all of you all of the time and not just about this one situation at this time. Instead, you might decide that your grade on this test in this subject at this time was indeed poor, and then go on to decide what you want to do about your poor grade, if anything. Getting stuck in over—generalizing discourages you from taking steps that might allow you to do better on the next exam and to build an expectation of future failure.

Having standards that are impossibly high is a second way you can not accept yourself. It may not come as a surprise to you that most of us are more demanding of ourselves than we are of others. We don’t know why we can tolerate the fact that other people fail, that they aren’t always kind, that they’ve done things they aren’t proud of, but we have difficulty accepting those on ourselves. The need to be perfect is another way to set yourself up for failure and strengthen the feeling that you are not acceptable. We all make mistakes. Accepting less than perfection simply means recognizing the limitations natural in being born a human being. Learn to value who you are rather than who you could become. Wouldn’t it be overpowering if we always had to do what we imagine we could do? Nobody has the time and energy to do all of that. We must make choices about what we will seek and do them the best we can under the conditions, which aren’t always ideal, by the way. 63. From the passage we can learn that __________.

A. over-generalizing might cause you not to accept yourself B. over-generalizing might encourage you to expect the future

C. we can tolerate the fact that we’ve done things we aren’t proud of D. we can feel that we are perfect when we set ourselves up for success . What has caused the lack of self-acceptance? A. Tolerance and high. level. B. Limitation and expectation.

C. Over-generalization and high-standard. D. Extreme difficulty and complete failure.

65. Which of the following would the author agree to? A. It’s necessary for people to be perfect. B. It’s acceptable for people to be imperfect. C. It’s strange for people to be born with limitation. D. It’s good for people to do everything they can imagine.

第二节（共3小题；共5分）

阅读下面文章并根据题目要求回答问题。

The kids get home from school—tired, hungry and looking for entertainment. The last thing they want to do is to get on with their homework. However, at this very time, parents often remind the

kids to do their homework by nagging（唠叨）. If that doesn’t work, homework wars break out. But with some basic rules and good habits, they can be avoided.

When it comes to preparing your kids for homework success, one of the first things to begin is the environment they are working in. Not all children will like working alone in their bedrooms. Some children might prefer to study at the kitchen table, and providing that location works for the family, there’s no reason to force them into another room.

Try to keep the house quiet and free of distractions（干扰）. If you’re worried you can’t provide the right equipment or environment at home, see whether the local library could offer a reading room to study. Also, some schools will offer homework clubs, where students can finish homework and seek help from teacher if needed.

Once you’ve got the study environment sorted, think about when it is the best time for homework to be done. If children are old enough to make plans, it can be worth sitting down together and breaking projects into smaller tasks to be finished on different nights. This can stop kids from feeling depressed and it also teaches them time management skills.

If you follow the above rules. you can avoid homework wars. And remember that a little bit of kindness can go a long way.

66. What is the last thing the kids want to do after they get home from school?

___________________________________________________________________________

67. Apart from a quiet room at home, what other two good places can children study in?

___________________________________________________________________________ 68. What’s the main idea of the passage?
