My father was a highly educated, intelligent gentleman. He could debate or discuss for hours on almost any topic and hold your 16 in the process. I thought there was nothing he wasn’t 17 to do.
A few days before my younger brother’s 7th birthday, Dad planned to assemble(装配) a new 18 as a special birthday surprise. After nearly an hour of 19 the instructions, Dad was still unable to 20 the new bike together. Later he 21 the paper of instructions, 22 up his tool box, and decided to take the bike back to the local toy store and pay extra 23 to have it correctly assembled there. 24 an idea came to him, as he called out to Lovett, the quiet little man who cut our grassland.
“Lovett, have you ever assembled a boy’s bicycle?”
As Lovett walked towards the bike, Dad handed him the 25 . Lovett handed it back to him, saying, “No, thanks. I can’t read. When you can’t read, you have to 26 .” Less than 15 minutes later, the new bicycle was 27 assembled, with no 28 parts remaining. Dad shook Lovett’s hand, patted him on the back, thanked him, and hid the bike.
On the night after my brother received his shiny new gift, Dad announced at the family dinner table what had happened several days earlier. He took great 29 in telling it over and over again---he used it as an example of thinking.
He did not refer to illiteracy(文盲) , but strongly taught us to use our 30 . The joke was on my father, 31 he was able to turn it into a learning tool, and I liked him even more after that incident. I also gained a new 32 for Lovett. To me he had 33 been the old yard man who didn’t 34 much, but after that day, he seemed to smile 35 , even walk taller. It’s amazing what a real nod of approval can do to lift people up.

A
Let’s pay a visit to some of the most amazing and unusual places in the world, from icy hotels to temples on the side of cliffs(悬崖).
Hotel de Glace — Canada
If you don’t mind the cold, this igloo(冰屋) style hotel is certainly for you. Nearly everything, including the bedding, is made of ice! This hotel is so well insulated(隔热) that whatever the temperature outside is, the temperature inside never changes more than a few degrees. It’s around 23 degrees to be exact. Since it is made of ice the hotel does have some dress requirements that can be found on their website. Arctic sleeping bags are provided for every guest, including children. For more information, visit the website: http://www.icehotelcanada.com.
The Tigers Nest Monastery — Bhutan
Built directly onto a cliff side, this ancient temple has claimed its spot since 1692. Rich in history, Tigers Nest is constructed around eight attractive caves on the mountainside. Most of the caves are easy to reach through the natural rock stairways. However, some are more difficult, and can only be reached by shaky rope bridges. Visit the website http://www.bhutantouroperators.net/taktsang-monastery.php for more information.
Dinosaur Provincial Park — Canada
Known to be one the greatest fossil locations in the world, Dinosaur Provincial Park has nearly 500 specimens (标本) in all shapes and sizes. The park itself has a vast collection of fossils and a unique natural ecosystem. For more information, please visit http://tpr.alberta.ca/parks/dinosaur/index.aspx.
Leshan Giant Buddha — Sichuan China
The world’s largest Buddha sits on the edge of two great rivers. Construction is believed to have started around the year 713, and at the time of this construction it was the tallest carved statue in the world. All 233 feet of the stature was carved from the surrounding cliffs and preserved in amazing condition. Even the 2008 earthquake was not enough to shake it. Its website http://yeschinatour.com/china-guides/china-attractions leshan-giant-buddha-leshan will provide you with more information.

As demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming decades, we must consider every possible energy source on hand if we‘re to meet the world‘s needs. And because clean natural gas is found in great plenty, there is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century, much like oil did in the last. But, like oil, gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world, usually far from where they‘re needed most. And that‘s only part of the challenge. The world has had well over 100 years to search for oil and to build the necessary facilities to bring it to market; the natural gas facilities, particularly when it comes to liquefied（液化）natural gas（LNG）, are not nearly as developed.
So what needs to be done? On the supply side, producing nations need policies that allow for better development of their natural gas in an open, stable business environment, not one in which the rules of the game change without warning. The governments of consuming nations, on the other hand, must make policies for sustainable（可持续的）development to ensure they‘ll have enough supplies in the future. That means building the related facilities, including LNG stations. This, in turn, will require coastal areas to allow these necessary, but not necessarily pretty, facilities to be built in their backyards. And energy companies have a responsibility to be good neighbors in those areas by operating these facilities responsibly and safely. They must also continue to put in the billions of dollars needed to build the complex transport and storage facilities required to bring more gas to market.
Expanding and diversifying（使多样化）energy sources by using more natural gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy security. We‘ve taken some of the steps to get started, but we need your help to get the rest of the way.
41. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Gas played a major part in the 20th century.
B. Gas reserves are widely spread around the world.
C. Natural gas facilities are far from satisfactory.
D. Necessary facilities are ready to bring gas to market.
42. The underlined word 'one'（in Paragraph 2）refers to ______.
A. a gas supply side B. a policy for gas development
C. a gas consuming nation D. a business environment
43. Consuming nations of natural gas need to ______.
A. have long-term policies for gas supply B. open markets in their backyards
C. build pretty facilities along the coast D. change the rules of the game
44. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. warn people of the lack of power and fuel
B. discuss the importance of oil and natural gas
C. instruct people how to make use of energy sources
D. call for better use and development of natural gas
45. The passage might be followed by a paragraph about ______.
A. which countries are in great need of gas B. where energy sources are concentrated
C. what kind of help you can offer D. what problems of energy sources we may face
C
I carry a Rubik’s Cube (魔方) in my backpack. Solving it quickly is a terrific conversation starter. I usually ask people to try it first. They just turn the cube over in their hands, not even knowing where to begin. That’s exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read. Letters and words were out of order. Nothing made sense because I am dyslexic.
The Rubik’s Cube has made me believe that sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to move forward. This was a reflection of my own life when I had to leave public school after the fourth grade. It’s embarrassing to admit, but I still couldn’t always spell my full name correctly. As a fifth-grader at a new school specializing in what’s called “language-processing disorder”, I had to start over. I then spent the next four years learning how to learn and find strategies that allowed me to return to my district’s high school with the ability to communicate my ideas and express my intelligence.
Now, I can easily solve the 5×5×5. I discover that just before it is solved, a problem can look like a mess, and then suddenly you can find the solution. Early in my Rubik’s career, I became so frustrated that I took the cube apart and rebuilt it. I believe that sometimes you have to look deeper and find answers in unexpected places. The Rubik’s cube taught me that to accomplish something big, it helps to break it down into small pieces. I learned that it’s important to spend a lot of time thinking, to try to find connections and patterns. I believe that there are surprises around the corner.
Like life itself, the Rubik’s cube can be frustrating puzzle. So everyday I carry a Rubik’s cube in my backpack as a reminder that I can achieve my goals, no matter what obstacles I face.
46. The author took the Rubik’s Cube apart because ______.
A. he couldn’t work out how to solve it B. he hated it and wanted to destroyed it
C. he wanted to learn how to rebuild it D. he was eager to find the connections
47. The underlined word “dyslexic” in Paragraph 1 probably means a person who has trouble with ______.
A. remembering B. reading C. speaking D. listening
48. Why did the author leave the public school?
A. He had to take steps back in order to relearn the basic things at another school.
B. He was so crazy about the Rubik’s Cube that he wanted to solve it first.
C. His interest shifted to learning how to communicate with other people.
D. He was afraid to go to the public school because he could not spell his name.
49. The author carries a Rubik’s Cube in his backpack to ______.
A. start conversations with strangers B. compete with others
C. take it apart and rebuild it D. encourage him to succeed
50. Which would be the best title for the text?
A. Unforgettable Lessons About Life B. Approaches to Solving the Rubik’s Cube
C. Accomplishing Big Things in Small Stages D. Surprises Around the Corner
D
From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs（殉道者）. They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
51. People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they ______.
A. are ready to change their minds B. can’t exercise control over themselves
C. don’t have the power to face their fate D. are easily affected by windy weather
52. Losers would think that ______.
A. success is the result of hard work B. their failure is only because of bad luck
C. working hard will lead to success D. they don’t make efforts to succeed
53. It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that ______.
A. setting our expectations is essential before taking action
B. developing confidence is the key to future success
C. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
54. The last paragraph serves as ______.
A. the proof of the author’s points B. an introduction to another topic
C. the conclusion of the argument D. a comparison between two views
55. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Develop our confidence. B. The secrets of success.
C. Success is a choice. D. How to achieve success.

Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart, was born in Kingfish, Oklahoma on March 29, 1918. He was raised in Missouri where he worked in his father’s store while attending school. This was his first retailing (零售业) experience and he really enjoyed it. After graduation, he began his own career as a retail merchant.
He soon opened his first Wal-Mart store in 1962 in Rogers, Arkansas. Wal-Mart specialized in name brands at low prices and Sam Walton was surprised at the success. Soon a chain of Wal-Mart stores sprang up across rural America.
Walton‘s management style was popular with employees and he founded some of the basic concepts of management that are still in use today.
After taking the company public in 1970, Walton introduced his “profit sharing plan”. The profit sharing plan was a plan for Wal-Mart employees to improve their income dependent on the profits of the store. Sam Walton believed that “individuals don‘t win, teams do”. Employees at Wal-Mart stores were offered stock options (认股权) and store discounts. These benefits are commonplace today, but Walton was among the first to implement (实现) them. Walton believed that a happy employee meant happy customers and more sales. He also believed that by giving employees a part of the company and making their success dependent on the company’s success, they would care about the company.
By the 1980s, Wal-Mart had sales of over one billion dollars and over three hundred stores across North America. Wal-Mart’s unique decentralized (分散的) distribution system, also Walton’s idea, created the edge needed to further encourage growth in the 1980s during growing complaints that the “superstore” was stopping smaller and traditional stores from developing. By 1991, Wal-Mart was the largest US retailer with 1,700 stores. Walton remained active in managing the company, as president and CEO until 1988 and chairman until his death. He was awarded the Medal of Freedom shortly before his death.
56. What does the underlined word “it” in Para.1 refer to? (No more than 5 words)
57. How did Walton’s first Wal-mart store achieve success? (No more than 10 words)
58. What is the purpose of Walton’s carrying out “profit sharing plan”? (No more than 15 words)
59. Why were employees at Wal-mart stores offered stock options? (No more than 10 words)
60. Are you in favor of Walton’s management style? And why? (No more than 20 words)
