It is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.
How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.
Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.
Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.
First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”. Look around you. With very few exceptions (例外), either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.
Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why?
Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeed. Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.
But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences(結(jié)果) of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.
We all have limited resources in the form of time and money so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate(分配) these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.
There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.”
So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper(成功).
【小題1】The underlined word “eliminate” means _______.

A．a(chǎn)void  B．remove  C．a(chǎn)ccept  D．solve 
【小題2】According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is _______.
A．a(chǎn)voiding making the same mistakes 
B．a(chǎn)ccepting the punishment willingly 
C．taking consequences into consideration 
D．trying things out one by one 
【小題3】The article is mainly about _______.
A．how to deal with mistakes 
B．what benefits mistakes bring 
C．how to achieve success 
D．how to make use of your mistakes 
【小題4】What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?
A．Never mind, I can always try again. 
B．I’d better stay out of trouble. 
C．Now I can learn something new.  
D．Look at this mess. Anyone would be upset.

Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no”.
A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some help, and you agree. But, what you really wanted was a couple of quiet days relaxing at home. Or a roommate spends the entire weekends playing video games and wants to borrow your homework for “reference”. But, you’ve just finished it after taking a whole day to work hard.
Many people say “yes” to these kinds of requests. They tend not to consider their own interests and feelings, and are often angry with themselves afterwards.
Saying “no” requires courage and considerable practice, in fact, according to psychologists.
“Everyone wants to be liked,” says Gabriele Steinki, a German psychologist. “Saying ‘no’ risks losing the affection of the person asking the favor or even a job.”
The result is that many people say “yes” just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say “no”.
In fact, rejecting a request can even help to strengthen a relationship because it expresses a true feeling.
But, for people used to agreeing to every request, changing can be a long and uncomfortable learning process.
Most people believe that “If I say ‘no’, I’ll lose the affection of the person. But the affection is important to me.” This way of thinking can be replaced by this: “If he only likes me because I always do what suits him , then the price of his affection is too high in the long term.”
Steinki says the key is talking to the other person to find a mutual (相互的) solution. “One needs to present the situation from one’s own point of view, and to suggest how the situation can be dealt with to the advantage of both parties. The other person must have the feeling that his interests are being considered.”[
When the refusal is not accepted, Steinki advises giving the reasons calmly again until the person gets the message.
【小題1】Most people say “yes” much more readily than “no” because ________.[

A．they don’t care about their own interests and feelings
B．they don’t know they will regret afterwards
C．they have already been used to saying “yes”
D．they care more about others’ affection
【小題2】In the opinion of experts, _________ .
A．people need a lot of practice to say “no”
B．people should say “yes” to keep the peace
C．saying “no” means losing a job
D．people have the right to be liked
【小題3】According to the writer, what should you do if you want to refuse the other person’s request?
A．Just say you can’t help him.
B．Say sorry to him.
C．Refuse him clearly.
D．Talk to the other person to find a mutual way.
【小題4】According to the writer, what should you do if your refusal is not accepted?
A．Say yes to him. B．Repeat your reason for his acceptance
C．Just go away D．Say no to him
【小題5】What is the best title of the passage?
A．You Need Courage To Say “No” B．“Yes” More Than “No”
C．Nobody Has the Right To Say “No” D．It’s Easy To Say “Yes”

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault． "or "I know I'm late,  but it's not my fault;  the car broke down． "It is probably not your fault,  but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser． You have no power and can do nothing that helps change the situation． However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation．This is the winner's key to success．

This is what being a winner is all about－creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else.

His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion for people, and sense of understanding.

When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an　award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says. "I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up--again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."
【小題1】Why did Mary feel regretful?

A．She didn't achieve her ambition.B．She didn't take care of her mother.
C．She didn't complete her high school.D．She didn't follow her mother's advice.
【小題2】We can know that before 1995 Mary         。
A．had two books publishedB．received many career awards
C．knew how to use a computerD．supported the JDRF by writing
【小題3】Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her ________.
A．living with diabetesB．successful show business
C．service for an organizationD．remembrance of her mother
【小題4】When Mary received the life-changing news, she __.
A．lost control of herselfB．began a balanced diet
C．tired to get a treatment D．behaved in an adult way
【小題5】What can we know from the last paragraph?
A．Mary feels pity for herself.
B．Mary has recovered from her disease.
C．Mary wants to help others as much as possible.
D．Mary determines to go back to the dance floor.

I was eight when my neighbors got a TV. It was small and expensive, but that didn’t matter. IT WAS WONDERFUL. Everyone in the building came up to the fifth floor to see this latest wonder of the modern world. That was in 1948.
Soon, a lot of people got a TV, but not us. My parents didn’t think it was good for children. Being a good son, I didn’t argue with them. But I secretly watch TV—at my friends’ homes.
By 1955, televisions weren’t so expensive and were much larger. My parents still thought they were not good for us, but my sisters insisted, saying they were the only people in the neighborhood who didn’t have one. All their friends talked about certain programs and actors, but they couldn’t. Their friends laughed at them, which made them feel very unhappy. My youngest sister cried, saying she was never going back to school and that life without a TV wasn’t worth living. Nothing my parents said made her feel better. The next morning, without telling us, they went out and got a new TV.
When we were young our parents allowed us to watch TV for two hours a night. And we couldn’t watch until our homework was finished. But after a year or two, TV wasn’t exciting or new anymore. It became just another part of our lives like shoes or soap. My parents still had fears about TV. We were going to forget how to read, and TV was going to fill our minds with violence, they said.
Today people still argue about the value of TV. Nobody can deny the power of TV, which has a powerful influence on our lives. On average, Americans spend 30 hours a week watching TV. Is this influence good or bad? This is an unanswerable question indeed: It is hard enough to measure influence; and it is even harder to decide what is good and what isn’t. What is good, I suppose, is that many people are concerned about TV’s influence and that we have the power to change what we don’t like.
The people of Monhegan Island, 18 kilometers away off the coast of Maine, don’t have electricity, and they decided; once again, that they liked that way. Electricity, they think, would make life too easy and spoil their way of life. Maybe the young people wouldn’t want to go to town dances anymore. Maybe they would be more interested in staying at home and watching TV.
【小題1】How old was the author, when their family got a TV?

A．About 15. B．8. C．18. D．About 10. 
【小題2】The author’s parents finally decided to buy a TV because _______.
A．they wanted to meet their daughters’ needs . 
B．the children couldn’t go to school without a TV 
C．the sisters would like to be like their friends 
D．they had to do as the youngest daughter told them to 
【小題3】The author thinks “to judge whether a TV’s influence is good or bad” is ________.
A．concerning B．hard C．meaningless D．important 
【小題4】The last paragraph is written to show ________.
A．the disadvantage of TV 
B．TV influences people a great deal 
C．the advantage of TV 
D．we can change what we don’t like

If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed down.
With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.
Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)
Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head.  The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.    Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”
【小題1】The team of doctors wanted to find out ________.
why certain people age sooner than others  
B. how to make people live longer
C. the size of certain people’s brains       
D. which people are most intelligent
【小題2】On what are their research findings based?
A survey of farmers in northern Japan.       
B. Tests performed on a thousand old people.
C. The study of brain volumes of different people 
D. The latest development of computer technology.

B. branches of knowledge studied
C. persons chosen to be studied in an experiment  
D. any member of a state except the supreme ruler.
