7．Paris may be the city of love and one of the most romantic places in the world．These days I've been having a little romance with the city itself．I spent the days wandering among some of the main attractions，stopping for office and shopping in stores．It turns out that I love Paris．
     My hotel was right by the Eiffel Tower．I slept with my curtains open so I could wake up to a pinky sky and the Eiffel Tower．After breakfast I took a short walk up to the Eiffel Tower．I wandered around taking photos．But I decided not to go up the tower because the waiting line was too long．
     Then I headed to the Palais de Tokyo for a quick look around on my way to the Musee Galliera．It is also known as the Musee de la Mode，or the fashion museum．The display during my visit was French costumes．
     You might think a dress is just a dress，but when you think about the purpose of the designers，it's really interesting．Those clothes created a fashion revolution after the years of hardships caused by the Second World War．The clothes weren't just about looking good after years of wearing whatever was just practical，affordable or available during the war．Times were changing and the French wanted to show this celebration in their clothes．Within the museum were rooms filled with dresses from some of France's most famous designers．
      Then I had some of the most delicious macaroons I've ever tasted in a café to regain my strength before I set out for Galerie Vivienne，a shopping mall opened in 1823．
21．The passage is probably taken fromB．
A．A travel guide                       
B．A travel journal
C．An advertisement                     
D．A poster
22．The author left the curtains open in order toC．
A．Take photos                           
B．Watch the Eiffel tower under the night sky           
C．Enjoy the beautiful view in the morning   
D．Let the fresh air in
23．What can we know about the French costumes after the Second World WarD
A．Only woman's clothes were changed．
B．They were mostly designed by famous designers．
C．They were interesting and expensive．
D．They showed people's pleasure of seeing the end of the war．

18．Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience，fear may top the list．
（36）F．Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter-like following our dreams，and developing important relationships．I have some ideas，though，of how to be free from fear．
●Experience fear．
I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people．I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat．However，each time I spoke，I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad．Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind．（37）D．
●Create space．
The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear．This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear，or trying to talk ourselves out of it．（38）A．In fact，a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the"fight or flight（逃避）"response in the body．
●Control the breath and feel the fear．
Once we acknowledge the presence of fear，the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler．We try to make the breath just a little bit longer，and feel how fear manifests（展現(xiàn)） in the body．（39）G．
With practice，we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one．（40）B．For instance，before I get up to speak in front of a group of people，I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully．

A．Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists．
B．We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do．
C．Fear，if left uncontrolled，can even destroy our life．
D．So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear．
E．When we can see a positive outcome in our mind，fear no longer holds us back．
F．But fear is more than just physically unpleasant．
G．As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear，we can see fear objectively．

15．If you have ever been discouraged because of failure，please read on．Usually，achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing．Let me explain．
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house．As they were working，several older boys stopped by to watch．
"What are you doing？"asked one of the visitors．
"We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!"one of the brothers answered excitedly．
The older boys began to laugh，telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible．After a long silence，one of the diggers picked up a bottle full of spiders and insects．He removed the lid（蓋子） and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were laughing at them．Then he said quietly and confidently，"Even if we don't dig all the way through the earth，look at what we found along the way!"
Their goal was far too difficult，but it made them big．And that is what a goal is for-to make us move in the direction we have chosen．In other words，it sets us digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved．Not every job will end successfully．Not every hope will come to pass．Not every love will last．But when you fall short of your aim，perhaps you can say，"Yes，but look at what I found along the way!Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!"And I believe it is the joy in the journey，in the end，that truly matters．

24．One of the brothers showed a bottle to the older boys toB．
A．present what tools they were using
B．show what they had found in their digging
C．frighten them away
D．make them curious
25．We can infer from the passage thatC．
A．digging a hole all the way through the earth is impossible
B．the writer thinks that the two brothers will reach their goal one day
C．a(chǎn) goal is something that we have chosen and want to achieve
D．everyone can succeed if he sets a goal
26．What is the best title for the passage？D
A．Failure is the mother of success     
B．Where there is a will，there is a way
C．No pains，no gains               
D．Joy in the journey．

2．Learning About Different Cultures
Most of us live in a multicultural surroundings these days．Culture can bring us together，but it can also be a cause of division．How does our own culture affect the way we view others？What steps can we take to minimize problems？
Once my friend，who is of Greek origin，went to Sweden on business．He was sent by the head office in the US to introduce a new computer program to their branch office in Sweden．This newly created software would cut production cost in half and speed up the time from planning to production by 30percent，as well as make the finished product look better．After presenting this program to the managers and directors，he waited for their feedback．At first it was quiet．Then，the general manager said，"Hmm，this looks good．"in a flat voice．"Hmm，I agree，"said another．My friend was in shock．Later on，when he told this to me，he said，"My mother used expressions such as‘Fabulous!'and‘Marvelous!'．These people were presented with a multibillion-dollar program，and all they could say was"Hmm．Good．I don't understand it!"
What was the problem？Culture．What is an acceptable way of expressing excitement and joy in one country is not the same in another．The Swedes were thrilled，and they thought it was a fantastic computer program．They just had a different way of showing it．
Another example：I remember my mother always telling me to look at her when she was talking to me，especially if it was something important．It was a way of showing that I was paying attention in a respectful way．Now，my friend from Nigeria told me that she never allows her children to look at her when she is talking．"I want them to respect me，"she says．Who is right？Both．That's the beauty of culture．There is no such thing as right or wrong，good or bad culture．
Of course，one has to take into consideration people living nearby．It is true that a person has to adjust to the country where he chooses to live．On the other hand，when people move into our country，we can make an effort to get to know their culture．Ask them about their country； ask them why they do certain things or wear different clothes．It can be quite interesting，actually．This doesn't mean we have to like it，or live our lives in their way．But knowledge can definitely lead to fewer disagreements and more understanding between people．
When culture is understood and used in an appropriate way，it can give a person a feeling of belonging and security．You know what to do in different situations．For example：at the time of birth and death．Let's give place to culture．Try to know and understand other people's culture，and also try to analyze our own．Let's choose our own way of life．Above all else---let's live in peace with all men!


Title：Learning About Different Cultures
Introduction●Culture can not only bring people together but also （71）divide/separate them．

（72）Examples		●A friend of Greek origin was （73）shocked/surprised when he received ordinary feedback from some Swedish people．
●In some countries，looking at somebody when he/she is speaking is a way of showing （74）respect/politeness，while in Nigeria，it is the （75）opposite．

Facts		●People of different cultures have a different way of expressing themselves．
●All Cultures are right and good．That is where the （76）beauty of culture lies．


Solutions		●A person should be （77）considerate/thoughtful/nice/kind to the people around and learn about the local culture．
●People should also learn about the culture of those who have newly arrived．
●Learning about others'culture can be of （78）interest and can help reduce （79）disagreements/misunderstanding（s） between people．
Summary●Understanding others'culture can help people live （80）peacefully．

12．Not long ago，I answered a telephone call from an old friend Jack．"Hi，Steve，"he said，"I just wanted to see how you are getting along．"For whatever reason，for months our paths had simply not crossed．It was good to talk with him．I wondered why we hadn't kept in touch better．Towards the end of the conversation，he said，"If you need me in any way，I will be happy to help out．"And he meant it．
That call came at just the right time．That time，I had just about reached the lowest point in my life．I lost my job because of my poor performance，but I really needed the job to support the family．I needed those words of encouragement．The phone did it．I hung up the phone feeling real warmth in my chest．
    And that day I re-learned something important about life：life is mainly about people---not plans and schedules，not to-do lists and a million tasks left undone---it's about people．
    My friend reminded me that it is never enough just to love； we must also express it．He advised me to share my trouble with my wife or even my children．He would like to have phone calls and be my listener．What good is our love toward others if we don't find ways to let them know？
George William Childs said like this：Do not keep the box of your love and friendship sealed（封閉） up until your friends are dead．Fill their lives with sweetness．Speak cheering words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can be made happier．Say the kind things you mean to say before they go．Happiness may be just a phone call away．

19．Looking back on my childhood，I get to believe that naturalists are born and not made．Although we were all brought up in the same way，my brothers and sisters soon threw away their pressed flowers and insects． Unlike them，I had no ear for music and languages． I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic．
 Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary．I have only the unclear memory of the house we lived in，of my room and my toys．Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins who gathered next door．But I do have a clear memory of the dogs，the farm animals，the local birds and，above all，the insects．
 I am a naturalist，not a scientist．I have a strong love of the natural world，and my enthusiasm（熱情） has led me into varied investigations（調(diào)查）．I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people's observations and discoveries．Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind．Suddenly you wonder you see the answer to the riddle（迷），because it all seems to fit together．This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books，which some might honour with the title of scientific research．
 But curiosity，a keen eye，a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist； one of the outstanding qualities required is self-discipline，a quality I lack．A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training，determination and a goal．A scientist，up to a point，can be made．A naturalist is born．If you can combine the two，you get the best of both worlds．
32．The first paragraph tells us that the authorC．
A．was born to a naturalist's family       
B．lost his hearing when he was a child
C．didn't like his brothers and sisters      
D．was interested in flowers and insects

A．he didn't live long with them          
B．he was fully busy observing nature

D．he was too young when he lived with them
34． It can be inferred from the passage that the author wasD   
A．a(chǎn) naturalist but not a scientist          
B．more a good observer than a listener
C．no more than a born naturalist         
D．a(chǎn) scientist as well as a naturalist
35． The author says he's a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks heA．
A．lacks s ome of the qualities required of a scientist
B．he couldn't do mental arithmetic
C．he was brought up in a family of farmers
D．he was not knowledgeable enough．
