Attitude is an internal(內(nèi)在的) state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual(個(gè)人). 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(獲得) 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 events, 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.
【小題1】According to the passage, attitudes        .

A.come from different situations in one’s life
B.a(chǎn)re largely affected by one’s behavior
C.remain unchanged in one’s daily life
D.could be chosen according to one’s will
【小題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.a(chǎn)n individual may change his or her attitude fairly easily

A.Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.
B.Attitudes learned in danger will last no more.
C.Copying others’ behavior is not a good idea.
D.Attitudes can be learned from one’s parents.

Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “ being a writer” and “ writing”. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a computer. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a free writer, I had no promise at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used computer and felt a real writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I know I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if?  I would keep putting my dream to the test--- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
【小題1】The passage is meant to _______.

A.warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B.a(chǎn)dvise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C.show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to be after wealth and fame
D.encourage young people to be after a writer career
【小題2】What can be concluded from the passage?
A.Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding
B.Writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort
C.Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation(隔離)
D.The chances for a writer to become successful are small
【小題3】Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?
A.He wasn’t able to produce a single book
B.He hadn’t seen a change for the better
C.He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year
D.He found his dream would never come true
【小題4】 “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _____. 
A.thewonderlandonoftendreamsabout

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.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly.Or, you might start to carry along with you useful phone numbers, so you can call for help when in need.For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person.Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person.You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.         
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. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.

A.deal with problems rather than blame others
B.meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

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

While learning the science lessons, I used to get a doubt--why ear, nose, tongue and eyes should be called as special senses? The basic reason is that these are the channels through which we maintain contact with the surroundings. Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organs, they do show some connectivity. Interestingly, our hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food. Isn’t it good for a sound nap after a stomach-full meal? That does not mean we go deaf after a meal, but the hearing pitch(強(qiáng)度)does change after a heavy meal.
We usually give credit of the taste to our tongue, but do you know that unless saliva(唾液)dissolves something, our tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten. Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds(味蕾)present on the tongue. Try to dry off your tongue and mouth with a tissue paper and then taste something.
Women are much better smellers than men. They are born with this characteristic ability and can correctly recognize the exact fragrance of the sample. We all can store almost 50,000 different smells, which are strongly tied to the memories.
Pupils(瞳孔)do not respond to light alone, but to the slightest bit of noise around too. Thus surgeons, watchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a much delicate job do prefer to have a sound-free environment. Even a small noise can enlarge their pupils, change the focus and make their vision less clear.
Each and every one of us has a particular or individualistic or characteristic smell, which is unique to us, except the twins. This smell is very subtle yet can be sensed even by a newborn. It may be due to this smell that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around.
【小題1】What may happen after you have had a rich lunch?

A.Your eyes become weak and can not see well.
B.You may feel energetic and fresh.
C.Your hearing pitch may be decreased.
D.Your tongue may lose the function of taste.
【小題2】. What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
A.Our tongues can’t be dried while eating something.
B.If your tongue is dried without any saliva on it, it will not work.
C.A tissue paper is the only thing that can be used to dry our tongues.
D.If your tongue is dried with a tissue paper, it may work as well as before.
【小題3】What makes each person different from anyone else except twins according to the passage?
A.The number of sensory organs.
B.The functions of sensory organs.
C.The particular smell of a person.
D.The style of one’s behavior.
【小題4】Which of the following may be the best title of this passage?
A.The Sensitivity of Sensory Organs
B.The Functions and Connections of Sensory Organs
C.A Newborn’s Sensory Organs
D.Different Senses Between Men and Woman

When several different people look at the same person,it's not unusual for each of them to see different things;when you alone observe one behavior or one person at two different times,you may see different things.The following are but some of the factors that lead to these changing perceptions(感知認(rèn)可).
(1)Each person's perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning education,and personal experiences.
(2)Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we've observed.It is not necessarily true that person's perception is based on observations of a particular person.Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person;or you may focus (聚集)primarily on the situation or role relationship.Most people do not use the same yardstick(標(biāo)準(zhǔn))to measure their parents,their friends and strangers.
(3)Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don't see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs,desires,or temporary emotional states.This is a process known as selective perception.Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory (矛盾的)information is particularly obvious,but it can be done.We can ignore(忽視)the “stimulus”.He's basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting.
We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information—All kids(孩子)get into mischief(頑皮).Taking a book from the bookstore isn't such a big deal.“We can change the meaning of the contradictory information.” It wasn't shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.
【小題1】The first factor given by the author that affects our perception is ________.

A.the abilities of one's auditory (聽覺的)and visual (視覺的)sensors 
B.cultural background and personal experiences 
C.experiences one learns from others  
D.critical measures taken by other people 
【小題2】While observing a particular person,________.
A.one is likely to take all aspects(方面)to consideration 
B.one pays more attention to his/her advantages 
C.children often differ from grown?ups in perception 
D.one tends to choose certain cues(提示)to look for 
【小題3】Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because ________.
A.their measuring yardsticks are not the same 
B.either of them may be slow to catch information 
C.the time for observation is not long enough 
D.each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions
