A. They admit their mistakes.       
B. They are open to criticism.
C. They are willing to learn.        
D. They’re in charge of their emotions.
E. They apologize when needed.     
F. They are generous with compliments. 
We all see and hear about extraordinary people around us and wonder why can’t we be more like them? Sometimes we chuck that notion as absurd and unachievable. I would say not so fast. It’s not the big things that make someone extraordinary. It’s the small things. Things over a period of time have the power to radically change your life. They become extraordinary by making a difference in someone’s life. Here are some of the things extraordinary people do every day:
【小題1】 __________
Just because you’re the boss, it doesn’t mean you are right every time. It doesn’t mean you have the best ideas. Learn to back up your ideas or decisions with reason. Use logic to explain things, not authority. By doing this your decisions might invite criticism, but you will also get an opportunity to improve.
【小題2】 __________
My friend’s boss made a huge mistake by tying up with an event management company. The whole purpose of the tie-up was to promote his company but it failed miserably. Instead of defending his idea and carrying on as if nothing happened, he apologized to the team for not including them in the decision making. It’s OK to admit you were wrong. You will not only gain the respect of your team mates, you will also gain credibility.
【小題3】__________
Remember the time, say in school or at work when you worked really hard but got nothing in return. Not even a thank you. It hurts when your efforts are not recognized. So every chance you get to praise someone, do it. A simple “That was some great work, keep it up,” can go a long way in making the employee feel great about themselves. A compliment can have a positive impact on their lives. Your team/family will love you for it.
【小題4】 __________
We all make mistakes, but what makes a person big is when he is ready to apologize. Don’t try to hide behind excuses: “I didn’t mean to say it, it just happened.” “I was irritated with such and such person so…” No. Don’t try to shift blame. Just come right out and say you’re sorry.
【小題5】 __________
Sometimes it is very important to stay mum. Especially when you’re angry or irritated or bitter, you don’t want to end up saying things you didn’t really mean to. So they take their time, they process their emotions, think back to what happened, and then come to a decision about how to tackle it. Before you say anything, consider other’s feelings. Never be rash with words or actions.


【小題1】B
【小題2】A
【小題3】F
【小題4】E
【小題5】D

解析試題分析：本文主要講述的是一些杰出的人所做的一些共同的事情，以此來教育我們?nèi)绻胍鰝ゴ蟮娜�，想要做杰出的人，我們就要學會這一切。

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框的A～F選項中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項，選項中有一項為多余項。
A. To meet with their friends.
B. To get working opportunities
C. To get religious freedom
D. To get away from the hardships
E. To avoid being short of food
F. To be attracted by the adventure
America is a country that was established by all the immigrants that came to settle there. The original settlers in America are the Indian-Americans who have been living there for thousands of years already, even before Christopher Columbus discovered it. Many people wonder the answer to the question why Mexican immigrants came to America.
【小題1】        
The first answer to the question, why immigrants came to America is that most of them came to be saved from getting persecuted from a religious and get freedom. The Irish immigrants were just like some of the Mexican immigrants who came because they were afraid of getting persecuted（迫害） by the England church.
【小題2】        
The second answer to the question, why Mexican immigrants came to America is to escape famine（饑荒）from Mexico. A big famine happened in the eighteenth century. A lot of people had no food and were starved to death so that they had to leave.
【小題3】         
The third answer to the question, why Mexican immigrants came to America is to find good opportunities for a job. Many workers were needed when America was starting because many infrastructures were needed to be built. Many of them became farmers and carpenters. Some of them also sent money back to their families or relatives who still remained in Mexico. This is still a situation that is happening even today.
【小題4】         
The fourth answer to the question, why Mexican immigrants came to America is that they wanted to seek adventure. Many people from other countries including Mexico had heard of the new found land and they wanted to see it for adventure. Many of them liked what they saw in America and decided to settle there permanently.
【小題5】        
The fifth answer to the question, why Mexican immigrants came to America is to be able to escape（逃避）from the hardships in Mexico. They also came to reunite with some relatives who were already living in the United States. Many Mexicans settled in Texas, Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?”    【小題1】   .
There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time.   【小題2】   . He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad（少年）offered to take his place.    【小題3】   .
   【小題4】   . If the lad had gone home to consider about his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.
Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs（美差）. When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying.     【小題5】  . And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.

A．This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.
B．People find jobs in an infinite number of ways.
C．it’s almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers
D．Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.
E. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company’s faults.
F. He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.
G. It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.

閱讀下列應用文及相關(guān)信息，并按照要求匹配信息。把答案填涂在答題卡上相應的題號的答案標號上，如答案是E把AB同時一起涂黑，如答案是F把 CD同時一起涂黑。
首先請閱讀下列六種家用電器的介紹：
A. Morphy Richards Coffee Maker
It has a programmable timer, so you can wake up to the smell coffee. The easy-clean filter(過濾器) and anti-drip device make it simple to maintain(保養(yǎng)).
B. Philips Juicers
It gives you all the juice thanks to its patented micro-mesh filter and powerful 700W motor. The extra-large feeding tube easily takes whole fruits and vegetables.
C. Panasonic Bread Makers
It is perfect for small living spaces. You’ll enjoy wonderful fresh bread at the time you choose. It has a digital 13-hour timer, which is great for cooking a loaf overnight ready for breakfast.
D. KDWTTB10 Compact Dishwasher
Stylishly designed in black, it is as good looking as it functions. It promises to leave your dishes sparklingly clean, again and again!
E. Russell Hobbs Regency Kettle
Its features: a rapid boil 3 KW concealed element for last boiling and easy cleaning; blue illumination when boiling; and double water gauges(測量儀) for ease of viewing when filling.
F. Hoover Optima 6 kg Washing Machine
It features a unique “teardrop” door design and is user-friendly, which makes laundry days a little easier. Additional features include a countdown digital display.
以下是用戶體驗，請匹配與之對應的家用電器。
【小題1】It is a great size for a small kitchen. I think its sleek black design is much more stylish than my old machine. You select the temperature setting your requirements and then shut the door and press the start button. It is very handy. It wipes clean easily as well. It also has an effective drying cycle so items are very dry. The anti flood device gives me much more security and the performance has been brilliant.
【小題2】I think it’s amazing. It looks great. It also cleans great. It has more than enough settings for all your wash needs and is extremely quiet during all washing cycle, even on the 1600 spin. With 1600 rpm speed of spin, the clothes are almost dry when they come out! It leaves the contents spotlessly clean. The big door is very handy if you want to wash duvets(羽絨服). I do love this washing machine!
【小題3】You get what you pay for and it’s not expensive. With an otherworldly light, it tells you how long the pot’s been sitting on the warmer. And after an hour, it shuts itself off. In my experience, the biggest problem is that there is no way you can make a full pot of coffee unless you like it incredibly weak.
【小題4】I have not been disappointed with it. The flip-top lid makes it easy to fill. The large transparent “window” makes it easy to see how much you are putting in—so you can choose the number of cups. It looks great, boils quickly and holds plenty of water. The blue light up display when boiling is a fun feature. I think it’s a good kettle and definitely worthy money.
【小題5】All I have to do is put the ingredients into its pan and select my type and the time when I want it finished. If you want to wake up to fresh loaf, you have to work out how many hours it will be between the time you switch it on and the time you want it to be ready. Meanwhile, the recipe that comes with it is very accurate and after three and a half hour you’ll have the most tasteful bread you ever tried.
