       There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process．People have generally viewed personal growth as an external（外在的）result or a product that can easily be identified and measured．The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．

       By contrast（對照）, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signpost or landmarks along the way．The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have, and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties．In this process, the journey never really ends, there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．

       In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may“fail”at first．How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowy, and we think we are slow to adapt（適應(yīng)）changes or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge．Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all．

       These feelings of insecurity（不安全）and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow．If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing．We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．

56．In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would________．

       A．succeed in climbing up the social ladder

       B．grow up from his own achievement

       C．face difficulties and take up challenges

       D．a(chǎn)im high and reach his goal each time

57．Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing?

       A．Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges．

       B．Jane won the first prize in the speech competition．

       C．Jeny picked up French during his stay in Paris．

       D．Father’s salary rose from 5,000 to 7,000．

58．For Personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT ________．

       A．being curious about more changes

       B．being quick in self-adapation

       C．having an open mind to new experiences

       D．staying away from failures and challenges

59．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

       A．It is not so easy to measure personal growth．

       B．To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable．

       C．There are only two ways to see a person’s growth．

       D．If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow

60．The best title for this passase should be_____________．

       A．Facing New Challenges   B．Growth—Product or Process

       C．Two Basic Ways of Growth     D．Overcoming Internal Fears

Scientists say they have discovered a promising treatment for sleeping sickness, a killer disease that infects(感染) about 60,000 people in Africa a year.

British and Canadian experts say drugs could attack the parasite（寄生蟲） causing the illness needs to survive. They say the drug could be ready for human medical test in about 18 months.

The disease, spread by the bite of a fly, is caused by a parasite attacking the central nervous system. It has similar symptoms（癥狀） to malaria（瘧疾）, making it difficult to diagnose. Left untreated, it moves to the brain, resulting in mental confusion and final death

The "breakthrough" came at the University of Dundee in Scotland, where scientists were offered money to research diseases ignored by major drugs companies.

Professor Paul Wyatt, director of the programme, said: "This is one of the most significant findings made in recent years in terms of drug discovery and development for ignored diseases."

He said the research, published in the journal Nature, represented "significant progress" in the development of a full blown drug against the disease.

The World Health Organization said there are between 50,000 and 70,000 cases of the disease a year, with a further 60 million people at risk of infection.

The research in Dundee was backed by partners at the University of York in England and the Structural Genomics Consortium in Toronto, Canada. The two drugs currently available to treat sleeping sickness both have problems. One is with side effects that kill one in 20 patients and the other is costly, only partially effective and requires long-time hospital treatment, the scientists said.

57. The word backed in the last paragraph probably means_____.

A. conducted     B. supported   C. believed    D. managed

58. What the World Health Organization said suggested that______.

A. about 60000 people died of the disease each year

B. about 60000 people were cured of the disease each year

C. 600 million people are likely to get infected

D. the disease is spreading fast in Africa    

59. We can read this passage______.

A. in the journal Nature

B. in a newspaper of the University of Dundee

C. in a book about flies

D. in a newspaper about medicine

60. We can learn from the passage that______ .

A .big drug companies play an important role in the research of the new drug

B. people who get infected with the disease are mentally disturbed

C. among 200 people infected with the disease, 5 may die because of the old drug

D.    Professor Paul Wyatt may be a professor at the University of York
