二、選擇題

（每空？ 分，共？ 分）

5、Just as the stock market rises and falls in response to what people are willing to put their money behind, we have inside ourselves an inner economy that rises and falls in response to our beliefs about what is possible. Sometimes the degree to which we are willing to challenge our belief systems determines the success of our inner economy. For example, imagine that your family of origin had a belief that musical talent was not something they possessed. As a member of that group, you would likely inherit (繼承) that same belief about yourself. As a result, even if you had a great desire to create music, you might be hesitant to really get behind yourself, fearing that your investment would not pay off. Even if you had the courage to follow your passion, your inner belief that you are not inherently talented would probably be a major drawback to investing your energy in your dream.

On the other hand, if you found a way to release that negative belief, a great flood of energy would pour forth, greatly increasing the likelihood of your success. How much energy we are willing to invest in the various ideas, dreams, and visions we carry within is like the money people are, or are not, willing to invest in the various products available for trade on the stock market. And in both cases, belief plays a key role in determining how willing we are to get behind something. One way to open up the possibility for greater success in our inner economies is to understand that belief is not the reliable guide we sometimes think. There are other more reliable things of success that we can put our faith in, such as passion, feeling, and sense. Some of the most successful investors in the stock market are the ones that go against the grain (to be something that one does not like doing), trusting their sense over the common opinion held by common people about what will work.

In the same way, we can learn to trust our heart’s desires and our sense to guide us, questioning any beliefs that stand in the way of our ability to fully invest in ourselves. As we take out energy from limiting ideas about what is possible, we free up the resources that have the power to make our inner economy prosper.

 67. We can safely conclude from the first paragraph that        .

A. our belief is not reliable.                                   

B. belief is a drawback to our success.

C. belief is not so important in our success.           

D. our belief determines our success in some way.

68. According to the passage, if a family of origin has passion for literature, the members of the family will probably        .

A. teach literature            B. hate literature        

C. write poems               D. enter the field of literature

69. We can put our faith in the following things of success except        .

A. passion          B. feeling            C. sense             D. stock market

70. The purpose of the author is        .

A. to teach us a lesson                      

B. to give us some useful suggestions

C. to tell us that our belief is not reliable    

D. to encourage us to invest in the stock market

4、Has the recent economic downturn affected your life? For many young Chinese, it has driven them to embrace a far more frugal (economical) lifestyle.

Wang Hao, 24, is a Beijing office worker. He made a resolution in June last year to limit his weekly living expenses to 100 yuan. That's the cost of eight Big Macs in China.

“The financial crisis has taught a spending lesson to young people in China, including me,” said Wang, who posted his resolution on his blog, which has drawn over 200,000 hits.

As the financial crisis affects the economy, white-collar workers speak of reducing salaries. Some are unemployed. And university students are facing the worst job prospects since China's economic reform began 30 years ago.

To save money, people have started to share dinners, houses, taxis and other activities with strangers they meet online. Web users post their activities on sites, such as www.Pinkewang.com and invite others to join them. Lin Xiongbo, the founder of Pinkewang, said his website saw a 100 percent increase of visitors last November after the global financial crisis broke out.

People are also using websites like Lin's to share other activity ideas such as training programs, sports, and entertainments.

“Sharing activities with others can save a lot of money without lowering one's quality of life,” said 27-year-old Xu Li. He's a manager at a public relations firm and a long-time user of websites like Pinkewang.

It was on the Internet that Xu recently found another person to take part in an English training program with him. By joining the program with another person, he and his partner received a 10 percent discount for the course, saving them more than 1,000 yuan.

Young Chinese born in the 80s used to be accused of being materialistic. They favored designer clothes and the latest electronic products, and many of them spent their monthly salaries rather than saving them. They became known as the "Yueguang group".

However, since the economy slowed down, this lifestyle has lost much of its charm. Now, more and more young Chinese consider saving money to be more fashionable than spending.

The frugal lifestyles these young Chinese are embracing seem to be accepted by the authorities too. In a commentary published in the People's Daily recently, the writer said frugality did not conflict with the government's demand-stimulating policies, as it called for reasonable rather than reckless spending.

“Frugal lifestyles should become a fashion, especially in the financial crisis,” said the writer Wang Jinyou.

63. The passage was written to _________.
   A. advertise a website called www.Pinkewang.com
   B. show how young Chinese are dealing with the economic situation
   C. show the life conditions of white-collar workers in China
   D. tell the readers about the economic problems China is facing

64. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Wang Hao’s blog is popular because the stories in his blog are very interesting.
B. The financial crisis began to affect Chinese people’s lives in December 2008.
C. Since the economic downturn, fast consumer lifestyles are less popular in China now.
D. The government has asked people to spend less money to fight the economic crisis.

65. According to the passage, the following are all caused by the financial crisis EXCEPT that _________.
A. a great many college students have decided not to continue their studies
B. there is less hope for college graduates to find their ideal jobs 
C. young people have to cut down their living expenses
D. some white-collar workers are out of work

66. We know from the passage that _______.
A. Xu Li will have to pay over 5,000 yuan for his training program if he attends it alone
B. the Chinese people who were born in the 1980s developed the good habit of saving money
C. the trend for young Chinese to adopt frugal lifestyles goes against current government policies

2、 

  China's third manned spacecraft lifted off at 9:10 p.m. on Thursday to accomplish its most ambitious and risky task: spacewalk.

Shenzhou VII, carrying astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng, was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province, into a clear sky.

As is the case with such tasks in China, the first few moments were tense. But then the ground control heard the voices of the astronauts. They felt "physically sound", they said to the joy of the scientists on the ground.

The astronauts will orbit the Earth for three days, 68 hours, to be precise, and one of them will walk in space about 343 km above the Earth on Saturday.

That will be China's first spacewalk and will make China the third country to conduct extra-vehicular activity (EVA) in space. The other two to have achieved that are the former Soviet Union and the US.

The timing of the spacewalk could, however, be changed, depending on how long it would take for the astronauts to adjust to all the factors. EVAs are necessary for China's long-term goal of building a space station by 2020, and possibly launching a manned task to the Moon.

The astronauts will land in central part of the Inner Mongolia autonomous region in a re-entry module on September 28th (Sunday).

The astronauts entered the spacecraft at 6:28 p.m. Thursday, checked the communication system with the ground control after reviewing the operation manual of the spaceship.

The spaceship will change its orbit around 4 a.m. today. And the astronauts will start testing and putting on the EVA spacesuits, which could take up to 15 hours.

China launched its first manned spaceship (Shenzhou V) in October 2003, and followed it up by sending Shenzhou VI two years later. But the Shenzhou VII astronauts have a greater task in hand.

56. What can we learn from the passage ?

A. This will be the third time for Chinese astronauts to have a space walk.

B. Three astronauts will walk in space on schedule to conduct EVA in space.

C. The Shenzhou-7 re-entry module will land on Saturday afternoon in central part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

D. The success of the spacewalk will be one step further towards China's longer-term goal to have a space station by 2020.

57. The underlined words “such tasks in China” in the third paragraph most probably refer to         .

A. the first human spacewalk by the former Soviet Union astronaut Alexei Leonov in 1965

B. American astronaut Neil Armstrong setting foot on the Moon in 1969

C. the first two manned spaceflights of China in 2003 and 2005

D. China's launching a manned spacecraft to the Moon

58. The main purpose of the passage is to          .

A. tell a story      B. provide evidence     C. give a report   D. compare opinions
