8、The world always makes way for the dreamer．

When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler． I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler  1   everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling, I  2   there feeling like I could do anything． When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to  3   people feel like that．” My father asked me  4   I meant． “I want to be a motivational （激勵(lì)人的）speaker just like Mr. Zigler,”  I replied．A 5   was born．

Having made that decision, I was immediately  18  ．One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job, and now we had no  19  ．But I held fast to my dream．The wonder really began to happen． In a short time my husband found a better job．And I was able to book several   20  engagements with new customers．I discovered the incredible power of dreams．

7、It’s not easy being a teenager-nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager．You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself． It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while making him realize that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you．

　　Expect a lot from your child, just not everything．Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion．If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind．The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up．Instead, let him attempt to solve （解決）things by himself．Show respect for your teenager’s privacy （隱私）．Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations．

　　Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family．If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time．This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation （節(jié)制）．Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job．

6、I shall never forget the night, a few years ago, when Marion J． Douglas was a student in one of my adult-education classes．He told us how tragedy had struck at his home, not once, but twice． The first time he had lost his five-year-old daughter．He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss; but, as he said, “Ten months later, God gave us another little girl and she died in five days．”

This double bereavement was almost too much to bear．“I couldn’t take it,” this father told us．“I couldn’t sleep, eat, rest or relax．My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone．” At last he went to the doctors; one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip, but neither helped． He said, “My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice（大鉗子）, and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter．” The tension of grief（悲傷） — if you have ever been paralyzed（使癱瘓）by sorrow, you know what the meant．

“But thank God, I had one child left — a four-year-old son．He gave me the solution to the problem．One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself, he asked, ‘Daddy, will you build a boat for me?’ I was in no mood to build a boat; in fact, I was in no mood to do anything．But my son is a persistent fellow! I had to give in．Building that toy boat took me about three hours．By the time it was finished, I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months! I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking． In my case, building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring．So I determined to keep busy．”

“The following night, I made a list of jobs that ought to be done．Scores of items needed to be repaired．Amazingly, I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention．During the last two years I have completed most of them．I am busy now that I have no time for worry．”

No time for worry! That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war．When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities, he said, “I am too busy．I have no time for worry．”

1．The underlined word “bereavement” in the second paragraph refers to _____．

5、Remembering names is an important social skill．Here are some ways to master it．

Recite and repeat in conversation．

    When you hear a person’s name，repeat it．Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips．You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial．

    Ask the other person to recite and repeat．

    You can let other people help you remember their names．After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you．Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names．

    Admit you don’t know．

    Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed．Most of them will feel sympathy if you say．“I’m working to remember names better．Yours is right on the tip of my tongue．What is it again?”

    Use associations．

    Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual．For example，you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair． " To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible．

     Limit the number of new names you learn at one time．

     When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names．Free yourself from remembering every one．Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names． Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names． Last names can come later．

     Go early．

     Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes．Sometimes just a few people show up on time．That's fewer names for you to remember．And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others -- an automatic（自動(dòng)的）review for you．

A．tell him the truth                             B．tell him a white lie

3．When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember ______

A．a(chǎn)ll their names                             B．a(chǎn) couple of names first

4．What does the text mainly tell us?

A．Tips on an important social skill．            B．Importance of attending parties．

C．How to make use of associations．             D．How to repeat names．

4、After ruling the tennis world for almost five years, Roger Federer is adjusting to life at NO．2．But, like any king whose throne（王冠） has been taken away, the Swiss star is already planning secretly his return to power, beginning at this week’s US Open．

The problem is, many experts think he will never do it．They blame everything from age and tough competition to his racket（球拍） and psychology．

For years Federer, 27, had enjoyed the view from the top．Competitors saw him as undefeated, and for the most part he was．However, before the 2008 season began, Federer had an illness that stole his strength and clearly affected his play on the court．Ever since, he has struggled to return to form, winning just two of his last 14 tournaments．

“Twenty-seven is an age when your body starts talking back to you．” tennis great John McEnroe told the New York Times．

Pancho Sefura, another tennis great, noted that Federer is also facing a maturing crop of young talents． “There are too many great players now,” he said, naming Britain’s Andy Murray, 21, and Latvia’s Ernests Gulbis, 20．

US magazine Sports Illustrated tennis columnist Jon Wertheim suggested that part of Federer’s problem could be his insistence on using a small racket．He says that the smaller head demands ball control．But we see time and again that racket makers try to get players to use a certain stick — one they would like to market to consumers and it has a negative effect the professional game．

Sports psychologist Jim Loehr told the Times that Federer is probably feeling “a sense of doubt” after being considered as undefeated for so long． If Federer is to recover his state of being undefeated, Loehr said he must overcome his doubt． “Federer doesn’t need fame and money．But he has to get better． He has to go to a whole new level．That’s the only way he stays in the game,” he said．

As for beginning his first Grand Slam（大滿貫） in ages as the NO．2 seed, Federer said it might be for the best． “Five years almost, I was expected to win every tournament I entered,” he said, “so maybe Rafael Nadal now feels what I had to feel for a very long time．It will be interesting to see how he handles it．”

1．What does the underlined sentence “your body starts talking back to you” in Para．4 mean?

A．Your body often argues with you．

B．You can do whatever you want．

C．Your strength is beginning to decline（衰退）．

D．You are more easily to have quite terrible diseases．

A．he is becoming older and older．

B．he insisted on using a small racket．

C．he is facing a maturing crop of young talents．

D．he had an illness that stole his strength．

3．What can be inferred from the passage?

A．Now it is Nadal who has replaced Federer as the No．1tennis player．

B．the racket makers aim at the players’ better performance in games．

C．It is impossible for Federer to return to power．

D．Federer has never won a Grand Slam before．

4．What’s the best title of the passage?
