26、   I made my decision to start my own company and leave my stable position after attending a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a speech that changed my life. He asked us. "If genie（精灵）would grant you three wishes what would they be?" After giving us a moment to write down the three wishes, he then asked us. "Why do you need genie?" I would never forget the power I felt at that moment.

I realized that everything I had accomplished had prepared me for this moment. I was ready and did not need a genie's help to become a professional speaker.

When I tearfully told my boss my plans, this incredible leader whom I respect so much replied, "Go ahead with reckless abandon and it will pay off."

Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I quit mine, my husband was laid off（解雇）from his job. We had recently bought a new home me and needed both incomes to make the monthly mortgage payment and now we were done to no income. It was tempting to turn back to my former company, knowing they wanted me to stay, but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward rather than end up with a mouth full of "if onlys" later on. A motivational speaker was born.

When I held fast to my dream, even during the tough times, the miracles really began to happen. In a short time period my husband found a better job. We didn't miss a mortgage payment. And I was able to book several speaking engagements with new clients. I discovered the incredible power of dreams. I loved my old job, my peers and the company I left, but it was time to get on with my dream. To celebrate my success, I had a local artist paint my new office as a garden. At the top of one wall she wrote, "The world always makes way for the dreamer."

【1】What motivation did the author get from her vice-president?

A.Why she needed a genie to help realize her dream.

B.How could she realize her dream by a grantable genie.

C.She did not have to rely on a genie at all.

D.What wishes could a genie grant her.

【2】What attitude does the author's boss have to her plans?

A.Angry. B.Indifferent. C.Pitiful. D.Supportive.

【3】What happened after the couple lost their jobs?

A.The author came back to her former company.

B.They were determined and worked hard.

C.Their newly-bought house was taken back by the bank.

D.The author's former boss gave her husband a better job

【4】What does the text enlighten（启发）us?

A.Opportunity always comes to those who are prepared.

B.You will succeed as long as you stick to your dream.

C.It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him fish.

D.Helping others will benefit yourself as well.

27、   Some people say that friendship is the only channel through which human beings can ever experience the value of life. In our daily life, it is likely that you share some common interests with others — they may like the same sport, go to the same school or like the same kind of music as you do. Since you often meet them, they become your acquaintances. Although some people develop many acquaintances, only a few become their good friends in their lifetime because there are differences between acquaintances and friends.

It is said that true friendship begins when someone knows what you are really like, but still likes you anyway. A true friend shows loyalty from the very beginning of the relationship. A friend will go through challenges to help you without expecting anything in return. A “friend” today may probably become a “true friend” tomorrow when they get involved in unexpected circumstances together with you — for example, when you are going through a difficult experience and your friend is there to help you out. However, some acquaintances might leave you when you badly need their help. At this time, you can experience what true friendship is.

In our life, some people seem to go through life with plenty of friends. They may be funny or they may have a bright and pleasant personality. For these people, wherever they go, people seem to like them and welcome their company. But when they go through challenging life experiences, some of their friends are not there to help them. Therefore we can say some of their friends are not real friends and their friendship is just skin-deep.

However, others seem to go through life with no friends at all. They like to be alone, to travel by themselves or to do their own things. It’s a pity that few of these people find success in life because they have no friends. They lack the best gift in life — friendship.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following statements about acquaintances is TRUE?

A.They have all of the same interests as you do.

B.You seldom meet them in your life.

C.They are sure to become your good friends.

D.Not all of them can become your friends.

【2】According to the passage you may get to know the meaning of friendship better when you ________.

A.go to the same school as your friend

B.get into trouble

C.enjoy the same kind of music as your friend

D.see your friend often

【3】We know from the passage that ________.

A.it doesn’t matter whether one has friends or not

B.people with bright personality are easy to have friends

C.people without friends are always unhappy

D.it’s easier to lose a friend than to get one

【4】What does the underlined word “skin-deep” in the third paragraph mean?

A.Very deep. B.Not deep at all.

C.As precious as skin. D.Hidden under the skin.

【5】What’s the writer’s attitude towards people without friends in their life?

A.Interested. B.Angry.

C.Hopeful. D.Regretful.

28、   For most people， a cinema experience is not complete without a bag of popcom，but believe it or not， there’s actually a guy trying to get popcom forbidden at the theater.

Mike Shotton has never been able to enjoy himself there because his experience is always destroyed by having to bear people chewing popcorn. He finally lost his patience when he went to watch Star Wars with many children eating popcorm.

“The noise has annoyed me since I was a lttle kid，” Shotton said.“I’m the kind of person that if I hear something in the background， I focus on that until that’s all I can hear.I was really looking forward to Star Wars. I couldn’t believe the amount of noise during the film—it compltely destoyed my viewing”

So the 39-year- old started a petition （请愿） on petition-buzz. com， hoping to get nid of popcorn from cinema across the U. K.“I call on you now to stand with me， and tell others that no longer are we prepared to let this destroy our film viewing，” he said.

Unsurprisingly， his petition has only received 126 signatures so far. In fact，someone started an opposite petition in response， arguing that popcorn is an important part of a cinema experience. However， more people were in support of Shotton， and he actually won.

“My next plan is to start a further petition which， if it gets enough signatures， will mean it has to be decided by the government whether it'll be forbidden，”he said.“I’m also planning to campaign （领导运动） outside cinemas and explain to people about the petition and trying to encourage them not to buy popcorn when they go into the cinema.”It sounds great， but I think people love popcorm too much for this to actually work.

29、   The negative health effects of being economical on sleep during the week can't be reversed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.

Researchers have long known that routine sleep deprivation can cause weight gain and increase other heath risks, including diabetes. But for those who force themselves out of bed bleary-eye each weekday after too few hours of shut-eye, hope springs eternal that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and reverse any ill effects.

The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced metabolic disruption that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of insufficient sleep, those gains were wiped out when people plunged back into their same sleep-deprived schedule the next Monday.

“If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they' re gone when you go back to your routine. It's very short-lived,” said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology laboratory at the University of Colorado at Boulder, who oversaw the work. "These health effects are long-term. It's kind of like smoking once was-people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early phase of where smoking used to be. "

Michael Grandner, director of the sleep and health research program at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, said the study reinforces the concept that people need to stop thinking of sleep as a balance sheet. Imagine a person who ate nothing but cheeseburgers and frenchfries Monday through Friday, but dined only on celery and kale on the weekend and tried to call that a healthy diet, he said.

Drastically cutting calories all week and then bingeing on a giant pizza on Saturday wouldn't restore balance either. That, he argued, is essentially what people are doing when they skip sleep on weekdays with the idea they can make up for it on the weekend.

Wright said that the study suggests people should prioritize sleep-cutting out the optional "sleep stealers" such as watching television shows or spending time on electronic devices. Even when people don't have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about prioritizing sleep in the same way they would a healthy diet or exercise.

【1】Smoking is mentioned in Paragraph 4. _______.

A. as an example of short-term negative health effects

B. to show how short-lived catch-up sleep benefits are

C. to illustrate the effects of insufficient sleep on people's health

D. as a lifestyle choice causing immediate effects on people's health

【2】Those skipping sleep on weekdays and catching up sleep on weekends have the same mindset as those who believe that_____________.

A. cheeseburgers and frenchfries are healthy diets

B. Saturday pizzas contain a huge amount of calories

C. celery and kale are healthy if eaten on the weekend

D. junk food can be balanced by occasional healthy diets

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Weekend recovery sleep absolutely brings benefits to people's health.

B. To some degree, routine sleep deprivation can cause long-term health risks.

C. Valuing sleep, healthy diets and exercise help people keep fit.

D. Sleep will soon be like smoking as an unhealthy lifestyle choice.

【4】The passage is intended to___________

A. call on people to improve their sleep schedules

B. deny the health benefits of weekend recovery sleep

C. reinforce the negative effects of routine sleep deprivation

D. introduce a new study of the correlation between sleep and health
