1、 1. A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have.
Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. If we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.
2. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes only if we make a new effort. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.

25、 Once upon a time, a young man wanted to go to a village on business. Halfway there was a mountain. Before he left home, his family warned him to stay calm and climb onto trees if he was in face of beasts(野兽). In this way, the beasts couldn’t do anything to him. The young man remembered these words and began his trip.
He walked for a long time carefully and found no beasts were out there. He thought his family’s worries were unnecessary. And he became relaxed as he walked. Just at that moment, he saw a fierce(凶猛的) tiger running to him and he climbed onto a tree nearby at once.
The tiger roared(咆哮) around the tree and even jumped to reach the man. The young man was too scared to hold the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger. Full of fear, he had to hold the tiger tightly. The tiger thought that must be a giant beast. So it was afraid and started running madly.
People on the road didn’t know what happened and said, “Look at the young man. He is riding a tiger!” “Cool!” “Superman!”
Hearing these words, the young man was very angry. “Why can’t they see I’m suffering a lot? Don’t they understand I am in fear and almost scared to death?” he said to himself.
【1】How did the young man feel when he saw the tiger?
A.excited. B.scared. C.surprised. D.bored.

26、 I received a private message on Facebook. It began harmlessly enough: Hey, girl. Wanted to invite you to join in my next project—30 minutes of exercise and healthy eating. Promise to help you “LOSE WEIGHT!”
It was all becoming too much. Facebook was running my life, not me.
But what killed Facebook for me was when I posted a photo, and five minutes later my son asked me how many “likes” it got. His question was a wake-up call.
“Likes” are signs of acceptance and approval. I had forgotten that acceptance and approval need to come from within and had unknowingly set him a bad example.
I tried to remember what life was like before Facebook. Surfing the internet was an occasional (偶尔的) activity, and I spent a lot more time reading books and magazines. I checked in with friends through texts, emails and phone calls.
To recreate the simplicity (简单) of those days and set a healthier example for my son, I closed my Facebook account.
I’d been in the habit of checking Facebook many times a day, so I had to come up with some new habits. I carried a novel and a crossword puzzle book around with me. I rediscovered playing the piano. I started taking yoga classes.
I stopped looking at the world through my cellphone. I felt completely present at the moment. The break left me feeling better about myself, my family, my home and my life.
After a few weeks, I returned to Facebook. Now I look at the photos of my friends’ kids growing up and treasure how Facebook allows me to keep in touch with family far and wide. I have a look at it every day, but no longer with the need to post ideas and photos from time to time.
It is not an addiction (瘾) any more.
【1】The writer closed her Facebook because _________.
A.she wanted to set her son a good example

D.she posted photos on it but didn’t receive many “likes”
【2】What can we know about the writer?
A.She isn't interested in reading.
B.She doesn't use Facebook now.
C.Playing the piano is new to her.
D.She lived a simple life before Facebook.
【3】The writer has learned a lot from her experience except _________.
A.we should eat healthily and do more exercise
B.we ourselves should control our lives, not Facebook
C.we should use Facebook correctly to make good use of it
D.we shouldn't care too much about what other people think of us
【4】What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Future of Facebook
B.History of Facebook
C.Lessons from Facebook
27、 Some of Paul’s schoolmates learn two languages—English and French. So does Paul. As an Englishman, Paul can also speak German and Spanish. So, do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t.
The survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.
And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That’s why British people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.
In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means at school learning a foreign language is only an option. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don’t students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good results in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.
To solve this problem, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.
Changing the British attitude(态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to have a try!
【1】Which country is Paul from?
A.France. B.Germany.
C.Spain. D.The United Kingdom.
【2】According to the passage, students in Britain prefer to learn .
A.science or German B.history or science
C.French or history D.German or French
【3】What does the underlined word “option” mean in Chinese in paragraph 4?
A.选修课 B.必修课 C.实验课 D.艺术课
【4】Which of the following about the British people is TRUE?
A.They are good language learners.
B.They are famous for speaking foreign languages.
C.More than half of them only speak English.
D.56% of them speak at least one foreign language.
【5】What is the best title of the passage?
A.English Speaking B.Young English Learners
C.Schools in England D.Language Learning in Britain
28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给)
How can you be sure that you know w【1】 you know? That may sound silly but it’s really a serious question. Have you ever “thought” you knew something but when it came time to write in the exam you discovered that you r【2】 didn’t “know” it, after all.
Strategies (策略) you can use
When that happens, it isn’t because you have a bad memory, it’s because the things you are trying to r【3】 haven’t been properly learned.
Luckily, there are strategies you can use to help you learn difficult things. And scientists say that there is even a part of your brain that can “predict” whether this new knowledge has been completely u【4】.
Judgement of learning
Scientists call this predicting, the “judgement of learning”. It really just means looking over your own shoulder w【5】 you are studying and asking yourself, “Do I really get this?” And if you don’t, it means adjusting your “strategy” until you do.
Here’s one strategy:
Set a short-term goal to learn something.
Study as you normally would.
Answer some test questions to g【6】 some feedback.
Use that feedback to work on your weak points.
In the driver’s seat
Developing the ability to “judge” your own learning needs a lot of p【7】. But it can be a very useful skill. It puts you in the driver’s seat and in charge of your own studies. In effect, it lets you know that you really know what you think you know. You know?
