26、A character in one of Shakespeare's plays once said, "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Any of these could apply to the modern day sportsmen. Many still argue about the nature of talent. Some claim that people are born to be sportsmen, while others say it is only through devotion and hard work that they achieve their abilities. Arguably though, it is not until their talents are acknowledged by the public that they truly have greatness fallen upon them.

With this acknowledgement of their "greatness" come all the trappings of modern day celebrity：money, power, influence and responsibility. For better or for worse, like it or hate it, modern sportsmen are the role models of children everywhere. These children will grow up admiring their heroes, devoting their lives to copying their every move, and wanting above all to be like them. Due to this fascination，particularly with the massive influence of the media, it is more important than ever for these sportsmen to acknowledge their responsibility.

In the past few months alone, there have been many examples of questionable behaviors from sports icons. Sport stars of the present day are often mirroring the very worst aspects of society, a fact that the self-righteous(自以为是的) anger of the modern press has been quick to point out. It would be wrong for us to expect sportsmen to be saints. It would also be wrong for us to think that their behavior is markedly different from the sportsmen they grew up watching, but with the all-seeing eye of modern media it is a different world，and different standards must be expected.

Of course there is no obligation for sportsmen to be good role models. There are no prison sentences, no fines, no community service—unless their behaviors are illegal. Unless they break the law, it is entirely up to them as to whether or not they think their behavior is appropriate. Furthermore, measuring the true influence their decisions have on their followers is absolutely impossible. Some will rise against their idols, seeing them in a new light and condemning their actions. Others may copy their heroes' actions, using them as a shield when accused of the same crimes.

It is undeniable that the actions of sportsmen will influence the lives of those who worship them. Modern day sportsmen are almost ideals of today's world, and their actions are watched carefully by millions over the world. Some may complain against it, denying their influence on these children's lives. Others may be aware of it but not respect it, while many may both be aware of it and respect it. In a word, you do not choose whether you are a role model. All you can do is to decide how to act when greatness is thrust upon you.

A．sportsmen become great when their gifts are recognized by people

B．sportsmen achieve greatness through their devotion and efforts

C．different ways for sportsmen to achieve success and greatness

A．role models usually have positive influence on their fans

B．sportsmen have the right to behave freely within the law

C．all the fans will follow their heroes' actions

D．no obligation is given to sportsmen

【3】The underlined phrase thrust upon most probably means________.

A．palled off

B．removed from

C．related to

D．forced on

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To advise the media to choose proper events to report.

B．To inform the public that sportsmen are no role models.

C．To remind the sportsmen of their social responsibilities.

D．To argue that sportsmen should not be expected as herons.

27、How to Live in the Moment

Living in the moment is not always easy. Sometimes our thoughts are occupied by regrets about past events or anxiety about the future.【1】, there are some simple strategies that may help.

Start small. While you might want to completely overhaul(改造) your lifestyle, it is not necessary to make big changes to start living in the moment. Start by joining new habits one at a time. Once you feel like you have mastered a habit, add something else. For example, instead of trying to meditate(冥想) for 20 minutes per day right away, start by trying to meditate for three minutes per day.【2】.

Redirect your mind when it wanders. It is normal for your mind to wander.【3】. When you notice that your mind is wandering, use gentle redirection to focus on the present again. Acknowledge that your mind is wandering without judging yourself for doing so.

【4】. Having to wait for something can be annoying, but if you want to live in the moment, you will need to learn how to think of waiting as a good thing. Instead of becoming impatient when you have to wait for something, practise being grateful for the extra time to notice your surroundings. Treat the extra time as a break and appreciate the time.

Smile and laugh more often.【5】. Instead, smiling and laughing can make you feel better even if you force yourself to smile and laugh. If you find that you are not focused on the present because you feel unhappy, force yourself to smile and laugh a bit. Even if you put on a fake(假的) smile and laugh in a silly way, you should start to feel better right away.

A．Be grateful for breaks

B．If you are having a hard time living in the moment

C．If you find you are having a hard time, close your eyes

D．Then, increase your time as you become more comfortable

E．Living in the moment can be a challenge if you are in a bad mood

F．Practise being thankful for who you are and how you are feeling in the moment

G．However, in order to live in the moment, you need to keep your mind focused on the present

28、   After years of observing human nature, I have decided that two qualities make the difference between men of great achievement and men of average performance curiosity and discontent, I have never known an outstanding man who lacked either. And I have never known an average man who had both. The two belong together.

Together, these deep human urges count for much more that ambition. Galileo was not merely ambitious when he dropped objects of varying weights from the Leaning Tower at Pisa and timed their fall to the ground. Like Galileo, all the great names in history were curious and asked in discontent, “Why? Why? Why?”

Fortunately, curiosity and discontent don't have to be learned. We are born with them and need only recapture them.

“The great man,” said Mencius “is he who does not lose his child's heart,” Yet most of us do lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging custom. We just follow the crowd. And the crowd desires restful average. It encourages us to occupy our own little corner, to avoid foolish leaps into the dark, to be satisfied.

Most of us meet new people and new ideas, with hesitation. But once having met and liked them, we think how terrible it would have been, had we missed the chance. We will probably have to force ourselves to waken our curiosity and discontent and keep them awake.

How should you start? Modestly, so as not to become discouraged. I think of one friend who couldn't arrange flowers to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. Now she is one of the experts, writing books on flower arrangement.

One way to begin is to answer your own excuses. You haven't any special ability? Most people don't. There are only a few geniuses. You haven't any time? That's good, because it's always the people with no time who get things done. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom's Cabin while cooking. You're too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.

However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, for you'll never be more alive than you are at this moment.

【1】In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to________

A．propose a definition

B．make a comparison

C．present an argument

D．reach a conclusion

【2】What does the example of Galileo tell us?

A．Trial and error leads to the finding of truth

B．Greatness comes from a lasting desire to explore

C．Creativity results from challenging authority.

D．Scientists tend to be curious and ambitious.

【3】What could be the best title or the passage?

A．Curious Minds Never Feel Contented

B．Reflections on Human Nature

C．The Keys to Achievement

D．Never Too Late to Learn

29、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

What do the world’s most successful people all have in common?By examining the work habits of over 150 greatest writers and artists and scientists, the researchers including Standford Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer found that high achievers like Robert Moses turn out to be all alike:Busy ! Busy!【1】In a study of general managers in industry, John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per week—which translates into at least six 10-hour days. The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures. Energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power.Just Say No!The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almost everything. And that’s what gives them the time to accomplish so much.【2】And focus means saying “no” to a lot of distractions (分神). Know What You Are!Ignore your weakness and keep improving your strengths. Don’t waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence. Instead, focus on—and build on—your strengths.【3】Create Good Luck!Luck is not magical—there is a science to it. Richard Wiseman studied lucky people for his book Luck Factor, and broke down what they do right.【4】By being more outgoing, open to new ideas, following the feeling that something is true, being optimistic, lucky people create possibilities.Does applying these principles to your life actually work? Wiseman created a “luck school” to test the ideas—and it was a success. In total, 80 percent of people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased.【5】
