But when I grew up I finally realized that the message behind his words is that we see what we want to see.Psychologists tell us that nothing controls our lives more thanour self image. We live like the person we see in the mirror. We are what we think we are. If you don’t think you will be successful, you will not. You cannot be it, if you cannot see it. Your life islimited to your vision. If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life.Arnold Schwarzenegger was not that famous in 1976 when he metwith a newspaper reporter. The repo rter asked Schwarzenegger: “Now that you have retired from bodybuilding, what do you plan to donext” Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and confidently: “I am going to be the best movie star in Hollywood.” The reporter was shocked and amused at Schwarzen egger’s plan. At that time, it was very hard to imagine how this muscle-bound bodybuilder, who was not a professional actor and who spoke poor English with a strong Austrian accent, could ever hope to be Hollywood’s best movie star!So the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planned to make his dream come true. Schwarzenegger answered: “I will do it the same way I became the best bodybuilder in the world. What I do is to create a vision of who I want to be; then I start living like person in mymind as if it were already true.”Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn’t it But it worked! Schwarzenegger did become the highest paid movie star in Hollywood! And later he achieved another of his goals – to start his political career and served the people of Calif ornia as the state’s 38th governor from 2003 to 2010! Remember: “If you can see it, you can be it!11.What does it mean by“What you see is what you get”A.When you look at something long enough, you will eventuallyget it.B.You can move a tree by looking at it.C.You can only get what you can see.D.Only when you have a strong wish to get something can youhave a clear vision of the future.12.What can you learn about ‘self image’ from psychologists.A.Self image is the self we see in the mirror.B.Self image is what we think about ourselves.C.Self image is what we want to see about the self in themirror.D.Self image is about what we think others might think ofourselves.13.According to the author, if you want to become a certain type ofperson, you needto __________.A.often look at yourself in the mirrorB.think twice before you actC.build a strong determination about whom or what you want tobecomeD.change your vision of your life14.Which of the following statements is NOT true aboutSchwarzeneggerA.He was not that famous in 1976.B.He used to be a successful bodybuilder.C.He was a professional actor.D.He was the President of the United States of America.15.What message does the author want to convey to the readersA.Everyone should see what he gets.B.Everyone should create a positive vision about his life.C.Everyone should pay attention to his self image.D.Everyone should learn from Arnold Schwarzenegger.Passage TwoDo other animals besides humans cryThe answer to the question is ‘Yes, and no’. All animals with mobile eyes have the ability to cry, just as we humans do. They have a tearing system that keeps their eyes wet so as to protect them from dry sand, dusts, and other elements. People often tell tales of animals such as elephants and dogs weeping when punished. However, even if such an animal does shed tears, there is no scientific evidence that the animal is expressing the tear-related emotions similar to those when humans cry.But what about when a baby chimp or ape whimpers and screams when it’s being separated from its mother, can we say with some certainty that the animal is crying Taking away the babies does encourage care-giving such as feeding and protecting from the mother apes, but it is uncertain whether the baby apes feel the same way as baby humans do when they cry.In fact, it’s not clear that crying and other emotional displays mean exactly the same thing to all humans. For instance, there is awide range of emotions that prompt people to cry, and some kinds of weeping, such as crying at a stranger’s wedding, seem to be cultural responses.In addition, some people are autistic. That means they prefer being alone than being with other people, especially in large crowds. These people are said to have less ability in expressing their emotions, but research also has shown that it’s more that their expressions and their reactions to the emotional expressions of others are unusual. Different. But does that mean that their sadness is different somehowSo even if apes can be said with some certainty to be feeling emotions, then there is the problem of figuring out to what extent what they feel resembles what humans feel.16.What does the author mean by“Yes, and no”in line 1, paragraph1A.Other animals besides humans cryB.No other animals besides humans cryC.Animals cry but do not cry like humansD.Animals cry but humans do not cry17.Which of the following statement is trueA.All animals have mobile eyesB.All animals have a tearing systemC.Tearing system keeps animals’ eyes wetD.Animals cry when being punished18.Baby chimps or apes cry because__________.A.they are being separated from their mothersB.the reason is not clearC.they feel the same way as baby humans doD.they need to be fed and protected19.Why human beings cryA.There a wide range of reasons.B.People cry because they attend a stranger’s wedding.C.Crying means exactly the same thing to all humans.D.Because of cultural responses.20.It can be inferred from the passage that__________.A.it is uncertain to say to what extent apes feel the sameemotions as humansB.it is sure that apes can feel emotionsC.some people prefer being alone because they’re not good atcommunicationD.people’s emotions are differentPassage ThreeDistance learning is a program that allows students to take classes online.Online classes offer on-campus classes, with the convenience of working at home, and the flexibility of creating your own schedule.Anna attends her online class in her pajamas. She gets away with it because her classroom is in her home. Anna is a full-time student learning from distance, and full time mother. She likes the online option becau se of its flexibility. “I don’t have to sit in classwith my two little ones in day care. Instead, I can jump online anytime I like during the day,” said Anna who is preparing for a nursing degree. “What I liked most was the fact that I didn’t haveto trav el to another place, and I could work at my own place,” she said in an e-mail.Online students must be organized. Self-discipline and motivation are also important. Diana is a math instructor who has been teachingonline classes for five and a half years. She had students who participated from far way. Many are returning students who have been working. They are focused on their goals, and are comfortable working hard.Taking classes online can have some unexpected benefits. For instance, the need to communicate questions by e-mail compels students to become better written communicators.Also, you don’t have to worry about appearance. Michael, a current online student, said in an e-mail, “I can just roll out of bed and not worry about how messy my hair is.”Anna included not having to fight for parking or paying for gas as added tuition fee.Taking classes online does have some drawbacks. Students complain about the difficulties of communicating online. Instructors complain about the students’ ability t o use digital media.Online classes can end up taking more time than on-campus versions. “An online student should expect to spend at least 15 hours a week working on their assignments,” said Diana the math teacher.
