At an early age I could make things go my way with just a few small changes. The writers for today‟s hottest soap opera could not have created a 50 character than me.I don‟t know how long it took me to realize how I was 51 so many others. Not only did I succeed in 52 many of my closest friends by trying to control them; I also managed to destroy the most 53 relationship in my life: my relationship with my mother.My mother, who gave birth to me at age 54 he r doctor‟s wishes, would cry to me, “I waited so long for you. Don‟t ignore my help!” I would reply 55 , “I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I ever lived!”My mother began to believe I really 56 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys who I knew were 57 were always the first ones I had to date. I would try to find any way to draw attention to myself while at the same time trying to be 58 . I had also been heavy into drugs then to change my personality. And my only pleasure was to make people feel 59 . But then I asked myself why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day I couldn‟t 60 it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother‟s pained face, tired brown eyes filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter‟s rebirth of life.61 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me. I cried and asked why. She just looked down at me and said frankly, “Because you are my daughter.”62 love is the most precious gift we can give.

You'll find that the _59_ time can make for some excellent opportunities to really shine, and there's nothing like a deadline to make you more _60_!

But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people.The so-called …non-intelligence factors‟ include one‟s feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits. After a 30-year study, American psychologists 50 that the main cause of differences in intelligence is not intelligence 51 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence.52 people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don‟t pay much attention to 53 these factors .Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic factors, or laziness, but they never take into 54 these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don‟t inquire into reasons why students do 55 . They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 56 criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and 57 themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray(堕落)because they are sick of learning. An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were 58 of learning, because of examinations, 36.4 per cent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning .It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main 59 to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 60 development among a few students .If we don‟t start now to 61 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors , it will not only affect the development of the 62 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward 63 about how to cultivate students‟ non-intelligence factors. Parents and teachers should 64 understand teenage psychology . On this basis, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning, exciting their interests and toughening their willpower.50.A.came out B.found out C.made out D.worked out 51.A.in itself B.by itself C.itself D.on its own 52.A.Though B.Nevertheless C.However D.Moreover 53.A.believing B.studying C.cultivating D.developing 54.A.effect B.comment C.consideration D.preparations 55.A.poorly B.properly C.successfully D.dependently 56.A.ever B.even C.still D.more57.A.put B.get C.handle D.give 58.A.afraid B.ahead C.aware D.ashamed 59.A.difficulty B.question C.threat D.obstacle 60.A.intelligent B.characteristic C.psychological D.physical 61.A.practise B.regulate C.strengthen D.urge 62.A.intelligence B.diligence C.cultivation D.performance63.A.projects B.warnings C.suggestions D.decision 64.A.fully B.greatly C.very D.highly(10)jsymIt took brave European explorers less than 300 years, between 1420 and 1713, to establish that all the seas of the world formed an enormous and continuous ocean. This discovery encouraged them to 50 into areas which had n‟t been charted until then. With the discovery of new lands, new trade routes were 51 . In many parts of the world, colonies and settlements were established and many odd-looking products were brought back to 52 , arousing great interest and 53 wealth.It was probably the irresistible desire for wealth which 54 persuaded Europeans of the fifteenth century to 55 their legendary dangers and explore further out into the open seas. They were also 56 by the love for their country. Many explorers wanted to serve their king and country as well as gain personal 57 from their exploring.The most effective way of gaining wealth was through 58 . Silk, gold, silver and 59 stones, and more importantly spices, such as gingers and peppers, were the most profitable trade goods in Europe. Spices were of the greatest 60 because they enabled the Europeans to make their winter diet of salted meat more delicious. These items were 61 mostly from the East by a difficult overland route. The Italian 62 , who bought goods from the Arabs of Alexandria, controlled the trade along this route. Other countries of the Mediterranean 63 the wealth which this trade generated and they were 64 to discover new routes which would allow them to share in it.50. A. sail B. walk C. fly D. drive51.

Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few 51 need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful learning experience.What comes first is to keep a(n) 52 mind, because every member is equally important and everyone‟s ideas should be taken into consideration. Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. Choose a 53 on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths, so that you can perform best. Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. Mutual (相互的) support and trust often make a great difference.Activities like investigations are most 54 when done by small groups. Here are some more 55 for effective team performance during these activities: Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the 56 , and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do, take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be57 your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.When there is 58 to be done, divide the task into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very 59 way, which can make your research work more fruitful. You are encouraged to keep records of the 60 used by each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen 61 . A format (规范) for exchanging information (e.g. photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily62 . When the time comes to 63 on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group, and most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise (折中) and agreement.After you‟ve completed a task with your team, make an 64 of the team‟s effectiveness —the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.50.
