Reading prehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Some children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make _51_, manage their environment, and lead rather than _52_. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, “operates under the theory of whats mine is mine and whats yours is mine,” says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star Wars Lightsabers (光剑). Later, I saw Stephen with the two _53_ ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones.” “_54_ the extended family, and youll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every _55_. Its an inheritable trait,” says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance _56_ they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other. Whether its inborn nature or developed _57_ at work, too much control in the hands of the young isnt _58_ for children or the family. Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakness” and “a desire to feel safe.” Its the parents role to provide that _59_. When a “bossy child” doesnt learn limits at home, he is to face lots of troubles _60_ the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble _61_ teachers and coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty _62_ as the top dog is no one likes your bossy ways. “I see more and more parents giving up their _63_,” says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “They bend too far because they dont want to be as _64_ as their own parents were. But they also feel less _65_about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious.51AattemptBchancesCdecisionsDmoney52AchangeBguideCinstructDfollow53AoldBusedCsmallDnew54AExamineBViewCLookDNotice55AaspectBgenerationCplaceDlevel56AwhileBevenCthoughDwhen57AcharacterBmethodCmeansDhobby58AhappyBhealthyCharmfulDuseful59AweaknessBsecretCprotectionDpressure60AoutsideBfromCuponDinside61AhelpingBobeyingCobjectingDfinding62AexcellentBconfidentClonelyDproud63AstudyBdecisionCinterestDpower64AhelpfulBstrictCpoliteDchangeable65AeagerBproudChelplessDconfidentSection BDirections: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Yu Pengnian is an 88-year-old real estate Chinese businessman. He amassed a fortune of $1.3 billion dollars during his career but instead of keeping the money and living like an emperor, he decided to give it all away. All of his fortune will be spent on helping poor Chinese students get a better education.And Yu isnt the only super-rich person in China who has this spirit of giving. Chen Guangbiao, a Jiangsu recycling tycoon, has given millions of dollars to charity and promises to give all of his money to charity when he dies. Yu and Chen are among the many businessmen who have bee prosperous during Chinas economic rise. An American business magazine, Forbes, estimates that there are 117 billionaires in China and hundreds of thousands of millionaires. What sets Yu and Chen apart from the rest, though, is their tremendous generosity when it es to donating money to charity. Last week Bill Gates and Warren Buffett came to Beijing. Gates and Buffett, two of the worlds richest men, are also the worlds biggest philanthropists. They invited fifty of Chinas richest people to have dinner with them and talk about the spirit of giving. At first, only a few people accepted their invitation. It seemed some of the invited guests were afraid that Buffett and Gates were going to pressure them into giving their wealth to charity. A lot of people are angry at the billionaires who are not willing to give away their fortunes. They criticize them for being miserly and not caring about the poor and the less fortunate. But I think this criticism is wrong. A gift, any gift, should e from the heart. Instead of criticism, these reluctant billionaires should be encouraged to follow the examples of Yu Pengnian and Chen Guangbiao. Encouragement is always a better strategy than criticism. As we say in English, “You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.”66.

However, once victory has been reached, athletes often find themselves at a crossroads, with their athletic career ending and the necessity of choosing a new path growing. For some, life after the finish line may mean a tough reality checkheading back to school. Many former athletes had such demanding training schedules that their time and attention for high school studies was extremely limited. Therefore, they may not be well-prepared for the intense demands of university.Sadly, there are numerous examples of former athletes who are having difficulty settling into their new student roles. Yang Wei, the former gymnast, and Gao Ling, the former badminton player, are among the 307 post-graduate students (研究生) who have been expelled from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Changing careers at some point during your working life is now a mon trend. Most people acquire transferable skills during their first career that prepare them for the next phase. Some athletes are able to use their fame, and find jobs in media or public speaking. Others use their experience to bee coaches, personal trainers, or venture into sport-related fields. One inspiring example is Yang Yangthe Olympic gold medal winner in short track speed skating (短道速滑). She is now an IOC (International Olympic mittee, 国际奥委会) member*. Other retirees, such as Deng Yaping*, are able to make a pletely fresh start. This former table tennis legend will soon take up her post as deputy secretary-general (副秘书长) of Peoples Daily. This raises the questionwhat makes some people so successful at change? Researchers suggest that accepting your real situation is key. You cant dwell on the past. Also, setting new goals and getting excited about these goals is very important. Of course, never forget the significance of having a positive outlook and surrounding yourself with supportive friends and family. This way, you can go for gold in anything you do!71.
