Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. Theyll say, This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it. Of course not! You dont have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors. I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, es back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows. Huh! Is this what she calls doing her best? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting(运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams. Remember that you reap what you sow. You just dont sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Dont expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, dont just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. Its not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.If someones life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, dont just stand (or sit ) there, do something to improve your life.36. According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life _. A.

A fresh powder had fallen the night before, and everything was frosted white. We couldnt have asked for more perfect conditions. The sun sparkled (闪光) on the snow, and the trails (路线) were pletely empty not another person or snowmobile in sight. We were thrilled at being the only people for miles around until we got going. As we drove through the deserted wilderness (荒野), my excitement became stone-cold fear. I had no idea what I was afraid of, or why I was afraid, but suddenly every turn, every hill, every steep (陡峭的) side of the mountain scared me to death. I kept picturing us crashing headlong into a tree or falling off the side of a drop. u But after lunch things changed. We were the only humans who had been there since the snowfall. The peaceful place, the incredible beauty of the landscape, and the almost sacred experience of sharing a mountain with the wildlife touched my very core (核心). My mind cleared and quieted and my muscles relaxed. As we drove the last leg of the run, I began to resent being afraid to drive. Deep down, I wanted to be in charge of the thing that scared me. It made me angry that fear was keeping me from something I really wanted to do. The day was ing to an end, and the resort was only a few miles away. I knew that if I didnt take my chance now, I would regret it. I signaled for my husband to pull over. I wanted to drive, although my heart pounded (重击). I stared off slowly and felt the wind in my face. I smiled and sped up a little. I let out a “Yee-haw!” and went full out, taking my husband on the best ride of the day. We ended the day on that breathless, carefree, and I felt proud of myself proud of overing my fear.46.What is the story mainly about? A. What the author loves about snowmobiling. B.

DRecreational tree climbing is taking root in the ecotourism industry, and its sending guys like Tim Kovar to far off reaches of the globe. Kovar, a tree-climbing instructor, recently returned to the U.S. from Brazil, where he spent time developing a tree-climbing operation thanks to the slow travel movement. Slow travel, is like the slow food movement, the practice of giving fast food in favor of homegrown cookingthe kind that takes hours to prepare and enjoy. Likewise, slow travel urges visitors to experience a places natural surroundings and learn about the ecology in a way not afforded by extreme games. Tree climbing is a slow activity, says Kovar. Its not something you do quickly and then youre on to the next thing or event. There is no such thing as a quick climb, especially for beginners. This wasnt a race against the clock or the fellow climbers. In fact, tree climbing is unlikely to ever bee a feature of the extreme games. Many climbers refuse petition. There has already been so much petition in the world.When you stand below the tree, it can be amazing, Rusel DeMaria says, looking affectionately up at Michaels Triumph, a 150-foot-tall tree. But reaching the treetop, he adds, is an entirely different feeling. Likewise, his wife, Viola Brumbaugh, kneels on the ground and asks Michaels Triumph for permission to climb. It goes a lot smoother that way, She says.And climbing has been included into many educational programs. New Tribe offers guided climbs through its school, Tree Climbing Northwest, where we teach enough tree biology and forest ecology to raise awareness in our students, says New Tribe present Sophis Sparks. We know that the tree climbing experience deepens personal appreciation for trees. After climbing, people value trees more and are motivated to support preservation. This is not just to preserve their playground. Perhaps that is why he struggles with the term recreational tree climbing, saying, I prefer to call it inspirational tree climbing.51.

Brumbaugh kneels on the ground before climbing trees to _.A. beg for the safety of climbing B. Expect to climb faster than her husband C. Show respect for the tree D. ask for permission of her husband 54. Sophia Sparks prefers the term inspirational tree climbing because it _.A. provide people with more chances to play outsideB. bring a lot of pleasure to life C.
