It can also be full of challenges, setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up e the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what were seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的)suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think its easier to just give up. But were never meant to let go of part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us the real us. Its the part that believes in the life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little dead inside because youre dropping you. So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through todays challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind or the minds of those close to us usually says we cant. That isnt a reason to stop, its just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. Its all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and youll be on your way.1.

Reduction of your expectations.4. What does the author intend to tell us?A. Its easier than we think to get what we want.B. Its important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C.

Their descendants(后代) in Ecuador and Chile continue to grow the vegetable as high as 14，000 feet up in the Andes Mountains. (Thats higher than any other food will grow.) Early Spanish and English explorers shipped potatoes to Europe, and they found their way to North America in the early 1600s.People eat potatoes in many waysbaked, mashed, and roasted, to name just three. However, in the United States most potatoes are eaten in the form of French fries. One fastfood chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the pany pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at these popular restaurants，it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one of these tests and the potato is rejected. To start with, only Russet Burbank potatoes are used. These Idaho potatoes have less water content than other kinds, which can have as much as 80 percent water. Once cut into “shoestrings” shapes，the potatoes are partly fried in a secret blend of oils, sprayed with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, then flash frozen for shipment to individual restaurants.Before shipping，every shoestring is measured. Forty percent of a batch must be between two and three inches long. Another 40 percent has to be over three inches. What about the 20 percent that are left in the batch? Well, a few short fries in a bag are okay，it seems.So，now that you realize the enormous size and value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes”【解题导语】本文介绍了土豆被引进美国的历史及炸薯条在美国食物产业中举足轻重的地位。1Potatoes in North America came directly from AChileBEuropeCEcuadorDthe Andes MountainsB解析：细节理解题。根据文中第一段最后一句可知，北美最早的土豆来自欧洲。故选B项。2Why does the pany pay special attention to the way the fries are prepared?ABecause selling fries is a big business.BBecause fries are not easy to prepare at all.CBecause Americans are particular about fries.DBecause the government has a strict rule for that.A解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的One fastfood chain alone sells more than $1 billion worth of fries each year. No wonder, then, that the pany pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.可知，在美国，炸薯条是个很大的行业，所以会被特殊关注。故选A项。3In the last paragraph, the writer mainly wants to say Asmall potatoes cannot be used for friesBpotatoes are really important for AmericansCeating in America is the very first thingDfries are really important for food industryD解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的内容this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes”可知，在美国，炸薯条在食品产业中不是“小土豆”(无足轻重的东西)，由此可推测，炸薯条在食品产业中占有重要的地位。故选D项。4What is the main idea of this passage?AThe average American eats 50 pounds of potatoes a year.BFrench fries are made from potatoes.CPotato is a key vegetable in America.DThe various terms for potatoes have a long history.C解析：主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知，在美国，土豆可以有多种吃法，尤其是炸薯条，深受人们的欢迎，也因此带来了强大的商业利润，在食品产业中占有重要地位。因此，本文的主旨是，在美国土豆是很重要的蔬菜。故选C项。三、七选五It is necessary to be reasonable and flexible enough to avoid conflicts as much as possible and live in peace with others._1_ If you have done all your best to avoid conflicts and you are still arguing，then read these effective tips on how to avoid conflicts.Dont get in the center of the conflict.Sometimes people can get in the center of conflicts due to their enthusiasm for offering help.Frankly speaking，it is very unwise，because it can make you the main figure of the conflict._2_ You should focus on your own life issues.Be kind._3_ Life is full of conflicts and disagreements，and thats why you should find more conservative ways of dealing with them.For example，kindness can lessen the conflict.Try to be a peacekeeper.Peacekeepers tend to cooperate with people without bad emotions which usually lead to arguments and even conflicts.“_4_” This saying is the life motto of a naturalborn peacekeeper.Dont worry if you are not a naturalborn peacekeeper；you can gain this skill during life.Walk off.When the conflict is gathering pace and you cant manage to control yourself，you should choose to handle the situation in another way.By all means，try to keep yourself away from stress._5_ You should get away from the situation for a while.AThe greatest victory is a battle not fought.BConflicts are unavoidable，so try to accept them.CWeak people usually desire others to offer help and support.DLet other people solve their problems without your presence.EIt is helpful to put some distance between yourself and the opponent.FWhen someone pushes you to the limit，try to act kindly towards this person.GArguing can either break your friendship or affect your relationship to some degree.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了几种有效避免冲突的建议。1G根据空前一句“It is necessary to be reasonable and flexible enough to avoid conflicts as much as possible and live in peace with others”可知，尽量避免冲突是十分有必要的；据此可以判断，空处承上启下，介绍冲突的严重危害，引出文章主题，故G项正确。2D根据空后一句“You should focus on your own life issues”可知，作者建议把注意力集中在自己的事情上；据此可以判断，空处建议“让其他人自己解决他们自己的问题”，故D项符合文意。3F根据该段标题“Be kind”可知，该段主要阐述“和善待人”的建议，这与F项中的“try to act kindly towards this person”照应，故F项符合文意。4A根据空后一句“This saying is the life motto of a naturalborn peacekeeper”可以判断，空处是调解人的一句格言。A项意为“最伟大的胜利是一场没有战斗的斗争”，符合文意，故A项正确。5E根据空前一句“By all means, try to keep yourself away from stress”可知，这里作者建议要远离冲突，离开对手；据此可知E项符合文意。
