That would have been, Kane, a boy. Kane was the two-year-old son of Jolene, my new neighbor.At a glance Kane was a sight. Hed been born with hard sticks for legs. And on that morning I witnessed the effect that Kanes physical shortings had on his family. But I also witnessed much more than that.I saw an extraordinary family that embraced(拥抱) this special child, a family that wouldnt allow Kane to know he was different. Jolene had constructed a small cart just a few inches off the floor for his son to get around. Using his hands to move, Kane moved the cart to “go to” any place just as everyone else was able to do. Kane worked that little cart like a master. Kane was a vital focus of the entire family. He was more than just a member of the family; he was the soul. This child was the driver, the motivator, and the founder of much of the interaction.Much later in my life, I came to realize that God had sent this child to help some of us who just werent getting what love was all about. Even with my limited capacity(能力) for understanding at the time that Kane was a highly-developed spirit with great wisdom(智慧).Kane demanded attention, but not because of his mobility challenges or other apparent shortings. In his mind, he had no challenges or shortings. The truth is that he received attention because he was alive and real and had so much to offer.Kane had and still has a lot of warm and powerful energy sent to us all, so we might learn that love is beyond all things. Kane, a fragile(脆弱的) yet lovely baby, was here to teach us all an important lesson. And at the age of two he did just that.21. How did the author think of Kanes family members? A. It was ridiculous for them to make a cart for Kane. B. They were greatly brave to face all the difficulties. C. They were strange because they locked Kane at home. D. It was respectable for them to start their own business.22. How did Kane “go to” everywhere he wanted to go? A. By moving his cart with his own hands. B. By asking his father to lead him ahead with a stick. C. By asking his grandparents to push him everywhere. D. With the help of a babysitter employed for him.23. Kane needed attention because he wanted to show _. A. he could challenge his difficulties in moving B. he had challenges or shortings in his life C. he had the power to prove he was capable too D. he himself needed to be looked after by others24. What can we learn from Kanes story? A. Love me, love my dog.B. Pure gold fears no fire. C. Love is above all things. D. Many hands make light work. BFour books that will inspire you to travel the worldTheres truly nothing like travel when it es to gaining perspective(远景) and exposing yourself to other cultures.

From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship. Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countrieslike the UK or Francepeople find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an unfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary. Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly. People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.29. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _. A. develop closer relationsB. share the same cultureC. get to know each otherD. keep each other pany30. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _. A. the English prefer to make long speeches B. too many words are of no use C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature D. even talk and silence can be culturally different31. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better? A. By sharing different ways of life.B. By accepting different habits.C. By recognizing different values.D. By speaking each others languages.32. What would be the best title for the text?A. Multicultural Environment.B. Cross-Cultural Differences.C. How to Understand Each Other.D. How to Build Up a Relationship.DFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue(疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order (按字母顺序), never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the days work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I canthen let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (大英百科全书), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept ing up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince(说服) myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relieved(如释重负), I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had e up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.33. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to _. A. delay tasks B. work hard C. seek help D. accept failure34. What does the author remend doing to prevent start-up fatigue? A. Writing essays in strict order. B. Building up physical strength. C. Leaving out the toughest ideas. D. Dealing with the hardest task first.35. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue? A. Before starting a difficult task.B. When all the solutions fail. C. If the job is rather boring.D. After finding a way out.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分 ）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Of all the things that can be stolen from youyour possessions, your youth, your health, your words, your rightswhat no one can ever take from you is.How you feel about yourself.It takes a long time to learn how to NOT judge yourself through someone elses eyes. _36 .Your attitude towards life.The last of your freedoms is to choose your attitude in any given circumstance.Choose to be happy and positive.
