Banked ClozeUnit 1Where there is a will, there is a way. This proverb means that if you are really determined to do something, however difficult it might be, you will 1) eventually find a way to do it well. The 2) premier point is that you must have the will to achieve success. Ninety percent of the failures that occur are due to the fact that there is no strong will involved. Many people simply say that they want something, but they do not make any 3) endeavor to achieve it. So, instead of getting it, they use the poorest excuse to explain the situation away. On many occasions, people tend to 4) bypass every minute obstacle, making the objective impossible to attain. In reality, if they have the will to succeed, they can get rid of the 5) handicaps and achieve their goals. Only those with a(n) 6) committed and focused will and spirit can fight their way to final victory. Many a famous man has the same experience. They have 7) attained their prestige because they have had the will to 8) transcend apparently insuperable (无法克服的) obstacles. Many artists, statesmen, writers and inventors have manged to succeed because they possess a fierce will, which has helped them to accomplish major 9) feats. Therefore, we can see that the main thing which one needs is a strong will. Weak-willed people never climb to the top. They collapse at the 10) slightest use of force against them. Strong-willed people, on the other hand will stand up against all odds and will make it a point to succeed.有志者事竟成.这句谚语的意思是，如果你真的下定决心去做某件事，不管它多么困难，你最终会找到一种方法做好它。首要的一点是你必须有获得成功的决心。百分之九十的失败都是因为没有强有力的意志。许多人只是说他们想要什么，但他们并没有努力去实现它。所以，他们没有得到，而是用最可怜的借口来解释情况。在许多情况下，人们倾向于绕过每分钟的障碍，使目标不可能达到。事实上，如果他们有成功的意志，他们就能摆脱障碍，实现自己的目标。只有那些意志坚定、意志坚定的人才能为最终胜利而战。许多名人都有同样的经历。他们已经达到了他们的威望，因为他们已经将超越显然是无法逾越的障碍（无法克服的）。许多艺术家、政治家、作家和发明家都有巨大的成功，因为他们拥有一个强烈的意志，这帮助他们完成主要的本领。因此，我们可以看到，一个人需要的主要东西是坚强的意志。意志薄弱的人永远爬不到顶端。他们一点点地使用武力就崩溃了。意志坚强的人，在另一方面，会站起来反对一切困难，并将它成为一个成功点。Unit 2Social anxiety symptoms often begin during adolescence. Its a developmental process that is 1) characterized by profound psychological changes, especially in terms of how we relate to others. One of the most frustrating 2) aspects of the adolescent years is the tendency for self-focus and a decrease in the 3) amount of focus we have for the feelings and needs of others. While these changes are fairly universal, those of us who were born with a shy temperament (性格) can carry the adolescent fears, which may never 4) recede , into adulthood. An anxious temperament causes our brains to react forcibly when 5) exposed to the stress of sudden awareness of our peers and gradually we become more and more vulnerable. Our brains label the fear of exposure or embarrassment as highly dangerous. This may result in a(n) 6) vicious circle for many years: excessive self-consciousness and inhibition when you feel you are being observed. To cope with the problem, I would like to 7) challenge you to strive for increased focus on other people, in place of your 8) excessive focus on yourself. Yes, I know, this is easier said than done. The fear may cause you to feel that you will lose control or make a fool of yourself when you are in the spotlight (聚光灯). But if you begin to build a new response, in 9) reaction to your fears, you will gradually build up a stronger and more positive response. Remember, dont let self-consciousness 10) paralyze you! Be courageous!社交焦虑症状通常始于青春期。这是一个以深刻的心理变化为特征的发展过程，特别是在我们与他人交往的过程中。青少年时期最令人沮丧的一个方面是自我专注的倾向，以及我们对他人的感情和需求的关注程度有所下降。虽然这些变化是相当普遍的，我们这些人天生有一种害羞的气质（性格）可以把青少年的恐惧，这可能永远不会退去，到成年。焦虑的性格会使我们的大脑在突然意识到同龄人的压力时做出强有力的反应，渐渐地我们变得越来越脆弱。我们的大脑把暴露或尴尬的恐惧视为高度危险。这可能会导致多年来的恶性循环：当你感到被观察时过度的自我意识和抑制。为了应付这个问题，我想挑战你，努力把注意力集中在别人身上，而不是过分关注自己。是的，我知道，说起来容易做起来难。恐惧会使你觉得你会失去控制或出丑的当你在聚光灯下（聚光灯）。但是，如果你开始建立一个新的回应，对你的恐惧做出反应，你会逐渐建立一个更强大和更积极的反应。记住，不要让你的自我意识麻痹！要勇敢！Unit 3Audrey Hepburn was a beautiful actress and model, who became one of the most successful and well-known actresses in the film 1) domain. She was a fashion icon and role model for women all over the world, helping to 2) define a particular type of fresh, vulnerable, elfin (小精灵似的) beauty.

Why do you want to go alone? When you are living out of a backpack for a period of time, you may often get questioned why. I seldom get time to sit down and 1) contemplate the reason I travel, but I believe that you only begin to truly live once you step outside of your 2) comfort zone.

In the last decade, however, cheap credit made it too easy for people to buy houses based on pure speculation that real estate value would end-lessly continue to increase. But the housing 1) slump set off a chain reaction in our economy. Individuals and investors could no longer resell their homes for a quick profit, 2) mortgages no longer became affordable for many homeowners, and thousands of mortgages defaulted(违约), leaving investors and financial institutions to face the terrible consequences. Ironic, isnt it? Yes, it is true that credit got us into this mess. But it is also true that our economy is 3) incredibly unstable right now, and being that it is built on credit, it needs an inflow of cash or it could come 4) crashing down. This is something no one wants to see as it would 5) spread through our economy and into the world markets in a matter of hours, potentially causing a worldwide recession. Credit in and of itself is not a bad thing. Credit 6) promotes growth and jobs. Poor use of credit, however, can be 7) catastrophic which is what we are on the 8) verge of seeing now. So long as the rescue plan comes with changes to lending regulations and more 9) oversight of the industry, there is potential to 10) stabilize the market, which is what everyone wants. Whether or not it works is to be seen , but as it has already been voted on and passed, we should all hope it does.美国经济是建立在信用基础上的。然而在过去十年中，廉价的信贷，使得人们购买基于纯粹的猜测，房地产价值将无休止地继续增加房屋太容易了。但是，房地产的衰退引发了我们经济的连锁反应。个人投资者不能转售他们家快速获利，贷款不再成为负担得起的许多房主，和成千上万的抵押贷款违约（违约），使投资者和金融机构面临可怕的后果。讽刺的是，不是吗？是的，的确是信用让我们陷入困境。但是，我们的经济现在确实非常不稳定，而且它是建立在信贷基础上的，它需要现金流入，否则就会崩溃。这是没有人希望看到的，因为它将在数小时内蔓延到我们的经济和世界市场，可能导致全球经济衰退。信用本身并不是一件坏事。信贷促进增长和就业。然而，信贷的不良使用可能是灾难性的，而这正是我们现在所看到的。只要救市计划改变了贷款规则，对行业进行更多的监管，市场就有可能稳定，这是每个人都想要的。它是否有效是可以看到的，但是既然它已经被投票通过了，我们都应该希望它能成功。Unit 8Laughter is a(n) 1)automatic response to being touched by a tickle(瘙痒)-a natural response from the child. This puts the tickler in 2) charge of how much or how long the child laughs. We adults dont read childrens minds, but we often have a(n) 3) presumption that we can. So we usually think were aware of whats too much tickling and when to stop. But it is possible to trap our children without knowing it. We parents become 4) attached to tickling because it seems to be a(n) 5) handy shortcut to laughter. We wish that our children are happy and love us, and tickling becomes our shortcut to get assured. Rather than forcing laughter in this way, we can 6) confer upon them inner confidence if we will get known on the floor and invite them to be in playful physical 7) contact with us. If we find ways to give them much of the power, our children will laugh and laugh. Games like “I have a hundred hugs for you” or “Where s Jared ? I know his around here somewhere” or “Oh no! I cant get this horsy rider off my back!” let children laugh and laugh as we try to catch them, or try to find them, or try to 8) bounce them, off our backs, and fail over and over. The physical contact that requires more creativity than tickling allows us to 9) tumble around, to press our heads against their stomachs here and there for a second, and to manage an embrace before they make another daring escape. We get our affection across without trapping our children. And we give them a chance to be inventive as they use their 10) intellect to figure out a hundred ways to outsmart us.笑声是被胳肢了自动响应（瘙痒）-从孩子的自然反应。这把难事在多少或多久孩子笑荷。我们成年人不读孩子们的想法，但我们经常有一个假设，我们可以。通常我们认为我们知道的太多挠痒痒，何时停止。但不知道我们的孩子是可能的。我们的父母结缘痒痒的因为它似乎是一个方便快捷的笑声。我们希望我们的孩子是幸福的，爱我们，并成为我们的捷径可以让人放心的挠痒痒。而不是强迫笑，这样，我们可以赋予他们内在的信心，如果我们将在地板上知道，并邀请他们与我们进行有趣的身体接触。如果我们找到给他们力量的方法，我们的孩子会笑和笑。比如“我有一百个拥抱给你”或者“贾里德在哪里？”我知道他在附近某个地方！我无法把这马的骑手从我背上！“让孩子们笑，当我们试图抓住他们，或试图找到他们，或试图反弹他们，在我们的背上，并失败了一遍又一遍。身体的接触，需要比挠痒痒让我们跌倒在更多的创意，按我们的头在他们的腹部有一秒钟，又在他们做一个大胆的逃跑管理一个拥抱。我们在不影响孩子的情况下得到了我们的爱。我们给他们一个机会去发明他们使用自己的智慧，找出一百打败我们的方式。
