Why are some people more successful than others? Why do some people make more money, live happier lives and achieve much more in the same number of years than most people?
Over the years, I have read thousands of books and articles on the subjects of success and achievement. It seems that the reasons for those achievements have been discussed for more than two thousand years, in every way. But one thing that most experts agree on is self-discipline (自律).
Some years ago, I attended a meeting in New York. I happened to meet a gentleman. His name was Kopmcyer. He was famous in the field of success and achievement. He had written four books, and each of them had 250 success principles (原則) had developed these during more than 50 years of research and study. I had read all of his books more than once.
Luckily, I had a chance to talk with him. I asked him a question that many people would ask, "Of all the one thousand success principles you have discovered, which is the most important?”
He smiled at me as if he had been asked this question many times, and replied without thinking twice, "There are 999 different success principles, but without self-discipline, none of them work." He went on, saying, "Many years ago, Thomas Huxley said the most important success principle is, ' Do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.' ”
Self-discipline is magic because it opens all doors for you, and makes everything else possible.
61. How did the writer learn about the key to success?
A. By reading a lot of books. B. By attending some meetings.
C. By asking some questions. D. By doing some research.
62. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The subject of success was new to many people.
B. Kopmeyer developed one thousand success principles.
C. The writer asked Kopmeyer a special question.
D. Kopmeyer wasn’t interested in the writer’s question.
63. What can open all doors in your life?
A. Having more chances. B. Working hard.
C. Self-discipline. D. Working in a team.
64. What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. Push yourself to do things even if you don’t want to.
B. Plan everything carefully and don’ t make any mistakes.
C. Set a smile and you will find that nothing is impossible.
D. Choose what you like and give up what you don’t like.
65. The best title for this passage would be “ ”.
A. When You Can Succeed B. A Special Question
C. The Key to Success D. Everything Is Possible
C

Have you had a headache during a test? Have you ever been so worried about something that you have a headache or even can’t sleep at night? If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, sad, scared, or afraid—all of which can give you a stomachache or a headache.
However, there are different kinds of stress. Some kinds of stress are good and others are bad. Good stress might happen when you’re called to answer questions in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare better before the test.
On the other hand, bad stress can happen if the stress lasts too long. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is sick, if you’re having problems at school, or if anything else makes you unhappy every day. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you. And it can actually make you sick.
The best way to fight the stress is to have a balanced life. Make sure you keep yourself in mind: Sleep, Exercise, and Food. If you get enough sleep and eat properly, and if you exercise and leave time for fun, you’ll probably feel less stressed.

Which hand do you use when you write? About 8 to 15 percent of people are left handed. They often have to use tools that are designed for right-handed people. So it is difficult for left-handers to use most tools. If you are right handed, try this experiment: Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Don’t be surprised if you feel awkward (彆扭的).
In the past, people thought it was strange to use the left hand. Young students looked down upon their left-handed classmates. Some children were even punished for using their left hand to write. But these days parents and teachers have accepted that. In almost every school in the world, left-handed students can use their left hands to write.
What causes people to be left handed or right handed? Experts have searched long and hard on this. They concluded (得出結論) that left-handed people are left handed for the same reason that right-handed people are right handed. One out of every ten people just is a left-hander. It’s simply like the color of our eyes—some people have brown eyes, while some others have black eyes.
However, many researchers think that left-handers and right-handers are different in some aspects. Right-handers are more talkative and outgoing than left-handers. Many right-handed people understand spoken words better. For example, after they listen to directions to a supermarket, they can find it easily. Right-handers are good at organizing people, too. They are also better basketball guards. Just ask Yao Ming.
Research shows that left-handers are creative and artistic. Many famous performers are left handed. Many left-handers learn better visually (在視覺方面). In art, both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were left handed. In music, Ludwig van Beethoven was left handed. In science, you find Newton and Einstein. The left-handed people are also really good at tennis and other single sports.
If you prefer one hand, but you are still good at writing with the other, you are mixed handed. Research shows mixed-handers can remember everyday things better than other people. What did you eat for lunch two weeks ago? If you’re mixed handed, you can probably remember.

One day, I took an underground to work, I saw something that made me very sad. On the tube( underground in London), a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her daughter sitting beside her. The little girl, about 5 years old, was talking to her mother about her day, repeating the next stop's name cheerfully, praising her mother's long nails--trying to catch her mother's attention. Her mother just nodded and answered "Mm, hm" with her eyes glued to the screen, busy passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her, but it was no use. Then the little girl turned silent. It was a shame the mother didn't notice that.
It broke my heart and got me wondering--what kind of game would make the mother forget she has the most beautiful thing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves with all her heart? What it meant when she couldn't look into her daughter's eyes and even stop to listen to the girl?
Some parents are almost like the teenagers, always on their phones with mindless games or going through Facebook. Perhaps parents have many things to deal with, but sometimes they are everything to their kids.
This is not a isolated example. I've seen too many such examples. I might not be a parent myself, and probably still have a long way before becoming one, but I know what I saw isn't right.
The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained(抱怨) how their children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has changed! The parents have become "technology slaves"(奴隸), that is to say, they can't control themselves while using mobile phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones, which are probably the only two brands they know. They are playing the simple games with their expensive mobile phones. I'm uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes.
52 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The girl failed to catch her mother's attention.
B. The mother felt sorry after her daughter turned silent.
C. The writer has much experience about being a parent.
D. Middle-aged parents know many brands of mobile phones.
53. The underlined word "isolated" in Paragraph 4 means____________ .
A. spreading fast B. happening once C. increasing quickly D. appearing suddenly
54. In the passage, the writer mainly wants to express_____________ .
A. the worries that children are crazy about mobile phones
B. the happiness that parents are now able to use modern technology
C. the sadness that the best smart phones cost parents too much money
D. the hope that parents use new technology like smart phones properly
55. What's the best title of the passage?
A. Middle-aged parents B. A scene on the tube
C. Technology slaves D. Mindless phone games

I have lived in France for nine years, but I cannot walk down the street without being recognized(認出) as an Englishman from 50 metres away before I open my mouth. Why?
In France, the quickest way to recognize an Englishman is that he'll be the one with the belly(肚子) and the shirt hanging out. Englishmen often wear shapeless black T-shirts, either too big or too small. However. Frenchmen are more formal in dressing. Their T-shirts have collars(領子). Shorts have buttons and zips rather than drawstrings(拉繩). Shoes look expensive.
Englishmen think of lunchtime as 1 p.m. but for Frenchmen it is 12 o'clock, one hour earlier. This may explain the sad looks if an Englishman arrives at a local restaurant at 1:30 p.m. At that time most restaurants don't have waiters. All the cooking and serving may be done by the boss and his wife. When you arc shown to your table, just sit there and wait. Don't wave your hands to the waiters. Englishmen think guests should do something to make the waiters pay attention to them. But in France some bread and water will come first, then the waiters will take your order according to the rhythm(節奏) of the restaurant. Have enough patience!
Some 72 between Englishmen and Frenchmen
Frenchmen Englishmen
Dressing ● wear T-shirts with collars
● wear shorts with buttons and zips
● wear shoes which 73 much ● wear T-shirts which are shapeless
● wear shorts mostly with drawstrings
● wear shoes which may be cheap
Lunch ● have lunch at noon
● follow the rhythm of the restaurant ● have lunch at or after 1 pm
● do something to attract the
74 attention
Conclusion ● Englishmen wear 75 formal clothes than Frenchmen.
● Englishmen can’t be 76 enough for meals while Frenchmen can.

Growing Healthier and Happier
I’d like to talk about teenage lifestyles today. According to the survey, some teenagers don’t have healthy lifestyles. They spend too much time playing games and often stay up late. Some teenagers feel stressed. Some prefer chatting with friends to communicating with their families. The survey also shows that some teenagers hardly take any exercise. Some even have health problems. For example, many of them have poor eyesight. To solve these problems, I think teenagers should change their unhealthy lifestyles, such as giving up games and spending more time with families. I also think teenagers should do more exercise to keep fit. In this way, we can live a healthier and happier life.

The best way of learning a language is using it. The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can’t understand them. But if you keep your sense of humour, you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don’t be sad if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. It’s better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you. The most important thing for learning English is ："Don’t be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes."
聽第二篇短文，回答第16至20小題。
