If you’re familiar with the story of the hare (野兔) and the tortoise（烏龜）, you know that the tortoise proved that perseverance is much more important than speed. 1. , but fewer people have the patience and perseverance of the tortoise. Here are some tips that can help you to improve your perseverance.

●Set goals and write them down.

If you don’t know what you want to accomplish, it’s hard to persevere(堅(jiān)持) until you do. 2. instead of making many projects that may upset you

● 3. , and cross each step off the list as you complete it.

If you want to master the ability to cook German dishes, you’ll need to read cookbooks, study the recipes（食譜）, buy ingredients（食料） and practice making the dishes. Write down all these steps and remove each step as you go.

●Make a list of the rewards related to any project to encourage yourself to persevere.

When you want to lose 40 pounds, it may seem like a difficult goal. 4. . You can lower yourblood sugar or fit into your favorite pair of jeans（牛仔褲）. Keep those rewards in mind to encourage yourself to stick to your diet and exercise program.

●Imagine your success.

Take time each day to sit back, relax and picture the life you’ll lead once you’ve reached your goal. 5.Read them over several times a day to encourage yourself to keep going.

A. Like the hare, many people start off strong

B. Or you can write out a paragraph or two about how reaching your goal will change your life

C. You can’t lose weight only by going on a diet

D. Make a list of the steps needed to reach your goal

E. But there are big rewards for doing so

F. Choose one or two goals that are most important to you and work toward those

1.A

2.F

3.D

4.E

5.B

【解析】

1..像兔子一樣,許多人一開始強(qiáng)勁。后面的but fewer people have the patience說：但是很少人能有耐心，因此前面應(yīng)該重在說人的優(yōu)點(diǎn)做鋪墊。故選A。

2..選擇一個(gè)或兩個(gè)對(duì)你來說最重要的目標(biāo)和為此努力。后面的instead of making many projects that may upset you意思是：而不是進(jìn)行很多項(xiàng)目，這樣會(huì)讓你心煩。故猜測(cè)敲門是要表達(dá)“選擇一兩個(gè)最重要的目標(biāo)”的意思。故選F。

3..列出要達(dá)到你的目標(biāo)需要的步驟。有and cross each step off the list as you complete it.可知這部分是在講要一步一步實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的目標(biāo)。

4..但也有巨大的回報(bào)。You can lower your blood sugar or fit into your favorite pair of jeans（牛仔褲）是在介紹減肥的好處：你可以降血糖，穿你喜歡的牛仔褲。故選E

5..或者你可以寫出一段或者兩段關(guān)于達(dá)到你的目標(biāo)會(huì)怎樣改變你的生活，由Read them over several times a day to encourage yourself to keep going.可猜測(cè)前面可能與寫作有關(guān)。故選B。

考點(diǎn):考查說明文閱讀。

Dear Carol,

I wear braces (牙箍) and I know I look just terrible in them. Is there anything I can do to improve my appearance until they come off?

Connie N.

Philadelphia, PA

Dear Connie,

Start by thinking about how good you are going to look when your braces come off. If you are negative（負(fù)面的）about your appearance, people will pick that up right away about you. In the meantime there are several things that you can do to lift your spirits:

Change your hairstyle. Be sure to get a good cut so that the shape of your hair will be flattering to your face and also good for your type of hair (fine, thick, straight, curly, etc.) Choose a hairstyle that draws attention away from your face. Hair pulled back into a pony-tail or into a ball on top or slightly off-center can be attractive and practical for this purpose.

Keep skin clean. If you choose to wear makeup(化妝品), it should look natural. Blusher(腮紅) and lip gloss(潤唇膏) in light tones of peach or pink are best.

Be well-groomed(打扮). Neatness really counts. People see a total look about you before they ever become aware of your braces. And first impressions are lasting ones!

1.Why did Connie write to Carol?

A. Because she really cared about her clothes.

B. Because she cared much about her appearance.

C. Because her teeth were not good.

D. Because she didn’t know how to make up.

2.Carol’s idea about one’s appearance is that _________.

A. change your hairstyle and you will look beautiful

B. keep your skin clean and you will look good

C. neatness really counts

D. if you yourself don’t think you look smart, neither will people

3.Carol tries to let Connie know that __________.

A. the deepest impressions one leaves on others is the first ones

B. spirits are important when we talk about one’s appearance

C. there are some practical ways to draw people’s attention away from where you don’t feel good

D. all of the above

4.The underlined word “count” means “_________” in the last paragraph.

A. say numbers in order B. be important

C. not include D. be accepted

After all of these years I can still remember my first moment of kindness. 1. I walked in with my mom and was amazed at all the toys against the walls. It was like having my own tiny toy store. I smiled and immediately ran over to them and started to play. Most of the other kids were doing the same while the parents talked to the teacher before the start of the class. In the corner, though, 2. She was the only one in the class shorter than me. Her red eyes looked like she had been crying. None of the other boys and girls seemed to notice her there.

I went back to play with the toy cars but after a minute looked up at her again. 3. Something inside of my chest started to stir. I wasn’t sure what it was. Being the youngest in my family I had become a bit spoiled(嬌慣). It felt strange then to be thinking of someone other than myself, yet I couldn’t stop looking at that lonely, little girl. After a moment that stirring in my heart moved up to my mind and down to my feet. I picked up two of the toy cars and went over to her. “Do you want to play?” I asked. 4.

Many years later, she told me how she had been sick all of her life and how her illness made other kids avoid her. 5. I never thought a moment of kindness could mean so much to another one and a little bit of love could move a heart, touch a soul, and change a life.

A. She also told me how that moment of kindness had changed her life.

B. It was the first day of the kindergarten.

C. The toys were against the walls.

D. She smiled at me and nodded her head.

E. Because he was the youngest in his family and was spoiled.

F. She seemed so sad and alone.

G. I saw one girl sitting by herself.
