During my review for the medical boards, I gained 101 pounds in four months and promised to exercise when all of this was over. I successfully passed the medical boards and now I have to face the music.
One morning, I woke up and decided to go to a park to start working out. I got out of bed, washed my face, brushed my teeth and put on my sports shoes. Then I headed for the park. While going there, I decided to set a goal for myself, that, I had to finish 10 rounds before I went home.
Upon reaching the park, I joined the people in walking around the park. I was enjoying every step, breathing in fresh air, appreciating the green grass and looking at the dried leaves falling from the trees while listening to my iPod.
On my 5th round, I felt tired, hungry and thirsty. I thought of giving it up, going home and sleeping again. As the idea battled in my mind, I was reminded about the goal I had set just a while ago. I kept on walking and as I looked around, I saw myself in the midst of men and women much older than me who continued to move on. Some even suffered from a stroke(中風) that had difficulty walking, some took on small steps with a cane on hand and some took on pauses before they continued their walk but still they kept on walking.
Suddenly I realized that each of us has set our own goals in our lives, such as reaching a dream, building up a career, correcting a past mistake or starting a business. The process won’t be easy. We may encounter(遇到) a lot of difficulties and obstacles that may push us to just give up.
Amazed by the men and women whom I walked with that morning, I finished my goal in the end.
Let us be inspired with the people around us who experience the same or even a greater amount of difficulty but still don’t give up and continue until they reach their goals and now are savoring(享受) their success.
1.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Now I don’t feel like listening to my iPod.
B．Now I have to care more about my health.
C．Now I have to take physical exercise.
D．Now it is time for me to listen to music.
2.What did the author do on his way to the park?
A．He worked out a plan for his future.
B．He reflected on the causes of his overweight.
C．He decided to finish 10 rounds that morning.
D．He planned to take exercises every day.
3.When the author was walking the 5th round _____.
A．he didn’t want to continue walking
B．he found it easy to keep his promise
C．he was enjoying walking in the park
D．he was too tired to keep up with others
4.What inspired the author to finish 10 rounds that morning?
A．The goal he kept in mind. B．His strong will to keep fit.
C．The good figure he wanted. D．The people exercising in the park.

A
When you think of success, you think of relative achievements in your own world. Each element of your world is important to you, and there is no need to compare with others. You cannot affect the success of others; you can affect your own success.
Success is very much achievable to everybody. Believe that and you have taken the first step. If you do not believe in yourself, then building self-esteem is your first task. However, believing in your ability to achieve whatever you want to succeed in is very important if you are not to be held back by self-doubt throughout your journey to success.
There are many things that will affect your ability to succeed, and it is best to focus on those under your immediate control. Once you do that, then the characteristics you develop can be applied to becoming successful in a range of activities.
What is important to you is that, as you start to reach milestones in your ambitions, you should appreciate your own achievements. Appreciating yourself will strengthen your self-confidence and your determination to succeed.
Some of the key characteristics you will find in those who are successful are perseverance, prepared to research, plan, work hard and practice a lot even when things do not seem to be going well, and an ability to recover and learn from setbacks. At the beginning of whatever you are trying to succeed in, a strong vision of your future, planning, and setting yourself achievable tar gets can all play an important role.
All these qualities, skills and characteristics can be learned and developed. But it is up to you to get things started. Those who do not start travel nowhere. For others, life can be a continuous journey of fulfillment.
1.56. According to the passage, if you want to achieve success, what should you do first?
|
A．Don’t compare with others. |
B．Bring everything under control. |
|
C．Find out what you have in mind. |
D．Feel confident about your ability. |
2.57. Why should you appreciate your own achievements according to the passage?
|
A．It will allow you to recover from past failures. |
|
B．It will remind you of the vision of your future. |
|
C．It will motivate you to continue pursuing success. |
|
D．It will help you develop your characteristics in everything. |
3.58. The underlined word“setbacks”（in paragraph 5）probably means ________.
|
A．failures |
B．troubles |
C．hesitation |
D．depression |
4.59. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
|
A．If you are stuck where you are, you cannot travel far. |
|
B．If you don’t start trying, you’ll never embrace success. |
|
C．If you are brave enough, you can get whatever you want. |

科目：高中英語 來源：2010年福州八中高二下學期期末考試英語卷 題型：閱讀理解
CHICAGO ---Call it a reward, or just “bribery(賄賂)”.
Whichever it is, many parents today readily admit to buying off their children, who get goodies(好東西) for anything from behaving in a restaurant to sleeping all night in their own beds.
That’s what worries parenting experts.
“I think that reward systems have a time and a place and work really well in certain situations,” says Marcy Safyer, director of the Adelphi University Institute for Parenting.
“But what often gets lost for people is being able to figure out how to communicate to their kids that doing the thing is rewarding enough,” Safyer says.
Parents and experts alike agree that the dynamic(動力) is partly a reflection of the world we live in. It’s unrealistic to think a parent wouldn’t reward their children with material things sometimes, says Robin Lanzi, a clinical psychologist and mother of four who’s the research director at the Center on Health and Education at Georgetown University.
“But you want to make sure that they match the behavior, so it’s not something huge for something small,” Lanzi says.
She recalls hearing about a father who offered his child a Nintendo Wii game system for scoring a couple goals in a soccer game.
Elizabeth Powell, a mother of two young daughters in Austin, Texas, knows what she means.
“You want to raise them in a way that they’re respectful and appreciate things,” Powell says of her children. “But sometimes, you wonder now if kids appreciate even a new pair of shoes. ”
1.Parenting experts are worried that ____ .
|
A．today’s children are fed up with material things |
|
B．parents are rewarding their kids improperly |
|
C．today’s children are more and more demanding(苛求的) |
|
D．there is lack of communication between parents and children |
2.What Safyer says suggests that ____ .
|
A．reward systems are quite limited in developing abilities |
|
B．reward systems work well regardless of（不管） time and place |
|
C．reward systems are still not made full use of to develop abilities |
|
D．reward systems are often used at the wrong time and place |
3.What can we learn from what Robin Lanzi says?
|
A．She holds a different opinion from other parenting experts. |
|
B．She thinks children can’t behave well without being rewarded. |
|
C．She holds a similar belief to Safyer and gives further explanation. |
|
D．She doesn’t believe in rewarding children for good behavior. |
4.The father who offered his child a Nintendo Wii game system can be regarded as
_____.
|
A．over-rewarding his child |
|
B．giving his child proper reward |
|
C．respecting and appreciating his child |
|
D．giving something small for something huge |
