You may not realize it, but you do it all the time. That is, begin with the end in mind. You draw up a plan before you build a house. You read instructions before you make a cake. You create an outline before you write a paper. It’s part of life.
Let’s have a begin-with-the-end-in-mind experience by using your imagination. Find a place where you can be alone. First, clear your mind. Don’t think about anything else. Then breathe deeply, and open your brain wide. Now, let’s come to the key part of the experience. In your mind, picture someone walking toward you about half a block away. At first you can’t see who it is. As this person gets closer and closer, you suddenly realize, believe it or not, it’s you. But it’s not you today, it’s you as you’d like to be one year from now. Now think deeply. Ask yourself the following questions:
What have you done with your life over the past year? How do you feel inside? What do you look like? Has your personality grown? Remember, this is you as you would like to be one year from now.
You can go back to reality (现实) now. If you actually tried this, you probably got in touch with your deeper self. You got a feel for what’s important to you and what goals (目标) you’d like to achieve next year.
________ First, you’re at important crossroads in life, and the paths you choose now can influence you forever. Second, if you don’t decide your own future, someone else will do it for you.
As Li Ping, a middle school student in Shanghai, discovered beginning with the end in mind is a powerful way to help turn your dreams into realities:
When I feel stressed, I’ve found it really helps me. I go someplace where I can be alone, and try to see the whole picture of my dream life—and then I begin to think about what I need to get there. This method started when I was a ninth grader, and today I’m making some of those pictures in mind become a reality.
21. Why does the writer mention the examples in Paragraph 1?
A. To explain making preparations is important.
B. To show making preparations is a part of life.
C. To teach people how to make daily preparations.
D. To show how much one loves making preparations.
22. What’s the most important part of the begin-with-the-end-in-mind experience?
A. Finding a quiet place and clearing your mind. B. Taking a deep breath and opening your mind.
C. Imagining a younger self walking towards you. D. Picturing what you want to achieve in the future.
23. Which of the following is the most suitable for the ________ in Paragraph 5?
A. What can you do to realize your dream?
B. How can we start to have an end in mind?
C. Why is it important to have an end in mind?
D. Who is going to help you choose paths in life?
24. Which idea will Li Ping probably agree with?
A. Having an end in mind helps you achieve a goal.
B. Staying alone can help you deal with your stress.
C. Imagining a dream life is a way to relax your mind.
D. Creating a plan is the easiest way to realize your dream.
C
One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnection between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.
Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.
Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.
Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite of passage (通过仪式).
Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
25. According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will ________.
A. be less healthy both physically and mentally B. keep a high sense of wonder
C. be over-protected by their parents D. change wild places and creatures for the better
26. According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is ________.
A. the fault on the part of their parents B. the result of their own carelessness in play
C. the natural experience in their growing up D. the effect of their repetitive stress from computers
27. In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to ________.
A. blame children for getting lost in computer games
B. show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature
C. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment
D. inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around
28. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. In the writer’s opinion, adults can’t do anything on how to help children.
B. Adults should never allow children to use high technology.
C. It’s impossible for a child to have a wonder through a tiny outdoor experience.
D. To help develop children better, parents should help children have a close connection with nature.
D
Paper is very useful. We write on it. We make books with it. We wrap presents in colorful paper so they look pretty. Some people can also fold it to make interesting things like birds, flowers, or small works of art. But did you know paper can also be used to make toys, clothes, and even furniture?
Paper toys are certainly not a new idea. Origami paper toys for example have been around for a long time. They are made by folding paper into the shape of an animal or an object for example, a box. Then there are paper dolls; these have been around for many years too. People who do not want to make their own paper doll might want to buy one from Momot Design Studio in Korea. This company makes toy dolls that are about 13 cm tall and cost around $3 each. Some of their three-dimensional paper dolls are made to look like famous people or superheroes. They also come with watches, jewelry, hats, and other clothing items that people can take off and put back on the dolls.
Paper clothes are not just for dolls though. Paper can also be used to make clothes for people. In fact, dresses made from paper were quite popular in the USA during the 1960s. Although the initial interest in paper clothes quickly faded away, the idea did not die out completely. Paper continues to be used to make disposable clothes for doctors and hospital patients as well as disposable diapers for babies. However, nobody seemed to seriously consider paper as a fashionable material to make clothing from—until recently. Today, some fashion companies are making clothes from rice paper or traditional Asian kinds of paper. Whereas the clothes made in the 1960s were meant to be thrown away, paper clothes today can be dry cleaned and worn again and again. These paper clothes are not cheap; a woman’s paper jacket made by Gru for example can cost more than $200.
Paper is also being used to make furniture. There are companies around the world developing chairs, shelves, and cabinets from paper. The paper is formed into something that looks like a wooden board. These boards can then be cut and put together using glue to make the furniture’s shape. And the paper boards are surprisingly strong! A shelf made from paper can hold up to 45 kilograms, and unlike furniture made from wood, paper furniture can easily be lifted or moved by a child. The cost of buying shelves or cabinets made from paper boards is about the same as buying wooden shelves or cabinets that you make yourself, so the big benefit of paper furniture is not the price. Instead, the benefits are health and conservation. Most paper furniture does not include or give off bad chemicals often found in wood furniture. Paper furniture also recycles old paper, so it can help save trees, which is a great benefit for people who care about the environment.
29. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Kids Love Paper Toys B. Things Made with Paper C. Paper is Not Cheap D. Use Paper Instead of Plastic
30. What does Momot Design Studio sell?
A. Instructions for making origami. B. Paper clothes and jewelry for girls.
C. Paper boxes for gifts like dolls or dolls jewelry. D. Paper dolls and items for the dolls.
31. Which is true about paper clothes in the 1960s?
A. They were meant to be disposable. B. They were never very popular.
C. They were only for babies at that time. D. They were more expensive than normal clothes.
32. The passage does not mention paper clothes for ________
A. babies. B. doctors. C. kids. D. women.
33. Which benefit of paper furniture does the last paragraph focus on?
A How cheap it is to buy. B. How healthy it is. C. How easy it is to move around. D. How strong it is.
E
A diary is a way of writing down your memories, but it has other benefits as well. ____34____ To make diary writing an interesting part of your daily life, you can take the following tips.

Use your diary for creative writing. Most people think of a diary as a personal story. Indeed, a lot of diary writing is just that. ____38____ It works better when you don’t feel like having much to say. Some people use their diaries to write short stories or their own songs.

You may not realize it, but you do it all the time. That is, begin with the end in mind. You draw up a plan before you build a house. You read instructions before you make a cake. You create an outline before you write a paper. It’s part of life.
Let’s have a begin-with-the-end-in-mind experience by using your imagination. Find a place where you can be alone. First, clear your mind. Don’t think about anything else. Then breathe deeply, and open your brain wide. Now, let’s come to the key part of the experience. In your mind, picture someone walking toward you about half a block away. At first you can’t see who it is. As this person gets closer and closer, you suddenly realize, believe it or not, it’s you. But it’s not you today, it’s you as you’d like to be one year from now. Now think deeply. Ask yourself the following questions:
What have you done with your life over the past year? How do you feel inside? What do you look like? Has your personality grown? Remember, this is you as you would like to be one year from now.
You can go back to reality (现实) now. If you actually tried this, you probably got in touch with your deeper self. You got a feel for what’s important to you and what goals (目标) you’d like to achieve next year.
________ First, you’re at important crossroads in life, and the paths you choose now can influence you forever. Second, if you don’t decide your own future, someone else will do it for you.
As Li Ping, a middle school student in Shanghai, discovered beginning with the end in mind is a powerful way to help turn your dreams into realities:
When I feel stressed, I’ve found it really helps me. I go someplace where I can be alone, and try to see the whole picture of my dream life—and then I begin to think about what I need to get there. This method started when I was a ninth grader, and today I’m making some of those pictures in mind become a reality.
21. Why does the writer mention the examples in Paragraph 1?
A. To explain making preparations is important.
B. To show making preparations is a part of life.
C. To teach people how to make daily preparations.
D. To show how much one loves making preparations.
22. What’s the most important part of the begin-with-the-end-in-mind experience?
A. Finding a quiet place and clearing your mind. B. Taking a deep breath and opening your mind.
C. Imagining a younger self walking towards you. D. Picturing what you want to achieve in the future.
23. Which of the following is the most suitable for the ________ in Paragraph 5?
A. What can you do to realize your dream?
B. How can we start to have an end in mind?
C. Why is it important to have an end in mind?
D. Who is going to help you choose paths in life?
24. Which idea will Li Ping probably agree with?

B. Staying alone can help you deal with your stress.
C. Imagining a dream life is a way to relax your mind.
D. Creating a plan is the easiest way to realize your dream.

One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnection between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.
Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.
Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.
Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite of passage (通过仪式).
Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
25. According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will ________.
A. be less healthy both physically and mentally B. keep a high sense of wonder
C. be over-protected by their parents D. change wild places and creatures for the better
26. According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is ________.
A. the fault on the part of their parents B. the result of their own carelessness in play
C. the natural experience in their growing up D. the effect of their repetitive stress from computers
27. In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to ________.
A. blame children for getting lost in computer games
B. show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature
C. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment
D. inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around
28. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. In the writer’s opinion, adults can’t do anything on how to help children.
B. Adults should never allow children to use high technology.
C. It’s impossible for a child to have a wonder through a tiny outdoor experience.
D. To help develop children better, parents should help children have a close connection with nature.

Paper is very useful. We write on it. We make books with it. We wrap presents in colorful paper so they look pretty. Some people can also fold it to make interesting things like birds, flowers, or small works of art. But did you know paper can also be used to make toys, clothes, and even furniture?
Paper toys are certainly not a new idea. Origami paper toys for example have been around for a long time. They are made by folding paper into the shape of an animal or an object for example, a box. Then there are paper dolls; these have been around for many years too. People who do not want to make their own paper doll might want to buy one from Momot Design Studio in Korea. This company makes toy dolls that are about 13 cm tall and cost around $3 each. Some of their three-dimensional paper dolls are made to look like famous people or superheroes. They also come with watches, jewelry, hats, and other clothing items that people can take off and put back on the dolls.
Paper clothes are not just for dolls though. Paper can also be used to make clothes for people. In fact, dresses made from paper were quite popular in the USA during the 1960s. Although the initial interest in paper clothes quickly faded away, the idea did not die out completely. Paper continues to be used to make disposable clothes for doctors and hospital patients as well as disposable diapers for babies. However, nobody seemed to seriously consider paper as a fashionable material to make clothing from—until recently. Today, some fashion companies are making clothes from rice paper or traditional Asian kinds of paper. Whereas the clothes made in the 1960s were meant to be thrown away, paper clothes today can be dry cleaned and worn again and again. These paper clothes are not cheap; a woman’s paper jacket made by Gru for example can cost more than $200.
Paper is also being used to make furniture. There are companies around the world developing chairs, shelves, and cabinets from paper. The paper is formed into something that looks like a wooden board. These boards can then be cut and put together using glue to make the furniture’s shape. And the paper boards are surprisingly strong! A shelf made from paper can hold up to 45 kilograms, and unlike furniture made from wood, paper furniture can easily be lifted or moved by a child. The cost of buying shelves or cabinets made from paper boards is about the same as buying wooden shelves or cabinets that you make yourself, so the big benefit of paper furniture is not the price. Instead, the benefits are health and conservation. Most paper furniture does not include or give off bad chemicals often found in wood furniture. Paper furniture also recycles old paper, so it can help save trees, which is a great benefit for people who care about the environment.
29. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Kids Love Paper Toys B. Things Made with Paper C. Paper is Not Cheap D. Use Paper Instead of Plastic
30. What does Momot Design Studio sell?
A. Instructions for making origami. B. Paper clothes and jewelry for girls.
C. Paper boxes for gifts like dolls or dolls jewelry. D. Paper dolls and items for the dolls.
31. Which is true about paper clothes in the 1960s?
A. They were meant to be disposable. B. They were never very popular.
C. They were only for babies at that time. D. They were more expensive than normal clothes.
32. The passage does not mention paper clothes for ________
A. babies. B. doctors. C. kids. D. women.
33. Which benefit of paper furniture does the last paragraph focus on?
A. How cheap it is to buy. B. How healthy it is. C. How easy it is to move around. D. How strong it is.
