As people say, you can’t change the environment, but you can change your own. You can’t change the facts, but you can change attitudes (态度). You can’t control other people, but you can be master of your own. You can’t do everything well, but you can be careful with everything. You can’t control the weather, but you can change your mood. You can’t choose what you look like, but you can show a smile.
One key to success lies in his or her mind. There are some differences between winners and losers. Winners always think troubles and difficulties are caused by personal ability and experience. They would like to improve and develop in the right direction. While losers will blame on the opportunity (机会), and the environment injustice (不公). They always complain, wait and give up.
In many cases, a humble (出身卑微的) person looks down upon his own. A person’s appearance and his family may not be changed, but he can control the spirit of the will of his own at least. If he can’t deal with the mind, how can he deal with more difficult things?
No matter what the situation is, a person’s attitude is very important. Emerson said, “A move toward their goals is always people who gave him the whole world to give way.” On the contrary (相反), failure is not because we do not have the strength, but because we can’t stick to ourselves, and always follow others’ examples.
We should believe the strength of mind, and change our attitude when we face disappointments (失望) in life. I believe the power of mind, and now it’s up to you to make the final decision.
49. Although people can’t do everything well, they can choose to ________.
A. be master of their own B. control other people C. change the environment D. be careful with everything
50. The differences between winners and losers are ________.
A. their chances B. their families C. their minds D. their jobs
51. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Follow Other’s Examples B. Believe the Power of Mind C. Have Your Strength D. Improve the Environment
(C)

The phone call came on next Monday. “This is Mrs. Dexter calling from the Football Academy. We’ve got the results of your test...” Gary fell silent. After a while, “I’ll be there,” said Gary excitedly, “and I won’t be late!”

In the far north of Europe, there is a country called Finland (芬兰), which is famous for its unique culture, beautiful natural view, and outstanding social achievements. In the Finnish culture, there is a spiritual power called “sisu” that runs through the lives of the Finns (芬兰人) and is an important part of the national character. The sisu spirit helps the Finns work through difficulties to make great achievements.
“Sisu” is a Finnish word that cannot be fully translated into a precise Chinese word. Maybe you can explain it as “perseverance” (坚持不懈). The New York Times describes sisu as the word that explains Finland, the Finns’ favorite word and the most wonderful of all their words.
The Finns loves sisu so much that they often use the word name many things in their daily life. There are sisu cars, sisu sweets and the big icebreaker MS Sisu. A mountain was even named Mount Sisu in 1997.
You can also see sisu when the Finns do business. Just a few years ago, Nokia was still the world’s leading cellphone company and the pride of Finland. Later, smartphones from Apple and Sumsung beat Nokia. But the Finns didn’t stop their hard work. Many high-technology companies are rising from Nokia’s ashes (灰烬). Finland has now become a mobile game leader. Popular games Angry Birds and Clash of Clans are both from Finland.
“We’ve had this idea of sisu for about 600 years in our culture”, Emilia Lahti, who researches sisu at Aalto University in Finland, told the Business Insider, “It is not so much about achievements, but it is about facing challenges with courage.” In today’s era, the Sisu spirit still has important value and significance (意义). It is not only a precious treasure of the Finnish nation but also provides people all over the world with a positive attitude towards life and values.
The important ____81____ —— sisu
Country
It comes from the Northern ____82____ country, Finland.
____83____
In the culture of Finland, the Finns have had the idea of sisu for about 600 years.
How to ____84____ it

Deep meaning
“sisu” spirit is an important part of the national character and helps the Finns fight ____86____ difficulties to make great achievements.
Emilia Lahti thinks sisu is not so much about achievements, but it is about facing challenges ____87____.
The influence of sisu
In daily life
In Finland the use of sisu in ____88____ things is very common, such as sisu cars, sisu sweets, the big icebreaker MS Sisu and even Mount Sisu.
In ____89____
After smartphones beat Nokia, the Finns ____90____ to work hard. And this country has now become a mobile game leader.

As people say, you can’t change the environment, but you can change your own. You can’t change the facts, but you can change attitudes (态度). You can’t control other people, but you can be master of your own. You can’t do everything well, but you can be careful with everything. You can’t control the weather, but you can change your mood. You can’t choose what you look like, but you can show a smile.
One key to success lies in his or her mind. There are some differences between winners and losers. Winners always think troubles and difficulties are caused by personal ability and experience. They would like to improve and develop in the right direction. While losers will blame on the opportunity (机会), and the environment injustice (不公). They always complain, wait and give up.
In many cases, a humble (出身卑微的) person looks down upon his own. A person’s appearance and his family may not be changed, but he can control the spirit of the will of his own at least. If he can’t deal with the mind, how can he deal with more difficult things?
No matter what the situation is, a person’s attitude is very important. Emerson said, “A move toward their goals is always people who gave him the whole world to give way.” On the contrary (相反), failure is not because we do not have the strength, but because we can’t stick to ourselves, and always follow others’ examples.
We should believe the strength of mind, and change our attitude when we face disappointments (失望) in life. I believe the power of mind, and now it’s up to you to make the final decision.
49. Although people can’t do everything well, they can choose to ________.
A. be master of their own B. control other people C. change the environment D. be careful with everything
50. The differences between winners and losers are ________.
A their chances B. their families C. their minds D. their jobs
51. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Follow Other’s Examples B. Believe the Power of Mind C. Have Your Strength D. Improve the Environment
【答案】49. D 50. C 51. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要阐述了人们虽无法改变诸多外在因素,但可通过改变自身态度来应对生活,强调了心态的重要性。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据“You can’t do everything well, but you can be careful with everything.”可知人们不能做好每件事,但可以对每件事都细心对待。故选D。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据“One key to success lies in his or her mind. There are some differences between winners and losers.”以及后面分别阐述成功者和失败者对待问题的不同思维方式,可知差异在于他们的思维。故选C。
【51题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇讲述人们虽不能改变很多外在的东西,但可以改变自己的态度等,接着对比成功者和失败者在思维上的差异,最后强调要相信心灵的力量并改变态度,全文围绕相信心灵的力量展开。可知选项B“相信心灵的力量”最能概括文章主旨。故选B。
(C)
Gary and Karen ran all the way to the Academy (学院). When they arrived it was already ten minutes past five. “I’m sorry,” said a blonde (金发的) woman at the door of the exam room. “You’re late and the test has already started.”
She looked at her notebook. “You must be Gary,” she said. “Everyone came on time. Why didn’t you?”
“Please just give me one chance,” said Gary. “Something happened. Really, it’s not my fault. It’s true,” said Karen. “You have to believe him.” Karen told her the story of the shoplifter (商店扒手). “All right,” she said. “But we can’t give you any extra time. Take a place and don’t disturb the others. Gary turned and looked at Karen. He mouthed (不出声地说) the words “Thank you” to her.
Gary looked at the test paper. His heart was beating fast. He remembered what Laura had told him. “Stay calm. Read all the questions carefully first, then work out how much time is available for each question. Make sure you save ten minutes for checking at the end.”
He had ninety minutes. He had to do a Maths paper and an English paper. Allowing ten minutes for checking, he had forty minutes for each paper. He set to work. He finished the Maths paper in twenty-five minutes. He checked his watch and started on the English paper. It wasn’t easy. He answered all the questions and checked his watch from time to time. He finished the English paper in thirty-five minutes. Then he read his Maths paper again. He found one mistake. He was glad he had checked carefully. He checked his English paper. He found two grammar mistakes and three spelling mistakes. He made the corrections. He looked through all his answers one more time. He took a deep breath and put down his pen. The room was quiet. He could only hear the sound of pages turning and pens writing. He checked his watch. He had finished fifteen minutes before the end of the test. Then he gave his test paper to the blonde woman.
The phone call came on next Monday. “This is Mrs. Dexter calling from the Football Academy. We’ve got the results of your test...” Gary fell silent. After a while, “I’ll be there,” said Gary excitedly, “and I won’t be late!”
—From Mr. Football

【52题详解】

In the far north of Europe, there is a country called Finland (芬兰), which is famous for its unique culture, beautiful natural view, and outstanding social achievements. In the Finnish culture, there is a spiritual power called “sisu” that runs through the lives of the Finns (芬兰人) and is an important part of the national character. The sisu spirit helps the Finns work through difficulties to make great achievements.
“Sisu” is a Finnish word that cannot be fully translated into a precise Chinese word. Maybe you can explain it as “perseverance” (坚持不懈). The New York Times describes sisu as the word that explains Finland, the Finns’ favorite word and the most wonderful of all their words.
The Finns loves sisu so much that they often use the word name many things in their daily life. There are sisu cars, sisu sweets and the big icebreaker MS Sisu. A mountain was even named Mount Sisu in 1997.
You can also see sisu when the Finns do business. Just a few years ago, Nokia was still the world’s leading cellphone company and the pride of Finland. Later, smartphones from Apple and Sumsung beat Nokia. But the Finns didn’t stop their hard work. Many high-technology companies are rising from Nokia’s ashes (灰烬). Finland has now become a mobile game leader. Popular games Angry Birds and Clash of Clans are both from Finland.
“We’ve had this idea of sisu for about 600 years in our culture”, Emilia Lahti, who researches sisu at Aalto University in Finland, told the Business Insider, “It is not so much about achievements, but it is about facing challenges with courage.” In today’s era, the Sisu spirit still has important value and significance (意义). It is not only a precious treasure of the Finnish nation but also provides people all over the world with a positive attitude towards life and values.
