Have you ever thought about what you want to be when you grow up? Do you want to be a singer, a dancer or a writer? Almost everyone has his or her favourite job when he or she is young. Our Chinese teacher Mr Brown asked us about our dreams in class today. Here are the results. After discussion, Mr Brown asked two students to share their dream jobs and reasons. Linda I want to be a teacher like my father. Teachers play an important part in passing on the knowledge. Mike I’d like to be a computer programmer. It is a hot job these days. Some people think computer science is more boring than computer games, but I don’t think so. 1．What can we know from this picture? ①Boys are more interested in science.    ②More boys dream of being pilots than girls. ③Few girls want to be teachers.    ④More boys want to be musicians than girls. A．①② B．②④ C．①③ 2．Which job is the most popular among students? A．The teacher. B．The doctor. C．The scientist. 3．How does Mike like computer science? A．Unpopular. B．Boring. C．Interesting. 2. Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. Our personal dream and clear goal make us study hard and make progress each day. But why do you still end up with nothing if you have dreams and goals? The difference between successful people and dreamers is their persistent (坚持不懈的) action. When you find some of your lessons very hard, you must try, keep trying and not give up. This is the famous formula (公式) for success. Dream→Believe→Achieve Most people have what they want (Dream), and they think they can realize their dreams (Believe). But they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. I believe that if you really want to make your dream come true, you have to add one thing to your success formula. Dream→Believe→Act→Achieve For me, act is the most important thing for success, and that’s to take persistent action (Act). If you say “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything successfully. However, “I’ll try” may give you a surprise. There will be obstacles in our lives. We must try to solve them. Most successful people make their dreams come true because of their persistent action. Please remember: Persistent action can achieve your dream and goal. 1．What should you do when you find your lessons very hard? A．Ask people for help. B．Try and keep trying. C．Do nothing. D．Look for a harder one. 2．What is the most important thing for success according to the writer? A．Acting. B．Achieving. C．Connecting. D．Believing. 3．What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean? A．Fears. B．Imaginations. C．Choices. D．Difficulties. 4．Why does the writer use the formula “Dream→Believe→Act→Achieve”? A．To support his/her idea. B．To remember a formula. C．To show what his/her goals are. D．To introduce a dream. 5．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．Doing Something Successful B．Studying Hard and Making Progress C．Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action D．Having Personal Dreams and Clear Goals 3. ①Do you have a dream job? What will you choose?

Over the years it had grown into two shops with 1 employees, but Allamby started to expect something more. At first, he thought it must have something to do with growing his business even further. So, at the age of 34, Allamby enrolled (注册) in a bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in business management. There was one problem: after taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take a biology course to get his degree. “Why do I need to take biology?” he thought. However, the best influence of this requirement is that it restarted his childhood dream. “I wanted to be a doctor when I was younger,” Allamby says. “I lost that dream somewhere through high school and life.” He grew up in a poor neighbourhood, and his school didn’t offer the advanced science classes. So he had no chance to study at medical school. Instead, Allamby set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor, and chose a realistic career path—fixing cars, which helped support his family. But at age 3 a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his wife and family, he quickly chose not to go to business school and instead took science classes to become a healthcare worker. “Becoming a doctor when I am nearly 4 was crazy. I will become a nurse like my wife,” he thought. But Allamby’s biology professor stopped him after class one day. “Carl,” he said, “you’re like the oldest guy here. What’s your endgame?” Allamby said he’d like to become a doctor, but it would be more practical to aim lower. “Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work,” the professor said. “I didn’t even see in myself if my professor hadn’t told me that,” Allamby says. And so, in 105, Allamby sold his two shops and started medical school at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 109, at the age of 1, Carl Allamby became Dr Carl Allamby. He now works as an emergency medicine doctor at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital. “How many people can do something new at such a late stage in their life?” he asks. “My kids look up to me, my community looks up to me. Whether it’s because of my age or my past career—these are all reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.” 1．What did Allamby enroll in a bachelor’s degree for at age 34? A．To develop his business. B．To take part-time jobs. C．To take a biology course. D．To learn to be a doctor. 2．Why did Allamby choose to fix cars at first? A．To accept the school’s requirement. B．To escape being a doctor. C．To serve his neighbourhood. D．To make a living. 3．What does the underlined “to aim lower” mean in Paragraph 4? A．To live his dream. B．To be a doctor. C．To take science classes. D．To be a healthcare worker. 4．What’s Allamby’s attitude towards the professor? A．Doubtful. B．Patient. C．Thankful. D．Sorry. 5．Which can be used to describe Allamby?

He wanted to know why he wasn’t able to reach all of his goals in his life. The old man was reading in a small house by the river. With a smile, he listened to Gary’s story and told him, “First please help me boil a kettle (壶) of water!” Gary saw a big kettle next to a small stove, but there was no wood (木头) in the house. So he went out to get some. He came back with some dry wood, filled the kettle with water and put it on the stove. Then he put some wood in the stove and started a fire. But because the kettle was too large, when he used up all the wood, the water did not boil. So he ran out to get more. When he got back, the water turned cold. He learnt his lesson and this time he got more wood before he started a fire. Finally, he boiled water. “If there is not enough wood, how will you boil the water?” the wise man asked. Gary thought for a minute but didn’t know the answer. “Well, then just get some water out of the kettle!” the old man said. “At first, you set too many goals,” said the old man. “It’s just like the large kettle full of water. You didn’t have enough wood, so you couldn't boil the water. If you want to make the water boil, you will have to boil less water.” 1．Was there any wood in the house? 2．Where was the old man reading? 3．What were the reasons why the young man couldn’t boil the water? 4．Do you agree with the wise man’s words about goals in the last paragraph?

He enjoyed delicious food and shared interesting things happily with his family and friends. The party left Leo many good memories except (除了) that he had made many resolutions to improve himself, but he didn’t keep them! He told himself that he would try his best to study at school and get good grades, but he never studied for an exam because he thought he knew everything. However, his grades were so low that he had to repeat all his subjects in the end. Another resolution was to walk his dog every day after school, but he didn’t do it! He usually asked his sister to take the dog for a walk in the park. Luckily, Leo decided to change this year, and he is really taking action. Now he’s 5 and he knows he needs to be more mature (成熟的).

Of course, the second way is better. Why? Because you make a plan for your goal (目标)! Many people have goals like getting better grades or finding a better job. But without a plan for reaching those goals, only 8 percent of these people will finally be successful. Why is making plans so important? First, it stops you spending time on meaningless things. Also, it helps you know better what to do step by step. What’s more, if you make a good plan, you’ll be surprised at how much you can reach. Last, by making a plan, you will know the problems you meet on the way to success and try your best to solve them. The importance of having a plan is now clear, so do you know how to make your own plan?

Without even knowing it, I was comparing myself with others. In fact, I’m not alone! Comparing is something with us every day. Studies show that anytime a thought comes to our minds, there’s a 1-in-10 chance that we’re comparing ourselves with others. Social comparison theory (理论) also tells us that people would judge (评价) their own social and personal worth (价值) by comparing themselves with others around them. Comparison (比较) had been with me for long until one day I realized that it is meaningless to compare ourselves with others—we are comparing what we are poor at with someone’s strengths. I still remember some moments when I thought the worst of myself because I thought the best of someone else. For example, every time I saw Kayla performing well at her schoolwork, the first thing that came into my mind was a wish that I could be as smart as her. I decided to change. I started to focus on improving myself instead of comparing with others. For example, I took up reading one book every month. This helped me to discover a new self. I also learned to appreciate (欣赏) what I had. Every day, I wrote down things I was happy about and chose to be around people who made me feel good. This made me value my life and see how special it is. And I changed how I used social media. I customized (定制) my social media feeds (推送) to include more educational and encouraging information. I felt happier and seldom compared myself to others. In our lives, it’s important to care about ourselves. Try not to get lost in comparing yourself with others because everyone is different. Discover your gifts and let them shine! 1．Did the writer compare himself with others when using social media? 2．Why did the writer say comparison is meaningless? 3．What did the writer do to avoid (避免) meaningless comparison? 4．What do you think of the comparison and how do you deal with (处理) it?

There are some days when it’s raining and I would rather be 7 else except at my home, but I still go out with a dog,” Coyle said. “Start a business that interests you. First, you have to advertise. The 8 and safest way is to talk with neighbors and family friends. After you have the customers, keep your customers happy! Send cards that you make by yourself to them on holidays.

Each of us has dreams and goals for our future. Our personal dream and clear goal make us study hard and make progress each day. But why do you still end up with nothing if you have dreams and goals? The difference between successful people and dreamers is their persistent (坚持不懈的) action. When you find some of your lessons very hard, you must try, keep trying and not give up. This is the famous formula (公式) for success. Dream→Believe→Achieve Most people have what they want (Dream), and they think they can realize their dreams (Believe). But they do nothing. They just imagine their dreams can come true. I believe that if you really want to make your dream come true, you have to add one thing to your success formula. Dream→Believe→Act→Achieve For me, act is the most important thing for success, and that’s to take persistent action (Act). If you say “I can’t do it” and give up, you can never do anything successfully. However, “I’ll try” may give you a surprise. There will be obstacles in our lives. We must try to solve them. Most successful people make their dreams come true because of their persistent action. Please remember: Persistent action can achieve your dream and goal. 1．What should you do when you find your lessons very hard? A．Ask people for help. B．Try and keep trying. C．Do nothing. D．Look for a harder one. 2．What is the most important thing for success according to the writer? A．Acting. B．Achieving. C．Connecting. D．Believing. 3．What does the underlined word “obstacles” mean? A．Fears. B．Imaginations. C．Choices. D．Difficulties. 4．Why does the writer use the formula “Dream→Believe→Act→Achieve”? A．To support his/her idea. B．To remember a formula. C．To show what his/her goals are. D．To introduce a dream. 5．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．Doing Something Successful B．Studying Hard and Making Progress C．Realizing Dreams with Persistent Action D．Having Personal Dreams and Clear Goals 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 34．A 5．C 【解析】本文主要阐述了“只有坚持不懈的行动才能把梦想变为现实”这一观点，并给出了“梦想→信念→行动→实现”的成功公式。 1．细节理解题。根据“When you find some of your lessons very hard, you must try, keep trying and not give up.”可知，当课程很难时应不断尝试、永不放弃。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“For me, act is the most important thing for success, and that’s to take persistent action (Act)”可知作者认为成功最重要的是行动。故选A。 3．词义猜测题。根据“There will be obstacles in our lives. We must try to solve them”可推知，此处指我们的生活中会有困难，我们必须设法解决这些问题，故obstacles与difficulties意义相近。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“For me, act is the most important thing for success, and that’s to take persistent action (Act)”可推知，作者用“Dream→Believe→Act→Achieve”这个公式是为了支持自己的观点。故选A。 5．最佳标题题。本文主要阐述了“只有坚持不懈的行动才能把梦想变为现实”这一观点，并给出了“梦想—信念—行动—实现”的成功公式，以选项C“通过坚持不懈的行动实现梦想”为标题最合适。故选C。 3. ①Do you have a dream job?

The local government is happy…”可知，他的博客让很多人对岛屿产生兴趣，当地政府对此满意，这说明他写博客的目的是提高岛屿知名度。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段“sleeping on the job is a big problem! But Roisin…is paid $1,000 every month to do that”可知，“that”指代前文提到的“在上班时睡觉”这种行为。故选B。 4．推理判断题。通读全文可知，三份工作分别是：免费品尝糖果、独居海岛写博客、睡觉测试床垫舒适度，这些工作都非常特殊且充满趣味性。故选B。 5．篇章结构题。全文采用总分结构：首段引出“特殊工作”这一主题，第二至四段分别介绍三个具体案例，形成“总起—分述”的结构模式，为①-②③④。故选C。 4. Carl Allamby started his auto repair business at the age of 9. Over the years it had grown into two shops with 1 employees, but Allamby started to expect something more. At first, he thought it must have something to do with growing his business even further. So, at the age of 34, Allamby enrolled (注册) in a bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in business management. There was one problem: after taking classes part-time over the next five years, Allamby was told he had to take a biology course to get his degree. “Why do I need to take biology?” he thought. However, the best influence of this requirement is that it restarted his childhood dream. “I wanted to be a doctor when I was younger,” Allamby says. “I lost that dream somewhere through high school and life.” He grew up in a poor neighbourhood, and his school didn’t offer the advanced science classes. So he had no chance to study at medical school. Instead, Allamby set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor, and chose a realistic career path—fixing cars, which helped support his family. But at age 3 a different Carl Allamby walked into that biology class. He was ready to live his dream. With the support of his wife and family, he quickly chose not to go to business school and instead took science classes to become a healthcare worker. “Becoming a doctor when I am nearly 4 was crazy. I will become a nurse like my wife,” he thought. But Allamby’s biology professor stopped him after class one day. “Carl,” he said, “you’re like the oldest guy here. What’s your endgame?” Allamby said he’d like to become a doctor, but it would be more practical to aim lower. “Why not a doctor? You have a great talent for the work,” the professor said. “I didn’t even see in myself if my professor hadn’t told me that,” Allamby says. And so, in 105, Allamby sold his two shops and started medical school at Northeast Ohio Medical University. In 109, at the age of 1, Carl Allamby became Dr Carl Allamby. He now works as an emergency medicine doctor at Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital. “How many people can do something new at such a late stage in their life?” he asks. “My kids look up to me, my community looks up to me. Whether it’s because of my age or my past career—these are all reasons why I shouldn’t be here. And yet, here I am.” 1．What did Allamby enroll in a bachelor’s degree for at age 34? A．To develop his business. B．To take part-time jobs. C．To take a biology course. D．To learn to be a doctor. 2．Why did Allamby choose to fix cars at first? A．To accept the school’s requirement. B．To escape being a doctor. C．To serve his neighbourhood. D．To make a living. 3．What does the underlined “to aim lower” mean in Paragraph 4? A．To live his dream. B．To be a doctor. C．To take science classes. D．To be a healthcare worker. 4．What’s Allamby’s attitude towards the professor? A．Doubtful. B．Patient. C．Thankful. D．Sorry. 5．Which can be used to describe Allamby? A．A bookworm. B．A dream-follower. C．A survivor. D．A pioneer. 【答案】1—5 ADDCB 【解析】本文讲述了Carl Allamby从汽车修理师到医生的励志故事，展现了追逐梦想永不嫌晚的主题。 1．细节理解题。根据“At first, he thought it must have something to do with growing his business even further. So, at the age of 34, Allamby enrolled (注册) in a bachelor’s degree (学士学位) in business management.”可知，Allamby注册学士学位是为了进一步发展他的业务。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“Instead, Allamby set aside thoughts of becoming a doctor, and chose a realistic career path—fixing cars, which helped support his family.”可知，Allamby选择修车是为了谋生。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Becoming a doctor when I am nearly 4 was crazy. I will become a nurse like my wife”可知，Allamby认为成为医生不切实际，更实际的目标是成为一名医护人员，所以“to aim lower”意思是成为一名医疗工作者。故选D。 4．推理判断题。根据“I didn’t even see in myself if my professor hadn’t told me that”可以推断出，Allamby对教授是感激的，因为教授的话让他重新认识了自己，有了追求梦想的勇气。故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据全文内容可知， 文章讲述了Allamby在中年时放弃成功的修车生意，重新追求童年成为医生的梦想，并最终实现梦想的故事，所以用“梦想追随者”来描述他很合适。故选B。 5. Forrest Gump is a 994 film starring Tom Hanks. It tells the story of Forrest Gump, a simple man with a warm personality. Despite an IQ of 75, he lives an amazing life. He sees, and influences, some of the major events of the United States in the second half of the 10th century. The following is a part of the play’s script. Mrs Gump and Forrest wait for the school bus. The bus pulls up as Mrs Gump prepares Forrest for his first day of school. MRS GUMP: You do your very best now, Forrest. FORREST: I sure will, Momma. FORREST (Voice-over)(画外音): I remember the bus ride on the first day of school very well. The bus driver opens the door and looks down. Forrest walks to the steps of the bus and looks at the bus driver. BUS DRIVER: Are you coming along? FORREST: Momma said not to be taking rides from strangers. BUS DRIVER: This is the bus to school. FORREST: I’m Forrest. Forrest Gump. BUS DRIVER: I’m Dorothy Harris. FORREST: Well, now we aren’t strangers anymore. The bus driver smiles as Forrest steps up into the bus. Mrs Gump waves to Forrest as the bus drives away. Forrest begins to walk down the bus. Two young boys look up from the seat. BOY 1: This seat’s taken. BOY 2: It’s taken! BOY 3: You can’t sit here. FORREST (Voice-over): I don’t remember being born. I, I… don’t recall what I got for my first Christmas and I don’t know when I went on my first outdoor picnic. But, I do remember the first time I heard the sweetest voice in the wide world. GIRL: You can sit here if you want. Forrest looks back at Jenny Curran, a young girl about Forrest’s age. FORREST (Voice-over): I had never seen anything so beautiful. She was like an angel. JENNY: Well, are you going to sit down, or aren’t you? Forrest sits down next to Jenny. JENNY: What’s wrong with your legs? FORREST: Um, nothing at all, thank you. My legs are just fine and dandy. FORREST (Voice-over): I sat next to her on that bus and had a conversation all the way.

One day a young man Gary went to see a wise old man. He wanted to know why he wasn’t able to reach all of his goals in his life. The old man was reading in a small house by the river. With a smile, he listened to Gary’s story and told him, “First please help me boil a kettle (壶) of water!” Gary saw a big kettle next to a small stove, but there was no wood (木头) in the house. So he went out to get some. He came back with some dry wood, filled the kettle with water and put it on the stove. Then he put some wood in the stove and started a fire. But because the kettle was too large, when he used up all the wood, the water did not boil. So he ran out to get more. When he got back, the water turned cold. He learnt his lesson and this time he got more wood before he started a fire. Finally, he boiled water. “If there is not enough wood, how will you boil the water?” the wise man asked. Gary thought for a minute but didn’t know the answer. “Well, then just get some water out of the kettle!” the old man said. “At first, you set too many goals,” said the old man. “It’s just like the large kettle full of water. You didn’t have enough wood, so you couldn't boil the water. If you want to make the water boil, you will have to boil less water.” 1．Was there any wood in the house? 2．Where was the old man reading? 3．What were the reasons why the young man couldn’t boil the water? 4．Do you agree with the wise man’s words about goals in the last paragraph?

I was lying on my sofa, scrolling (滚屏) through social media (媒体), getting lost in someone else’s wonderful life. Without even knowing it, I was comparing myself with others. In fact, I’m not alone! Comparing is something with us every day. Studies show that anytime a thought comes to our minds, there’s a 1-in-10 chance that we’re comparing ourselves with others. Social comparison theory (理论) also tells us that people would judge (评价) their own social and personal worth (价值) by comparing themselves with others around them. Comparison (比较) had been with me for long until one day I realized that it is meaningless to compare ourselves with others—we are comparing what we are poor at with someone’s strengths. I still remember some moments when I thought the worst of myself because I thought the best of someone else. For example, every time I saw Kayla performing well at her schoolwork, the first thing that came into my mind was a wish that I could be as smart as her. I decided to change. I started to focus on improving myself instead of comparing with others. For example, I took up reading one book every month. This helped me to discover a new self. I also learned to appreciate (欣赏) what I had. Every day, I wrote down things I was happy about and chose to be around people who made me feel good. This made me value my life and see how special it is. And I changed how I used social media. I customized (定制) my social media feeds (推送) to include more educational and encouraging information. I felt happier and seldom compared myself to others. In our lives, it’s important to care about ourselves. Try not to get lost in comparing yourself with others because everyone is different. Discover your gifts and let them shine! 1．Did the writer compare himself with others when using social media? 2．Why did the writer say comparison is meaningless? 3．What did the writer do to avoid (避免) meaningless comparison? 4．What do you think of the comparison and how do you deal with (处理) it? (Please give an example with at least 10 words.) 【答案】1．Yes, he did. 2．Because we are comparing what we are poor at with someone’s strengths. 3．He took three main actions: First, he focused on self-improvement by reading one book every month. Second, he learned to appreciate his own life by writing down things he was happy about and choosing to be around positive people. Third, he customized his social media feeds to include more educational and encouraging content. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I think comparison can be harmful if it makes us feel inferior, but it can also inspire us if used positively. For example, when I see a classmate who is good at sports, instead of feeling jealous, I try to learn from them and practice more to improve my own skills. 【解析】哲理感悟、记叙文 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者的个人经历，阐述了与他人比较的无意义性，强调了关注自我成长、欣赏自身价值以及合理使用社交媒体的重要性，最终鼓励读者发掘自己的独特之处并让其发光。 1．根据第一段“I was lying on my sofa, scrolling through social media, getting lost in someone else’s wonderful life. Without even knowing it, I was comparing myself with others.”可知，作者在刷社交媒体时，不知不觉就开始与他人比较，因此答案为肯定；再根据问句中“himself”可知，这里应用人称代词“he”作答。故填Yes, he did. 2．根据第二段“...I realized that it is meaningless to compare ourselves with others—we are comparing what we are poor at with someone’s strengths.”可知，作者认为比较是无意义的，其原因是：我们在用自己的弱点和别人的优点对比。故填Because we are comparing what we are poor at with someone’s strengths. 3．原文第三段详细列举了作者的改变措施，可归纳为三类核心行动：专注自我提升 (每月读书)、学会欣赏自身拥有 (记录开心事、靠近积极的人)、调整社交媒体使用方式 (定制有益推送)，需完整概括这些具体做法。故填He took three main actions: First, he focused on self-improvement by reading one book every month. Second, he learned to appreciate his own life by writing down things he was happy about and choosing to be around positive people. Third, he customized his social media feeds to include more educational and encouraging content. 4．开放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：I think comparison can be harmful if it makes us feel inferior, but it can also inspire us if used positively.
