26、hallenges may be new. The instruments with which we meet them may be new. But those values upon which our Success depends hard work and honesty, courage and fair play, tolerance and curiosity, loyalty and patriotism-these things are old. These things are true. They have been the quiet force of progr

27、ess throughout our history. What is demanded then is a return to these truths.57、Your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. Dont be trapped by dogmawhich is living with the results of other peoples thinking. Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice.

28、 And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.SECTION 2: STUDA SKILLS Like many people, Ive always seen the Olympics as the "main" sporting event held every four yearsthe headl

29、ine actand the Paralyrnpics as something of an "add-on"the supporting act. It you are not disabled yourself it is hard to understand some of the games and the athletes mobility problems. But being in the host city for these Paralympics changed my perspective. I came to realize these athlet

30、es were nothing short of superheroes. Deprived of physical abilities that able-bodied people take for granted, they made up for them and then some. They tested their senses and the boundaries of physical ability to extremes that the Bolts and Phelpses of this world would never have to. If some Olymp

31、ic runners had to undergo a double-amputation, I wonder if they would strap two carbon fiber blades to their knees like Oscar Pistorius, also known as Blade Runner, of South Africa, and relearn everything that once came naturally. If some Olympic swimming heroes suddenly went blind, would they have

32、the courage to still surge through the water like Donovan Tildesley, not knowing when they would reach the end of the pool? Would any of us have the guts to turn around a life-changing experience like a car crash or bad rugby scrum. And not only get our lives back on track but then strive to be the

33、best at a sport? "What Paralympic sport would you do if you were disabled?" was a water-cooler question I posed today. Its not something you would normally think about. You dont watch TV as a kid aspiring to be a Paralympian. But it takes more than early mornings, training programs and spe

34、cial diets to get to the Paralympics. It takes a tragedy or loss that will have been grieved over, worked through and overcome. Skiing is terrifying enough if you have all your faculties. Standing at the top of a ski slope, its a battle of wills for most people to launch themselves, but Canadas Dono

35、van Tildesley, who has been blind from birth, revealed to a China Daily reporter that not only did he already ski, but he also wanted to take it up competitively. Superheroes indeed, each and every one. The Paralympics should be renamed the "Superlympics". Its nothing to do with the equali

36、ty denoted by the Greek "para", its about "super" ability, courage and strength that most of us, the top able-bodied athletes of the world included, will never have to muster. Its worth remembering that many Paralympians suffered horrific injuries while living life to the full. Y

37、ou dont get paralyzed sitting at home playing video games. And having lived life to the full they are not prepared to stop. Thats the lesser talked about "Paralympic spirit". I only hope that if life dealt me or my loved ones similar blows we would tackle them in the same way as these outs

38、tanding men and women.58、 What does the author think of Paralympic athletes? A. They are more than heroes. B. They are unsung heroes. C. They are second only to superheroes. D. They are able-bodied superheroes.59、 By saying ". and then some" (para. 2), the author means that _. A. Paralympi

39、c athletes made up for some physical abilities B. not all Paralympic athletes were able to make up for physical abilities C. there are some abilities that disabled athletes cannot make up for D. there are some other abilities besides what has been made up for60、 What does the author imply in Paragra

40、phs 3 and 4? A. Some Olympic stars will turn into Paralympic competitors when disable& B. Olympic stars career will come to a natural end when they are disabled. C. It takes more guts to be Paralympic athletes than Olympic athletes. D. It is anybodys guess whether Olympic stars will strive to be

41、 the best at sports.61、 The word "faculties" (para. 6) is closest in meaning to A. facilities B. abilities C. handicaps D. adversities62、 According to the author, what should be learned from Paralympic athletes? A. Rising above their physical disabilities. B. Coming to terms with what they

42、 suffer. C. Playing video games to live life to the full. D. Working their way through sporting competitions. Recent years have brought minority-owned businesses in the United States unprecedented opportunities as well as new and significant risks. Civil rights activists have long argued that one of

43、 the principal reasons why Blacks, Hispanics, and other minority groups have difficulty establishing themselves in business is that they lack access to the sizable orders and subcontracts that are generated by large companies. Now Congress, in apparent agreement, has required by law that businesses

44、awarded federal contracts of more than $ 500, 000 do their best to find minority subcontractors and record their efforts to do so on forms filed with the government. Indeed, (some federal and local agencies) have gone so far as to set specific percentage goals for apportioning part of public works c

45、ontracts to minority enterprises. Corporate response appears to have been substantial. (According to figures collected in 1977, the total of corporate contracts with minority businesses rose from $ 77 million in 1972 to $1.1 billion in 1977. ) The projected total of corporate contracts with minority

46、 businesses for the early 1980s is estimated to be over $ 3 billion per year with no letup anticipated in the next decade. Promising as it is for minority businesses, this increased patronage poses dangers for them, too. First, minority firms risk expanding too fast and overextending themselves fina

47、ncially, since most are small concerns and, unlike large businesses, they often need to make substantial investments in new plants, staff, equipment, and the like in order to perform work subcontracted to them. If, thereafter, their subcontracts are for some reason reduced, such firms can face poten

48、tially crippling fixed expenses. The world of corporate purchasing can be frustrating for small entrepreneurs who get requests for elaborate formal estimates and bids. Both consume valuable time and resources, and a small companys efforts must soon result in orders, or both the morale and the financ

49、ial health of the business will suffer. A second risk is that White-owned companies may seek to cash in on the increasing apportionments through formation of joint ventures with minority-owned concerns. Of course, in many instances there are legitimate reasons for joint ventures; clearly, White and

50、minority enterprises can team up to acquire business that neither could acquire alone. But civil rights groups and minority business owners have complained to Congress about minorities being set up as "fronts" with White backing, rather than being accepted as full partners in legitimate jo

51、int ventures. Third, a minority enterprise that secures the business of one large corporate customer often run the danger of becoming and remaining dependent. Even in the best of circumstances, fierce competition from larger, more established companies makes it difficult for small concerns to broade

52、n their customer bases: when such firms have nearly guaranteed orders from a single corporate benefactor, they may truly have to struggle against complacency arising from their current success.63、 The primary purpose of the passage is to _. A. present a commonplace idea and its inaccuracies B. descr

53、ibe a situation and its potential drawbacks C. propose a temporary solution to a problem D. analyze a frequent source of disagreement64、 The passage supplies information that would answer which of the following questions? _ A. Why federal agencies have set percentage goals for the use of minority-ow

54、ned businesses in public works contracts? B. To which government agencies must businesses awarded federal contracts report their efforts to find minority subcontractors? C. How widespread is the use of minority-owned concerns as "fronts" by White backers seeking to obtain subcontracts? D.

55、What is one set of conditions under which a small business might find itself financially overextended?65、 According to the passage, civil rights activist maintain that one disadvantage under which minority-owned businesses have traditionally had to labor is that they have _. A. not had sufficient op

56、portunity to secure business created by large corporations B. been especially vulnerable to government mismanagement of the economy C. been denied bank loans at rates comparable to those afforded larger competitors D. not been able to advertise in those media that reach large numbers of potential cu

57、stomers66、 The author implies that a minority-owned concern that does the greater part of its business with one large corporate customer should _. A. avoid competition with larger, more established concerns by not expanding B. concentrate on securing even more business from that corporation C. try t

58、o expand its customer base to avoid becoming dependent on the corporation D. use its influence with the corporation to promote subcontracting with other minority concerns67、 The author would most likely agree with which of the following statements about corporate response to working with minority su

59、bcontractors? _ A. Annoyed by the proliferation of "front" organizations, corporations are likely to reduce their efforts to work with minority-owned subcontractors in the near future. B. Although corporations showed considerable interest in working with minority businesses in the 1970s, t

60、heir aversion to government paperwork made them reluctant to pursue many government contracts. C. The significant response of corporations in the t970s is likely to be sustained and conceivably be increased throughout the 1980s. D. Although corporations are eager to cooperate with minority-owned bus

61、inesses, a shortage of capital in the 1970s made substantial response impossible. It looks unlikely that medical science will abolish the process of ageing. But it no longer looks impossible. "In the long run," as John Maynard Keynes observed, "we are all dead." True. But can the

62、 short run be elongatedin a way that makes the long run longer? And if so, how, and at what cost? People have dreamt of immorality since ancient times. Now, with the growth of biological knowledge that has marked the past few decades, a few researchers believe it might be within reach. To think abou

63、t the question, it is important to understand why organisms people included age in the first place. People are like machines, they wear out. That much is obvious. However, a machine can always be repaired. A good mechanic with a stock of spare parts can keep it going indefinitely. Eventually, no par

64、t of the original may remain, but it still carries on, like Lincolns famous axe that had three new handles and two new blades. The question, of course, is whether the machine is worth repairing. It is here that people and nature disagree. Or, to put it slightly differently, two bits of nature disagr

65、ee with each other. From the individuals point of view, survival is an imperative. A fear of death is a sensible evolved response and, since ageing is a sure way of dying, it is no surprise that people want to stop it in its tracks. Moreover, even the appearance of ageing can be harmful. It reduces the range of potential sexual partners who f
