However, life can be 36 when you are not busy finding fault with it.Several years ago I 37 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 38 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and 39 was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 40 person.Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 41 Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 42 to deal with was that the day before the 43 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 44 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 45 It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 46 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 47 everything so harshly ( 刻薄) . She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 48 as well.Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding, 49 when we're honest, we can be sharply 50 of the world. I'm not suggesting you 51 problems, or that you pretend things are 52 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are 53 most of the time, and especially when it's not a really big 54 .Train yourself to "bite your tongue" , and with a little 55, you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.36.A.lonelyB.greatC.quietD.uneasy37.A.receivedB.answeredC.expectedD.rejected38.A.threatenedB.interruptedC.botheredI).spoiled39.A.anythingB.everythingC.somethingD.nothing40.A.caringB.boringC.interestingD.surprising41.A.attitudeB.planC.measureD.explanation42.A.urgentB.unnecessaryC.certainD.impossible43.A.occasionB.eventC.accidentD.adventure44.A.memoryB.noticeC.evidenceD.choice45.A.hearB.contributeC.expressD.admit46.A.aware ofB.afraid ofC.curious aboutD.confused about47.A.discussB.realizeC.judgeD.settle48.A.familyB.lifeC.careerD.education49.A.soB.orC.butD.for50.A.proudB.sureC.hopefulD.critical51.A.faceB.createC.solveD.ignore52.A.rarerB.betterC.strangerD.worse53.A.at leastB.at lastC.by farD.so far54.A.taskB.dealC.resultD.duty55.A.practiceB.speechC.restDpity第三部分阅 读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AFood festivals around the worldStilton Cheese RollingMay Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include checsc rolling in their annual plans.

So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. "There's so much to learn," he'd say. "Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way. " He was determined that none of his children would be denied ( fllfe) an education.Thus, Papa insisted that wre learn at least one newT thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it wrould never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing wrhat we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.Then came the momentthe time to share the day's new learning.Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen."Felice," he'd say, "tell me wrhat you learned today. ""I learned that the population of Nepal is . "Silence.Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. "The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well . . . . " he'd say. "Get the map; let's see where Nepal is. " And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher /1 studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all alongthe value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.60.What do we know from the first paragraph?A.The author's father was born in a worker's family.B.Those born stupid could not change their life.C.The town elders wanted to learn about the world.D.The poor could hardly afford school education.61.The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to "A. one new thingB. a requestC. the newsD. some comment62.It can be learned from the passage that the author.A.enjoyed talking about newsB.knew very well about NepalC.felt regret about those wasted daysD . appreciated his father's educational technique63.What is the greatest value of "dinner time" to the author?A.

It can also be full of challenges, setbacks and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desiresthat little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and "what wre're seemingly able to have is the niggling suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up. But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is usthe real us. It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little "dead" inside because you're dropping "you".So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns? Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mindor the minds of those close to ususually says we can't. That isn't a reason to stop, it's just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It's all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way.68.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should.A.slow down and live a simple lifeB.be careful when we choose to changeC.stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD.be content with what we already have69.What is the key to breaking the old patterns?A. To focus on every detail.B. To decide and take immediate action.C. To listen to those close to us. D. To think twice before we act.70.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Escape from your punishment.B. Realization of your dreams.C. Freedom from your tension. D. Reduction of your expectations.71.What does the author intend to tell us?A.It's easier than we think to get what we want.B. It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C. It's impractical to change our way of thinking.D. It's harder than we expect to follow a new course. EGroup exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain(保持) a healthy lifestyle.Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body.However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins（内啡肽） , and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor.Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervis
