A

You probably know some successful people， but you may not know they also used to face numerous obstacles（挫折）. After all， not everyone got there with success after success.

Walt Disney （1901-1966）

Today Disney rakes in billions， but Walt Disney himself also had a rough start. He was fired by a newspaper editor because， “he lacked imagination and provided no good ideas.”After that， Disney started a number of businesses that didnt last long and ended with bankruptcy（破产）. He kept plugging（若干） along， however， and eventually found a recipe for success.

Socrates （470-399 BC）

Despite leaving no written records behind， Socrates is regarded as one of the greatest philosophers（哲学家）. Because of his new ideas， in his own time he was called“an immoral corrupter of youth”and sentenced to death. Socrates didnt stop and kept right on， teaching up until he was forced to poison himself.

Oprah Winfrey （1954-present）

Most people know Oprah as one of the most iconic（偶像的）faces on TV. Oprah faced a hard road to get to that position， however， enduring（戀爱）a rough and often abusive（辱骂的）childhood as well as numerous career setbacks including being fired as a television reporter because she was“unfit for TV.”

Jack London （1876-1916）

This well-known American author wasnt always such a success. While he would go on to publish popular novels like The Call of the Wild， his first story received six hundred rejections before finally being accepted.

The simple truth is that successful people always react positively to the people and events in their lives， especially the negative ones. Next time youre feeling down about your failures， remind yourself that sometimes failure is just the first step towards success.21.

We pay attention to great novels. In the case of Russian author Leo Tolstoys War and Peace （1869）， we have one of the great landmarks of world writing. The book is regularly voted the best novel of all time.

Why does Tolstoys book deserve this reputation？ It is because War and Peace is about an important time in Russian and European history from many different perspectives （視角）. By showing readers many individuals and families from different walks of life， Tolstoy looks at this history in a close-up manner that also shows the whole of the war.

Tolstoy would recommend a way of life based on the lives of Russian peasants， and that way of life is shown in his great novel. Indeed， he also proves himself not only a great storyteller， but also a philosopher. For some readers this philosophical aspect to writing meant his novel suffered. The French novelist Gustave Flaubert complained（抱怨）that Tolstoy tried the readers patience： He“repeats himself， he philosophizes”. But most have disagreed with Flaubert.

Tolstoy wanted to write a book that would be more than a “novel”. He wanted something much larger than any of these. He was taking on such a grand subject that the scale of the subject had to be reflected in the form of the writing. This explains the large amount of philosophical reflection in the book.

Tolstoy therefore succeeded in bringing us so close to the past in his pages that the world of the story seems like the world of today. This was perhaps why a later Russian writer Isaac Babel， would make an interesting comment. “If the world could write by itself，” he said， “it would write like Tolstoy.”

25. Why is Tolstoys War and Peace a success？

A. Because it builds up our knowledge of the past.

B. Because it shows our love for the literature.

C. Because it is regularly voted the best novel of all time.

D. Because it brings us to an important time in history.

26. What was the reaction of the public to Flauberts complaint？

A. Most expressed their support for it.

B. The majority thought it was inadequate.

C. They believed it had a bad influence.

D. Few people responded immediately.

27. What did Isaac Babel say about Tolstoy？

A. He is mannered. B. He is interesting.

C. He is a genius author. D. He is a good storyteller.

28. Where can you probably read this passage？

A. An introduction to a novel.

B. An introduction to a novelist.

C. A bookstore advertisement.

D. A book review.

C

Like most elementary schools， it was typical to have students in and out of the health clinic. As principal， my office was right next to the clinic， so I often dropped in to help. One morning when I was putting a Band-Aid on a little blonde girls scraped knee， I noticed that she was trembling in her thin blouse. I found her a warm sweatshirt and helped her pull it on.“Thanks for taking care of me，”she whispered as she climbed into my lap and hugged me.

It wasnt long after that when I was diagnosed（诊断）the cancer， an aggressively spreading kind. When it became evident that the children were going to find out anyway， I decided to tell them myself. It wasnt easy to get the words out， but the concern I saw in their faces told me I had made the right decision. When I gave them a chance to ask questions， they mostly wanted to know how they could help. I told them that what I would like best would be their letters， pictures and prayers.

I stood by the gym door as the children solemnly（严肃地） left. My little blonde friend ran out of line and threw herself into my arms. Then she stepped back， with a determined look， “Dont be afraid， Dr. Perry，”she said earnestly，“I know youll be back because now its our turn to take care of you.”

No one could have ever done a better job. A video of every class singing songs accompanied me to the second appointment， right after a joke book they had written. By the third visit， the nurses were waiting at the door to find out what I would bring. It was a delicate music box that played“I Will Always Love You.” Even when I went into isolation（隔离区）， the letters and pictures kept coming until they covered every wall of my room. What healing comfort I found in being surrounded by these tokens of their caring.

At long last I was well enough to return to work. As I headed up the road to the school， I caught sight of a banner（橫幅）as I rounded the corner.“Welcome Back， Dr. Perry，”it read. As I drew closer， everywhere I looked were pink ribbons， and the children and staff standing waiting at the school gate. My blonde buddy was first in line to greet me.“Youre back， Dr. Perry！”she called.“See， I told you wed take care of you！”

29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “earnestly”in Paragraph 3？

A. sadly B. seriously C. hurriedly D. patiently

30. What gift has the author received first？

A. A joke book. B. A video.

C. A music box. D. Letters and pictures.

31. Why does the author mention the nurse waiting by the third visit？

A. To show the hospitality of the nurse.

B. To describe the curiosity of the nurse.

C. To tell what a good job the children have done.

D. To teach the readers how to be a nurse.

32. What does the author most probably suggest by telling this story？

A. Act positively towards difficulties in life.

B. Ask children to care for each other.

C. Be healthy both physically and mentally.

D. Love others and be loved in return.

It is quite common for high school students to do part-time jobs. According to a recent survey， the number of teenage students doing part-time jobs has gone up greatly over the past 10 years. This result has immediately gotten the publics attention and started a heated discussion.

Without a doubt， part-time jobs play an incredibly important role in young peoples self-development. It helps them learn about the value of money and how to manage it. For example， it makes it much easier for students to realize that it takes a lot of effort to make enough money to live on. As a result， students can become more confident when facing future financial problems and make wiser choices when making purchases. They can also tighten their family bonds and bridge the generation gap with their parents as they gain a much deeper understanding about how difficult it is for their parents to support them. Besides， doing part-time jobs usually means talking to customers every day and learning how to negotiate （協商） with his co-workers and superiors， so thanks to their work experience， young people can also improve their communication skills as well as their spirit of teamwork.

Therefore， part-time jobs have far-reaching impacts on studentslives. The reason why so many hold an unsupportive view toward part-time jobs is that they believe students are too young to become part of society. But， although parentsdesire to look after their children is pretty understandable， one has to admit that the advantages of doing part-time jobs are far more important than the disadvantages.

33. Which advantage of high school students taking part-time jobs is NOT mentioned？

A. They gain more social working experience.

B. They become more sensible in managing money.

C. They become more confident in making purchases.

D. They realize the value of money and understand their parents more.

34. The author talks about high school students taking part-time jobs with ______.

A. great admiration B. unbiased objectivity

C. dissatisfaction D. indifference

35. What would be the best title for the passage？

A. High school students and part-time jobs

B. Should high school students have part-time jobs？

C. Help high school students find part-time jobs

D. Benefits of part-time jobs for high school students
