    Do not live in the past whether you are thinking about your personality or your life; success means focusing on the here and now. While it is important to acknowledge the choices and experiences which resulted in you being where you are today, it is equally important not to allow yourself to become so caught up in thoughts of the past that the present day passes you by.

        Self-motivation is the key to ensuring that you do not continue repeating the same mistakes. You may have had one or more errors in judgment which led you to take the wrong path, or to make mistakes that were not in your best interest. You can acknowledge this without rehashing (重复谈论) them over and over again in your mind, and simply be determined to make different, better decisions today.

    Then is over; this is now. The less time and effort you put into looking at the past, the more you will have for living and experiencing this day. You will also find that letting go of the past will give you a deeper sense of strength. Instead of allowing past mistakes and worries to drain your energies, you will have a renewed energy to live your life to the fullest and enjoy it more.

    Being content with yourself and optimistic (乐观的) about your future is not difficult. Whatever is in the past is over; learn from it and move on. When you are self-motivated enough to do this, you will see that moving ahead is the best definition of living life.

    With that said, what can you do now? Sure it is easy for me to tell you to forget the past, yet it is a whole different practice to actually do it. Life is a complex set of events, much of which of course is real, yet a large amount is just your view of what really happened.

    The first step in trying to minimize (最小化) the effects of your past in order to concentrate on your future is to find out how much of the past that you are certain happened was just mistakes on your part.

    68. In order to enjoy one’s life fully, one should ________.

    A. think more about his personality and life in the past

    B. be determined to make different and better decisions

    C. acknowledge his choices and experiences

    D. let go of the past and experience today

    69. Which of the following best summarizes the writer’s view of the past?

    A. One should be content with himself and optimistic about the future.

    B. Moving ahead without looking back can help concentrate on one’s life.

    C. One should be self-motivated to learn from the past and concentrate on future.

    D. Finding out the mistakes on one’s part can help minimize the effects of the past.

    70. Which of the following can be the best title?

    A. Work with the “Now”                            B. Being Where You Are Today  

    C. Concentrate on Your Future                    D. Self-motivation, a Key to Future

    科目：高中英语 来源：2010年内蒙古通辽一中高一下学期期末考试英语卷 题型：阅读理解

    Although the US is so big and its people have so many different racial backgrounds, it is in some ways less varied than Europe．The English language is used almost everywhere in its American form．The American way of speaking has developed independently of English and is on the whole closer to what can be heard in Ireland.
    Another example of uniformity(一致)is in habits and ways of living．From Boston to Los Angeles it is as far as from France to Central Asia, and from east to west there are five time zones; but everywhere people get up and go to bed at about the same time, eat the same kind of food, buy in the same kind of shops, work and rest at the same time of the day and have the same pattern of holidays．In most of the things that matter there is less difference between rich people and ordinary people or between town and country, than in any single European nation.
    Although far more food is produced than the present population needs, America is actually an urban society．Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in (从事) agriculture and most of the rest live in or around towns large and small．Here the traditional picture is changing; most Americans do not live in small towns any more．Half the population now live in some thirty metropolitan (大城市的) areas.
    The fact that the United States has always been a single economic unit has contributed to uniformity．Modern industry favors large organization, and it is no accident that the world’s biggest commercial firms are American．The people can choose between the products of competing manufacturers (制造商) but the products are all much alike.
    【小题1】In describing the uniformity in the U.S．the author does not mention that the American people       .

    A．get up and go to work at the same time
    B．spend their holidays in the same pattern
    C．buy and eat the same kind of food
    D．have more or less the same income
    【小题2】What can we learn from the passage about the U.S．agriculture?
    A．The American farmers need more land.
    B．Americans are interested in farming.
    C．It is now going backward.
    D．It is quite developed.
    【小题3】The last paragraph suggests that ___      .
    A．the production size in the United States is very big
    B．a single economic unit produces the same kind of products
    C．there are more and more competing manufactures
    D．people can choose from all kinds of products that are similar.
    【小题4】The underlined part “In most of the things that matter” probably refers to      .
    A．in most basic things such as food, clothing and houses
    B．in the more expensive things such as cars, TV sets, etc
    C．in their land, housing and bank savings
    D．in their wealth and income

    认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

    注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上。

    The standard of living of any country means the average person's share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country’s standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its ability to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy, “goods” such as food and clothing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment.

    A country's ability to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a very large degree upon a country's natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile (肥沃的)soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of these things, and some regions possess none of them. The USA is one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders(边疆), her soil is fertile, and her climate is of great variety. The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy.

    Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. Sound and stable (稳定的)political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion(侵略), enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered.

    Another important factor is the technical efficiency(效能) of a country's people. Old countries that have, through many centuries, trained up numerous(无数的) skilled craftsmen and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled.

    Wealth also produces wealth. As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin(富余)for saving, and can put their savings(储蓄) into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working day.

    Title

    People's (1)_____ standard

    of wealth
