It is not so much what happens to each of us that determines our quality of life, but rather our reaction to what happens. Though we may have no     36    in unexpected events that happen to us, we most certainly have choice in   37  we interpret what happens, and in whatwe choose to do about it. These choices make all the   38   in how we experience our world and very much determine our   39    of life. 
Neither does what we own    40   a major role in quality of life. One person with all the money and possessions in the world may have a  41  life, while another in the lowest income classes may    42  love their life. It is what we do with what we own that   43  our level of satisfaction and joy in life. It's not what you   44   or what happens to you in life that    45   , but rather what you do with it.  
Every    46   something is happening in our lives. And every moment we    47   or a judgment about what happens. By choosing to become more  48  of how we react to what happens, we can   49  towards what we really want in our lives.   50   following habitual, reactive patterns which   51  more of the same, we can recognize and  52  our old habits to move powerfully in the  53  of creating the life we really want. Yet to do this, we must first find the    54  to look at some of the disempowering, often unconscious   55  which get in the way and don't serve to increase our quality of life. But by continually reminding ourselves of our intention to be creators, we can transform our life.

决定我们的生活质量好坏的因素,不是发生在我们每个人身上的事情,而是我们对这些事情所作出的反应;我们不是生活的被动承受者,而是人生主动的创造者,明白了这一点,我们就能改变我们的人生。
36.C 根据下空可以看出答案,意思是“我们的生活品质很大一部分并非取决于发生了什么,而是我们的处事态度。纵然我们无法选择发生在我们身上的意外,但我们理所当然可以选择怎样理解和处理所发生的事情。” sure应该和take搭配。这些选择造就了我们所体验生活的不同,并很大程度上决定了我们的生活质量。
37.A
38.B
39. B 根据文章大意及第一句可知,此处应为“生活质量”,非“类型”和“水平”。
40.B  play a major role短语,意思为“我们所拥有的东西也不构成决定生活质量的主要因素。”
41.A 拥有世界上所有财富的人也可能过着悲惨的生活。
42.C 与上一句相对应,一个拥有全世界金钱和资产的人依然可能生活得很痛苦,而收入位于最低列的另外一个人则可能绝对热爱他的生活。本题易误选D。
43.C 此句为强调句型(It…that…)。我们如何对待我们所拥有的才真正影响我们满意水准和生活乐趣。本题易误选D。
44.D  possess“拥有”,在意义上与上下文保持一致,符合题意要求;而lack 意为“缺乏”, need“需要”,reserve意为“保留;预计”均不合题意。句意为“你拥有什么或者发生了什么都不重要,你怎样看待和处理这些才至关重要。”
45.D  matter“有关系,有重要性”。本题易误选C。
46.D 每时每刻,而不是每一次。参考47空可知。
47.C  And every moment we make interpretations or judgments about what happens.make a mistake犯错误、弄错了;make a discovery发现;make a decision
做出决定;make a fortune赚一笔钱。生活的每一刻都在发生着什么。每一刻我们也都在作出决定和判定到底发生了什么。
48.A  be conscious of“意识到”。句意为“通过有意识的选择怎样应付发生的事情,我们可以更接近我们生命中真正想要的。” 本题易误选D。
49.B  shift“改变,移动”,shift to/toward;alter,改变;differ,是difference的动词形式,意思是“不同……”,differ in...,“在某方面或某事上不同”的意思; distinguish,后面常跟介词from或between,意思是:“从……中区别出来,不同”。比较这四个词的意义及用法,可以看出只有B才是正确答案。本题易误选D。
50.B 不再采用很少变化的习惯性地应对方式,这些方式(会)导致同样的结局。本题易误选C。
51.A  lead to“导致”。参考上句。lie in后加原因。本题易误选C。
52.B 句意为“我们可以意识到并将我们的旧习有力地向创造我们想要的生活方向转变。”
53.C  in the direction of“朝……方向”。参考上句。
54.D 然而要做到这一点,我们首先必须有勇气审视某些消沉面,通常无意识/潜意识行为会过来挡道,阻碍我们提升生活的品质。本题易误选C。
55.A  pattern指“模式,行为”; frame指“框架”;landscape指“风景线”;example指“范例,榜样”,可见A为正确答案。

On the first day of my new high school, I almost had a nervous breakdown. Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You're nervous and that's okay. Everyone is afraid of high school. ”I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.
On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle that I couldn't figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be? I didn't think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it!The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably right.
Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out.
With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad.  It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.
Since then, I've been elected vice president of my class, which wasn't much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions.
It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because you’ll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn't straight A’s.
Most important of all, be who you are , whether you're a “fool”, an athlete, or a lower grader. Don't try to pretend to be someone you're not. Now you know the true secrets of high school.
60. The main reason for the authors fear on his first day is that          .
A. he was unable to work out the puzzle
B. his schoolmates were unfriendly to him
C. he was not familiar with the new surroundings
D. his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry

B
Increasing Noise Annoys
People want action on noise, a recent public meeting in Brisbane showed. Some want technical improvements such as quieter air conditioners or better sound barriers around major roads. Others want tougher laws to restrict noise from building sites or to require owners to take responsibility for barking dogs. But the highest priority (优先) was a noise complaints system that works.
Brisbane City Council receives more complaints about noise than all other problems put together. So it conducted survey and found that about half its citizens are upset by noise in one form or another—traffic, mowers, pool pumps, air conditioners or loud parties. This inspired the Council to bring together more than 100 citizens one evening to talk through solutions to the problem.
The meeting found the present noise complaints system bizarre. Depending on the problem, responsibility for noise can lie with the Council, the Environment Protection Authority, one of three government departments or even the police. So complaints often feel they are getting the run-round. When the people at the meeting were asked to vote for changes, the strongest response was for a 24-hour noise hotline to be the first port of call for all complaints.
The meeting also favored regulatory measures, such as tougher minimum standards for noise in appliances like air conditioners. This even makes economic sense, as noise is a waste of energy—and money. Other measures the meeting supported were wider buffer zones around noisy activities and controls to keep heavy traffic away from residential areas(居民区).
