12.How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never gain anything in life.However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
(36)C Many people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work.These people have little motivation once they arrive home.Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active.Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task.Others take a more positive approach,vewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.(37)F
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them.A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.(38)G Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.Couples and children may all have different energy levels,but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.(39)A Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
(40)DEnough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle,thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A.To fight family laziness,set an example.
B.Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C.One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
D.Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E.With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal.
F.Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.
G.Create a reward system for yourself,just as parents do for a child.

40.答案D.后文中提到"Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle",讲述了锻炼和平衡饮食.可推测此空白处应填写此段的主旨句.通读选项大意,故选D.

3.Most people make a donation if they want to help those in need.And they hope that if they join demonstrations or hand out leaflets,they'll make others aware of the terrible conditions some people face.But 47-year-old British comedian,Eddie Izzard,did something completely different.He decided to raise money by running 1,100 miles through England,Wales,Northern Ireland and Scotland.And he managed to raise more than£200,000!
    How long did it take him to run 1,100 miles?Believe it or not,it took him just 51 days.For six days out of every seven he ran at least 26 miles.In other words,he ran 43 marathons in less than two months,before he finished in great style and pouring rain in London's Trafalgar Square!
    When asked how he felt,he told the BBC that he was planning to"sleep for a week".He thanked the people who had waited for him in Trafalgar Square despite the rain.They had all come to support him and to applaud his incredible achievement.
    And the comedian admitted that his journey was pretty painful.He had to have his feet bandaged every day but still lost several of his toenails,and he had blisters (水泡)all over his feet.He wouldn't have been able to do what he did if he hadn't taken ice baths for his legs at the end of each day.These baths helped to"stop your legs inflating to twice the size of an elephant",as Eddie commented.
    People who have no idea about running and experts alike are impressed with what he has achieved.Andy Dixon,editor of Runner's World,a magazine for long-distance runners,says,"Covering 26 miles in a day at whatever speed for 43 runs,it's demanding.A five-hour marathon is fairly decent pace.It's a massive achievement.
So,how did he do it?Well,when he decided to run,he wasn't even particularly fit.He ran his marathons slowly at first.Ten hours a day to begin with and,as he got fitter,he got faster.In the end he was finishing in just over five hours.But fitness alone was not enough.What was more important was the fact that he wanted to make a difference to other people's lives.
    What Eddie Izzard did was so special that the documentary of his run has been made into an inspiring film:Believe!"You've got to believe you can be something else,"Eddie says in the film."I've done that a few times.That's why I keep going."
 (Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN THIRTEEN WORDS)

78.How do most people help those in need?Bymakingadonation,joiningdemonstrationsorhandingoutleaflets.
79.What did people do to support Eddie?PeoplewaitedforhiminTrafalgarSquaredespitetherain.
80.What measures did Eddie take to ensure his marathons every day?Hehadhisfeetbandagedandtookicebathsforhislegs.

20.While other students were taking part in workshops or planning baths for their pets on a typical Thursday morning,I spent mine doing an internship(实习)at Western Massachusetts Labor Action,a non-profit organization that helps low-income members of society.
Upon arriving there,I didn't know what to expect.Do people just come in and ask for food?Is there more paperwork or in-the-field action?This opportunity,however,helped me to answer my questions.

I was amazed at this man and his family's situation,but was even more impressed that my supervisor had saved them from a hardship like a whole winter without heat.My supervisor was a superhero!From that moment on,I have had great respect for all forms of community service and felt thankful that I could be a part of it-giving back what I have to the community and helping others achieve happiness.

7.Two of the saddest words in the English language are"if only".I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words,because they convey regret,lost opportunities,mistakes,and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying,"Take the extra minute to do it right."I always try to live by the"extra minute"rule.When my children were young and likely to cause accidents,I always thought about what I could do to avoid an"if only"moment,whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter,or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don't only avoid those"if only"moments when it comes to safety.It's equally important to avoid"if only"in our personal relationships.We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say"I love you"or"I forgive you."When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday,I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn't be here.But then I thought about the fact that he's 84years old and I realized that I shouldn't give up an opportunity to see him.I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say"if only"about something,but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality.And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right,or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection,I know that I'm doing the right thing.I'm buying myself peace of mind and that's the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.
59.Which of the following is an example of the"extra minute"rule?D
A.Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B.Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.
C.Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.
D.Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.
60.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday toB.
A.keep her appointment with the eye doctor
B.meet her father who was already an old man
C.join in the holiday celebration of the company
D.finish her work before the deadline approached
61.The underlined word"foregone"in Paragraph 3is closest in meaning toA.
A.abandoned    B.lackedC.avoidedD.wasted
62.What is the best title for the passage?B
A.The Emotional Well-being
B.The Two Saddest Words
C.The Most Useful Rule
D.The Peace of Mind.
