    A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practise   48   others the joy of being right-      give them the glory.   49  correcting.

The people in your life will become less defensive and more   52  . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have 53.

    Think back to this time last year. What was on your mind?
    Most likely, you were thinking about finals or the holidays, although in this city I’ve noticed that thinking about the holiday is a fancy way of saying how much stuff will I get.
    Now reflect on your thoughts for this holiday season. Most people are still thinking about the holidays, but I say that with a grain of salt. Everybody with a functioning brain and the ability to communicate knows that this holioday season comes with a pretty large price tag: the debt of all the hardships, both domestic and foreign, that we’ve faced over the past 12months.
    Let’s face it: some of us will get everything we want over the holidays. But there are others whose parents have lost their jobs or who have lost jobs themselves because of the current economic situation. As much as we try to ignore it, there is still economic unrest in the blue and gold suburb.
    In this situation, we have three options. One: We ignore the situation, like we seem to do for every bad thing that happens around us, because by God, it’s the American Way! Two: We recognize that our economy is shot, feel bad about it and spend our time wishing for the good old days. Three: We recognize that our economy is shot, but instead of moping, reflect on every good thing that we have going for us. Now, which option sounds best to you?
    I spent a week this summer working in and around New York City with the city’s homeless population. Or so I thought. Although a lot of the people I served were in fact homeless, a significant number of them had a job or a home or both. The truth of the importance of this situation is that they and thousands of others across the country can’t afford even the most basic things of life, even while working two jobs. Yet no one that I met complained about their hardships. Instead, they took whatever I happened to give them(which was, more often than enough, not enough) and were genuinely grateful for what they had.
    Wrap your heads around that statement for a second. These people worked their butts off to stay alive with minimal results, yet were overjoyed by a flimsy(脆弱的) paper plate with donated green beans on it. Although I am ashamed to admit it( both as a girthy figure and an affluent citizen), I have taken for granted most of my meals, let alone green beans, and I know for a fact that I am not alone.
    64. 小题1:According to the passage when people think about holidays they care much for ____.
    A．where to spend their holidaysB．how to spend their holidays
    C．what they can get for their holidaysD．who they should go to visit
    65. 小题2:When the author wrote the article, the economic situation in his country ____.
    A．began to go bad.B．began to improveC．was still seriousD．was favorable for middle class.
    66. 小题3:The author wrote the article mainly to advise people____.
    A．to be thankful in time of hardship.B．to spend their holidays in a wise way
    C．to think little about their holidaysD．to help the country to sail through the crisis
    67. 小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that the writer is most probably ______.
    A．a homeless childB．an old professorC．a famous scientistD．a young student

    Piercings（穿洞）have moved up on the trend list in recent Tattoos（纹身）and body years. Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and flesh ink. Like all other subjects, we’ll surely be faced with such situation. To get a better view of what has happened in the West, let’s sit down and hear what they say.
    Kerstin Otto from Washington:
    The hotter it gets and the more layers of clothing disappear, the more tattoos and piercings appear on various places of the human body, I wouldn’t be caught dead with a snake tattooed on my ankle or with a piece of metal stuck in my belly button.
    Tiara from Indiana:
    I personally think body piercing is sickening. If there were supposed to be holes in your body, you would have been born with them. I do, however, think that ear piercing, is not wrong.  There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing. Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous. I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button.
    Lee from Illinois:
    Hi! I live in Illinois. I am 23. I have 12 tattoos and three piercings. I love my tattoos
    and consider myself an art collector. You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs-up on my art work. People on the street stop me to look at that on my leg. Most of them don’t know what it is. They just think the work itself is great.
    Nagib from Washington:
    I wanted an earring. My friends had them and it looked like a cool thing. I wanted to get a nose ring, but my mum wouldn’t let me. Now I’m glad I didn’t get it. I just wanted a little stud, but I wouldn’t have looked good with it.
    Jackson from Ohio:
    I don’t think it’s wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything —I think that’s ridiculous. People who get the big dragons that cover your whole body—I don’t think that’s necessary. When I see naked chicks on guys, I think. “You have no respect for women.”
    Brittney from New York:
    You don’t want to do stuff to your body. You don t need to do that because you were made perfect. You don’t need to add piercings. If it will make you feel beautiful and you really feel like you need to do it for yourself, then okay. If it really makes a big difference impacting your self-esteem and how you are towards others, then do it. But otherwise, don’t mess with what you got. Maybe you should try something more substantial（充实的）to find beauty in yourself.
    60. Who is wholeheartedly lost in tattoos and piercing?
    A. Tiara           B. Kerstin           C. Nagib.           D. Lee.
    61. Who doesn’t think tattoos and piercing are beautiful?
    A. Jackson.          B. Brittney.           C. Tiara.           D. Nagib.
    62. We can conclude that ________.
    A. tattoos and piercing are a new kind of elegant art
    B. all the teachers in the West are in favor of tattoos and piercing
    C. everything is changeable with time going on
    D. it is necessary to live with all different views of beauty
    63. The best title for this passage is probably _________.
    A. Body Art or Damage                    B. Damage to the Youth’s Body
    C. Young People’s Different Curiosities       D. A Great Anxiety About Young People

    Neither of us could know how our relationship would   52   over the years. When I first came back to DeMatha to teach English, I worked for Dr. Offutt, the department chair.

    After several years, I was   54     department chair, and our relationship shifted again. I thought that it might be  55   to chair the department, since all of my former English teachers were  56  there, but Dr. Offutt supported me  57    .

I’ve learned from him that great teachers have an inexhaustible wealth of lessons to teach. Even if his students don’t know it yet, I know how   64   they are: I’m still one of them.

    There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people  36  to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you  37  is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you   38   others. Because while there will be times  39  outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely  40 . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are  41 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision  42   anyway.
    You were   43   with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and  44  the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone
    against your own   45  .
    Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of  46  a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the   47   necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to   48   on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being   49  to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior  50  knew more than I did, and so I  51  too much significance to their opinions.
    You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in  52  . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by  53  and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to  54   this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to   55  and to life. 
    36. A. easy                                   B. ready                               C. unwilling                         D. hard
    37. A. lead                                    B. lend                                  C. take                                 D. earn
    38. A. look at                      B. pick up                   C. turn to                   D. learn from

    How do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations indicate that there are several keys to success that successful people share.
    First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live a life “on purpose”---- they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. They love what they do ---- and it shows. People want to do business with them because of their commitment(忠诚). To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to work hard whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Top achievers always bear in mind what they don’t have.
