17．The Rugby （英式橄榄球） World Cup is currently being held in New Zealand．The tournament，due to finish on October 23，is living up to the famous English saying，"Rugby is a thug's （暴徒） game played by gentlemen．"
The games are physically aggressive； the tackles （冲撞） on the pitch are brutal； but the end of each match is a civilized affair．Players shake hands and applaud each other．Of course，the other side to this saying is："Football is a gentleman's game played by thugs．"Indeed，unlike soccer players，rugby players don't often question the referee's （裁判员） decisions or pretend to be injured when they are not．
"Football could learn a lot from rugby，"said Brian Moore，a former England rugby player"The wonderful spirit of rugby is：there is a gentlemanly code to it．You play hard on the pitch，but you always respect your opponent．
Rugby is mainly played in Europe．Australia，New Zealand and parts of Africa．"It is more enjoyable to play than soccer because you are always involved in the game，"said Peter，a Welsh rugby coach．"Rugby is also a far superior test of strength，stamina （耐力） and determination．"
Most professional rugby players are large，strong and weigh over 90kilograms．People who play the sport need to be tough and be prepared to get hurt．Black eyes，broken bones，lost teeth and being knocked unconscious-all these are common injuries．Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is blind in one eye thanks to a rugby accident at school．
In England，children begin playing the game at school at the age of 8．When they enter high school，many begin to play full contact rugby．Children are taught to play for around one hour a week during their PE lessons．Most schools have a rugby team．Children who play for the school team are usually the sportiest kids，and are seen as brave and athletic．

41． What can be concluded from the first three paragraphs？B
A．Football players are not real gentlemen．
B．There is a better spirit in playing rugby than football．
C．Football players are not as athletic as rugby players．
D．Brian Moore thinks that rules should be stricter in football．
42． According to the passage，Peter thinksC．
A．rugby players pretend to be injured when they are not
B．rugby is not very popular in America and Asia
C．rugby makes people enjoy sports better than soccer
D．rugby needs players'strong will rather than strength

C．support the point that rugby players often get hurt

44．What can we infer from the passage？D
A．Teenagers will lose interest in football．
B．English children have a talent for rugby．
C．Playing rugby doesn't involve skills．
D．Rugby is not suitable for everyone．

13．How to Motivate Yourself to Study
Studying can be one of life's most boring activities．（56）FBut you can change your attitude towards the hardship of studying by reminding yourself of a few basic but important truths!
Remind yourself of your purpose．（57）C Where do you see yourself in 5，10，or even 20years？The time you spend studying now will help to make your future dream a reality．Whether you are working towards a degree，a special skill，or some type of personal achievement，the act of studying is like a bridge between where you are now and where you want to be in the future．!
（58）B A well-educated person is a powerful person．Knowledge is priceless．A well-educated，knowledgeable person is a person who is able to navigate and excel better within the world around him/her．
Dare yourself to succeed．（59）G  When you get over the barriers，you'll realize that personal achievement and fulfillment are wonderful things．Allow yourself to do the things that can contribute to your personal achievement and fulfillment-like studying!
Always keep a positive attitude．Your attitude towards study can have a huge impact on your motivation!（60）E  But if you have a positive attitude towards your study，you will be able to boost motivation，just by having a positive attitude towards it．

A．Is it never too old to learn？
B．Realize knowledge is power．
C．What are your goals in life？
D．Devote your spare time and energy to study．
E．Thinking negatively is not helpful and will not help you to get motivated．
F．In fact，the very nature of studying goes against the basic human desire to maximize pleasure．
G．Tell yourself you can successfully overcome any real or imagined difficulty standing in your way．

11．"Three Apples"changed the world．The first one seduced （引诱） Eve．The second one awakened Newton．（36）G Here are some famous words from Steve Jobs to share．
On Character
I'm the only person I know who's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year．（37）B
On good design
That's been one of my mottoes-focus and simplicity．Simple can be harder than complex-You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple．But it's worth it in the end because once you get there，you can move mountains．
On his outlook （人生观）
（38）A Going to bed at night saying we've done something wonderful，that's what matters to me．
On your working life
Your work is to fill a large part of your life，and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work．（39）E If you haven't found it，keep looking．Don't settle．
On the importance of death
No one wants to die．Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there．（40）C No one has ever escaped it．And that is as it should be，because death is very likely the single best invention of life．It is life's change agent．It clears out the old to make way for the new．Right now the new is you，but someday not too long from now，you will gradually become the old and be cleared away．

A．Being the richest man in the cemetery （墓地） doesn't matter to me．
B．It's very character-building．
C．And yet death is the destination we all share．
D．It's really hard to design products by focusing on groups
E．And the only way to do great work is to love what you do．
F．This is not a one-man show．
G．The third one was in the hands of Steve Jobs．

We（52）Aoften in the hallways when we were coming or going．I（53）Dspoke，but the only（54）CI ever got was a hello from the four-year-old girl．
