Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is “Don’t!” B ut it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, although the chances of his becoming famous are slim. The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress, takes up work with a theatrical company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, publicity (宣传, taking care of the costumes and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed, the hours are long and the salary is tiny.

Of course, some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his car. He stopped and got out to speak to the girl. He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. The test was successful. And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!

US President Barack Obama may have just made life more difficult for cigarette makers, but he still smokes every now and then in secret.

Obama, who has publicly struggled to quit smoking, said he still hasn't completely kicked the habit even after signing a law this week that will likely set tough new rules for the tobacco industry.

"As a former smoker I constantly struggle with it. Have I fallen off the wagon sometimes? Yes. Am I a daily smoker, a constant smoker? No," Obama said at a news conference.

"I don't do it in front of my kids, l don't do it in front of my family. I would say that I am 95 percent cured, but there are times where I mess up," he said.

The new law gives the US Food and Drug Administration the power to strictly limit the making and marketing of tobacco products.

At a White House signing ceremony Monday, Obama said that he was among the nearly 90 percent of smokers who took up the habit before their 18th birthday.

"Once you go down this path it's something you continually struggle with, which is exactly why the law we signed is so important because what we don't want is kids going down that path in the

first place," he said at the news conference.

Nearly 20 percent of Americans smoke and tobacco use kills about 440,000 people a year in the United States due to cancer, heart disease, and other serious diseases.

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother's Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother has long realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on the phone to pretend I was she.1 was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her

stockbroker (股票经纪人. I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, "This is Mrs. Tan."

And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, "Why he don't send me check, already two week late. "

And then, in perfect English I said," I'm getting rather anxious. You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn't arrived."

Then she talked more loudly. "What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss." And so I turned to the stockbroker again, "I can't tolerate any more excuse. If I

don't receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week."

The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.

When I was a teenager, my mother's broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother's English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

54. Why was the author's mother poorly served?

A. She was unable to speak good English

B. She was often misunderstood.

C. She was not clearly heard.

B. they failed to get the check

C. they went to New York immediately

D. they spoke to their boss at once

B. It embarrasses her.

C. It helps her understand the world.

D. It helps her tolerate rude people.

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and- so's fault." or "I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down." It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy(补救 the situation. This is the winner's key to success.

Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.

This is what being a winner is all about--creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

58. According to the passage, winners________.

A. deal with problems rather than blame others

B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives

C. have responsible and able colleagues

D. blame themselves rather than others

59. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should_______.

A. find a better way to handle the problem

B. blame him for his lack of responsibility

C. tell him to find the cause of the problem

D. ask a more able colleague for help

60. When problems occur, winners take them as _______.

A. excuses for their failures

B. barriers to greater power

C. challenges to their colleagues

D. chances for self-development

61. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. A Winner's Secret.

B. A Winner's Problem.

C. A Winner's Opportunity.

D. A Winner's Achievement.

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it. Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a person's name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the names in a way that does not sound forced or artificial. Ask the other person to recite and repeat. You can let other people help you remember their names. After you've been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you are making to learn their names. Admit you don't know. In fact, admit that you can't remember someone's name can make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say, "I am working to remember names better. Yours is on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?" Use associations(联想. Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example,

you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng- tall, black hair." To reinforce(加强 your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible. Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later. Go early Consider going early to meetings, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. That's fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others- an automatic review for you. 62. How will most people feel when you try hard to remember their names? A. They will be moved B. They will be annoyed C. They will be happy D. They will be discouraged 63. If you can't remember someone's name, you may_______. A. tell him the truth B. tell him a white lie C. ask him for pity D. ask others to help you 64. When you meet a group of people, it is better to remember _______. A. all their names B. a couple of names first C. just their last names D. as many names as possible 65. What does the text mainly tell us? A. Tips on an important social skill. B. Importance of attending parties. C. How to make use of associations. D. How to recite and repeat names. 第 II 卷注意事项：用 0.5 毫米黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答。在试卷上作答，答案无效。第四部分写（共两节，满分 40 分）第一节短文填词（共 10 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 20 分）阅读下面短文，根据短文意思，从方框中选择一个适当的词填入短文的相应空格处，使短文意义准确，内容连贯。 cooked、darkness、higher、leading、lights、lucky、map、sign、surely、worried
