    I was diagnosed with cancer in September 2005, after discovering a small lump in my neck. All seemed well after the lump had been removed. However, a follow-up blood test revealed that the cancer had spread. I underwent chemotherapy(化疗), and within four months I lost nearly 20kg, all my hair and energy.

    I got a tentative all-clear(解除警报)two days after my 28 the birthday. To me, it signaled a new start, and I couldn’t wait to get on with my life. The doctors told me that it would be months before I could get back to my old activity levels, but I just didn’t want to accept this. I wanted to be normal again –now, not in six months.

    So I started by simply walking around Edinburgh. Each day I would get home four or five hours later feeling like I had run a marathon. After less than six weeks, I half-ran, half-crawled up Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh. I spent the next couple of days in bed recovering, but soon after that I was back in the gym.

    My diet had never been great before I fell ill --- I was a real vegetable-phobe(厌恶蔬菜的人)， and to some extent I still am. Nowadays, though, I make myself eat more natural foods. I have discovered that a good blender and a slow-cooker help make foods I don’t like bearable.

    When one suffers a physical setback, emotional support from others is important. Still, there are things only you can do for yourself; at the end of the day, you are the one going through it. I went back to work, and now have started a company to take my passion for health and fitness forward. I believe that what holds most people back is a poor mental attitude and lack of determination. You can achieve whatever you want; you just have to work hard at it.

    I guess I always knew about the little fish treat, but this past summer it was all I could see. Pipin and Nemo were balancing on one front flipper(鳍), flying through hoops, dancing with the trainer, and we were all applauding — the little kids screaming with delight. That’s when the trainer, who wore a little treat bag on her belt, slipped Pipin and Nemo a fish. Each time they successfully performed a trick, they’d get an immediate reward.

    These creatures weren’t really dancing, of course. They were performing a series of movements that they knew would produce a fish. It’s such a good show because the sea lions look like they’re having such fun. These talented performers who love to be in front of an audience seem almost human.

    Somewhere in our faith journey, we all have a sea lion moment. You see how you’ve spent years jumping through hoops, balancing a ball on your nose, not because it’s really who you are, but because you’ve always done it and the system rewarded you for your performance. But when you’ve done that for ten or twenty years, you start to ask yourself, “Whose approval am I working for? What do I really believe?” Suddenly you see it: you’ve spent most all your life taking direction from other people. They’ve told you what to believe in, what to work for, what to value, how to live your life. You don’t want to end your life like Sinclair Lewis’s George Babbitt, the middle-aged real-estate broker(经纪人) who has everything and reached the top. But on the last page of Babbitt, George is speaking to his son Ted, who cannot follow in his father’s steps. He wants to leave college and head off on his own way. “Dad, I can’t stand it any more,” the boy says. “Maybe it’s all right for some fellows. Maybe I’ll want to go back some day, but now, I want to get into mechanics.” Babbitt, seeming old and subdued, says, “I’ve never done a single thing I’ve wanted to in my whole life!”

    The Good-Bye Gate brings us naturally to a second passage, leading from dependency to self-possession. As you start separating from the whole worn-out system, you discover that where there is supposed to be a self, there really isn’t.

    1.The sea lions were pleased to perform in front of the audience because they ____.

    A. will be punished if it refuses it

    B. wants to win the trainer’s favor

    C. wants to get audiences’ applauses

    D. can get food as a reward that way

    2.While watching the sea lions’ performance, the author ____.

    A. realized an important life philosophy

    B. recalled the similar scene of last year

    C. couldn’t help shouting and dancing

    D. was happy to see them living freely

    3.By saying “we all have a sea lion moment”, the author means that ____.

    A. anyone can make it so long as they work hard

    B. sometimes we don’t act following our own will

    C. we can also get rewarded if we do something well

    D. every human being also has his happy moment

    4.What do you learn about George Babbitt?

    A. He has been living a free life of his own.

    B. His son ends up Babbitt family’s business.

    C. He tends to agree to his son’s choice of life.

    D. His son decides to follow his father’s steps.

    5.Which can be the best title for this passage?

    A. Challenge YourselfB. Summer Vacation Fun

    C. No Pains, No GainsD. Now I Become Myself

    One summer I was driving from my hometown of Tahoe City, California, to New Orleans. In the middle of the desert, I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him. There was a time in the country when you’d be considered a stupid person if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, thieves everywhere, “I don’t want to get involved” has become a national motto.

    Several states later I was still thinking about the hitch-hiker(免费搭车的人). Leaving him standing in the desert did not bother me so much. What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision. I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator(加速器).

    Does anyone stop any more? I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois’s family line: “I have always depended on the kindness of the strangers”. Could anyone rely on the kindness of the strangers these days? One way to test this would be for a person to journey from coast to coast without any money, relying only on the good will of his fellow Americans. What kind of Americans would he find? Who would feed him, shelter him, and carry him down the road?

    The idea interested me.

    So I decided to travel from the Pacific to the Atlantic without a penny. It would be a cashless journey through the land of the almighty dollar. I would only accept offers of rides, food and a place to rest my head. My final destination would be Cape Fear in North Carolina, a symbol of all the fears I’d have to conquer during the trip.

    I rose early on September 6, 1994, and headed for the Golden Gate Bridge with a 50-pound pack on my back and a sign displaying my destination to passing vehicles: “America”.

    For six weeks I hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. As I traveled, folks were always warning me about someplace else. In Montana they told me to watch out for the cowboys in Wyoming; in Nebraska they said people would not be as nice as in Iowa. Yet I was amazed by people’s readiness to help a stranger, even when it seemed against their own best interests.

    1.Why did the author drive past the young man in the desert without stopping?

    A. Because he failed to notice this man.

    B. Because he was driving too fast.

    C. Because he was afraid of being cheated.

    D. Because he thought the young man didn’t need help.

    2.What was it that made the author upset?

    A. Making the decision of not offering help so easily.

    B. Leaving the young man alone in the desert.

    C. Being considered a fool.

    D. Keeping thinking about the young man.

    3.What is the structure of the text?

    A. ①—②③④—⑤—⑥⑦

    B. ①②—③④—⑤⑥⑦

    C. ①②—③④⑤⑥—⑦

    D. ①②③—④—⑤⑥⑦

    4.The author decided to travel without a penny in order to ___________.

    A. find out how long he could survive without help

    B. figure out how strangers thought of his plan

    C. go through the great difficulty in surviving unexpected environment

    D. find out whether strangers would offer help to him

    5.The following part might probably___________.

    A. describe how the author fooled the strangers

    B. describe how strangers went out their way to help the author

    C. explain why people refused to help strangers

    D. explain how the author overcame his difficulties on the way
