53．A．ahead B．down C．up D．over 【查看更多】

We've all met with something that slows us down, for example, the bump(颠簸)in the road，the setback. You just have to keep in mind that a setback is only temporary and greater things lie ahead. Therefore, keep moving forward, developing what you have, since you've already built a solid foundation on which you can rely.

It is easy just to quit，give up and ignore the hard work you have put into something. But we believe in the “two steps forward, one step back” philosophy (哲学). So how can you react when something doesn't turn out as you've expected it to be?

First，be objective. Step back and look at the situation. Is your setback really that significant，or will it just require a little extra effort? Then, plan your next move. You can ask for help. Don't be afraid or ashamed to do this. Frequently, people are more than willing to give you support and advice.You don't have to be perfect; after all, nobody else is. Next, bounce back. Reevaluate the goals you have set for yourself at the beginning and retool(改组) them as necessary. Goals should be realistic and specific, but that doesn't mean they can't be flexible. Instead of looking at your project as a disaster or a failure, view it with success. Concentrate on how great it will feel after it is finally done, after you have put your all into it. Instead of focusing on a possible unsatisfactory performance one single time, take a moment to sit back and reward yourself for all that you have accomplished.

Above all，don't live with regrets. Success is never easy. It remains up to you whether you will give up, or fight through the tough battles to earn whatever you want. Keep reaching for your goals and you will achieve them. One small setback is nothing if you really want something and are willing to work for it.

67．According to the passage, the philosophy“two steps forward, one step back” means that ________ when meeting with a setback.

A. we are supposed to quit and ignore the hard work

B. we'd better think it over before making a decision

C. we should stop to think before taking further action

D. we are expected to look at things in an allround way

68．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to________.

A. a performance B. a success

C. a goal D. a project

69．When suffering a setback，the most important thing to do is________.

A. to keep moving forward to your goals

B. to depend on others' support and advice

C. to sit back and reward yourself for your success

D. to focus on a possible unsatisfactory performance

70．What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to avoid the bumps.

B. How to deal with the setbacks.

C. Different attitudes to the setbacks.

D. Different suggestions on your goals.

     "The world has never been a better place to live in,"says science writer Matt Ridley,"and it will keep
on getting better．" Ridley's critics have accused him of his views on climate change and the free market．Yet Ridley,54,sticks to his guns．"It is not mad to believe in a happy future for people and the planet．
"he says．Ridley,who's been a foreign correspondent,a zoologist,an economist,and a financier,brings a
broad view to his sunny outlook．"People say I'm bonkers to claim the world will go on getting better.
yet I can't stop myself,"he says．Read on to see how Ridley makes his case．
     Compared with 50 years ago,when I was just four years old,the average human now earns nearly
three times as much money,eats one third more calories,and can expect to live one third longer．In fact,
it's hard to find any region of the world that's worse off now than it was then,even though the global
population has more than doubled over that period．
     City citizens take up less space,use less energy,and have less impact on natural ecosystems than
country livers．The world's cities now contain over half its people,but they occupy less than 3 percent
of its land．Urban growth may worry environmentalism,but living in the country is not the best way to
care for the earth．The best thing we can do for the planet is build more skyscrapers．
     The rich get richer,but the poor do even better．Between 1980 and 2000,the poor doubled their
consumption．Nigerians are twice as rich and live nine more years．The percentage of the world's
people living in absolute poverty has dropped by over half．The United Nations estimates that poverty
was reduced more in the past 50 years than in the previous 500．

1．Ridley's attitude towards the human future is .

A．worried
B．proud
C．concerned
D．optimistic

2．According to Paragraph 2,the improvement of people's life is great in their .

A．earning much money,eating more and living happily
B．earning more money,better food and living longer
C．spending more money,richer food and easy life
D．higher pay,various food and active life

3．The writer believes that .

A．urban living is a good thing
B．all people should live in cities
C．living in the countryside causes trouble
D．tall buildings should be built in the country

4．The last paragraph mainly tells us that .

A．the poor people benefit more than the rich
B．poverty in the world nearly disappears
C．the percentage of the rich has dropped by over half
D．the rich get more benefit than the ordinary people

5．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

阅读理解：

Here are six steps to better studying．

　　Pay attention in class

　　Do you have trouble paying attention in class? Are you sitting next to a loud person? Tell your teacher or parents about any problem that is preventing you from paying attention．

　　Take good notes

　　Write down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the board．Try to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later．It's a good idea to keep your notes organized by subject．

　　Plan ahead for tests and projects

　　Waiting until Thursday night to study for Friday's test will make it hard to do your best．One of the best ways to make sure that doesn't happen is to plan ahead．Write down your test dates．You can then plan how much to do after school each day, and how much time to spend on each topic．

　　Break it up

　　When there's a lot to study, it can help to break things into several parts．Let's say you have a spelling test on 20 words．Instead of thinking about all of the words at once, try breaking them down into five-word groups and work on one or two different groups each night．

　　Ask for help

　　You can't study effectively if you don't understand the material．Be sure to ask your teacher for help．If you're at home when the confusion occurs, your mum or dad might be able to help．

　　Sleep tight

　　So the test is tomorrow and you've followed your study plan－but suddenly you can't remember anything! Don't panic(恐慌)．Your brain needs time to digest(消化)all the information you've given it．Try to get a good night's sleep and you'll be surprised by what comes back to you in the morning．

(1)

We know from the passage that a loud person is ________．
[　　]
A．	a student who always answers questions loudly in class
B．	someone who likes to talk with others in a loud voice
C．	a student who likes speaking with others in class
D．	a person who makes a lot of noise in public places

(2)

According to the author, which of the following is an effective studying method?
[　　]
A．	Don't try to review everything you have learned in one go(一下子)．
B．	Try to review what you've learned in one go．
C．	To read all your notes the night before the test．
D．	Try to remember everything on the first try．

(3)

If you don't understand what you have learnt, you can _______．
[　　]
A．	read your notes over and over again
B．	turn to people around you for help
C．	put aside the material for later review
D．	ask your teacher to explain it the next day

(4)

By saying “Sleep tight”, what does the author mean?
[　　]
A．	Sleep again after waking up．
B．	Sleep holding your breath deep．
C．	Get a good night's sleep．
D．	Go to sleep early every night．
