making excuses for failures. you may be sure that all young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through： meeting new situations, developing new skills, and testing their abilities.if you are unhappy about something, face it. try to state the problem in a few words, so that you will know exactly what you are up against. then see if you can put your finger on the cause of your unhappiness.in many cases, we only “think” there is no solution to a particular problem. but often we can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack. for example, a boy wanted to be a debater. when he tried out for the debating team as a freshman , the coach thought he was hopeless .he was shy ; he had a high-pitched （音调） voice ; and his posture （体态） was poor . although he was given little hope of success, he took advantage of very opportunity to debate. he studied successful speakers and sized up his own weaknesses and assets. then he spent many hours learning all the facts on the topics for debate, and worked a developing good posture and at speaking clearly. by his junior year, he made the school debating team, and in his senior year he was on the winning team in his state. he achieved his goal because he had made a direct attack upon his problem.although direct attack is often the best way to meet problems, we have to be realistic in judging situations. sometimes it is necessary to change either the tactics （策略） or the goal .a boy who wants to be a great football player may be too light and not quite fast enough for football. in this situation, becoming a great football player may be an unreasonable goal for him. however, he may become outstanding in tennis or golf, and satisfy his desire to take part in sports.a girl who had plain features may decide that she cannot win popularity with her face, and so she may try to develop an interesting personality, which eventually will get her much further. in this situation, she must change her method of achieving her goal.so, although direct attack is often the best way to handle problems, it is important to study the situation and make a wise decision about what to do.68the underlined phrase in the second paragraph probably means .apoint outblook intocpress downdgive up69what does the author mean by taking example from the boy who wanted to be a debater?awe can escape from problems by making excuses for failures.bwe can overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.cit is necessary to change our method of achieving our goal.dit is important to

about something, face it, and try to state the problem in a few words.call young people go through the same difficult process that you are going through.dalthough direct attack is often the best way

most serious case of avoidance (回避反应症).the thing is this: when i do set out to clean and re-organize my books, which seldom happens, i place myself into a really bad situation. no sooner do i take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust, and wipe down the cover than i find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the wall. pretty soon books get piled up on my legs as i am reunited with old friends.it is as if these books have voices, and each wants to say its piece. “remember me? i was given to you when you went into the navy, so that you would never lack for companionship,” one whispers. another says, “i was your first book of poems, given to you before you learned to love poetry.” and a third, “i was the book that made history so attractive to you.” perhaps the greatest pleasure of re-organizing my books are the surprises or better said, reunions that occur. during my latest book-cleaning adventure, i found one that had fallen behind the shelf: “tales of edgar allan poe.” not an unusual title, but the words written on the first page made it very special: “with love from mom and dad, christmas 1965.” whats this? a book on the physics of lasers（激光）. it is filled with mathematical statements, and i had bought it at a library sale when i was 12, not long after the laser had been invented. i couldnt understand a bit of it, but i did learn what “laser” meant.what i end up with when i empty my bookshelves is a cross-section (横剖面) of my personal history. its like a road cut where one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning of the simplest life forms. the books ive read and kept are not just old friends. they are my rsum.72what can be inferred about the author? ahe is too busy to tidy up his bookshelves. b he considers his books treasured possessions. che has made a lot of notes in his books. d he is a lover of science books. 73by saying that his books have voices, the author means .athey bring back happy memoriesbthey are recorded in human voicecthey say a lot about human historydthey offer good topics for discussion74what does the author enjoy most from re-organizing his books? afinding some missing books. bputting books in good order. clearning something new from the books. drediscovering interesting stories behind some books. 75by sharing his own experience, the author wants to express that .athe course of cleaning his bookshelves is like going back to his history bhe has suffered from the most serious case of avoidance cthe re-organizing of his books is a surprising adventuredthe books on his bookshelves have voices参考答案mr and mrs gordon were sitting on the sand, reading their magazines. mr gordon was too stingy(吝啬)to rent a chair. their twelve-year-old daughter,sandra, was playing at the waters edge. suddenly a huge wave lifted sandra up and carried her out to sea. fortunately,a lifeguard was on duty and he saw the wave carry sandra away. he ran along the beach and dived into the sea. he swam quickly to where the girl, with her head only just above the water, was shouting for help. she was very frightened. when the lifeguard reached her,she struggled with him, as drowning people often do. however, he was a skilful lifeguard and quickly took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach. by the time he reached it, mr and mrs gordon had realized what had happened. they had run down to the waters edge. neither of them could swim. they just stood in the shallow water, and worried about their daughter. had the lifeguard reached her in time? fortunately, he had. “that was quick work,young man,”mr gordon said. he turned to his wife, “give the lifeguard a dollar.” “a dollar!” sandra cried. “dad,how can you give him a dollar! he saved my life. i was half dead.” “quite right, girl !” mr gordon said, pleased by his daughters awareness of the value of money. he turned to his wife again and said, “shes right. she was only half dead. give him fifty cents.”51. what happened to sandra？a. she ran into the sea. b. her life was saved by a lifeguard.c. she was drowned. d. she died.【答案】b【解析】细节理解题。根据he saved my life.门卫救了她的生命，故选b。52. what
