32、alance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then its likely you will burn out, or feel upset .When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.Th

33、e way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choos

34、e three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role

35、model. Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling y

36、our own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and ac

37、t like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, meditate, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to bethis is the key to personal power.When

38、 you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.54. The main purpose of this passage is to .A. persuade the readers to make a commitm

39、entB. explain to the readers what personal values areC. inform the readers how to be truly happyD. instruct the readers how to make wise choices55. According to the text, living by your being values, you would .A. gain a lot of powerB. form positive personalityC. seek all human virtuesD. fill your o

40、wn needs56. The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 means .A. a feeling of emptinessB. an absence of ones mindC. a break of continuityD. a state of confusion57. What can be inferred from the text?A. Having values are better than being values.B. A calm person does not choose to complain.C. The way

41、other people think of you decides who you are.D. A responsible person does not care about financial security. CThe words “timetable” and “schedule” make most final year students want to eat their own vomit. Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that final year students must develop a timetable. If you

42、 dont have a schedule or plan for studying, you will have no way of allocating your valuable time when the unexpected arises. A well-thought-out timetable can be a lifesaver. It is up to you to learn how to develop a schedule that meets your needs. Change it if necessary, but most important, follow

43、it . All timetables should be made with the idea that they can be changed. A good one will keep you from wandering off course.A good timetable should make every hour countevery class ,social event and other activity you engage in .You must focus on the other “free time” available and how you will us

44、e it .Make a weekly schedule and divided each day into one-hour increments. Indicate times for classes, socializing, and work time. Also block off a period for sleeping every day. In the precious hours left over, plan time for study. This gives you a rough road map of the time available. Of course,

45、you can change your schedule as circumstances need.The timetable you develop should guide you in how to distribute the available time in the most productive manner. Sticking to your schedule can be tough, but dont dribble away valuable time. Avoiding study is the easiest thing in the world. It is up

46、 to you to follow the schedule youve prepared. A good deal of your success in high school and with any future study depends on this simple truth.Remember, there is a learning curve. You learn the most in the first 30 minutes of study; after that, it progressively deteriorates. After four or five hou

47、rs of studying the same material in the same way, you are learning virtually nothing. The solution is to keep switching subjects and study styles.58. What is the best title of the passage?A.

50、D. have a break every thirty minutesDGrown-ups know that people and objects are solid. At the movies, we know that if we reach out to touch Tom Cruise, all we will feel is air. But does a baby have this understanding? To see whether babies know objects are solid, T. Bower designed a method for proje

51、cting an optical illusion of a hanging ball. His plan was to first give babies a real ball, one they could reach out and touch, and then to show them the illusion. If they knew that objects are solid and they reached out for the illusion and found empty air, they could be expected to show surprise i

52、n their faces and movements. All the 16 to 24-week-old babies tested were surprised when they reached for the illusion and found that the ball was not there. Grown-ups also have a sense of object permanence. We know that if we put a box in a room and lock the door, the box will still be there when w

53、e come back. But does a baby realize that a ball that rolls under a chair does not disappear and go to never-never land? Experiments done by Bower suggest that babies develop a sense of object permanence when they are about 18 weeks old. In his experiments, Bower used a toy train that went behind a

54、screen. When 16-week-old and 22-week-old babies watched the toy train disappear behind the left side of the screen, they looked to the right, expecting it to reappear. If the experimenter took the train off the table and lifted the screen, all the babies seemed surprised not to see the train. This s

55、eems to show that all the babies had a sense of object permanence. But the second part of the experiment showed that this was not really the case. The researcher substituted a ball for the train when it went behind the screen. The 22-week-old babies seemed surprised and looked back to the left side

56、for the train. But the 16-week-old babies did not seem to notice the switch. Thus, the 16-week-old babies seemed to have a sense of “something permanence, while the 22-week-old babies had a sense of object permanence related to a particular object. 62. The passage is mainly about _. A. babies sense

57、of sight           B. effects of experiments on babies C. babies understanding of objects D. different tests on babies feelings 63. In Paragraph 3, “object permanence” means that when out of sight, an object _. A. still exists    

58、                   B. keeps its shapeC. still stays solid                  D. is beyond reach 64. What did Bower use in his expe
