18、 in another room when she goes to bed and encourages her friends to do the same.“I sent all my friends the same Christmas gifta lovely alarm clockso they could stop using the excuse that they needed their very attractive iPhones by their beds to wake them up in the morning.” she said.If your phone w

19、akes you up in the morning, it may also be keeping you up at night. A 2008 study showed that people exposed to mobile radiation took longer to fall asleep and spent less time in deep sleep. “The study indicates that during laboratory exposure to 884 MHz wireless signals, components of sleep believed

20、 to be important for recovery from daily wear and tear are severely affected,” the study concluded.A quarter of young people feel like they must be available by phone around the clock, according to a Swedish study that linked heavy cellphone use to sleeping problems, stress and depression. Unreturne

21、d messages carry more guilt when the technology to deal with them lies at our fingertips. Some teens even return text messages at midnight.Most of us choose not to set limits on our nighttime availability. Nearly three quarters of people from the age of 18 to 44 sleep with their phones within reach,

22、 according to a 2012 Time poll.

Whos pulling your strings? For

26、the majority of us, its other people-society, colleagues, friends, family or our community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young,of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we c

27、ould to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone elses opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug-we are

28、addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(成瘾物)we worsen our own existence

29、to get our own constant fix of approval.But, just as with any drug. there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom-the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in

30、the end, theyre more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end

31、up getting exhausted (tired) and probably pleasing no one in the process.So how can we take back control? I think theres only one way-make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values- not values imposed from the outside by others

32、. but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others. we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.1、What Oscar Wilde says implies that .Amost people have a variety of thoughtsBwe have thought

33、s similar to those of othersCother peoples thoughts are more importantDmost peoples thoughts are affected by others2、What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph?AThe price of taking the drug is freedom.BWe may lose ourselves to win the approval of others.CWe need to pay for what we want

34、 to get.DChanging opinions may cost us our freedom.3、It can be concluded from the passage that .Aits better to follow others opinionsBits important to accept others commentsCwe shouldnt change our own decisionDwe shouldnt care too much what others think4、The author tries to persuade the readers to a

35、ccept his arguments mainly by .Adiscussing questionsBmaking suggestionsCanalyzing causes and effectsDproviding examples and facts24（8分） When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, Well, its so-and-sos fault. or I know Im late, but its not my fault; the car broke down. It is probably

36、 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

37、focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners 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 numbe

38、rs, 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 dont rely

39、 on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont 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

40、all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont 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

41、 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 stop on for success.1、According to the passage, winners _Adeal with problems rather than blame othersBmeet with fewer difficulties in their live

42、sChave responsible and able colleaguesDblame themselves rather than others2、The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_.AavoidBacceptCimproveDconsider3、When your colleague brings about a problem, you should _Afind a better way to handle the problemBblame him for his lack of r

43、esponsibilityCtell him to find the cause of the problemDask a more able colleague for help4、When problems occur, winners take them as _Aexcuses for their failuresBbarriers to greater powerCchallenges to their colleaguesDchances for self-development5、Which of the following is the best title for the p
