阅读理解。     Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic!
Enthusiastic will take you further than any amount of experience."
     How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into
opportunity and strangers into friends.
     "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote
     Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is
the inner voice that whispers, " I can do it! When others shout, "No, you can"t."
      It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983
Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn"t let up on her experiments. Work was
such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
      Author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm
wrinkles the soul
     Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. If we cannot do
what we love as the fulltime career, we can treat it as a part-time interest, like the head of state who
paints, the nun who runs marathons, and the official who handcrafts furniture.
We can"t afford to waste tears on "might-have-bees" we need to turn the tears into sweat as we go
after "what can be".
     We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with our sense-finding pleasure in the fragrance of
a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old and the enchanging, beauty of a rainbow. It
is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes, a lift in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles
from our souls.1. What can be the best title of this passage?A. Find pleasure in what you are doing
B. Wake up your life
C. To give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul
D. No pains, no gains.2.What conclusion does the writer draw though the experience of finding a job?A. enthusiasm will take your further than any amount experience.
B Years wrinkle the skin, but no give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
C. We can"t afford to waste tears on "might-have-beens"
D. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers in to friends.3. which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage?A. No one can achieve great success without enthusiasm.
B. Enthusiasm will take a person further than any amount of his experience.
C. We should make great efforts to do the thing that can be done instead of regretting for the past.
D Barbara McClintock was generally accepted many years before she won the Nobel Prize.4. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "let up"?A. continue
B. make less effort
C. make great effort
D. stop5. We can learn from the last paragraph that it is ____that makes our life meaningful?A. love of garden.
B. love of drawing pictures with the crayon of a six-year old child
C. love of life
D. love of beautiful rainbow

     I closed my eyes as tight as they could go.
     The lights went off, and I unbolted the door of memory. I remember driving home by myself for
the first time. I looked into the future and imagined that I was walking on the stage to receive my college
diploma. I looked at the bleachers packed with families and friends. I saw my parents smile with pride,
and I looked to their side for Katie and Kevin"s approval. But Katie, my elder sister, was not there. I
cou7ld hold back my tears.
     I suddenly opened my eyes and returned to reality. I remember being called out of Spanish class in
the tenth grade and taken to the hospital to see Katie, who was dying of cancer. Katie"s room was
exactly the way she had left it on a Friday night in September, 1993,when she was got into the ambulance. She died just a few weeks in her freshman year at the University of Miami.
    When Katie was six years old, she declared herself old enough to take care of her little sister and
brother, because she wanted to lighten our mother"s burden. Katie would always do up my hair and
go shopping with me. She would always tutor Kevin and buy him ice cream as a reward for his hard
work. Clearly, Katie was more than our elder sister.
     A diploma is placed in my hand . "I do !" I cry. Katie said she loved me and hugged me tight on a
September afternoon in 1993. just before I step up my college auditorium stage, I look at the spectators
in the bleachers and see mother, father and Kevin. Katie is sitting right beside them , cheering me on.

     As Mrs Thompson stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school,  she told the
children a lie. Like most teachers,  she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same.
But that was impossible,   because there in the front row,   slumped in his seat,   was a little boy named
Teddy Stoddard.Mrs Thompson noticed that he didn"t play well with the other children,   that his clothes
were messy and that he constantly needed a bath.And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point
where Mrs Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen,   making
bold Xs and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers.
     However,   when she reviewed his file,   she got a surprise.
     Teddy"s first grade teacher wrote,   "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work
neatly and has good manners… He is joy to be around."
     His second grade teacher wrote,   "Teddy is an excellent student,   well liked by his classmates,
but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."
     His third grade teacher wrote."His mother"s death has been hard on him.He tries to do his best but
his father doesn"t show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren"t taken."
     Teddy"s fourth grade teacher wrote,   "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn"t show much interest in study.
He doesn"t have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."
     Now,   Mrs Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought her
beautifully wrapped Christmas presents.Teddy"s present,   however,   was clumsily wrapped in rough
brown grocery paper.Taking her time she opened it to reveal Teddy"s gifts,   a shine stone bracelet with
stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle.How the children laugh!"What a pretty bracelet! Mm,
lovely perfume! Perfect on my wrist." The children were silent.
     Alone together,   after school,   Teddy told Mrs Thompson,   "Today you smiled just like my Mom
used to."His teacher cried all right,   and from that day,   she stopped teaching reading,   writing,   and
arithmetic and began to teach children instead.

you cannot__2__it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no__3__because
we do the whole thing indoors, so you can"t say, "It was raining." or "It was snowing." It makes__4__

     John had never been__7__in my high school wrestling competition that I could remember,

his opponent__11__him halfway through his roll. He was pinned__12__!
     The match was over.

"Oh, he just got lucky." And John said, "That"s so stupid. The opportunity presented itself, __14__he

     John"s opponent was prepared to exploit this opportunity. The probability of__17__John was not
much, and he knew it. But he paid attention to the __18__opportunity to present itself, and he defeated
and pinned a fivetime national champion.
     In other words, the real__19__is "Be prepared!" It"s not just finding the opportunity; you have to be
prepared to__20__it.
