How to avoid common life mistakes?

1. Don’t do things you don’t like

Whenever you do things you don’t like, you will start to hate yourself a bit more. You willhate yourself for not being consistent. For doing things you know that you don’t want to do,another stress is right there.

2. Do less

This is one of the hardest things, especially for me. I’m doing too many things at the sametime. In itself, doing many different things to figure out what works and what doesn’t isn’t thathad. It’s actually quite good. But at some point you need to let go of the things that don’t workand focus on the things that work. And that’s the hardest part, at least for me. I always try tomake everything work. And if you always try to make everything work, you’ll usually end upwith nothing working at all.

3. Get rid of complicated things

There are many complicated things in life. Complicated relationships, complicated jobs,complicated whatever. What all of these things do is that they steal our focus.

They add an additional stress layer to our lives and take over some of our brain’s bandwidth（带宽；频宽）. We desperately need to navigate（驾驶）bandwidth in this crazy and complex world.

4. Read books, not blogs

Blogs consist of too much information for our brains to process. Blogs usually leave out thestory our brains need. Our brains need a story to remember things.

Don’t believe me? Try it. What parts of this blog post do you remember? Probably none. All that blogs do is that they clutter（拥塞）our brains with useless information we forget immediately after we read them. A waste of time.

There are a number of personal traits which all of us should develop in our earlier life.

21. Young people will hate themselves when ________.

A. they avoid doing things they dislike    B. their stress level is high

C. they know what they dislike doing    D. their actions conflict with their ideas

22. What is the writer’s viewpoint on complicated things?

A. They cause little stress to young people’s lives.

B. Young people can’t focus on their business without them.

C. They have a great influence on young people’s lives.

D. Young people needn’t do what they want to do.

23. The writer thinks reading blogs ________.

A. is not a waste of time

B. prevents us from getting stories we need

C. is a great way to access useful information

D. does not fill our brain in a messy way



In August 2015, President Obama announced that North America’s highest mountain, Mount McKinley, would be renamed. Its new moniker（名字）, Denali, was actually its original Aleut name, meaning “the high one”. The previous name, on the other hand, only dates back to 1896—the year when it was named in honour of William McKinley（1843—1901）, who was shortly to become President of the United States. Denali is of course not the only mountain withan interesting linguistic history, so let’s travel to Asia, and across Europe, to explore thenaming of those continents’ most famous peaks and mountain ranges.

The Nepalese name Himalaya comes from a Sanskrit word meaning “Abode of Snow”, fromhima for “snow” and ālaya for “abode”. In Buddhist sources, Himalaya is known by various namessuch as Himavā and Himavanta.

In 1856, Mount Everest was named after Sir George Everest （1790—1866）, who was the superintendent （负责人）of the Trigonometrical Survey of India. Everest himself was initially displeased by the naming, since he feared that local inhabitants might not be able topronounce it.

K2 stands for Karakoram 2, because it was the second peak to be surveyed in theTrigonometrical Survey in the Karakoram system. It was also formerly known as Mount GodwinAusten after Col. H. H. Godwin Austen, who first surveyed it. Another alternative name for themountain is Chhogori.

Annapurna is a household Goddess for Hindus, who guarantees to her worshippers （崇拜者）that food will not fail. The name derives（源出）from a Sanskrit word meaning “one who gives nourishment”.

The Matterhorn’s name derives from the name of the nearby town of Zermatt, the secondelement of which is apparently Matte “meadow”, and Horn, “horn”. Horn is not an unusual element in German names of mountains with jutting（突出的）peaks. The mountain is called Mont Cervin in French and Monte Cervino in Italian, from the Italian adjective cervino “deer-like”, which conjures up （使想起）a deer’s antlers.

Ben Nevis is the Anglicized form of the Scottish Gaelic name Beinn Nibheis, which means“Mountain by the（River）Nevis”. The name of the river apparently derives from a Celtic root for “water”.

24. How many continents’ mountains are mentioned in the passage?

A. 2    B. 3       C. 4    D. 5

25. Himalaya is a mountain also named ________.

A. Nepalese    B. Abode of Snow    C. Alaya    D. Himavā

26. Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?

A. Everest was unhappy about the name of Mount Everest at first.

B. K2 was once called Col. H. H. Godwin.

C. Annapurna means “one who offers food”.

D. Matterhorn comes from the name of the nearby town of Zermatt.

27. The above mountains’ names come from sources other than _________.

A. color    B. a Sanskrit word    C. a person’s name   D. geographic name



My neighbor Mrs. Gargan first told me about it. “Have you seen the tree?” She asked as I was sitting in the backyard enjoying the autumn twilight （暮色）. “The one down at the corner,” she explained. “It’s a beautiful tree—all kinds of colors. All the passers-by stop to have a look.You ought to see it.” I told her I would, but I soon forgot about the tree. Three days later, Iwas jogging down the street when a splash of bright orange caught my eyes. For an instant, Ithought someone’s house had caught fire. Then I remembered the tree.

I approached the tree to look at it closely. There was nothing remarkable about the shapeof the tree. It was a medium-sized maple. But Mrs. Gargan had been right about its colors. Like the mess of an artist’s palette（调色板）, the tree blazed a bright crimson（深红色）on its lower branches and burned with vivid yellows and oranges in its center, and deep red at its top.Through these colors were light green leaves as yet untouched by autumn.

Walking closer I noticed several bare branches near the top, their small black branchesscratching the air like claws. The fallen leaves lay like a red carpet around the trunk.

As I was amazed at this beauty, I thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s comments about the stars. “If the constellations（星座）appeared only once in a thousand years, imagine what an exciting event it would be. But because they’re up there every night, we barely give them alook,” he made a remark in Nature.

I felt the same way about the tree. Because its beauty will last only a week, it should beespecially precious to us. And I had almost missed it.

Once in the 19th century when a man noticed a brilliant display of northern lights（北极光）in the sky over Massachusetts, he rang a church bell to alert the whole town’s people.That’s what I felt like doing about the tree. I wanted to awake the countryside to its wonder.

I didn’t have a church bell, but as I walked home, I did ask each neighbor I passed thesame simple but important question Mrs. Gargan had asked me: “Have you seen the tree?”.

28. What did the author’s neighbor remind him?

A. To appreciate the beauty of the sunset.  B. To find what happened at the street corner.

C. To draw a picture of a tree.       D. To enjoy the beautiful tree in all colors.

29. From the passage we know _________.

A. the author felt it precious to see the beauty of the tree

B. the author thought of the stars as beautiful as the tree

C. the remarkable scene of the tree only appeared in a thousand years

D. People never had a close look at the tree

30. How did the author call on people to enjoy the wonder?

A. He rang the church bell.       B. He passed on the same question.

C. He awakened all neighbors up.       D. He required people to the corner.

31. The best title of the passage can be ________.

A. Have You Seen the Tree?       B. The Most Beautiful Tree

C. One of the Wonders in Nature       D. The Precious Moment in Life



Veteran（经验丰富的）rock climbers are calling her one of the most promising climbers in the world. She flies up, grasping the rock and heading gracefully for practically non-existent（不存在的）holds. She’s only 14. Ashima Shiraishi, the New York-born teen, has shaken up the climbing world. At 1.55 meters and 45 kilograms, Ashima might not look like the groundbreakingathlete. But she could be, though still young, the first female climber whose accomplishmentsgo beyond gender.

The evidence: At just 14, Ashima has already made history in the sport. She won the American National Youth Bouldering Championship（美国青少年攀岩锦标赛）every year from 2010 to 2014. And last March, the young climber completed the “Open Your Mind Direct”course in Spain. It’s a very big deal because the course, with a hold broken off near the top, iswidely considered one of the hardest in the world. Only one woman and a small number of menhave ever conquered it. She first learned to climb on rocks in Central Park when she was onlysix. Her father, who works as a dancer, is her coach. At age nine, Ashima went on a bouldering（攀岩）trip to Texas. Falling brought tears to her eyes, but she didn’t give up. Now, she finds she “couldn’t live without climbing.”

For the past six years, Ashima has been a climbing legend. Her love for the sport has taken her around the world. There have been articles and photo spreads（横贯两版的照片）in newspapers and sports magazines, films, countless online video clips, and an appearance onTime Magazine’s list of America’s most influential teenagers.

“I think people are shocked if I do something they can’t do or because I’m still veryyoung and I’m a girl,” Ashima says. “In most sports, men lead the way. But with climbing, whoknows, maybe women will be leading. Doing something that a guy can’t do is pretty special.”

32. As for Ashima Shiraishi, we know ________.

A. she is a great young rock climber

B. she can always find climbing holds that don’t exist

C. she doesn’t look like an athlete at all

D. she is the first female climber in the world

33. Which of the following is true about the course “Open your Mind Direct”?

A. Climbers can take the course only in Spain and America.

B. It is not difficult to finish the course.

C. Climbers have to finish it without any holds at near the top.

D. Not many climbers have done well in it.

34. From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.

A. she wants to try other events in sports

B. she wonders why people are shocked

C. she expects to do better in rock climbing

D. she decides to try anything men can do

35. The passage mainly focuses on ________.

A. A Rock Star in the Climbing World    B. The First Female Rock Climber

C. A Most Influential Teenager in America

D. The Champion of American National Youth

Everybody knows about lots of relatively easy things on weight loss.   36   However, ifyou have ever tried some before without success, then the following guides could be moreuseful for your life.

There’s no magical diet.

We often think that if we can just discover the “right” kinds of foods, we’ll magically loseweight or maintain what we’ve lost. In fact there doesn’t seem to be any “right” diet, and theredoesn’t seem to be any evidence that one particular diet will work better with an individual’sbody.   __37  

Dieting gets the better of exercising.

It is said that exercise is the key to weight loss—taking the stairs instead of the elevatorwill make a difference, for instance.   38   Decreasing food intake is much more effective thanincreasing physical activity to achieve weight loss. Of course, both together would be even better.

Work harder than other people.

Exercise may not help go back to what it was before you gained weight. So if you’ve beenoverweight and you lose weight, maintaining that loss means you’re probably going to have towork harder than other people. Building muscles can help your body burn a few more calories.   __39   It seems unfair, but that’s the way it is.

  40  

For energy balance, it’s the number of calories that counts. It’s certainly true at least intheory and sometimes in practice. You can gain weight eating too much healthy food as well asunhealthy food. So the point is not to question what a calorie is, but rather to understand thatwe need to exchange the calorie-packed foods for foods that are less calorie-dense and morenutritionally dense.

A. All calories are created equal.

B. Some of them are also extremely effective when actually carried out.

C. A calorie is a calorie!

D. We know pretty much that any diet will work if you follow it.

E. However, it’s much more efficient to cut calories.

F. Some of the calories we burn come from our basic exercise.

G. However, it’s also likely that you’ll have to do more in the long run.

My dad always collected coins. He was delighted when the new U.S. state coins were   __41  .He would walk to his long-time bankers and make sure they put at least a   42   of new coinsaside for him. He gave them to every family member. It gradually became a special family   __43  to get coins from Dad.

When my dad   44  ,  I felt such a sense of emptiness. My father and I had been so close. Iwas lost without his   45  and support. I wondered if I would ever feel my dad around me again,   __46  me. It was right after Hurricane Katrina and I was doing a motivational meeting for aboutthree hundred volunteers. At the end of the event, I felt so grateful as I looked at these   47__  individuals. To my   48 , when I glanced at the floor, I saw nothing   49   a coin, from NorthCarolina, the state in which my dad was born and   50  .

Then two months later, I went back to visit my mom. While I was there, I went to the bankto __51  a check. The bank manager, who had known me, called me into her office, showing methe coins for all the states my dad had   52  .

Ever since that time, I have always found coins at the most   53   times, when I neededsupport the most. Amazingly, nowadays when I need emotional support during a   54   time, a coin will always show up in a（n）  55   place.

It has now become a tradition in my family. Every time a coin appears in our house, oneof my kids says, “Oh, it’s   56  ! ”We all feel a sense of   57   every time a single coin turnsup in an unexpected place. We have all   58   it as a   59   of love, guidance and support fromDad — and every new coin we find makes us   60  .
