Our dream is the song of our soul. Life without one is reduced to a hollow existence.

But life with a dream is filled with meaning and purpose.

Most of us have a dream, or heart's desire. But the trouble is most of us have the on/off switch of our dream set to OFF. Whenever we say, I can’t, we set the switch to OFF. Whenever we believe we can, we set the switch to ON. Simple, isn't it? Just because I believe I can do something doesn't mean there won’t be any problems. But once I believe I can do it, I will seek solutions for every problem I stumble on. And since it is a law of life that we find what we look for, if I look for solutions, I will find them.

Any worthy dream is a dream worthy of accomplishing. Once I realize I can do it, the next step is to make a commitment. As soon as we make a commitment, great power is released. What seemingly were insurmountable hurdles are now reduced to obstacles of laughable insignificance. But we won’t reach this stage until we decide to stop talking and start acting. Unless we commit ourselves, self-doubt will ferment and block our way.

Our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great. An aunt of mine sold gloves in a department store for most of her life. Her dream was to be the friendliest and most helpful salesperson around. Year after year, the same customers would return and deliberately seek her out. She brightened everyone's day and touched the lives of thousands. Was her dream any less significant than that of aprominent person? Of course not. We all have the power to follow a dream that will make a difference to us and those we meet.

No dream is too small; no dream is too big, so hold on to your dream. Langston Hughes tells why, Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.So,what are you waiting for? Follow your dream!

(1)According to the author, dreams ___________.

A、refer to dreams in our sleep

B、refer to dreams in the daytime

C、gives meaning and purpose to our life

D、enables life to be a hollow existence

(2)What are the stages in following a dream?

A、Setting the switch of our dream on, making a commitment, and releasing the power.

B、Setting the switch of our dream on, committing ourselves, and following the dream.

C、Believing we can do it, committing ourselves, and acting.

D、Believing we can do it, acting and making a commitment.

(3)What does the dream of the author's aunt illustrate?

A、To illustrate we should commit ourselves and start acting.

B、To illustrate our dreams don’t have to be grand to be great.

C、To illustrate her dream was to be the friendliest and most helpful salesperson.

D、To illustrate we all have the power to follow a dream.

(4)Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A、Whether the switch of your dream is ON or OFF is left entirely to yourself.

B、If we believe we can do it, there won’t be any problems.

C、We will find what we look for.

D、The author's aunt's dream was not any less significant than that of a prominent person.

(5)The passage mainly tells us that __________.

A、a dream gives meaning and purpose to our life.

B、if dreams die, life will become meaningless.

C、we should follow our dream which will make a difference to us and other people.

D、a worthy dream is a dream worthy of accomplishing.

Most people-or at least more Western Europeans-did not accept daydreaming as part of

Most people-or at least more Western Europeans-did not accept daydreaming as part of their lives. In fact, until recently, daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time. Or it was considered an unhealthy escape from real life and its duties. But now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming. And it may be that more people are suffering from a lack of daydreaming than are suffering from too much of it.

It now appears that a person's self-control and self-direction may suffer if he or she does no daydreaming at all. Such a person may become poorly equipped to deal with the pressures of daily life.

Dr. Joan T. Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth. It also improves concentration and the ability to get long with others, she says. Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved self-control and creative ability.

But that's only part of the story. The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives, as we want them to be.

Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming. He maintained that you can imagine your future. Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse. The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor. For these notable achievers, it appears that their daydreams came true.

Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick believed that the way we pictured ourselves is often the way we turn out. He offered this advice: Hold a picture of yourself in your mind’s eye, and you will be drawn towards it. Picture yourself as defeated, and that alone will make victory impossible. Picture yourself vividly as winning, and that will contribute immeasurably to success. Do not picture yourself as anything, and you will drift

(1)According to the passage, people who do not daydream will __________.

A、suffer from a lack of daydreaming

B、not waste time

C、improve concentration

D、escape from the real life

(2)What does the first sentence in the fourth paragraph mean?

A、But that's only part of the research.

B、But there are still some other stories.

C、But the story does not finish yet.

D、But there are still some other positive uses of daydreaming.

(3)The example of Thomas Edison is used to show __________.

A、he is a successful dreamer

B、he is a successful inventor

C、daydreaming can shape our future

D、daydreaming can improve creative ability

(4)According to Harry Emerson, if we do not imagine at all, we may __________.

A、be defeated

B、wander and be aimless

C、achieve success

D、overcome most of the problems

(5)Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?

A、Daydreaming, too much or too little?

B、Come on, Imaging Your Future!

C、New Discoveries on Daydreaming.

D、Citizens Embracing Daydreaming

I always have the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina twirling around and aroun

d and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would twirl around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard. For hours I would dance as if people were watching me. Reality woke me up when I heard a voice saying, I don’ know why you bother trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty, slender little girls. Besides, you don’t have the talent to even be a ballerina. I remember how those words paralyzed every feeling in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours.

We lived in the country by a nearby lake and I would sometimes go there.

My parents were never home anyway and I did not like to be at home.When they were home, my mother just yelled and criticized because nothing was ever perfect in her life. She dreamed of a different life but ended up living in a country far away from the city where she believed her dreams would have come true.

I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I would sit there and stare at my reflection. There I was, looked nothing like a pretty ballerina dancer.

As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born in the first place, was because it was something that was inside of me. The dream I had was never nurtured and cared for, so it slowly died. It's not that

I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, You can’t do it.When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming,I realized that you can’t settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform. I still go to the lake sometimes and sit there. Looking at my reflection is different now too. When I was young, I looked at how others saw me. Now that I am older and wiser, I look at how God sees me.

(1)The article intends to ___________.

A、show that dancing is suitable for the girl

B、show how the girl failed in achieving her dream

C、tell us we should not be disturbed by others

D、tell us we should care and fulfill our dream

(2)The tone of the article is ___________.

A、encouraging

B、sad

C、hopeful

D、disappointing

(3)The voice mentioned indicates the girl is __________.

A、physically unattractive

B、unfortunate

C、poor

D、smart

(4)Why did the mother yell and criticize?

A、Because she was not perfect.

B、Because she didn't reach her dream.

C、Because she lived in the countryside.

D、Because she believed her dream had come true.

(5)Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A、The dream is a reflection of our inner desire.

B、The writer is satisfied with dancing in the wildflowers.

C、The writer never cared for her dream.

D、The writer dreamed to be a ballerina.

第3题

There’s nothing like a beautiful summer dayblue skies, warm breezes, birds singing li

e back and dream about your future. You have the world before you.

Allow yourself to dream, and think big big as the sky. The world’s greatest achievers are some of the best dreamers. Walt Disney, Amelia Earhart, Henry Ford, Susan B. Anthony, Andrew Carnegie, and hundreds more, all had dreams.

Then take the first step to make your dreams come true. Form. a goal and accomplish it. Create a new goal and accomplish it. Every time you set and achieve a goal, you’ll move one step closer toward building the future you want for yourself.

When you achieve a target you’ve set for yourself, it helps build your self-confidence and teaches you self-discipline. Each goal you achieve will boost your confidence and help you set bigger goals for your future. Soon, you’ll find yourself moving on a path to success.

Steps for reaching your dreams:

It can be as easy as starting a savings account at your credit union. Give yourself a goal. First, what do you want to save for? It might be a new CD player, your first car, or college.

Next, where will your savings come from? Will you use a portion of your allowance, or can you think of other ways to earn money?

It’s okay to set small goals at first. In fact, that may be wise so you begin to understand the rewards and personal satisfaction that come from achieving your goals.

You can keep your goals secret or share them with someone close to you who may help you stay on track.

Another important step is to write your goal on paper. Post your written goal (or a photo of it) in your room where you can see it regularly. This will remind you of what you are working toward.

Give yourself a pat on the back when you’ve achieved your goal and start thinking about your next personal challenge.

Before you know it, you’ll be living your dreams.

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you wha

t they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.

Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses in this case our eyes tell us.

At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excit

edly. Get out of the classroom into a job, it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket.

You’re lucky, Ron, he said. For every boy with a job these days, there's a dozen without. So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.

For a year he spent his days filing shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety(多样性) and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.

One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart ad a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a caf é run by an elderly man and his wife.

Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the restof the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quite times Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of the business.

At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of 17 to make a living.

Schools in the U.S. generally do not have a specific teaching plan for teachers to fo

llow, and they certainly don’t have a set of textbooks that are taught by all school districts throughout the country. That’s why textbooks vary greatly from school to school, and from teacher to teacher even though they are all teaching the same subject in the same grade. Some schools provide books to use, but teachers do not strictly follow them. They only use them as a reference, and enjoy pointing out mistakes and wrong information given in the books. They often share their own points of view with their students. Teaching like this has many advantages. Teachers can bring out their expertise, fully elaborating their most familiar areas. Students are more interested in what they are studying. Also this flexible teaching style. benefits students in the development of critical thinking skills and the ability to apply them. On the other hand teaching like this also has many drawbacks. It causes uneven study levels. It is even more so among different schools and districts. Students in the same grade do not usually have a thorough understanding of a subject taught in the same school year. The teacher for the following year would have to spend a lot of time finding out what the students already know or do not know in the subject before starting his/her own teaching plan. Some parts may be repeated, resulting in waste of time; and other parts may not be covered at all.

Exams in American schools are much less rigid than those in China. Teaching is flexible, so are exams. Even if you memorized the whole textbook, it might not be of much help in the exams. My Chinese friend envied me for nothaving to worry about the competition for attending the best schools by takingendless exams.

(1) What are advantages of the flexible teaching style?

A、It benefits students in the development of critical thinking skills.

B、Teachers can bring out their expertise.

C、Students may have freedom in study.

D、Both A and B.

(2) The flexible teaching style. ______.

A、may cause troubles to the teacher for the following year.

B、usually helps students to have a thorough understanding of a subject

C、makes the exam easy.

D、may save teachers’time

(3) The word drawbacks (paragraph 2) means______.

A、mistakes

B、difficulties

C、disadvantages

D、troubles

(4) From the passage we are told American teachers______.

A、have to follow a specific teaching plan.

B、dislike pointing out mistakes and wrong information given in the books.

C、teaching the same subject may use different textbooks.

Another virtue Americans respect is perseverance. Remember Aesop’s fableabout the tur

tle and the rabbit that had a race? The rabbit thought he could win easily, so he took a nap. But the turtle finally won because he did not give up. Another story tells of a little train that had to climb a steep hill. The hill was so steep that the little train had a hard time trying to get over it. But the train just kept pulling, all the while saying, I think I can, I think I can. Atlast, the train was over the top of the hill. I thought I could, I thought I could, chugged the happy little train. Compassion may be the queen of American virtues. The story of ―The Good Samaritan from the Bible describes a man who showed compassion. On his way to a certain city, a Samaritan man found a poor traveler lying on the road.

The traveler had been beaten and robbed. The kind Samaritan, instead of just passing by, stopped to help this person in need. Compassion can even turn into a positive cycle. In fall 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians hit by a hurricane. The next summer, during the Midwest flooding,

Florida returned the favor. In less dramatic ways, millions of Americans are quietly passing along the kindnesses shown to them.

Great moral stories can build character. The success of The Book of Virtues in 1993 shows that many Americans still believe in moral values. Moral values are invaluable.

(1)According to the author, perseverance means _______.

A、I think I can.

B、it doesn’t matter if we are slow.

C、never to give up.

D、to experience a hard time.

(2)According to the author, compassion may be the queen of American virtues because ________.

A、it is the virtue Americans respect most

B、it is as noble as a queen

C、it is from the Bible

D、it is showed by the the Good Samaritan

(3)What’s the author's purpose of telling the story of Florida's hurricane?

A、To show how people help each other in America.

B、To show how Floridians suffered from the hurricane seriously.

C、To give an example of compassion.

D、To show water is in great need for Floridians hit by hurricane.

(4)According to the passage, which of the follo wing is TRUE?

A、Florida helped the Midwest because the Midwest helped it before.

B、Compassion could hardly be a positive cycle.

C、Florida was grateful to what Iowa had done.

第10题

How much will international students have misconceptions about the U.S.? In an effort

to quash some myths, here are the four most common stereotypes regarding college education in the United States.

Myth 1: American students are not as academically driven in comparison to other nations.

There are more than 3,000 universities in the United States. Some are highly selective, some not at all. The less selective colleges may consist of students who have little concern for their academic well-being, but in the more selective colleges you will find very committed students who will spend countless hours at night on their homework. This is a phrase in the United States called an―all nighter which is used when a student stays up all night to perfect an assignment. In truth, it is an issue of pride.

Myth 2: American students party all night and day.

While American students do enjoy the freedom to explore a full lifestyle, they are also expected to keep up with very high standards of social behavior. and academic excellence. International students often join clubs or organizations where they can become involved in exciting programs both on and off campus.

Myth 3: American students are all rich and can afford a college education.

Although a certain percentage of American college students do come from wealthy families and have large expendable incomes, most American college students come from moderate-income families. Most American students enter college knowing they must apply for loans, work part-time, and earn scholarships in order to meet their financial obligations.

Myth 4: Most Americans (and college students) live in large cities which are crime-ridden with drugs and drive-by shootings.

Of all industrialized nations, the United States has one of the lowest crimerates. College campuses are no exception. Safety is of primary importance to all students, parents, and staff at universities.

Universities centered in major cities have endless services to ensure the safety of all students, from campus transportation services to on-campus police officers. Most of universities located outside of the city are very safe, and various precautions are made based on their demographic situation.

(1) According to the passage, the word-myth means ().

A、tale

B、misunderstanding

C、mistake

D、story

(2) In selective colleges, you will find students ().

A、are not as academically driven in comparison to other nations

B、have little concern for their academic well-being

C、spend countless hours on their homework

D、party all night and day

(3) Which of the following is NOT the way most American students pay for their college education?

A、Work part-time

B、Apply for loans

C、Earn scholarships

D、Borrow money from their parents

(4) College campuses in the United States ().

A、are very safe

B、are crime-ridden

C、have high crime rates

D、are too safe to make precautions

(5) According to the passage, what can we learn about American college students?
