My first reaction was anger

19、at being delayed for a whole ten seconds. I quickly became patient when I realised that this was an elderly couple. The man leaned on his wife who walked in front of him. He not only used her for support but it was obvious that he was blind. The two of them worked as one-each needing the other to fu

20、nction in this fast-changing world. That little example of true strength changed my whole personal perception(理解 ) of life that day. Suddenly I wasnt so mad about having to work a few extra hours on Saturdays. I had my strength, and I was still relatively young. That picture of those two elderly peo

21、ple walking with dignity and strength stayed with me the entire week. My life wasnt so bad after all. I had my health and a good job. I had a wonderful, supportive wife.

22、gs of a long life, still had the love and support of each other to carry them through this world. There are so many people out there just like that couple.

26、小题 3】 C【小题 4】 B Why is setting goals important Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen. Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots

27、of goals to help them reach their vision. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. Its like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without

28、any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. Winners decide what they want i

29、n life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals arent difficult to set, and they arent difficult to reach. Its up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. You are the one who must decide what to pursue

30、 and in what direction to aim your life. Research tells us when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular fa

31、shion, you are able to stimulate yourself to be continuously alert to situations that will further your goals. 【小题 1】 The example of the two drivers is given to show_.

32、e foolishness of the first driver 【小题 2】 If people want to reach their goals, they should _.

33、 accompanies the people who gives up easily. B Whenever you set goals, you will succeed. C Winners never stop their efforts for success.

41、erty exists because our society is an unequal one, and there are plenty of political pressures to keep it that way. Any attempt to redistribute wealth and income in the United States will be opposed by powerful middle and upper class interests. People can be relatively rich only if others are relati

42、vely poor, and since power is concentrated in the hands of the rich, public policies will continue to reflect their interests rather than those of the poor. As Herbert Gans has pointed out, poverty is actually functional form from the point of view of the non-poor. Poverty ensures that dirty work ge

43、ts done. If there were no poor people to clean floors and empty dustbins, these jobs would have to be rewarded with high incomes before anyone would touch them. Poverty creates jobs for many of the non-poor, such as police officers, welfare workers, and government officials. Poverty makes life easie

44、r for the rich by providing them with cooks, gardeners and other workers to perform basic work while their employers enjoy more pleasurable activities. Poverty provides a market for low-level goods and services, such as day-old bread, rundown automobiles. Poverty legitimizes (make legal) middle-clas

45、s values. To the middle class, the fate of the poor-who are supposed to lack honesty, and a taste of hard work-only confirms the desirability of qualities the poor are thought to lack. Poverty also provides a group that can be made to absorb the costs of change. For example, the poor bear the pressu

46、re of unemployment and its their homes, not those of the wealthy, that are destroyed when a route has to be found for a new highway. It cannot be said that the wealthy keep the poor in poverty. It is just that poverty is an outcome of the American economic system, which the poor are politically powe
