He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the m

8、ost of his mental faculties (机能 ), or he may accept another persons mistaken estimate (评价 ) of his ability. Older people may be handicapped (阻碍 ) by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age. A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a r

9、eal effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He wont go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence. Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience which illustrates this. When he was a

10、 small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, “Isnt it too bad that Alfred cant do arithmetic ” H

11、e accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected. One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he cou

12、ldnt do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His newfound confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became extraordinary good at arithmetic. This experience made him realize that

13、many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply ones ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability. 41. Why might a person be prevented from doing good work _

14、. A. Because he thinks he is old enough to make the most of his mental facilities B. Because he accepts another persons mistaken estimate of his ability C.

15、ves in his low ability will_.

18、 hand in hand. Everyone complains about being stuck in traffic; but, like the weather, no one seems to do anything about it. In particular, traffic engineers, transportation planners, and public officials responsible for transportation systems in large cities are frequently criticized for failing to

19、 solve traffic jam. But is traffic jam a sign of failure Long queues at restaurants or theater box offices are seen as signs of success. Should transportation systems be viewed any differently I think we should recognize that traffic jam is an unpreventable by-product of successful cities, and view

20、the “traffic problem” in a different light. Cities exist because they promote social interactions and economic transactions. Traffic jam occurs where there are lots of people but limited spaces. Culturally and economically successful cities have the worst traffic problems, while decaying cities dont

21、 have much traffic. New York and Los Angeles are Americas most crowded cities. But if you want access to major brokerage houses (经纪行 ), you will find them easier to reach in crowded New York than in any other large cities. And if your firm needs access to post-production film editors or satellite-gu

22、idance engineers, you will reach them more quickly through the crowded freeways of LA than through less crowded roads elsewhere. Despite traffic jam, a larger number and wider variety of social interactions and economic transactions can be made perfect in large, crowded cities than elsewhere. Seen i

23、n this light, traffic jam is an unfortunate consequence of prosperity, not a cause of economic decline and urban decay. So while we can consider traffic jam as increasing costs on the areas of big cities, the costs of inaccessibility (交通不便 ) in uncrowded places are almost certainly greater. There is

24、 no doubt that traffic jam brings the terrible economic and environmental damage in places like Bangkok, Jakarta, and Lagos. But mobility is far higher and traffic jam levels are far lower here in the US, even in our most crowded cities. Thats why, for now, we dont see people and capital streaming o

25、ut of San Francisco and Chicago, heading for cities like California, and Illinois. 46. We can conclude from the first paragraph that_. A. traffic jam and weather are the two factors preventing the development of the big city B. traffic jam seems to be very difficult to deal with C. if traffic engine

26、ers try their best, traffic jam can be solved D. public officials are always criticized for misusing their power 47. According to the passage, whats the authors opinion towards traffic jam？ _ A. In cities, traffic jam is unavoidable. B. Traffic jam is both a sign of failure and a sign of success. C.

27、 Traffic jam is the consequence of successful cities. D. For a successful city, traffic jam is not unpreventable. 48. By saying “decaying” (in Para. 4), the writer probably means_. A. declining B. developing C. rich and successful D. strong and healthy 49. According to this article, which statement

28、about “New York” and “Los Angeles” is true _ A. The traffic jam in the two cities has been worsened. B. New York and Los Angeles are the most successful cities in the USA. C. It is easier to reach major brokerage houses in the two cities than in other cities. D. Despite the traffic jam in LA, youll

29、find a satellite-guidance engineer more quickly there. 50. What can we learn from the last paragraph _ A. Traffic jam has caused terrible bad effects in cities such as Bangkok and Lagos. B. The traffic jam in San Francisco has resulted in the capital becoming empty. C. The traffic jam level in Jakar

30、ta is lower than that in the US. D. California is as crowded and successful as San Francisco. 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 D 【小题 5】 A Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)-also called “second-hand smoke” and “passive smoking” contains over 4 000 chemicals, including over 50 known ca

31、rcinogens (致癌物 ) and many poisonous things. No safe level of ETS exposure has been proved. Nor is there any expectation that further research will identify such a level. Several recent reviews have confirmed the serious risks to health and life associated with passive smoking. Long time exposure to

32、second-hand smoke has been proved as a cause of many of the same diseases caused by active smoking, including lung cancer, cardiovascular (心脏血管的 ) disease, and childhood disease. Living with a smoker has been shown to increase the risk of coronary heart disease (冠心病 ) among non-smokers by 25-30% (a

33、recent study indicates that this figure may actually be higher). There is also growing evidence that passive smoking is causally linked to stroke in non-smokers, although further research is needed to estimate the risk. Second-hand smoke is especially dangerous for young children and infants, being

34、associated with sudden infant death, pneumonia, bronchitis (支气管炎 ), asthma (哮喘 ) and respiratory symptoms as well as middle ear disease. ETS exposure in pregnant women can cause lower birth weight, foetal (胎儿的 ) death and preterm delivery. Most of the adverse health outcomes brought about by ETS sho

35、w that the risk increases steadily with increasing exposure. The level of individual risk is lower compared to active smoking. Nevertheless, the fact that large numbers of people are exposed results in a substantial burden of disease. Action on smoke-free environments would not only protect people f

36、rom the harm of ETS exposure but also contribute to the reduction of tobacco consumption in the whole population. The health effects of reduced passive and active smoking would include reduced illness and death from major disease types-in particular lung cancer, coronary heart disease, and stroke-an

37、d increased life expectancy. 51. Which of the following statements is true _ A. Although ETS contains many harmful things, it is not unsafe. B. The fact that second-hand smoke is safe has been recently found. C. It is expected that further research will be done to test the level of ETS. D. By far th

38、e safe level of ETS has not been found and will not in the future. 52. Cardiovascular disease can be caused by _. A. long time passive smoking B. accidental active smoking B. occasional passive smoking D. short term active smoking 53. According to the article, the statements about the risk of corona

39、ry heart disease are wrong EXCEPT that_ A. if you smoke, the risk of this disease will increase by 25-30%. B. the non-smokers exposed to smoke will increase the risk of this disease by 25-30%. C. for the smokers, the risk of getting this disease is higher than that of the non-smokers. D. the non-smo

Giving out 55. Whats the authors main purpose in writing this passage _ A. To introduce what is ETS. B.
