Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a 1_______in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 2 ，experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not 3 . However, if you remove two, the bird 4 leaves. This means that the bird knows the 5 between two and three.

Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 . He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 .It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.

How good is a human's number sense It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled.

It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow's.

Imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.

Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination.

Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes, Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led.

The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. ”Maybe I could go as Superman,” he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装)，but finally she agreed.

The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation.

The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it, “If you can dream it, you can do it”

It doesn‘t mean that you should dress as a superhero for you next job interview. But next time you are texted in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it .Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.

Some people一些人think that success is only for those with talent有天赋的人or those who grow up in the right family成长在富裕家庭的人, and others另外一些人believe that success mostly大部分comes down to luck源于运气. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances环境don’t come into play不起作用because they do. Some people are born

into the right family while然而others are born with great intelligence天生聪颖, and that’s just the reality of how life is 这是人生的现实.

However, to succeed in life要想成功, one first needs to set a goal设定目标and then gradually make it more practical使它更加切实可行. And, in addition to that除此之外, in order to be really good at something要想真正擅长某样东西,one人needs to spend 必须花费at least至少10,000 hours 一万个小时studying and practicing. To become great at certain things要想成为某样东西的高手, it’ll require even more time这需要更多的时间, time （that most people won’t put in）这世间大多数人都不愿意投入.

This is a big reason （why many successful people advise you to do something you love）这就是成功人士建议你做自己真正喜欢做的事情的原因所在.If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain感觉到难以承受的痛苦and will likely make you quit很有可能让你放弃well before 远在。。。之前you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills展示非凡的才艺or having achieved great success取得巨大的成功, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there把人生的大部分时间投入进去才有这成就at a huge cost付出很大的代价. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent某种罕有的天赋, but thinking that way这种看法does you no good对你没有好处, and t here’s a huge chance t hat 很有可能you’re wrong anyway.

Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out 持之以恒, almost to the point of addiction达到痴迷的地步, and over a long period of time坚持很长时间. If you’re not willing to不愿意put in the time and work投入时间与努力,don’t expect to receive any rewards别指望有回报.Consistent持之以恒的hard work辛勤付出won’t guarantee不能保证you the level of success（you may want）你希望达到的成功的级别, but it will guarantee that可以保证you will become really good at十分擅长whatever it is任何事情you put all that work into你付出辛勤努力的.

One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England，an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. "This boy has lost his family," he wrote. "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help”

I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answe r to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.

The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon---in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.

Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf

and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me

"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.

"It’s your turn," he said.

After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.

Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one---without any words---can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.

36. When he first met the author, David .

A. felt a little excited

B. walked energetically

C. looked a little nervous

D. showed up with his teacher

37. As a psychologist, the author .

A. was ready to listen to David

B. was skeptical about psychology

C. was able to describe David's problem

D. was sure of handling David's problem

38．David enjoyed being with the author because he________.

A．wanted to ask the author for advice B．needed to share sorrow with the author C．liked the children’s drawings in the office D．beat the author many times in the chess game

39．What can be inferred about David

A．He recovered after months of treatment.

B．He liked biking before he lost his family.

C．He went into university soon after starting to talk.

D．He got friends in school before he met the author.

40．What made David change

A．His teacher’s help. B．The author’s friendship.

C．His exchange of letters with the author. D．The author’s silent communication with him.

While Jennifer was at home taking an online exam for her business law class, a monitor （监控器）a few hundred miles away was watching her every move.

Using a web camera equipped in Jennifer’s Los Angeles apa rtment, the monitor in Phoenix tracked how frequently her eyes moved from the computer screen and listened for the secret sounds of a possible helper in the room. Her Internet access was locked—remotely—to prevent Internet searches, and her typing style was analyzed to make sure she was who she said she was: Did she enter her student number at the same speed as she had in the past Or was she slowing down

In the battle against cheating, this is the cutting edge and a key to encourage honesty in the booming field of online education. The technology gives trust to the entire system, to the institution and to online education in general. Only with solid measures against cheating, experts say, can Internet universities show that their exams and diplomas are valid – that students haven’t just searched the Internet to get the right answers.

Private colleges，public universities and corporations are jumping into the online education field . spending millions of dollars to attract potential students，while also taking steps to help guarantee honesty at a distance.

Aside from the web cameras, a number of other high-tech methods are becoming increasingly popular. Among them are programs that check students’ identities using personal information, such as the telephone number they once used.

Other programs can produce unique exam by drawing on a large list of questions and can recognize possible cheaters by analyzing whether difficult test question are answered at the same speed as easy ones ,As in many university classes ,term papers are scanned against some large Internet data banks for cheating.

41. Why was Jennifer watched in an online exam

A. To correct her typing mistakes.

B. To find her secrets in the room.

C. To prevent her from slowing down.

D. To keep her from dishonest behaviors.

42. The underlined expression cutting edge in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

A .advanced technique B. sharpening tool

C. effective rule

D. dividing line

D. they offer many online courses

44. Some programs can find out possible cheaters by _____.

A. checking the question answering speed

B. producing a large number of question

C. scanning the Internet test question

To many people even the word “work” sounds unpleasant, not necessarily because they are lazy. The same man, who dislikes his job in the factory or even in the office, may work hard at the weekend, painting the house or digging the garden.

What is the reason, then In most cases, it is because these people simply do not enjoy the job they are doing .It does not give them any real satisfaction. It may be quite easy, like making up wooden boxes, but it is very boring. Very often they are doing a job which is just a small part of a much larger one, such as attaching a door handle to a car .But the part they play in actually making the car is so small that they can never say: I have made something !

Yet in modern society somebody has to do ordinary jobs such as cleaning streets because this is the way society is organized, No matter how ordinary a job is, it plays a part in society and therefore deserves our due respect. Society cannot function a single day without the “dull and boring” jobs.

参考范文

The passage mainly tells us that some people are tired of their present jobs because they think their jobs are boring, lacking challenges and job satisfaction. But the author thinks that without such boring and dull jobs our society cannot function properly.

As we all know, city cleaners are an indispensible part of our city. Despite low pay, they have to do a large amount of tedious work: clearing the public toilet, sweeping the fallen leaves and dirt on the street,

In my perspective, cleaners play an increasingly important job in our society. They keep our city clean and tidy, without whom our city will be buried by mountains of rubbish. More importantly, they tend to sorting out the garbage in the dustbins and recycling anything recyclable, making great contributions to energy saving and environmental protection.

Therefore, we should show respect for cleaners in our city.
