Ⅳ.阅读理解

(2014·青岛二次质检，wise advisers urged，“Barbara，be enthusiastic！Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.”

How right they were！Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure，extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.

“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm，”wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough.It is the inner voice that whispers，“I can do it！”when others shout，“No，you can't.”

It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock，a geneticist(遗传学家)who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine，to be generally accepted.Yet she didn't let_up on her experiments.Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.

Author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote，“Years wrinkle the skin，but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”

Enthusiastic people also love what they do，regardless of money or title or power.If we cannot do what we love as a full time career，we can treat it as a interest，like the head of state who paints，the nun(修女)who runs marathons，and the official who handcrafts(手工制作)furniture.

We can't afford to waste tears on“might have beens”．We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after“what can be”．

We need to live each moment wholeheartedly，with all our senses finding pleasure in the fragrance of a backyard garden，the crayoned(蜡笔的)picture of a six year old，the enchanting，beauty of a rainbow.It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes，a lift in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls.

1．What can be the best title of this passage?

A．Find pleasure in what you are doing

B．Wake up your life

C．To give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul

D．No pains，no gains

2．What conclusion does the writer draw through the experience of finding a job?

A．Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.

B．Years wrinkle the skin，but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

C．We can't afford to waste tears on“might have beens”．

D．Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure，extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.

3．Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?

A．No one can achieve great success without enthusiasm.

B．Enthusiasm will take a person further than any amount of his experience.

C．We should make great efforts to do the thing that can be done instead of regretting for the past.

D．Barbara McClintock was generally accepted many years before she won the Nobel Prize.

4．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “let up”？

A．Continue. B．Make less effort.

C．Make great effort. D．Stop.

绕行路)in life than by the narrow road toward goals.I like this image.But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.

For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people do：the fastest，shortest, easiest road，especially when I was alone with four noisy，restless kids who hates confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.
