AA head track coach, Bill Bowerman, designed a lighter shoe with better support and greater strength and sent the design to leading sporting-goods companies. They all turned him down.The refusal brought Bowerman face to face with his own philosophy of “competitive response”. He had taught his sportsmen value competition not so much for its prizes as for its intellectual and spiritual demands. This was true of his determination to make the shoes himself.He made his first pair of track shoes graceful and light. And his runners won in his handmade shoes. But who would like to manufacture(制造)such shoes himself.He made his first pair of track shoes graceful and light. And his runners won in his hand made shoes. But who would like to manufacture（制造）such shoes?In 1962 Knight, one of Bowerman’s sportsmen, offered to travel to Japan and called on one of Japan’s best manufacturers of sports shoes. The manufacturer promised to produce shoes of his design and Knight’s company would be their only distributor（经销商）in the U.S. Just over a year later, a shipment of 200 Bowerman shoes arrived in Oregon.At first , Knight and Bowerman worked with small team and went selling out of cars at track meets. But slowly, the secret of their product grew in the running world.Then in 1972 the Japanese company cut off all supplies to their company and had established a separate distribution network in the U.S. In 30 days Knight succeeded in lining up a new manufacturer. And today the company takes the largest share in the shoe business. Its name? Nike, after the Greek Goddess of victory.Bowerman, Knight and the Nike team have a firm belief that a shared commitment requires outstanding individual performance and a willingness to contribute that performance to the group.16.

He crawled on his hands and knees while she sat there looking at her birthday dress. The colorful pinata（彩罐）had just been broken and the candy littered the ground. Both of their kids were too young to realize that they were sitting , and crawling around in a collection of wrapped sugar goodies. They were surrounded with edible（可食用的）goodies but had no clue!Suddenly I saw the life metaphor. If we are the “babies” and the candy is “opportunity”, often we don’t recognize it because the opportunity comes wrapped as hard work. We may not give the wrapper the time of day, unle ss we realize that inside there’s a piece of delicious candy.Every tree starts as a seed. Every person who becomes well-know was once someone nobody knew. So what changed for these people? Did the world suddenly wake up and find they have the potential to succeed? Of course not. These people worked for long periods of time before they saw any payoff.It can be disheartening when you’re starting out. There’s a huge learning curve（曲线）for almost everything.Just when you feel like you’re making rapid progress, you realize there’s more to learn. Every new door opens to a brand new room, with another door at the end.When I was in recovery from my eating disorder, there were many opportunities that I didn’t recognize as candy. At first, I didn’t see therapy(治疗）leading anywhere, It was only by going to therapy every week for a year that was finally able to realize the opportunities. I had the opportunities to examine and adjust my thinking, and to challenge the negative mindsets I had about my life.When I to ok back, I find that many of the opportunities that allowed positive growth didn’t always appear easy or fun. They often appeared as something looked hard word. But when we focus, continuously show up, and put in hard work, it will result in candy.19.

She was unwilling to do therapy at firstC. She refused to change her eating habitsD. She liked eating candy very much22. What would be the best title for the text?A. Power of Positive ThinkingB. Candy and AchievementsC. Hard Work Leads to SuccessD. Opportunities Come Candy-WrappedCLiverpool, my hometown, is a unique city. It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage (遗产) Site.I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey. Blanketed in mist , Victorian architecture（建筑）rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming. When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe. It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool's history.As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries than most cities in Britain. At Walker Art Gallery, I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world, and is the home of modern art in the north of England. However, culture is more than galleries. Liverpool offers many music events. As Britain’s No.1 music city, it has the biggest city music festival in Europe, and its musicians are famous all over the world. Liverpool is also well-known for its football and other sports events. Every year, the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors, making the city a place of wonder.As you would expect from such a city, there are restaurants serving food from around the world. When my trip was about to complete, I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub. It is a monument(丰碑) to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.Being a World Heritage Site, my home city is certainly a place of "outstanding universal value". It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.23. Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by _____.A. its charming banksB. its famous museumsC. its wonderful palacesD. its attractive buildings24. The third paragraph is developed mainly by _____.A. providing different examplesB. following the order of spaceC. making comparisonsD. analyzing causes25. The author uses the Philharmonic pub to prove that _____.A. Liverpool is a well-known city for its restaurants。
