AHow to Be a WinnerSir Steven RedgraveWinner of 5 Olympic Gold Medals“In 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病) . Believing my career was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it—the encouragement I needed.I could still be a winner if I believe in myself. I am not saying that it isn’t difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myselfthat I wasn’t finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.”Karen PickeringSwimming World Champion“I swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success—you can’t follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself,write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and you’ll be a step closer to achieving them.”Kirsten BestPoet & Writer“When th ings are ge tting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I can’t achieve something. Then, there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as ‘calm’,‘peace’ or ‘focus’, eith er out loud or silently in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increases my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological tool.”21. What does Sir Steven Redgrave mainly talk about?A. Difficulties influenced his career.B.

I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling(叛逆). I wish it wer e so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at o ne another’s hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or actin g in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyoneelse is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come — with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.29. In this passage, the author wants to tell _______.A. teenagers to try to decide things for themselvesB. readers to try to be popular with people aroundC. parents to try to control and guide their childrenD. people to try to understand and respect each other30. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. There is no popularity that really counts.B. What many parents are doing is helping their children from finding their own paths.C. It is bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.D. Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actuallydoing the same.31. What does the author think of advertisements?A. Convincing.B. Influential.C. InstructiveD. Authoritative.DBEIJING - The Ministry of Environmental Protection on Wednesday reported malpractice（不法行为）in Hebei, the province that produces most of China's steel, after sending inspection teams to smog-hit areas.It was found that some thermal（热气流）power plants,cement（水泥）and steel makers failed to stop or curtail production during severely smoggy days, said the ministry in a statement.Small coal burning boilers in main urban areas were not shut down as required. Other malpractice included ineffective controls against dust pollution in construction sites.According to the ministry, 12 inspection teams were sent to Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei Province and their surrounding areas on Sunday, to review the local governments' response to air pollution.Violations revealed by the inspection teams will be harshly punished, said the ministry.Almost all provinces in central and east China have been under a cloud since Friday, while Beijing and the provinces of Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan andLiaoning have reported "severe smog."A new report launched by Beijing authorities on the morning of February 24 indicates that the concentration of PM 2.5 has risen, with no sign of it decreasing, the orange warning will still be in effect, according to Xinhua News Agency.According to data released by the Beijing Tourism Website, by 2:00 pm, February 24, popular scenic areas including the Great Wall and Palace Museum had been affected by the smog in terms of tourist numbers.As for the Palace Museum, the number of visitors was only 11,200 that day, far from the figure of 40,000, which is the daily average number of visitors it normally receives.There were a few visitors in Beihai Park on the morning of February 24, and two visitors from Hebei province plan to end their morning tour earlier than scheduled because of the smogwith one of them saying “The visibility is poor, we can’t take good photos, we’d better leave early.”In response to worsening air conditions, travel agencies have also started to avoid a further decline in tourist numbers. An employee with China Youth Travel Service, Wang Tao, said the agency will inform tourists of the weather conditions at their destinations. A tour guide with China Travel Service also told the media that it is a tour guide’s duty to inform foreign visitors of the smog conditions in Beijing, and the agency will provide free face masks to those in need.32.
