Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I‟d be twins!” He was a natural motivator.

One day I went up to Michael and asked him, “I don‟t get it. You can‟t be positive all the time. How do you do it?”

Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself „Mike, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or a bad mood.‟ I choose the first. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.” Michael continued, “Life is all about choices. The bottom line is: It‟s your choice how you live life.”

Several years later, Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower. I saw him about six months after the accident. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.

He said, “I first thought of my soon-to-born daughter and then remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live. I knew I needed to take action. So when

a nurse kept shouting questions at me asking if I was allergic to anything, I took a deep breath and yelled, „Gravity‟. Over their laughter, I told them, „I‟m choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead‟.”

Charlie Chaplin was born on April 16, 1889 in London. Both his father and mother were entertainers and although not of big names, they were doing very well. While the family was by no means rich, the music hall provided the Chaplins with a comfortable living. Unfortunately happy life didn‟t last long. Father‟s alcoholism was slowly, but surely destroying his marriage. Finally it ended in divorce. His mother managed to keep Charlie and his brother Syney clean and warm, clothed and fed. She would sit at the window watching the passers-by and guess at their characters from the way they looked and behaved, making up tales to delight Charlie and Syney. Charlie took in her skills and went on using them all his life.

Charlie had always believed, even in the worst times, that he had something special locked

away inside him. He took his courage and went to one of the top theater agents. With no experience at all, he was offered a plum part (意外得到的好角色) in a new production of “Sherlock Holmes”, which opened on July 27, 1903 at the famous “Pavilion Theatre”. Charlie seemed to change

overnight. It was as if he had found the thing he was meant to do. By 1910, Charlie had become “one of the best pantomime (哑剧) artists ever seen ”.

Cinema was born in the same year as Charlie thought people still believed it was a passing fashion, and would never replace live shows. But after using several weeks to watch and to learn, he was determined to master this new medium. It offered him the chance of money and success—and it would set him free from the unpredictability of live audience.

Charlie‟s first film, released in February 1914, was called “Making a living”. After that he made another ten. The public loved him and producers were demanding more and more Chaplin films. In an incredibly short time, Charlie had become a very important man in motion picture. 64. Which of the following is NOT true about Charlie Chaplin? A. Mother had much influence on Charlie Chaplin‟s career. B. “Sherlock Holmes” made Charlie rise to fame overnight.

C. Charlie had been famous when the cinema became a fashion. D. Charlie‟s work in both the theater and the cinema was welcomed. 65. What can you infer from the passage?

A. Charlie Chaplin‟s belief in his potential led to his success. B. Charlie Chaplin got his first role in a film at 14. C. Cinema was a form of art showing live performance.

D. Motion picture was a passing fashion lasting a short time.

66. The underlined word “unpredictability” in Paragraph 3 means____________. C. successful performance D.changing state 67. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Charlie Chaplin made the cinema industry popular. B. Charlie Chaplin‟s early success in his career. C. Charlie Chaplin was a best pantomime artist.

D. Charlie Chaplin‟s determination to do what he liked.

Driving in a foreign country is always different in at least some ways from driving in your own country. Here are some general points regarding driving in New Zealand.

Visitors wishing to drive in New Zealand do not require an international driver‟s license but are

required to carry their local driver‟s license whenever driving.

Vehicles drive on the left-hand side of the road as they do in Britain, Australia, and Japan. Most

rental vehicles will have a sticker reminding you of this important fact.

When the traffic light is red, you must stop. There is no left turn rule as in North America. New Zealand road rules follow international standards but please note that in New Zealand

vehicles turning left must give way to traffic turning right.

In general, if you are turning left (where there are give-way signs or no signs), give way to

vehicles that not turning. In all other situations, give way to vehicles crossing or coming from your right.

Seat belts must be worn at all times while driving in New Zealand. This stands for the driver

and passengers. The driver is responsible for ensuring all passengers are wearing their seatbelts. Do not drink alcohol before driving in New Zealand—drinking and driving laws are strictly

enforced.

Speed limits are in kilometres per hour (kph), not miles per hour (mph).

Speed conversion: 1 kph equals 0.621 mph; 1 mph equals 1.61 kph.

The speed limit on the open road is 100km/h. In towns and cities the speed limit is 50km/h. Be

sure to obey all school crossing speed reductions as speed cameras operate regularly throughout New Zealand.

One Possible Version:

Pressure

In our modern society marked by competition, we are faced with various kinds of pressure, the pressure from work, from family, from study and even from your heart. And a lot of people are afraid of the pressure. They keep complaining about everything and appear very anxious.

However, a certain measure of pressure is not necessarily bad. It can make us devote ourselves to our dream. If there is no pressure, how a high school student can pass the entrance to the university?

Of course too much pressure is harmful to our life. He who cannot handle the pressure might ruin himself someday if it is too much to endure. We‟ve already heard too many examples of this. Thus the question is we must learn how to relieve ourselves of the burden of work and study. Only in this way can we face the life properly
