When Buffett was asked about the secret to his success, he said that he read every day—500 pages, to be exact. Unfortunately, if you’re already working 9-5, you might not have the time to read at all, let alone an entire book a day. But if you want to make some changes in your life, the following 4 most-read books on self-improvement may help you start.
How to Stop Worrying and Start Living written by Dale Carnegie

Six Chinese survived the legendary tragedy of the RMS Titanic (泰坦尼克号), but disappeared soon after. Now a British director, Arthur Jones, will uncover their stories and histories of discrimination(歧视).
There were eight Chinese between the ages of 24 and 37 on the Titanic, boiler workers sharing one 59-pound third-class ticket, according to the record of Titanic Cruise Line, but only six survived from its sinking. When they arrived in the United States, they were not helped, like the other 705 survivors. Instead they were forced to leave the country within 24 hours, because of the Chinese Exclusion Act(排华法案) signed in 1882.
Some westerners questioned the six Chinese survivors as stowaways(偷渡者) and claimed that they survived because they secretly climbed on the lifeboat or dressed as women to board lifeboats. But Jones believes they did not do anything shameful in order to survive the disaster after visiting foreign files, museums and cooperating with American and Chinese historians. This is not only a story about the survivors of Titanic, but also a story of a group of brave Chinese people exploring the outside world at that time, he said.
To restore(还原) their ignored stories, Jones and his team found the son of Fang Lang, one of the Chinese survivors , in Wisconsin, US. In May, Jones will visit Taishan city in south China’s Guangzhou province, recorded as the survivors’ hometown. The filmmakers also established a website, whoarethesix.com, for more clues.
Ordinarily, people think of Titanic as a story of rich white people, but don’t know there were people from all over the world, including Chinese. Their stories are never told, Jones said.
24. Why did some westerners question the six Chinese as stowaways and claimed they dressed as women to board lifeboats?
A. Because they thought highly of their contribution to the Titanic.
B. Because they just looked down upon Chinese at that time.
C. Because they were not satisfied with the service the six provided.
D. Because they thought the six were not gentlemen.
25. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. Jones holds an opinion that the six did something against the law.
B. The six Chinese’s stories have never been told before.
C. There were 8 Chinese between the ages of 24 and 37 on the Titanic.
D. The six Chinese were forced to leave within one day after they landed in US.
26. What does the underlined word “established” in the fourth paragraph mean?
A. look for B. set up C. work out D. pick up
27. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
A. To share some specific details of the tragedy of the RMS Titanic.
B. To honor the brave heroes who passed away in the terrible accident.
C. To tell us a British director will uncover the stories of 6 Chinese Titanic survivors.
D. To tell some history stories in which westerns looked down upon Chinese.

Campus diversity(校园多样性) is drying up in US universities. The number of international students studying at higher learning institutions in the US had been increasing. However, at the beginning of the 2016 school year, it dropped by 10,000, according to a recent report from the Migration Policy Institute (MPI). Today, the US is home to 1.1 million foreign students enrolled at universities, colleges, and junior colleges.
Statistics show that foreign student enrollment (入学) in US dropped due to the costs of US higher education, the changing social and political climate, competition from institutions in other countries, and students’ concerns about finding a job in the US after graduation. However, Australia and Canada have experienced growth in their international enrollment with the most of overseas students coming from China. Both countries offer quality education at cheaper rates. [来源:学科网]
The biggest issue with going to school in the US is the price tag as it is the most expensive in the world for college. In 2016, the Los Angeles Times reported that the University of Southern California (USC) was the most expensive university in the US with a one-year price tag of $70,000 for tuition, books, and living expenses. Students, both foreign and home, pay the same at USC. However, at the University of Washington in Seattle (UWS), a school with about 8,000 international students, annual tuition and fees alone cost state students around $11,000, while out-of-state and overseas students pay $35,000. That’s why many foreign students and lower-class citizens choose to study at cheaper universities, which leads to many higher learning institutions’ losing their diversities.
Campus diversity is a sign of a healthy academic environment. Universities should focus on reducing the gap between lower income US citizens and international students. The only way to achieve this would be to make college affordable. The sooner schools do this, the more successful they will be.
28. What leads to international student enrollment’s dropping in the US?
A. Their concerns about finding a job in the US.
B. The costs of US higher education.
C. The changing social and political climate.
D. All of the above.
29. What does the underlined word “issue” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. problem B. achievement C. danger D. expression
30. From the passage we can learn that .
A. students from US pay less than students from other countries at USC.
B. students from US pay more than students from other countries at USC.
C. students from Washington pay less than students from California at UWS.
D. students from Washington pay more than students from California at UWS.
31. What’s the main idea of this passage?
A. College expense needs reconsideration before diversity dries up.
B. There are too many differences between universities in the US.
C. How to make universities in the US more affordable.
D. How to solve the difficulties universities in the US meet.
D
Famous Chinese agricultural scientist Yuan Longping and his research team’s experiment of planting saltwater-tolerant(耐盐的) rice in desert areas of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates(阿拉伯联合酋长国) proved to be a success, with one type of rice producing more than 7.5 tons per hectare(公顷), Xinhua reported.
Saltwater-tolerant rice is designed to grow in tidal flats (潮滩地) or other areas with heavy salt content. It was the world’s first successful case of planting rice in a tropical(热带的) desert area, standing as China’s contribution to improving the ability of people in desert areas to be self-sufficient(自给自足的) in main foods, a move that can protect global food security and improve
the desert ecological environment.
In January, the center chose dozens of types of hybrid rice and planted them on small places of desert areas near Dubai. After five months of growth, the center invited experts from India, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and other countries for evaluation, and found three types of rice producing more than 6 tons per hectare. In June, a second evaluation will be carried out for middle-season rice.
The technology of saltwater-tolerant rice plays a key role in the success as the natural environment of the Dubai desert is terrible for rice growth. The daytime temperatures could be as high as over 50 ℃, and nighttime temperatures could drop by 30 ℃. Humidity(湿度) stays below 20 percent and there are sandstorms from time to time. The biggest challenge is the desert soil, which is low in organic matter and unable to keep soil moisture as it is totally sand. To make it worse, sea water remains just 7.5 meters below the soil, which makes it easy to be full of salt.
With this success, the center and the private investment office of the ruler of the Emirate of Dubai plan to set up a 100-hectare experimental farmland in Dubai, to test the production costs and cultivation techniques(耕种技术) of the saltwater-tolerant rice and prepare for promotion. The two parties will construct a 100-hectare standard farmland in 2019 and speed up rice planting in 2020.
32. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. The tropical desert areas have done well in being self-sufficient.
B. Planting saltwater-tolerant rice can be easily achieved in many tropical desert-areas.
C. Chinese team play a great role in planting saltwater-tolerant rice in desert areas.
D. Saltwater-tolerant rice is designed to grow in areas with heavy salt content.
33. What’s the most difficult thing for rice growth in Dubai desert?
A. Its daytime temperature could be up to 50 ℃ and humidity stays below 20%.
B. It’s just 6.5 meters above the sea water and easy to be full of salt.
C. It is extremely expensive to conduct experiments in tropical desert areas.
D. Its soil is short of organic matter and hard to keep soil moisture.
34. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Dubai still has a lot to do before the saltwater-tolerant rice benefits other areas.
B. The natural environment is the key factor of the success of the experiment.
C. No evaluation will be performed again as the experiment has been successful.
D. The ruler of the Emirate of Dubai thinks little of the result of the experiment.
35. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The United Arab Emirates tries to improve the desert ecological environment. [来源:Zxxk.Com]
B. Chinese team succeeds in planting saltwater-tolerant rice in Dubai’s desert.
C. The rice experiment is of great importance for the tropical desert-areas.
D. Chinese team help expand the farming of saltwater-tolerant rice.

How to Make Sure Your Idea Doesn’t Die
Getting great ideas? It’s Easy. Following up on them is hard! 36 .
Ask “Why doesn’t this work”.
Although he might have had the idea for it, Steve Jobs didn’t just have the iPhone’s unique touch screen in a single night. Instead, he thought about the present situation of smart phones and continually asked a single question: “Why don’t they work?” 37 .
38 .
A good routine often helps you put your ideas into action. Toni Morrison, an outstanding writer, has a more special routine centered on daylight. She rises at around 5:00 each morning to watch the dawn. For her, it’s important to wake before the light and observe the transition(转变) into day. 39 . Whatever you choose as your morning routine, consider it as the reliable framework that gives you the best idea.
Don’t fly alone.
When ideas meet in a shared physical or mental space, creative ideas are bound to happen—which is great. Working in a shared physical space just might help you find your ideal creative partners. 40 . Besides, they may provide detailed focus that might not be your strong suit. Of course, partners needn’t pursue everything together. A creative conversation is more useful, which can set up a series of goals toward which the individual team members are free to work on their own.
A. Make full use of your spare time
B. Never ignore the power of routine
C. They can strengthen your confidence and give some valuable suggestions
D. This one little question helped him get from an idea to a practical solution
E. He makes a great contribution to “the look and feel of the product”
F. Here are some tips to make sure your great idea becomes a reality
G. She considers it a special moment that inspires her to write

Happiness Is a Journey
We always believe life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we think the kids aren’t 41 enough and we’ll be more 42 when they are. After that we think we have teenagers to deal with. We will 43 be happy when they are out of that stage.
We always tell ourselves our life will be perfect when we get a nice car, and are 44 to go on a nice vacation when we retire. The 45 is that there’s no better time than right now. If not now, 46 ? Our life will 47 be filled with challenges. It’s best to 48
this to ourselves and try to be happy from now on.
One of my favorite quotes(引语) comes from Alfred Souza. He said, “ For a long time it had seemed to me that real life was about to 49 . But there were always some obstacles in the way, something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be 50 . Then life would begin. At last it was 51 to me that these difficulties were my life.” This view has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So 52 every moment that you have.
And 53 time waits for no one. So 54 waiting until you finish school, until you get married, until you have kids, until you retire, until you 55 a new car, and until spring.
Happiness is a(n) 56 , not a destination. So, work like you don’t need 57 , love like you’ve never been 58 , and dance like no one’s 59 .
Try to do what you like and enjoy what you can enjoy at present or you will feel 60
when you are too old to do anything.
41. A. strong B. clever C. rich D. old
42. A. annoyed B. content C. worried D. upset
43. A. certainly B. suddenly C. generally D. luckily
44. A. willing B. sure C. able D. ready
45. A. result B. truth C. answer D. end
46. A. how B. where C. what D. when
47. A. seldom B. sometimes C. never D. always
48. A. admit B. pass C. explain D. introduce
49. A. finish B. stop C. begin D. change
50. A. paid B. borrowed C. returned D. lent
51. A. surprising B. clear C. doubtful D. puzzling
52. A. save B. keep C. value D. miss
53. A. receive B. suggest C. remember D. insist
54. A. start B. stop C. enjoy D. keep
55. A. produce B. invent C. find D. get
56. A. journey B. exploration C. adventure D. experience
57. A. support B. money C. praise D. food

60. A. grateful B. delighted C. regretful D. happy

The MidAutumn Festival fell on the 15th of the eight month of our Chinese lunar calendar. As one of the traditional Chinese festivals, it has been enjoyed great popularity in our country. Usually, no matter far away or how busy we are, we will try to come to home for the celebration. The moon that night looks the brighter in the whole lunar month. That we love most is the moment when we enjoy the full moon together. With the beautiful moon up in a sky, we sit together, eating moon cakes and fruit and shares our stories. In addition to these traditional activities, we have a variety of choice such as travelling or visiting our relatives or friends.

Dear Mr. George,
I’m writing on behalf of my class to extend our warm welcome to you. Here are some of our expectations for your English class.
To start with, we'd like to have topics in class such as Western customs and festivals to let us know more about Western culture. In addition, we'd appreciate various activities to get everyone involved and to make classes interesting. It can stimulate our interest in learning English at the same time. Last but not least, please give us some guidance and training in our pronunciation, because we
think we are weak in it. And we are all eager to have our listening and speaking abilities improved. We hope that we are able to speak English fluently and clearly just as you native speakers do.
Thank you very much. We are looking forward to meeting you soon!
Yours truly,
Li Hua

Good morning, class! Next week, we will be visiting Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. I want to describe it to you before we go. It's a very big park. It has a lot of trees, flowers, plants, and even small lakes in it. It also has other attractions. One of them is the De Young Museum. It has many different displays from different countries. There is also the House of Flowers. It has all kinds of flowers from around the world. It's a beautiful place. The Japanese Tea Garden is also beautiful. It has well-kept trees and flowers surrounding a small lake. From there, we can walk all the way down to the beach. The park is so big that you forget you're in the middle of a city. Many people walk around and enjoy being in nature. A lot of people ride their bicycles or have a picnic. On the weekends, there are art shows and concerts. It’ll be fun!
