Even the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person．Feeling down? Consider these things to remember when you’re having a bad day．
No one promised life would be perfect. If you look for perfection，you’ll never be
content．Don’t condition your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself．It is good to be ambitious，but you’ll never be perfect．If you expect otherwise，your life will be filled with disappointments．
Success doesn’t happen overnight. Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. Don’t kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly. It isn’t easy to be patient, but anything worth doing requires time. If you get frustrated, remind yourself why your goal is important．
There is a lesson in every struggle. And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm，you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about．Don’t complain about how terrible your life is．If you search for the lesson in your present struggle，you’ll be able to make positive changes that would prevent similar situations in the future．
Without hard times, you wouldn’t appreciate the good ones. Strength does not come from winning．Your struggles develop your strengths．When you go through hardships and decide not to give in, that is strength. It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail, but how else would you improve yourself? If you look at failure as a part of your evolutionary process，you’ll stay positive and pursue your goals for as long as it takes．

From the minute I met him I didn’t like Edward Dahlberg, or, maybe, I was nervous about meeting a man of letters, my introduction to the social world of American literature.
The evening Alberta and I came over, he sat in a deep armchair facing a semicircle of admirers. They asked his opinion about various writers. He waved his hand and, except for himself, dismissed everyone in the twentieth century: Hemingway wrote “baby talk,” Faulkner “sludge.” Joyce’s Ulysses was “a tiring walk through the waste of Dublin.”
R’ lene introduced me. This is Frank McCourt from Ireland. He teaches high school English.
I put out my hand but he let it hang. Oh, still a high school boy, are you?
I didn’t know what to say. He laughed and said to R’lene, “Does our friend teach English to deaf mutes?” In the Dahlberg world teaching was for women only.
I backed away to my chair, confused.
He wasn’t finished. He turned to me. Does our high school boy read? And what does he read?
I searched my head for something I’d read recently, something distinguished that might please him.
I’m reading the autobiography of Sean O’ Casey.
Quote me a line.
My heart jumped and pounded. My mouth was dry. I could think of nothing from O’Casey that match the grand passages Dahlberg quoted from the ancient master. I mumbled(含糊地说)，“Well, I admire O’ Casey for the natural way he writes about his life growing up in Dublin.”
He nodded toward me. If you admire so-called natural writing you can always look at the walls of a public toilet.
The admirers laughed. My face was hot and I said without thinking, “O’ Casey fought his way out of the slum(贫民窟) of Dublin. He was half blind. He’s a … a… champion of the worker… He’s as good as you anytime. The whole world knows Sean O’ Casey. Who ever heard of you?”
He shook his head for the benefit of his admirers and they shook their heads in agreement. He called R’lene, “Tell your high school boy to leave my presence. He’s not welcome here though his wife is welcome to stay.”
28. What was Edward’s attitude towards the mentioned writers?
A. He looked down on them.
B. He considered them out of date.
C. He showed deep admiration for them.
D. He owed his literary achievement to them.
29. What was Edward’s reaction to being introduced to the author?
A. He asked the author to leave his presence.
B. He greeted the author politely.
C. He gave the author a cold welcome.
D. He questioned the author’s sincerity.
30. How did the author feel at the suggestion of quoting a line?
A. Confused. B. Uneasy C.Impatient D.Dissatisfied.
31. How did the author face others’ laughter?
A. He fell completely silent. B. He laughed back at them.
C. He escaped from the room. D. He voiced his inner anger.
D
Why should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.
Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.
Exploration also allows minerals and other potential(潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spinoffs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even nonstick pans and mirrored sunglasses are byproducts(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!
While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human beings to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.
32．Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph 1?
A．To express his doubts. B．To compare different ideas.
C．To introduce points for discussion. D．To describe the conditions on Earth.
33．What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph 2?
A．Humans are naturally born to do so.
B．Humans have the tendency to fight.
C．Humans may find new sources of food.
D．Humans don't like to stay in the same place.
34．The underlined word “spinoffs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ________.
A．survival chances B．potential resources
C．unexpected benefits D．physical possessions
35．Which of the statements can best sum up the passage?
A．Space exploration has created many wonders.
B．Space exploration provides the best value for money.
C．Space exploration can benefit science and technology.
D．Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Is asking for the Wi-Fi password the first thing you do when you walk into a restaurant or cafe? For many the answer is yes, for others it may be the second thing they do. In any case, in an age of logging in wherever we go, many people use sensitive information on the invisible Net, posing a risk to their finances and personal safety.
Following safety tips are provided by Xu Xingxing, 28, a senior engineer in the Internet payment department of ePo(Beijing) Information Technology Company.
How to avoid being tricked
36.___________. It’s best to include special characters in the password, as this makes it harder for hackers to decipher (破译).
Most viruses come from illegal websites, USB sticks and mobile hard drives, so you
should run a virus scan before you use them37.___________ So pay attention that you don’t point the camera at your keyboard.
Friends and relatives should also be cautious about strange requests, especially from someone who is abroad.38.___________ Students should leave multiple contact numbers with their family and keep family and friends updated on their news.
How to avoid phishing(网络钓鱼)
It’s best to use a U aegis(U盾), or a dynamic verification code (验证码) for every bank transaction. With these measures, hackers can’t take your money even if they know your password.
The passwords for your social media accounts, bank accounts, e-mails and forums should all be different.39.__________
How to stay safe on the go
Usually, you need to ask the staff in the store to give you the Wi-Fi password. If there are several Wi-Fi networks, ask the staff to confirm which one is provided by the store.
Some people like to connect to Wi-Fi networks automatically on their smart-phones or laptops, but this means they’re at the risk of falling into a trap without even noticing.40.___________
A. This is because the password for a forum can be easily cracked, and if the passwords for your other accounts are all the same, hackers can access your e-mail inbox, find personal information and figure out other passwords.
B. Always set up a complicated password for your accounts.
C. It’s safer to choose "connect manually"(手动).
D. The passwords usually contain one’s personal information so use the same password for many purposes can be perfect to protect individual’s personal information.
E. People abroad are usually harder to reach when verification is needed, and relatives and family members are often extra protective when they hear about an emergency.
F. So that’s the reason why you should connect to the net after asking the staff.
G. When a virus accesses your computer, the hacker can control the camera to record your image, or even to record you typing in passwords on your keyboard.

Today’s London Marathon was won by two men, Chary Handel from Lich and Ian Britton from Auckland, New Zealand, who crossed the finish line just outside Buckingham Palace hand in hand in the time of 2 hours, 22 minutes, and 16 seconds, five minutes slower than last year’s record time. They had run the whole race side by side. The first woman to finish was 34-year-old Betty Omary from Belfast in 2 hours and 18 minutes. The youngest person to finish so far was 30-year-old Shelly Mortimer from Alcester. All together, more than 10500 runners took part in the just over 42-kilometer course that started from Greenwich this morning. It is still too early to see how many will actually finish. The organizers say very few runners have dropped out so far, perhaps because of the cold weather. The medical teams had very little to do. There will be a full report on the London Marathon in this evening’s sports report at 7:15 on Radio 2. And now for the rest of the news.
