Think half!
Most of us were brought up to finish what was on our plates at dinner before dessert, or finish our homework so we could go to bed. 11 , nobody likes any job half way done. So when we begin to think about painting a room or cleaning out a closet, we 12 to think in terms of the finished product. Nothing 13 with that, of course!
The fact, 14 , is that in today’s world sometimes getting 15 and finishing can’t happen in the same Saturday afternoon. Actually a lot of people do have trouble 16 things at a time and then find themselves 17 by a lot of unfinished stuff.
And nobody likes a job done half way, as we 18 .
Think half! Yes, I know I just said nobody likes a job half finished, 19 this concept can work in a positive way as well as a(n) 20 one. For example, instead of eating a whole sandwich at lunch, 21 eating just half of it. Fewer 22 , same satisfaction. If you’ve got a(n) 23 you’d love to work on but just don’t have the 24 , try half — offer to co-work. Half the work, same achievement. Instead of 25 the whole closet on one Saturday, go just for the shoes, or just one side, or just the shirts. Instead of the whole room, just half a 26 . Next week, the other half of the wall. Half the headaches, same result, just a little further down the road.
Think half! The key to 27 with this technique is that it doesn’t become a start-stop technique. 28 it to help you feel like you finished what you started out to do and see the 29 , and that will give you the motivation to do it 30 next time.

閱讀下列短文，從每篇短文後所給各題的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。
A
For many students in the UK today, deciding whether or not to go to university can be as much about affordability as it is about ambition and aspiration (抱負).
In times gone by, students in the UK could apply to a university or college safe in the knowledge that even if they came from a low income family, their tuition fees and some of their living costs would be covered by a local authority grant (撥款). A university education was, in a financial sense, open to all and the number of students attending university grew year on year.
Sadly, it seems those days are long gone. The turning point came in 1998, when the Labour Government introduced tuition fees of ￡1,000 a year and, instead of giving students a grant, asked them to cover their own living expenses with a repayable student loan. Only students on the lowest incomes were entitled to a grant.
The flood gates had been opened. As time passed, the ceiling on tuition fees rose, and although applicants from Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales still qualified for varying levels of subsidy (資助), by 2009/10 students in England often found themselves facing tuition fees in excess of ￡3,000 a year.
But the biggest change was still to come. In 2011 the Government announced that from 2012 universities could charge fees of up to ￡9,000 a year. Although the Government sweetened the pill by stating that postgraduates did not have to begin repaying their student loans until they were earning more than ￡21,000 a year, the news created outrage. Many students argued that it was unfair that students should have to begin their work life saddled with (承擔起) huge debt, while others complained that the changes would bring back a class divide to university education. These views were reflected in the number of students applying for a university place, which by January 2012 fell by more than 22,000. The Universities Minister, David Willetts, stood by the decision to increase tuition fees, saying that they would not “put universities’ finance on a sustainable footing” and facilitate “a stronger focus on high quality teaching”.
31. From the first paragraph, we know today in the UK _______.
A. students are ambitious
B. students want to go to college
C. many students find it difficult to afford a college education
D. the college students’ financial stress has been greatly relieved
32. In the past, _______ in the UK.
A. students weren’t bothered about the college tuition fees
B. students used to carefully consider whether to go to college or not
C. students were unwilling to apply to a college or a university
D. students needn’t pay any tuition fees or living costs by themselves
33. The Labor Government’s policy on tuition fees didn’t include _______.
A. asking students to cover living expenses with loans
B. covering part of living costs for students
C. asking students to pay tuition fees
D. giving students on the lowest incomes grants
34. According to David Willetts, increasing tuition fees would _______.
A. relieve the government’s financial burden
B. attract more talented applicants
C. help improve the teaching quality of universities
D. cause a class divide for university education
B
Every athlete, from Tiger Woods (a golf player) to a high school quarterback (橄欖球賽中指揮反攻的四分衛), uses a form of self-hypnosis (自我催眠) to move their game to the next level. Use the Olympics to learn how to use the amazing power of your subconscious (潛在意識) to do the same with your sport.
Here are some examples of how to best use the power of the mind:
During the 2004 Olympics, one of the swimmers told of how she would fall asleep each night with the picture of a clock in her mind. It was the timer’s clock she would see at the end of her Olympic swim and it always had her world-record-breaking time on it.
In his pre-shot routine, Tiger Woods never varies the number of practice swings or intensity of his concentration. The pre-shot routine is always the same so that the stroke will always be the same.
Michael Phelps, American Swimming Gold Medalist, always stretches out his back and arms by swinging both arms three times before his event. Not 2, not 4: always 3. He is anchoring (固定) in his winning state of mind and state of body as well as stretching.
In athletics, an anchor is a gesture or series of gestures that put you into the frame of mind (and body) you want to be in to win. Repetition is what makes it work. That means practice, practice, practice — with your body as well as your mind.
Begin right now creating a ritual (固定程序) before you exercise. Visualize yourself doing whatever you do faster, longer, higher — whatever adverb works best for your particular activity. Then begin to mentally rehearse it. See or imagine yourself — with your ideal body — doing your activity better, faster, longer, etc. Using both the power of your brain and the activity of your body, soon you will be better and fitter as you use the Olympics to help you create a happier and healthier you.
35. From the third paragraph, we know .
A. the swimmer has already broken the world record once
B. the swimmer was using her mind power to build up confidence
C. the swimmer was too nervous to go to sleep before the Games
D. the swimmer has a problem in counting
36. The example of Tiger Woods shows that .
A. golf players always do the same pre-shots before events
B. Tiger Woods attaches great importance to mind power
C. Tiger Woods doesn’t want to give away his skills before events
D. golf players never change their habits
37. Why does Michael Phelps always take the same warming-up activities before his events?
A. Because back and arms are the most important parts for a swimmer.
B. Because this is the best stretching for any swimmer.
C. Because this is the best way to adjust his state.
D. Because he wants to confuse his opponents.
38. From the sixth paragraph, we know that .
A. an anchor is the state of mind and body you want to win
B. you can make an anchor work by constant practice
C. the anchor is mainly related to the practice of the body in athletics
D. an anchor can make sure that you will do well in sports
C
Not long ago a 25-year-old law student at the University of Texas named Cody Wilson made international headlines when he used a 3-D printer to “print out” a handgun.
It was a demonstration that not only caused a lively debate on gun control in the U.S. and abroad, but also threw a spotlight on a fast-developing manufacturing technology that could change the shape of the future.
Invented in the mid-1980s, it is a printer that uses plastic, wax, paper, gold, titanium (鈦)—a whole host of materials—instead of ink to create a solid, three-dimensional object. In much the same way that your desktop printer is directed to print the words in a document, the 3-D printer’s jets (噴嘴，噴射口), guided by computer-assisted design (CAD) software, create an object by spraying (噴出) or squeezing one thin layer of material at a time onto the platform. As these extremely thin layers build up, the desired three-dimensional object slowly takes shape.
While 3-D printing is not a fast manufacturing process, it can be highly efficient because there is virtually no wastage. Unlike traditional manufacturing, where material is cut away by machinery to create an object, the process of 3-D printing uses only what is necessary to make the object. Precision (精確) results in a finished product that is both more finely made and up to 60 percent lighter in weight—something of particular interest to the aviation (航空) industry.
“This technology has plenty of wonderful applications. It can be used for everything from dental work to architectural models, jewelry, precision engine parts ... The list is endless,” says Jonathan Rowley, design director at Digits2Widgets, a London-based firm that specializes in 3-D printing. On a much larger scale Boeing and Airbus are already making numerous small parts using 3-D printing technology, and some have visions of aircraft-hangar-size (飛機庫大小的) printers creating huge sections of wing and fuselage (機身). By 2050 entire planes may be made from 3-D “printed” parts.
39. Why is the first paragraph written?
A. To put forward a serious question.
B. To describe an interesting scene.
C. To give a summary of the passage.
D. To introduce the topic of the passage.
40. Why is a 3-D printer regarded as highly efficient?
A. It wastes nothing in the printing process.
B. It prints something layer by layer.
C. It prints things very quickly.
D. It prints things light in weight.
41. Which of the following is true about a 3-D printer?
A. It will become smaller in the future.
B. It will only be used in the aviation industry.
C. It may print a whole plane in the future.
D. It cannot be used by common people.
42. What do we learn from what Jonathan Rowley says?
A. The 3-D printing technology is developing very fast.
B. The 3-D printing technology will replace traditional manufacturing.
C. The 3-D printer will be mass-produced in the future.
D. The 3-D printer will have great potential uses in the future.

Every April I am bothered about the same concern that spring might not occur this year. The landscape looks desolate (荒涼的), with hills, sky and forest forming a single gray meld. My spirits ebb (衰退), as they did during an April snowfall when I first came to Maine 15 years ago. “Just wait,” a neighbor suggested. “You’ll wake up one morning and spring will just be here.”
On May 3 that year I awoke to a green so startling as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of flipping a switch. Hills, sky and forest revealed their blues and greens. Then there was an old apple tree. It sat on an undeveloped lot in my neighborhood. It belonged to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree’s dark twisted branches were unpruned (未修剪的). It blossomed so profusely that the air was filled with the aroma (芳香) of apples. When I drove by with my windows rolled down, it gave me the feeling of moving in another element, like a kid on a water slide. xKb
Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a fit of spring madness, I set out with pruner and lopper (修枝剪) to remove a few branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbors opened their windows and stepped onto their porches. These were people I barely knew and seldom spoke to, but it was as if I had come unbidden (擅自) into their personal gardens.
My mobile-home neighbor was the first to speak. “You’re not cutting it down, are you?” Another neighbor showed pain as I cut off a branch. “Don’t kill it, now,” he cautioned. Soon half the neighborhood had joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people’s names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree gathering us under it for the dual (雙重的) purpose of acquaintanceship and shared wonder.
Just the other day I saw one of my neighbors at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained about not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighborhood. And then, he looked at me and said, “We need to prune that apple tree again.”
43. Which of the following can best describe the author’s feeling about the April snowfall 15 years ago in Maine?
A. Guilty. B. Depressed. C. Thrilled. D. Pleased.
44. The author thought the apple tree _______.
A. belonged to someone else
B. caused the inconvenience of driving
C. needed to be taken better care of
D. gave off an unpleasant smell in the spring
45. From the passage we know that _______.
A. the author was the only one aware of the apple tree
B. the author’s neighbors were not easy to get along with
C. the neighbors were worried that the author would cut down the tree
D. the neighbors suggested that the author should cut down the tree
46. We can infer from the passage that pruning the apple tree _______.
A. provided a beautiful view for the neighborhood
B. worked as a bridge for people to get known to each other
C. offered people a chance to take exercise in the spring
D. made people know the wonder of spring

About 20 women signed up for a half-day course offered by Rebecca Li of the etiquette (禮儀) school Institute Sarita. For three hours, Ms. Li reviewed elements of dressing and dining, western-style.
The ministry requested the seminar, says Institute Sarita founder Sara Jane Ho, who offered the class free of charge. Ms. Li, who ran the seminar, says that the women also had questions about how to keep fit and what kind of face cream to wear under makeup.
Institute Sarita is not the first to bring western-style etiquette to China. Before Beijing’s 2008 Olympics, the government launched a campaign to “civilize” its citizens, handing out leaflets to warn against spitting in public, jumping to the front of lines, and asking foreigners how much money they make. Knigge Akademie, a German company, opened in Beijing in March 2011, offering business etiquette courses on western dress and dining, as well as body language and rules of electronic communication. And vocational (職業的) schools advertise courses in business etiquette.
But other companies have attempted to succeed in teaching etiquette, such as Beijing’s Etiquette Society, which opened its door in 2008 and closed again in 2011. “I don’t think we thought through the concept,” says Etiquette Society founder Freddie Cull. He adds that at the time, there didn’t seem to be enough of a market for the school.
Ms. Ho, raised in Hong Kong but educated in the US, spent some time working in banking on Wall Street. Every time the 27-year-old Harvard Business School graduate heard about Chinese nationals misbehaving abroad, “it would affect me on a very personal level,” she said. She knows that when she travels, she’s really representing China, and she thinks everyone has a responsibility to represent their country.
Ms. Ho’s high-end school charges 100,000 yuan for a 12-day course in being a hostess and 80,000 yuan for a 10-day “debutante” (入門禮儀) course.
Much of the training takes place in her offices in the Park Hyatt Residences. Surrounded by French-made furniture and Raynaud porcelain tea sets, Ms. Ho serves Earl Grey tea and lemon tarts (小圓餅) prepared by her chef, who had formerly worked at the French embassy. Women taking her course face a series of challenges: how to handle the dripping cheese, what kinds of topics working for small talk around the table, where to stand on the escalator, how to pronounce Louis Vuitton. She offers a lesson on the history of cutlery (餐具) and another on gifts and flowers. Each day, they have to set a table based on the items served in a three to five courses’ lunch prepared by the chef.
The goal, says Ms. Ho, is that her students will go on to influence the people around them. “It’s the ripple effect. It’s not just China that needs etiquette,” she says. “It’s the whole world.”
47. Paragraph 3 is mainly intended to tell us that _______.
A. western-style etiquette began to be given a lot of attention in China
B. the Chinese government tried to improve the citizens’ civilization
C. Chinese schools weren’t aware of the importance of business etiquette
D. Knigge Akademie is the first to teach western business etiquette in China
48. According to Freddie Cull, Beijing’s Etiquette Society didn’t succeed because _______.
A. it lacked good teachers specializing in etiquette
B. Chinese people didn’t realize the importance of etiquette
C. it was not supported by the government
D. it charged too many tuition fees
49. Which of the following can people NOT learn at Institute Sarita?
A. Table manners. B. Preparing a French meal.
C. Conversation-making skills. D. Knowledge on gifts and flowers.
50. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Etiquette becomes popular in China
B. Institute Sarita — a pioneer etiquette school
C. Ms. Ho—the founder of Institute Sarita
D. Courses offered by Institute Sarita

Three years ago, I met with some setbacks in my life and study. I wanted to give up my dream. Learning about my idea, my teacher recommended The Making of a Hero to me. Having read the novel, I was deeply impressed and inspired by the hero. This book made me regain confidence and it made me realize that no matter what difficultly we meet, we should never give up. Eventually, I managed to overcome the difficulty. This book has a positive and great influence on me in my lifetime.
So I think reading is very important. If you have time, read more good books, which will make you a wise man.
