34、rmation given in the passage you have just read.(A)It was the first day of second grade,and Sarah had been looking forward to this moment.The night before,she laid out her favorite clothes:a white coat and a bright yellow shirt.When having breakfast,Sarah dropped some food on her shirt,so she had to
35、 change into her second-best clothes,blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt.After breakfast Sarah rushed to catch the school bus and when she was just reaching the door the bus driver opened it.The door hit right in Sarahs face and blood dripped from her nose.The driver wanted to send her home,but
36、she refused,It is the most important day of the year!I cant miss it!Before classes,Sarah went to her favorite swing.When rising high,she saw her best friend little Jack.She let go of the swing and waved to him with one hand.Unfortunately,she flew out of the swing and landed hard on the sand,breaking
37、 a leg and an arm.As she lay in the sand,she noticed a shiny thing on the ground beside her.With her good hand she took it.When Sarah mother rushed into the ward she was surprised by what she saw:her girl was lying in bed with an arm and a leg in the splint(夹板),a broken nose,and blood stains on her
38、second-best clothes.Expecting to see her child crying,she was confused when she saw a big,bright smile on Sarahs face.Sarah,look at you!her mother cried.You were hurt so badly and why are you smiling?Look,Mommy,I found a diamond!Sarah laughed.Life can be like that.It can be tough,even painful someti
39、mes.But there are always treasures that make the pain worth suffering.66.When Sarah went to school,she was wearing _.A.a white coat and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt B.blue jeans and a yellow shirt C.a white coat and a yellow shirt D.blue jeans and a Jonas Brothers T-shirt 67.Sarah fell off the swing bec

41、 a silver lining.B.Nothing is impossible to a willing mind.C.First think,then act.D.No pains,no gains.(B)How difficult change is depends a lot on your attitude towards it and your resistance to it.Your attitude to change can make the whole transformation process much easier.Imagine change as a pair
42、of shoes and this will help you understand change and how it works.I am sure that you have ever had a comfortable pair of shoes in your life.A pair of shoes is so comfortable that you really dont want to get rid of them.You know you need a new pair,and may even have them,but you dont want to wear th
43、em because you are comfortable with your current pair.Besides,the new pair may hurt your feet,give you blisters(水疱)or be awkward to wear to start with.So,you resist the new shoes.However,you know that this new pair would be much better for your feet,and after the initial discomfort they would probab
44、ly be even more comfortable,yet you still resist.Do you know Im doing this now?Im wearing my comfortable shoes and they feel good.They have a hole in each heel,and the sole is starting to fall off,but Im persisting in wearing them.This describes change exactly;change of our habits,change of our thou
45、ght patterns.We stick with the old patterns because they are comfortable.Yet once we get over the initial pain of the transformation,the new pattern will be comfortable and feel good until the time comes when we need another new pair of shoes.70.Why do people prefer old shoes to new ones?A.They have
46、 much emotion in the old ones.B.They are more comfortable.C.New shoes always harm the feet.D.They look better than the new ones.71.According to the passage,we know that people _.A.dont realize the benefit of the new shoes very well B.are positive and open-minded to accept new things C.actually know
47、the change will finally be good for them D.dont accept new patterns because they are not good 72.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Once we form a habit,its difficult to change it.B.Most people pay more attention to the future life.C.Ones attitude towards something is usually traditional.D.The
48、more often we change,the better our life will be.(C)It seems hard to watch someone yawn and not to yawn ourselves.Even reading about yawning can make you do it.Now,a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force.Yawning when others yawn,the study suggests,is a sign of pity and a form of
49、social connection.Kids dont develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four,the study found.Kids with autism(自闭症)are less likely to catch yawns.In the most serious cases,they never do.Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly.The work could also lead to
50、a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect.Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together,said Molly Helt,a graduate student in psychology at the of.Yawning may be part of that.Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic s
