    Surfing: It’ s Not Just for Boys Anymore

If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would answer: surfing(冲浪运动). But isn’ t that a boy thing? Some people   36  . Most certainly not.

I started surfing about five years ago and fell in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first   37  was the best feeling I had ever experienced.

When I try to   38  surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my life ,there’ s nothing like it. It involves ( 牵涉到) body, mind and soul. There’ s sand between my toes and cool, salt water all  39  us. The feeling I get when I’ m surfing across that 40 , becoming one with the   41   , is like I’ m weightless.

The one thing I can  42   from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge(挑战). You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean offers an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive (活跃有力的) and  43  . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it  44  from any other sport.

I’ ve tried to tell every girl I know to do something that people don’ t think girls can do. It’ s part of being human to advance to new levels, so shouldn’ t it be expected that girls should step up and start  45  the limits of things boys and men used to dominate (主宰)?

There’ re women 46 side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys on the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to 47 , and they will.

36. A. wonder                    B. understand           C. reply            D. believe

37. A. wave                         B. storm                     C. sail                          D. boat

38. A. bring                         B. connect                 C. compare                D. tie

39. A. along                        B. above                     C. around                            D. by

40. A. beach                       B. water                     C. board                     D. lake

41. A. sky                   B. world                      C. earth                      D. ocean

42. A. take                          B. get                          C. make                      D. keep

43. A. sharp                        B. great                      C. hard                        D. calm

44. A. known                      B. right                       C. far                           D. different

45. A. reaching                  B. accepting              C. pushing                  D. setting

46. A. sitting                       B. walking                  C. fighting                  D. working

47. A. think                         B. succeed                 C. perform                 D. feel

   Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.

Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.

The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.

It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.

The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!

61. You need to build a positive self-image when you         .

A. dare to challenge yourself   B. feel it hard to change yourself

C. are unconfident about yourself  D. have a high opinion of yourself

62. According to the passage, our self-images         .

A. have positive effects                        B. are probably untrue

C. are often changeable                       D. have different functions

63. How should you change your self-image according to the passage?

A. To keep a different image of others.  B. To make your life successful.      

C. To understand your own world.  D. To change the way you think.

64. What is the passage mainly about?

A.How to prepare for your success. B.How to face challenges in your life.

C.How to build a positive self-image. D.How to develop you good qualities.

65. Who are the intended readers of the passage?

A.Parents.          B.Adolescents   C.Educators.       D.People in general.

  Teamwork is the process of a group of people working together in order to achieve a goal. It is an essential part of any business.

First and the most important, a team must have been communicated to them a clear goal to work towards. Poor communication may lead to unsatisfactory results. A strong team will also include a mixture of people, with different academic backgrounds and skills. The team must be able to talk openly and honestly to each other, sharing ideas and making suggestions while listening to and understanding what others have to say.

While many employees are able to perform important functions on their own, working as a team brings a wide range of talents and resources to a project that would be almost impossible for just one person to match. Ideas on the project itself and how to achieve its goals can be exchanged, and new points of view voiced, which would be difficult to achieve with just one person, who may be firmly fixed on one perspective (思考方法),thus lowering the quality of the results.

Because a team is a group of people, each with their own opinions and personalities, conflicts can and do arise. If not acted upon swiftly and effectively, this can lower morale (士气) in the team and reduce productivity, affecting the quality of results achieved. A team can also take longer than an individual to achieve a goal, as organizing a team often requires considerable preparation.

Having a good team working on a project ensures that the task will be dealt with thoroughly and this means the goal will be achieved with a very high quality. A good team will also create trust and confidence, both in themselves and one another. And this will benefit both the individuals and the company

Playing is serous business for children. In fact, it’s what they do best! Ask them why they do it, and kids will probably say, “Because it’s fun!” But it’s much more than that. It’s also good for them.

Studies show that from birth babies begin learning through play. They use their five senses to get know their new world. Touching allows them to discover how different things feel. Brightly color1ed toys and clothing help develop a baby’s sense of sight.

When small children choose which toy to play with, they begin developing their abilities in making decisions.

Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination. Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech toy. That’s because a box can become anything a child imagines it to be.

Crayons, paints and Play-Doh(彩色塑泥) are also good because they allow children to crate. Traditional building blocks teach important pre-math skills like problem-solving.

Playing doesn’t become any less important once children start school. Many valuable lessons about life are learned on the school playground. Kids learn how to share, take turns and play by the rules.
