The following are four boos that will help you change your mind and change your life.

1) You Can Heal Your Life, Louise Hay：A groundbreaing boo when it was released in 1982．It is still the boo that I turn to when I have physical unrest that requires deeper understanding．Louise Hay is the pioneer in looing at the connection between the physical unrest that we have in our body and the emotional connection．At the time that she wrote the boo many people scoffed at this idea，but it is now widely accepted and millions of people refer to it on a daily basis．

2) The Four Agreements，Don Miguel Rui：Maintaining a sense of reliability and faith is developed through understanding according to The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Rui written in 1997．We are faced with rules and regulations：don’t do this，don’t do that，watch what you are doing，be ind，loyal，faithful, etc．The four agreements represent a simple system of maintaining your own inner authority while practicing being a true person with other people．

3) Slowing Down to the Speed of Life，Richard Carlson and Joseph Bailey：This is a new one in my “bedside collection” and one that has made the biggest impact on me 1ately．Written in 1997, it is even more relevant today than it was when it was written．The idea of “slowing down'’ to get there faster was etremely hard for me to understand．As a human species we seem to enjoy moving fast and epecting quic results，especially from ourselves，I should be successful now in contrast to '‘in the fullness of time\I am ready．

4) The Game of Life and How to Play it，Florence Scovel-Shinn：A classic boo that was first published in 1925 and remains one of my favorite boos of all time．Scovel-Shinn understood the power of

our words to epress either our deepest desires or our most horrible nightmares．

So where does this leave you? The way I see it is if you want to “Heal Your Life” then you had better learn how to play “The Game of Life” by learning how to “Slow Down to the Speed of Life” and eep the “Four Agreements\，the Solutions may not be easy to do but it is simple．In fact, most solutions are pretty simple，and it is us humans that want to complicate it．

It is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels. This is eciting．Yet，on the other hand，competition breees a pragmatic(讲究实际的) attitude．People choose to learn things that are useful，and do things that are profitable．Today’s college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism (功利主义)．

Many colleges students choose Business，Law not Computer Programming as their majors convinced that these professions are where the big money is．It is not unusual to see the college students taing a part—time job as a warm—up for the real battle．I often see my friends taing GRE tests，woring on English or computer certificates and taing the driving tests to get a license．Well，I have nothing against being practical．As the competition in the job maret gets more and more severe，students do have reasons to be practical．

However，we should never forget that college education is much more than sill training．Just imagine，if your utilitarianism becomes the main trend on campus，leaving no space for the cultivation(培养) of students’ minds，or development of their soul．We will see university is training out well—trained spiritless woring machines．If utilitarianism controls society，we will see people lost in the money—maing

adventures；we will see humanity losing their grace and dignity，and that，would be disastrous．I’d lie to thin society as encouraging and people regard profit or fame only as a horse that pulls the courage．Yet without the driver picing direction，the courage would go straight and may even end out in a dangerous situation．

A certificate may give you some advantages，but not broad horions，positive attitudes and personal integrity(诚实正直)，which are the wealth you cannot acquire through any quic fied way. Although in today’s world，the highest level of competition may not be that of sills or epertise(专门技能)，but vision and strategy, your intellectual quality largely determines how far you can go in your career． 63. The author’s attitude toward today’s college education is________. A. positive B. cautious C. critical D. doubtful 64．Many college students choose to major in Business because _____. A．a businessman is very liely to mae big money.

B．studying business is less competitive.

C．too many students have chosen Computer Programming. D．Computer Programming is not a must for them. 65．The author does strongly suggest that ． A．more competition be encouraged on college campus.

B．people not ignore the value of broad horions，positive attitudes and personal integrity. C．intellectual quality determine how far one can go in his career. D．college students get as many part—time jobs as possible. 66．In the author’s opinion, ____.

A．college students are not pragmatic enough

B．college students should have drivers pic direction for them

C．college education should provide students with more business courses D．college education should value the cultivation of students’ minds

Faces that activate the same regions of the brain again and again are more liely to be remtembered. Practice maes perfect when it comes to remembering things, but eactly how that wors has long been a mystery. A study published in Science recently indicates that reactivating neural(神经的) patterns over and over again my store items into the memory.

People find it easier to recall things if material is presented repeatedly at well-spaced intervals rather than all at once. For eample, you’re more liely to remember a face that your’ve seen on some occasions over a few days than one that you’ve seen once in one long period. One reason that a face lined to many different contets –such as school, wor and home- is easier to recognie than one that is associated with just one setting, such as a party, could be that there are some ways to access the memory. This idea, called the encoding variability hypothesis(假说)，was proposed by psychologists about 40 years ago.

Each different contet or setting activates a clear set of brain regions; the hypothesis suggests that it is these differing neural responses that improve the memory. But neuroimaging(神经影像)research led by Russell Poldrac, a scientist at the University of Teas. Austin, now suggests that the opposite is true—items are better remembered when they activate the same neural patterns with each eposure.

Poldrac’s team measured brain activity in 24 people using functional magnetic resonance(磁共

振)imaging. The subjects saw 120 unfamiliar faces, and each one repeated four times at varying intervals during the scan. One hour later, they were shown the faces again, mied with 120 new ones, and ased to rate the familiarity of each.

The researchers then looed at the brain responses that had been recorded when the subjects wee first shown the faces, focusing on 20 brain regions associated with visual perception and memory. Face that were later recognied evoed similar activation patterns at each repetition in nine of the regions, particularly those associated with object and face perception; faces that were later forgotten did not produce such pattern to the same etent in people’s mind 67. The passage is mainly about ______. A. how the brain wors B. why some memories fade away C. the encoding variability hypothesis D. the neuroimaging research

68. Which of the following things can be most easily remembered according to Russell Poldrac? A. Something that activates the same regions of the brain again and again.

B. Something that is lined to only one setting.

C. Something that activates different neutral responses. D. Something that you have seen once for a long time.

69. The underlined word evoed in the last paragraph probably means ______. A. made B. caused C. responded D. mied 70. Where can we most probably find the passage?

A. in a traveling handboo. B. In a geography boo. C. In a newspaper. D. In an advertisement. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

I now that something you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard wor---your ticet to success is through rapping or basetball or being a reality TV star . 71 . The truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject that you study. 72 Not every homewor assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time your try.

That’s oay. 73 J Rowling---- who wrote Harry Potter---her first Harry Potter boo was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basetball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. And that’s why I succeed.

These people succeeded because they understood the secret of success ---you can’t let your failures define you. 74 You have to let them show you what to do differently the net time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you are a troublemaer, it means you need to try harder to act right. 75

A. If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.

B. Some if the most successful people in the world are the ones who have had the most failures. C. You have to let your failures teach you.

D. You won’t get along well with every teacher that you have. E. So many of you dream of being successful by hard wor. F. Failures can lead you to success.

G. Chances are you’re not going to be any of those things.
