One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on,something happened inside him.Years later Paul was back in the area,and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was“No”.Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately,his teachers said there weren't any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. It would be a waste of his life to try to do it. Everyone knew that,he was told. Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected,he wouldnt get his idea acceptedPaul later got married and had some kids. But his dream would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had. As Samuel Johnson wrote,“It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote. Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.”Under the cover of darkness,he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.And every week,he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense. Slowly rabbits appeared. Later,as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment,the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes,and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white,but he managed to keep that impossible vow he made to himself as a child. 51When Paul was a boy,_.Ahe had decided never to leave his hometownBthe economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelterCno laws were made to protect the environment against pollutionDhe had determined to stop the copper smelter polluting the area 52Why did Paul go to college to study the science of plants?ABecause he wanted to find out the best way to save the area himself.BBecause he was interested in planting trees since he was young.CBecause he wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help him.DBecause he thought his knowledge would make his advice more persuasive. 53What does the underlined phrase“the plain common sense”probably refer to? AThat it was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland.BThat his normal work and life would be greatly affected.CThat no one would like to join him in the efforts.DThat he had to keep everything he did secret. 54The message of the passage is that _.Aaction speaks louder than wordsBperseverance(持之以恒)will work wondersCGod helps those who help themselvesDmany hands make light work B“First we make our habits,then our habits make us.”Charles CNobleIts such a simple concept,yet it's something we dont always do. Its not extremely difficult to do, and yet I think its something that would make a world of difference in anyones life. Break your goals into habits,and focus on putting those habits into autopilot. My belief is that having one goal to focus on is much more powerful than having many goals.I try to turn my goals into habits,and in doing so,I put my goals on autopilot. Turning a goal into a habit means really focusing on it,seriously,for at least a month,to the exclusion of all else. The more you can focus on it, the more itll be put on autopilot. Lets look at my marathon goal as an example. I was just starting out in running,and l had the brilliant idea to run a marathon within a year. But in order to achieve that goal,I broke it down into two habits:1I had to make running a daily habit.2I had to report to people in order to have accountability(责任)I did this through family,friends and coworkers,through a blog,and through a column in my local newspaper every two weeks. With this accountability,theres no way l would stop running.The accountability habit took a couple of months,mainly because I didnt focus on it too much while l was building the running habit. But it stuck,and for that first year of running,I would report to people I knew and blog about my running every day and I would write a column every two weeks for my local paper.Once those two habits were firmly fixed,my marathon goal was pretty much on autopilot. I still had to do the work,of course,but it didnt require constant focus. And eventually,I ran the marathon. I was able to achieve this because,all year long,I had the daily running habit and daily accountability habit. I put my marathon goal into autopilot,and that made it much easier-instead of struggling with it daily for an entire year,I focused on it for one month and was able to accomplish it while focusing on new habits and goals.55According to the passage,we can see the key to forming a habit is _.Ato break the goals into habits Bto report to other people about your planCto set a reasonable goal first Dto focus on the habit as much as possible 56The author told people about his running in order to _.Aget more support Bask for their opinionsCcarry out his plan better Dearn more admiration 57What do we know about the author?AHe was a local athlete. BHe often gave people advice.CHe had no blogs before. DHe wrote for a local newspaper. 58The passage is mainly about _.Agoals and habits Bhow to turn your goals into habitsChabits and achievements Dhow to make running a good habit CPeople have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years. The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals. They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill. Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain. No one knows why they were painted there. Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals. Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.About 5,000 years ago, the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as kind of writing. They drew simple pictures of signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language. The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet.The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting writing and pictures together. When an important person died, scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried. Some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stories. It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But, for the Egyptians, pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple. The ordinary people could not understand it.By the year 1,000 BC, people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write, and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system. This was because each sign, or letter, represented only one sound in their language. The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet. The Romans copied the idea, and the Roman alphabet is now used all over the world.These days,we can write down a story,or record information,without using pictures. But we still need pictures of all kinds:drawing,photographs,signs and diagrams. We find them everywhere:in books and newspapers,in the street,and on the walls of the places where we live and work. Pictures help us
