When I opened the box at my 12th birthday party, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I had really gotten a cell phone! As soon as I got to my 36 the next morning I _ 37 oft my phone and asked everyone for their 38 .

It felt like I didn't even 39 in that class anymore. I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my 40 Luckily I didn't get _41_ using it. I was pretty 42 that the teacher did 43 that I stopped paying attention to her 44 a week later we took a test and I failed. To make matters 45 , my mom had to 46 the test.

It was hard to show my mom the 47 . She was used to seeing A's and B's on my tests. Well, eventually, I showed her and she couldn't 48 it. She was angry but most of all, she was disappointed.

Weeks passed and my parents started to _ 49 the fact that I had a phone. They would say, \pay attention to us. It's like you have your own little 50 now and we don't communicate as much with your phone．\

I acted like they were wrong, but then I started to wonder if it was true that I was spending too much 51__ on the phone． A week later I tried 52_ a whole day without a cell phone and it didn't go that badly．I had so much 53 because I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them．From that day, I had a different point of view towards cell phones．

Phones really take you away from the rest of the world．I'm not saying that phones are 54 and not to use them, but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family and not get 55 with your phone all day．My phone took away time from my homework and from my family．It also affected my grades．

A

How to look good in a photo?

What should you do if you want to have a nice photo taken? Whether it's work or fun, the most important thing is lighting．If you get bad lighting, you will look bad, too．Know where the light is．You don't want it below you or above you, you want it to shine directly at you．

The key thing is no shadow．If you are being photographed outside, do it in the morning, or wait till the 2 o'clock shadow has passed．Also don't let pictures in the magazines stress you out —all the pictures are taken by great photographers．And all the faces have had pimples （丘疹，粉刺） taken out by computers．

Tip your head and learn what angles work with your face; everyone is different．So you have to learn what suits you．You can practice in Photo Booth for as long as it is your turn, to learn what angles suit your face．Tip your neck to make it look longer, make eye contact with the camera．No one can look bad if they smile．

For long legs, point one leg into center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body．

For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle.And your legs will look thinner and be in better shape.

Keep shoulders back．

Always have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller． Lower your eyes and then look up just as shutter （快门） is clicked for full eyes． Delete any evidence of a less than perfect photogenic moment, everyone has off days． 56．If you want to look good in a photo, the light should be ______． A．below you B．above you C．directly at you D．right behind you 57．According to the passage, we should consider all EXCEPT ______． A．light B．shadow C．angles D．photographers 58．What advice does the author give on taking photos? A．Raise legs on the wall． B．Look down． C．Keep shoulders back． D．Put a penny between lips．

B

Throughout my 41 years at General Electric, I've experienced a lot．In the media, I've gone from prince to pig and back again． And I've been called many things．

In the early days, some called me a crazy, wild man．When I became CEO two decades ago, Wall Street asked, \When I tried to make GE more competitive by cutting back our workforce in the early 1980s, the media called me \Jack．\．\．1 or No．2 Jack, Services Jack, Global Jack, and, in more recent years．Six Sigma Jack and e-Business Jack．

When we made an effort to acquire Honeywell in October 2000, and I agreed to stay on through the transition（过渡期）, some thought of me as the Long-in-the-Tooth Jack hanging on by his fingertips to his CEO job．

Those characterizations said less about me and a lot more about the stage our company went through．Truth is, down deep, I've never really changed much from the boy my mother raised in Salem, Massachusetts．

When I started on this journey in 1981 , standing before Wall Street analysts for the first time at New York's Pierre Hotel, I said I wanted GE to become \the most competitive enterprise on earth．\My objective was to put a small-company spirit in a big-company body, to build an organization out of an old-line industrial company that would be more high-spirited, more adaptable, and more flexible than companies that are one-fiftieth our size．I said then that I wanted to create a company \try new things ?where people know that only the limits of their creativity and drive, their own standards of personal excellence, will be the ceiling on how far and how fast they move．\

I've put my mind, my heart, and my courage into that journey every day of the 40-plus years I've been lucky enough to be a part of GE．

59．According to the first two paragraphs, the author ______． A．had many ups and downs B．had a poor image in public C．became CEO of GE 41 years ago D．suffered from some mental illnesses 60．As the author sees it, the many nicknames of him indicate ______． A．the change of his character with the time B．the various opinions of different journalists

C

College students constantly hear the praises of education．We have all become used to believing that a college education is always a guarantee of an easier life．I was nine years old when my fourth-grade teacher presented me with a task, to write down all of the things I wanted in my life．I filled my paper with things like: own a big house and have servants; be rich and have a good job．The next day my teacher handed back my paper and in red ink she wrote: \．\convinced that once I obtained an education, BAM! Life would be easier．

However, education cannot promise all wishes, dreams, and desires．Society must reject the foolish idea that a college education's main purpose is to satisfy our desires and secure success．Like most challenging things, education is a gamble （赌博） in which results depend entirely on people's ability to look past their wants to see the realism and reason behind their wants．

For instance, my first year of college, I took a sociology class．In class, we were taught that Third World countries were poor．We learned that our quality of life would be almost impossible for an average person in those countries．I began to examine my own desire to be rich．To always go after money felt selfish when knowing others had none at all．Learning about other society's financial situations forced me to look beyond what I wanted．

Through the process of education, everything once desired is tested．Wanting something no longer is enough; it's more important to examine why we want it and whether we really want it．When my desire for money changed, everything changed．I stopped longing for money-driven careers and stopped valuing the people who had them．I began to examine the things I purchased and my reason for wanting them．

Education is a tool to be used to develop and advance our desires, so we can discover the things that are truly significant in life．Education is a source to expand our society to see beyond the superficial （表面的） appeals and the \belief of an effortless life behind in order to desire a meaningful one． 63．The author's fourth-grade teacher probably agreed that ______． A．the author was an ambitious student B．the author should set more realistic goals C．a college student would lead an easier life D．a college degree was the key to the author's dreams 64．Why does the author mention her sociology class? A．To share her learning experiences with readers． B．To support her new understanding about education． C．To express her sympathy for people in Third World． D．To stress the importance of taking a sociology course． 65．With a college education, the author ______． A．envied rich people B．lost interest in career C．desired more material things D．stopped always seeking more wealth 66．What's the main idea of the passage? A．College education promises an effortless life． B．College education tests and guides our life desires． C．College education offers solutions to social problems． D．College education turns young people into gamblers．

D

The word proactivity is fairly common in management literature, but you won't find it in the dictionary．It means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own life．

Look at the word responsibility: ability to choose your response, response-ability．Effective people are proactive because they take responsibility．Their behavior is a product of their own decisions, based on values, rather than being a product of their own conditions, based on feelings．For instance, you are planning a picnic with your family．You're excited．You have all the preparations．You've decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your plan．Proactive people carry weather within them．They realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if it's in their own basement with some special games, and make the best of that situation．The opposite of being proactive is to be reactive．Reactive people would say, \．\．\persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled．

Being proactive is really just being true to your human nature．Your basic nature is to act, and not to be acted upon．That's true, despite widely accepted theories of determinism used to explain human nature．Determinism says that you don't really choose anything and that what you call choices are nothing more than automatic responses to outside conditions．

The language of reactive people is like: \．\．\．\．\is the transfer of responsibility．They think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or by their
