Let me tell you about five of the enemies we face from within.The first enemy that you’ve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference.What a tragic disease this is! “Ho-hum,let it slide. I’ll just drift along.” Here’s one problem with drifting:you can’t drift your way to the top of the mountain.

The second enemy we face is indecision(優(yōu)柔寡斷). Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise.It will steal your chances for a better future.Take a sword to this enemy.

The third enemy inside is doubt.Sure,there’s room for healthy skepticism.You can’t believe everything.But you also can’t let doubt take over.Many people doubt the past, doubt the future,doubt each other,doubt the government,doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities.              , they doubt themselves.I’m telling you,doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success.It will empty both your bank account and your heart.Doubt is all enemy.Get rid of it.

The fourth enemy within is worry.We’ve all got to worry some.Just don’t let it conquer you.Instead, let it alarm you.Worry can be useful.If you step off the curb (路邊) in New York City and a taxi is coming,you’ve got to worry.But you can’t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small coffer.Here’s what you’ve got to do with your worries:drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you,you’ve got to get it.Whatever is pushing on you, you’ve got to push back.   

The fifth enemy is overcaution. It is the timid (膽小的) approach to life.Timidity is not a virtue;it’s all illness.If you let it go,it’ll conquer you.Timid people don’t get promoted.They don’t advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace.You’ve got to avoid overcaution.       

1.What’s the best title for this passage? (Within 8 words)   

                                                                          .

2.List three enemies inside that might prevent you from getting promoted.(Within 5 words)

                                                                          .

3.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words or phrases.(Within 5 words)

                                                                          .

4.Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?

However,you shouldn’t be forced into a small room by the worry beyond control.

                                                                          .

5.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 into Chinese.

                                                                        

 

【答案】

1.Facing the Enemies from Within.

2.indifference,indecision,doubt,worry, overcauti on.(其中三個(gè))

3.Besides/Even worse/Worse still/Worse of all等

科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:閱讀理解

In 1996 I wanted to buy a Honda Civic. I went to the local dealer. "Oh, you want a Civic, do you?" said the fellow. "And I suppose you'd also like us to throw in a couple of front-row Superbowl tickets? Haw! Haw! Haw! Haw!"

When his laughter ended, he explained that the Civic was such a hit in Europe that Honda was getting an extra $ 2,000 per car there, making Civic practically unavailable in the States. But he did offer to let me add my name to the waiting list--if I agreed to pay $1,000 over the sticker (標(biāo)貼) price.

When Honda dealerships No. 2 and No. 3 gave me the same story, I was ready to try anything. I carefully looked over to www.autobytel.com. For a skinflint like me, Auto-By-Tel's scheme (方案) is nearly irresistible. You indicate the car you want to buy, compete with the freedom to choose. The nearest participating car dealer mails you back with a cut rate offer. There's no charge for any of this ― and no obligation to accept the offer. It surely seemed no less to me.

Sure enough, two days later, a dealer 30 minutes away wrote me. "Unfortunately, 96 Civics are in very short supply," his message said, "The best we can offer you is $1,200 under sticker price. “I was in happiness. Ah! Bliss! Ah, saving! Ah, revenge!

When I picked up the car, it got better. Since there was no haggling (還價(jià)), the dealership fellow was friendly and congratulatory instead of everything. Now this, I thought, is the way to buy a car.

     Auto-By-Tel makes money by charging a fee to each participating dealer. The dealers make money by receiving hundreds of ready-to-buy customer names off the Web. And you save money because your price doesn't reflect advertising, test drives, sales commissions, and so on.

My only regret is that I didn't think up Auto-By-Tel first.

 

51. This text mainly tells about the story of _____.

A. saving money charging

B. quarrelling with the dealers

C. the experience of buying a car

D. regretting buying a new Civic

52. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “skinflint”?

A. A person who doesn’t like wasting money.

B. A person who has few words.

C. A person who is afraid of everything.

53. From the text, we can draw a conclusion:_____.

A. Believe others' good remarks while buying something

B. If you want to do anything, you must have a will

C. The writer was not generous at all and he loved money very much

D. Be sure of yourself and you will fail

54. What do you think of the Auto-By-Tel?

A. It makes money by not giving taxes.

B. It is good at advertising.

C. It is good at the business.

D. It makes money by cheating customers.

55. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the text?

A. In 1996, Honda was so famous that it was hard to buy one in Europe.

B. If the dealer mails you with a cut rate offer, you should accept it but without any charge.

C. At last, the writer paid $1,200 for the car he liked.

D. It was with the fourth dealer that the writer made a successful deal.
