I moved to the Spanish capital, Madrid, nearly two months ago. I am here for a year teaching English in a secondary school as a language assistant. Before I arrived I thought I would be able to adapt to Spanish culture very easily, but my previous expectations have been very different from the reality of Spanish life.
Firstly, I didn’t realize how difficult it would be to adapt to the Spanish day and the timings of meals. Spanish “midday” is at 14:00, meaning lunch is never before then. My expectation was that I would be eating lunch at 12:00 to 13:00, but most days it’s 15:30 before I eat lunch. Can I really still call this lunch?! The same applies to dinner or tea. In the UK, dinner is between 18:00 and 19:00, but now the dinner time is 21:30. The thing I didn’t realize is that this affects the Spanish sleeping routine. Eating dinner so late of course means that Spaniards /ˈspænɪəd/ go to bed so much later. It is such a British thing to go to bed at 22:00!
Queuing (排队等候) /kjuiŋ/ politely is also something that is very British. I only realized it when I arrived in Spain. I took it for granted that queuing patiently is as the normal thing as in Britain or countries like China, Japan and America. But this definitely isn’t the case in Spain. If there’s a free table in a restaurant, you can quickly take it, even if there are other people who have been waiting longer than you.
Finally, the reality of the Spanish diet is very different from my expectations. Food products that are so normal in the UK aren’t nearly as popular here.
【1】According to the passage, when is lunch time in the UK probably?
A.At 14:00. B.At 12:00 to 13:00. C.After 15:30. D.At 15:30.
【2】What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Eating dinner so late. B.Going to bed so early. C.Eating dinner so early. D.Going to bed so late.
【3】How many aspects of cultural differences between Spain and Britain are mentioned in the passage?
A.2. B.3. C.4. D.5.

I decided to ski to the North Pole. It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996, there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off for the application form.

The application form full of pictures of male explorers arrived. The words “Are you man enough for the ultimate(极限的)challenge?” made me angry and even more determined to get on the team.
Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I had a fear of heights. I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past, leaving me behind. But two others helped me over, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team.
I had revealed(显示)my weakness, and in a place like the Arctic, you have to be yourself, as there is nowhere to hide. These personalities of asking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master.
I realized that by being myself, I could succeed. I was selected for the team. I realized that I could achieve more than I ever imagined. More importantly, by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities.
【1】How did the author react on seeing the advertisement?
A.She got angry. B.She got frightened. C.She was hesitating. D.She was determined.
【2】What did the organizers view as the most important in the selection of new hands?
A.Personal quality. B.Individual ability. C.Spirit of teamwork. D.Courage to challenge.
【3】What does the author think of women’s showing weakness?
A.Merciful. B.Shameful. C.Beneficial. D.Disturbing.
【4】What’s the intention of the author in writing this passage?
A.To inspire us to prepare for our future goal. B.To advise women how to turn to others.
C.To make suggestions to her team members. D.To encourage people to explore the unknown.

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other things, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation (模仿）. It grows into a habit, unknown to its owners. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when they realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is mainly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they want to get some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they do something wrong, no one will excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
【1】People who are unhappy _______.
A.always consider things differently from others
B.usually misunderstand what others think or say
C.always discover the unpleasant side of certain things
D.usually are affected by the results of certain things
【2】The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.
A.make others unhappy B.tend to scold others openly
C.have a good taste with social life D.enjoy the pleasure of life
【3】We can conclude from the passage that _______.
A.we should pity all such unhappy people
B.people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
C.such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
D.unhappy people can’t understand happy persons
【4】If people keep the unhappy habit, the author suggests we should ____.
A.prevent any communication with them
B.show no respect and politeness to them
C.persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D.quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes

Some people succeed, while others do not. 【1】 The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, it is necessary that you should be optimistic. You must have faith in yourself and in your ability to succeed, otherwise you are not very likely to win, or even to try.
【2】. You need to work with every fibre of your being. When you really have a thirst for success, you put your performance under the microscope to make sure that every little thing you do works towards your goal.
【3】 . Most successful people are not as conventional as the people around them. Where others see failure, they see possibility. Where others see a lack, they see a surplus (盈余）. 【4】. They are more than just optimistic--- they see the world in a different way than others do, and do things in a different way.
To become successful, you may find it important to read about successful people, to see how they have achieved success. 【5】 . While everyone's road to success is different, many successful people have the same drive and the same qualities.
Practising is just as important if you want to succeed, because practice makes perfect. This will help you feel confident about what you do.
If you own the qualities above, success is yours for the taking!
A.Where others see a closed door, they see an open window.
B.You need to be able to look people in the eye and be honest.
C.Having proper motivation is not optional--- it is another key to success.
