I've been reading 100 books per year on average during the past decade. So obviously I get the usual question of what books I recommend. Well, Here're my top 4 favorite books of all times, which influenced me into who 1 am today.

1. Think A Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

One of the biggest bestsellers of all times. Napoleon Hill spent two decades analyzing over 500 successful men like Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and John D. Rockefeller to discover how they did it The result of Hill's research is in Think & Grow Rich —13 steps to achieve your goal, whatever it is. All other self-help books are just copies of Hill's book first published in 1937,

2. Psychocybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.

Another bestseller and the only self-help book you'll need next to Think Grow Rich. Maxwell Maltz was a plastic surgeon who was amazed that some patients still felt ugly after surgery （外科手术）.That's when he discovered they also needed reconstruction work inside- their \"self-image\". Everything about how to use the “mind-body” connection to achieve your goals, and how to feel confident about your body is inside this book.

3. Talent is Overrated by Geoff Colvin.

This book drives the point home that success in any Held is not determined by genetics or talent but deliberate practice. Colvin uses examples from world class achievers like Tiger Woods, Jack Welch, Warren Buffet, Mozart to prove that they all got theirs through years of practice-the 10,000 hours rule. You'll reexamine your beliefs about what it takes to succeed and superchange your motivation after reading Colvin's book.

4. Mastery by George Leonard.

This book also stresses that practice is the secret of success in anything. Leonard explains that

C. Ten minutes late.

20. What should you do when you talk to others at a cocktail party?

mastership never ends-you will never have perfect technique and be able to stop. Instead you'll keep learning, improving, and hitting plateaus 期）.The big point in Mastery is that plateaus are vital for improving your skills and that you therefore must start enjoying them instead of getting impatient or quitting like most guys do.

21. What is the book Think & Grow Rich mainly about? A. Successful men's stories. C. An analysis of famous people. A. prepare to get surgery C. want to build their body A. The steps to achieving the goal. B. World class achievers，achievement C. Practice's key role in achieving success.

D. Genetics and talent's influence on being successful.

I went snowboarding in France with my little brother and what we lacked in skill was made UP for in enthusiasm. That day fresh snow had been falling. We stopped near the top of an off-path section. I let my brother disappear into the trees ahead, figuring I would soon catch up.

I began to pick up speed when I was suddenly thrown off balance. Just as I was regaining control, I ran into the trunk of a large tree. It was like hitting a solid wall. The pain was instant

I quickly realized the situation could get very serious. Nobody would be coming past There was no phone signal. It was snowing and cold. If I waited, I would probably be rescued eventually. But the chance of freezing to death before that happened was too high for me to risk staying put.

I managed to get the board off from my feet and moved it under my stomach so I was lying on it. I faced down the mountain and used the board to slowly drag and slide my body down the steep, tree-lined slope （斜坡）.

It took about two hours before a skier found me and I got help. I couldn't feel my hands or my toes from the cold, but I was much relieved at knowing I was safe.

I had broken one of my backbones, so I had an operation where the doctors inserted plates. The constant pain was unbearable, but it wasn't as bad as seeing the pain and worry I put my family through

The recovery road was tough, but I was lucky. Gradually, I was able to walk, then swim, then cycle and then run I haven't been back to the slopes yet, but it might happen someday - I will, however; choose the paths.

Many people who live on Norway's far-northern island of Sommaroey are campaigning to go \"time-free\". They note that between May and July, the sun does not set there for 69 days. To enjoy the bright summer months, they would like to ignore traditional business hours. For example, stores would be open when people are there to work at them. Schools would operate when teachers and students are ready. Kjell Ove Hveding is one of the local leaders of the campaign. He said the 350 people who live on the island already go mostly time-free. He said that in the summer at 2 in the morning, you might see “children playing soccer, people painting their houses or mowing their lawns, and teens going for a swim”.

To show their feelings about time, many islanders take off their watches. They leave them on a bridge that connects the island to the mainland.

Earlier this month, Hveding met with a Norwegian lawmaker. Hveding presented a formal request signed by people who live on the island. The request asked the government to declare the area a \"time-free zone”.

Hveding noted that he understands going completely time-free would be too complex in a world that operates on schedules. And, as an article in the Smithsonian magazine says, people's health depends on keeping a usual rhythm of being asleep and being awake.

But Hveding argues that letting go of time limits can also be good for people. He said the time-free proposal would permit the islanders to get used to the daylight and feel calmer. \"The idea is also to chill out （放松）,“he said, “I have seen people suffering from stress because they were pressed by time.” 28. What does the underlined expression in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Islanders plan to abandon the working hours. B. Islanders try to make full use of time. C. Islanders hope to break the time limits. D. Islanders want to save their free hours.

29. What do we know about the formal request presented by Hveding? A. It was put forward by a lawmaker. B. It was approved by the islanders. C. It was rejected by the government D. It was about a \"trade-free zone”.

30. Why does the author mention Hveding's opinion in the last paragraph?

A. To introduce the lifestyle of the islanders. B. To present people's suffering from time pressure. C. To show the article's view in the magazine is wrong. D. To prove going time-free would be beneficial to the islanders. 31. Where is this text most likely from? A. A news report. C. A health magazine.

B. A travel brochure. D. A science fiction work. D

For centuries, people have kept large amounts of cash at home during difficult times. But during the coronavirus （冠状病毒）crisis, things are different. Metal coins and paper bills can be a source of worry rather than hope.

The fear is that these objects, possibly touched by thousands of people, could provide a way for the coronavirus to spread. Public officials and health experts have said that the risk is small. Still, some businesses refuse to accept cash and some countries have suggested that their citizens should stop using it altogether.

Zachary Cohle is an economics professor at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut. \"In many areas, cash was already beginning to disappear due to the increased risk of robbery, the ease of Internet ordering, and the ubiquity （无处不在）of cell phones,\" he said. \"Sweden, Finland, Norway Canada and others have slowly reduced cash use to the point where using it in large amounts seems unusual. Britain and Australia are expected to become cashless countries. And in China, cash use has dropped as electronic payment services have increased in popularity over the past ten years.”

“Cash ist Fesch\" is a common saying in Austria and southern Germany. The words mean cash is beautiful. But since the virus outbreak, shops that have remained open there, like grocery stores, have encouraged people to pay with cards. And Germany's central bank said 43 percent of Germans recently paid for goods and services with a card. The Bank of Japan estimates that cash makes up for 53 percent of household assets （财产）.But the threat of the coronavirus could move the country toward going cashless, said Hiroki Maruyama, head of the nonprofit Fintech Association of Japan. He added, \"The culture is slowly changing.”

However, cash use is still common in places like West and Central Africa, where many are too poor to pay for the cost of banking services. Dorothy Harpool teaches at Wichita State University's W. Frank Barton School of Business. Harpool thought some people would rethink their use of cash during the crisis, but she said the world would not be cashless until everyone and every country has reliable access to the Internet.

32. Why is cash regarded as a source of worry? A. Cash can't be used during the crisis. B. Some countries refuse to accept cash. C. It's risky to keep a lot of cash at home. D. Cash may carry viruses after being used.

33. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The disadvantages of paying in cash. B. The introduction to cashless countries. C. The present situation of cash use worldwide. D. The increasing popularity of electronic payment.

34. What do we know from the example of Germany and Japan? A. Shops in Germany only take cash because it's beautiful. B. The Japanese are changing their traditional attitudes to cash. C. More than half of the Japanese prefer to put cash in the bank. D. Less than half of the Germans still like to pay goods in cash.

35. Why is it impossible for the world to be cashless according to Harpool? A. The Internet is not available in all the countries. B. The habit of paying in cash is hard to change. C. The virus crisis will last for a long time.

D. People in Africa can't afford the banking services. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

Why not create something out of crumpled paper? The crumpled paper reminded her of a snowball Lily didn't have to draw or paint or even cut. Lily made many paper balls, glued them all together, and placed them on a big piece of hard paper to form a snowman. The snowman wore a hat made of black paper and a scarf made of red paper. Her finished project was really wonderful.

On Friday, Lily carefully carried her project into the library. She noticed the smile and the nods from teachers and other students as she put her work on a table. Ms. Clay walked over to Lily. \"You have created a creative piece of artwork. I am so proud of you!\" Ms. Clay said. Lily was proud of herself too. Her pride grew when Ms. Clay placed a first-place star on her artwork. \"Maybe I am a good artist after all,\" Lily thought.
