A

You've probably heard about sports coaches， fitness coaches， voice and music teachers， career counselors， psychiatrists（精神病醫(yī)師） and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.

But there's a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “l(fā)ife coach”. People who are at crossroads in their lives， and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost， are turning to them for help.

The idea that one person's success story can change other people's lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegie's famous self-improvement program “How to Win Friends and Influence People” came along soon thereafter.

But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business， sports， military service， or psychotherapy （心理療法） to help others make critical life decisions.

They often give their approach a slogan， such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.

Dave Lakhani in Boise， Idaho， for instance， works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one's career and life outside work.

Lakhani's Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful—including battered women and struggling single mothers.

But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone， trained or untrained， can call himself or herself a life coach， and that slick （華而不實(shí)的） promoters who mess with people's lives can do more harm than good.

1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage？

A. Working Yourself Happy

B. Life Coaches Help with Tough Decisions

C. How to Cope with Daily Life with Life Coaches

D. The Life-Coaching Movement

2. The underlined phrase “l(fā)ife coach” in Paragraph 2 means “________”.

A. the career counselor who teaches skills

B. the psychiatrist who helps us cope with daily life

C. the fitness coach who teaches us lessons

D. the specialist who helps us make important life decisions

3. The last paragraph is mainly about ________.

A. the introductions of life coach? ? ? B. the disagreements of life coach

C. the effects of life coach? ? ? ? ? ? D. the experiences of life coach

4. What is the author's attitude towards life coaches？

A. Cautious.? ? ? ? B. Approving.? ? ? C. Casual.? ? ? D. Disapproving.

Thirteen can be a challenging age. Not only did I have to adapt to my changing body， I also had to deal with my parents' bitter divorce， a new family and the upsetting move from my country home to a crowded town.

When we moved， my beloved companion， a small brown pony had to be sold. I was heartbroken and terribly lonely. I couldn't eat or sleep and cried all the time. Finally， realizing how much I missed my pony， my father bought me another horse， Cowboy.

Cowboy was without doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn't care. I loved him beyond all reasons.

I joined a riding club. When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged by appearance， we were quickly “shown the gate”. I knew nothing could turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the timed speed events. I chose the jumping race.

For the whole next month we practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home， totally exhausted.

All of our hard work didn't make me feel confident by the time the show came. One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. I sat at the gate and sweated all out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the court and finish in first place.

My turn finally came. At the signal， we dashed toward the first fence， jumped over it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second， third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.

No cheers filled the air. The end of our run was met with surprised silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds.

I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen， I realized that no matter what the odds， I'd always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it. I can be the owner of my fate.

9. Why did the author like Cowboy so much in spite of its ugliness？

A. Because she loved horses more than anything else.

B. Because Cowboy was a strong and smart young horse.

C. Because Cowboy had a lot in common with her pony.

D. Because she was sad and lonely and needed a companion.

10. The audience fell into silence at the end of the run probably because ________.

A. they didn't expect Cowboy would win the event

B. they were unhappy that Becky was beaten in the event

C. they didn't like cowboy， for it was too ugly

D. they never saw a horse running as fast as Cowboy

11. After the competition， the author came to realize that ________.

A. she ought to gather the courage to solve all the problems

B. it was time to forget her pony and treat Cowboy better

C. she needed to work harder to win more blue ribbons

D. she could be the god of her own fate if she tried hard enough

12. It can be inferred from the story that ________.

A. all of their hard training was totally in vain

B. a blue ribbon must be the second highest prize

C. Cowboy lost in the event of being judged by appearance

D. both Becky and the author won in the jumping event

Many thousands of Chinese are studying at schools in the United States. And writer Liel Leibovitz says the students are following an example that began in the 1870's.

Mr. Leibovitz and writer Matthew Miller joined forces to tell the story of the students in their book， “Fortunate Sons”. The book says China sent one hundred and twenty boys from 1872 to 1875 to America to learn about developments that could help modernize their country.

Mr. Leibovitz got the idea for the book about the boys a few years ago when he was traveling with his wife in China.

Mr. Leibovitz learned that Qing government sent a whole delegation （代表團(tuán)） of boys to learn the ways of the West. The goal was for them to return to China and help their country.

The book says the boys received their American training in Massachusetts， New York， New Jersey and Connecticut. It must have been a very good education. Mr. Leibovitz says the first prime minister of the Chinese Republic completed this program. And so did the first engineer to build a large-scale railroad without foreign help. The same was true of the fathers of Chinese education， diplomacy and the Navy.

The book-writers had only to open some boxes containing the writings of these men to learn about them. Their notebooks， journals， letters and postcards were in English. Mr. Leibovitz said he was lucky to have so much information from events that took place long ago.

The students returned to China after about nine years. They no longer spoke Mandarin well enough to answer questions. Police welcomed them home by putting them in jail. The young men were released after about a week. But they were given low-level jobs.

Mr. Leibovitz says it took about ten years for them to rise to higher positions. He said their story continues today with large numbers of Chinese studying in the United States.

13. How many exchange children did Qing government send to America？

A. 1872.? ? ? ? ? ? B. 1875.? ? ? ? ? C. 120.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? D. 210.

14. The Qing government send the boys to America because it ________.

A. wanted them to help their country

B. lost the war

C. expected them to destroy the culture of the West

D. wanted the Western to help the boys

15. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage？

A. Many thousands of Chinese are studying at schools in America.

B. Some of the boys received their American training in California.

C. Police welcomed the boys home by putting them in jail.

D. One of the boys became the father of Chinese education.

Guide for Teenagers

The teenage years can be tough， and it's normal to feel sad every now and then. But if these feelings don't go away or become so intense that you can't handle them， you may be suffering from depression. __1__

Try not to isolate yourself

When you're depressed， you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. Just getting out of bed in the morning can be difficult， but isolating yourself only makes depression worse. __2__ Spend time with friends， especially those who are active.

Keep your body healthy

Making healthy lifestyle choices can do wonders for your mood. Ever heard of a “runners high”？ Physical activity can be as effective as medications for depression， so get involved in sports， ride your bike， or take a dance class. Any activity helps！__3__ As for food， make sure you're feeding your mind with plenty of fruits， vegetables， and whole grains.

Avoid alcohol and drugs

You maybe try drinking or use drugs in an effort to escape from your feelings and get a “mood boost”， even if just for a short time. However， substance use can not only make depression worse， but can cause you to become more depressed. __4__ You will need special treatment for your substance problem.

__5__

Stress and worry can lead to depression. Talk to a teacher if exams or classes seem overwhelming. In addition， if you have a health concern you feel you can't talk to your parents about， see a doctor. A health professional can help you approach your parents and guide you toward appropriate treatment. If you're dealing with relationship， friendship， or family problems， talk to an adult you trust.

A. Ask for help if you are stressed.

B. Even a short walk can be beneficial.

C. Turn to your parents for help.

D. As you get out into the world， you may find yourself feeling better.

E. In short， drinking and taking drugs will make you feel worse—not better—in the long run.

F. The more exercise you do， the healthier you will be.

G. Help is available and you have more power than you think.

I love camping. It is my favouritest way to spend the summer vacation. Last year， my families and I went camping in the countryside. It was one of the most excited experiences I had never had.
