His arms shook violently as he placed a box of eggs into a plastic bag. He wore a name card upon which he had wiritten “Jerry” in kindergarten handwriting. He looked middle-aged but his mental age must have been about 12.Ever since I smiled at him the first time he bagged my groceries at my local supermarket, Jerry has followed me around like an adoring fan. His lack of boundaries makes me uncomfortable. I dont know how to avoid being noticed by him. I dont want to speak to the manager my complaint could get him fired. So I started avoiding him.I can still remember the hurt I felt when I was 10 and our neighbor Mrs. Ward didnt respond when I said hello with David and Diane. Instead, she hurried out of the supermarket, leaving me holding my brother and sisters hands. I realized at that moment that I hated Mrs. Wards reaction. Why, then, years later, was I acting as she had?I picked up a magazine Real Simple. The beautiful photos did nothing to straighten out the guilt in me. I was being ridiculous.

It has a long way to goCDriving to a friends house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friends rooftop. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it is that most city people - myself included - usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors. My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life. I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply. Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have television, cell phones, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers. Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought, “Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touched the moon.”9. The best title for the passage would be _.A. Touched by the Moon B. Break away from Modern lifeC. A Bottomless well of Silence D. The Pleasures of Modern Life10. The writer felt sorry for himself because _.A. there was too much pollution.B. he failed to see the fullest moon. C. he didnt adapt to modern inventionsD. there were too many accidents on the road.11.

D. express the feeling of returning to nature.DWhen it comes to success in business and success in life, there are few qualities as important as confidencePeople naturally have different levels of confidenceSome have a higher level of confidence than others do, but even those whose confidence is lacking can learn to build their level of confidence and reach their most important goalsIncreasing self confidence is one of the most common reasons people give for seeking the help of psychologists and other professionalsOne of the many places where a greater level of confidence is useful is in the workplace We all know how difficult it can be, for instance, to ask the boss for a raiseThis process can be extremely difficult for those who lack confidence in their own abilitiesAfter all, if you are unsure about your own abilities, how will you ever convince your boss that you deserve more money for the work you do?Even if you are not asking for that big raise, having plenty of confidence in your abilities is important to successIf you are certain of your abilities, chances are that those around you, whether they are your coworkers, your colleagues or your superiors, will see that confidence, and that will help to assure them that you are the best at what you doBeing thought of as the person to go to, and being seen as an expert in your chosen field, is naturally very important to success on the jobIf you can make yourself the person people go to for guidance and advice, you will help to protect yourself from the ever present danger of downsizing(裁员)After all, if you are a recognized expert at the office, you will be regarded as an indispensable member of the teamHaving a high level of confidence, after all, does not mean overlooking the places where you could improveKnowing what you do well and where you need help will help you enjoy increased success and confidence13What is the passage mainly about?AThe influence of confidence on ones life BThe difference of peoples confidenceCThe judgment on ones confidence DThe importance of confidence to success 14Psychologists and other professionals can offer help to those _Awho think their goals are hard to reach Bwho expect to give guidance to othersCwho want to ask the boss for a raise Dwho dream to be recognized experts15What does the underlined word indispensable in Paragraph 5 probably mean?Aoutgoing Bimportant Cattractive Denergetic第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Cycling Both children and adults ride bicycles for fun and for exercise.
