For years, I played around with writing. I wrote when I felt like it. Then one day, a friend asked me what my dream was. When I said it was to be a writer, he said these words that changed my life, “You don’t have to want to be a writer. You are a writer; you just need to write.” So I started calling myself a writer. Everywhere I went, I introduced myself as “Jeff Goins, Writer,” and even put it in email signatures（签名）and on my Facebook page. And you know what? I started acting like it. Eventually, I even began to believe it. It turns out that sometimes you do have to fake（假装）it before you make it.
The lesson here is simple: If you wait for someone to give you permission to start pursuing（追求）your dream, you’ll be waiting for a long time. You have to begin before you think you’re ready.
After I decided to pursue my dream, I still had to find the time to do it. Working a full-time job and having a wife and other things to do, I didn’t have enough free time. I had to find time to write. For me, that meant getting up early. Like, 5:00 a.m. early. Every morning, I would wake up, get my coffee, and write for two hours. At first, this was difficult; I had to force myself out of bed and downstairs before the sun rose. But eventually, it became a habit. I did it without even thinking about it. And soon, what started as a discipline became a daily joy.
By doing this, I learned the excuse I had given myself —“ I don’t have enough time”— wasn’t true. I did have enough time; it was just hiding in “inconvenient” places.
These days, most people I meet are talking about their dreams. For example, they want to bravely pursue a successful career. However, they’re doing it all wrong. They think they need to take a huge leap out into the unknown when, in fact, the opposite is true. So if you have a dream, just take action. And don’t say you don’t have time for it.
41. When the author began writing, he ______.
A. didn’t treat writing very seriously B. just wrote about what he liked
C. pretended to be a full-time writer D. wrote whenever he had time
42. What does the author’s friend suggest he do?
A. Start to cheat himself. B. Dream of becoming a writer.
C. Consider himself as a real writer. D. Take a writing lesson to be a writer.
43. How did the author find time for writing?
A. By working part-time. B. By doing few other things.
C. By reducing his sleeping time. D. By making good use of his free time.
44. What does the author mean by saying “the opposite is true” in the last paragraph?
A. We should prepare for our dreams. B. We should take small steps over time.
C. We should make time for our dreams. D. We should take big steps in life’s work.
45. What’s most probably the author’s purpose in telling his life story?
A. To help us know better about him.
B. To tell us how to become a successful writer.
C. To explain why many people like dreaming.
D. To tell us how to make our dreams come true.
C
Most of us don’ t know the reasons anymore but people today follow them because they are good fun.
Today the bride (新娘) carries flowers but long ago she carried strong-smelling grass. This was to frighten away the evil spirits and to cover the smell of people who do not wash often. People also used to believe that the bride brought good luck, so they would try to get something from her. Today, the bride will offer the guests some good luck by throwing the flowers to them after the wedding. It is said that if you catch the flowers, you will be the next one to get married. Of course, many of the single girls at a wedding try to catch the flowers.
In early times, the bridesmaids (伴娘) and the bride all wore similar dresses. This was to confuse the evil spirits. Now bridesmaids still wear similar dresses but the bride wears a different dress that is often white. Many brides wear veils (面纱) over their faces. This comes from a time when the young couple was not allowed to see each other before the wedding. The families were afraid that the bridegroom might not like the bride. So he was only allowed to lift her veil just before the wedding. By this time it was too late to refuse to marry her.
Brides often wear “something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue”. In earlier times, if the bride didn’t do this, she felt she would be in danger from the evil spirits. Wearing “something old” represents the journey between being single and being married. “Something new” represents the change from being a child to being an adult. “Something borrowed” means if you borrow something from a happily married couple, it will bring you good luck. And “something blue” comes from a time when the edge of the bride’s dress was blue which represented purity.
46. The passage mainly tells us _____.
A. today’s wedding customs B. the history of wedding customs
C. why brides wear veils D. what brides wear at weddings
47. Why did the bride carry strong-smelling grass in the past?
A. To keep the evil spirits and unpleasant smell of some people away.
B. To cover the unpleasant smell of her and keep the evil spirits away.
C. To bring good luck to the bridesmaids.
D. To throw it exactly to the bridesmaids.
48. What do we know about the wedding customs in the past from the third paragraph?
A. The bridesmaids wore completely different dresses from the brides.
B. The bridesmaids also needed to wear veils over their faces.
C. The groom could refuse to marry his bride if he didn’t like her.
D. The groom and the bride didn’t see each other until the wedding
49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. In order to avoid evil spirits, the bride had to wear her veil.
B. In wedding customs, blue is the symbol of purity.
C. Single girls are very happy to catch the bride' s flowers.
D. The bride and her bridesmaids dressed similarly.
50. All of the following are mentioned in this passage EXCEPT______.
A. brides’ flowers B. brides’ clothes
C. grooms’ clothes D. brides’ veils

When Lyla, a girl from North Branford, Connecticut, was first diagnosed (诊断) with cancer in 2009, she started painful treatment. “You realize how fragile（脆弱）your life is,” says her dad, Bill Bogardus.
Treatment was tough, but Lyla stayed strong and never gave up. “In 2011, we did a further treatment, and it seemed to have worked,” says her dad. For two years, Lyla did all the things a normal kid would do. But on her last day of first grade, the cancer came back again. “It destroyed her summer holiday,” says Bogardus.
