Henry was an American short-story writer, a master of surprising endings, who wrote about the life of ordinary people in New York City. A twist of plot, which turns on an ironic or coincidental circumstance, is typical of O. Henrys stories.William Sydney Porter (O. Henry) was born in North Carolina. His father was a physician. When William was three, his mother died, and he was raised by his grandmother and aunt. At the age of fifteen he left school, and then worked in a drug store. He moved to Houston, where he had a number of jobs, including that of a bank clerk. After moving to Austin, Texas, in 1882, he married.In 1884 he started a humorous weekly The Rolling Stone. When the weekly failed, he joined the Houston Post as a reporter and columnist. In 1897 he was convicted of embezzling money, although there has been much debate over his actual guilt.While in prison O. Henry started to write short stories to earn money to support his daughter Margaret. His first work, Whistling Dicks Christmas Stocking (1899), appeared in McClures Magazine. After doing three years of the five-year sentence, Porter emerged from the prison in 1901 and changed his name to O. Henry.O. Henry moved to New York City in 1902 and from December 1903 to January 1906 he wrote a story a week for the New York World, also was published in other magazines. Henrys first collection, Cabbages and Kings appeared in 1904. The second, The Four Million, was published two years later and included his well-known stories The Gift of the Magi and The Furnished Room. O. Henry published 10 collections and over 600 short stories during his lifetime.O. Henrys last years were shadowed by ill health and financial problems. He married Sara Lindsay Coleman in 1907, but the marriage was not happy, and they separated one year later. O. Henry died on June 5, 1910, in New York.56. The following statements are the characteristics of O. Henrys stories except _. A. the stories often end with surprising endingsB. there are a lot of coincidences in his storiesC. the stories are mainly about common peopleD. his own experiences are main subjects in his stories57. We can infer from the text that _.A. O. Henrys mothers death resulted in his leaving schoolB. O. Henry earned much money by starting the Weekly C. some people believed O. Henry was put in prison for no good reasonD. his daughter asked O. Henry to write short stories58. One of O. Henrys most famous stories The Gift of the Magi came out in _.A. 1902 B. 1904 C. 1906 D. 190759. What do you think of O. Henrys life?A. Rough. B. Smooth. C. Rich. D. Happy. BWhy is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow yourself to make your life happen. Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals (both short-term and long-range) to help them reach their vision. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. Its like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal) which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drivers aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals arent difficult to set, and they arent difficult to reach. Its up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your life.Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract (合同) with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget.Also when you write your goals in a particular way you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals. 60. The author gave the example of two drivers to show_. A. the foolishness of the first driverB. the importance of having a map and right directionC. the foolishness of the second driverD. the importance of setting the right goals61. According to this text, the most important thing in realizing ones ideal is to _. A. try to be realistic about ones abilityB. have a clear understanding of what he or she wants in lifeC. let others understand him or her first, then work together with themD. let others help him or her to make his or her dream come true62. If people want to reach their goals, they should _. A. write down their goalsB. sign a contract with other peopleC. face the difficulties in front of themD. discuss with others and ask for their help63. Whats the main idea of this passage?A. Failure always accompanies people who gives up easily.B. Whenever you set goals, you will always succeed.C. Winners never stop their efforts for success.D. Success is possible only when a person has clearly set the goal.CWhen it comes to your skin, there is an important fact that you must keep in mind: Your skin is the largest organ of your body. As an obvious result, skin health and maintenance(保养) is vital. Your skin does everything from protecting you from the elements to assisting you with breathing. Your skin keeps your body hydrated (含水的) and regulates your bodys temperature. In the end, this really is only the beginning of all of the various vital functions that your skin provides to you.Despite the extreme importance of a persons skin, the reality is that many people simply do not pay much attention to issues relating to the health of their skin. With that in mind, there are some prime tips and pointers that you must always keep in mind when it comes to the heal
