Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience."
How right they were. Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can't."
It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn't let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant's delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle.
It is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age.
At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. Music, for Casals, was an elixir that made life a never ending adventure. As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."
How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer, I believe, lies in the word itself. "Enthusiasm" comes from the Greek and means "God within." And what is God within is but an abiding sense of love -- proper love of self (self-acceptance) and, from that, love of others.
Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a part-time avocation, like the head of state who paints, the nun who runs marathons, the executive who handcrafts furniture.
Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended bouts of depression that had plagued her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am tempted to call Layton a genius." Elizabeth has rediscovered her enthusiasm.
We can't afford to waste tears on "might-have-beens." We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be."
We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses -- finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden, the crayoned picture of a six-year-old, the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and smooths the wrinkles from our souls.

外国学生英语作文：中国印象
　　Ive heard a saying that went something like, if you stay in a country for three weeks you can write a book, three months a postcard, and three years nothing! I am now faced with this problem. Having lived in China for about five years, I am totally used to daily life here. That shouldnt be something to complain about, right? Adapting to a different society and culture is something to be satisfied with, is it not? Usually it would be. However, it makes writing a column about my impressions of China a lot more difficult.
　　Luckily for me two friends from my country, Ireland, came to visit me during the summer. It was their first time in China and it was through their eyes that I rediscovered the pleasure of experiencing a foreign culture for the first time again.
　　At first I found their remarks and reactions to the sights of daily Beijing life puzzling. They were fascinated by every little detail. Details that I barely noticed. Why did they want to take a photograph of a man selling you tiao? What was so interesting about a line of waiters standing outside a restaurant? Why was a group of elderly people exercising in the evening so enthralling?
　　I started to recall that scenes like these once fascinated me too. In Ireland you just dont see them. It was then that memories of my first month in China came flooding back to me. When I first came to this country I worked as an English teacher in Wuhan. Thinking back it was the students I met in that first year and Chinese university life in general that gave me the deepest impression.
　　In the west, student life is a combination of study and socializing with a heavy emphasis placed on the socializing part! During my first week as an English teacher in China I was invited to a student party. Having only recently graduated from university myself I still very much enjoyed student parties and gladly accepted the invitation.
　　On the evening of the party I was accompanied to a building on campus by two students. I was led to a room and entered expecting to see people dancing, drinking, eating and chatting. Instead, I found myself facing an auditorium of about two hundred students applauding me. I was handed a microphone and asked to speak. About what? I asked with a fright. Anything came the reply! After I got over my initial stage fright I found that it really didnt matter what I talked about. My audience were happy to have the opportunity to listen to a native English speaker. They simply wanted to practice their English.
　　In the course of the following year I encountered many such situations. I was genuinely impressed by the dedication and motivation of Chinese students. When I was a student I would rarely give up my spare time to any activity connected with study. Unless exams were approaching my weekends were devoted to having fun or perhaps a part-time job. My Chinese students, on the other hand, seemed to spend their entire waking hours studying. I understand that competition in Chinese universities is extremely intense. Nonetheless, their energy and drive put me to shame.
　　As a foreign teacher I was mainly responsible for helping the students to improve their spoken English skills. To most people that sounds really easy. All you have to do is turn up for class and chat with your students. Thats all very well but wh
　　at if your students are too shy to respond? Most of the students could read and write English very well but getting them to talk was like drawing blood from a stone. They were experts at replying to questions with one-word answers.
　　Alcohol is the cause of and solution to many of lifes problems! Bearing this in mind I organized several parties and plied my students with booze. Once tipsy, they lost their shyness and the English flowed like water. This slightly unorthodox method effectively broke the ice and our speaking classes became a lot noisier. In a classroom noise is good, as long as it is the noise of activity.
　　It may be true that rote learning is over-emphasized in Chinese education. Nonetheless, I found that this does not reflect the natural character of Chinese students. Given the appropriate classroom atmosphere and a chance to warm up the students I met were naturally spontaneous and instinctively enjoyed drama. In some of the role-plays we acted out, certain students became so involved in their parts that they were bordering on an identity crisis!
　　My first year in China was also my first year as a teacher. If I said that it was all easy I would be a liar. It was both challenging and rewarding. I hope that my students actually improved their English or at least felt more interested in it by the end of the year. One thing I know for certain is that my year in Wuhan changed me for the better. Thanks to the politeness and warmth of Chinese students I conquered my fear of speaking in public and became more self-confident. Most importantly, I met dozens of fine decent people and made numerous excellent friends.

My eyes clouded with tears as I looked through the open window at our blue spruce(云杉树), evergreen among brown leafless trees that looked as 36 as our empty house felt. Our belongings were 37 up in boxes. Soon we would be saying goodbye to our home and the blue spruce we&d planted there.
We drove 38 to our new home. The owners met us out front. The hostess took me for a 39 of the yard. They were moving, she told me, to be closer to their children. &How long have you lived here?& I asked. &Eighteen years,& she said. I gave her a sideways glance, and 40 in her eyes a faraway look. &Is it 41 for you to leave ?& I asked. We had come to a pine tree towering 20 feet above us in the center of the yard. &Yes&, she said, brushing her hand across her eyes. Her voice died away.
&I&m not the only one 42 through this, the only one who&s 43 , & I thought. But that didn&t make leaving our home 44 any easier. 45 the kids coming for the holidays didn&t help. Listening to them talk about their lives at school and recall our house. I only felt more depressed. &Maybe this is what 46 is going to be like now,& I thought, &with the 47 memories already behind us.& The new year started. I still ached for my old life, 48 . I couldn&t get away from the 49 that hung over me and my husband could do nothing to 50 me up.
One day I found myself staring at the tall pine. There was something so 51 , so assuring(令人放心) about it. Were the previous owners missing their pine tree 52 I missed our blue spruce? And maybe the people who had moved into our house were taking comfort in 53 just as I was taking 54 in that pine. It was time to be 55 like that tree, to reach out and embrace our new life.

It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said.&Gra-duation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life.& At my inquiry, he answered, &Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave.&
As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed.When I came across naughty students,I have had to rethink whyI chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn't the money. Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a cha-nge. He was working at Nintendo Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one,though I have more education and have worked for over a decade. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired. I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.
A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades.I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class-not about math, but about life-would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away. As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.
Now, on this sunny graduation day,as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication and a deeper sense of satisfaction -I will always be grateful that I&m a teacher.
56. How did the author feel when he heard his colleague's description of graduation for the first time?
A. He quite agreed with his colleague. B. He was very puzzled.
C. He thought it very funny. D. He was very sad.
57. The computer science student called up the author because he ___.。
A. wanted to inform the author of his present job
B. thought the author wasn't fit to be a teacher
C. wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction
D. tried to persuade the author to work with him
58. What does the underlined part &blue hats and gowns&in the last paragraph refer to?
A. University colleagues B. Life memories.
C. Graduates' clothes. D. Decorations in the hall.
59. The author wrote the passage to _________.
A. express his devotion to being a teacher.
B. compare two different graduation ceremonies
C. talk about the meaning of graduation
D. give advice on how to be a good teacher.
&Penn Station,& I told the cab driver and got in. The young, heavy-set man looked friendly and we naturally started a conversation, which went from the weather and quickly varied into the struggles of a cab driver's life.
&What do you do besides your job?& he asked curiously. &I help a nonprofit organization trying to bring some goodness in the world,& I responded. &Do they pay you well?& &Well, no, but I get by. I don't have many material things in life, but I've realized that I don't need all that to keep me happy. If I die tomorrow, I want to go out knowing that I've made a few people smile.&
The young cab driver, perhaps in his late thirties, looked back through the sliding glass as if extending his hand for a hand shake---&Man, it is nice to meet you.& Although we were strangers, both of us felt deeply conn-ected as human beings. And by now, 7 minutes into our ride, we were on a first-name basis. He even spelled his name for me: H-a-k-e-e-m.
Hakeem and I talked a bit about simple acts of generosity,the power of a pay-it-forward mindset and how that can promote trust and connection in our communities. He understood the idea, but it seemed very abstract and foreign to him.
We arrived at Penn Station and traded e-mail addresses after I paid my ride fare.As I was heading out, I turned to him and said, &Hakeem, here's a $20. Whenever you feel like it, you give a ride to people and tell them that someone before them has paid for their fare. See what happens.&
Hearing this, Hakeem was visibly moved. &Really? Are you sure?&
60. The phrase &get by& in Paragraph Two probably means &____.&
A. receive some profits by helping the organization
B. receive no profit by helping the organization
C. gain some fame by helping the organization
D. gain some happiness by helping the organization
61. From the description that Hakeem looked back through the sliding glass the author expects to indicate that _______.
A. Hakeem was inspired by his words

A. as soon as the author had told him about it

63. We can learn from the passage that the author's goal of an act of kindness was____
A. to help people in trouble B. to strengthen friendship among friends
C. to make people happy . D. to contribute to people's trust and connection.
To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. Regardless of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow,the present moment is where you are---always!
We allow past problems and future concerns to control our present moments so much that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. We often convince ourselves future will be better than today. John Lennon once said, &Life is what's happening while we're busy making other plans.& &When we're busy making other plans&, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.
Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When our attent-ion is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future---we won't have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.
To struggle against fear, the best strategy is to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said, &I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.& I don't think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on the here and now and your efforts will pay off.
64. The purpose of the passage is to tell readers_________.
A. people who are busy making plans are living actively
B. how to help others overcome fear
C. we ought to learn to live in the present moment
D. someone who only enjoys the present time usually wastes his time blindly
65. It implies from the passage that ________.
A. many people know how to fight against fear
B. it isn't necessary to fear for future
C. you can gain more happiness by putting off your pleasure
D. some people make plans for their children to improve their ives
66. &Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal& suggests that____.
A. they always wish to be an actor or an actress
B.they believe that their present life is well prepared for their future
C. they are always busy making plans for future
D. they all have a guarantee that they will be alive tomorrow
67. Why are some people depressed and anxious day and night?
A. Because they fear they cannot pass their tests.
B. Because past problems and future concerns control their present moment
C. Because the people they love want to leave them alone
D. Because they make some mistakes in the past
A latest national survey has found that over half of China's netizens(网民)are suffering from various mental problems although some 62 percent of them claim at the same time that they are happy on the whole anyway.
This is the result of China's first White Paper on Netizens' Health Conditions issued on Wednesday by 39.net, China's largest authoritative website on health sciences. It is the first most comprehensive health survey on netizens' health situation ever conducted in China in ten years' time. The white paper came out after two months of online and off- line research that involved over 150 thousand netizens, covering topics and questions on health knowledge, mental situation, sense of health, and living habits.
According to the white paper, more than 70 percent of China's netizens say they are suffering from mental problems such as bad memory, anxiety, depression, and a lack of confidence. And a similar 72 percent of them also say they are often suffering from diseases like insomnia, dizziness, joint degeneration and achings. Meanwhile, another 53 percent of netizens bel ieve that white collar employees who have bigger work pressures are more likely to catch mental problems.
The white paper adds, doing almost no sports and spending long time surfing online lead to the above mentioned health problems among netizens.Only 9 percent of netizens take up sports on weekends while over 40 percent stay home, surfing. And only 16 percent netizens can assure more than eight hours' sleeping daily.

An early invention by Albert Einstein has been rebuilt by scientists at Oxford University. They are trying to develop an environmentally friendly refrigerator that runs without elec-tricity.
We all know that modern fridges cause damage to the environment. They work by using a kind of man-made greenhouse gas called Freon (氟里昂), which is far more dam-aging than carbon dioxide.
Now Malcolm McCulloch, an electrical engineer at Oxford, is leading a three-year pro- ject to develop appliances that can be used in places without electricity.
His team has completed a prototype (样机) of a fridge patented in 1930 by Einstein. It used only pressurized gases to keep things cold.The design was partly used in the first refrigerators, but the technology was dropped when more efficient compressors (压缩机) became popular in the 1950s. That meant a switch to using Freon.
Einstein's idea uses butane (丁烷) and water and takes advantage of the fact that liquids boils at lower temperatures, when the air pressure around them is lower.
&If you go to the top of Mount Qomolangma, water boils at a much lower temperat-ure than it does when you're at sea level and that's because the pressure is much lower up there,& said McCulloch.At one side is the evaporator (蒸发器), a bottle that contains liquid butane. &If you introduce a new vapor above the butane, the liquid boiling temper-ature decreases and, as it boils off, it takes energy from the surroundings to do so,& says McCulloch. &That's what makes it cold.&
The gas fridges based on Einstein's design were replaced by Freon-compressor fridges partly because Einstein's design was not very efficient. But McCulloch thinks that by changing the design and replacing the types of gases used it will be possible to quadruple (翻两番) the efficiency.
However, McCulloch's fridge is still in its early stages. &It's very much a prototype,& he said. &Give us another month and we'll have it working.&

B.Freon is what makes current fridges big polluters.
C. McCulloch thinks he could improve Einstein's design by using other types of vapors.
D.The fridge Malcolm McCulloch and his team designed will be put into production soon.
74.We can learn from the text that the prototype completed _______.
A.changed the air pressure around it
B.was tested on the top of Mount Everest
C.increased the liquid boiling temperature
D.used only pressurized gases to keep things cold
75.McCulloch's words in Paragraph 6 _____.

书面表达范文
Is a Training Class or Family Teacher Necessary?
Some thinks it necessary. Firstly, it&s more effective to study with a teacher than by themselves. Secondly, it can strengthen what is learnt in class. Besides, they can learn a lot more. Others think it unnecessary. For one thing, students can easily form the habit of dependence. For another, students need time to relax from time to time. What&s more, the purpose of many training classes and teachers is to make money.
In my opinion, whether a training class or family teacher is needed just depends. If you are really very weak at or interested in a certain subject, maybe it&s OK for you. But be sure to choose a good and suitable class or teacher, otherwise it would be a waste of time and money.
