“Who is Gogo ?”

Gogo has visited Hong Kong , Taiwan , Japan , Thailand and Korea . Now he is in China’s mainland . A “Gogo’s Adventure with English” has been published by Addison Wesley Longman China Ltd. (AWL)

China called its second manned space flight a perfect success that will improve national unity after the spacecraft and two astronauts aboard returned safely to Earth . The Shenzhou 6 spacecraft spent five days in orbit while astronauts performed tests which China says will improve its future space exploration efforts .
A celebration of national pride swept the country as the Shenzhou6 spacecraft toughed down safely early Monday in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region .
Speaking hours after the landing , the director of the manned Space Engineering Office , Tang Xianming , said the success demonstrates China is among the best in the world in science and technology .
“We believe this great achievement will inspire greater patriotic passion (爱国热情) , national pride and unity , stimulate (激发) out enthusiasm for scientific exploration and creation , and achieve the prosperity of the whole Chinese nation ,” said Tang Xianming .
He said China hopes to train female astronauts in the future and to build a space station , but the next step is a space walk by 2007 .
State media quoted China’s top legislator , Wu Bangguo , as saying the mission’s success would improve China’s international status and national strength and help to mobilize (调动) people around the Communist Party .
China’s second manned space launch comes two years after it first sent a man into orbit , joining the former Soviet Union and the United States as the only countries to have sent people into space . Both did so more than 40 years ago .

Being considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise . Leadership means power , command respect and encourages achievement . Unlike vitamin C , leadership skills can’t be easily swallowed down . They must be carefully cultivated .
Different from popular belief , most good leaders are made , not born . They learn their skills in their everyday lives . But which do they develop ? How do they ( and how can you ) get others to follow ?
Always give credit . Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from others is to treat them like heroes . Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the best leadership technique in the world . It is also an act of generosity (慷慨) that’s never forgotten .
Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism (批评) , which often hurts rather than helps . Kenneth Blanchard , the author of The One –Minute Manager , agrees , “Catch people doing something right !” he says . Then tell everyone about it .
Take informed risks . “The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise ,” says management adviser Marilyn Machlowits . “Sky divers don’t go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes (降落伞) beforehand .” Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure , many of us usually wait for others to take charge . But if you want to be a leader , you must learn to fail –and not die a thousand deaths . Pick yourself up and start all over again .
Encourage enthusiasm (热情) . “When people understand the importance of work , they lend their mental strengths .” says Lee Ducat . But when they get excited about the work , all their energy gets poured into the job . That’s great force ! Is this the best way to create excitement ? Be enthusiastic yourself –You will be followed by everyone .
49. The underlined word “cultivated” (paragraph 1 ) roughly means _________ .
A. encouraged B. compared C. examined D. developed
50. The part Always give credit tells us that a leader should ________ .
A. give helpful criticism B. regard others as real heroes
C. praise people for their good performances D. praise everyone
51. To be a good leader , you should __________ .
A. not be afraid of any risks B. think twice before taking risks
C. try to avoid any possible failures D. know what thoughtless exercise is
52. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage ?
A. Leadership Is of Skills and Techniques B. Leadership Is Very Important
C. Not Many Can Be Leaders D. How to Be a Leader
D
For many years , I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size . I believed that when the weight disappeared , it would take old wounds , hurts, and rejections with it .
Many weight—conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything . Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved , being special , and being cherished . We dream about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal . We wok very hard to realize this dream . Then , at last , we find ourselves there . But we often gain back what we have lost . Even so , we continue to believe that next time it will be different . Next time , we will keep it off . Next time , being thin will finally fulfil its promise of everlasting happiness , self-worth , and ,of course , love .
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty . Beauty standards vary with culture . In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds . More importantly , of it’s happiness that we want , why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body ? Why not look inside ? Many of us try hard to change our body , but in vain . We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves . When we change our attitudes toward ourselves , the whole world changes .
53. The passage tries to highlight the importance of __________ .
A. body size B. attitude towards life C. culture difference D. different beauty standards
54. What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean ?
A. All the problems . B. All the properties . C. The whole world . D. The absolute truth .
55. What can be inferred about the author ?
A. The author is a Samoan . B. The author succeeded in losing weight .
C. The author has been troubled by his or her weight .
D. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents .
56. According to the author , what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later ?
A. They feel angry about the regained weight .
B. They pay little attention to the regained weight .
C. They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control .
D. They think they should give up their future plans on weight control .
E
Everyone chases success , but not all of us want to be famous .
South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee is well-known for keeping to himself . When the 63-year-old was named the 2003 Nobel Prize winner for literature , reporters were warned that they would find him “particularly difficult to catch .”
Coetzee lives in Australia but spends part of the year teaching at the University of Chicago . He seemed shocked by the news that he won the US $1.3 million prize . “I wasn’t even aware they were due to make the announcement ,” he said .
His love of privacy leads to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend the prize—giving in Stockholm , Sweden , on December 10 .
But despite being described as difficult to track down , the critics agree that his writing is easy to get to know .
Born in Cape Town , South Africa , to an English-speaking family , Coetzee made his breakthrough in 1980 with the novel “Waiting for the Barbarians” .He took his place among the world’s leading writers with two Booker prize victories , Britain’s highest honour for novels . He first won in 1983 for the “Life and Times of Michael K”, and this second title came in 1999 for “Disgrace .”
A major theme in his work is South Africa’s former apartheid (种族隔离) system , which divided whites from blacks . Dealing with the problems of violence , crime and racial division that still exist in the country , his books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid from within .
“ I have always been more interested in the past than the future ,” he said in a rare interview . “The past casts its shadow over the present . I hope I have made one or two people think twice about whether they want to forget the past completely .”
In fact this purity in his writing seems to be mirrored in his personal life . Coetzee is vegetarian , a cyclist rather than a motorist and doesn’t drink alcohol . But what he has contributed to literature , culture and the people of South Africa is far greater than the things he had given up . “In looking at weakness and failure in life ,” the Noble Prize judging panel said , “Coetzee’s work expresses the divine (非凡的) spark in man .”
57. When the news came that he won the 2003 Nobel Prize for literature , Coetzee was ________ .
A. excited B. surprised C. frightened D. satisfied
58. People wonder if he will come to the prize-giving in December because ________ .
A. he is particularly difficult to find B. he lives in Australia not in South Africa
C. he is busy teaching at the University of Chicago
D. he likes to be left in peace without being bothered
59. When reading his works , people may find _________ .
A. he became famous for the novel “Waiting for the Barbarians”
B. he won British highest honour for novels
C. racial division exists in South Africa
D. he wanted to bring the past to the present
60. John Maxwell Coetzee is a person who _________ .
A. keeps a simple way of life B. cares very much about his health
C. has changed a lot after he is famous D. often accepts interviews
