You may probably meet most of the powerful graduation speakers here who are well-known people in their fields. I think the schools couldn't have picked better speakers than them, because they set good examples, deeply inspiring us in our daily life.

1） Steve Jobs, Stanford University：

"The best way I know is to avoid the trap（困境）of thinking that you have something to lose. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don't let the noise of others' opinions affect your own voice..."

2） Oprah Winfrey, Stanford University：

"I consider the world, this Earth, to be like a school... And the secret I've learned to get ahead is being open to the lessons from the great universe of all. Don't react against a bad situation. And the solution（解决办法）will come from the challenge. So don't give up easily, acting with responsibility...”

3） Bono, University of Pennsylvania：

"For four years you've been buying, trading, and selling everything you've got in this marketplace of ideas. Your pockets are full, even if your parents’ are empty , and now you've got to figure out what to spend it on... “ The world is waiting for you to shape it...”

4） Michael Dell, University of Texas at Austin：

"Now it's time for you to move on to what's next and get what you want. But you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. Don't spend so much time trying to choose the perfect opportunity, or sometimes you'll miss the right opportunity. Recognize that there will be failures and obstacles （障碍）.But you will learn from your mistakes and the mistakes of others."

1.Who wants to express “listen to your own heart"?

Life is full of challenges. Some people seem to meet every challenge with confidence, while others struggle to overcome them. Here are some ways to better meet your personal challenges, whatever they may be.

Do not undervalue the power of being present. If you make a practice of facing your challenges - even in failure - with full presence and awareness, 1.. You can ask yourself questions that help you better understand the problem.

2.. Others can help you arrive at your own understanding, but no one ever solves your problems for you. Even in circumstances where someone else is acting as a partner, only you can decide for yourself how you will process the situation. The longer you spend searching for guidance outside of yourself, the longer you spend ignoring the problem. Assess the situation, your resources, and your abilities, and then act. 3..

It is important to know yourself. There is a reason why certain challenges seem hard for you while easy for others. 4.. It's all about consciousness. Those who face challenging tasks have found a way to avoid seeing those activities as challenges.

Challenges are opportunities to grow. That growth takes place out of potentiality, your potentiality, which is tremendous and highly active in every moment of life. Come to know yourself as that. Challenges can guide you to awareness.

Pay little attention to the outcome. 5.. Once you focus on what you're actually doing, instead of the result, the most upsetting part starts to disappear.

A.Look to yourself for the solution

B.Don't trouble yourself with questions

C.It's not because they are better than you

D.you may have a sense of being stuck anywhere

E.you will find most challenges are not challenges at all

F.The sooner you take up the challenge, the quicker it stops being a problem

G.Worrying about the potential outcome is often what turns a hill into a mountain

Tips for Cycle Trips

Cycling has many advantages as a form of travel, as it is the fastest way to travel by human power, and slow enough to allow the type of local involvement that is impossible with powered travel. Cycle travel is a cheap form of transportation.

Distance

On level terrain（地形）, without a headwind, a cyclist of average fitness on a touring bike can comfortably cover 60-120km a day. Distances of up to 250km a day are possible, but anything much beyond 120km will require considerable physical tension and not allow many stops to enjoy the places you visit. For many, 80-100km a day will be the most suitable distance to aim for, as it will give a sense of achievement and also leave plenty of time for meals and activities.

Geography

The gradient（坡度）of the trip will reduce your range. A basic rule is that for every 100 metres of altitude you climb, you should add an extra 15 minutes to your journey time. In hilly or mountainous areas, the easiest routes for cycling are downstream along major rivers, as overall they will be downhill. A long, roundabout route along a river will usually be easier than a short, direct route over a hill or mountain pass. However, it is worth bearing in mind that the most scenic routes often come from hilly terrain.

Eat

Food choice depends largely on where you are, so see the respective sections for more information about foods. As you will be working hard, it’s important to get enough energy in your food. On long trips away from major towns, there may be little quality food available, so be prepared to live on candy bars, prepared meat products and the like if the need arises.

Sleep

While you can take a tent with you, many hotels and especially campsites can accommodate cyclists. However, there are also some hotels that may be less used to accommodating cyclists. If you are exploring an unfamiliar place, asking about the accommodation spares you the search for a new place to stay after a long exhausting day of travel.

1.Which of the following distance does the author suggest to ordinary cyclists a day?

A.90km. B.50km.

C.130km. D.250km.

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Cycling over a mountain is challenging but worthy.

B.Hotels seldom provide accommodation for cyclists.

C.High quality food is easy to get on long trips.

D.It takes cyclists 15 minutes to climb 10m of altitude.

3.Where can we probably read this passage?

A.In a geography book. B.In a research report.

C.In a travel magazine. D.In a science fiction.

高二英语阅读选择中等难度题查看答案及解析

Wearing ties was originally the mark of Britain's most powerful classes, which made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribe—the business tribe.

You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who　　 used your brain to make a living, rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a　　　　 professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take　 seriously a man who didn't wear a piece of colored silk around his neck. This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of business.

“Ties offer a point of indifference,” says John Milne, head of the British Guide of Tie Makers. “They give a chance to say something about their own personality.”

So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks.

Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare among the new bread of　 entrepreneurs(企业家) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders, including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the people—but not the people wearing ties.

Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the Western world to wear hats as part of their business　 uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat in fact his nickname was “hatless Jack”. Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply vanished across the Western world. Perhaps “tieless Tony” (UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as “hatless Jack”．

1.In Britain, ties were first used as a sign to show a person’s ________.

A.Personality B.job

C.social position D.favorite hobby

2.In the business world, wearing a tie was necessary because________.

A.it showed you were a brain worker

B.it showed you got a good salary

C.it showed you were an employer

D.it showed you were well-trained

3.The writer may hold the opinion that________.

A.Blair is the best leader in the world

B.Kennedy is the best leader in the world

C.millions of people will go to work without a tie

D.people will wear hats instead of ties

4.The underlined word “vanished” in the last paragraph may mean________.

A.Sold B.washed

C.Disappeared D.appeared
