I was doing a weekend seminar (研讨会) at the Deerhurst Lodge, north of Toronto. On Friday night a tornado swept through a town north of us called Barrie, killing dozens of people and doing millions of dollars worth of damage. Sunday night, as I was coming home, I stopped the car when I got to Barrie. I got out on the side of the highway and looked around. It was a mess. Everywhere I looked there were smashed houses and cars turned upside down.
That same night Bob Templeton was driving down the same highway. He stopped to look at the disaster just as I had; only his thoughts were different than my own. Bob was the vice-president of Telemedia Communications, which owns a string of radio stations in Ontario and Quebec. He thought there must be something we could do for these people with the radio stations they had.
The following night I was doing another seminar in Toronto. Bob Templeton and Bob Johnson, another vice-president from Telemedia, came in and stood in the back of the room. They shared their conviction (信念) that there had to be something they could do for the people in Barrie.
After the seminar we went back to Bob's office. He was now committed (坚定的) to the idea of helping the people who had been caught in the tornado.
The following Friday he called all the executives (执行委员会) at Telemedia into his office. At the top of a flip chart (海报) he wrote three 3s. He said to his executives, "How would you like to raise 3 million dollars 3 days from now in just 3 hours and give the money to the people in Barrie?" There was nothing but silence in the room.
Finally someone said, "Templeton, you're crazy. There is no way we could do that."
Bob said, "Wait a minute. I didn't ask you if we could or even if we should. I just asked you if you'd like to."
They all said, "Sure we'd like to." He then drew a large ‘T’ underneath the 333. On one side he wrote, "Why we can't." On the other side he wrote, "How we can."
"I'm going to put a big X on the 'Why we can't' side. We're not going to spend any time on the ideas of why we can't. That's of no value. On the other side we're going to write down every idea that we can come up with on how we can. We're not going to leave the room until we figure it out." There was silence again.
Finally, someone said, "We could do a radio show across Canada."
Bob said, "That's a great idea," and wrote it down. Before he had it written, someone said, "You can't do a radio show across Canada. We don't have radio stations across Canada." That was a pretty valid (有效的) objection. They only had stations in Ontario and Quebec.
Templeton replied, "That's why we can. That stays." But this was a real strong objection because radio stations are not very compatible (和谐相处的). They usually don't work together. They are very cutthroat. They fight each other. To get them to work together would be virtually impossible according to the standard way of thinking.
All of a sudden someone said, "We could get Harvey Kirk and Lloyd Robertson, the biggest names in Canadian broadcasting, to anchor (主持) the show.” (That would be like getting Tom Brokaw and Sam Donaldson to anchor the show. They are anchors on national TV. They are not going to go on radio.) At that point, it was absolutely amazing how fast and furious the creative ideas began to flow.
That was on a Friday. The following Tuesday they had a radiothon (广播募捐). They had fifty radio stations all across the country that agreed to broadcast it. It didn't matter who got the credit as long as the people in Barrie got the money. Harvey Kirk and Lloyd Robertson anchored the show and they succeeded in raising three million dollars in three hours within three business days!
You see, you can do anything if you put your focus on how to do it rather than on why you can't.
1.The first paragraph is written to______.
A. arouse the readers’ curiosity about the tornado.
B. tell the readers why the writer got out on the side of the highway and looked around.
C. introduce the background of the story.
D. tell the readers the influence of the tornado.
2.Why did Bob Templeton called all the executives at Telemedia into his office the following Friday? Because he wanted ______.
A. them to help him decide whether they should raise money for the people in Barrie
B. them to help him think of ways to raise money for the people in Barrie
C. them to discuss how to do a radio show across Canada
D. to share his conviction that there had to be something they could do for the people in Barrie
3.Which of the following does NOT result in the fact that they could not do a radio show across Canada?
A. Telemedia only had stations in Ontario and Quebec.
B. Radio stations are very compatible.
C. It is virtually impossible to get the radio stations to work together.
D. Radio stations are very cutthroat, and they fight each other.
4.What do the underlined sentences mean in the passage?
A. That’s the reason why we can do a radio show across Canada, so it remains.
B. That is a real strong objection.
C. The idea of doing a radio show across Canada belongs to the side of “how we can”, so it should stay.
D. The idea shows why we can help the people in Barrie.
5.That Tom Brokaw and Sam Donaldson are mentioned in the passage is because ______.
A. they are anchors on national TV
B. they are not going to go on radio
C. they are biggest names in Canadian broadcasting
D. they are to national TV as Harvey Kirk and Lloyd Robertson are to Canadian broadcasting
6.We can conclude from the passage that Bob Templeton is______.
A. compassionate and determined
B. stubborn and simple-minded
C. independent and strong-willed
D. passionate and stubborn

Meeting at a church on a Friday night is not usual for most college students,but it is usual for the women members of the Alcoholics Anonymous(AA)in my hometown, which is an organization for alcoholics who want to stop drinking alcohol.AA is founded upon a number of principles,including twelve steps and twelve traditions,but the only requirement for becoming a member is a strong wish to stop drinking.
The AA meeting I attended was in a speaker week,which meant that most of the time was spent listening to a member talking about her journey with alcohol.The speaker told other members her true story of alcohol problems.The group processed the story in a positive way.I noticed several times when members laughed,smiled,and made brief supporting comments while she spoke.Later,a member named Lucy shared with me her view that"this is the kind of place where you can talk about things,and everyone just laughs...no judgment but support."Being able to talk about her feelings and experiences,receiving support,and the lack of judgment were a large part of her decision to keep coming to the meetings.
Years later,I looked back on the meeting I attended with positive memories.The members at the meeting were mothers,sisters,grandmothers,aunts,daughters,and friends.Some were professionals, some were students,and some were unemployed. Despite their differences,they united in their common goal for a better life.AA is a prime example of how a group of people follow a program and work together at changing their habits.The meeting changed the way I looked at addiction-it was no longer a monster. Now I think it's essential to have support when you're struggling with addiction,just as with any lifestyle change.
1.What is the purpose of the Alcoholics Anonymous?
A.To create a program for college students.
B.To improve the alcohol industry.
C.To help people give up drinking.
D.To break twelve traditions.
2.What is most likely to hurt Lucy's feelings according to the text?
A.Unfriendly judgment on her stories.
B.Loud laughter from the audiences.
C.Too little time left for her.
D.Silence after her speech.
3.What is the text mainly about?
A.Sharing feelings with friends.

In the final minutes of Auburn’s regional semi-final win against North Carolina on Friday night, disaster struck. 1. As he twisted on the floor in pain, it seemed obvious to all in the gym that this was a season-ending and career threatening injury. 2. Carolina players near Okeke had looks of sincere concern for their fallen opponent. Finally, Okeke was helped to his feet and assisted off the playing floor toward the locker room. As he left the floor, all the players of North Carolina made their way to him to express concern and encouragement.
3. All those little things that we consider acts of good sportsmanship are things coaches can require or demand. North Carolina’s kids displayed something much more important: a high level of character. They weren’t just following a coach’s demands or trying to maintain the values of their basketball program. They had sincere concern for their fallen opponent.
And you may not have noticed that college basketball is being flooded with high character kids. It hasn’t always been this way. Back in the 1980’s, academic standards were lower for college admission for athletes. 4. It’s pretty amazing what happens when you raise standards for young people instead of making excuses for them. Simply put, I’m a firm believer that lower standards produce lower quality of effort. If you demand less, you’ll get less. Expecting and requiring more of athletes has produced some pretty favorable results. 5.
A.And the actions on the floor just proved this.
B.His teammates rushed to his side to check on him.
C.We will have less people that can score.
D.The actions of these players go beyond sportsmanship.
E.I’m often impressed with great players and good teams.
F.Star player Okeke went down with a non-contact injury.
G.But in 1986, academic requirements for fresh student athletes were raised.

At dawn on Friday, May 19, 1780, farmers in New England stopped to wonder at the pink color of the sun. By noon the sky had darkened to midnight blackness, causing Americans, still in the painful struggle of a prolonged war of independence, to light candles and tremble at thoughts of the Last Judgment. As the birds quieted and no storm accompanied the darkness, men and women crowded into churches, where one minister commented that “The people were very attentive.” John Greenleaf Whittier later wrote that “Men prayed, and women wept; all ears grew sharp . . .”
A recent study of researchers, led by Richard Guyette from the University of Missouri’s Tree Ring Laboratory, has shown that vast forest fires in the Algonquin Highlands of southern Ontario and elsewhere in Canada brought this event upon New England. The scientists have discovered “fire scars” on the rings for that year, left when the heat of a wildfire has killed a part of a tree’s cambium (形成层). Evidence collected also points to a drought that year. An easterly wind and low barometric pressure (低气压) helped force smoke into the upper atmosphere. “The record fits pretty close,” says Guyette. “We had the right fuel, the drought. The conditions were all there.”
Lacking the ability to communicate quickly over long distances, Americans in 1780 remained in the dark about the event, which had disappeared by the next day. Over the next several months, the papers carried heated debates about what brought the darkness. Some were the voices of angry prediction, such as one Massachusetts farmer who wrote, “Oh! Backsliding New-England, attend now to the things which belong to your peace before they are forever hid from your eyes.” Others gave different answers. One stated that a “flaming star” had passed between the earth and the sun. Ash, argued another commentator. The debate, carried on throughout New England, where there were no scientific journals or academies yet, reflected an unfolding culture of scientific enquiry already sweeping the Western world, a revolution nearly as influential as the war for independence from the English.
New Englanders would not soon forget that dark day; it lived on in folklore, poems, and sermons for generations.
1.New Englanders crowded into churches because they were frightened by ________.
A. the pink color of the sun
B. the darkened sky at daytime
C. the Last Judgment on Friday
D. the American War of Independence
2.What can we infer about the event in New England on May 19, 1780?
A. Prayers remained silent and attentive.
B. Night birds no longer came out to sing.
C. People’s ears became sharper than usual.
D. Midday meals were served by candlelight.
3.According to the researchers, the origin of the event was ________.
A. an east wind
B. a severe drought
C. some burning fuel
D. low barometric pressure
4.What can we know about the debates after the dark day?
A. They focused on causes of the event.
B. They swept throughout the Western world.
C. They were organized by scientific institutions.
D. They improved Americans’ ability to communicate.
5.What can be the best title for the text?
A. New England’s dark day.
B. Voices of angry prediction.
C. There is no smoke without fire.
D. Tree rings and scientific discovery.
