They were watching him. He was letting them set his 43 , on the contrary, they allow him to set44 .

You are about to hear a strange but true story. Legend has it that, Harry Houdini, the master magician, once claimed that he could break out of any jail cell in the world. All he had to do was walk into that jail cell with his street clothes on. 'I will be out of there in one hour. No problem!' He said. A very old jail down South heard about Houdini's claims and they accepted the challenge. On the day of the event, many people gathered outside. Very confidently, Houdini walked into the jail and into the cell and they shut the metal door behind him.

The first thing Houdini did was to take off his coat. Then, very strangely, he took off his belt. Secretly hidden in Houdini's belt, was a ten-inch piece of steel; very tough and very flexible and Houdini started working.

In about 30 minutes, that confident expression Houdini had when he walked in disappeared. In one hour, he was bathed in sweat. And at the end of two hours, Houdini in defeat, collapsed against the door, which then opened. It opened because you see, that door had never been locked. But that's not entirely true is it? That door was locked. It was firmly and thoroughly locked in Houdini's mind, which meant it was locked as if the best locksmith in the world had put his lock on it.

The mind is powerful. How many doors in your life do you think are locked but aren't? how many times have you been stuck in the mental prison of over thinking something that really had a simple solution. There is an ancient African proverb that says when there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm.

Your mind is the most powerful force you will ever face. It will tell you lies. It will tell you can't do that. You're not meant for that. You're not good enough for that. You can't go on anymore. You don't have the energy. You must thank it for its opinion and carry on. Because as Houdini showed us the only locked doors that exist are in your own mind. The doors in reality are open and all you have to do is walk through.

1.Why couldn't Harry Houdini open the door within two hours?

A.Because he didn't open the door with his mind.

B.Because the door was locked by the best locksmith.

C.Because he had thought the door was locked.

D.Because he overestimated his own ability to open the door.

2.Which of the following story shows the "locked door," in our mind?

A.Bring the painted dragon to life by putting in the pupils of its eyes.

B.One tends to stand still and refuse to make progress.

C.The donkey has exhausted its skills against the tiger.

D.Lock the stable door after the horse has been stolen.

3.We can conclude from the passage EXCEPT ?

A.The biggest enemy in your life is in fact the enemy in your mind.

B.If you walk through the door in mind, your potential will be unlimited.

C.Unless you defeat the enemy outside, you will not defeat your enemy inside.

D.Life is really simple, but we insist on making it rigid and complicated.

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

It is true that shyness can be a disadvantage socially for those who suffer from it seriously. I mean real shyness, not somebody who is simply quiet. Quiet people could be shy, but on the other hand, they may just be observing because they are unsure of you or others in your company. They may be capable of being extrovert (性格外向的) and sociable, but on some particular occasions, they are quiet.

I have learnt from my experience that those who observe and listen more and talk less can gain a position of strength. This means that even a very shy person, the type who is reluctant to talk in company (在交际场合) , especially new company, can become a strong person in just about anything they choose. Remember, knowledge is power, and a shy introvert (性格内向的人) is in a better position to gain knowledge than an extrovert. Introverted people can give great attention to learning, and as good listeners they can take in an enormous amount from others. Over time, people can come to respect them far more than the extrovert who speaks a lot. Usually about themselves.

What does it take , then for a very shy person to be that successful person they have always wanted to be ? They may only need one more thing to push themselves on their way. They need to dare themselves to take the leap; and when they do , they will probably find all the knowledge they have gained over the years will help them on their way to the top in their chosen field.

1.What does the first paragraph mainly want to tell us?

A. A person who is quiet may not be shy.  B. A shy person may not be a calm one.

C. Quiet people are usually doubtful.     D. Shyness is sometimes a bad feature.

2.The underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A. lazy             B. careful              C. eager            D. unwilling

3.According to the author, introverted people can be successful because they usually ________.

A. have a strong will                       B. talk less and show off less

C. learn more than extroverts               D. have a good attitude to learning

4.It can be learned from the last paragraph that “one more thing” probably refers to ________.

A. energy           B. courage              C. quietness            D. knowledge

“Drink your milk. It’s good for you!” You’ve probably heard that many times, and it’s true. Milk contains calcium, which is a necessary nutrient for keeping bones and teeth healthy and strong. The U.S. government even requires milk as part of the National School Lunch Program, saying that students should drink one cup of fat-free or low-fat milk at each meal.

Last Thursday, however, a group of doctors asked the government to remove milk from the lunch program. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) says, “Milk is high in sugar, high in fat and high in animal protein, all of which have negative effects on health.” “One of the only reasons people talk about dairy, or promote it, is that it is going to help build strong bones.” says Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the PCRM. There are better and healthier ways to get calcium such as eating beans, broccoli, cereals and tofu. Orange juice and soymilk that have calcium added to them also supply the nutrient.

Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but your genes, how much vitamin D you take in and getting an hour’s worth of exercise every day all play a part.

Some nutritionists disagree with the idea that milk isn’t important. Keri Gans, a dietitian, says, “I think it’s irresponsible to take away this beverage that children enjoy, especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient needs for the day, and remove it from the lunch line.”

The U.S. government is studying the request of the PCRM, but a decision may be a long way off. Meanwhile, Marion Nestle, a professor at New York University, puts it best: “Milk has nutrients. Other foods have the same nutrients. It’s just a food. Like other foods, too much might be a problem.”

1.What is mainly talked about in the first paragraph?

A．The concern about students’ health.       B．Traditional attitudes towards milk.

C．Ways to keep bones and teeth healthy.       D．The practice of the U.S. government.

2.According to Dr. Neal Barnard, milk is preferred mainly because _____.

A．children like its taste                     B．people ignore its disadvantages

C．it contains more calcium than other foods     D．the calcium in it can build up bone strength

3.We can learn from the text that _____.

A．bone strength is determined by many factors

B．people’s diets shouldn’t contain animal protein

C．the opinion of the PCRM will soon be accepted

D．people should turn to vegetables for calcium
