Are you a man or a mouse? When people ask this question they want to know whether you think you are a 36 person or a coward (懦夫). But you will never really know the answer to this question 37 you are tested in real life. Some people 38 they are brave but when they come face to face with real 39 , they act like cowards. Others think of themselves as cowards, but when they meet danger, they act like 40 .
Lenny had always thought of himself as a 41 person. He got worried before examinations. He worried about his job and health. All he wanted in life was to be safe and healthy. 42 , on January 15th, 2002, a plane crashed into the Potomac River in Washington. Lenny went to the river to see what was happening. He saw a woman in the 43 water. Lenny did not feel afraid. He kept very 44 and did a very dangerous thing. He jumped into the Potomac, 45 to the woman, and kept her head 46 the water. Seventy-eight people died that day. Thanks to Lenny, it was not 47 .
When you are in a very dangerous situation and feel afraid, the body automatically produces a chemical in the blood. The chemical is called adrenalin. With adrenalin in the blood system, you actually feel stronger and stronger and are 48 to fight or run away. However, when you are absolutely terrified, the body can produce too much adrenalin. When this happens , the muscles become very hard and you find you can’t at all. You are then paralyzed (使无能为力) with fear. This is 49 when we are very frightened, we sometimes say we’re “petrified”. This word comes from the Greek word “petros”, which means “stone”. We are 50 frightened that we become stonelike.

Why do people buy art? To answer this question, ask yourself what your reasons are for thinking of getting a piece of art. An artwork can cost a large amount of money, but if it meets your needs, it’ s worth every penny.
People buy art for many reasons. Many people buy an artwork simply because they like it, even if it is by an unknown artist. Art, as long as you enjoy it, is never a waste of money.
Art is for enjoyment. Art is meant to be shown. Don’t ever feel pressured into buying something you won’t enjoy looking at day after day, no matter what other people may say. Don’t buy something that doesn’t attract you just because it is trendy, or because the artist is famous, or because you have been advised that the artwork will make a good investment. If you don’t like the artwork at all, don’t buy it!
Art improves your environment. Have you ever noticed that all beautiful homes have art as an integral（必需的） part of the decoration? Art lends life and color to otherwise plain and ordinary walls. A well thought--out art collection will help create a unique atmosphere in your home and make it more attractive.
Art makes a statement. The kind of art you surround yourself with says much about your personality, tastes and values. Art truly is a mirror of the soul.
Art enriches your life. Love--even the love of a work of art--contributes to healthier living and a longer lifespan (寿命). Art should enrich your life. Otherwise, why do you spend precious time and resources on it?
Just remember to select something which will appeal to your tastes, and keep to a sensible budget. Good art needn’t cost an arm and a leg.
Happy art collecting!
64. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To advise us to buy an expensive artwork.

A. Whether it brings pleasure to you.

C. Whether you can profit from it in the end.
D. Whether it is created by a famous artist.

How strong are you?
That is a hard question to answer, whether you are a man or a woman. But, really , I want to ask how do you define(给...下定义)your strength? How do you know your limits?1. When push comes, we often discover that we are much stronger than we think.
What is Strength?
Strength is not always about pure physical strength.2. It is about the ability to get things done. I know some people who are intellectually strong, but they get very little done in their jobs. And I know others who find work challenging, but they make it by strong drive and hard work. They possess inner strength.
Self-Imposed Limits
What I have observed is that most people set their own limits. They limit their output based on self-framed limits (自我设定的限制) of their abilities and strengths. Sometimes these boundaries are based on past experiences. Sometimes they are based on self-imagined abilities. 3.So, how do we
break through these limits? How do we get stronger?
4.
If you want to be stronger, you have to push your boundaries. Pushing it is what it takes to increase your limits. In the gym, bodybuilders discovered this long ago. The same principle is true when it comes to inner strength.
Want to test your limits? Push yourself. Test your self-framed limits to see how accurate they are. Make sure your goals are slightly beyond what you think can be achieved.
You Are Stronger Than You Think
Most people underestimate(低估) their strength.5.Test your limits. Push yourself to find your true boundaries and define your strength.
When you discover how much you’ve really got, you may surprise even yourself.
A. Certainly, it is about willpower.
B. Sometimes these limits are based on nothing.
C. How do you know just how much you’ve got?
D. Pushing It
E. As you go through your day, challenge your ability.
F. How can we train our mind and make it stronger?
G. Strength is a combination of physical and mental ability.
