Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Take, for example, the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.

The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move.“Sensei,” the boy finally said, “shouldn't I be learning more moves?”“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know,” the sensei replied.

Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.

Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy skillfully used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened.

“No,” the sensei insisted, “Let him continue.” Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind. “Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?” “You won for two reasons,” the sensei answered. “First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”

The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

1.we can infer from Paragraph 2 that the teacher__________.

A. was unwilling to teach the boy

Compared to the other parts of the body, our ears don’t ask for much. They don't need to be brushed once a day like your teeth. But they need some special care, especially if you like listening to music with earphones.

Maybe your mum or dad has told you, "Turn that down before you go deaf!" Well, they are quite right. Loud noise might cause hearing loss for a short time or even forever. Think that earphones are a good way to escape from tour parents’ eyes? Well. It may not be as good a way as you expect. American doctors have studied a group of 44,000 people who used earphones more than 15 hours per week. The doctors found that 37,000 of them were getting hearing problems.

If you use earphones for too long a time, your ears might feel painful. You could also lose your hearing for the rest of your life. So don’t wear your earphones too long. Use them less than one hour a day. Want sharp hearing? Don’t forget to do the following: Try to stay away from places where there is too much noise, like a disco. If you have to go, wear earplugs. When swimming, remember to put earplugs into your ears to stop water from getting in. Never put anything sharp into your ears. If you think you have too much earwax, ask your mum or dad to help you clean it out.

Keep these things in mind! Then you won't be saying "WHAT???" when you are older.

1.Using earphones "may not be as good a way as you expect" because _______.

A. your parents know what you're doing

B. it can cause hearing problems

C. it makes your parents angry

D. most of you use them improperly

2.If you want sharp hearing, you should _____.

A. have your ears specially trained

B. often wear earplugs and clean out the earwax

C. take good care of your ears

D. choose what you listen to carefully

3."WHAT???" in the last sentence is an expression showing that the speaker____.

A. has become impatient

B. speaks in a loud voice

C. is slow in understanding

D. asks for a lot of repetition

I don’t think I need to tell you that reading is good for you — great for you. 1. Sometimes, people do want to read — they’ve got a book at home sitting on the shelf that they fancy — but can never seem to find the time. Well, my friends, this post is for you.

● 2.

Obviously, to get yourself motivated to read, read something that interests you. Society, animals, philosophy, science, art — whatever you want. If you’re drawn to the book, you’ll be more willing to pick it up and read it.

● Have a goal.

Some people set radical (激进的) goals for themselves like reading one book a week. Obviously, you don’t have to be as radical as that. 3. It’s all up to you. But setting a goal and trying to reach it gives you a focus that’ll help you get the job done.

● 4.

If you’re determined, use every possible moment. On the bus. On the subway. On your lunch break. When you’re at the gym. You won’t regret it, I promise!

● Just start.

Sometimes the thing preventing us from reading is our own mind. Our mind will make up all kinds of excuses not to do something. Not get out of bed. Not clean the house. Not shower. And in this case, not read. The trick to bypassing (避开) this mental block is to just pick up the book and read! 5. Once you start reading, it’s quite difficult to stop!

A.Reading is a pleasure.

B.Have a reading partner.

C.Read whenever you can.

D.Unfortunately, most people don’t read.

E.Don’t pour too much thought into the action. Just do it.

F.When you set a goal, letting yourself down isn’t really a big deal.

G.You can start by reading a book a month, or a book every two months even.

At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents(文件) because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.

It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. “I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down ,” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.

Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.

Does all this mean environmental concerns have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away.

“I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling,” said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity.

The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.

1.What does the underlined phases mean ________.

A．having a pain in my bone　 　　 B. foreseeing something

C．feeling something terrible　　 D．overhearing something

2.Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because ________.

A．people are concerned about the environment

B．printers in many offices are working overtime

C．small companies need more hard copies

D．they see a growing market for printers

3.Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is ________.

A．to encourage printing more quality documents

B．to develop new printers using recycled paper

C．to find new materials for making paper

D．to plant more fast-growing trees

4.What would be the best title for the text ?

A．Computers and Printers

B．E-mail and the Business World

C. Internet Revolution and Environment

D. Modern Technology and New Markets
