　　(2024·山西太原五校檢測(cè))

　　There are many ways of defining success.It is accurate to say that each of us has our own ideas of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily.Because each of us possesses unique differences in

　　genetic

　　ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities，it is necessarily true that we must define success

　　broadly.

　　For some people，simply being able to live their life with

　　the least misery and suffering is considered a success.Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep，enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature，and who is respected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of him and accepted by his family and his society.On the other hand，it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions，many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged by their own standards of success.Because not all ventures can be successful，one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success，but if one has self-cconfidence it would be unfortunate to set one’s goals at a too low level of achievement.

　　A wise man once said to a young man who was experiencing frustration (挫敗) with his own professional success，“You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling.Sometimes one can be very successful merely

　　by taking a walk in the park or riding the subway downtown.” The man added，“You have not really failed and spoiled your chances for success

　　until

　　you

　　have

　　been

　　unsuccessful

　　at something you really like，and to which you have given your best effort.”

　　1．According to the first paragraph，what is implied as basics in achieving success?

　　A．Ability and goals.

　　B．Goals and determination.

　　C．Ability and environments.

　　D．Goals and environments.

　　2．Some rich people consider themselves unsuccessful because________.

　　A．their life is busy and miserable

　　B．they haven’t reached their own standards

　　C．they set their goals at a too low level

　　D．they are not rich in material possessions

　　3．From the last paragraph we can tell that________.

　　A．success means achieving great goals

　　B．success comes from setting great goals

　　C．success means efforts and favorites pay off

　　D．success has nothing to do with the distance of your travel

　　(2024·長沙二模)

　　Handling a wad of cash may be as good at killing pain than ibuprofen (布洛芬) or aspirin，a new study suggests.

　　Researchers at the University of Minnesota carried out a series of studies which showed those who counted money before taking part in an experiment where they were subjected to low levels of pain felt less discomfort than those who did not.

　　It’s thought that fondling notes and coins helps ward off pain by boosting feelings ofself-worth and self-sufficiency.

　　Previous studies have shown those with a greater sense of self-worth may be more likely to bear pain.Britain spends at least ￡500 million a year on over-the-counter painkilling pills and the figure is increasing every year.But scientists remain puzzled by why some people appear to feel pain more easily than others.In the latest study，a group of students were asked to count out a wad of cash consisting of 80 one-hundred dollar bills，or just 80 slips of blank paper.They had been told researchers were simply testing their dexterity (熟練) in handling the notes.

　　Each volunteer was then asked to dip their hands into a bowl of very hot water，to see how painful they found it and how long they could last.The results，published in a recent edition of the journal Psychological Science，showed those who had handled money reported less pain and lasted longer.The results support other studies highlighting how the brain can be tuned to fight off pain without the use of pills.

　　A University of Los Angeles team of scientists found just looking at a photograph of a loved one can also be a powerful form of pain relief.They recommended anyone visiting hospital for painful tests or examinations should bring a picture to help them cope.

　　And patients who have had major surgery，such as a knee or hip replacement，can halve the amount of painkilling medicine they need simply by stroking a pet，according to tests at Loyola University in Chicago.

　　4．Handling money can prevent pain because ________.

　　A．we are confident in our usefulness

　　B．we can afford the expenses of the treatment

　　C．we can do everything with the money

　　D．we can’t live without money

　　5．The phrase “over-the-counter painkilling pills” refer to pills________.

　　A．that can be obtained outside the drug store

　　B．that can be bought without a prescription

　　C．that are placed on the counter of the store

　　D．that are purchased with a written order from a doctor

　　6．Which of the following may least kill pain?

　　A．Counting out a wad of cashes.

　　B．Looking at the picture of a loved one.

　　C．Handling a group of blank paper.

　　D．Walking a pet.

　　7．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?

　　A．Money Makes Something Impossible Possible

　　B．Money Has a Magic Power in Treating Patients

　　C．Money Brings Comfort to Pain Suffers

　　D．Money Kills Pains Better than Aspirin

　　8．We can infer that the passage is________.

　　A．a(chǎn) research report on the role of money

　　B．a(chǎn) kind of medicine instructions

　　C．a(chǎn)n introduction to a new medicine

　　D．a(chǎn) description of natural reaction to a medicine
