The band that wasn’t

Have you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician? Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music? Do you sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Liu Huan? To be honest, a lot of people attach great importance to becoming rich and famous.      1    

Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play their own music. They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practising their music in someone's house is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may play to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra money for themselves or to pay for their instruments.      2      Of course they hope to make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to become millionaires!

     3      It was called the Monkees and began as a TV show. The musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the Beatles. The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three members of the band.

     4      So during the broadcasts they just pretended to sing. Anyhow their performances were humorous enough to be copied by other groups. They were so popular that their fans formed clubs in order to get more familiar with them. Each week on TV, the Monkees would play and sing songs written by other musicians. However, after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, the Monkees started to play and sing their own songs like a real band. Then they produced their own records and started touring and playing their own music.     5     . The band broke up about 1970, but happily they reunited in the mid-1980s. They produced a new record in 1996, with which they celebrated their formal time as a real band.

A. In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold even more records.

B. The Monkees’ television show stayed on the air for years after the group broke up. .

C. However, there was one band that started in a different way.

D. But just how do people form a band?

E. Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash.

F. Most of us probably have our favorite performers, stars or bands, but many of us also want to discover new sounds and rhythms.

G. As some of these actors could not sing well enough, they had to rely on other musicians to help them.

How do successful people think? What drives them? Interviews and investigations indicate that there are several keys to success that successful people share.

First of all, successful people never blame someone or something outside of themselves for their failure to go ahead. They realize that their future lies in their own hands. They understand that they cannot control things in life, such as nature, the past and other people. But in the meantime, they are well aware that they can control their own thoughts and actions. They take responsibility for their life and regard this as one of the most empowering things they can do. Perhaps what most separates successful people from others is that they live a life “on purpose”---- they are doing what they believe they are put here to do. In their opinion, having a purpose in their life is the most important element that enables them to become fully functioning people. They hold that when they live their life on purpose, their main concern is to do the job right. They love what they do ---- and it shows. People want to do business with them because of their commitment(忠誠(chéng)). To live their life on purpose, successful people find a cause they believe in and create a business around it. Besides, they never easily give up. Once they have set up goals in their life, they are willing to work hard whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Top achievers always bear in mind what they don’t have.

Rather than be negative or depressing, they use the knowledge to spur themselves on and go after what they want energetically and passionately.

46. The underlined word “it ” refers to “____”.

   A. the main concern of successful people

   B. the job that successful people do

   C. the commitment with which successful people do their jobs

   D. the business that successful people do with other people

47. By living a life “on purpose”, successful people can do the following EXCEPT ____.

   A. do a lot of work   

   B. concentrate on their jobs

   C. do business with many people     

   D. control things in life

48. The underlined word “spur ” most probably means “____”.

   A. encourage          B. excite                C. relieve       D. compel

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2012-2013學(xué)年黑龍江雙鴨山一中高一上學(xué)期期中測(cè)試英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Recently, a scientist did some experiments．He left a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy．If they rang the bell, he would come back and they could eat the candy．If, however, they didn't ring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then have two candies.

In videos of the experiment, he can see the children kicking, hiding their eyes--trying to exercise self-control so they can wait and get two candies．The results are different．Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute．Others lasted 15 minutes.

The children who waited longer went on to get higher SAT scores．They got into better colleges and had better adult success．The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to have received worse teacher and parental evaluations （評(píng)價(jià)） 10 years later and were more likely to have drug problems at age 32.

The experiments are worth noting because people spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, how to become rich．But when the result is not good, they will come back to ask "how do we get people to get the sort of self-control that leads to success?" This is to enter the world of human nature.

So these experiments along with everyday experience, tell us that self-control is most important．Young people who can sit through sometimes boring classes to get a degree can work hard in order to learn a language well．They can avoid drugs and alcohol．For people without self-control skills, however, school is a series of failed ordeals（煎熬）．No wonder they drop out and their later life is a group of foolish ideas, such as drug use, stealing and so on.

1.The scientist did some experiments to         .

A．test children's self control and later success

B．test children's intelligence of ringing the bell

C．find good ways of training children to learn

D．prove that children's education is important

2.We can learn from the experiment that        

A．a(chǎn)ll children tried to ring the bell for more candies

B．some children didn't get any candy in the end

C．the children have different self- control

D．the last one to ring the bell is most successful

3.What is the best title for this passage?

A．Ways of self-control training

B．Experiments on children's ringing the bell

C．Higher score, better achievements

D．Self-control is the key to success

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：高二期末英語(yǔ)試題 題型：閱讀理解

Long long ago, there was an old merchant who had three sons. “To which one shall I leave my fortune?” he wondered. “It must be to the cleverest son. But which one is the cleverest?”

     He called his three sons to him. “Here is some money,” he told them, “you must each take one coin to buy something that will fill this room. Anyone who can do this shall have my fortune.”

“It is a big room,” said the eldest son.

“One coin will not buy very much,” said the second son.

     But the youngest son said nothing. He stood and thought, and then he smiled, “Come, brothers,” he said, “l(fā)et us go to the market.”

    The eldest son bought straw with his coin. But one coin bought only a bit of straw. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the straw covered only a corner of the room.

     The second son bought sand with his coin. But one coin bought only a bit of sand. Even when he had spread it as much as he could, the sand covered only half of the floor.

“What did you buy?” the eldest son angrily asked the youngest son. “You don't have any straw.”

    “Yes, what did you buy?” the second son asked angrily. “You don't have any sand.”

    “I bought this,” said the youngest son.

    “A candle！” cried his brothers. “What good is a candle?”

   “Watch”, said the youngest son.

    He lit the candle, and all at once the room was filled from wall to wall, from ceiling to floor. It was filled with light!

     “Although you are the youngest, you are indeed the cleverest of my sons,” the old merchant said.

     And that is how, the old merchant left his fortune to his youngest son, the one who could fill a room with light.

1. Who would get father's fortune?

    A. The oldest son.                B. The richest son.

    C. The cleverest son.             D. The silliest son.

2. The merchant left his fortune to the son

   A. who would fill the room by using something which is worthy of one coin

   B. who would take care of him when he became old

   C. who wanted to get his fortune

   D. who got married first

3. How do you think of the youngest son?

A. He is very clever.               B. He is very lazy.

C. He is very mean.                 D. He is very diligent.

4.  The youngest son used _____ to fill the room.

    A. straw        B. candle         C. sand           D. water
