    One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to the chirps of birds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo （竹子) trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their upright or original position after the wind had died down.    When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back or return to its original position, the word resilience （恢复力) comes to mind. When used in reference to a person, this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's emotions.    Have you ever felt like you are about to snap （突然折断)？ Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point？ Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it. 　　    During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, mentally exhausted and you most likely endured （忍耐) unpleasant physical symptoms （症状). 　　    Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don't break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you. 　　    If the going gets tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break!

A. he can't forget those bamboo trees B. he used to watch them bend under pressure and return to their upright position C. he still remembers the good days as a child D. he admires the character of the bamboo trees

A. When you have overcome some depression, you show resilience. B. When you are about to snap, we say you are resilient. C. If you feel like you are at your breaking point, you are fortunate. D. If you feel mentally exhausted, you are likely to experience pleasant physical symptoms.

A. You should make the best of the situation. B. You should try your best to get the best situation. C. You should try your best not to be defeated by the situation. D. You should try your best not to give up the best situation.

A. My fondest memories B. Good times and bad times C. Enjoy the peace and quiet D. Bend, but don't break

   Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be simple fact？ Do you argue whether it's cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit？    If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant's trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant's side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal's tusk. The fourth, who got hold of the elephant's tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant's legs. The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant's ears, said it was like a huge fan.    Each man's idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a "simple fact", it's often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.    To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a "simple fact", try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it's hot!

A. The fact that simple facts differ from one another. B. The fact that people have different experience in the same simple fact. C. The fact that people often disagree with one another. D. The fact that it's hard to make up one's mind about simple facts.

A. Around 1℃ B. Above 60℃ C. Around 25℃ D. Below 0℃

A. Newton's law B. Galileo's theory of falling objects C. Einstein's theory of relativity D. Marx's On Capital

A. people often judge something according to his own experience B. people often agree about simple facts C. it's hard for a person to make up his mind about a simple fact D. don't care too much about simple facts

《论语》里有如下记载：
子贡问曰：“乡人皆好之，何如？”子曰：“未可也。”“乡人皆恶之，何如？”子曰：“未可也，不如乡人之善者好之，其不善者恶之。”
这段话的意思是说，子贡问孔子：“一个乡的人都称赞他，这个人怎么样？”孔子说：“还不行。”子贡又说：“一个乡的人都讨厌他，这个人怎么样？”孔子说：“这还不行，最好是一个乡的好人都称赞他，一个乡的坏人都讨厌他。”

    阅读理解。     It is well known that the Japanese people's love of fish is almost as a bee's interest in honey. As fish populations were decreasing, fishing companies were forced to fish further and further away from the shore. Then they had a big challenge－how to keep the fish fresh for longer. So they decided to keep the fish stored in freezers on the boats. But the public did not like frozen fish. So again the fishing companies had a new bigger challenge. What they decided to do was to have fish tanks on their boats. After catching fishes, they would put them in the tanks and keep them living there until they got back to shore. But in this protected environment, lacking predators （掠食者), the fish stopped moving around. The Japanese public felt these dull fish did not taste fresh, which had an unpleasant effect upon sales. Once again the fishing companies had an even bigger challenge.    Stop for a minute! Before we go any further, I would like to ask "What are your challenges？ How do you handle an unexpected challenge？" May I think it this way that you should try to attack your challenges？ Conquer them with a Swiss Army knife. Take the most proper and simple tool that you can adopt to deal with your situation.     Now back to our story. How did the Japanese finally figure out the fresh fish problem？Sharks! You might think the same. Sharks were caught and put into the tanks with other fishes. Don't sharks eat fish？ Well, they do eat a few fish, but they did also keep more fish active alert （警觉的). The fish stay fresh because they are challenged.    Now, try to keep yourself fresh by finding your own shark to offer yourself a challenge in your own business and career.

A. the fish resource near the shore was decreasing B. the fishes farther away from the sea tasted fresher C. people would prefer eating fresh fishes to less fresh ones D. it was getting harder and harder to keep fishes fresh

A. dogs and cats B. monkeys and mosquitoes C. wolves and antelopes D. children and lions 

A. If you went fishing, you might do as the fishing companies did B. Try to find a big shark and you will meet your challenge C. To succeed in life, you should always be ready to meet challenges D. Sharks are usually compared to the challenges in people's life

A. tell the readers "no pains, no gains" B. tell the readers how the Japanese keep the fish fresh C. suggest readers looking for challenges to make progress D. advise readers to find something difficult to do
