In our life, we should often be ready for change that will help us unlock(释放) our self-improvement power. However, we don’t always understand it. We think of unlocking our self-improvement power only when everything gets worst.
When do we realize(意识到) that we need to change diets When none of our shirts and jeans would fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates When all of our teeth have fallen off.
Most of us will learn about unlocking our self-improvement power only when the whole world falls apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change. However, change becomes more painful when we pay no attention to it.
Change will happen, like it or hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power, not because the world says so, but because we realize it’s good for ourselves.
Happy people don’t just accept change; they welcome it. Unlocking ourself-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.
Jane always tells everyone that she is afraid of being around groups of people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!
If we look at things in a different way, we might have greater fun. Doing exercise three times a week would lead to a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying the whole process(过程) of unlocking our self-improvement power, will we realize that we can take things light and become happy.
What’s the writing purpose of Paragraph 1
A. To tell a story.
B. To solve a problem.
C. To give an example.
D. To introduce a topic.
53. What advice might be given to help solve Jane’s problem
A. Always believe in herself.
B. Get on with people in a friendly way.
C. Unlock herself out of the box of thought.
D. Count the days until she is fully improved.
54. We should put the following sentence at the end of ________
We see the warning signs when things get difficult.
A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5
55. Which would be the best title for the passage
A. Is It Important to Take Things Light
B. Is It Necessary to Believe in Yourselves
C. To Hold on to The Last Moment or to Give Up
D. To Unlock Ourselves out of the Box of Thought or to Stay in It

Dear Kevin
I am glad to hear from you.
Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles. I like this saying very much. I have a habit of reading books. I often read books in the libraries or bookshops. I like history books best, because it can bring me back to the past and help me experience different cultures in different times.

It was amazing to see so many wonderful buildings. I learnt a lot about the history of Ming and Qing Dynasty. It has opened up a whole new world to me.
I hope you can come to China some day. I am looking forward to showing you around my hometown.
Yours truly
