There lived a happy cobbler (修鞋匠) in a village. He passed his days working
and singing from morning till night. A rich neighbor of his was a banker. One day,
the banker said to him,"How much money a year do you make " The cobbler replied,
"I make enough to make both ends meet." "I am sorry for that. You must be living in
great distress (贫困),"said the banker. "But I am used to such life and I am happy,"
said the cobbler.
The next day, the rich banker came to visit the cobbler again. He came with ten
thousand taka (塔卡,孟加拉国货币单位) in a bag. He said to him, "Look, my friend!
I’ve brought ten thousand taka for you. Keep this money and remove your distress."
The cobbler was greatly surprised. At first he refused to take the money. The banker
told him that he could use the money in times of difficulties. The cobbler took the
bag of money from the banker at last and thanked him. Now a new anxiety (焦虑)
took hold of the cobbler. He said to himself,"Ten thousand taka is a lot of money."
He could not think where to keep the money.
He did not find any safe place to keep the money. He dug a hole in his hut and
kept the money there. But he always thought that his money could be stolen at any
time. This anxiety kept him sleepless at night. He could not even devote himself to
his work. As a result, his life became more miserable. Peace and happiness
disappeared in his life. The cobbler slowly realized that he had money, but no peace

Do you know Zhang Jianna Recently, videos of Zhang helping foreigners have
become really popular on the Internet. Her excellent English has amazed many
people, making them wonder how an ordinary sanitation worker(环卫工人) learned
such amazing English.
The reason behind the success is a ten-year journey of never giving up.
The 49-year-old Zhang is from a rural village in Hebei Province. With only a
high school diploma (毕业文凭 ), she used to work in a restaurant and a store. In
2012, she started working as a sanitation worker in the embassy (大使馆) area of
Sanlitun in Beijing’s Chaoyang District.
One morning, a foreigner walked up to her and spoke some words to her. Zhang
stood there, feeling confused and not knowing how to answer.
The experience touched Zhang deeply and she made up her mind to learn
English. She thought that while clean streets are an important part of the capital
city’s international image (形象), good communication with foreign friends is also
important.
Thus, at the age of 40, Zhang started a personal challenge. She began learning
English from her children’s textbooks by herself, starting with basic words and
phrases used for giving directions.
So far she has mastered around 3,000 English words, which allows her to
communicate with foreigners freely.
( )31. Why is Zhang Jianna very popular on the Internet

A. Because he works hard as a sanitation worker.
B. Because she works in the embassy area of Sanlitun.
C. Because she often sees foreigners where she works.
D. Because she, as a sanitation worker, can speak amazing English.
( )32. How does Zhang Jianna feel when she couldn’t reply to the foreigner
A. Happy B. Sorry C. Strange D. Angry
( )33. Which is the correct order of what happened to Zhang Jianna
a. She decided to learn English.
b. She used to work in a restaurant and a store.
c. She realized it was important to learn English.
d. She began to work as a sanitation worker.
e. She became popular on the Internet.
A. d-a-c-b-e B. b-d-e-c-a C. b-a-d-c-e D. b-d-c-a-e
( )34. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To ask us to work hard at English.
B. To introduce us to a role model.
C. To tell us that we should live and learn.
D. To explain why students should learn English well.
( )35. What can we infer from the passage
A: Never too late to learn.
B. It is very easy for us to learn English well.
C. People from all walks of life need to learn English well.
D. If you want to be a good sanitation worker, you must learn English well.
D
Some losers become winners, while others stay as losers. Why
When people fail, they don’t become losers right away. They become losers as
soon as they look for excuses for their failure. For example, they often tell
themselves about things like“If they’d given me more chances, things would have
been different.”__36__
Actually, the reason why they fail is that they fail to see the failure as a way of
learning and improving themselves. __37__ However, this only reduces your
chances of achieving your dream. What you should do is to keep your dream in
mind and do all you can to make it come true.
First, accept the failure. __38__ But practice makes perfect. Second, realize that
each journey to success will always have good and bad times. There will always be
problems, but the key is to overcome them. __39__ Instead, see each problem as a
chance to learn something new. __40__When there are bad results, step back and
keep your eyes on the future. The reason is that those bad things are usually
followed by wonderful things.

Some losers become winners, while others stay as losers. Why
When people fail, they don’t become losers right away. They become losers as soon as they look for excuses for their failure. For example, they often tell themselves about things like“If they’d given me more chances, things would have been different.”__36__
Actually, the reason why they fail is that they fail to see the failure as a way of learning and improving themselves. __37__ However, this only reduces your chances of achieving your dream. What you should do is to keep your dream in mind and do all you can to make it come true.
First, accept the failure. __38__ But practice makes perfect. Second, realize that each journey to success will always have good and bad times. There will always be problems, but the key is to overcome them. __39__ Instead, see each problem as a chance to learn something new. __40__When there are bad results, step back and keep your eyes on the future. The reason is that those bad things are usually followed by wonderful things.
