I was coaching girls’ track in Iowa and there was a young discus（鐵餅）thrower on the team with  36  potential（潛力）. Here goes her story.

At the end of our training   37   the district track meet, this discus thrower, Lucy, asked me if she   38   come to the school on Sunday for a little   39   training. I agreed. The year before, she had placed second at the district meet and   40   missed going to the state meet. She had won every discus event,   41   that district meet! And, her throws in the competitions had   42  been between 106’1” and 110’10”.

    Something began to   43  me. Why couldn't Lucy   44  to get the discus to 111 feet? I wondered if it was more a psychological barrier（心理的障礙）  45   a physical one. I decided to try something   46  . I made up my mind to   47   to Lucy.

On Sunday, after her drills, I said, “Why don’t you throw five or six good ones for me to  48  ?” She began to throw again, but   49   were farther than what she had already thrown. But, I didn’t tell Lucy. As I was measuring the   50  one, I pulled out some more tape (量尺) and yelled out to her, “ Come to see this! This one is  51  ! ” It wasn’t. Lucy, thinking that this was a personal best, jumped wildly into the air in  52  .

The next afternoon, at the district meet, Lucy   53   with a personal best throw of 114’10”! Just 24 hours after I had lied to her. However, this time she had   54   thrown the discus four feet further than she had ever thrown it before.

Like fine food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown（成熟的）. Quite the opposite ,just as the cook as to undergo a particular training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose is — schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.
There are still some faraway places in the world where you might find a public scribe（抄寫員）to do your business or social writing for you, for money. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letters writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.
We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to papers. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and reports put into mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figures must be extremely large. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes whatever he writes will be read from first word to last, not just thrown into some “l(fā)etters-to-be-read” files or into the wastepaper basket. This is the reason we make efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.
48. In this passage, good writing is compared to fine food because both______.
A. are enjoyable     B. are easy to learn       
C. are unnecessary to life      D. take a short time to prepare
49. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Writing skills are less important than experience.
B. A good writer should have his own way of writing.
C. A good writer should learn to write the same kind of article.
D. The more efforts one makes, the more money one can earn.
50. The authour thinks that the most important reason for us to practice writing skill is ______.
A. to learn about our life                            B. to attract others to read
C. to do daily reports easily                 D. to become good secretaries
51. The purpose of the author in writing his passage is to ______.
A. comment and blame                       B. introduce and describe
C. explain and persuade                      D. interest and inform

Do’s and Don’ts in Whale(鯨) Watching

       The Department of Fisheries and Oceans has developed guidelines for whale watching in Johnstone Strait, where killer whales are found on a daily basis each summer. It is strongly recommended that vessel(船只) operators follow these guidelines for all kinds of whales.

       · Approach whales from the side, not from the front or the back.

· Approach no closer than 100 metres, then stop the boat but keep the engine on.

· Keep noise levels down — no horns, whistles or racing of engines.

· Start your boat only after the whales are more than 100 metres from your vessel.

· Leave the area slowly, gradually moving faster when you are more than 300 metres from the whales.

· Approach and leave slowly, avoiding sudden changes in speed or direction.

· Avoid disturbing groups of resting whales.

· Keep at low speeds and remain in the same direction if traveling side by side with whales.

· When whales are traveling close to shore, avoid crowding them near the shore or coming between the whales and the shore.

· Limit the time spent with any group of whales to less than 30 minutes at a time when within 100 to 200 metres of whales.

· If there is more than one vessel at the same observation spot, be sure to avoid any boat position that would result in surrounding the whales.

· Work together by communicating with other vessels, and make sure that all operators are aware of the whale watching guidelines.

64. For whom is this text written?

   A. Tour guides.                             B. Whale watchers.       

C. Vessel operators.                            D. Government officials.

65. When leaving the observation areas, the vessel should ______.

   A. move close to the beach             B. increase speed gradually

   C. keep its engine running slowly   D. remain at the back of the whales

66. When going side by side with whales, the vessel should ______.

   A. keep moving in the same direction      B. surround the whales with other boats

   C. travel closer and closer to the shore      D. take a good viewing position

67. What is the shortest safe distance from the whales?

   A. 400 metres.         B. 300 metres.              C. 200 metres.              D. 100 metres.

The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not I.Q., a generally bad predictor of success. Instead, it’s purposeful practice. Top performers spend more hours practising their craft. It you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent, just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town, had the same family background, or shared the same birthday.
This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would hive her some idea of a fascinating circle who might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition, she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. She’s be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.
Then she would practise writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused. By practising in this way, he delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious, newly learned skills into unconscious. Automatically performed skills. By practising slowly, by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback, viewing her performance form the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems—how do I get characters into a room—dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems.
The primary quality our young writer possesses is not some mysterious genius. It’s the ability to develop a purposeful, laborious and boring practice routine; the latest research takes some of the magic out of great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affected by genetics and what we’re “hard-wired” to do. And it’s true that genes play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behaviour.
【小題1】The passage mainly deals with________.
