26、 I found an ad for selling greeting cards in the back of a childrens magazine. I thought to myself I could do this. I begged my mother to let me send for the kit (配件). Two weeks later the kit arrived. The next three hours later, I returned home with no card and a pocket full of money shouting, “Mama
27、, all the people couldnt wait to buy my cards!” A salesperson was born.When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Ziegler. I remember sitting in the dark hall listening to Mr. Ziegler raise everyones spirits up to ceiling. I left there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to
28、the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to make people feel like that.” My father asked me what I meant. “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Ziegler,” I replied.

30、n career. He told me to proceed（进行） and he believed I would succeed.Having made that decision, I was immediately tested. One week after I gave notice, my husband was laid off from his job. We had recently bought a new home and needed both incomes to make the monthly mortgage (抵押) payment and now we
31、were done to no income. I even planned to turn back to my former company, knowing they wanted me to stay but I was certain that if I went back, I would never leave. I decided I still wanted to move forward rather than end up with a mouth full of “if onlys” later on. A motivational speaker was born.W

45、ers Life!) -Many people hate the idea of having to sleep on a plane. But Swedish entrepreneur（企业家）Oscar Dios thinks they can be persuaded otherwise and he has created a new kind of hostel（旅社）to prove it. Dios says it is the worlds first Jumbo jet hostel, an actual jet-plane at Swedens main airport o
46、utside Stockholm which has been changed into a 25-room guesthouse that sleeps as many as 72 people. “I learned about this plane that was standing deserted at Arlanda airport and Ive been trying the concept of hostels in many different houses and buildings,” he told Reuters. “I thought, Why not a pla
47、ne? ” Jumbo Hostels opened for business on Thursday, giving customers the chance to check in and sleep in a room that can best be described as comfortable. “The most challenging part with this project is trying to build something inside a metal hull(外壳)-its just really, really tight.” The jet, which
48、 was originally produced for Singapore Airlines, was taken out of service in 2002. It is held on a concrete（混凝土）foundation with the landing gear（着陆装置）secured in steel cradles. One feature of the hostel is its price-a room starts at 350 Swedish crowns (about $ 41 ), which is a lot less than hotel roo
49、ms outside of major airports. Another feature is that customers can get married on the wing of the plane and stay in the planes more luxurious honeymoon suite (套房). Instead of walking down the aisle（过道）in the church, lovebirds can take what Jumbo Hostels calls the “wing walk,” where they can be join
50、ed in great happiness at the wing tip. The hostel has someone ready to perform the ceremony. But in some respects, this hostel remains a plane-most customers have to share the jets nine bathrooms and the staff only wear air host and hostess clothes. The only room that has its own bath-room is the ho
51、neymoon suite.63. One of the features of the plane hostel is that _. A. customers can sleep in comfortable roomsB. air hostesses can offer good service C. the staff can have a “wing walk”D. a wedding ceremony can be held on the wing64. We can learn from the text that _. A. the hostel lies at Arlanda
52、 airport in Stockholm B. the jet plane was out of use for over six years C. every hostel room is $ 41 per night D. the hostel provides nine bathrooms for customers65. The underlined word tight means _. A. crowded B. tense C. small D. full66. The purpose of the passage is to _. A. introduce a new kin
53、d of hostelB. prove people can sleep on a plane C. describe a wonderful place for weddingsD. call on people to make use of the deserted thingsDHave you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How
54、 can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing. By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by
55、 exercising your “explain power.” Try this experiment. Explain how youll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea how right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation. For example, start with “Ill learn chess,” or “Ill read an article on the mind every week.” Explain how tha
56、t will help. Youll be surprised how often this becomes a workable plan, and if you actually do this, youll have a better understanding of your brain twenty minutes from now. Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes.
57、 You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time youre working on a big project, youll probably have more success. Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. Thats an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a fr
58、iend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and youre half-way there. Writers dont always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often, they write about so
59、mething because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help bring you to an understanding. Give it a try.67. What would be the best title for the text? A. A Way on How to WriteB. Increase Your Brain Power through Writing? C. Brain Power Helps Improve Your WritingD. How to Star
60、t Your Writing68. According to the text, writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPT _.? A. the increase of your brain powerB. the ability to remember? C. the development of your interest in studyD. the better understanding of a topic69. The underlined sentence “youre half-way there” in
61、the fifth paragraph implies that _.? A. you are already successfulB. you still need to work hard? C. writing can help you walk half wayD. writing is important to solve problems70. Whats the main purpose of the writer writing the text? A. To advise readers to start their writing.? B. To explain the i
62、mportance of writing.? C. To persuade readers to become writers.? D.
