Regardless of how many times you may have failed in the past or how lofty (崇高的)
20、 your aims and hopes may be.”This statement is especially powerful because it reminds us that we are the only ones who can be responsible for how far we will go. To reach any personal objective, were usually required to go beyond what is safe.Stepping outside of our comfort zone is probably the most
21、 important step toward experiencing the real change. But consistency (一致性) and continuing to move forward are equally important, as its extremely easy to slip back into old habits without realizing it.

24、 in reality, years can fly by without us having accomplished what we really wanted to. Remember, we wont always have tomorrow to do what we could have done today.

31、peared on computer screens across the country at the same time, on the same day: December 12th, at 12 pm. Simultaneously, importantlooking envelopes containing cards with the same message were handdelivered to the offices of all the major news companies.One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a
32、business reporter at The Post. The card was beautifully designed a black background with the words printed out in crisp white letters. There was no explanation on the back, just a website address. Chris went to the website. Its style was identical to the cards and said: “Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”
33、The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising (从理论上说明) about Anytime. Was it a shopping website like Taobao or Amazon? A joke? Something illegal? Anytimes marketing had worked it had been a household name before it even made a single sale.When the opening came, that day at noo
34、n, the Anytime website suddenly had a single field (字段) that read, “What do you want？” All you had to do was type the words into that box, and then specify how quickly you wanted your item delivered: within one hour, ten hours, or twentyfour hours.Bloggers were the first to test the service. And the
35、ir reviews were glowing (热烈赞扬的). Within weeks, Anytime became a part of daily life. Nobody used other delivery sites or the post anymore as Anytime was much cheaper and faster.Chris still wondered what exactly Anytime was. He tried to find out who owned the company, but it was registered in a small
36、country that did not require such information to be made public. He did find some interesting facts, though. It seemed that anyone who challenged the company met with serious trouble. A government official who was critical of Anytime for avoiding tax was forced to leave his position after news stori
37、es suddenly appeared claiming he was dishonest. The head of another company taking Anytime to court died in a car accident just days before the case was to begin.Chris began making a list of all the people who had something terrible that happened to them after opposing or criticising Anytime. By lun
38、ch, he had more than one hundred examples. Something was definitely wrong. Chris worked on his list the rest of the day, emailing people who could provide more information and looking through newspaper records. After working through the night, exhausted Chris finally fell asleep at his desk at 4 am.
39、When he woke a few hours later, there was a message flashing on his computer screen: “Stop making trouble.” Chris smiled. He had no intention of stopping now that he knew he was on the right track.12What was on the front of the card sent to Chris Lin?AAn invitation to a company opening.BThe website
40、address of a new company.CThe words “Anytime: Starting Tomorrow.”DThe words “Anything you want, anytime you need it.”解析：选D推理判断题。根据文章前两段的内容，尤其是第二段最后一句以及第三段第一句“One found its way to the desk of Chris Lin, a business reporter at The Post”可推知，Chris Lin收到的卡片正面写的是文章开头的那句话“Anything you want, anytime you nee
41、d it.”，故选D。13Why did the company choose to send the cards to many news reporters?ABecause it didnt have enough money for traditional advertising.BBecause it wanted to attract the reporters as customers.CSo that the reporters would write stories about the new company.DSo that people would find the ne
42、w company interesting.解析：选C推理判断题。根据对第三段和第四段的整体理解，尤其是第四段中的“The next day websites and blogs were filled with articles theorising (从理论上说明) about Anytime”和“Anytimes marketing had worked”可推知，这家公司给新闻记者送卡片是想让他们给自己做宣传，故选C。14What did Chriss research suggest about Anytime?AIt may be very dangerous.BIts popula
43、rity would soon decrease.CIt was doing business all over the world.DIt was being widely criticised by journalists.解析：选A推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中的“It seemed that anyone who challenged the company met with serious trouble”和倒数第二段中的第一句并结合尾段第一句可知，凡是质疑这家公司的人，无论是反对还是批评它，都遭遇了大麻烦，而正在对这家公司进行调查的Chris Lin也收到了警告消息；由此可推知，这家
44、公司可能是很危险的，故选A。15How did Chris feel at the end of the story?AScared that he would get into trouble.BConfident that he would find the truth.CNervous about what the company would do.DSatisfied that he had discovered the companys secret.解析：选B推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“He had no intention of stopping now that he k
45、new he was on the right track”和对本段的整理解可知，Chris Lin的调查遭到了对方警告，但他并不打算停止调查，因为他的思路是对的；由此可推知，Chris对找到真相很有信心，故选B。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) Is Your Focus Completely Wrong?Imagine that youre rock climbing and you really want to reach the top.
