Many adults see teens as energetic. Many of us see ourselves as proud. This thinking   21   many adults and us， too， to have the idea that if we cant handle school or   22   life well， were just not trying.

Earlier this school year， I was leaving my class one Friday， when suddenly it   23   like I had pulled a muscle in my back. I knew I was   24   .

After a few days I stopped eating. This meant I lost   25   . The clothes that I bought two weeks earlier began   26   loose. This time my parents got scared.    27   ， I started sleeping less. My eyelids were constantly（时常地）   28   .

I refused to   29   that I was ill. I kept my job working 25 hours a week in a shop; I didnt   30   any classes. When I was hurting， I didnt mind and kept on going.    31   it kills you， it makes you stronger， right？

But now I find myself    32   . Is it worth it？ Im taking the classes and writing for the newspaper because it looks   33   on college applications. And I m working 25 hours a week so that， once I get into my dream school， I can   34   it.

Here I am， already sick from the   35   of work Im doing in and out of school. So， what good is a（n）   36   application if Im badly ill？ What is the   37   of doing this work if I cant enjoy the results？

In fact， by writing my   38   Im telling all the people who   39   much about the future to worry about it now. This is my warning：  Dont climb the   40   dive if you dont like the deep end.

第三部分  阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共10小题;每小题3分，满分30分）

A

Most people only tap（发掘）a small part of their potential. You do what you CAN do， but are you doing what you COULD do？ Most people do what they CAN do， but not what they COULD do. But there is a whole other world of possibilities out there that most of us dont even let ourselves think about them.

The larger question we need to ask ourselves is： Can we reach a greater potential than we have ever imagined？ In fact， if you stop and think about it， what could you do？ I mean if you werent afraid of failing， or if you decided to stop coming up with reasons for not doing something， what COULD you actually accomplish？

As a psychotherapist（心理咨询师）I was always interested in the stories that people told about themselves.

Joey Boring， a stockbroker worked in Edward Jones， was an average performer until he got a vision of what he COULD do. Within two years Joey became one of the top performers. In fact， during the global financial crisis， his performance was up by 43%. Why？ Joey decided not to limit himself. He said， “I realized that I could do more than I had ever thought I could do”， and he did！ During a time that could have easily been the worst financial period in his career， he chose to view it as an opportunity and began to focus his efforts on ways to better serve his existing customers.

A young friend of mine， Ashtyn Van， sprained（扭）her knee pretty badly. As a 14-year-old girl， she decided that she could tell herself that she was strong enough and good enough to do it. That day， she received the highest score at the state level competition. She could do more than she was doing.

I wonder what limits you are putting on yourself today. Perhaps we are only held back by our own limited thinking.

41. According to the author， “to do what you could do” means to do the things that ___ .

A. you have the ability to do B. you are not allowed to do

C. you have managed to do D. you may do successfully but not sure

42. Why do many people cant realize a greater potential？

A. They are realistic. B. They are not good enough to succeed.

C. They tend to find themselves excuses. D. They havent drawn lessons from past failures.

43. But for his idea of what he COULD do， Joey， during the crisis， might have ___ .

A. been more successful B. lost his job

C. suffered losses D. made Edward Jones closed

44. Why does the author give the two examples？

A. To sing the praises of the two.

B. To say the two are really lucky dogs.

C. To advise people to follow the two examples.

D. To prove ones potential is far bigger than he or she can imagine.

45. Which would be the best title for the text？

A. Are you going to take a risk？ B. Are you brave enough？

C. God helps those who help themselves. D. Stop putting limits on yourself.

B
