24、ething. “Go for it!“ means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a chance, be brave, and act firmly. “Go for it !“ gets its name from football. Not football as it is played in most countries such as England, Egypt or Japan, but the kind of football played in the Unite
25、d States and Canada. One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three attempts, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a critical decision. The conservative (保守 ) choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat in order to gain a good positi
26、on for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more exciting choice, however, is to try a fourth and final time to gain the remaining yards needed. People present are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout: “Kick the ball!“ But others will encourage the team to take a chance. “Go for i
27、t!“ they will scream. In the 1980s, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to act bravely. There is no guarantee (保证 ) that the action you “go for it“ will succeed. But that is the chance you take when you decide to go for it. You put your fears behind. Y
28、ou choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it. 56 The expression “Go for it!“ comes from _. （ A） English football （ B） Egyptian football （ C） Japanese football （ D） American football 57 According to the passage, when we decide to go for it, we only consider _. （ A） safety （ B） ac

30、make a0 choice between success and failure. 59 Why havent I left yet? Everyone seems to be asking me this question now. Clearly their having to say goodbye as if its the last time theyre ever going to see me is beginning to wear out my friends. Some of the more unfortunate must have said goodbye at
31、least three or four times. Much to everyones delight, i will be setting off this Saturday, but getting all the necessary visas (签证 ) for the journey has been far from quick, cheap or straightforward. Getting a Chinese visa was easy enough. The Mongolian embassy (大使馆 ) seemed a bit unprepared for me,
32、 or in fact any other tourist, wanting to visit the country in winter and it took half an hour of knocking at the door before 1 got an answer. The Mongolian visa, however, has a map of the country in the background that should come in handy if I get lost out on the grassland. It was getting a Russia
33、n visa that had me wondering if Id ever be able to leave. The requirements for the visa, especially for the trip that I plan to take, were a mountain of paperwork. I was required to prove, for example, where and when I plan on staying in each city and what train I plan to catch between cities. Ive s
34、pent a lot of time preparing for this trip, but I still have no idea what to expect on this journey. The planning and packing has taken my mind off any worries I have so now everything is ready and I just want to get going. Im sure I will see some interesting people and see some wonderful sights, an
35、d the sense of the unknown makes it all the more exciting. 59 How do the writers friends feel about the delay of his trip? （ A） Grateful. （ B） Impatient. （ C） Delighted. （ D） Worried. 60 What made the writer start doubting the possibility of the trip? （ A） Getting a Russian visa. （ B） The cold winte
36、r in Mongolia. （ C） Inconvenient transport. （ D） Poor living conditions. 61 The phrase “come in handy“ ( line 4, para. 2 ) probably means _. （ A） be useful when needed （ B） be written by hand （ C） be held in hand （ D） be easy to carry 62 How does the writer feel about the trip he is going to take? （
37、 A） Curious and eager. （ B） Patient and encouraged. （ C） Worried but proud. （ D） Tired but hopeful. 63 Like all other mothers who have small children, I, too, have to steal time from my own children at home and from the children who know me as their teacher just to put a few words down on paper. Man
38、y times Ive wanted to write for myself, for other women, for my parents, for my husband, and especially for my children. I would have liked to leave a legacy (遗产 ) of words explaining what it has meant to have twins (双胞胎 ). One reason there is not a great deal written about being a mother of a new b
39、aby is that there is seldom a moment to think of anything else but the babys needs. With twins, I did not have a spare hand to write with. Before my twins were born, my days were long and I had nothing to write about. After the twins birth I did have something to write about, but I found myself faci
40、ng not a pen and paper but milk bottles. Some nights, friends would visit. They would leave at 11 p. m. , heading for bed, and for us the night was only just beginning. With twins, there is really no night. Each feeding lasts a long time. At 1:00 a. m. , each of them would begin crying from hunger.
41、At 4: 00 a. m. , when I finally put them down, I head for the kitchen and light a cigarette. I havent smoked in almost a year, but I feel Ive never needed it more. Im so sleepy and so fired that I dont care. Two years have passed since then and weve managed to live through it all. My days are still
42、very full and even now there isnt one evening when I put the twins down for the night that I dont breathe a sigh of relief (松口气 ). At last a little time for myself. 63 What does the writer mainly write about? （ A） Her role as a wife. （ B） Her work as a writer. （ C） Her role as a teacher. （ D） Her ex
43、perience as a mother. 64 When did she have time but nothing to write about? （ A） Before the birth of her twins. （ B） When she faced bottles of milk. （ C） After her friends visit to her home. （ D） When she had to think about the babies needs. 65 When the writer says “I dont care“ (paragraph 4 ), she
44、means that she doesnt care about_. （ A） her babies any more （ B） the time to go to bed （ C） the writing of her book （ D） the possible effects of smoking 66 Even when the twins were two years old, the only time the writer could find for herself was_. （ A） when her babies were asleep （ B） when the fee
45、ding was over （ C） when her friends left （ D） when evening began 67 Good table manners are back Candlelight bathes the restaurant guests in a friendly light, the menu is about to be served. Some guests are prepared to eat while others are looking around with nervous glances. Which knives and forks s
46、hould be used first, and where should you put the napkin (餐巾 ) ? For a while table manners were “out“. Now men and women aged 30 or so are rediscovering the finer points of being polite. Good manners give a pleasant impression (印象 ). But how do you eat “properly“ ? The golden rule is to act silently
47、. You should not talk to someone with your mouth full. When eating a five-course meal a frequent event during the holiday season guests neednt feel frightened by the variety of knives and spoons before them: you work your way towards the plate from the outside. Uncertain situations often can be mast
48、ered with common sense. For example, many unknown salad (沙拉 ) greens can be difficult to tell from one another, but you can cut them all with a knife. The napkin remains subject special care. The correct way is to fold it in half and lay it on your lap (膝上 ). If you leave your place, you should alwa
49、ys place your napkin next to the plate. After the meal is over, both cloth and paper napkins are folded and not thrown onto the plate. The proper table manners also can serve professional advancement. If a choice has to be made among several people for an important position, the employer may choose to lunch with them. Those who make noise with their lips certainly wont stand a chance. 67 How would you understand “table mann
