In 1845, Millet moved to Le Harvre where he painted portraits for several months, before moving back to Paris. It was i
11、n Paris in the middle 1840s that Millet made friends with many famous artists who had great influences on him. Then he gradually revolutionized his painting style and created his own one.This is the most well known of Millets paintings, The Gleaners (拾穗者) , in which poor women are removing the bits
12、of grain left in the fields following the harvest. A warm golden light suggests something holy in this daily scene where the struggle to survive takes place. During his years of studies, Millet thought about how to best tell the sense of repetition and tiredness in the peasants daily lives. Lines tr
13、ace over each womans back to the ground and then back up again and again which means their hard labor. Along the horizon, the setting sun outlines the farm with its plentiful stacks of grain, in contrast to the large shadowy figures in the foreground(前景). The dark dresses of the gleaners cut strong

19、o luck. Im not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances dont come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and thats just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gra
20、dually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practising. To become great at certain things, itll require even more time, time that most people wont put in.This is a big reason why many success
21、ful people advise you to do something you love. If you dont enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put
22、in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.

23、y in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If youre not willing to put in the time and work, dont expect to receive any rewards.

Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in
28、chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users. This obsessional be
29、havior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spend all free time surfing and dont concentrate on homewo
30、rk, so this addiction influences their grades and success at school. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life.They spend more time in front of computers than with their friends. The relation with their fr
31、iends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate themselves from the society and live with their virtual fri
32、ends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life. Although they feel confident on the computer, they are not confident with real life friends they have known all their life. It is a problem for the future.

33、all the world.31 The main idea of the passage is about_.（A）the cause of weboholism（B） the advantage of weboholism（C） the popularity of weboholism（D）the influence of weboholism32 The underlined word “obsessional“ in the second paragraph most probably means “_“.（A）attractive（B） addictive（C） profession

While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only very few. In all
37、the cases of friendly relationship, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy (亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people, we take into account things like age, race, economic condition, soc
38、ial position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of major importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background.Some friendly relationship can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar
39、ideas and beliefs, to have attitudes and interests is commonthey often talk about “being on the same wavelength“. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promi
40、se. Equally, friends have to learn to put up with annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinions.In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that result from shared experie
41、nces and emotions seems to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background and break down barriers of age, class or race.36 In the authors opinions, friends_.（A）are those who get on well with each other（B） are closer than those who just get on well with each other（C） must tolera
