Develping Children’s Persistence (毅力)

peple cllected stnes, painted kind messages and filled tw bxes full f fun and clrful stnes. Then they gave them t the crisis center t hide. The

cmmunity members wh tk time t make them realize they were valued.
Seytn reflects with the grup f vlunteers that the prject is a great way t bring peple tgether psitively in the cmmunity t d smething fr

Recently, I accidentally fund a set f Hanfu l nly wre nce frm the bttm f the cupbard. I remember buying them simply t match the
ancient-style hair accessries (配饰) a friend gave me. It ccurred t me that 1 had been trapped in the “birdcage effect”.
“Birdcage effect” means that when yu get an item ne day, yu will prepare mre things t match it. Weeks ag, I was in the cmpany f friends
engaged in shpping. One said that she wanted t buy a gd writing pen t match the delicate ntebk that her sister gave her, s that she wuld fall
in lve with taking ntes n reading, and thus lve reading, nt just reading. I jked that she must have fallen fr the “birdcage effect”. But the friend
said with a smile: “Why nt use the ‘birdcage effect’ instead?”
Fr the first time, I heard that the “birdcage effect” can be used in reverse (逆向). Hwever, this can’t help but remind me f middle schl, and I
seem t have used the “birdcage effect”. Passing by a bkstre ne day, I purchased a magazine and saw the call fr cntributins published in the
magazine, s I started writing with eager hands, and then I fell in lve with writing.
After shpping with my friends that time, I began t prceed t use the “birdcage effect”. I bught a small fresh tableclth t decrate my desk,
and a beautiful ntebk t recrd my inspiratin. When everything was ready, I started writing again.
But hw can we get rid f the “birdcage effect” in many things, and even use the “birdcage effect” in the ppsite way? Varius “birdcages”
unavidably appear in life, but we can distinguish them. If it is nt in line with the actual situatin, it is a “negative birdcage”, then we must learn t
stp lsses in time and maintain a heart f abandnment and separatin. If it is a “psitive birdcage” that mtivates us t develp upward, we can
clarify ur gals, shp r decrate apprpriately, and mtivate urselves t mve twards ur gals. At this time, yu will find that the “birdcage
effect” is actually nt s terrible!
【小题1】What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A．The applicatin f the “birdcage effect” in life.
B．The necessity f using the “birdcage effect” in life.
C．The turning pint f the authr’s idea n the “birdcage effect”.
D．The authr’s cnflict with her friend ver the “birdcage effect”.
【小题2】What is the authr’s purpse in mentining her middle schl experience?
A．T recall her delightful days at schl.
B．T explain the reasn fr her lve with writing.

C．T cnfirm the psitive f the “birdcage effect”.
D．T prve her knwledge f the “birdcage effect”.
【小题3】Hw can we make use f the “birdcage effect” psitively?
A．By realizing this effect has tw sides.
B．By prmting ur persnal cnsumptin.
C．By recgnizing this effect is nt s terrible.
D．By guiding ur acts t g with reasnable gals.
【小题4】What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A．Getting Rid f the Birdcage Effect Cnfidently
B．Mtivating Ourselves t Mve Twards Our Gals
C．The Birdcage Effect: Influence n Cnsumer Behavir
D．The Birdcage Effect: Hw t Use It t Yur Advantage
Desire fr success is a basic human nature. But hurdles are bund t cme up n the way t success, discuraging yu frm yur gal.
【小题
1】
Here are sme ways that may help yu t be diligent and write yur wn success stry.
First f all, having a clear visin is essential t be diligent in life. If yu are nt clear abut what yu want t achieve in life, yu will lse directin,
mtivatin and enthusiasm in life. 【小题2】 S if yu want t gain diligence, yu shuld make an effrt t define yur visin.
【小题3】
Prper planning enables us t turn mst f the gals int reality withut regrets in later part f life. Having a plan in advance,
thugh, des nt mean that yu have t plan frm start t finish. It means yu shuld knw in which directin yu are heading.
Mrever, excuses are nt ging t keep yu away frm regrets in yur later life. If yu delay diligence because f yur family respnsibility, it simply
means yur gals are nt in yur pririty list, which is why excuses are cming.

八、书面表达
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In 1989, fresh ut f high schl, I had the difficult task f chsing a career path befre cllege started in three mnths. In thse days in Pakistan,
there were limited ptins (选择): becming a dctr r an engineer, r entering the financial wrld after getting a business degree. I wasn’t interested
in engineering, s I was left with medicine r business. I culdn’t decide.

My uncle, an influential persn in the family, suggested that I d a wrk placement t experience it fr a mnth in an internatinal cmpany
fllwed by a mnth in a hspital. After that, I culd make a decisin.
It seemed like a brilliant idea. I was accepted fr a mnth’s placement at a freign bank in Karachi. I gt a feel fr hw the wrld f finance
functined, made new friends, and generally enjyed the mstly easy-ging wrk surrundings.
The mnth passed rapidly, and sn I began wrking at a leading hspital in Karachi. The experience culdn’t have been mre different. The
hspital had an intense (紧张的) envirnment. The days started early (at 7 am, cmpared t 9 am at the bank), and were heavy with endless duties. And
the night calls! This was crazy, wrking all day, thrugh the night, and again the next day.
I began thinking abut my tw experiences. The bank had ffered a mre relaxing atmsphere (氛围), better wrking hurs and less stress. The
hspital was full f excitement and unpredictability, but the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that the business ptin was ging t win ut.
Near the end f my mnth at the hspital, I was driving hme after an especially busy night call. In frnt f me was a public bus, with cllege
students sitting n the tp. As the driver weaved thrugh (穿梭) traffic, I culd see the bys shaking frm side t side.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Suddenly, a by fell ff the back f the bus.

The next day, when I went t hspital t see the by, all his family gt up, with grateful smiles n their faces.
