It is not exaggerating to say that habits determine how much a person can achieve.

This is due to the magical power that habits have. It can redouble the effort of our

daily behavior.

Take this for example: if you recite one word every day, you will add 365 words to

your vocabulary by one year, and 700 words by two years, and 1400 words before

graduation which is by far beyond the curricular of CET-6. While if you spend two

hours on playing computer games

—

which is far less than how much time is spent in

reality

for

college

students

—

you

will

probably

get

addicted

to

it

and fail your study. This phenomenon can be easily found in the college that it is high

time for us to be aware of the importance of habits. We should cultivate good habits

and

get

rid

of

the

bad

habits

such

as

staying

up

late,

being

addicted

to

games,

consuming extravagantly, etc as soon as possible.

Rome was not built in one day. We can accumulate a great fortune by the tiny efforts

we

made every day. From now on say good bye to the bad habits and stick to the

good ones, we will enjoy a profitable return in the future.

Good habit

result…

Good habits are a valuable thing and a bridge reaching desirable results. Evidently,

good habits

include

teamwork,

optimistic

attitude,

confidence

and

so on.

It

is

well

known that teamwork always leaves us less mean-spirited and more inclusive. Again,

optimistic attitude and confidence can encourage us to never give up and find silver

linings in desperate situations.

Why should we actively cultivate good habits? For one thing, good habits can jump

our trains of thought onto correct tracks, in turn, we can bypass the

wrong path. For another thing, persisting what we are good at and doing even more

of it creates excellence. This is where developing good habits comes in.

As

a

result,

we

should

take

some

effective

steps

to

cultivate

our

good

habits.

For

instance, we can frequently inform young people that opportunities for errors abound,

so we must develop good habits to cope with them. To sum up, we cannot deny it that

good habits do carry a positive connotation.

the

passage

carefully.

Question 47 to 51 are based on the following passage

Highly

proficient

musicianship

is

hard

won.

Although

it’s

often

assumed

musical

ability us inherited, there’s abundant evidence that this isn’t the case. While it seems

that at birth virtually everyone has perfect pitch, the reasons that one child is better

than another are motivation and practice.

Highly musical children were sung to more as infants and more encouraged to join in

song

games

as

kids

than

less

musical

ones,

long

before

any

musical

ability

could

have been evident. Studies of classical musicians prove that the best ones practiced

considerably more from childhood onwards than ordinary orchestral players, and this

is because their parents were at them to put in the hours from a very young age.

The

same

was

true

of

children

selected

for

entry

to

specialist

music

schools,

compared with those who were rejected. The chosen children had parents who had

very actively supervised music lessons and daily practice from young ages, giving up

substantial periods of leisure time to take the children to lessons and concerts.

The

singer

Michael

Jackson

’

s

story,

although

unusually

brutal

and

extreme,

is

illumination when considering musical prodigy(

天才

). Accounts suggest that he was

subjected to cruel beatings and emotional torture ,and that he was humiliated (

羞辱

)

constantly by his father, What sets Jackson’s family apart is that his father used his

reign of terror to train his children as musicians and dancers.

On

top

of

his

extra

ability

Michael

also

had

more

drive.

This

may

have

been

the

result

of

being

the

closest

of

his

brothers

and

sisters

to

his

mother.

“He

seemed

different to me from the other children

—special,”Michael’s mother said of him. S

he

may

not

have

realized

that

treating

her

son

as

special

may

have

been

part

of

the

reason be became like that.

All in all, if you want to bring up a Mozart or Bach, the key factor is how hard you

are prepared to crack the whip. Thankfully, most of us will probably settle for a bit of

fun

on

the

recorder

and

some

ill-executed

pieces

of

music-on

the

piano

from

our

children.

Section B

Directions:There

are

2

passages

in

this

section.

Each

passage

is

followed

by

some

questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked

A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding

letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.

Passage One

Questions 52 to 56 are based pm the following passage.

In

2011,

many

shoppers

chose

to

avoid

the

frantic

crowds

and

do

their

holiday

shopping from the comfort of their computer. Sales at online retailers gained by more

than

15%,

making

it

the

biggest

season

ever.

But

people

are

also

returning

those

purchases at record rates, up 8% from last year.

What went

wrong? Is the lingering

shadow of the global financial crisis

making

it

harder

to

accept

extravagant

indulgences?

Or

that

people

shop

more

impulsively

—

and therefore make bad decisions

—

when online? Both arguments are

plausible. However, there is a third factor: a question of touch. We can love the look

but, in an online environment, we cannot feel the quality of a texture, the shape of the

fit,

the

fall

of

a

fold

or,

for

that

matter,

the

weight

of

an

earring.

And

physically

interacting with an object makes you more committed to your purchase.

When

my

most

recent

book

Brandwashed

was

released,

I

teamed

up

with

a

local

bookstore

to

conduct

an

experiment

about

the

difference

between

the

online

and

offline shopping experience. I carefully instructed a group of volunteers to promote

my book in two different ways. The first was a fairly hands-off approach. Whenever

a customer would inquire about my book, the volunteer would take them over to the

shelf

and

point

to

it.

Out

of

20

such

requests,

six

customers

proceeded

with

the

purchase.

The second option also involved going over to the shelf but, this time, removing the

book and them subtly holding onto it for just an extra moment before placing it in the

customer’s hands. Of the 20 people who were handed the book, 13 ended up buying
