“First we make our habits，then our habits make us.”——Charles C．Noble
　　It’s such a simple concept，yet it's something we don’t always do. It’s not extremely difficult to do, and yet I think it’s something that would make a world of difference in anyone’s life. Break your goals into habits，and focus on putting those habits into autopilot. My belief is that having one goal to focus on is much more powerful than having many goals.
　　I try to turn my goals into habits，and in doing so，I put my goals on autopilot. Turning a goal into a habit means really focusing on it，seriously，for at least a month，to the exclusion of all else. The more you can focus on it, the more it’ll be put on autopilot. Let’s look at my marathon goal as an example. I was just starting out in running，and l had the brilliant idea to run a marathon within a year. But in order to achieve that goal，I broke it down into two habits：
　　1．I had to make running a daily habit.
　　2．I had to report to people in order to have accountability（責(zé)任）—I did this through family，friends and coworkers，through a blog，and through a column in my local newspaper every two weeks. With this accountability，there’s no way l would stop running.
　　The accountability habit took a couple of months，mainly because I didn’t focus on it too much while l was building the running habit. But it stuck，and for that first year of running，I would report to people I knew and blog about my running every day and I would write a column every two weeks for my local paper.
　　Once those two habits were firmly fixed，my marathon goal was pretty much on autopilot. I still had to do the work，of course，but it didn’t require constant focus. And eventually，I ran the marathon. I was able to achieve this because，all year long，I had the daily running habit and daily accountability habit. I put my marathon goal into autopilot，and that made it much easier--instead of struggling with it daily for an entire year，I focused on it for one month and was able to accomplish it while focusing on new habits and goals.
55．According to the passage，we can see the key to forming a habit is ______________.
A．to break the goals into habits
B．to report to other people about your plan
C．to set a reasonable goal first
D．to focus on the habit as much as possible
56．The author told people about his running in order to ______________.
A．get more support
B．a(chǎn)sk for their opinions
C．carry out his plan better
D．earn more admiration
57．What do we know about the author？
A．He was a local athlete.
B．He often gave people advice.
C．He had no blogs before.
D．He wrote for a local newspaper.
58．The passage is mainly about ______________.
A．goals and habits
B．how to turn your goals into habits
C．habits and achievements
D．how to make running a good habit

United States President George W. Bush yesterday expressed doubt on efforts by United Nations arms inspectors(調(diào)查人員)to get detailed information from Iraqi scientists, adding the presence of Iraqi officials as a reason for it. A US official said any interference (干涉、干擾) by Iraq with the interview would be another sign that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was failing to meet UN disarmament(解除武裝) demands. “The inspectors are there to decide whether or not he is disarming. You hear these reports about Iraqi scientists being interviewed, but there's an official in the room.” Bush told reporters during a tour of his Texas farm. Bush had been asked whether he was satisfied with the UN inspectors' attempts to interview Iraqi scientists. Bush's answer included broad criticism (批評(píng)) of Saddam and a warning that a war was near. “He is a man who likes to play games and jokes. The question is, will Saddam Hussein disarm?” Bush said. “The first sign isn't very satisfactory that he will voluntarily disarm.”Bush talked of Iraq's declaration on its arms, which he called “false”, as well as the scientist interviews. “He's got to understand his day is coming,” Bush said of Saddam. Bush spoke as more than 11,000 US soldiers prepared to head for the Gulf to join in US preparations for a possible invasion (入侵) of Iraq to force an end to any programmes Saddam has to make nuclear biological or chemical weapons(武器). The news came the same day as warplanes dropped 480,000 leaflets(傳單) over two cities in a so called no - fly area of southern Iraq on Thursday, pressing Iraqi army and citizens to listen to US special - forces radio broadcasts to the area, the US armed forces said.

1．What didn't President Bush talk about according to this news report?

[　　]

A．The interview with Iraqi scientists.

B．The warning towards Iraq.

C．The doubt about Saddam's disarmament.

D．Sending 480,000 soldiers to Iraq.

2．Why didn't Bush believe what the Iraqi scientists said during the interviews?

[　　]

A．Because the scientists wouldn't like to tell the truth.　　　　　　　　　　

B．Because Bush never believed anythi g the scientists said.

C．Because Iraqi officials were watching them during the interviews.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

D．Because Saddam asked them to tell lies during the interviews.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

3．Which of the following statements is true?

[　　]

A．The farm owned by Bush is in Califor nia.

B．11,000 US soldiers haven't got to the Middle East.

C．The no - fly zone is in the northern part of Iraq.

D．Bush thinks Saddam will disarm of himself.

閱讀下面短文，從A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳答案。

　　In 1954 a turning point in medical history, resulting from applied bionics; was the first “open heart” surgery done in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by Dr. W. Lillehei's techniques for the first time allowed the patient to be operated on while blood was supplied to the patient from a donor. Today “open heart” surgery, using more complicated methods and bionic devices, is common in the United States.

　　Important technological advances such as those already mentioned have encouraged scientists to develop the artificial heart. Early in 1983, in its first use by a human patient, a medical team at the University of Utah Medical Center replaced the diseased heart by a Jarvik-7.

　　The world watched amazed as television pictures of Dr. Clark showed him as he improved steadily after the surgery. His continued life demonstrated, that a bionic device could imitate the action and function of a healthy heart. Dr. Clark lived for 112 days.

　　Life-like or bionic machines have existed for several centuries. The development of tools by man's ancestors is a good example of the application of bionics to extend human capabilities. Modern bionic research is especially involved in prosthetics devices that substitute for, or replace lost or diseased body parts such as arms, legs, and eyes.

　　Recent advances in electronics have enabled scientists to make better use of electrical impulses in the control of prosthetic devices. One interesting research project is the development of an artificial eye in which video signals are transformed into fight patterns that are sent into nerve receptors in the patient.

　　The future for applied bionics seems to be promising. Existing bionic devices will become smaller, faster, and more effective. The artificial heart used for Dr. Clark is only one of experimental replacement devices. It is likely to be joined in the future by replacements for other internal systems or organs.

　　Bionic livers, stomachs, and lungs are not impossibilities!

1．Which of the following does this passage mainly discuss?

[　　]

A．The application of bionics.

B．The first “open heart” surgery.

C．The development of the artificial heart.

D．The future of applied bionics.

2．According to the passage, it was Dr. C. W. Lillehei that ________.

[　　]

A．first developed applied bionics

B．was the first to operate on the heart of a patient

C．developed the artificial heart

D．used more sophisticated methods to do “open heart” surgery

3．By “Dr. Clark lived for 112 days”, the author most probably means that ________.

[　　]

A．the replacement of Dr. Clark's heart was a failure

B．there was still a long way to go in applied bionics

C．a(chǎn)pplied bionics was promising

D．the first artificial heart was most effective

4．The control of artificial devices is improving because ________.

[　　]

A．video signals can be transformed into light patterns

B．bionic machines have existed for centuries

C．a(chǎn)rtificial devices such as arms, legs and eyes require better control than bionic machines

D．science has made great advances in electronics

5．The author's attitude towards applied bionics is ________.

[　　]

A．critical
B．a(chǎn)pproving
C．objective
D．questioning
