专题检测卷(二十九) 阅读理解　第二节 (建议用时: 20分钟) A (2013·兰州模拟) It is never too late to add some new and better practices into your daily life. Here are some wise lessons that I wish I had known when I was younger: Don’t wait until tomorrow. Enjoy every moment of today, because you are not guaranteed a tomorrow. Don’t put off your dreams. 　1　Pay attention to what is happening now to the people around you, to the task at hand and to all of the choices you make today. It’s called work for a reason. 　2　When you hear about an overnight success story, don’t forget about all of the work that came before. You may have to do work you do not enjoy before you get to success. Keep going. 　3　You never know when a former boss, colleague or business partner may come in handy. Try to part on good terms. Friends of all kinds will provide a wealthy resource of ideas and support, as you go forward in life. It’s not a race. You have so much to do and it feels as though you have to be in a hurry to get there. 　4　If you try to do it all at once you will, at best not have time to enjoy it and at worst burn out and damage your health and relationships. Look for the good in everything. Stay positive. Look for the good in people. Celebrate the happy moments. 　5　If you view the world around you and life’s challenges through goodness, then you will find life much more enjoyable. 　A. But in fact, you do not have to do it all at once. B. If it’s important to you, then do it today. C. Slow down and enjoy what is happening today. D. Give helpful encouragement rather than negative criticism. E. Stay away from your former connections. F. Success at anything takes work. G. Don’t burn your bridges. B (2013·冀州模拟) The First Americans There was a time long ago when a land bridge connected Asia and North America. The first settlers in North America crossed this land bridge from what is now Siberia to Alaska. The people who made this initial crossing were probably following the animals they used for food.
