It means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own life. Look at the word responsibility: ability to choose your response, response-ability. Effective people are proactive because they take responsibility. Their behavior is a product of their own decisions, based on values, rather than being a product of their own conditions, based on feelings. For instance, you are planning a picnic with your family. You｀re excited. You have all the preparations, You've decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your plan. Proactive people carry weather within them. They realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if it's in their own basement with some special games, and make the best of that situation. The opposite of being proactive is to be reactive. Reactive people would say, “What's the use?””We can't do anything.” “Oh this is so upsetting after all of our preparations and arrangements.” They try to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled. Being proactive is really just being true to your human nature. Your basic nature is to act, and not to be acted upon. That's true, despite widely accepted theories of determinism used to explain human nature. Determinism says that you don't really choose anything and that what you call choices are nothing more than automatic responses to outside conditions. The language of reactive people is lie:”I can't .” “Don't have time.”” I have to .” I must.” The whole spirit of that language is the transfer of responsibility. They think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or by their conditioning or their genetic makeup. Psychologically, people who believe they are determined will produce the evidence to support the belief, and they increasingly feel victimized and out of control. They're not in charge of their life at all. On the contrary, a proactive person exercises free will, the freedom to choose the response that best applies to his values. In that way, he gains control over the circumstances, rather than being controlled by them. 1. According to the passage, a proactive person's behavior can result from . A. The environment B. an inner belief 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 2 C. the genetic makeup D. a temporary feeling 2. When a picnic plan is threatened by a sudden storm, reactive people will probably . A. have the picnic as planned B. make the best of the picnic C. complain and give up the picnic D. find somewhere else for the picnic 3. What does” carry weather within them” in the second paragraph probably mean? A. Manage to improve the weather. B. Give in to the weather passively. C. Stress the influence of the weather. D. Find a solution to the weather problems. 4. It can be concluded from the passage that determinists(宿命论者) . A. accept things passively B. are in charge of themselves C. are similar to proactive people D. respond to outside conditions actively 语篇解读 本文主要介绍了积极的人和消极的的之间的区别，例如在遇到天气不好野餐计划搁浅的时候， 积极的人会想办法进行野餐，而消极的人却由周围的环境左右其决定。 1. B 细节理解题。根据第三段 Being proactive is really just being true to your human nature. You basic nature is to act, and not to be acted upon. 可知，积极主动是按照天性来做最真正的自己。 人的本性是行动，而不是任人摆布。可知一个积极的人，他的行动源于他的内心和本性。故选 B。 2. C 细节理解题。根据第二段 They try to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled. 可知，消极的人会试图说服他们周围的人并最后取消野餐。 3. D 推理判断题。根据下文 They realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if it's in their own basement with some special games 可知，当环境不 得于计划的时候，积极的人会创造性的想出解决方法，达到目的。 4. A 推理判断题。 根据第四段 They think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or by their conditioning or their genetic makeup. 可知，消极的人认为事情是由环境 决定的。又根据第二段野餐的例子可知，消极的人在面对计划不得不改变时，他们会抱怨但接受现实，而 不会想办法去创造机会实现目标。 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 2016 高考训练题----阅读理解。 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 Italians were reminded to slow down and relax on World Slow Day, an annual event celebrating life's simple pleasures. "Let's take this day to stop and think about all the things we miss while we're rushing through our lives," said Bruno Contigiani, the President of the Art of Living Slowly Association. Contigiani, 62, a one-time high-powered manager, is now an ambassador for the slow life movement around the world. He started the first World Slow Day in 2007 to encourage the values of living and working at a more natural pace, and to make people rethink their daily lifestyle. Contigiani's association suggests "14 commandments (诫条) " for living better, such as waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast without rushing. Others include walking whenever possible, and reading in the evenings instead of watching television. This year, Contigiani left Italy where the event has spread around the country for Shanghai, one of the fastest moving cities in the world. The slow-living supporter said he wandered around the busiest streets of the commercial center for an entire afternoon, inviting people to "slow down". "Among the ‘14 commandments’, the one about waking up five minutes earlier was the most popular by far, " Contigiani said. Back in Italy, the now well-known event hosts a lot of activities, such as reminding people to stop and smell the roses. In central Milan you would probably be fined if you walk too fast. In parks and public spaces, free yoga and Tai Chi (太极拳) lessons are important parts of the events. Italian farmers' union noted that Italians spent less and less time preparing meals, a habit connected to rising levels of obesity（肥胖）. Therefore, the group said World Slow Day was a good opportunity to remind Italians to take extra time at meals in particular. World Slow Day is by now an international event. A total of 90 “Slow Cities" in 11 countries inspired by the “live well" philosophy are supporting the day. 9. What's the best title of the text? A. Slow Life Supporters B. Lifestyle of Italy C. World Slow Day D. Living Well 10. World Slow Day is intended to . 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 A. tell people to walk slowly B. encourage people to enjoy pleasant things C. advise people to adjust to modern lifestyle D. remind people to live and work at a natural pace 11. Which of the following goes against the "commandments"? A. Walking whenever possible. B. Slowing down to smell flowers. C. Watching TV in the evenings instead of reading. D. Waking up five minutes earlier to enjoy breakfast. 12. In which section of a newspaper is the text probably put? A. Advertisement. B. Culture. C. Business. D. Entertainment. 参考答案 9-12 CDCB 2016 高考训练题----阅读理解。 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 Scientists fear rising energy bills may lead to an increase in obesity （肥胖） after discovering a link between poorly-heated homes and higher body -fat． Researchers from the University of Stirling’s Behavioural Science Centre set out to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have contributed to rising obesity levels in winter．Instead, the team found that people who live in well-heated homes are more likely to have low body mass index （体重指数） levels while those who keep their heating turned down or off tend to be heavier． Dr Michael Daly, behavioral scientist and senior lecturer, said: "We set out to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us maintain a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to use up more energy. In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and burn more energy when in a warmer indoor environment． The 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, involved more than 100,000 adults across England． Researchers found reduced weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23°C （73F）, which involved about 15,000 of the households studied． 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 5 Dr Daly said: "As national gas bills continue to rise faster than the rate of inflation, this research suggests the obesity could worsen where heating is turned down below comfortable levels or off for long periods to cut costs．" This is not just about people who live in well-heated homes being in the financial position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities, and therefore finding it easier to maintain a low BMI level．The study took age, sex, social class and other factors into account． "The comfortable temperature of 20°C -23°C is where we feel comfortable in our clothes and are neither hot nor cold．At temperatures above this, we use more energy and we eat less because our appetite is affected．" 13. The findings of the research can be described as ___． A．horrible B．surprising C．funny D．encouraging According to the passage, with rising gas bills, people may turn down or off their heating to______. A．stay in shape B．maintain a low BMI level C．save money D．avoid eating more 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．Obesity links to poorly-heated homes B．Well-heated home's contribute to obesity C．Obesity--- A weighty problem in England D．Rising energy bills help maintain a healthy weight 参考答案 13-15 BCA 2016 高考英语训练--阅读理解。 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 Suleman Dawood School of Business "Become a part of the community dedicated to excellence and knowledge creation." 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 Lahore University of Management Science is a premier institution known for its academy excellence.
