Passage One
Question 41 to 44 are based on the following passage.
Your beliefs are very powerful and have the power to create or to destroy your life. In most cases, whatever you believe is what you will become. If you believe that you are a loser, that you never get a breakthrough in life, these things will be your reality. Believe that you are unlimited, that you can do anything you hope to do, and when you do, your accomplishements will know no bounds. You control your beliefs, and that is how you finally control your life.
Many of our beliefs come from our environment, the world we live in on a daily basis. If your environment is limiting your beliefs, then work very hard on changing it. If you are constantly around people who are negative and limiting, find other people to hang out with and get around positive, successful people.
Beliefs also come from past experiences. That is why it is so important to experience success on a regular basis.Set small achievable goals, and then try your best to reach them. When you start to experience success, then you start to believe in success, and that leads to more and bigger successes.
Beliefs come from knowledge. The more you learn, the more things you will know to be possible. Always take the advantage of opportunities to learn something new. It will bring new possibilities into your beliefs and your life.
Most importantly, you can develop new beliefs by setting and visualizing goals for your life. Define your goals clearly. Then in your mind, see yourself achieving them in all of their sensory details. The beliefs formed in this way will lead you to their reality.

Passage Two
Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage.
When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible---- and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health. Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. “ It can help save on the wear and tear on our system,” says Dr. Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good.
So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beatiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don’t wait for an apology. “ Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing.” Says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting a very long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things from the other person’s perspective. You may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear ----even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from that person’s point of view.

Passage Three
Questions 49 to 53 are based on the following passage.
When a consumer finds that an item he bought is faulty or doesn't live up to the manufacture's claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty (保单), or any other helpful records at the store of purchase. If this action doesn’t work, there are various means that may be used to gain satisfaction.
A simple and common method is to complain directly to the store manager. Generally, the “higher up” the consumer takes his complaint, the faster he can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, if he has a just claim.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item. If this cannot be done, he will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements.
The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. He can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting the consumer’s rights.
