Questions下列各are based on the following passage. How many times have you heard the expression that most people spend more time planning their vacation than they do planning their lives? .I would 36 that expression by adding that most people spend more time "thinking" about their vacation than they do thinking about whats important in their life. While rest and relaxation are a must in living a 37 life, its not what we were created to do. After all, the Master Creator took his R&R (Rest and Recreation) on the seventh day, only after six days of "definitely directed thought". Wallace D. Wattles wrote, "There is no labor from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and 38 thought; it is the hardest work in the world. " And yet it is the first and primary labor of 39 My friend Mike Lit man wrote an outstanding article for his ezine (电子杂志) this week. Its called"The Millionaire Composite (合成物)" and it 40 one of the big differences between super successful people and everyone else. He writes, "I recently visited with a Real Estate Multi Millionaire Mogul (大人物). What did I see next to his desk? His vision statement, along with a list of what he values in life-hand written. " "A few months back, I interviewed an individual who has sold over a billion dollars worth of products on television. He told me that he reads his life and business vision and goals dally, and that he TAKES TIME to 41 exactly what he wants to create--EACH NIGHT before falling asleep. " What is your lifes purpose or your personal mission statement? Is it written down? Do you review it and think about it often? Is your life organized around your purpose and a set of goals that support that purpose? Without purpose and goals--defmitely directed thought--you are like the 42"ship without a rudder (舵) , 1here is power m your purpose and in your goals. It is the power that takes you over obstacles, the fuel that 43. you toward the life you envision. One of my favorite passages of James Allen is one he wrote in "The Mastery of Destiny" :"All successful people are people of purpose. They hold 44 to an idea, a project, a plan, and will not let it go; they cherish it, brood upon it, tend and develop it; and when assailed by difficulties, they refuse to be beguiled into surrender; indeed, the intensity of the purpose increases with the growing 45 of the obstacles encountered.

At dawn on September 5th, 1972 a band of “Black September” Arab guerrillas broke into the Israeli building in the Olympic village near Munich where 10,000 athletes were staying. Over 250 plain clothes police had been brought into the village, following a tip off of trouble ahead, but none of them saw the Arabs scale the fence. They burst into the Israeli building with submachine guns blazing at 5:10 am. Some Israeli athletes escaped through the windows and side doors. Nine were taken hostage.

It was one of those days that the peasant fishermen on this tributary of the Amazon River dream about.
With water levels falling rapidly at the peak of the dry season, a giant school of bass, a tasty fish that fetches a good price at markets, was swimming right into the nets being cast from a dozen small canoes here.
"With a bit of luck, you can make $350 on a day like this," Lauro Souza Almeida, a leader of the local fishermen's cooperative, exulted as he moved into position. "That is a fortune for people like us," he said, the equivalent of four months at the minimum wage earned by those fortunate enough to find work.
But hovering nearby was a large commercial fishing vessel, a "mother boat" equipped with large ice chests for storage and hauling more than a dozen smaller craft. The crew on board was just waiting for the remainder of the fish to move into the river' s main channel, where they intended to scoop up as many as they could with their efficient gill nets.
A symbol of abundance to the rest of the world, the Amazon is experiencing a crisis of overfishing. As stocks of the most popular species diminish to worrisome levels, tensions are growing between subsistence fishermen and their commercial rivals, who are eager to enrich their bottom line and satisfy the growing appetite for fish of city-dwellers in Brazil and abroad.
In response, peasants up and down the Amazon, here in Brazil and in neighboring countries like Peru, are forming cooperatives to control fish catches and restock their rivers and lakes. But that effort, increasingly successful, has only encouraged the commercial fishing operations, as well as some of the peasants' less disciplined neighbors, to step up their depredations.
"The industrial fishing boats, the big 20-to 30-ton vessels, they have a different mentality than us artisanal fishermen, who have learned to take the protection of the environment into account," said the president of the local fishermen's union. "They want to sweep everything up with their dragnets and then move on, benefiting from our work and sacrifice and leaving us with nothing."
