III、完形填空（共20小题，每小题1分，共20分）

You’ve heard the expression, “What you see is what you get.” My grandfather used to say: “If you looked at a tree long enough, it would move.” We see what we want to see. Psychologists tell us that 36 controls our lives more than our self-image. We live like the person we see in the 37 . We are what we think we are. 38 you don’t think you’ll be successful, you won’t. You can’t be it if you can’t see it. Your life is 39 your vision（视野）. If you want to change your life, you must change your vision of your life.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was not 40 famous in 1976 when he met with a newspaper reporter. The reporter asked Schwarzenegger, “Now that you’ve 41 from bodybuilding, what do you plan to do next?” Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and 42 : “I’m going to be the best movie star in Hollywood.” The reporter was 43 and amused at Schwarzenegger’s plan. At that time, it was very hard to 44 how this muscle-bound bodybuilder, who was not a 45 actor and who spoke poor English 46 a strong Austrian accent, could ever hope to be Hollywood’s movie star!

So the reporter asked Schwarzenegger how he planned to make his dream come true. Schwarzenegger said, “I’ll do it the same way I became the best 47 in the world. What I do was to 48 a vision of who I want to be, and 49 I start living like that person in my mind 50 it were already true.” Sounds almost childishly simple, doesn’t it? But it 51 ! Schwarzenegger did become the first class highest 52 movie star in Hollywood!

Remember: “If you can see it, you can be it.” A successful businessman I know wears a shirt with these words on it: “Don’t just pursue(追求) your 53 . Chase them down and tackle them!” You only get one life to live, so why not live the best life possible? So you can be 54 satisfied at what you see and 55 　. Just think a minute!

A

While the rest of his family was happily feasting during Spring Festival, Zu Xinming, a Senior 2 student in Shaanxi province, was frowning. “Every time my relatives leave after dinner, almost half of the dishes are unfinished,” he said, and we throw away a lot of food.

Nowadays in China, food waste is a widespread problem. Each year, Chinese people throw away the equivalent (相等的量) of about 50 million tons of grain, an amount which could feed 200 million people, according to Xinhua News Agency. One reason is that people are unaware of the issue. “Some of my friends don’t care at all when they can’t finish the food on their plates,” said Zu, “and they even throw it away if they don’t like the taste.” Gong Tao, an official from the Communist Youth League of China Committee of Central South University in Hunan province, is worried about the decreasing awareness of foo
