Nobody wants to reach the end of their life and experience regret. Instead, we desire to experience satisfaction with the life we’ve been given. 1. . To live a life without regret in the future, you should try to stay away from the following four common unhealthy habits.

2. It is good to have a destination to go to but it is the journey that matters in the end. Too often, we live our lives from destination to destination. But life is not lived merely in these destinations. In fact, it is far more often lived in the pathways between them. We should appreciate the joy in the journey rather than always hurry to the next destination.

Be defined by your negative circumstances. Each morning we are born again. What we do today is what matters most. This is an important truth and an important promise. Our lives should not be defined by the negative circumstances that happened in our past. They may have affected our lives, but they do not write the final chapter. 3.

Focus entirely on yourself. The size of our universe becomes smaller considerably when we place ourselves at the center. 4. On the contrary, those who see their life as an opportunity to bring joy to others quickly find it themselves.

5. Every excess (过量) adds burden to our lives. And yet we continue to pursue and accumulate more than we need—more houses, more cars, more clothes, and more dishes. Owning less means less cleaning, less burden, less anxiety, and less stress each day. It provides the space and opportunity to pursue the things in life that bring lasting satisfaction to our lives.

A. Blame everybody else.

B. Carry more than you need.

C. It is we ourselves who hold the pen.

D. Miss the joy of the journey for the destination.

E. Only a fool believes the wide road is necessarily the right road.

F. The fact is that too many people experience regret at the lives they chose to live.

G. And the people who are most focused on themselves are the least satisfied in life.

When you are travelling in Thailand, which means of transport is the best choice?

You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand. It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north. The most popular bikes are the little 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 baht (铢) a day or as little as 3,000 baht per month, making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.

Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi. When you are in cities in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, always remember to get a taxi that is traveling on the roads. Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the meter(计程表). They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!

The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good, so renting cars is another way to get around. The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable(合理的) price. It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West. Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand, more expensive than American prices, but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe. In the past, Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in—signs were generally in Thai only, making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around. But now, the situation is improved. In a lot of places, even the farthest corners of the country, street signs are in both Thai and English.

1.To a foreigner, the most economical way to get around Thailand is renting a ________.

A. motorbike B. car C. taxi D. bike

2.What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?

A. To make sure there is a meter in it.

B. To take a taxi parked outside hotels.

C. To take a taxi going on the road.

D. To bargain with the driver over the price.

3.It was difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past because ________.

A. there were too many traffic jams on the roads

B. the signs were written only in their own language

C. there were no signs at the farthest corners

D. the quality of the roads was not good

For a long time, the traditional method of identifying liars was to watch their body language, including facial expressions.

What if the person appears to be nervous? Is the person unable to look me in the eye? Is he or she look around the room? What about other nervous movements, such as fidgeting(坐立不安)or shifting from side to side? Many people—from parents to police officers and airport security personnel—depend on this method. But does a person’s body and face reveal the truth? Not according to a new study.

Talking, it seems, is the best way to smoke out a liar. That is what researchers in the United Kingdom found out recently. Their investigation took place at one place where lying can get you into big trouble—an airport.

The researchers asked volunteers to pretend they were real passengers and then lie to airport security agents. Some of the agents used spoke conversation-based methods to question these make-believe passengers. Others depended instead on the person’s body language, like lack of eye contact and showing signs of nervousness. The agents talking with the passengers were 20 times more likely to catch the liars. The study found that these conversation-based techniques can help you recognize when a person is lying to you. Like many methods, this conversation method has a name. It is called Controlled Cognitive Engagement or CCE, for short.

The British government partly financed this study. The American Psychological (APA) published the findings. Body language cannot be trusted. Using body language and facial expressions to catch someone in a lie is really hard. And it only works, seemingly, by chance.

Thomas Ormerod is the head of the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex in England. On the APA website, he reported that the “suspicious-signs method”—or using body language—“almost completely fails” in finding lies.

1.What are the questions in Paragraph 2 intended to do?

A. Show traditional ways to recognize a liar.

B. Launch a survey among readers.

C. Show the writer’s puzzlement.

D. Invite the readers to think twice.

2.What should volunteers in the investigation do?

A. Answer questions only using words.

B. Pretend to be airport security agents.

C. Act as passengers as researchers required.

D. Communicate with researchers by talking.

3.Which would be the best way to find out a liar according to the study?

A. Looking him in the eye.

B. Asking open-ended questions.

C. Making use of body language.

D. Observing his facial expression.

4.What will the author continue to talk about based on the passage?

A. Misunderstandings of catching a liar.

B. The “suspicious-signs” method.

C. How the CCE method works.

D. The new concept of CCE.

Poetry, one of the essential art forms of literature, is a brief and easy way to express our feelings. Moreover, everyone understands it in their own way. Some find relief in poems; some read them simply for peace; some read poems for simple artistic pleasure.

There are some special features of poetry, which make it quite different from other forms of literature. First of all, poems have rhythmic patterns. Generally most parts of a poem follow the same form of rhythm. Poems may have rhyme, but they don't have to. The lines are neatly arranged together so that they express a particular feeling or emotion.

There can be various types of poems but according to the pattern or the form, there are mainly three types:

Lyrics: The lyric mainly concentrates on human thoughts and emotions rather than a story. Lyrics always bear song-like appeal. These are mainly short poems. Popular lyric poem forms are the elegy, the ode and the sonnet. William Shakespeare, Edmund Waller and Keats are some of the greatest lyric writers of all times.

Narrative poems: This type of poetry tells a story. Narrative poems are usually long poems. Epics(史诗) and ballads fall under this type. Some of the greatest epic poets are John Milton, Dante, Edgar Allan Poe, Alexander Pope, William Shakespe are, etc..

Dramatic poems: Any drama that is written in verse is a dramatic poem. These poems generally tell a story. Black verse, dramatic monologue(独白) and closet drama belong to this type. William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson are some of the greatest dramatic poets.

Whatever the form is, one thing, which cannot be denied, is that poetry is one of the most powerful tools to express our feelings.

1.What do we know about lyrics?

①They are similar to songs.

②They usually tell stories.

③They are not very long.

④The sonnet is a type of lyrics.

A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④

2.We can know from the text that .

A. poems are weak in showing feelings

B. some poets write more than one type of poem

C. narrative poems are shorter than lyric poems

D. the sonnet and the ballad belong to the same type

3.This passage is written mainly to .

A. tell us some simple facts about poetry

B. teach us how to write poems

C. give some advice on reading poems

D. make us interested in poems

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.

I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.

I then found myself a job—looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书)if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

1.What is the author’s present job?

A. Working part-time in a college.

D. Looking after children at a kindergarten.

2.When staying with the two girls’ family, the author ________.

A. was paid for extra work

B. often worked long hours

C. got much help from her boss

D. took a day off every other week

3.Why did the author leave her first job?

A. She found a full-time job.

B. She was fed up with children.

C. She decided to attend a part-time course.

D. She needed a rest after working extra hours.
