Being content with yourself and optimistic about your future is not difficult. Whatever is in the past is1. Learn from it and move on. When you are enough2to do this, you will see that moving ahead is the best definition of3.
What can you do now? Sure it is4 for me to tell you to forget the past,5 it is a whole different6 to actually do it. Life is a complex set of events much of which7 is real, but a large amount is just your8 of what really happened.
Let me9 with an example. I know not everyone is a football fan, but I am10 most have watched at least11of a game on TV. Most games and almost all the important games are12 over and over on the TV screen right after the game happened.
When you watched a game, you were13 of the outcome, saying the player14 the ball. Then while watching the instant replay, you realized you were15 wrong. The player dropped the pass. What you were certain of never happened.
In order to16 on your future, you should try to minimize the effects of your past. Try to find out how much of the past that you are certain are just17. For example, as a teenager, you tried to build a piece of furniture in your father’s workshop. The piece of furniture looked18 when you finished, but it fell apart before you could19 it to your father. The reality was that the wood you used was faulty. It was not your building ability. So don’t think yourself to be a20 carpenter (木匠) and avoid building anything. Forget the past and move on.

It was a cold winter. The day my husband fell to his death, it started to snow, just1any November day. His2, when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it3. One morning, I walked slowly4and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman clearing my walk. I dropped to my knees and crawled back upstairs,5those good people would not see me. I was6. My first thought was, how would I ever7them? I didn’t have the8to brush my hair,9clear someone’s walk.
Before Jon’s death, I felt proud that I10asked for favors. I identified myself by my competence and11. So who was I if I was no longer capable? How could I12myself if I just sat on the couch every day and watched the snow fall?
Learning to receive the love and13from others wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried. Finally, my friend Kathy said, “Mary, cooking for you isn’t a14for me; it makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over, I heard15words from the people who supported me during those16days. One wise man told me, “You aren’t doing nothing because being fully open to your17may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
I am not the person I18was, but in many ways I have changed for the19. I’ve been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom coming form20one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.

“To think that I’m not going to use cell phone when at the same time I can still use my laptop(膝上电脑), I still can read a paper, I can still change my trousers while driving 65 mph. I think there’s just something wrong,” an official said.

Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Therefore, the choice of an 1 should be made even before choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, 2, most people make several job choices during their working lives, 3 because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve 4 position. The "one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should 5 enter into a broad flexible training program that will 6 them for a field of work rather than for a single 7 .
Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans 8 benefit of help from a competent vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing 9 about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss 10. Some drift from job to job. Others 11 to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.
One common mistake is choosing an occupation for 12 real or imagined prestige .
Too many high-school students - or their parents for them - choose the professional field, 13 both the relatively small percentage of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal 14. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a White-collar job is 15 good reason for choosing it as life's work. 16, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large percentage of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the 17 of young people should take serious 18 into these fields.
Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants 19 life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take 20 for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D. Fill in each blank with a word or phrase that best fits the context.
Being alone in outer space can be1. That is one reason why astronauts on solo(单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them2. They were also in constant communication with people on the earth.3, being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine(潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on4space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have also found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of5is. When men are6together for a long period, they begin to feel7. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 8 .
Apparently, although no one wants to be9all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of10or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to11stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in12our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress, and thus they can do better than ordinary people.

I put a package of small gold colored foil (金箔) angels in my purse after my illness. The package was 1 and the angels fell out into my purse.
On the way home, I was at the store 2 for something and change was 3. I dug in, got the change and gave it to the 4. I didn’t realize there were also angels sticking (粘) to the 5! Well, she said, “Oh, angels for 6! Thank you! Come back and see me anytime!”
This 7 several times that day, with almost the same reaction at 8 places, with different people. So now I keep the angels in there and 9 dispense (分发) them with the change.
This little 10 has led to some interesting conversations --- for example, when I did go back to the same 11 where the lady received the 12 angles, she told me how much she 13 them and kept them by her bed.
She then told me, “I was 14 as a child, I couldn’t walk or talk. My grandparents told me that if I didn’t 15 I would be healed because the angel was 16 me. I started praying, and within a year I was totally healed! I’m so 17 for this healing!”
She also told me that the first time she 18me, she thought I was an angel! I then gave her some more angels, and 19 she acted like I had given her a million dollars!
What a lovely 20!
I plan on always keeping the little gold angels in my purse and dispensing them everywhere. When I do, I don’t say anything --- I just give them with the change.

French people pride themselves on their delicious foods, such as cheese, baguettes and croissants (two kinds of food). In fact, food is an important part of French culture. Families and friends spend hours over the dinner table each night. It is the opposite of the fast – food habit common in other parts of the West.
It’s the reason why the French are very angry that a McDonald’s is opening beneath Paris’s most famous museum: the Louvre (卢浮宫). The mew restaurant will be the 1,142 nd McDonald’s in France, and will open in the underground approach to the museum. But many French people can’t understand why this American chain is opening in the heart of French culture.
However, McDonald’s is paying no notice to the complaint. McDonald’s now has 31,000 chains worldwide. Tourists are hungry, and opening chains in tourist spots pays well.
There is another chain threatening France’s heritage. This time it is coffee rather than burgers. As more and more Starbucks open in Paris, traditional French cafes are forced to close.
The trouble with American companies opening chains throughout the world is the destructive effect they can have on a country’s culture. How can a small, independent coffee shop compete with the multi – billion dollar chain? You can go to a Starbucks in any city in the world, but you can only go to a Parisian café in France.
Responsibility is with the tourists. A McDonald’s wouldn’t open so near the Louvre if it weren’t not going to make money. Similarly, a Pizza Hut wouldn’t overlook (俯瞰) Egypt’s Great Pyramid if no one wants to sit in it. Maybe next time you visit the Great Wall, you should think twice before ordering a Cappuccino in the Starbucks.

  1. 1.

    Why are the French very angry when a McDonald’s is opening beneath the Louvre?

    1. A.
      Because they will spend many hours in McDonald’s.
    2. B.
      Because French food culture is very impressive.
    3. C.
      Because they also have the fast – food habit.
    4. D.
      Because they are proud of their own food.
  2. 2.

    The McDonald’s will be located in the underground approach to the museum because_______.

    1. A.
      the complaints of the French are useless
    2. B.
      opening a chain in tourist spot is rewarding
    3. C.
      McDonald’s tends to be in the heart of culture
    4. D.
      it will help to attract more tourists for the museum
  3. 3.

    What is the trouble with American companies opening chains all over the world?

    1. A.
      The traditional stores of a country are forced to fight back.
    2. B.
      The traditional stores of a country become dependant.
    3. C.
      They have negative effect on a country’s culture.
    4. D.
      The multi – billion dollar chain can’t be matched.
  4. 4.

    The author suggests that the tourists can_______.

    1. A.
      decide whether the multiple stores of America are successful or not
    2. B.
      order a Cappuccino in the Starbucks when they visit the Great Wall
    3. C.
      sit in a Pizza Hut when they visit Egypt’s Great Pyramid
    4. D.
      enter the McDonald’s when they visit the Louvre
