阅读下面的短文，并根据要求回答问题。
Even if you really enjoy your job, it’s still possible to battle boredom as you work. You may not be able to make big changes—or change your job—but you can make small adjustments to your routine that can make every day seem, well, a little less routine.
1. Switch Your Seat
Change your outlook at the office by changing your office. Ask your supervisor to help you find a new desk. Even switching desks with a neighboring coworker can offer a fresh atmosphere.
If it's not possible to change your location, see if you can change your desk’s direction. A new view can be just as refreshing as a new location.
2. ______________
Start and end your day in a different way. Consider a new mode of transportation, if it’s possible. Take a subway. Ride a bike on sunny days. Carpool with a coworker. Use a new route to get to your job. You needn't change it for ever—just long enough to help you escape the boredom.
3. Find a New Work Style
Sick of attending that long-standing Monday morning meeting? Try to change it to the afternoon.
If you find yourself feeling most bored in the afternoons, try to arrange to do your favorite tasks then and tackle less desirable projects in the mornings.
If you usually communicate with coworkers via email and instant messaging, start dealing with people face to face. Increased communication with coworkers may help improve your mood.
4. Get and Set a Goal
If your work is short of objectives, it's no wonder that work has become boring. Identify a goal and set an “achieve by” date for it.
Your goal needn’t be noble as long as you have enough enthusiasm for it. Perhaps you want to make a new project. Maybe you’d like to pursue a promotion. Or you may even set a goal of finding a new job altogether. Whatever it is, actively move toward an objective.

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
We often focus on building relationships with others that we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. That is the crucial first step if we are to have good relationships with others. How can we have good relationships with others if we don’t even have good relationship with ourselves?
Here are some tips:
1. Forgive yourself
You may have made those mistakes in the past, but is there anything you can do about them? I don’t think so, except learning from them. It’s true that you are not perfect, but neither is everybody else. It’s normal to make mistakes, so do yourself a favor by giving yourself forgiveness.
2. Focus on your strengths
Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. You always have some strengths which give you a unique combination nobody else have. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them.
3. Stop comparing yourself with others
You are unique. You can never be like other people, and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people and what they achieve. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. You have everything you need to achieve your life purpose, so it’s useless to compare yourself with others.

l 以你自己为例，简述你对金钱、快乐的看法；
l 你如何看待快乐没痛苦才是真正的幸福的观点；

[阅读材料]
The way people hold the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free lifestyle equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever obtaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness，then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact，the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness contain some pain.
As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness．They fear the pain inevitably (不可避免地) brought by such things as marriage，raising children，professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement．
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment，for commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement．Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples，with infant children, are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep of a three-day vacation. We don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples that decide not to have children ever know the joys of watching a child grow up or playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

请根据以下的任务说明和写作要求，写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
[阅读材料] Speaking Mandarin Chinese
In China, there are over 100 different dialects, which are so complicated that even people from neighboring villages may not understand each other. In the information age, such barrier of language must be removed by popularizing Mandarin because it inversely affects the quality and efficiency of oral communication.
We have many things to do in Mandarin popularization. First, we should carry out a mass education on the importance of speaking Mandarin to make everyone understand that it is his responsibility to do so. In the past, little progress has been made in isolated rural areas because the natives do not bother to take pains to learn to speak Mandarin. Next, speaking good Mandarin should be compulsory in classrooms, in public offices, in movies and TV programs in China. Finally, we should attach great importance to public education because China has large illiterate（文盲的）population. A poorly educated nation has no international reputation. Popularizing Mandarin is only the first step in changing China into a better-educated nation.
Popularizing Mandarin is of great importance because it may push up our economic growth, accelerate the development of science and technology, and promote the unification of China. With a population of over 1.3 billion people, it is not an easy task. But we must do it and do it effectively.
[任务说明] 你要参加一场英语演讲比赛，主题是“如何处理好普通话与方言的关系”。在参赛之前，你要查阅相关资料，并准备你的演讲发言。请认真阅读下面的短文，然后完成以下的任务。

b) 你同意全国推广普通话吗？ 为什么？
c) 你认为有必要保留地方方言吗？ 为什么？
d) 如何处理好普通话与地方方言的关系？
