We always tell ourselves that our life will be  4   when our spouse（配偶）gets his or her act together, when we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vocation when we   5  ．The truth is，there’s no better time than 6  ．If not now, when? Our life will always be filled with  7  ．It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy   8 　．

One of my  9  quotes comes from Alfred Souza．He said “for a long time it had  Seemed to me that life was about to begin—real life．But there was always some  10 in the way, something to be  11  first, some unfinished business，time still to be served，a debt to be paid．’’

Then life would begin．12  ，it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life．This perspective has helped me to see that there is no   13  to happiness．Happiness is the way．So  14  every moment that you have．

6、The principles about applying for jobs have altered greatly lately．In the past, people preferred a hand-written application letter．However, nowadays it is becoming more and more common to apply for a job through the Internet．You can find information on the Internet about how to apply for jobs．Information can be found about how to fulfill your application letter, the clothes that you should wear and how to carry out the interview itself．

The importance of body language is often mentioned，but doesn’t always get the attention it deserves．After all，before a word has even been spoken，your body language will have already given people their first impression of you．Additionally, your body language will also give out a lot more information．Based on your body language it can be seen if you are self-confident．It can also show if you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps give an impression of whether you are speaking truthfully or not．Body language can show how enthusiastic you are and if you are a nice person．someone who will take his work seriously, but also someone who has a sense of humor and can enjoy a joke from time to time．The members of the application committee will ask you questions，but your answers won’t only be oral．The committee will not only pay attention to what you say, but also to how you say it! Body language will determine first if it 'clicks'，and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds．Everybody uses body language，but it takes place mostly at a subconscious（下意识的） level．Using body language appropriately, you can definitely increase your chances of getting a job．

5、In many parts of the world，cars play an important role in daily life and many societies would not exist without them．So the idea that in 20 years’ time, no one will own cars may be hard to believe．But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously, not only by government but also by ear manufacturers．

The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program．The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be computerized，which will mean much saving，no accidents and better use of roads，The super-intelligent car of the 21^st century will drive itself, and it will not be owned by one individual．Instead，we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing．

According to Dr．David Davis，who leads the research team，these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture，which had blocked up our cities，polluted our air, and caused more deaths than both world wars put together．

Davis says，cars will be fitted with some intelligent devices to regulate the distance between one car and another．The car will automatically speed up，or slow down，to match the speed of the car in front．Computers are much safer drivers than people，so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people．

By 2010，Dr．David Davis believes，car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road，whatever the weather conditions，by projecting an image of the road ahead on to the car’s windscreen．And by 2020，cars will travel in convoy, linked to each other electronically．Cars will be connected by an electronic tow bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”．“The front vehicle in such a train burns the normal amount．”says Davis．‘‘ But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount，and so produce about ten percent of the pollution．’’

4、The unwanted disturbing of a mobile phone ringing at a critical moment has led to some famously strong reactions．

      British actor Richard Grif-fiths，stopped a performance at the National Theatre and ordered The offending party to leave．

      Judge Robert Restaino went considerably further．He was hearing a session of domestic violence offenders in a court when proceedings were interrupted by rings of a phone．

      “Everyone is going to jail unless I get that instrument now,” he shouted．

      Over the next two hours，the judge entered what a state commission concluded was a period of “incredible madness”．He began by ordering the doors of the court locked，and set the officers to searching for the phone．

      When that failed to find the offending item he ordered each of the defendants present in the room up to his bench and in turn asked them if they had no idea, he sent each in turn to jail.

All 46 of them．

    When a defendant protested the judge’s actions were not fair to those who didn’t possess the phone，Restaino replied：“I know it isn’t．

    Judge’s actions caused chaos．Extra officers had to be drafted into the court to control the crowd．and booking officers at the city jail were at foil stretch．“We were playing Twister in here”, one said at the time．

Fourteen of the defendants were shackled in irons and sent to the county jail．

     The judge cooled off and later that afternoon released all 46．

     The “two hours of viral lunacy（疯狂）”, has probably cost Restaino his job．The commission ruled that he should be removed from his$14,000 job．Restaino now has 30 days to appeal．

     His lawyer pointed out that until that moment he had served 11 years as a judge without any disciplinary issues．“With the exception of two hours．his record is spotless．”

3、Scientists Alan M．Goldberg and Thomas Hartung describe recent advances in replacing the use of animals in toxicology testing．Improvements in cell and tissue culture technologies，for example，allow a growing number of tests to be performed on human cells alone．Computer models are becoming increasingly complex and many could one day become more accurate than trials in living animals．

      Since the late 1990s，Huntingdon Life Sciences--a company that conducts testing of substances on animals conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration—has become a proving ground for aggressive strategies by animal-rights militants （好战分子）．At a hearing，a Senate．committee listened to testimony（证词） against Huntingdon employees and financial institutions providing services to the company．One experimentation witness at the hearing insisted that any means necessary were justified（辩护） to spare animals’ lives；he has previously accepted the idea of murder to that end．

      Use of animals in testing and in biomedical research continues to be necessary in many instances and is ethically preferable to experimenting on humans or giving up cures that could save human lives．But for the sake of people and animals alike，the development and acceptance of animal substitutes deserve enthusiastic support．

      In some instances, substitutes are already thought as good or better than animals，but supervising agencies have yet to catch up．In both the European Union and the U．S．，scientists and companies wanting to use the new alternative tests complain that regulatory standards for proving a drug or chemical to be safe for humans force the continued use of animals．Thus，animal-loving Americans might turn to persuading the EPA and the FDA to speed validation of new methods so that they can be more widely employed．And animal advocates who want to influence business could consider investing in the small biotech’s and large pharmaceutical（药品的） companies that are working to develop alternatives to animals in research．

A．Huntingdon Life Sciences                   B．Improvement in technologies

      B．animal substitutes are not preferable

      C．supervising standards contribute to the continued use of animals in testing

      D．only Huntingdon Life Sciences is accused

4．What’s the main idea of the passage?
