         A woman was in a hurry to go to the airport. She told the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so
    absorbed in her own thoughts that she was not aware they were going by a different route.
    Suddenly, a man got inside the cab. He took her handbag where she had placed her visa, passport, and
    all her money for the trip.
         The driver, who was in cahoots with the robber, left her in the middle of that dark street. She cursed
    the world for being so mean to her, and thought how unlucky she was in that situation.
    That very same night, she heard some shocking news.Tears flowed down her face.Flight 230,which was
    the plane that she was supposed to have boarded, had crashed.If she had not lost her precious belongings, she could have lost something far more important-her life.
         Sometimes bad things really happen.We lose money, fail our exams, or are rejected by others.There
    are times when nothing seems to go our way.
         So what should we do about it? Should we be disappointed? The answer is a resounding "No!" We
    must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the consistent faith that we will get what we
    deserve.
         Don't waste your time and energy on things that can't be changed.Continuous worrying will only affect
    your health and you'll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.
         What if it was the other way round? What if we never ran out of good luck?
         There was a man who won the lottery.He thought he was the luckiest person in the world.He became
    greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on.
         One day, he made it to the front page of the newspaper again.But this time, it was a different story.He
    had been killed because of his riches.
         If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it.Hope for protection and guidance.Life is
    so unpredictable.You never know what will happen next.
    Live one day at a time.we sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble.We ask
    ourselves: "What if I don't get this done in time?" or "What if my family leaves me and I've got no one else
    to turn to?"
         Live for the moment.Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine.
    Believe me. And believe in yourself. As Captain Planet always says: "The power is yours!"

         BERLIN - With the crisis in Japan raising fears about nuclear power, Germany and Switzerland said
    on Monday that they would reassess the safety of their own reactors.
         Doris Leuthard, the Swiss energy minister, said Switzerland would put off plans to build nuclear plants. She said no new ones would be permitted until experts had reviewed safety standards.
         Germany will put off "the recently decided extension of the running time of German nuclear plants,
    " Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters. "This moratorium (延缓)will run for three months and it will allow for a thorough examination of the safety standards of the county's 17 nuclear power plants.
         The European Union called for a meeting on Tuesday of nuclear safety authorities to assess Europe's
    preparedness.
         Germany's foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, called for a new risk analysis of the country's nuclear
    plants, particularly regarding their cooling systems. He is the leader of the Free Democratic Party, which
    strongly supports nuclear power.
         A previous government, led by the Social Democrats, passed a law in 2001 to close all the country's
    nuclear plants by 2021. But Mrs. Merkel's government changed that decision last year to extend the lives
    of the plants by an average of 12 years.
         In Switzerland, Doris Leuthard said she had already asked to analyze the exact cause of the problems
    in Japan and draw up new or tougher safety standards "particularly in terms of seismic(地震的) safety and cooling."
         In Russia, the Prime Minister said his government would "draw conclusions from what's going on in
    Japan."

         "Tomorrow is another day"- this line has impressed various people at various times. It's now 70 years
    after it appeared in the film, but it still seems to hold its power especially during an economic downturn.
    The phrase comes from a film adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's successful 1936 novel Gone With the
    Wind
    . It's set in the American South and tells the story of a strong heroine, Scarlett O' Hara, who struggles to find love during the Civil War and, afterwards, of her strength in surviving the war and its hardships.
         Love story  
         In a moment of despair, Scarlett finally realizes that her love belongs to Rhett Butler. For many
    audiences, it is the theme of love and struggle that has kept the movie alive. While the burning of Atlanta
    might seem irrelevant to today's viewers, the timeless theme of love keeps its ability to touch people.
         With a promise to her lover still in her mind, Scarlett chooses to stay in the midst of war and take care of Melanie. But her heart is broken when Rhett just walks away, leaving the woman that he once loved
    with cruel words, "Frankly, dear, I don' t give a damn."
         Great epic
         The film shows the love-hate relationship of these characters, but also American history, the fall of the Confederacy and the following period of Reconstruction in the South. The background made this film a
    true classic in the epic genre.
         When the film opened after World War II, French viewers loved it, and it reminded them of their fight
    against the Nazis. In 1940 Shanghai, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, people
    stood in line for hours to watch this film, and saw the same suffering they were having as well as the hope
    and possibility of building a new homeland from the ruins.
         Each nationality could identify with the story and see it as a victory. In fact, Gone With the Wind
    never lost its charm and ability to inspire and amaze.
         Biggest of all time
         The film had five directors, 15-plus screenwriters, and an unexpected $3.9 million budget. The film
    brought in $ 200 million, which makes it the biggest selling film of all times in North America. It also won
    10 Academy awards in 1940.
    1. The underlined "it" in the first paragraph refers to _______.
    A. the novel Gone with the Wind            
    B. "tomorrow is another day"

    D. inspire people to struggle the economic downturn
    3. It can be concluded that Scarlett O' Hara is _______.
    A. optimistic and lucky            
    B. childish and realistic
    C. caring and stubborn

         NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences.
    Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they
    relive experiences in nightmares.
         Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget
    bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it
    might reduce, or possibly wipe out the effect of painful memories.
         In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body
    releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain, So far the research has suggested that only the
    emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure
    to what degree people's memories are affected.
         The research has causeda great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
         Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They
    say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
         "Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them
    in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a
    professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School."This could relieve a lot of that suffering."
         But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people's memories and
    changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid
    the mistakes of the past.
         "All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are.
    I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out," said Rebecca Dresser ,a medical ethicist.
    1.The passage is mainly about        .
    A. a new medical invention
    B. a new research on the pill
    C. a way of wiping out painful memories
    D. an argument about the research on the pill
    2.We can infer from the passage that        .
    A. experts are not sure about the effects of the pills.
    B. the pill will certainly stop people's emotional memories
    C. taking the pill will do harm to people's physical health
    D. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America
    3.Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph?
    A. some memories can ruin people's lives.
    B. people want to get rid of bad memories.
    C. experiencing bad events makes us different from others.
    D. the pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.
    4. You may probably read the passage in      
    A. a guidebook              
    B. a textbook

         The physical memory dump error is a big problem that affects even the most advanced computer
    systems.Although it's quite a rare error, it's one of the most stopping what you're doing and restarting
    your computer-making you lose all your unsaved data.This is a big problem, but there is actually a very
    easy way to fix it.
         There are two reasons why the physical memory dump happens.The first is pretty simple and is to do
    with the "hardware", and if any of thesepieces are not fit for your system, it will cause the physical
    memory dump.So, if you've recently added any hardware to your PC, then take that out and see if it
    works.
         The other reason is your system, the "registry".The registry is a big database that operates in the
    background of Windows, storing all sorts of settings and information about your PC.The problem with
    the registry is that since it has so many important files inside, it's constantly got hundreds of files open
    every time you use your PC.And because there are so many files to open at once, Windows is constantly
    getting confused, leading it to save many of these files in the wrong way.These files go wrong when saved wrongly, making them difficult for your computer to read.However, if it can't read the files at all, it has no
    choice but to stop everything it's doing and restart your PC.This is why the physical memory dump error
    appears so easily-because when a registry file is so wrong that it can't be read, your computer needs to
    refresh itself immediately.
         This latter reason for causing the physical memory dump is actually extremely common and the
    likelihood is that your PC is suffering from it, if you're seeing this error.Luckily, it's also incredibly easy to
    fix-you just need to use a software tool called a "registry cleaner" to go through the registry and fix all the
    problems in there.
    1. From the text we can infer that ________.
    A. the dump error often happens to your PC
    B. the dump can be dealt with easily

         Goals are the guides all through our life. We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a
    great effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and
    yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is
    that we do not focus on our present situation.
         Let me explain. Most of us see our present situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means
    of reaching our final destination. We don't take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss the beautiful scenery along the way.
         Let's use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the
    manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will
    watch others achieve our goal instead.
         What we should be doing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get
    to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We
    can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have
    the skills we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and
    supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ourselves the best chance of promotion.
         So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we
    are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves
    the very best chance of reaching our goals in the future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true:
    "Rome wasn't built in a day.", "Patience is a virtue", and so on.
    Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very
    best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more importantly, we will enjoy our life
    every day.
