| I am a good mother of three children.I have tried never to let my passion stand in the way of being a good parent. I no longer consider myself the center of the universe.I show up.I listen.I try to laugh.I am a good friend to my husband.I have tried to make marriage vows (誓言) mean what they say.I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me.Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today. So here's what I want to tell you today:Get a life.A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house. Get a life in which you are not alone.Find people you love, and who love you.And remember that love is not leisure (休闲), it is work.Pick up the phone.Send an email.Write a letter.And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted. It is so easy to  waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes.It_is_so_easy_to_exist_instead_of_to_live.I learnt to live many years ago.Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all.And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all. I learned to love the journey, not the destination.I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally.And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this:Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy.And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived. 1.

| Busy senior managers need no longer waste time in showering themselves-an Australian company has invented a suit that can be worn while they wash. The suit has been specially designed so that it can be cleaned under the showerhead.There is no need for soaking (浸泡), dry cleaning-or even soap. The Japanese market has taken a liking to the "shower suit", described as "revolutionary" by its owner Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), which is the research and marketing body that represents Australian woolgrowers.Orders have been placed for 170,000 of the woolen suits. The suit could be worn in the shower, although it was probably better to hang it on a clothes hanger and carry it instead, AWI corporate affairs spokesman Stephen Feighan said."The idea is that you hang it up and then...you give it a  spray (喷雾), and it's dry the next morning, " Mr Feighan said.A Japanese researcher working for AWI invented the suit by combining three technologies.The secret is the best lining (内衬), which allows the suit to dry quickly.The shower suit attracted busy corporate people, particularly those who often traveled or stayed up late, Mr Feighan said.The airline industry was also interested. Mr Feighan confessed he had not worn one of the suits yet, or tried to wash it in the shower, because they cut to fit Japanese figures. AWI believes that the shower suit will spread from the Japanese market through Europe and India .Mr Feighan hoped the suit, made from local wool, would be available in Australia in 12 to 18 months' time. 1. What is the writing purpose of the article? A. To introduce a newlydesigned shower suit. B. To help the white collars arrange their life more sensibly. C. To provide suggestions on saving time in bath. D. To praise AWI for its important achievement. 2. Which is true about the suit according to the passage? A. It can spare the owner's trouble of soaking, dry cleaning and applying soap. B. It is of the quality of fast dry for its best cloth. C. It is not suitable for hanging. D. It has attracted more orders than any other suit. 3. The suit draws the attention from all the following groups EXCEPT________. A. corporate people who are always on the go B. people on occasional business trips C. the airline industry D. people burning the mid  night oil4. Which of the following has much to do with Mr Feighan? A. The invention of the suit. B. The tryon of the sui  t.C. The combination of the three technologies on the suit. D. The popularization of the suit and best wishes for it 5. It can be inferred from the passage that________. A. Australians prefer foreign markets to the domestic one B. wool is the most favorite material for clothing C. westerners have different body sizes and figures from easterners D. Australia's economy will not recover within a year |
| 信息匹配 A. The Development of an Early Union. B. Support from the Public. C. The Decline of an Early Union. D. A Brief Comparison between the Union and the Medieval Craft Guilds. E. Management's Reaction to the Labour Movement. F. Reasons for starting a Union. 1. _____ Some scholars hav  e associated trade unions with the medieval craft guilds (中世纪的行会), but there are important differences between the two.The guild members were masters craftsmen who owned capital and often employed workers.Unions are known as associations of workers with similar skills. 2. _____ In the past, individual worker had no control over the conditions of their working lives; political and economic power was concentrated in the hands of wealthy business owners.Workers found, however, that there was strength in uniting.From their earliest years, union objectives have been higher wages and improved working conditions. 3._____ Employers resisted, of course.They made great efforts to stop union organizing its activities.Union members were fired, workers were forced to sign contracts in w  hich they promised not to join a union,and companies hired strikebreakers (罢工破坏者) and even gunmen to frighten organizers. 4._____ One of the earliest successful labour organizations in the United States was the Knights of Labour, founded in 1869.The Knights, which included both skilled and unskilled workers, attempted to organize all workers into one great union.After it successfully struck the Wabash railroad owned by Jay Gould in 1885, its popularity and power grew dramatically.In 1886 the Knights had 700,000 members. 5._____ The decline of the Knights of Labour, however, came quickly.The strike against Gould was gradually broken, and the Knights radical positions on social issues cost them public support.In the end, a lack of unity as well as the rapid inflow of unskilled immigrants weakened the union's economic power, and the organization came to an end. |
| 短文改错 I often quarrel about my mother over whether I can watch TV after school.She holds view that senior three students have to make most use of every minute to work hard at their lessons.It seems to me that once I am allowed to do that, I'll unable to control myself and forget all about my study. She also think it is bad for my eyes.But I really can't accept her ideas.In my opinion, watch TV can set my mind at rest specially after a day's hard work.Besides, it is important for us to know what is happened at home and at abroad.Thus, we shouldn't be forbidden to watch TV. ____________________________________________________________________________ |
