“Well then, why are you going to carpool?”I .

My friend couldn’t help and told me that “carpool” refers to the lane that only the cars with two or more can drive in. I felt rather on hearing that.

It is known to all that life is like a package, which includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day, we learn to handle various situations.

Love

Love plays a very important role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go Hayward（不歸路） and also become cruel . In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature(成熟) and help us to understand life better.

Happiness and Sorrow

Materialistic(物質(zhì)) happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically because of the death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary(暫時) and pass away.

Failure and Success

Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. The only way to show our thanks to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble(謙遜), modest, polite and respectful to the less lucky ones.

Hope and Despair

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.

Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only choice is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

Everyone has good habits and bad habits.

Unfortunately,while identifying(識別) our bad habits is easy,changing them is not.Here are some tips to help you develop good habits to achieve your goals.

1. Identify Your Bad Habits

    You should be able to understand your own  

    behavior and how they can either help or

    hinder(阻礙)your success.To help you out,

think about how others act and about how   

   you react.Then identify those actions that

   anger,upset,or annoy you. 

2. Write Them Down

    Once you have identified the behavior you    

    wish to improve,write them down on a piece

    of paper.Choose one,two at most,and focus

    only on those.Make notes about them,and

    post those notes in prominent(顯眼的) places

    to serve as a constant reminder to you to

    correct your behavior in those areas.

3. Live for Today

    Try not to think of what you have to do

    tomorrow,next week,or next  month.

    Instead,focus on what you are doing right  

    now.Give each person you deal with your

    undivided attention,and try not to let other

    aspects of your life interfere(打擾).

4. Seek Help

    Let your family and friends know about the 

changes you wish to make in your life.Ask

Them _____ .Sometimes learning to accept advice is a new habit in and of itself.By receiving advice from people you trust,you will be able to learn whether or not you will be successful in building new habits. Change is 

not easy.It takes effort,hard work,and determination. As you begin to build new habits, you will need to think about them constantly to prevent the old habits from taking over. With time and practice,you will have developed new behavior that can lead you to success.

完形填空：

　　When you are learning English, you find 1 wrong to translate a sentence work for word into your 2 language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an 3 . If you look 4 each word in the 5 , one at a time, what is your 6 ? It must be a 7 and old sentence in your native language. Languages do not only have different sounds, they are also 8 in many other ways. It is very 9 to master the rules of word 10 in the study of English, too. If the 11 puts words in a very unusual order, the listener doesn't 12 the speaker's sentence easily.

　　Another thing we must always 13 is that there are a lot of 14 in the English language. For example, when we say “Look out!” to a man who is in danger, we 15 mean “Be careful!”

　　When people are parting (分手), they often say “Good-bye!” 16 “Bye-bye !” But sometimes they 17 say “Good morning!” or “Good afternoon! ” or “ Good evening! ” 18 “Good night!” to one another 19 “Good-bye!” You will find few people 20 know that “ Goodbye!” is short for “Good bye with you!” ( Means “God be with you.” )

Good study habits will contribute to a successful academic future. Good study habits lead to good grades, and good grades lead to applications for better colleges and universities. This in turn will lead to a great career.

To be successful, the first thing you need to do is to take responsibility for your actions. You are the only one who can decide your own important things and how to use your time. Your actions today will decide what will happen tomorrow and even in the near future.

Your success rests in your own hands. Do not be influenced by others. Be a leader, not a follower. Do not allow your friends to tell you what is important. Keep friends who lead you towards your goals, not away from them.

The most important thing to learn to succeed in the classroom is to make full use of your time outside the classroom. Review your class notes and the proper chapters (章節(jié)) in your textbooks. Different people work better at different times. Some students work better in the morning, while some can study better in the afternoon, or at night. Nightly review of your notes is a great idea and will help you understand your lessons to a much greater degree. This review will save time in the long run. If you study in the morning, plan to study your hardest subjects first. If you prepare for your lessons in advance, you will be more relaxed in classes.

Set the more important things into your plan, have a to-do list and put the most important project first. Once this is done, move to the second most important project. Crossing off each project as you finish will give you a sense of achievement.

Choose a study place where you can be comfortable and pay attention to other things that help to improve your productivity (效率). For example, can you study well with soft music in the background?

Always challenge yourself. Do not be satisfied with your own school textbooks. Ask questions and do your own research. Share your knowledge and listen to others. When you share your knowledge, you help others increase their knowledge. As an unexpected result, when you help others, you learn more.

Always seek solutions to problems. If you have difficulty understanding something in the book, read it again. If you still cannot understand it, ask the teacher for help. Make sure to look for help immediately or you may fall behind.

When you put your best effort into you work, you are already a success! When you follow these study habits successfully, you will develop a sense of satisfaction. This will provide you with a strong feeling of pride because of your achievement. Your good grades will give you confidence for the future. These habits will contribute to a successful and happy future!

Hiking is an outdoor activity which consists of walking in natural environments, often in mountainous. People often hike on hiking trails. It is such a popular activity that there are many hiking organizations worldwide.

It’s safe to say that hiking can heal and please the human being in many ways.

75. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?

At the beginning of the World Series of 1947, I experienced a completely new emotion, when the National Anthem was played. This time, I thought, it is being played for me, as much as for anyone else. This is organized major league baseball, and I am standing here with all the others; and everything that takes place includes me.

About a year later, I went to Atlanta, Georgia, to play in an exhibition game. On the field, for the first time in Atlanta, there were Negroes and whites. Other Negroes besides me. And I thought: What I have always believed has come to be.

And what is it that I have always believed? First, those imperfections are human. But that wherever human beings were given room to breathe and time to think, those imperfections would disappear, no matter how slowly. I do not believe that we have found or even approached perfection. That is not necessarily in the scheme of human events. Handicaps, stumbling blocks, prejudices — all of these are imperfect. Yet, they have to be dealt with because they are in the scheme of human events.

Whatever obstacles I found made me fight all the harder. But it would have been impossible for me to fight at all, except that I was sustained by the personal and deep-rooted belief that my fight had a chance. It had a chance because it took place in a free society. Not once was I forced to face and fight an immovable object. Not once was the situation so cast-iron rigid that I had no chance at all. Free minds and human hearts were at work all around me; and so there was the probability of improvement. I look at my children now, and know that I must still prepare them to meet obstacles and prejudices.

But I can tell them, too, that they will never face some of these prejudices because other people have gone before them. And to myself I can say that, because progress is unalterable, many of today's dogmas (教條)will have vanished by the time they grow into adults. I can say to my children: There is a chance for you. No guarantee, but a chance. And this chance has come to be, because there is nothing static with free people. There is no Middle Ages logic so strong that it can stop the human tide from flowing forward. I do not believe that every person, in every walk of life, can succeed in spite of any handicap. That would be perfection. But I do believe — and with every fiber in me — that what I was able to attain came to be because we put behind us (no matter how slowly) the dogmas of the past: to discover the truth of today; and perhaps find the greatness of tomorrow.

I believe in the human race. I believe in the warm heart. I believe in man's honesty. I believe in the goodness of a free society. And I believe that the society can remain good only as long as we are willing to fight for it — and to fight against whatever imperfections may exist. My fight was against the barriers that kept Negroes out of baseball. This was the area where I found imperfection, and where I was best able to fight. And I fought because I knew it was not doomed to be a losing fight. It couldn't be a losing fight-not when it took place in a free society. And in the largest sense, I believe that what I did was done for me — that it was my faith in God that sustained me in my fight. And that what was done for me must and will be done for others.

Michael Leung，a famous TV host in Hong Kong ,wrote a letter to his son. It is not only h 1. to children, but also good for all ages. The following are f 2.his letter.

Life is s 3. . While you are wasting it today, you’ll realize you are at the e 4.of it tomorrow. So the earlier you start to value ( 珍惜) your life, the earlier you can enjoy it.

At the beginning of the World Series of 1947，I experienced a completely new emotion，when the National Anthem was played． This time，I thought，it is being played for me，as much as for anyone else．This is organized major league baseball，and I am standing here with all the others；and everything that takes place includes me.

About a year later，I went to Atlanta，Georgia，to play in an exhibition game．On the field，for the first time in Atlanta，there were Negroes and whites．Other Negroesbesides me．And I thought: What I have always believed has come to be.

And what is it that I have always believed？ First，that imperfections are human．But that wherever human beings were given room to breathe and time to think，those imperfections would disappear，no matter how slowly．I do not believe that we have found or even approached perfection．That is not necessarily in the scheme of human events．Handicaps，stumbling blocks，prejudices — all of these are imperfect．Yet，they have to be dealt with because they are in the scheme of human events.

Whatever obstacles I found made me fight all the harder．But it would have been impossible for me to fight at all，except that I was sustained by the personal and deep-rooted belief that my fight had a chance．It had a chance because it took place in a free society．Not once was I forced to face and fight an immovable object．Not once was the situation so cast-iron rigid that I had no chance at all．Free minds and human hearts were at work all around me；and so there was the probability of improvement．I look at my children now，and know that I must still prepare them to meet obstacles and prejudices.

But I can tell them，too，that they will never face some of these prejudices because other people have gone before them．And to myself I can say that，because progress is unalterable，many of today's dogmas （教條）will have vanished by the time they grow into adults．I can say to my children: There is a chance for you．No guarantee，but a chance．And this chance has come to be，because there is nothing static with free people．There is no Middle Ages logic so strong that it can stop the human tide from flowing forward． I do not believe that every person，in every walk of life，can succeed in spite of any handicap．That would be perfection．But I do believe — and with every fiber in me — that what I was able to attain came to be because we put behind us （no matter how slowly） the dogmas of the past: to discover the truth of today；and perhaps find the greatness of tomorrow.

I believe in the human race．I believe in the warm heart．I believe in man's honesty．I believe in the goodness of a free society．And I believe that the society can remain good only as long as we are willing to fight for it — and to fight against whatever imperfections may exist．My fight was against the barriers that kept Negroes out of baseball．This was the area where I found imperfection，and where I was best able to fight．And I fought because I knew it was not doomed to be a losing fight．It couldn't be a losing fight-not when it took place in a free society．And in the largest sense，I believe that what I did was done for me — that it was my faith in God that sustained me in my fight．And that what was done for me must and will be done for others.
