【題目】Time wasters are real enemies of success. Time wasters could be people, events or habits that lead to the opposite path away from our goals. The most important starting point in removing the time wasters in life is to know about them. We need to sit down and analyze the activities which take our time.

Start by making a list of our activities and sort out the neither urgent nor important ones. Sometimes it could be a simple addiction to a TV Soap Opera, constant distractions, or even one of our core （核心的）activities that we are not excellent at doing. We can, for instance, imagine that we are a business owner and we keep sabotaging our business deals, leading the company into great financial problems. It may be time for us to have our associates do the marketing while we concentrate on the areas we are best in. The next thing would be to make sure that we plan our daily activities. One of the obvious reasons is that we will have an upper hand in fighting against time wasters in our schedule. If what we want to do or what we don’t want to do becomes clear, our focus is strengthened.

Moreover, when we think of people we spend time with, we are sure to notice that some have a more positive impact on our success while others have a negative one. It is important to be able to distinguish them especially with regard to our schedule. While we do not advocate for everyone to throw away relationships, it is good to know that helping a friend who is emotionally disturbed can wait till dinner time. Finally, do the same to our habits. List all the habits and addictions that take any amount of our time. Then, take a little time to straighten them out in line with their importance and urgency.

Depending on our analysis, kill those that are harmful to our goals in life.

【1】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. The Importance of Developing Good Habits

B. The Significance of Planning Daily Activities

Patience is of great important in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left than the bus had arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then did I realize my problem. Be impatient will probably waste all the effort what we have put in. Now whenever I am about to losing my patience, I will think of this experience.

【題目】To forgive (原諒) may be great, but no one ever said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible — and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.【1】

So how do you start the recovering? Try following these steps:

Take the control away from your offender (冒犯者).【4】 Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.

【5】 If you understand that person, you may realize that he or she was acting out of love. To gain the same feeling, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.

A. There are several ways to forgive and forget.

B. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.

C. People who forgive show less stress and feel more energetic.

【題目】For the first time in the history of the Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou marathons, fourteen blind runners competed in the Nov 6 Hangzhou Marathon this year with the assistance of personal guides. Each runner was supported by 4 or 5 volunteers. Among them was Yan Wei, from a running group called “Running in the Dark”, which specially provides training for blind runners.

During trainings, blind runners are each accompanied by three volunteers. One volunteer is responsible for removing any obstacles（障礙物）on the road and controlling the pace. The second

volunteer acts as a lookout for other runners or vehicles on the path while the third, who is attached to the blind runner by a safety rope, takes note of the trainee’s running gait and pace.

Zhu Peihua, the leader of the group’s Shanghai branch, first developed a passion for running last year when he took part in a guided running activity. Zhu said that he was so fascinated with

the sport that he even bought a treadmill（跑步機）so that he could train at home. “Running gives

me the chance to be outside and take in the fresh air. The activity has also made me more willing to talk to people. It’s simply good for health, ” said Zhu.

The popularity of guided running activities for blind people has been growing since last year. Cheng Yi, a volunteer at Running in the Dark’s Hangzhou branch, said that both the numbers of blind runners and volunteers to become assistants to them are rising continually. However, he added that volunteers face a more physically demanding task compared to a regular runner. Some

of the other challenges involve being aware of the verbal(口頭的) instructions one gives.

“At the beginning, I kept saying ‘here’ and ‘there’ instead of ‘left’ or ‘right’ which is much more specific and relevant to the runner. A blind runner once collided with another runner because of my mistake. Luckily, no one was hurt,” said Cheng. Through everything, according to Cheng, he and many of the blind runners he has guided become close friends with shared topics and increased understandings.

【1】“Running in the Dark” .

A. has 4 or 5 volunteers B. is a very popular sports activity

C. helps people develop a passion for running D. trains the blind to run

【2】This passage is most probably taken from a/an .

A. newspaper B. advertisement

C. story book D. scientific report

【3】What is the best title of the passage?

A. Making the World Different. B. Meeting New Challenges.

C. Bringing Back Friendships. D. Lending One’s Feet and Eyes.
