A long red bridge stretches out across water. It runs across the Golden Gate. This is not the entrance to some sacred (神圣的)land,but it is just as magical. The Golden Gate is where San Francisco Bay meets the Pacific Ocean, and at night the scene of the bridge lit up over the water takes your breath away.
Welcome to San Francisco, a place famous for its beautiful parks, hilly streets and lovely beaches. But the bridge is undoubtedly the most well-known symbol of the city. Before its completion in 1937, the bridge was considered impossible to build because of the foggy weather ,powerful winds, and strong ocean currents (洋流)in the city. However, despite the difficult conditions, the bridge was built in no more than four years. Its total length is nearly 2 kilometers.
San Francisco ranks first on Lonely Planet’S list of best cities to visit in 2013. According to the world’s largest travel publisher, it came top as a result of its cultural mix.
According to the US 2010 census (人口普查),21 percent of the city’s population is made up of Chinese people. San Francisco’s Chinatown is the largest outside of Asia and the oldest in North America. Two traditional festivals, the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, are the biggest events of the year on the city’s calendar.
If yellow cabs (出租車)are a key part of New York city life, then the cable car (纜車) is San Francisco’s equivalent. The first cable car came into public service in 1873, and the slow and noisy vehicle has been a symbol of the city ever since. The cable car network was once damaged by a serious earthquake but, luckily, it has now recovered and provides better views than the subway.

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror. Mirrors have a very particular function. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a physical mirror serves as the vehicle to reflection, so do all of the people in our lives.
When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden serves as a reflection. In order to see the beauty in front of us, we must be able to see the beauty inside of ourselves. When we love someone, it's a reflection of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I'm with that person.” That simply translates into “I'm able to love me when I love that other person.” Oftentimes, when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes it's as if we've known each other for a long time. That feeling can come from sharing similarities. 
Just as the “mirror” or other person can be a positive reflection, it is more likely that we'll notice it when it has a negative connotation. For example, it's easy to remember times when we have met someone we're not particularly crazy about. We may have some criticism in our mind about the person. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend less time. 
Frequently, when we dislike qualities in other people, ironically, it's usually the mirror that's speaking to us. I began questioning myself further each time I encountered someone that I didn't particularly like. Each time, I asked myself, “What is it about that person that I don't like?” and then “Is there something similar in me?” in every instance, I could see a piece of that quality in me, and sometimes I had to really get very introspective. So what did that mean? 
It means that just as I can get annoyed or disturbed when I notice that aspect in someone else, I’d better reexamine my qualities and consider making some changes. Even if I'm not willing to make a drastic change, at least I consider how I might modify some of the things that I'm doing. 
At times we meet someone new and feel distant, disconnected, or disgusted. Although we don't want to believe it, and it's not easy or desirable to look further, it can be a great learning lesson to figure out what part of the person is being reflected in you. It's simply just another way to create more self-awareness. 
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS).
小題1:Everyone we meet is our mirror because ________________________________.
小題2: _________________________ is the reflection of our loving others.
小題3:How can we benefit from a person who has the qualities that we don’t like?
__________________________________________________________________
小題4:What can we do to develop our self-awareness when we meet someone new and feel distant, disconnected or disgusted? _______________________________________________________
