【題目】Many people believe that they will be happy once they arrive at some specific goal they set for themselves. However, more often than not, once you arrive “there” you will still feel dissatisfied, and move your “there” vision to yet another point in the future. By always chasing (追尋) after another “there”, you are never really appreciating what you already have right “here”. It is important for human beings to keep sober-minded(頭腦清醒的) about the age-old drive to look beyond the place where you now stand. On one hand, your life is developed by your dreams and aspirations (抱負). On the other hand, these drives can pull you farther and farther from your enjoyment of your life right now.

To be grateful means you are thankful for what you have right now. Gratitude (感激) fills your heart with the joyful feeling and allows you to fully appreciate everything that arises on your path. As you try hard to keep your focus on the present moment, you can experience the full wonder of “here”.

There are many ways to develop gratitude. Here are just a few suggestions you may wish to try:

◆ Imagine what your life would be like if you lost all that you had. This will most surely remind you of how much you do appreciate it.

◆ Make a list each day of all that you are grateful for, so that you can stay conscious (有意識的) daily of your blessings. Do this especially when you are feeling as though you have nothing to feel grateful for. Or spend a few minutes before you go to sleep giving thanks for all that you have.

◆ Spend time offering assistance (幫助) to those who are less fortunate than you, so that you may gain a new perspective (觀點).

What really matters is that you create a space in your consciousness for appreciation for all that you have right now, so that you may live more happily in your present moment.

【1】According to the first paragraph we know ___________.

A． many people feel satisfied with what they have right now

B． aspirations can pull a person farther from his present life

C． none can be sober-minded about his dreams and aspirations

D． we should be busy with chasing one after another “there”

【2】Gratitude can NOT ____________.

A． fill your heart with happy feelings

B． allow you to fully appreciate your “here”

C． make people experience the wonder of “here”

D． drive people to give up their future

【3】If we want to develop gratitude, we should better NOT____________.

A． check out what we lose everyday

B． give thanks for all that we have before sleeping

C． help others who are less fortunate than us

D． make a list each day of all that we should thank for

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】A

【解析】

試題分析:本文講述的是人們總是會被利益欲望驅(qū)使，不知道滿足，而心存感恩，你的心靈就充滿愉悅，你就能真正領(lǐng)會人生路上的種種體驗。感恩之心需要經(jīng)常加強。

【1】B推理判斷題。第一段講述的是人總是疲于追逐一個又一個的彼岸，從未真正欣賞、珍惜已經(jīng)擁有的一切，不能接近生活在現(xiàn)實。故選B。

【2】D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Gratitude (感激) fills your heart with the joyful feeling and allows you to fully appreciate everything that arises on your path. As you try hard to keep your focus on the present moment, you can experience the full wonder of “here”.可知心存感恩，你的心靈就充滿愉悅，你就能真正領(lǐng)會人生路上的種種體驗。如果你努力把眼光鎖定在此時此刻，你就能感受它的美妙之處。故選D。

【3】A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章提出的三點建議：想象你的生活會像如果你失去你擁有的一切。這將是最肯定會提醒你有多么的欣賞它。每天列出所有你感激的事物，這樣你可以保持清醒。（幫助）花時間幫助那些沒有你那么幸運的人，這樣你可能會獲得一個新的視角（觀點）。故選A。

Building Trust in a Relationship Again

Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences, 【1】. Trust is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.

Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore, 【2】 . It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.

You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 【5】 instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.

A.Learn to really trust yourself.

Everyone wants love, money, success and so on in life. Yet too many people fail to achieve their goals, and nearly all of them are for the same reason. Generally speaking, getting what you really want out of life is just a matter of the following simple steps.

【題目】The oldest and most common source(來源) of renewable energy known to man, biomass is one of the most important forms energy production in the United States and elsewhere. Since such a wide variety of biomass materials is everywhere ---- from trees and grasses to agricultural and city ---- life wastes ----biomass promises to play a continuing role in providing power and heat for millions of people around the world.

According to the Union of Concerned Scientists(UCS), biomass is a kind of renewable energy source that produces no carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), because the energy it contains comes from the sun. When plant matter is burned, it gives off the sun’s energy. In this way, biomass serves as a sort of natural battery(電池) for storing the sun’s energy. As long as biomass is produced continuously ----with only as much grown as is used--- the “battery” lasts forever.

According to the Energy Information Administration, biomass has been one of the leading renewable energy sources in the United States for several years running through 2007, making up between 0.5 and 0.9 percent of the nation’s total electricity supply. In 2008----although the numbers aren’t all in yet----wind power probably took over first place because of the rapid development of wind farms across the country.

Producing power from biomass helps reduce some 11 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Some homeowners also try to make their own heat by using biomass materials. Such practice may save homeowner’s money, but it also produces a lot of pollution. So, the best way is to encourage power plants to use it.

【1】Why is biomass considered as “ a sort of natural battery”?

A. It burns merely plant matter.

B. It keeps producing electricity.

C. It stores the energy from the sun.

D. It produces zero carbon dioxide.

【2】We learn from the text that in 2008 ______.

A. Wind power would be the leader of renewable energy.

B. there was a rapid growth of electricity production

C. biomass might become the main energy source

D. 0.5~0.9 of power supply came from biomass

【3】Why does the author encourage power plants to use biomass?

A. To prevent the waste of energy.

B. To increase production safety.

C. To reduce pollution.

D. To save money.

【4】Where does the text probably come from?

A. A research plan. B. A science magazine

C. A book review. D. A business report.
