Some people have unforgettable past memories that make them sad and angry. Well, to deal with this, I suggest that you pick yourself up and move ahead. It is easier said than done! So here are a few ways to bring about the change.

Do something you really love doing. We all have interest in what we love working on, but most of us don’t have any time to do anything about them. Well, this is your time to do that! It’ll take your mind away from whatever is making you unhappy and of course it’ll help you remember your happy days in the past when you used to relax more often.

Think long and hard. I’m sure you must be doing this already, but I want you to think about the effect that forgiving other people could have. Think about whether you are ready to accept the changes this might bring.

Write about your feelings. Most people are too lazy to write, but it is often the best way to clear your mind. Write about your experiences and then forget about your past memories. On the Internet there are thousands of places where you can list out all your experiences without writing down your real name.

Make a start on this and I’m sure the frequency of your worries will decrease soon enough.

Many people believe the glare from snow causes snow-blindness. Yet, dark glasses or not , they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snow-blindness, when exposed to several hours of “snow light”. The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snow-blindness in troops in a snow-covered country. Rather, a man's eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad expanse of barren (少植被的) snow-covered terrain (地形). So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature eases this irritation by producing more fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid covers the eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs (模糊), then is obscured (遮蔽), and the result is total, even though temporary, snow-blindness.

Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see, stop scouring the snow-blanketed landscape. By focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross the snow without becoming hopelessly snow-blind or lost. In this way the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is overcome.

1. To prevent headaches, watering eyes and blindness caused by the glare from snow, dark

glasses are _________.

A. indispensable and essential   B. useful                 C. ineffective            D. available

2. When the eyes are sore tears are produced to _________.

A. balance the pain                                         B. treat snow-blindness 

C. clear the vision                                            D. loosen the muscles 

3. Snow-blindness may be avoided by _________.

A. concentrating on the solid white terrain

B. searching for something to look at in snow-covered terrain

C. providing the eyes with something to focus on

D. covering the eyeballs with more fluid 

4. The scouts shake snow from evergreen bushes in order to _________.

A. prevent the men behind losing their way 

B. beautify the landscape of the terrain

C. warm themselves in the severe cold

D. give the men behind something to see

5. A suitable title for this passage would be _________.

A. nature's cure for snow-blindness       B. snow-blindness and how to overcome it

C. soldiers marching in the snow       D. snow vision and its effect on eyesight

Mr. Hart, a London taxi driver, has a new black taxi. With his taxi, he hurries through the busy streets every day.

    One day when he was having a short rest, a young man jumped into his taxi.

    "To the station as fast as you can," shouted the man in a very unfriendly way. "My train leaves at three o'clock."

    Mr. Hart did his best, but there was a lot of traffic. At every corner there was a red light.

    "Hurry up, man! I don't want to miss my train," said the young man.

    "And I don't want to have an accident," replied Mr. Hart quickly.

    While he was driving, Mr. Hart suddenly recognized the man's face. He was a thief. The police were looking for him. His picture was in the newspapers. Mr. Hart raced through the street and drove through red lights. Soon there was a police car behind him. Mr. Hart raced on until he reached the station. He stopped in front of the station at two minutes to three, and the young man quickly jumped out of the taxi.

    "Stop! Stop!" cried Mr. Hart. At that moment the police car stopped, too. "Quick! He is the thief!" shouted Mr Hart. Two policemen rushed into the station. Three minutes later they returned with the young man.

Guandong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsingbua University; when the highest enrollment （錄取）rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.

Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.

It’s no doubt to call this HK craze（狂熱）,which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.

How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?

First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum of scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.

Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual（雙語(yǔ)）education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.

Further more, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.

Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.

The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.

At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees（學(xué)費(fèi)）are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.

46．What is the passage mainly talking about?

       A．Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities.

       B．Higher education in Hong Kong.

       C．The competition between HK University and Peking University.

       D．The fall of mainland universities.

47. Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because         .

       A．many students now would love to study aboard to get a better experience

       B．they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities

       C．HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study

       D．Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation

48．What is the author’s attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities?

       A．The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.

       B．Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.

       C．Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.

       D．It may probably cause a complete loss both sides in the end.

49．From the passage we can see HK universities           .

       A．didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainland

       B．didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular

       C．have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there

       D．a(chǎn)re proud of their teaching staff and facilities

50．What does the author mean by saying “It’s time to move” in the last paragraph?

       A．Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.

       B．The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.

       C．Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities.
