小题2: G
【试题解析】根据前面一句The government gave a patent to an engineer named Edward Claghorn of New York City so that others would not copy his invention of a safety device.这一句交代安全带的发明者申请了专利，接下来这一句应该是发明者对这一发明的命名。故G项符合上下文。
小题3: F

小题4: C
【试题解析】根据前一句His invention contained a cloth strap（带子）that was placed across the chest and another strap across his hips可知是在叙述现在的安全带的式样，C项The design joined the straps next to the hip.与上下文相符。
小题5: A

If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don’t need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob. Who are they? Are they mobs (暴民)? 小题1: Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly separate.
A flash mob is usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks. 小题2: At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some tasks such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds. Then, they quickly disappear before the police can arrive.
Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harper’s Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gathered on June 3, 2003 at Macy’s department store. More than one hundred people stepped onto the ninth floor carpet department of Macy’s department store, gathering around an expensive carpet. Following this flash mob, about 200 people flooded the lounge of the Hyatt hotel and applauded for about fifteen seconds. 小题3:

小题5: People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jackson’s fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered outside the railway station in Liverpool.

When we hold onto regrets from decisions we have made, it can really poison our well-being. Many people regret something they can no longer change, which ends up holding them back from moving forward in a more positive manner. 小题3: so work to stay present and be mindful of the cur- rent moment to find more joy and fulfillment.
When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life ,we are likely to be less satisfied. Social parisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others. but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. 小题4:
When you focus on your big ambitions and future goals, you might neglect the daily pleasures that surround you. 小题5: Stay present and focus on the task you"re undertaking at the moment .Don"t let the life pass you by because you"re always on the go and distracted by ambitions.
