frustrated (沮丧的)because our children are not old enough and that all will be well when they are older.
Then we are frustrated because they reach teenage years and we must deal with them. Surely we"ll be
happier when they grow out of the teen years.
We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse (配偶) gets his/her act together, when we
have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we finally retire. The truth is that there is no better
time to be happy than right now. If not, then when? Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better
to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all.
For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start-real life.
But there were always some obstacles (挫折) along the way, an ordeal (苦难) to get through, some
work to be finished, some time to be given, a bill to be paid. Then life would start. It finally occurred to
me that that those obstacles were part of life. Little by little, that point of view also helped me see that
there isn"t any road to happiness.
Happiness is the road. So, enjoy every moment. And keep in mind that __________. So stop waiting
for school to end, for a return to school, to lose ten pounds, to gain ten pounds, for work to begin, to
get married, for Friday evening, for Sunday morning, waiting for a new car, for your mortgage (借款) to
be paid off, for spring, for summer, for fall, for winter, for the first or the fifteenth of the month, for your
song to be played on the radio, to die, to be reborn… before deciding to be happy.
Happiness is a voyage, not a destination. There is no better time to be happy than… NOW! Live and
enjoy the moment!
B. Happiness is a Destination
C. Happiness is a Dream
D. Happiness is a Process

spend Christmas, New Year, and Chinese New Year in Sydney. All hotels in Sydney are also prepared
for business activities. The Christmas spirit is more wonderful when evening falls. Nightlife in Sydney is
full of energy, but during holidays it owns a special taste.
White sandy beaches are located only within a short walk from hotels. You will find beach barbecues (烧烤), surfing, and diving under the sea very enjoyable. There are also public street festivals such as
Chinese New Year between January and February. You need to book hotels in advance because they
are often filled fast.
Running from Christmas to the New Year, numerous musical events are held in different locations,
from hotel restaurants to the Royal Botanical Gardens. Christmas carol (欢歌) performances are free
for visitors to enjoy when the Sydney Youth Orchestra plays at the Royal Botanical Gardens.
Chinese New Year is one of Sydney"s annual Attractions. 500,000 people will gather in the city, so if
you are traveling to Sydney, this is a reason to extend your vacations. Hotels near Belmore Park offer
food events during Chinese New Year, and Darling Harbor runs traditional Dragon Boat Races. Others
offer tours to the Sze Yup Temple, a Taoist (道教) Church located in Evergreen.
Seasonal food is also offered at the restaurants, cafes, and room service. In addition, New Year brings
the opportunity to celebrate dining with other guests at your hotel.
B. In a student"s geography book.
C. In a newspaper.
D. In a popular youth magazine.
B. Surfing.
C. Camping.
D. Running.
B. Darling Harbor
C. Belmore Park
D. Royal Botanical Gardens
B. the life in the night is worse in holidays in Sydney
C. a visitor will own a no longer lonely dinner in the New Year
D. a visitor can join in the traditional Dragon Boat Races by himself
play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even
love.
Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer
screen. Identity (身份) and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person"s thoughts or at
least the thoughts they type are what really counts. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room
star.
Usually, this "faceless" communication doesn"t create problems. Identity doesn"t really matter when
you are in a chat-room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis (重视) on the idea themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together
to chat?
Some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They are looking for serious love
relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of
these relationships actually succeed. Others end in tears. Supporters of online relationships claim that the
Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are first. Personal appearance doesn"t get in the way.
But critics (批评者) of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in
cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet
users can carefully choose their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don"t have to
worry about what their non-verbal communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they"re not really
themselves. All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a
big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it"s easy to let one"s imagination "fall in the
blanks". This surely leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an
online friend is often quite different from the real person.
So before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll,
"Life in the real world is far richer than anything you"ll find on a computer screen."
B. Internet users can choose words to create any image they like.
C. The Internet allows couples to know how intelligent they are.
D. In a sense, Internet users are not really themselves.
a person"s ________.
B. thoughts typed on the screen
C. knowledge and appearance
D. identity shown in the chat
B. forming personal relationship in cyberspace.
C. having exciting conversations online.
D. knowing a person in a love relationship.
B. Disinterested
C. Interested
D. Negative
的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter "i"-and many other brands are
following suit. (仿效) The BBC"s I Player-which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the
Internet-adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear-popular in the US and UK-that plays music and video is
called "I Teddy". A slimmed- down version of London"s Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name "i".
In general, single-letter prefixes (前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.
Most "i" products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent"s"i", it"s no surprise that they"ve selected this fashionable name.
But it"s hard to see what"s so special about the letter "i". Why not use "a", "b",or "c" instead? According
to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King"s College, London, "i" works because its meaning
has become ambiguous. When Apple uses "i", no one knows whether it means Internet, information,
individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. "Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it
didn"t have one clear definition,"he says.
"However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability (轻便),"adds Thorne.
Clearly the letter "i" also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual.
Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.
Along with "Google" and "blog", readers of BBC Magazines voted "i" as one of the top 20 words that
have come to define the last decade.
But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with"2000"in
their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern.
However,
as we entered the new century, the trend disappeared.
B. old readers
C. fashionable women
D. engineers
B. uncertain
C. definite
D. fashionable
B. environmentally friendly
C. advanced
D. recyclable
B. the popularity of "i" products may not last long
C. the letter "b" replaces letter "i" to name the products
D. I Teddy is a live bear
Many cities have slogans (宣传标语) to attract you to visit and spend your tourist money. These are
usually written by a travel agency, and no matter how clever or well thought out, they often fall on the deaf ears of experienced travelers. But there are proverbs that are time-tested-like this one, which translates
to: Up in the sky there is heaven, down on earth there is Suzhou and Hangzhou.
That"s a pretty bold declaration (宣言) when you consider the size of China and the many beautiful
places to see within its borders. Yet, Suzhou"s beauty has won it boasting (自夸) rights.
Suzhou, built in 514 BC, has a storied past. Marco Polo spent time there in 1276 while on the Silk
Road. Sun Tzu wrote The Art of War in Suzhou when it was the kingdom of Wu.
While famous for its gardens, Suzhou has long been inspirational to artists, musicians and craftsmen.
There is far more to Suzhou than its gardens - respect for art, just for starters.
There is a peaceful air that reflects the spirit of the area. You can see that it is a city trying to remain
very livable and keep its beauty even as it grows.
Perhaps it"s the smiles you see on the streets, or maybe the way they take care of the elderly in the
city. Maybe it is the way they promote art and culture as the government provides studio space for artists
to work on their traditional skills - or it could be that there are pockets of beauty all over the city.
You don"t have to go far to find one of these to escape the honking horns (汽车喇叭响) or the
electric bikes, and find your own little piece of Heaven on Earth.
B. are noticed
C. are paid much attention to
D. are understood
B. A travel agency wrote the slogan.
C. It matches reality.
D. It is meaningless.
B. its convenient facilities
C. the beautiful gardens in the city
D. the atmosphere and spirit of the city.
B. Drivers are not allowed to honk in Suzhou.
C. Its has a history of over 2000 years.
D. The large number of tourist visitors has affected its culture.
Take iron used in electrical 2 for example, when heated in 3 , it will react slowly. When it is put
together with water or 4 , there will be a 5 reaction.
