We all start out with plans about what our life will eventually look like. And those plans, obviously, don’t include disappointment in the road that each of us will surely face.
When we picture the future, we see only love, success and great friendships.
But sooner or later, we realize that life doesn’t go according to plan. Instead, after we’ve carefully made our plans, we meet the unexpected.
However, unexpected things are to be expected. And once we accept this fact of life, believe it or not, it is liberating(带来自由的).
Once we understand that no one’s life goes according to plan, then the difference between successful and unsuccessful people becomes clear. Successful people are good at handling disappointment, as they know that it’s part of life. And unsuccessful people let pain and disappointment take over.
I know people who talk about a divorce or the death of a loved one as if the event happened yesterday, even if it happened a decade or more ago.
It’s reasonable to experience pain at the time of a loss. However, it isn’t reasonable to keep feeling the pain of an experience that happened a really long time ago.
Most of us have suffered in the past, but past pain should have nothing to do with how we feel in the present-it is over and done with.
As for me, my focus is always on today and the future- that is how I live every day. I don’t need to remember the past, because I have accepted that my life doesn’t always go according to plan.
No one’s life goes according to plan. We all have periods of pain and suffering, which are natural parts of being alive. So don’t allow your past to define who you are. When you wake up each morning, just remember to make the most of the day ahead.
1. In what way are successful people different from others, according to the author?| A．They are more hopeful about the future. | B．They are working harder than others. |
| C．They can handle the unexpected better. | D．They are good at planning. |

I felt I must do something, and, as a single mother, I decided to come up with a plan that fitted my limited budget（预算）. I began by setting aside five to ten dollars and passing them out to those I met on the street each week.
Though a dollar felt like a small amount, I realized how powerful it was. For me, I recognized that those I passed by were people just like me. Sometimes we would joke a bit and smile together. On some occasions, I was able to give more. I don’t know how and if the dollars helped, but I know that the connections we made did.
One day after I had started this weekly practice, I had saved up enough to buy myself a new winter coat. With it around my shoulders, I realized that my old coat could still be put to use by someone who had little or nothing to protect them from the cold. However, at that moment, I felt inspired to pass on this opportunity for kindness. I turned to the salesman who had helped me, and asked if he would feel comfortable taking my old coat, walking to the corner, and offering it to someone in need. Slightly taken aback, he smiled. “I will as soon as I get a break,” he said. “Thanks for being so considerate.”
I can’t help but feel that my experiences with kindness have moved me to pass it on, and in this way, I feel I’ve helped more than just those I pass by on the street. Kindness touches many hearts, and I am grateful for the way it has touched mine.

【推荐3】The American book Who Moved My Cheese (奶酪) has been a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don’t be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.
Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.
The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese.
After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.

【推荐1】Many science fiction stories tell about explorers arriving in a new world. The explorers then use some kind of high-tech device to test for breathable air or signs of life. But here on Earth, science fiction is becoming reality through a new sampling technology called environmental DNA, or e-DNA for short. Scientists can use it to identify rare species or estimate fish populations with just a little air or water.
Environmental DNA can be used in two ways. One is to identify the creatures that live in a certain place. The other is to confirm the presence or lack of a specific creature.
Caren Goldberg is one of the first biologists in the northwestern United States to take the technology from the testing stage to actually using it. She sees e-DNA as a way to get answers more efficiently, and with less destruction compared to traditional survey techniques. Until recently, scientists depended on diving deep, netting or using an electric current to temporarily catch fish.
This newer way to identify what lives in the environment is becoming popular around the world. Animal experts in Vietnam are using the e-DNA to find the last, wild Yangtze giant softshell turtles. One researcher on the Caribbean island of Trinidad is using the sampling technology to find endangered golden tree-frogs. And in Madagascar, it is being used to identify amphibian (两栖动物) diseases.
Ms. Goldberg has used e-DNA testing to confirm the local extinction of a leopard frog in the American state of Idaho. She has also been asked to document the spread of the New Zealand mud-snail in the state of Washington. The creature has been found in lakes and other waterways across the state.
Scientists working with the technology say they do not expect robots to replace field biologists anytime soon. But the old-fashioned field work could soon be more targeted.

【推荐2】The American literature is from the Romanticism to the Realism.
The American Romanticism began from the end of the 18th century to the outbreak of the Civil War, which is also called the American Renaissance. The period is as well as the time of American Westward Expansion. During the period, there were lots of workforces crowding to the cities, which promoted the industry. The people found that they needed their own literature to record their experiences. So the Romanticism flourished.
The Romanticism in American literature focuses on imagination and emotional factors. The American writers paid more attention to the free expression of feelings and the characters’ inner world. During the romantic period, there were many writers: Philip Freneau, William Cullen Bryant and so on.
The Realism in American literature was from 1865 to 1914, and it takes on the American spirit, especially in American stories. The Realism against the Romanticism, advocates the people to come down to the earth and get rid of daydreams.
During the 50 years from the Civil War to the WWI, the America had experienced a great change on many aspects, such as the politics, economy, culture and religion. It had changed the nature and the idea of the American society. The writers of new age didn’t agree with the Romanticism of the old age.They were interested in real life and wanted to explain everything relating to the real life, which is to claim the objective reality, to get rid of idealism and Romanticism.
There were 3 main writers at that time: William Peanoweils, Henry James and Mark Twain. Their writings represented the American native customs with their deep rural styles,which uncovered the people's inner life.

【推荐3】A new rule has been passed that will protect more than 50 of the world’s shark species, many of which are endangered. The deal was signed by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which manages how people deal in plants and animals. Most of the world’s countries are members of CITES. The deal puts 60 shark species under the protection of CITES.
One of the reasons sharks are endangered is that they are hunted for their fins (鳍), which are used in shark fin soup. The sharks that are hunted most for their fins include blue and tiger sharks. Thanks to this agreement, around 95% of sharks that people catch for their fins are now protected. This means that anyone trying to buy or sell these types of sharks must show an official document. These official documents will only be given to people or companies who have proved to scientists that their business doesn’t endanger wildlife or damage the ocean.
Conservationists hope the deal will protect biodiversity in the sea. Sharks are very important for this because they are usually apex animals that hunt, kill and eat other animals. That means they are at the highest point of the “food chain” — in other words, nothing else eats them. If sharks were to disappear, it would seriously affect sea life lower down the food chain, as some species’ numbers would increase fast. This could affect the delicate balance of all sea life.
Some biologists have criticised the new rule. They think that making it harder to fish for sharks will make their fins even more expensive, which would encourage illegal fishing. However, Shawn Heinichs from Only One, a group that campaigns to protect the ocean, called it “The biggest win in the history of ocean species”.
1. Why is the new deal made?| A．To control the trade in sharks. | B．To preserve biodiversity in the sea. |
| C．To ban people from fishing for sharks. | D．To protect endangered plants and animals. |
| A．Frightening. | B．Major. | C．Dangerous. | D．Top. |
| A．It can prevent illegal fishing. | B．It is a debatable deal. |
| C．It does wonders for ocean species. | D．It is questioned by most biologists. |

【推荐1】Growing up in England with a British father and a Chinese mother, I’ve enjoyed food from both countries ever since I was able to hold a knife and fork and chopsticks!
Mum has sweet memories of the food from her home town in Sichuan, and often cooks spicy dishes. Thanks to this, Dad has come to love hot pot! But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try even after many years of marriage to my mother. Even today he still does not take to eating things like chicken feet.
But I enjoy that sort of food myself. Last week, I went to the butcher’s and asked, “Do you have pigs’ ears?” “No,” the butcher said, pulling at his own ears, “just these ordinary ones.” He must have thought I was joking.
Dad can cook a super “full English breakfast” of bacon, eggs, beans, sausages and toast with butter. Mum and I just have to find a way to get him into the kitchen! He also does a typical Sunday roast. We all love roast beef and vegetables.
I’ll never forget my first visit to China. Mum encouraged me to try different kinds of food. But just when I thought I could deal with all Chinese food, I came across stinky tofu, a horrible grey thing that looked and smelt like a burnt sports shoe. I gathered all my courage to take a bite and was amazed to find it wasn’t so bad. It reminded me of blue cheese, a similarly strong smelling type of food you either love or hate. Maybe I’ll fall in love with stinky tofu, someday.
People say that one man’s meat is another man’s poison, but I feel at home with food from both my cultures.
1. What can we learn from this passage?| A．I have enjoyed the food from two cultures since a little child. |

【推荐2】Given Europe’s high concentration of gorgeous big cities and world-class art museums, it is easy to completely overlook the continent’s abundance of small, quiet villages and towns. However, if you are after relaxation, peaceful country walks, beautiful architecture and opportunities for cultural appreciation on your next trip across the pond, consider cutting down some of your city time and head out to a village instead. Here are four of the most charming villages in Europe, along with our top picks for places to stay in each.
Eze in Cota D’Azur, France
Set on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Provencal township of Eze is easily one of the most picturesque spots in the region. It is largely a tourist destination, and many of its buildings dates back to the Middle Age. In fact, Eze is particularly popular with couples seeking romantic solitude.
Hotel pick: Chateau de la Chevre
Baden-Baden in Wurttemberg, Germany
Germany’s best-known spa town, Baden-Baden, in the Black Forest of Baden-Wurttemberg, has been a popular spot for soaking in mineral-rich waters off and on since the Roman era. And while spa treatments and hot springs are still among the most popular draws for tourists, there are also plenty of museums, gardens, performing arts venues and charming old buildings and churches.
Hotel pick: Hotel Belle Epoque
Montepulciano in Tuscany, Italy
Spread over a hilltop nearly 2,000 metres above sea level, the Tuscan village of Montepulciano offers gorgeous Renaissance architecture as well as opportunities to visit wine companies. Surrounded by strong walls dating back to the 14th century, the village features a handful of churches and public squares.
Hotel pick: Etruria Resort
Oia in Santorini, Greece
Oia is undoubtedly the most charming village on the beautiful Greek island of Santorini. This oft-photographed cliffside town is best known as a sunset-viewing spot, but it is fantastic any time of day thanks to its abundance of typical whitewashed structures topped with blue domes plus its fabulous views out onto the Aegean Sea.
Hotel pick: Hotel Aspaki

【推荐3】A customer stands on the other side of the counter at my work, eyeing the menu. “The food here is so caloric,” she complains, and then looks at me. “You don’t eat here, do you? It certainly doesn’t look like it.” My face turned red.
I’m not quite used to how others see me. Since June 2018, I’ve lost almost 50 pounds. When I made the choice to change my body physically, everyone around me told me that I would be happier: Skinny meant pretty, and pretty meant happy and satisfied. After looking through dozens of before-and-after changes on Instagram and other social media, I was more eager to make myself smaller, to better fit into the world. But none of that happened. I didn’t feel more whole, or more peaceful. More than anything, I felt lied to.
Human health is unbelievably complex, and there’s so much more to our well-being than caloric balance. For several months, I often felt very tired and got angry easily, convinced that my body was a machine and I had to hard-wire it to look as physically perfect as possible. But at the end of the day, I realized that saying no to my body’s natural desire only left me feeling upset.
Our world is filled with losing weight. Nearly every time I listen to the radio, I hear some ads criticizing empty promises of giving you a better body, achieved only by this gym membership/ this prepackaged Keto shake/ this waist trainer. These all live by the same message: That food is dangerous, and the less we eat, the better off we are. In extreme cases, this message can lead to eating disorders, which will affect over 30 million people in their lifetimes, according to the Body Image Therapy Center.
These ideas could not be further from the truth. We eat food for a reason: It gives us energy, it keeps our body functioning, and it makes us human. I urge everybody to adopt a diet based on sustainability (可持续发展), to eat for energy, based on what makes us happy. We all deserve healthy relationships with food and mindful eating is the best place to start.

【推荐1】What a Messy Desk Says About You
For some time, psychologists have been studying how personality traits affect health and health-related choices. Not surprisingly, they have found that people blessed with innate conscientiousness, meaning that they are organized and predictable, typically eat better and live longer than people who are disorderly. They also tend to have immaculate offices.
What has been less clear is whether neat environments can produce good habits even in those who aren’t necessarily innately conscientious. To find out, researchers at the University of Minnesota conducted a series of experiments. In the first experiment, they randomly assigned a group of college-age students to spend time in two office spaces, one of which was very neat, the other wildly cluttered (乱堆) with papers and other work-related stuff. The students spent their time filling out questionnaires unrelated to the study. After 10 minutes, they were told they could leave with an apple or a chocolate bar. Those students who sat in the orderly office were twice as likely to choose the apple as those who sat among the mess.
A second experiment, however, found that working in chaos has its advantages, too. In this one, college students were placed in a messy or a neat office and asked to dream up new uses for Ping-Pong balls. Those in messy spaces generated ideas that were significantly more creative, according to two independent judges, than those in offices where stacks of papers and other objects were neatly arranged.
The results were something of a surprise, says Dr. Vohs, the leader of the study. Few previous studies found much virtue in disorder. The broken window theory, proposed decades ago, holds that even slight disorder and neglect can encourage indifference and poor discipline.
But in the study by Dr. Vohs, disordered offices encouraged originality and a search for novelty. In the final portion of the study, adults were given the choice of adding a health “boost” to their lunchtime smoothie that was labeled either “new” or “classic.” The volunteers in the messy space were far more likely to choose the new one; those in the tidy office generally chose the classic version. “Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition,” Dr. Vohs and her co-authors conclude in the study, “which can produce fresh insights.”
The implications of these findings are also practical. “My advice would be, if you need to think outside the box for a future project”, Dr. Vohs says, “then let the clutter rise and free your imagination. But if your primary goal is to eat well or to go to the gym, pick up around your office first. By doing this, the naturally messy can acquire some of the discipline of the conscientious.”

【推荐2】If you live in a city, then it's easy to take internet connectivity for granted, but in more rural areas，it is a different story. Connectivity is uneven. As of 2018, the last time figures were published, seven per cent of rural households could not access broadband faster than lOmbps，despite the average speed in cities being 52mbps. Around the wcrld, there are still huge areas of territory, from deserts to oceans, that the internet is still yet to reach.
But the urban/rural divide could be set to disappear over the next few years thanks to rocket company Spacex and an astonishingly ambitious project called Starlink. The aim is to use thousands of satellites in orbit above our heads to deliver broadband-comparable internet speeds to literally everywhere on Earth, with no need for expensive wires, transmitters or other infrastructure on the ground. Claims have been made that it could reach speeds of up to lGbps, which is 20 times faster than what most British homes receive today.
Spacex will need to launch thousands of satellites to fully complete the network over the Earth. At present, there are only around 2,000 or so other satellites in Lower Earth Orbit in total. So if Starlink's ambitions are realised, it could double or triple the number of satellites in orbit. So far, just over 700 have been successfully launched by the company and the first internet connections using the system are already being tested.
It is likely that over the next few years, Starlink could begin to offer ground-station satellite receivers that will connect to' the satellites and then, in turn. you could connect your computer or phone to that However, not everyone loves Starlink. There is one drawback to having so many satellites in orbit around the Earth : they risk making life a lot more difficult for astronomers
Ultimately though, for all of the protestations, it is surely unavoidable that Starlink, will become an essential part of Earth's telecommunications backbone. The obvious usefulness of such a network 'would be just too exciting for governments, businesses ,and individuals to resist. The urban/rural digital divide will no longer exist.
1. The word "uneven" in Para. 1 is closest in meaning to .| A．various | B．slow |

【推荐3】Many of us are quick to blame（责备）others for how we feel: "He makes me so mad!" or "he really hurt my feelings. "But did someone really "make me angry" or are we feeling the anger in us getting kicked up in response to the way someone behaved towards us?
The difference between the two is in who the responsible party is for the way we feel. If we blame others for our feelings we will finally feel reasonable at whatever our retaliation（报复）my be, and we will explain that it was their fault, not ours. "They were driving me mad".
When we blame others for the way we feel we have in fact given power to others for the state of our emotional wellbeing（健康）. The truth is , no one controls our feelings but us. If we are finding that people in our lives really know how to "push our buttons（means make us angry）" then we are not doing a good enough job at protecting our "buttons." We are the ones leaving our buttons out in the open so that other people can "push them." Ultimately, the switch for our buttons is inside us - not on the outside.
While there are some things in life that are clearly out of our control , like the weather or a flight that's two hours late, how we act and respond to other people's behavior is not among them. Our responses to others are well within our control.
If someone is "making us" so mad , for example, that we get angry, we are not doing enough to learn about what drives our anger and how to properly cope with it. My suggestion is taking time before you get angry. and putting some work into taking an inventory（清单）of the past. An inventory can show you how much of your past experiences influence your feeling reactions in the current moment.
When we finally realize that so much of our present feelings and reactions are driven from within ourselves and our own past experiences, we will be ready to make the changes in our lives that will better secure our buttons so that they are no longer left out in pubic for everyone to push at will.

| A．We should blame others for the way we feel. |
| B．We should enable others to control our feelings. |
