Life is full of various experiences, some of them are unforgettable.I still remember the hiking experiences with my classmates for 16 km a year before.That summer day,we set off early in the morning,think it would be great fun to walk for so long a distance. However,with the weather is getting hotter and hotter,I found their legs heavier and heavier.What's worse,my feet began bleeding because long time pressing against the shoes.At one point,I even thought of giving up.But I managed to dragging the rest of the way to the destination.Though not pleasant, this journey was impressive or rewarding. I have learned life is a long journey like this.No matter what happened,we should never give up.

2 . The first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.

In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results.

Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, the fallout from second-guessing appears especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes (中风). However, if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.

These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.

But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. ''Overreaction to Fearsome Risks'' holds true for broader society.

For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.

Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational (不理性的) thinking when processing information, bad events and mistakes. As much as we don't want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again, we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesn't necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.

I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too.

3 . Last summer, I had to stay in the room during the period of my recovery from cancer after the operation. It was unexpected that life highlighted everything that I might tend to take for granted in the normal course.

On the first morning, my children presented me a coffee pot. I liked to begin the day with a cup of coffee and was eager to try the pot.

When I made coffee, it spilled out over the whole table. Fortunately, nobody was there to see my embarrassed look! I kept trying, but each morning would see me wiping up the coffee. Then I realized that if I poured very slowly there would be no spilling.

This was at first a very painful experience. My normal practice was to rush through breakfast so that I could get on with my day. But at that moment I learned not only to pour slowly but to enjoy the experience: the smell, the taste, and the stillness of a new day.

It helped me to reflect upon whether there were other areas of my life 1 was rushing through. Most of life, it seemed. Strangely, those we consider loved ones may go of radar(雷达)when we would expect them to enquire about our well-being. However, others we seldom keep in touch with came into our lives suddenly, full of concern, well-meaning advice and love.

After the recovery period, I started to leave extra time to do even the most ordinary tasks. When shop owners would apologize for keeping me waiting, I would say, "Not a problem, I'm not in a hurry." Even hanging out washing became pleasurable when a couple of extra minutes of standing still, and listening to the birds singing in the trees around me became part of my routine.

Besides, one of my favorite experiences living in the inner city for many years was sitting on the front doorstep of our home spending time with strangers. We sat on the steps, each of us with a cup of coffee in our hands, listening to each other's stories. It was one of the warmest things about living in a busy city.

1. What was the author's life like before the time of recovery from the illness?

A．Awkward.	B．Relaxing.
C．Hurried.	D．Thrilling.

2. How did the author enjoy the pouring-coffee experience?

A．By pilling coffee over the table.	B．By buying a new pot.
C．By chatting with the strangers.	D．By pouring coffee slowly.

3. What happened when the author changed her lifestyle?

A．She had more time for reflecting on her past.

B．She found joy in ordinary daily activities.

C．She became impatient with any shop owner.

D．She liked listening to mysteries in busy cities.

4. What is the main purpose of this article?

A．To tell people how to make coffee tasty.

B．To advocate enjoying slow-paced life.

C．To show the gift from her children.

D．To recommend making friends with others.

My secret of staying young is simple: Keeping your mind awake and you will stay young all over. Take an interest in the world around you, and learn at least a new thing every day. Don’t think that you are ever too older to go back to school. I know a man entered a medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became famous doctor. Other man, with his children encouragement, went to a law school when he was 71 and is now an active lawyer. You may never say that staying young is easy only for those living in the future. In fact, you could do it if you care enough to try to keep your mind awake and active, what is the only way to be always young.

6 . About six years ago I began my job as an IT consultant. I had always been quite good with computers. It was a great move for me, as I quickly learned a ton. Every day was fun. It was one of the best and most challenging jobs I’ve ever had.

Flash-forward a few years and things started to taper. I wasn’t learning as much as before. I felt a desire to try something different, to strike out on my own. I couldn’t get up the courage to make any moves. The job paid very well; I had a lot of freedom, and great benefits. I had grown comfortable and accustomed to an easy life.

Last year things came to a head, I was having a particularly stressful month, overloaded with work that was neither challenging nor interesting. I had enough. I reached out to my boss and let him know that I was done. We had a meeting about my decision. He didn’t want to lose me. He addressed my concerns and we agreed that I could change my job and begin working on some new internal organizational systems. I decided to give this new role a chance.

Now, a year after my role change, not much is different. Senior staff did not adopt the new systems I built. The work is still uninspiring and unchallenging. I’m comfortable, but comfort to me has become terrible. Change can be very difficult for some and after spending time trying to carry out new solutions, I’ve realized that you simply can’t change other people if they don’t want it.

I’ve again quit my job. It’s both liberating and frightening. I need a greater challenge. I’ve learned a lot

from my quitting experience. Here are some signs that it might be time to quit your job.

I happened to face loneliness and difficulties    1    made me dull for a while.

I had built walls around myself and was keeping my distance (having dutiful relations, not friendly connections) with a few people (this even included family members) because    5    holding small hatred against them.
