I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment. My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table. I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. Its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldnt be here. But then I thought about the fact that hes 84 years old and I realized that I shouldnt give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im doing the right thing. Im buying myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being. 4. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule? A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated. B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working. C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better. D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone. 5. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to _. A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor B. meet her father who was already an old man C. join in the holiday celebration of the company D. finish her work before the deadline approached6. The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _. A. abandoned B. tookC. avoidedD. wasted7. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Emotional Well-being B. The Two Saddest Words C. The Most Useful Rule D. The Peace of MindCIn the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, that they should live by the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world. The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “Ive been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I dont see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide. 8. Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana? A. They seldom follow the French law. B. They often ignore the Guianese law.C. They are separated from the modern world. D. They are both Guianese and French citizens.9. Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guianese as _.A. a tour guide B. a geographer C. a film director D. a photographer10. What is Gins attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Uninterested. D. Appreciative.11. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The modern French lifestyle. B. The self-supporting hunting.C. The uncivilized hunting. D. The French Republic.D When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier. These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,” said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.” Vaillants study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the mens mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores . Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems. The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly clear and definite. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working-at any age-is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence-the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isnt everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love ones work.”12. What do we know about John?A. He enjoyed his career and marriage. B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He received little love from his family. D. He was envied by others in his childhood.13. Vaillants words in Paragraph 2 serve as _.A. a description of personal values and social values B. an analysis of how work was related to competence(能力)C. an example for parents expectations of their children D. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men14. Vaillants team got their findings by _.A. recording the boys effort in school B. evaluating the mens mental healthC. comparing different sets of scores D. measuring the mens problem solving ability15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. competent adults know more about love than work. B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does. D. Independence is the key to ones success.How to Prepare a LectureBeing invited to give a lecture is an honor.It means that people regard you as an authority on a given field，subject，or issue.It means you are worth listening to._16_ You have to make sure your lecture is interesting，and full of wisdom，from which the audience can take valuable insights.This is why it is important for you to prepare your lecture well.1.Think of a good topic.You most likely will be assigned to talk about a certain topic.If thats the case，you only need to make an outline and do some research.But in some cases，you will have to think of your own topic.Although it gives you more freedom to do it，thinking of a topic can be tricky._17_ or pick a topic that is timely and socially relevant.2.Make an outline for the lecture.Start by listing down the points that you will discuss，and then fill in each point with subpoints.If necessary，make a research about your topic._18_ But if in doing so you end up with a very long outline，figure how you can shorten the topic or cut where cutting is needed.3._19_Statistics，figures，medical information，historical accounts，and similar information should all be checked and it will save your credibility as an authority on the subject you are talking about.4.Add humor.Dont engage your audience in a dragging soliloquy (独白)._20_ Humor will interest your audience.Of course，make sure the elements in your lecture are in line with your main topic and are not nonsense，racial，and offensive jokes.A.Check your lecture for accuracy.B.Giving a lecture is challenging，though.C.If necessary，provide your contact information，such as an email address or blog site.D.Instead，make your audience smile，or burst into laughter at certain points in your discussion.E.To make it easier，consider what will interest your audience.F.It should summarize your whole talk in one sentence.G.Dont be afraid of exploring the topic，as this will allow you to discover other points that need discussion.II完形填空（每题1.5分，共30分）A Heroic DriverLarry works with Transport Drivers, Inc.
