I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left.

I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five years later, in xx, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride.

I made him fortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You havent changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldnt remember where Id met him.

The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly. Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack- The first time I felf panic.Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the oute for us could hardly have been better. Im proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different oute.5.

You do the same things you did yesterday, the day before and every day for the last month. 16 The key is controlling them. If you know how to change your habits, then even a small effort can create big changes. Here are some tips to get you startedOne Habit For 30 DaysYou focus on one change for thirty days. 17 Ive used this as the basis for most of my habit changes. It definitely works to sculpt（使成形）the automatic programs that run in the background of your mind.Replace Lost NeedsIf you opened up your puter and started removing hardware, what would happen? Chances are that your puter wouldnt work. 18 Giving up television might mean you need to find a new way to relax or get information.Write it DownDont leave mitments（承诺）in your brain. 19 This does two things. First, it makes it clear what your change means. Second, it keeps you mitted since it is easy to dismiss a thought, but harder to dismiss a promise printed in front of you.Balance FeedbackThe difference between long-term change and giving up one day 31 is the balance of feedback. If your change creates more pain in your life than joy, it is going to be hard to stick to. 20_ Find diets, exercise, financial plans and work routines that are fun to follow and support you.A. Write them on paper.B. Habits, good or bad, make you who you are.C. Make a public mitment to everyone you know that youre going to stick with it.D. Make sure your habit is not always changed.E. Dont go to the gym if you hate it.F. Similarly, you cant just pull out habits without replacing the needs they fulfill.G. After that time it has been sufficiently conditioned to bee a habit.第二部分: 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。To celebrate the end of our exams, my friends and I went to a fast food restaurant.
