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 es 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 pany 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.24. Why does the writer regard “if only” as two of the saddest words in the English language? A. Because people use them when they feel sad B. Because they express regrets and disappointment in life C. Because the remind the writer of some sad experiences D. Because they mean sadness in the English language25. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3? A. given upB. e acrossC. got throughD. held back26. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to _. A. see a doctorB. finish her work C. join a celebrationD. acpany her father27. What is the best title for the passage? A. Advice from My FatherB. Avoidance of saying “If Only” C. The “Extra Minute” RuleD. The importance of Emotional Well-beingCA California family drives a car that could help protect the environment. When Jon and Sandy go to the store or to their daughters soccer games, they drive in high-tech style. They drive a $1 million, fuel-cell-powered car. It may be the worlds most expensive car and one of the most environmentally friendly cars. The FCX is the first fuel-cell-powered car to be used by a family anywhere in the world. The FCX uses hydrogen and oxygen for fuel.Car makers have been working to develop vehicles that are better for the environment. They are developing cars that use fuel other than gasoline. And then what is fuel cell technology? Fuel cell technology works by changing the chemicals hydrogen and oxygen into water. This process produces electricity, and water vapor which es out of the exhaust pipe. Most cars release dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Many scientists say these gases are major contributors to global warming. “The FCX is driven just like any other vehicle on the road, but without the gases which pollute the environment,” scientists say. Fuel cell technology has been around since the 1800s, but scientists have yet been to perfect it. They say it may take years before the technology is ready for widespread use. Another earth-friendly car is already on the market. Hybrid cars use both gasoline and an electric motor. They are being more popular with customers because they cut pollution and improve fuel efficiency.28. Which of the following about the FCX is not true?A. It lets out dangerous gases to pollute the air.B. It may be the most expensive car in the world.C. It is one of the most environmentally friendly cars.D. It uses hydrogen and oxygen for fuel other than gasoline.29. According to the passage, what is the major cause for global warming?A. gases from FCX.C. hydrogen and oxygen.B. gases from cars.D. water vapor from cars.30.From the passage, we know that fuel cell technology _.A. works by waterB. works by electricityC. has been widely used since the 1800sD. has a history for over two hundred years31. What can we infer from the passage?A. there will be no gasoline for cars.B. global warming has been stopped. C. people cant afford to buy cars in the future.D. future cars will be environmentally friendly. DAccording to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel.The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society: Open Science. Show the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the image for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined by about 15 percent the same rate at which a humans ability to perform the same task declines.“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent, individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “Weve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, parable with those of humans and monkeys.”Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human being, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntingtons disease, affect this ability.“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and plexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntingtons disease, that develop over a long time and affect cognitive abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change,” Morton said.32. According to the new research, whats unusual about sheep?A. They have large brains.B. They can recognize their owners.C. They can tell animals from humans.D. They can recognize human faces from photograph.33. How did the researchers train the sheep?A. By guiding them to follow their handlers.B. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.C. By giving food rewards.D. By showing photos of famous people.34. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.B. The new discovery is beneficial to the study of cognitive ability changes.C. The sheeps face-recognition ability says the same when shown photos at any angle.D. The sheeps face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.35. Whats the best title of the passage?A. A New discovery about Sheep.B. How Sheep Recognize Each Other.C. A Wonderful Scientist.D. The Life of Sheep.
