Having regular contact with professional peers can be a source of encouragement, especially when youre feeling burned out.Volunteering can make your social life colorful and meaningful. When you go tovolunteer sites, youre meeting like-minded people. Youre meeting others who have values such as passion and connection to munity. Also, people who volunteer appear to be confident, happy, and out-going. Again, these are people from many different walks of life, so there is the potential for interesting dialogue. And those people who you are meeting are active.25. What does the underlined word mean?A. prevents.B. increases.C. expresses.D. strengthens.26.

As flowers grow, sometimes the growers cut off the tops of them, which they believe is helpful to produce higher quality flowers. This is the same with personal growth. Sometimes when we produce first results in a certain area, it can be good to cut them off and throw them away, which helps free up ( 腾出) energy for a new attempt elsewhere.After running my pany of puter games for 10 years and having satisfying results, I decided to drop it and leave that field behind. This freed up my energy to focus on improving myself in writing and speaking. If Id kept running the old business, I would have had less energy to put into my new path and had weaker results.When you feel that life is being too stagnant ( 停滞不前的), try mixing things upnow and then. As a way to do so, Ive been travelling continuously. Since April 23, I have been in Europe for a month. During this time, Ive dropped my old daily routine that I would normally use at home and Im trying something different. This means that more energy is freed up for exploration and growth.The longer you stay still, the more people based on your current position will relate to you. Your thoughts and feelings may bee repetitive and circular. Your surrounding environment may control your daily routine. Soon you notice that as the years pass, there is little change in your life. This is the fort zone.Stepping outside of your fort zone is an unfortable experience, but it is worthwhile. During my Europe trip, for instance, each day brings new challenges, like making the mistake of taking the stairs from the bottom of Covent Garden Underground Tube Station. But with so much to explore and learn, I feel that minor victories of the sort that I seldom experienced at home are waiting for me every day. Dropping personal satisfaction to go for more growth is not an easy path to follow, but I do find it to be the more beautiful path.32. What did the author e to realize after visiting the flower gardens?A. It is enjoyable for one to get close to nature and admire the flowers. B. One should ignore the present achievement and try something new. C. It is practical for one to take up the skill of topping the flowers.D. One is supposed to have a high expectation for ones ing future.33. Whats the purpose of the authors dropping his former business?A. To satisfy his great desire for personal development. B. To free himself from the busy work and heavy debts. C. To keep up with the changes of modern society.D. To seek ways to increase the profits and productivity.34. People living in the fort zone are likely to .A. feel creative and confident.B. change their lifestyles and habits. C. accept new ideas and petition.D. be controlled by the physical environment.35. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Trying to slow down and enjoy your life to the fullest. B. Holding a positive attitude towards your career and life. C. Getting out of home to grow or living a fortable life.D. Having a strong desire to live in the past or in the future.第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for procrastinators (拖延者)You manage to finish and hand the project in on time, but you feel exhausted.
