I’m 30 years old, and there are several things that life has taught me that I want to share with you．Here are the 4 lessons that life has taught me in the past 30 years．

1.Take care of your body

Life is “unfairly” biased (偏向的) towards people who “l(fā)ook good,” like it or not. So it’s important that you do all that is in your power to look your best． 1. You will live longer, and you will live happier, if you take care of your body; you may even get promoted faster on your job. Remember that your health is really your greatest wealth.

2. 2.

No one taught me to save when I was growing up; no one told me the importance of saving. Fortunately I was able to learn the value of saving through reading great books like “The Millionaire Next Door”. What I want to teach others is to save at least twenty percent of your income. If you are to be wealthy, you must not just earn a lot, you must save a lot．

3.Think in the long term

In high school I was thinking about college, in college I was thinking about life after college. I’m designing my life and I’m making decisions today that will enable me to live the life I desire when I’m in my 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. You have to think in the long term; you have to see the “big picture”. 3.

4.Realize the power of focus

Focus, focus, focus… 4. If you fail in this lifetime, you will fail because of broken focus. If you focus on the goals that are most important to you, you will achieve them. The problem is that there are so many distractions. 5. Winners decide to major on majors, and they even let important things slip, because they just focus on achieving what is critical to their goals.

A．The importance of saving.

B．If you plan your future properly, you will live into your plans.

C．Save your money.

D．Nothing is more important than focus．

E．What separates the winners from the losers is that the winners learn to focus on their goals．

F．I mean dressing nicely, working out and eating right．

G．It’s important that you pursue relationships with individuals who are good first．

It was very cold and I had been watching a homeless man make himself comfortable in a “shelter” on the river bank. I never saw him with warm clothing or food. I knew what I wanted to do.

When I told my parents my plan they were alarmed. They said I could be putting myself in danger, taking a box to a homeless person at night! But I knew, in my deep heart, that I would be safe. They watched as I added warm gloves, a heavy blanket … into a box until it was full! Then, I put a Christmas card on top. It said, “Even though we hardly know each other, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas!” I put ten one-dollar bills inside it as well.

My father insisted he went there with me as it was 10 pm on Christmas Eve. I said he could drive me but he had to stay in the car. He agreed.

I I took the box and walked towards his “house”. I called, “Sir, I have a Christmas box for you!”

“Go away!” he shouted.

“Sir,” I repeated.

“Go away!” he shouted angrily.

“Why?” I asked him.

He walked over and I saw two of the most beautiful, gentle, blue eyes I have ever seen.

“Merry Christmas!” I said.

“Why are you doing this?” he asked.

“Because you matter to me,” I said. With that I gave him the box.

Tears came to his eyes and he carried the box like it was filled with gold. I didn’t want to embarrass(使…尷尬) him by watching him anymore. So Dad and I left. (272 words)

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2015-2016學(xué)年甘肅天水一中高一下第一次月考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Our lives were supposed to be more flexible and family-friendly thanks to the technology at our fingertips. But in this age of BlackBerrys, recession (經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退) pressures, working at home after hours and on weekends, family time may not be working out the way we thought.

Busy parents who expected more time with the kids are finding that more work hours at home don't necessarily translate into quality time with them.

A new generation of parents needs to discover the meaning of "quality time," researchers say. “Personally, just given the life I lead, I think there is something to this idea of quality time— spending productive time with children instead of just being around,” says Peter Brandon, a professor at Carleton College. He says engaging or interacting with a child in activities such as reading or playing counts as quality time rather than "passive monitoring," such as washing the dishes while the child is watching TV.

“This time with children pays off,” Brandon says. He notes that good parent—child relationships result in children being happier and more successful, including at school.

As parents struggle to be more available to their kids, new research on work and family schedules to be presented Friday at the meeting in Dallas includes a study that shows parents' availability is on the decline because more parents are in the workforce. Although parents today may be spending more time on child care, they are less available overall.

Working parents who spend less time with their children should try to make sure the time they do spend is communicating with them instead of doing the dishes or spending more time on themselves, Brandon says “The trade-off is not necessarily taking away time from your kid,” he says "You’d better take away time from other things.”

1.The first paragraph mainly intends to tell us that .

A. technology lets parents work at home

B. parents are satisfied with their work

C. technology makes our lives much easier

D. the family time is not always satisfying

2.We can learn from the third paragraph that .

A. some families are not experiencing quality time

B. it's enough for parents to stay with their children

C. parents enjoy engaging in work-at-home activities

D. working hours at home can transform into quality time

3.According to Brandon, the quality time means_________.

A. just, being around with children

B. work time is separate from family time

C. spending instructive time with children

D. letting the children do whatever they want to do

4.The underlined sentence “This time with children pays off ”means .

A. the time with children is of little value

B. the time with children costs quite a lot

C. the time with children leads to good result

D. the time with children has a bad effect on them

5.According to the new research on work and family schedules to be presented at the meeting in Dallas, what leads to the declining of parents’ availability ?

A. Because parents don’t know the meaning of “quality time”.

B. Because parents are unwilling to care about their children.

C. Because parents are under the great recession pressures.

D. Because more parents today are busy at their work.

6.What will the author most probably talk about in next part of the passage?

A. How to spend more time at home

B. How to do the dishes in a proper way.

C. How to spend more time on working at home.

D. How to take away time in a much proper way.

Polluted airborne particles(大氣懸浮顆粒) kill 7 million people a year, reports the World Health Organization.

That news may not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen images of chimneys in Beijing, Delhi or Mexico. But those factories－or even the jammed roadways of modern cities－are not the biggest killer. Each year, some 4.3 million people die earlier than they should because of polluted air inside their homes, says the WHO.

What's causing the air inside people's homes to be so poisonous that it kills around 11,000 people a day? Stoves. “Having an open fire in your kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour.” says Kirk Smith, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, whose research suggests that household air pollution from cooking killed between 3.5 million and 4 million people in 2013.

Not all stoves cause this kind of harm. The ones Smith's talking about are those that the 3 billion people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which burn solid fuels such as wood, coal, or crop waste instead of gas. The smoke from those fires produces harmful fine particles and carbon monoxide into homes. Poor ventilation then prevents that smoke from escaping, raising fine particle levels 100 times higher than the limits that the WHO considers acceptable.

Breathing this air day in day out eventually causes a lot of diseases: more than a third of the 4.3 million die of a stroke, while a quarter die of heart disease. And around one-third of annual lung disease deaths worldwide are due to waste from coal stoves.

Exposure tends to be extremely harmful for the people who spend the most time around the fire－usually women and young children. In fact, the WHO reports that household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood lung disease.

1.According to Kirk Smith's research,________.

A. factories are the biggest killer worldwide nowadays

B. burning 400 cigarettes an hour is extremely dangerous

C. household air pollution from cooking is surprisingly harmful

D. some 4.3 million people die earlier each year than they should

2.What should be the deadly killer in a household kitchen?

A. Solid fuels. B. Coal stoves.

C. Poor gas. D. Cooking smoke.

3. The underlined word “ventilation” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.

A. airing B. cooking C. burning D. cooling

4.The author intends to tell people ________.

A. how to avoid polluted air in their homes

B. to stop cooking in the household kitchen

C. to guard against household pollution from cooking

D. how to prevent childhood lung diseases in household

Who knows about sleep? Astronauts (宇航員). They have to. Their bodies are cut off from the outside world that reminds (提醒) us what time it is. But actually, it's even worse than that. An astronaut reported in his diary that he was likely to make mistakes on days following an unusually late bedtime.

So NASA started doing some serious research. They quickly realized that we're a slave to the outside world. Without light and darkness, we' re unable to regulate (管理) sleep times.

Because of modern technology, we're all living more like astronauts now. Light is no longer a function (功能) of the sun, but of always-on indoor lights, TV and computer screens. Temperature no longer follows a cycle of cooling at night and warming during the day. Is it any wonder that a third of Americans have sleep problems?

Maybe you think this doesn't affect you — or at least not much. You're wrong. Research done on non-astronauts has shown the same thing. After two weeks of six hours of sleep a night; you're drunk. By the end of two weeks, the six-hour sleepers behaved as badly as those who hadn't slept for 24 hours.

But what did they say when asked how they felt? "It's not affecting me." So if you are performing poorly because of sleep problems, you may have no idea. This is a real problem.

So what answers did NASA come up with?

Take an hour to calm down before bed. Yes, you're busy. But your time is not more valuable than an astronaut's.

Keep your bedroom dark, cool and free from noise. Even if you think "the light doesn't affect you" or "the noise isn't that bad", it can still affect sleep quality.

Another advice: forget the alarm clock (鬧鐘) in the morning; set an alarm to remind you to go to bed at night. When it goes off, finish up any work on the computer, and turn off any unnecessary lights. This prevents you from cheating yourself on sleep and allows you to wake up naturally.

1. What did NASA find about people’s sleep?

A. It takes a long time to develop regular sleep times.

B. It’s strongly influenced by the outside world.

C. It remains untouched by outside influences.

D. It’s hard to change one’s sleep habits.

2.The biggest problem of those who haven’t enough sleep lies in the fact that .

A. they can’t fall asleep without the lights on

B. they don’t know whether they sleep well

C. they refuse to regulate their sleep times

D. they get too drunk to sleep well

3. What does the underlined sentence in the text mean?

A. You should make full use of your time.

B. You can find the time to get ready to sleep.

C. You can sleep later to finish your work first.

D. You should learn from astronauts’ way of sleep.

4. What’s the advice on the alarm clock?

A. Use it to remind you to sleep.

B. Put it far away from your bed.

C. Get up immediately when it rings.

D. Pay no attention to it when it rings.
