Most people hate change, which is sad since we often go through big changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So the question is: Why do most of us find making changes to our lives so hard
____1____
Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, people of Paris were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, people were so angry about the plans for the tower that they protested (抗议) it._____2______ They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry. But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter. Changes happen every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we don’t know how those changes will affect (影响) our future.
How we can overcome (克服) our fear of change
People have found that the key to overcoming the fear and anger of change is to be flexible (灵活的). _____59_____ Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change take place faster than ever before. Those who refuse change, especially with technology in the workplace may find themselves out of a job.
When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it, accept it. A positive attitude (积极的态度) helps a lot. _____4_____ That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the new city you moved to. Don't only focus on (关注) how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change. The change is the reality, and it’s up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know-your next change may be your life's Eiffel Tower!
A. It might seem strange, but their anger was completely natural. B. Reasons for our changes C. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. D. When they are flexible, people can accept new situations more easily E. Why we dislike change F. Your future life is never known because of the changes.
五、综合填空
A few years ago, Ed Jones was shopping at a second-hand store. He 1_____________ (look) for something valuable (有价值的). Suddenly something caught his eye - a large cardboard map.
The map was covered with dust (灰尘),so Mr Jones wiped it clean. Under the dust was a color map of Paris. It looked old. On the back of the map;$3Mr Jones was quite 2_____________ (certainly) that the map was worth (值…钱) more than three dollars, so he bought it.
The next day, Mr Jones took the map to a geography professor. 3_____________ looking at the map for a few minutes, the professor became very excited “I’ve read about this map!” he exclaimed. Then he told Mr Jones what he knew.
In 1671, the king of France, Louis XIV, asked a cartographer (制图者) to make a map of Paris. The cartographer worked on the map for four years. The map was beautiful-it was not just a map, but 4_____________ work of art too. The cartographer carefully colored one of the 5_____________ (copy), using blue for rivers, green for trees, and brown for buildings. The professor said that one black and white copy of the map was in the British Museum in London, and 6 _____________ was in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. “I think,” the professor said, “you 7_____________ (find) the color copy of the map in a second-hand store in the US!”
The professor advised that Mr Jones should take the map to New York City. Experts there could tell Mr Jones if the professor was right.
Mr Jones took the map to New York City. The New York experts told him that the map was rather valuable. “How much do you think it’s worth ” Mr Jones asked the experts. 8_____________ (million),” they replied. “It’s impossible to say 9_____________ (exact) how much the map is worth. It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.”
Soon Mr Jones found that how much people were willing to pay for the map. The most recent offer even reached 19.5 million dollars.
Mr Jones hasn’t decided whether (是否) he 10 _____________ (sell) his three-dollar map at that price or wait for a higher offer. He is thinking it over.
