You are just waking up in the spring of 2030. Your Internet of Things (IoT) bedroom opens solar-powered e-windows and plays gentle music while your smart lighting displays a montage (蒙太奇) of beachfront sunrises from your recent vacation.
Your shower uses very little water or soap. It recycles your grey water and puts the extra heat back into your home’s integrated operating system. While you dress, your artificial intelligence (AI) assistant shares your schedule for the day and plays your favourite tunes.
You still start your day with caffeine but it comes from your IoT refrigerator which is capable of providing a coffeehouse experience in your home. A hot breakfast tailored to your specific nutritional needs (based on chemical analysis from your trips to the “smart toilet”) is waiting for you in the kitchen.
When it’s time to leave, an on-demand transport system has three cars waiting for you, your spouse and your kids. On the road, driverless cars and trucks move with mathematical precision, without
traffic jams. Accident rates are near zero.
On route, you call your R&D team, who are wrapping up a day’s work in Shanghai. Your life-sized image will be projected, making your colleagues see you as if you were sitting with them. It’s a bit surreal (超现实的) for them to see you in the morning light given that it’s dark on the Bund, Shanghai’s water-front, though the novelty fades after a few uses.
You review the day’s cloud-based data from your Shenzhen manufacturing centre your pilot project in San Diego, and your QA team in Melbourme. The massive datasets are collected in realtime from every piece of equipment and have been beautifully summarized by your company’s AI. All these facilities are closely maintained and operated via a skilled predictive analytics platform. Pleased with the team’s progress, you end the call and ease into a good book.
This is the future and it will be here sooner than you think.

A. Because you did it beforehand. B. Because you were on the scene.

C. How AI Helps Us Succeed D. How AI Does Meaningful Work
C
“Regrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention,” Frank Sinatra chanted in his 1969 hit “My Way”. The song’s idea is attractive: that anyone can just declare what’s done is done and move
on. Some take the declaration a step further and claim they have no regrets at all. Whether a boast or an actual attitude, “no regrets” suggests that life can and should be lived without looking through the rear-view mirror.
Easier said than done, though. In 2020, author Daniel H. Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest ever survey on the topic. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15,000 people in 105 countries, “How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently ” 82% said regret is at least an occasional part of their life; roughly 21% said they feel regret “al1 the time.” Only 1% said they never feel regret.
If you are of the “no regrets” type, you might think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn’t the case. True, being overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To rid yourself of regrets doesn’t free you from shame or sorrow; it leads you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.
As uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive (认知) achievement. If today your relationship with your partner has soured, your regret might mentally take you back to last year. You would remember your being mean and sensitive, and then imagine yourself showing more patience, being kind instead of hurtful at key moments. Then you would fast-forward to today and see how your relationship could be progressing instead of languishing.
But regret doesn’t have to be left unmanaged. The trick is to acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement. You can be honest with yourself about what went wrong and use that knowledge to enjoy better relationships in the future.
8.What should we do if we have had a bitter quarrel with a close friend according to Frank Sinatra
A. Attract more people to your argument.
B Send him/her a letter of apology.

9.Which of the following statements about regret may the writer agree with
A. We can do nothing about regret.
B. Unhappiness results from regret.
C. Ignoring regrets is missing the opportunity to improve.
D. Ridding yourself of regrets helps free you from sorrow.
10.What does the underlined word “languishing” in paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Improving.
B. Healing.
C. Showing up.
D. Breaking up.
11.What might be a suitable title for the text
A. Regret to become smarter-if you let it.
B. Long for a different past Regret it!
C. Regret Not my way!
D. Stay away! Regret will heal itself.
D
Nearly everyone would agree that it is very hard to let go of anger after you have been hurt by someone. However, research shows that forgiveness is good for your health. It can give you more energy, help you sleep better. According to Dr Frederic Luskin, author of the book Forgive for Good, people who are able to forgive are less angry and more hopeful. “It can reduce the wear and tear on our bodies,” says Dr Luskin, “and allow people to feel more energetic.”
You are probably asking yourself, “How is it possible to forgive ” It is not easy, but here are some suggestions to try. When you have been hurt, first try to calm yourself down: breathe deeply and force yourself to think of something pleasant, such as someone you love or a beautiful sunset. Thinking about the hurt is of no use; it only gives power to the person who hurt you. Train yourself to see beauty, love and kindness in the world around you. Never wait for an apology, because you may be waiting forever. Very often the one who hurt you will never think of apologizing, either because they meant to hurt you or because they don’t understand your point of view. It can be very helpful to you to write yourself a letter, imagining what the other person’s perspective might be. Try to stand in his shoes to
see the situation; you may realize that the hurt was a result of ignorance or fear — or maybe even love. Finally, remember that forgiving someone does not mean that you have accepted their action. It only means that you have chosen to let go of the hurt.
12.What is the main idea of the passage
A. Forgiveness is possible for all people. B. We should not wait for an apology.
C. When someone has hurt you, try to forgive. D. Forgiveness can be extremely difficult.
13.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage
A. Forgiveness can make people feel more energetic.
B. People who forgive show less anger and more hope.
C. Forgiveness means you accept the hurting actions.
D.Being lost in hate may bring you deeper hurt and pain.
14.What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph mean
A. Damage. B. Energy. C. Waste. D. Sensitivity.
15.How can you calm yourself when someone has hurt you
A. Take deep breaths and think of something pleasant.
B. Learn to look for love, beauty and kindness around you.
C. Try to see things from the other person’s perspective.
D. All of the above.

It was my brother’s idea. Let’s get Mom a pet dog for her birthday. It would make her happy. I thought it was a good idea, as Mom had always wanted to own a dog. By the time our conversation ended, I had my task: find our mother a dog.
After a careful search, I finally found an ad for dogs in a local newspaper. A nearby family had a dog who had just given birth to five male puppies(小狗)! All had had their first vaccines(疫苗),and would be ready to leave their mom in a few weeks. I gave them a call.
The man who answered the phone listened patiently to my story and set a date for us to meet the dogs.
When the day arrived, I got into my brother’s car. We pulled up in front of some houses that sat along a narrow street. As we stepped onto the sidewalk,we were greeted by noisy barks(吠叫声). Four dogs had positioned themselves on the back of a sofa and were watching us through a large window. We climbed onto the porch(门廊) and rang the doorbell.
A tall man with graying hair and a kind smile opened the door. As I reached to shake his hand, I could see the puppies behind him, running to get to us. Each puppy wore a different color string around his neck.
We met the man’s wife, who wore a similar friendly smile and welcomed us to her home. We met the puppies’ parents and then set about the business of selecting a friend for our mother. There were four puppies and four visitors; the man handed each of us a dog. Three of the puppies looked up at us with large, curious eyes. The fourth one, who I was holding, began to wiggle excitedly and kiss my face. "Let’s take this one! He’s the one! Look how lovely he is!" I said. As far as I was concerned, it was a done deal.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 词左右;

My brother wasn’t sure and suggested that we take some time to get to know all of them.

第二节
答案:
My brother wasn’t sure and suggested that we take some time to get to know all of them. We spent the next hour sitting on the floor playing with a group of puppies. Finally, we settled on a different puppy for our mom. He was the smallest and weakest of the dogs and made up for his smallness with a large personality. He spent most of the time we were there either jumping on one of us or following his patient mother around asking for more to eat. We signed the paperwork and agreed on the pick-up date.
Two weeks later, we picked up the dog and hid him around the corner in my mom’s living room while she opened her birthday gifts. Just when she thought she was done, the small dog walked across the room toward her. It took a moment for Mom to be aware of him, and then she began to cry. She knelt on the floor and pulled the dog into her arms. As she kissed him, she looked up through her tears and said, “This is the best birthday gift I’ve ever got”. Hearing that, my brother and I looked at each other and smiled.
