__________________________ or how old you get, there's always something new to learn about — ________________， life is full of surprises.
不管你生活在哪里，不管你有多大，总有新的东西要学习——毕竟，生活充满了惊喜。
“我为什么而活着？”这一问题既简单又复杂，既重大又往往被人忽视。人为什么活着？实际上这是人类始终关心的一个哲学命题，是人类对自身永恒的追问。罗素作为一个伟大的思想家、哲学家，用文学的笔法，对这个永恒的命题给出了不同凡响的回答。
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life：the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.These passions, like great winds, have blown me in a wayward course, over a great ocean of anguish, reaching to the very edge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings delight — delight so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy.I have sought it, next, because it relieves the world into the cold lifeless abyss (深渊). I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen the vision of the glorious world that saints and poets have imagined.This is what I sought,
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.I have wished to understand the hearts of men.I have wished to know why the stars shine.And I have tried to understand the Pythagorean [毕达哥拉斯(学说)的] power by which number holds sway above the flux .A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led toward the oasis.But always pity brought me back to earth.Cries of pain echo in my heart.Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors (压迫者), helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty and pain make a mockery (嘲笑) of what human life should be.I long to defeat this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
This has been my life.I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.

Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years.Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.
I know exactly how you feel.Teenage life can be hard.You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to observe and analyze your surroundings.However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences.To top it all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) imbalance in your body can really mess you up.I have been there.I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!
As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my chores on time.And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my assignments, study for the upcoming tests and clean my room.Now, I have much more things to do：cooking, cleaning and working while striking a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends.That really is a lot of work.So, I will just give you one golden tip, quoting from Benjamin Franklin, “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”
Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down.Half the problems of a teenager appear because we hate doing things.We'd rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities.That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won't let you go out with friends because you haven't cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven't finished your assignments.

B
Having spring around makes you feel different after such a long winter journey.The power of sunshine brings us a lot of comfort, optimism, self-confidence and of course a smile.Imagine how great it will be if we are so positive all year round!
Living like this is possible if you really think about it.In order to exist in such a state of happiness, we must have sunshine radiating from within ourselves, shining from our hearts, minds and souls.Actually, that's your choice, and if you think that way then your own life will reflect that attitude of yours!
In order to make “sunshine” or rather, “light” part of our being, it is so important that you watch your thoughts, your words and your actions so that you will accept what you really feel you'd like to create in your own life.Watch your thoughts and really become aware of how many negative thoughts pass through your mind about yourself and other people around you.Watch to see how often you gossip about other people, which is actually often attached with feelings of jealousy and insecurity about yourself.
You are also supposed to take a close look at your “intention”．How many of you do something for another person without expecting to receive something in return It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect; expecting to be recognized for what you have done is enough to create conditions on your attention.Think about it!
Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside us just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else.If you take all your negative attitudes in one hand and measure your need to feel “sunshine” in the other, you will see how both these elements really contradict each other.
Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so, you will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your life and the lives of the people around you!
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了让内心充满阳光的意义和好处，以及如何做到内心阳光。

C．by watching what you think, say and do

√
8．The passage is written mainly to .
A．stress the importance of the positive lifestyle
B．offer advice on having sunshine from our inside
C．analyze the intentions and thoughts in our mind
D．warn us about the bad effects of negative attitudes

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
On any given day, many of us wrestle with our fears.We might be considering changing a job or wanting to speak up for what's right when we see injustice (不公正)． 9 Or it says that we don't have the ability to create the life or world we want to have.The cycle often plays out in the same way.
So, what should we do？ 10 Instead, we can choose to accept fear as part of the process of change and practice courage.Though courage is often thought of as an inborn character, it's actually a practice that can be learned for dealing with difficulty. 11 Here are two useful tips for dealing with fear and moving closer to courage.
Listen without attachment.Many of us who are stuck in fear have an inner critic (批评家), constantly telling us we'll fail.Sometimes we adopt approaches to removing it. 12 However, if we can take time to listen to our inner critic without attachment — without the need to ignore or accept what it is saying — we're in a better position to learn from it.
13 Creating courageous communities gives us the support to face challenges.Sometimes our stories get in our way, and we need people who are doing similar work to help us see where we're getting stuck or what we're truly good at.
A．Fear shows up in the body.
B．You'll be more likely to make the changes.
C．In other words, courage can become a habit.
D．Don't see fear as bad or try to remove it when it arises.
E．But a voice within us pipes up saying that there's no point.
F．While we can get temporary relief, they don't actually make the critic go away.
G．Surround yourself with like-minded people who also honor the values of courage.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何获取勇气以战胜内心的恐惧。
9．选E 根据空后“Or it says that we don't have the ability to create the life or world we want to have.”可知，E项符合语境。
10．选D 根据空后“Instead, we can choose to accept fear as part of the process of change and practice courage.”可知，作者不赞成“把恐惧看成不好的事情并在它一出现时就消灭它”的做法，并给出了“接受恐惧并锻炼勇气”的建议。故D项符合语境。
11．选C 根据空前“it's actually a practice that can be learned for dealing with difficulty”可知，C项符合语境。
12．选F 根据空前“Sometimes we adopt approaches to removing it.”可知，F项符合语境。
13．选G 根据本段内容可知，作者给出的建议是：和同样珍视勇气的人在一起。空后的“courageous communities”即指G项中提到的“like-minded people who also honor the values of courage”，故选G。4 / 4

You are also supposed to take a close look at your “intention”．How many of you do something for another person without expecting to receive something in return It might not even have to be a material or physical thing you expect; expecting to be recognized for what you have done is enough to create conditions on your attention.Think about it!
Putting all of these together, it seems that most of us are creating monsters inside us just by simply talking, thinking and not putting our heart out with the right intention towards helping someone else.If you take all your negative attitudes in one hand and measure your need to feel “sunshine” in the other, you will see how both these elements really contradict each other.
Be brave and break your patterns and your habits this spring, and by doing so, you will allow the true sunshine to take place by radiating out from your heart and into your life and the lives of the people around you!
