小题4: C
【试题解析】根据前一句His invention contained a cloth strap(带子)that was placed across the chest and another strap across his hips可知是在叙述现在的安全带的式样,C项The design joined the straps next to the hip.与上下文相符。

If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don’t need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob. Who are they? Are they mobs (暴民)? 小题1: Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly separate.

When we use other people as the measuring stick for our personal success and quality of life ,we are likely to be less satisfied. Social parisons can provide useful information when we try to learn from others. but they also hold our perspective in a discontented position. 小题4:
When you focus on your big ambitions and future goals, you might neglect the daily pleasures that surround you. 小题5: Stay present and focus on the task you"re undertaking at the moment .Don"t let the life pass you by because you"re always on the go and distracted by ambitions.
