keeping an appointment(约会).
The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time.
He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may
be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things.
In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most
valuable asset(财产)as well as others". The unpunctual person is always complaining that he
finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who
really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He
knows that he cannot get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece
of work when it has to be attended to.
Failure to be punctual in keeping one"s appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others.
If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other
guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other
guests present.
Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to do one"s duty, whether public or
private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be
at their proper places at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is
never trusted by his friends or fellow men.
B. he is always in a hurry when he works
C. he doesn"t care much about time
D. he always mismanages and wastes his time
B. be late
C. on time
D. at times
B. at the appointed time
C. before all other guests
D. after the host has got things ready
B. Unpunctuality may bring about heavy losses for both public and private affairs
C. If your friends know that you are unpunctual, they may not see you again.
D. Unpunctuality may make you miss a lot of appointments and lose friends.

causes us to be unhappy, but can ruin relationships, distract (使分心) us from work and family and other
important things, make us unwilling to open up new things.
We need to learn to let go. We need to be able to forgive, so we can move on and be happy.
Forgiveness does not mean you erase（忘却；抹去）the past, or forget what has happened. All it means is that you are letting go of the anger and pain, and moving on to a better place.
It"s not easy, but you can learn to do it.
Think about the advantages and disadvantages. Think of all the problems this pain causes you, and
realize you need to change. Then think of the benefits of forgiveness—how it will make you happier, free
you from the past and the pain, and improve your relationships and life in general.
Try to put yourself in that person"s situation. Try to understand why the person did what he did. What
could he have felt as he did it, and what did he feel afterward? How does he feel now? You aren"t saying
what he did is right, but are trying to understand instead.
Understand your responsibility. Try to figure out how you could have been partly responsible for what
happened. This isn"t to say you"re taking all the blame, or taking responsibility away from the other person,
but to realize that we are not victims (受害者) but participants in life.
Allow peace to enter your life. As you focus on the present, try focusing on your breathing. Imagine each breath going out is the pain and the past, and imagine each breath coming in is peace, entering you and filling you up.

| London has a new magazine. But it"s not printed on paper. Everyone who has a television can receive it because it is on TV. In order to read this magazine you have to have a decoder. Each page of it is numbered, so you only have to dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about. There"s a wide choice- everything is included from cooking to the latest sports news. If you want to read the news, the first thing you have to do is to turn to the index page which has an easy-to-remember page number, 100 for example. Then you start choosing what you want to read. The news is on pages 101 to 109, so you push out the numbers and the news appears written across your screen. Perhaps you want to go out in the afternoon, so you press 181, and a brightly colored weather map appears on the screen. But the weather is terrible so you decide to go shopping and dial 162 for a list of the week"s best bargains. But should you drive or take the train ? To answer the question you only have to press 189 for the traffic report. It"s very simple to use. But probably the best thing about the service is that it"s being updated all the time. Journalists type new material directly onto the screen and whole pages of the magazine can be replaced in minutes. London has already had three services. One, transmitted(传输)by ITV, is called ORACLE, while the other two, on BBC, are called CEEFAX, because they let you see facts. Although CEEFAX and ORACLE have been operating for some time, they have not been well publicized. BBC engineers do not think that their idea will ever replace books and newspapers because they can be taken with you everywhere. But many people agree that this is a breakthrough as great as the invention of printing, which could change not just our reading habits but our whole way of life. | |

| 3. According to the passage, the "decoder" is used to help people to ________. | |
| A. read the information transmitted by TV signals B. broadcast special TV programs at home and abroad C. dial the number to choose which subject you want to read about D. find the exact page in which you can get information you need | |

| Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world"s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania"s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife. The streams, lakes, grassland, mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the area. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos" natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy(大自然保护协会)named the area one of America"s "Last Great Places". Operating out of a century - old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennylvania, Cook, one of the Conservaney"s branches, is working with local people and business leaders to balance ________________________. By developing partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than, 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area. Altemose"s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program, As a result, his family"s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a safe financial future for their 7--year-old grandson. Cook attributes the Conservancy"s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents(英才苑居民 ). "The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community," Cook said, "The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation efforts."
