the difficult weather conditions.
TransLink chief executive officer Peter Strachan said bus and train services were continuing to run
where possible, however all CityCat and CityFerry services had been cancelled until further notice.
"These are extremely difficult conditions for South East Queensland-we are running essential services
where possible but safety remains to be the most important," Mr Strachan said.
"Severe weather and associated flooding has impacted on all modes of public transport, with bus,
ferry and train services all impacted to varying degrees.
"If you are planning to use public transport at anytime over the next few days, then I would
recommend you check that your intended service is still running."
Service disruptions (中断) for today include:
City network trains running hourly on all lines.
lBus diversions, delays and cancellations in some regions, particularly across Brisbane, Ipswich and the
Sunshine Coast.
CityCat and CityFerry services cancelled.
Queensland Rail Chief Executive Officer Paul Scurrah said rising waterways had closed some train lines,
and road closures and damage to property throughout the South-East had contributed to a shortage of
available rail employees.
"We intend to run trains hourly on all lines, similar to the timetable we operate on Christmas Day. We
will also be looking to run other additional services to meet demand as required. At this stage we will run
services stopping at all stations which will depart at the same time on the hour, however, this is all subject
to the weather conditions and the availability of traincrew."
Mr Scurrah encouraged all customers to visit the Translink website for specific departure times for
their station, and asked for patience in the event of delays.
"Queensland Rail appreciates that reduced services may cause disruptions but it is simply unavoidable. We have a dedicated and experienced team monitoring the situation around the clock and will be working
to reopen the network as soon as practicably possible," Mr Scurrah said.
The latest service disruption information is available on the TransLink website www.translink.com.au.

armed to the teeth and ready to go treasure hunting. But you will find, as you read this book, that
although pirates can be murderous and treacherous (奸诈的),they can also be cowardly, superstitious,
and easily led. As it turns out, that is fortunate for Jim Hawkins.
It"s a brilliant story. Billy Bones, a retired seaman, comes to live at the Admiral Benbow inn. Jim is
just a boy, but he can see that Billy Bones is a nervous man, always on the look-out for strangers arriving
at the inn. And well he might be nervous, because he carries with him in his battered old sea-chest a map
drawn by Captain Flint himself giving the whereabouts of all Flint"s buried treasure! Captain Flint! -the
most feared pirate ever to travel the high seas.
Well,Flint is dead, but there are plenty of men who served with Captain Flint still alive who will feel
they have a fair claim to the treasure. The map, though, ends up in the possession of Jim Hawkins-(it"s a
near thing, read the book to see how that happens)
Jim tells the secret in the local doctor, who quickly joins forces to acquire a ship and crew to sail for
Treasure Island
There"s a famous scene where Jim, hiding in the apple barrel on deck, discovers that mutiny (叛乱) is
planned. It"s a bad moment. The numbers suggest that the pirates are going to have it all their own way.
There are nineteen mutineers and seven honest men, including Jim. And now, you will have to read the
book for yourself. This is a fantastic tale of cheat, bravery and cowardice. I don"t know how things would have turned out if it hadn"t been for Jim Hawkins. For it is Jim who single-handedly steals the Hispaniola
from under the very noses of the pirates and sails her round the island to a secret beaching place.
And do you know what happens to Long John Silver, the greatest double-crosser of them all? No?
Well, don"t expect me to tell you. Don"t be nervous of reading a "classic". I know it was published a long
time ago, but that doesn"t mean it is difficult to read. There is one piece of advice I will give, though. I
don"t think this book is ever out of print---there are hundreds of different copies around. If you can,
choose a copy with large enough print to be able to read comfortably, and exciting illustrations. It makes
all the difference.
Go ahead! Read the book. I think you"ll love it.
B. the author describes some vivid characters in the book
C. all the characters jumps out of the page alive
D. all the characters have armed teeth and ready to go treasure hunting.
B. fearful
C. artificial
D. tricky
B. 4
C. 2
D. 5
B. to recommend the book to the readers
C. to sell the book
D. to tell a story

some do hard work which man cannot do for himself. Dogs, which serve man in all three capacities, are

feeling of uncertainty about your ability to accomplish something. This dark shadow of insecurity can lead
to hesitation and indecision. If left unchecked, it can cause us to abandon our course or radically
compromise our expectations.
Here are seven simple steps to conquering (战胜) self-doubt.
1. Recognize and acknowledge your doubt. You cannot overcome something until you first recognize
and acknowledge its existence. If we give into the temptation (诱惑)to ignore or deny self-doubt, it will
impose limits on our ability to act. Self-doubt can be a stealthy (潜在的) problem. If you suspect that it
exists, you need to pull it into the light so it can be dealt with. The better you become at identifying hidden doubts, the easier it will be to overcome them.
2. Analyze your doubt. Spend some time drilling down and figure out what triggered (引发) it and
why? When you analyze feelings, you make them vulnerable (脆弱) logic and reason. Normally, feelings
override logic, but questioning the validity of feelings brings them within the reach of reason.
3. Identify the source. If you can figure out where these feelings originate, then you can hit them where
they live. You don"t need to psychoanalyze yourself back to childhood or anything like that. Just try to
get a handle on the area of your life that creates your sense of uncertainty so you can work on it.
4. Is there a pattern. Do you have a history of self-doubt in this area? Doubt tends to have favorite
places to hang out. This raises the likelihood that we have probably experienced it in a similar situation
before. Think back, have you been down this road before? Did you overcome your doubts? If so, what
steps did you take? If not, what can you do differently this time around?
5. Design a plan. Sit down and plan out a strategy for defeating your doubt. Make an educated
decision about what to do next. Choose a path that you think will lead to conquering your doubts. Next,
put your plan down in writing.
6. Anticipate (预计) possible challenges. Now look at your plan and try to identify possible challenges
along the way. Is there some area that you need help with? If so, ask someone close to you to give you
some encouragement. Sometimes, some foresight and a little support is all it takes.
7. Take action. You have a plan, the next step is to put it to use by taking action. Stick to your plan
and ask for help if you need it. In fact, encouragement is good even if you think you can go it alone.
For most people, self-doubt is just a temporary condition. Think of it like a speed bump on the road
to success. Take the bump in stride(脚步), then put the pedal to the metal, and go for it. When your
confidence is challenged, just follow these seven steps and you will get past it. In fact, I have no doubt
about your ability to leave self-doubt in the dust.

| When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it"s so-and-so"s fault. "or "I know I"m late, but it"s not my fault; the car broke down. " It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner"s key to success. Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don"t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well. This is what being a winner is all about - creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don"t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situation to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "whose fault it is. " Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success. | |
