I made it through that week 44  my father. Each card 45  to say just what I needed to hear. Tuesday’s card said, “The past is painful to think about and the 46  is impossible to imagine. Don't try.

It still feels very bad, but it is part of the healing 49 .” Friday’s card contained a poem he wrote.

In it he wisely reminded me to 53 . “The world isn't so bad after a good laugh. The more you laugh, the more you heal.” Each card was signed, “Love, Dad.”

If you live in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don't have to be like everyone else．You can be different．

I can't give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower, but here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life．

1．Do less

Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day．Focus not on quantity but on quality．Pick 2 or 3 important things-or even just one important thing- and work on those first．

2．Have fewer meetings

Meetings are usually a big waste of time and make you rush．Try to have blocks of time with no interruptions, so you don't have to rush from one meeting to another．

3．Give yourself time to get ready and get there

If you're constantly rushing to appointments or other places you have to be, it's because you don't allot（分配） enough time in your schedule for preparing and for traveling．Pad your schedule to allow time for this stuff．If you think it only takes you 10 minutes to get ready for work or a date, perhaps give yourself 30 to 45 minutes so you don't have to shave in a rush or put on makeup in the car．

4．Practice being comfortable with sitting doing nothing

When people have to wait, they become impatient or uncomfortable．Try standing in a line and just watching and listening w people around you．It takes practice, but after a while, you’ll do it with a smile．

5．Realize that if it doesn't get done, that's Ok．

There's always tomorrow．And yes, I know that's a frustrating attitude for some of you who don't like laziness or living without firm deadlines, but it's also reality．The world likely won't end if you don't get that task done today．Your boss might get mad, but the company won't collapse and the life will inevitably go on．

Try these things out．Life is better when unrushed．

Remember the quote: If nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you．

1.Which can be the best title of the passage?

2.If you think you need 10 minutes to get ready for the date with your boyfriend, ______．

3.According to the passage, we can know_______．

4.The underlined word "collapse" has the similar meaning to "______"．

Years ago, I was so confident, and so naive(幼稚的). I was so sure that I was right and everyone else was wrong.

Unfortunately I was lucky and got successful, so that kept me blind to my weak points. I sold my company, felt ready to do something new, and started to learn. But the more I learned, the more I realized how little I knew and how lucky I had been.

I’d start to make things, but then saw how stupid I was, so I stpped. I lost all confidence. I spent a few years completely stuck.

Finally, some new ideas helped:

Learning without doing is wasted. If I don’t use what I learn, then it is pointless! How terrible to waste hundreds of hours spent learning, and not turn them into action. Like throwing good food in the trash: it’s wrong.

This isn’t about me. How I feel in this moment doesn’t matter－it will pass. Nobody is judging me, because nobody is thinking of me. They are just looking for things to improve their own life. The public me is not the real me anyway, so if they judge my public personality, that’s fine.

The work is the point, and my work is special. If I can do something that people find useful, then I should. It doesn’t matter if it’s a masterpiece or not, as long as I enjoy it.

So I’m glad my old confidence is gone. Now I aim(以……为目标)to make my work my little contribution to the world－just special and useful.

1.I lost all my confidence when______

A.I got successful in my career.

B.I Learned more than before.

C.I sold my company.

D.I realized I knew little.

2.According to the passage, the author prefer______

A.learning by using.

B.learning is wasting time.

C.learning by spending hours.

D.learning is pointless.

3.Why does the author think his work is special?

A.Because he is a unique person in his company.

B.Because he can gain confidence by helping others.

C.Because his aim is to be special in the world.

D.Because his old confidence is gone.

Is it wrong to use someone else’s wireless(Wi-Fi) connection?Just recently,a man was arrested for doing just that.At that time,he was sitting in the street with a laptop(便携式电脑)and using an unsecured(无安全保护措施)wireless connection to surf the Net.What do you think about this topic?Listen to the following different views on it.

For a start,if someone is using your Internet service or downloading,this will affect your speed of access or download limit.Also,it’s bad for Internet service providers.They will suffer in the long run because fewer people will pay for an Internet service if they know they can get it for free.And finally,just imagine this:what if the person who is stealing your Internet connection is involved in an illegal activity?I think the police are totally right to arrest these criminals.

—by Sandra Wilkins

Basically,if the person who paid for the service still has everything they paid for,what’s the problem?It’s just like using the light from streetlamps to read your book,or watching someone else’s firework display.It’s not stealing.

Also,if you leave your wireless connection unsecured,then it is your own fault(过错)if someone else uses it.Just as you wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked,or your car door open,neither should you leave your wireless connection open.By leaving your wireless connection open,you are inviting people to use it.Securing your wireless connection is as easy as clicking a few settings on your router(路由器).And finally,haven’t the police got more important crimes to solve?They’re always saying how they haven’t got the manpower to solve real issues.But this is just ridiculous(荒谬的).

—by James Hoarley

1.Why was the man mentioned in the first paragraph arrested?

A.For stealing someone’s laptop.

B.For surfing the Net in the street.

C.For using an Internet service without permission.

D.For destroying others’ wireless connection.

2.What does Sandra Wilkins think of people using others’ Internet service?

A.He thinks it is necessary sometimes.

B.He thinks it is unacceptable.

C.He thinks it requires good computer skills.

D.He thinks it is good for Internet service providers.

3.In James Hoarley’s opinion,　　 .

A.Internet service should be improved

B.using others’ Internet service is not stealing at all

C.it is hard to secure one’s wireless connection

D.people should leave their wireless connection open

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.Wireless worries　　 　　　　 B.Wireless connection

C.Internet service 　　　　　　 D.Internet users
