Busy as I am every day, I always open my computer and check my email. Most of the time I am simply doing finger exercises, another form of piano practice without beautiful tones. Sometimes, however, I receive a gift, reminding me of the gifts in my life. The following passage is one of those gifts.

Peter Jones is a 92-year-old, short, calm and proud man. Every morning he is fully dressed by eight o’clock, with his hair fashionably combed and face perfectly shaved even though hi is unable to see anything. He would move to a nursing home today. His wife of 70 years old has recently passed away, making the move necessary.

After hours of waiting patiently in the entrance hall of the nursing home, he smiled sweetly when told his room was ready. As he moved his walking stick skillfully to the elevator, the nurse provided a visual description of his tiny room. “I love it,” he stated with enthusiasm. “Mr. Jones, you haven’t been the room,” said the nurse.

“That doesn’t have anything to do with it,” he replied. “Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn’t depend on how the furniture is arranged…it’s how I arrange my mind. I have already decided to love it. It’s a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice: I can spend the day in bed complaining of the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.”

Each day is a gift, and as long as we are alive. We’ll focus on the new day and all the happy memories we’ve stored just as Mr. Jones does.

1.What do we know about Mr. Jones ?

A. He is a blind but very neat.

B. His wife died many years ago.

C. He likes playing the piano.

D. His room in the nursing home is big.

2.How did Mr. Jones feel about his room in the nursing home?

A. worried　　 B. curious　　 C. disappointed　　 D. content

3.The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to ________.

A. the furniture　　　 B. the room　　　 C. a decision　　　 D. a gift

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

A. Each Day is a Gift　　　　　 B. Be Always Grateful

C. Living in a nursing room　　 D. Arrange Your Mind Every Day

During the week days,  they are luckily busy office people; but on weekends, they are just a brood of（一窝）stay-home animals. A recent survey shows that office workers in China prefer quiet and easy ways to spend their weekends.

In the survey, conducted by job seeking and offering website Zhaopin.com, 32.8 percent of the 6,000 respondents choose to stay home at weekends and have a good rest, the Beijing Morning Post reported.

Twenty percent use their days-off to do housework. And only 19.3 percent are willing to have fun during the break time from work. Their first choice of fun is shopping.

Other choices, though practiced by few, include meeting friends, accompanying the children, trips to the suburbs, and lessons for more skills.

When they. go shopping, 54.5 percent of the white-collars actually shop in supermarkets, while 27.9. percent attend other stores, especially when discounts are offered.

These activities don't seem to cost much, as 60 percent spend average less than 200 yuan (US$26) during weekends, and 30 percent no more than 500 yuan.

When asked whom they would spend the weekends with, about 40 percent mention their partners, and 30 percent prefer a weekend all by themselves. Less than 20 percent hang out with friends.

Only 5.8 percent would kill the time with their colleagues. This is because we tend to avoid too many personal contacts with our co-workers when we don't have to work with them, according to some experts.

2.Why will less than ten percent of office workers kill the time with their colleagues at weekends?
