　　To Treat Every Day as the Last Day of Your Life
　　Every day I feel dull and boring until one day I had a conversation with one of my best friends.
　　She is an extraordinary common girl with plain appearance but weird thoughts sometimes.
　　When I told all my boring feelings to her, she kept silent at first. Then she asked me: “If today is the last day of your life, What will you do ?”
　　I was dumb at all. Just at that moment, she voiced her opinion: “I would contact my ex-boy friend and try to remedy the faults done by me before.
　　“Wow, to love only if you are limited and to achieve only if you are restricted. Most of us have formed the habit of procrastination（拖沓）. We take everything for granted too easily. But what shall we do and how regretful we will be if today happens to be the last day of our lives?”

　　The desire to make explorations is born with man. Wherever his imagination goes, man also has a strong wish to go. A large part of human history is considered with the exploration of the world in which we live. Again and again people have set out with surprising courage and patience to look into unknown regions and lands to see what had not yet been seen, to make the unknown known. With kites, balloons and aircraft they left the ground to pass through the lower atmosphere. Now the outer space receives their attention.
　　Why should man take the trouble of conquering space ? It is hard to list the specific practical benefits that will surely see and discover new things in space that will increase our scientific knowledge, and this new knowledge will find its way into valuable practical uses. What we learn about man himself, from his experience in space, and from the effects of space and the space flight environment n him, will be extremely valuable. The new techniques developed to carry out the exploration of space, and to keep man alive in space, will certainly find practical uses in everyday life in some way. The areas that will benefits are manifold. They include communication, generation of power, transportation and travel, food production, materials, fuels and many others. But to say definitely just what the practical results will be is almost impossible.
　　1. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ___.
　　A. man desire to explore what is unknown.
　　B. man often goes wherever his dreams go
　　C. man is no longer interested in the study of the land and sea now.

　　A. that are obtained from experience
　　B. that can be learned as knowledge
　　C. that can be made use of
　　D. helping us make further exploration.
　　三. 短文改错：

　　8. table→tables一个餐馆有若干张餐桌，更何况是restaurants。
　　9. 去掉to。let sb. do的用法。

追求忘我
不要把自己当做鼠，否则肯定被猫吃。
　　1858年，瑞典的一个富豪人家生下了一个女儿。然而不久，孩子染患了一种无法解释
　　的瘫痪症，丧失了走路的能力。
　　一次，女孩和家人一起乘船旅行。船长的太太给孩子讲船长有一只天堂鸟，她被这只鸟的描述迷住了，极想亲自看一看。于是保姆把孩子留在甲板上，自己去找船长。孩子耐不住性子等待，她要求船上的服务生立即带她去看天堂鸟。那服务生并不知道她的腿不能走路，而只顾带着她一道去看那只美丽的小鸟。奇迹发生了，孩子因为过度地渴望，竟忘我地拉住服务生的手，慢慢地走了起来。从此，孩子的病便痊愈了。女孩子长大后，又忘我地投入到文学创作中，最后成为第一位荣获诺贝尔文学奖的女性，也就是茜尔玛·拉格萝芙。
　　温馨提示：忘我是走向成功的一条捷径，只有在这种环境中，人才会超越自身的束缚，释放出最大的能量。
