When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the __1__ side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to __2__ in good health, or __3__ about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to __4__ damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text __5__ the title. Therefore, the scissors would __6__ before they start, __7__ halfway done when I find out the __8__ result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your __9__. You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be __10__ up.
But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left__11__. Thus you are __12__ in a difficult position and feel sad. How __13__ that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life __14__ greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.
In fact that is what __15__ is like: we are often __16__ with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that your attention is drawn to one thing only __17__ we get into another. The __18__ may be more important than the latter and give rise to divided mind. I __19__ remember a philosopher's remarks, “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual __20__ may not be a bad one.

語篇解讀：剪報時遇到的一些問題引發了作者對生活的一些思索：有時一個隨意的選擇并不是壞的選擇。
1.從下文the opposite one is likely to...可知此處意為：但是當我想這樣做的時候，我發現背面的文章也很有趣。
2．它可能是一篇討論如何保持健康的文章。keep in health“保持健康”，是固定用法。
3．或者是關于如何在社會生活中為人處事的建議。此處的advice和前面的way相對應。
4．背面的文章有可能遭受損害。suffer“遭受”；reduce“減少”；prevent“預防”；cause“引起”。
5．文章只留下一半或者文章沒有了題目。
6．因此，剪刀會在開始之前或剪到一半的時候停在那兒。
7．見上題解析。halfway done“完成一半”。
8．當我發現這個遺憾的結果的時候。satisfying“滿意的”；regretful“遺憾的”；surprising“驚訝的”；impossible“不可能的”。
9．有時兩件事情需要你同時做，并且兩件事都值得你關注。courage“勇氣”；strength“力氣”；attention“注意”；patience“耐心”。最后一段第二句話也有提示。
10．另一件必須等待或者是被放棄。give up“放棄”。
11．這里選D，承接上段末尾處的to wait or be given up。變化了的情形可能不允許你去做已經落在后面的事情。leave behind“拋在后面；落后�！�
12. 這樣你就陷在困境中并感到悲傷。be caught in“遇到，被困在�！�
13．好的機會和絕妙的想法怎么會同時聚在一起呢？how come“怎么會？”；all at once“同時”。
14．有可能當你偏愛一種選擇勝過另一種時，你的生活會發生很大的改變。
15．事實上生活就是這樣。由本段后面討論的內容可知“學習”“社會”“自然”均不符合語境。
16．我們總是要面對一個事情對立的兩個方面。be faced with“面對”�！�
17．通常，在你遇到另一件事之前，你的注意力只集中在一件事情上。
18．從下文the latter可知選former�！�
19．我還(still)記得一位哲學家的話。
20．一個隨意的選擇可能不是糟糕的。

My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to male it to 45. He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.
Since the day 1 was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my
beart. One it aways times out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one hay, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask. “Is this what you were talking about, Dad?

But trust my That elic will be more comlece, that love will be more real, and their belief in the nelces whi be greater if you write the words on their hearts; “Don’t worry; you’ll do something great.” Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.

When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking enthusiastically. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high="speed" Internet connection. It was pretty cool.
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send an e-mail that gets read to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown. The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www. Facemail.com.
Facemail faces are lifelike, and they copy emotions based on the ones that you put in your text. For example, type in X, and Rachel blows a kiss.
Life FX, the company that develops the Facemail is sure there are broad business uses. The reason e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? And the company is talking with Whirlpool about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom can’t be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.
Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I’m a fan. But Facemail should be used with words in an e-mail and add angry emotions when you’ve got a psycho-mail.

根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. _ _【小題1】
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. _【小題2】 The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated （受阻）by limited understanding. __【小題3】__
Here is some of t
he advice I give my students:
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
● Do not translate everything into your native language.
●__【小題4】___ Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
● Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 【小題5】 Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A．But  you can’t follow a native English speaker at all! |
| B．What should you do? |
| C．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners! |
| D．However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany. |
