There is an old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”．1.I’d say, too many．Our dreams should not, and cannot wait．We have to go for them now! Here’s why．

1． 2.

Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is – everybody is going to die at one point．None of us know the day, or the hour．Therefore, today is all we have．Don’t go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams．Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now．

2．The world is waiting for your gift

I know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting for YOU! Yes, YOU! 3. Sure, other people may be able to sing．But they’ll never be able to sing exactly like you．Sure other people can write, but they’ll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write．Don’t deprive the world of your gift．It’s the oxygen that we need to survive．Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use it to better your life and the lives of those around you．

3．4.

You can dream about writing the great American play that you want, but it’s never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper．You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure．5.They require you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the work to make them happen．Get to it!

A．You can‘t let fear win．

B．Tomorrow is not promised．

C．In other words, dreams don’t work unless you do．

D．How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow?

E．You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody on this earth can copy．

F．Possibilities you never knew existed are waiting on you．

G．Unless you take the first step, your dreams will never come true．

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。

Our oldest daughter is having trouble letting go of an old red sofa．

It’s not the sofa she’s having trouble letting go of as much as the memories．It was their first sofa．It has been loaded and unloaded onto moving trucks seven times．Three kids have eaten on it，dripped on it，and jumped on it．

Yet she’s having a hard time letting go and asked if I thought that was strange．

“Completely，” I said．“You get it from me．”

When we were ready to get rid of our baby things，I sold our crib (嬰兒床) at the neighborhood garage sale．I had pieces of it in the garage and the other pieces of it still in the house．A young woman said she wanted to buy it．

My throat tightened and the tears began to well．She pulled out cash and I cheered up．

But by the time I returned with the other pieces to the crib，I was all sobbing．“Have you considered that maybe you’re not ready to sell it?” the woman asked．

“No-o-o-o，” I cried．“It’s fine，really，” I said．“Take it．”

Our attachment to stuff grows in direct relationship to the amount of time it has sat in one place．The longer it sits，the harder it is to get rid of it．You think: “Hey，we’ve hung onto it this long – it must be valuable!” As though yellowing and a layer of dust increase value．

People who find it extremely hard to part with things have been made into entertainment in a television show called Hoarders．If an episode (集) of that isn’t depressing enough for you，producers now offer Extreme Hoarders．Both of which are not to be outdone by Storage Wars，a show about aggressive people who bid on other people’s storage units．

Let the sofa go，I told my daughter．It served its purpose．You can get a new one．Give the kids some crackers (餅干) and juice and it will be like the old one in six weeks．

1.What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence “You get it from me”?

A．“You can get another sofa from me．”

B．“You can get mental support from me．”

C．“You behave just the same way I do．”

D．“You are asking the right person to help you．”

2.When the writer was selling the crib，_____．

A．she felt relieved that there was someone willing to buy it

B．she showed a strong attachment to the old item

C．she couldn’t decide whether or not to sell it in the end

D．she changed her mind in hopes of keeping it and increasing its value

3.The writer refers to the television shows to _____．

A．prove that it’s depressing to get attached to old stuff

B．explain what contributes to people’s attachment to old stuff

C．show that people in TV shows live the same lives as ordinary people do

D．prove that it’s actually common for people to find it hard to get rid of old stuff

4.Which opinion might the writer agree with according to the article?

A．If you give away old stuff regularly，you are wasteful．

B．If the old stuff has done what it was supposed to，then let it go．

C．Nothing is more valuable than your love for your old stuff．

D．The older your stuff is，the less trouble you have getting rid of it．

Two people have died after two separate university shootings in Texas and Arizona, just hours apart． One person was killed and three injured in the first shooting at Northern Arizona University early on Friday． Later that morning a shooting at a student complex near Texas Southern University left one person dead．

In Arizona, police named the gunman there as Steven Jones, an 18-year-old first year student at Northern Arizona University．Mr． Jones told police he was approached by a group of men and attacked．He fled, produced a gun from his pocket and opened fire when the men caught up with him, Arizona police said．Witnesses told police that the victims were unarmed．

The second shooting in Texas happened later on Friday morning at the University Courtyard Apartments on the edge of the Houston campus． One student was killed, a freshman at the school, the university confirmed, and another person was wounded．Two people have been arrested as suspects and a third is still at large, said Houston police spokeswoman Jodi Silva．

The attacks came as President Barack Obama visited families of victims of a college shooting in Oregon． On arriving in Oregon, he was jeered(嘲笑) by gun rights activists who oppose calls he made for tougher gun laws after nine people were killed at Umpqua Community College, Roseburg, last week．

After a private meeting with families, Mr Obama said he had "strong feelings" about gun control, adding: "We are going to have to come together as a country to see how we can prevent these issues from taking place．”

On the edge of this little American town, a few hundred protestors gathered to tell their president he was not welcome． Many were openly carrying handguns to hammer home their message． The demonstrators blamed the shooting here last week on two things: a failure to treat mental health problems and the designation of Umpqua Community College as a gun-free zone． Many of those we spoke to said they had travelled to Roseburg from elsewhere in Oregon to make their voices hear． The hostility to the Democratic president here in Republican rural Oregon was not just political, it was personal．

1.How many people were dead in these two recent university shootings?

A． One．

B． Two．

C． Three．

D． Four．

2.Which of the following is right about the Northern Arizona University shooting?

A． The gunman was about to graduate．

B． It was the victims who started the fight．

C． The gunman shot the victims out of hatred．

D． The victims attacked the gunman with knives．

3.Mr． Obama probably agreed that ____________．

A． gun control is too strict in most parts of America, especially in universities

B． designation of Umpqua community college as a gun-free zone is a wrong decision

C． Americans should be united to prevent criminal shooting from happening so frequently

D．A failure to treat mental health problems caused the shooting at Umpqua Community College

4.The underlined words in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ____________．

A． emphasize

B． digest

C． commit

D． respond

When I am feeling down, I listen to uplifting music to lift my spirits. When I want to calm down, I listen to Indian classical instrumental music. Many times, I look at contemporary Indian art － either in real art galleries or in virtual art galleries on the Web to improve my mood. I particularly like the paintings with vibrant（鮮明的）colors or ones which present a calm landscape using gentle colors.

Art therapy （治療） uses the creation or viewing of art to help people discover and express their feelings. Unlike art for art’s sake, which focuses on the finished piece, art therapy focuses on the process of creation itself. Art therapists believe that the act of making a piece of art triggers internal activity that contributes to physical, emotional and spiritual healing. For people who are not able or ready to create art, going to an art museum or looking through art books or virtual art galleries can also be helpful. Simply viewing art refreshes the spirit and promotes relaxation.

Art therapy is helpful in healing in various ways. The aesthetic（審美的）quality of the work produced can lift a person’s mood, boost self-awareness, improve self-esteem and increase self-confidence. Also, research shows that physiological functions, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration（呼吸）, become slow when people are deeply involved in an activity they enjoy.

Because art therapy uses a language other than words, it is often employed in treating patients with physical or emotional illnesses who have difficulty talking about their fears or hopes, or about their anger and other strong emotions. The creation of art helps people get in touch with thoughts and feelings that are often hidden from the conscious mind.

Stress reduction is also a significant benefit. Studies have shown that repressing strong feelings can lead to a buildup of stress, and that stress can intensify pain and the symptoms of various diseases. Because art therapy helps people access their unconscious mind and release pent-up（被抑制的） emotions, it has been found to be very useful in treating those suffering from stress and stress-related illnesses.

1.How does the author start the passage ?

A. By describing his own experiences.

C. By explaining a certain term.

B. By presenting a certain fact.

D. By giving figures.

2.The underlined word “triggers” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “___________ ”.

A. ignoresB. causesC. decreasesD. prevents

3.All of the following are helpful in healing EXCEPT _____________.

A. going to an art museum

C. surfing on the Internet

B. going to the virtual art galleries

D. reading art books

4.Why is art therapy useful to patients with physical or emotional illnesses?

A. It lets them forget about their fears.

C. It helps improve their social skills.

B. It helps them release their hidden feelings.

D. It helps them hide their feelings.
