Jealousy (嫉妒) is a horrible feeling that weeds its way into your life and relationships before you know it. You might want something someone else has, or feel like they’re happier than you. It might seem like an uncontrollable emotion, but it’s truly not!
Remember your big accomplishments. If your coworker gets the promotion you wanted, it doesn’t mean you haven’t done great work. List out your accomplishments and think about how you got them and what you’ve done since then. You’ll quickly find that you’re just as worthy as the person you’re envying!
Appreciate your own good fortune. Think of where you are in your life and how you got there. Did you just buy your first car? Are you able to save one paycheck each month? Are you surrounded by loving family and amazing friends? You have a lot of good things，and you have a lot of good fortune coming your way. Stop letting jealousy eat you alive and realize that you can better spend that energy on furthering your own success and happiness.
Appreciate that others can do what you can’t. How boring would life be if everyone was the same? What if the entire population of your city was applying for your job, and they all had the same qualifications? Appreciate that everyone is different. Some people are better in powerful management positions, while maybe you’re better working with people. A friend might be an excellent artist—a quality you’re envious of, but don’t forget that you’re a great musician! Acknowledge that people need to be different, need to be better at various things.

How many times have you got upset because someone wasn’t doing his job，because your child isn’t behaving？How many times have you been irritated (惱怒的) when you’ve planned something carefully and things didn’t go as you’d hoped?
This kind of anger and irritation happens to all of us—it’s part of the human experiences.
One thing that irritates me is when people talk during a movie，or cut me off in traffic.Actually，I have a lot of these little annoyances—don’t we all？And it isn’t always easy to find peace when you’ve become upset or irritated.
Let me tell you a little secret to finding peace of mind：see_the_glass_as_already_broken.
See，the cause of our stress，anger and irritation is that things don’t go the way we like，the way we expect them to.Think of how many times this has been true for you.And so the solution is simple：expect things to go wrong，expect things to be different than we hoped or planned，expect the unexpected to happen.And accept it.
One quick example：on our recent trip to Japan，I told my kids to expect things to go wrong—they always do   on a trip.I told them，“See it as part of the adventure.”
And this worked like a charm.When we inevitably (不可避免地) took the wrong train on a foreign­language subway system，or when it rained on the day we went to Disney Sea，or when we took three trains and walked 10 blocks only to find the National Children’s Castle closed on Mondays...they said，“It’s part of the adventure！” And it was all OK—we didn’t get too bothered.
So when the nice glass you bought inevitably falls and breaks some day，you might get upset.But things will be different，if you see the glass as already broken，from the day you get it.You know it’ll break some day，so from the beginning，see it as already broken.Be a time­traveler，or someone with time­traveling vision，and see the future of this glass，from this moment until it inevitably breaks.And when it breaks，you won’t be upset or sad—because it was already broken，from the day you got it.And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.
小題1:The author would probably agree that________.
A．we should control our anger and irritation
B．we must get well prepared for the future
C．optimism can help us overcome our anger and irritation
D．a(chǎn)nger and irritation is a natural part of our life
小題2:The purpose of the author is to________.
A．tell us his own experience in life
B．a(chǎn)dvise us how to find peace of mind
C．tell us a happy trip he took with his children
D．a(chǎn)sk us to see things from both sides
小題3:By the underlined part (in Para.4)，the author tells us  to________.
A．get ready for the worst result of things
B．enjoy the process of things
C．expect little from life
D．find the relationship between cause and effect

A．often gets angry in his life
B．can adjust his state of mind accordingly
C．a(chǎn)lways expects others to act in his way
D．a(chǎn)lways suffers from his anger and irritation

A job is more than just a job，especially to the older generation.“It’s not the money that matters，but the sense of self­worth，” 56­year­old Cheng Wonlan said.So，every day Ms Cheng carries a bag of parcels，letters and documents of all shapes and sizes and does her rounds in North Point.She’s a courier(快遞人員)．
Five years ago，Ms Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic.She had worked there for almost 30 years but was made jobless when the doctor migrated(移居)．It was extremely difficult for her to find another job.“People do not trust my ability when they learn how old I am，” she said.After two years of searching，the mother of two eventually found another nursing job.But then after two years，she quit.Why?
“My colleagues were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age.They often asked me，‘You are so old；what are you working for？’ I was very unhappy.” she said.So while the rest of her family left for work，she was left to lonely boredom at home.The urge to work drove her to suffering.Then，one of Ms Cheng’s neighbours told her about Employee’s Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining courses for older people on specific occupations，such as convenience store assistants，junior clerks and so on.
“I was interested in courier work.I didn’t think my age was a barrier because I was fit and healthy.So I thought why not give it a try.” she said.Upon graduation from the ERB，Ms Cheng was offered a job by the Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company Limited.But then Ms Cheng was faced with a conflict：she was caught between honour and employment.It took Ms Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind and eventually came to the conclusion that there was nothing wrong or embarrassing about doing the job.So she took heart and went off to work as a courier.
Ms Cheng’s employer is delighted with her，“Ms Cheng has been working with us for two months and has shown a good responsible attitude to work.”Anthony Chong，who runs the company，said.Currently，Mr Chong has 60 couriers working for his company：five of them are over fifty，four of whom have been through the ERB plan.Mr Chong said he hired older people because they were able and reliable.“Age is not an important factor but attitude is.Many old people are more capable than the youngsters.They will not run from difficulties but the young ones will，” he said.“It is not easy to recruit (招募) young people since they shy away from hardship and challenges.”
小題1:Why was it difficult for Ms Cheng to find another nursing job?
A．Nursing clinics were hard to find.
B．People thought that old people couldn’t be trusted.
C．People thought she was too old to take on a new job.
D．People didn’t think she had enough working experience.
小題2:Ms Cheng left her second nursing job because ________.
A．she was bored
B．it was too difficult
C．she was too old to do the job
D．the other staff made her feel uncomfortable
小題3:Employee’s Retraining Board is a plan for ________.
A．finding jobs for older people
B．teaching new skills to older people
C．training older people to be couriers
D．giving older people something to do in their spare time
小題4:When Ms Cheng was offered the courier job she ________.

Habits，whether good or bad，are gradually formed when a person does a certain thing again.He is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, and then a habit is formed．Once a habit is formed，it is difficult，and sometimes impossible，to get rid of．It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits．Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live older. Persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live，and sometimes become ruined by them．
There are other habits which，when formed in early life，are of great help．Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life，such as early rising，honesty and so on．

The Swiss army knife is a popular device that is recognized all over the world. In Switzerland, there is a saying that every good Swiss citizen has one in his or her pocket. But the knife had poor beginnings.
In the late nineteenth century, the Swiss army issued（發(fā)給） its soldiers a gun that required a special screwdriver（螺絲刀） to take it apart and clean it. At the same time, canned food was becoming common in the army. Swiss generals decided to issue each soldier a standard knife to serve both as a screwdriver and a can opener.
It was a lifesaver for Swiss knife makers, who were struggling to compete with cheaper German imports. In 1884, Carl Elsener, head of the Swiss knife manufacturer（maker） Victorinox, seized that opportunity with both hands, and designed a soldier's knife that the army loved. It was a simple knife with one big blade(刀片), a can opener, and a screwdriver.
A few years after the soldier's knife was issued, the "Schweizer Offizier Messer," or Swiss Officer's Knife, came on the market. Interestingly, the Officer's Knife was never given to those serving in the army. The Swiss army purchasers considered the new model with a corkscrew（瓶塞鉆） for opening wine not "essential for survival," so officers had to buy this new model by themselves. But its special multi-functional design later launched(發(fā)行) the knife as a global brand. After the Second World War, a great number of American soldiers were stationed in Europe. And as they could buy the Swiss army knife at shops on army bases, they bought huge quantities of them. However, it seems that "Schweizer Offizier Messer" was too difficult for them to say, so they just called it the Swiss army knife, and that is the name it is now known by all over the world.
小題1:What is the main purpose of the passage­?
A．To explain the origin of the Swiss army knife.
B．To introduce the functions of the Swiss army knife.
C．To emphasize the importance of the Swiss army knife.
D．To tell a story about the designer of the Swiss army knife.
小題2:What does "It" in the third paragraph refer to­?
A．The Swiss army needed a knife for every soldier.
B．Every good Swiss citizen had a knife in his pocket.
C．Swiss knives were competing with imported knives.
D．Canned food was becoming popular in the Swiss army.
小題3:Why didn't the Swiss army purchase the Swiss Officer's Knife­?
A．The design of the knife was too simple.
B．The knife was sold out to American soldiers.
C．The army had no budget to make the purchase.
D．The new design was not considered necessary for officers to own.
小題4:Who gave the name "the Swiss army knife" to the knife discussed in the passage­?
A．Carl Elsener.B．Swiss generals.
C．American soldiers.D．German businessmen.

Although similar in appearance to hyenas(土狼), African wild dogs are nevertheless true wild canine(犬). They are a mixture of black, yellow, and white in such a wide variety of patterns that no two individuals look exactly alike. African wild dogs are widely distributed across the African plains but they do not live in jungle areas.
They are social animals, living in groups of usually from 2 to 45 individuals. A hierarchy（統(tǒng)團） exists within the group,  but the animals are friendly to one another. The young and the infirm（體弱的） are given special privileges within the group.
African wild dogs use their sense of sight, not smell, to find their prey. They can run up to 55 km/h for several kilometers. In eastern Africa, they mostly hunt Thomson's gazelles, but they will also attack calves, warthogs, zebras, impalas, and the young of large antelopes such as the gnu.
Growing human populations have decreased or degraded the African wild dog's habitat and also diminished their available prey. Road kill and human persecution（迫害） have also had a negative impact on African wild dog populations. This species is also susceptible to a variety of diseases such as distemper, which is controlled in domestic .dogs. Conservation of the African wild dog's natural habitat must have the highest priority, as these dogs suffer in habitats modified by human intrusion（干擾）．

A．African wild dogs are completely different from domestic dogs in size, weight
B．African wild dogs are living in groups
C．African wild dogs use their eyes mostly when sleeping to guard
D．African wild dogs use their noses to find their food in most cases
