Read the passage carefully． Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words．
Hidden deep in our subconscious is an idyllic（牧歌般的，田园诗式的）vision． We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent． We are traveling by train． Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls． But uppermost in our minds is the final destination． On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station． Bands will be playing and flags waving． Once we get there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle． How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for hanging around—waiting, waiting, waiting for the station． “When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry． “When I’m 18．”; “When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz!”; “When I put the last kid through college．”; “When I paid off the mortgage!”; “When I get a promotion．”; “When I reach the age of retirement, I shall live happily ever after!” Sooner or later, we must realize there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all． The true joy of life is the trip． The station is only a dream． It constantly outdistances us． “Relish（享受）the moment” is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 180: 24: “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it．” It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad, it is the regrets over yesterday and fear of tomorrow． Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today． So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles． Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less． Life must be lived as we go along． The station will come soon enough．

小题4: Life must be lived as we go along. / Enjoying life (as it goes along) / Enjoying each/every day of life./Relish the moment. |
解析
小题1: A (long) trip. 根据短文内容，特别是“The true joy of life is the trip． The station is only a dream． It constantly outdistances us．”(人生真正的趣味在于旅行本身。车站只是一个梦，永远遥不可及。)故此题答案应写为：A (long) trip.
小题2:life’s final destination 根据文中的“But uppermost in our minds is the final destination．”(然而我们心里想的最多的却是最终的目的地。)故此空格应写life’s final destination.
小题3:the burdens of today, the regrets over yesterday and fear of tomorrow 根据短文中提到的“It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad, it is the regrets over yesterday and fear of tomorrow． Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today．”(真正令人发疯的不是今日的负担，而是对昨日的悔恨以及对明天的恐惧。悔恨与恐惧是夺走我们今天的一对孪生窃贼。)故此空应写: the burdens of today, the regrets over yesterday and fear of tomorrow.
小题4: Life must be lived as we go along. / Enjoying life (as it goes along) / Enjoying each/every day of life. /Relish the moment. 根据短文最后“Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more, cry less．Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough．”(相反，多爬爬山，多吃点冰淇淋，经常赤脚漫步，多在河里游游泳，多看看日落，多点欢笑哈哈，少让泪水滴答。我们必须生活下去。车站就会很快到达。)故此题答案应写为：Life must be lived as we go along. / Enjoying life (as it goes along) / Enjoying each/every day of life. /Relish the moment. |

Encouraging your high school student to do his/her best isn’t as hard as you may think. It does take time and effort, but it should become part of a daily routine that both you and your teen can enjoy more than dread （担忧）. Here are some tips that can help you.
1. 1 Know what classes he/she is taking, what your teen thinks of the teacher and/or ask if your teen feels he/she is learning anything. This is excellent dinner table conversation if you can keep it light and positive.
2. Set the expectations. 2 You would not do your teen any favors by not telling him/her what grades you will be expecting. Send a clear message to your teen about the grades you expect to see in each class. 3 Keep your expectations in line with what your teen feels he/she can do.
3. 4 While your teen will need to keep his/her goals in line with your expectations, he/she may have a goal that he/she feels is important too. Learning to establish goals teaches independence, one of the things your teen needs to learn to become a successful adult.
4. Have what they need at home, or a way to get it. 5 Your family should have library cards and a way to access the Internet for homework. Without these things, your teen could be at a disadvantage. It is also a good idea to set up a mobile homework center.
Finally, don’t forget to praise your teen for a job well done.| A．Help him/her establish goals. | | B．Talk to your teen about school. | | C．Learning in a classroom is a two-way street. | | D．Resources are important for high school students. |
E. Teens need a clear map of what you want them to do.
F. Set a good example and show him/her your love of learning.

Water is very important to us, without that there would be no life. We couldn’t live if we didn’t have water. Therefore, some people don’t turn the tap off at once after using it. Some people don’t realize they wash them in the shower too long. Some even throw away bottles full in water. As middle school students, we should make great efforts to save water.

I just come back from Britain last week. I was luckily enough to be one of the student from different countries to visit the UK from Feb.16 to 28. We paid a visit to many places, like London, Oxford or the Lake District. I learned much about British culture and history in London, where was my favorite. I also liked Oxford, in which I saw much more old buildings. The Lake District was beautiful, but it was pity that it rained heavily when they were there. The most excited thing for me in the Britain was that I made a lot of friends there. |

The Winner’s Guide to Success
How do successful people think? What helps them to make success? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America. 1
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. 2 You’re saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”
Live life “on purpose”
Almost all successful people live life “on purpose”— they are doing what they believe they should and want to do. When you live your life on purpose, you’ll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can. You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do.
Write a plan
It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. 3 A good plan is like a map to you. Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
Be willing to pay the price
Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.
Never give up 4 When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope. 5 Once an American writer was writing a novel. He could not have a good ending for his book until one night when he had a very good idea. He was so excited that he made a phone call to one of his best friends. “I’ve got a perfect idea,” he said, “I’ll put it down later and show it to you.” But he never did, because he died that night. His book was left without a perfect ending. So remember, do what you can right away. Never delay at all. | A．It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. | | B．It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done. | | C．Some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work. | | D．In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you’re giving away your own power. |
E. Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.
F. Don’t delay
G. Here are some keys to success that they give. |
