[1]All people have dreams and they obey the rule that if you can dream it, you can achieve it! Here are four goals for people to reach a perfect life in their future.

[2]The first goal common to all of us in health and energy. We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness. Today, with the incredible advances in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan, is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits. Remember that health is not everything, but without health everything is nothing!

[3]The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships – intimate, personal or social – with the people we like and respect, and who                         is turn. Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they     , have more impact on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor.

The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it. You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted (晋升) faster. You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you do.

The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence. You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have any financial worries. You want to be completely free of them. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without referring to the price listing to determine what you want to eat.

New train route opens from China to Germany
A container(集装箱) train left Beijing on Wednesday on its way to Hamburg, Germany. The new service was welcomed as real progress made in international rail cooperation.
The train will travel about 9,800 kilometers through six countries, including China, Mongolia, Russia, Belarus, Poland and Germany. The trip has gained support from those in customs declaration and clearance.
Zhang Mingli, chairman of China Conainer Transportation Co., said, “This can be seen as a breakthrough in our cooperation. Today , railway officials from six countries are here to witness this event. This is very important to the development of the Asia-Europe Continental Bridge. This means of transportation has great potential for the countries involved.”
Cargo on board includes electronic products, textiles and shoes. The trip to Hamburg, Germany will take 18 days. The same trip would take at least 40 days by container ship.
Tomasl Palaszewski, vice president of Polish Natiional Railway, said, “There is big potential for container transportation to Europe.  The ceremony today shows that it will bring big benefits to all of us. So we hope that it will not only be a pilot train, but a permanent connection between China and Europe.”
Railway officials from the six countries will discuss detailed measures to advance container transportation.
Experts expect that the new land route will take a big slice of the pie of Chinese­-EU trade. But improvements in Chinese railway networks will still matter. China has plans to invest huge amounts of money to build up 18 railway container terminals in the coming five years.

How many times have you got upset because someone wasn’t doing his jobbecause your child isn’t behavingHow many times have you been irritated (恼怒的) 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 movieor cut me off in traffic.ActuallyI have a lot of these little annoyances—don’t we allAnd 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 mindsee_the_glass_as_already_broken.

Seethe cause of our stressanger and irritation is that things don’t go the way we likethe way we expect them to.Think of how many times this has been true for you.And so the solution is simpleexpect things to go wrongexpect things to be different than we hoped or plannedexpect the unexpected to happen.And accept it.

One quick exampleon our recent trip to JapanI 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 foreign?language subway systemor when it rained on the day we went to Disney Seaor 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 dayyou might get upset.But things will be differentif you see the glass as already brokenfrom the day you get it.You know it’ll break some dayso from the beginningsee it as already broken.Be a time?traveleror someone with time?traveling visionand see the future of this glassfrom this moment until it inevitably breaks.And when it breaksyou won’t be upset or sad—because it was already brokenfrom the day you got it.And you’ll realize that every moment you have with it is precious.

We show an amazing tolerance for a form of pollution that is a growing problem: noise. Airplane traffic is increasing by five percent a year. Urban noise is doubling every ten years. By air, land and sea, we are facing an onslaught of noise that is threatening our ability to live in this world. We have granted ourselves the right to make noise. But what about our responsibilities? Have we developed a sense of acoustic responsibility?

The evidence suggests that we have not. Many people seem to believe they have an unlimited right to make noise with cars and motorbikes, and with loud music at home and in the street. In some countries measures have been taken to force people to make less noise. In Britain, for example, a law has been passed preventing people from disturbing their neighbors with music at night.

It is widely accepted that we should deal with our rubbish in a responsible way Noise is in reality a particularly insidious form of rubbish. It destroys community life, pursues us into our homes, keeps us from sleeping and is the cause of many stress-related illnesses, as well as hearing loss. Our acoustic environment belongs to all of us. Everyone has the right to use it, but no one has the right to abuse it. Let’s start using it responsibly.

A. environment          B. pollution              C. sound             D. rubbish

       [1]Hi, I write this letter to you, my parents, to let you know what I’m thinking.

       [2]Running a business, raising three children, then raising all three into self-sufficient college graduates is difficult to do.While loving each child individually and fairly, strict house rules have also developed…going out late is difficult to accomplish.I would like to suggest setting a later curfew (宵禁), maybe midnight, or even one o’clock in the morning.

       [3]While working up to twenty hours a week, my social life has been on the decline since school started.Naturally, you understand how important my friends are to me.Looking back to the summer, there have been many nights that I have wanted to go out, but if it was past nine o’clock, I would not be allowed to.You tell me to go to the party until my curfew, but if the rule continues, I will see my friends for an hour.Seeing my friends for an hour is better than nothing, but not enough to communicate with others.
