In our comparison?soaked (攀比成风的) culture, it's hard to avoid slipping into “Why can't I？” mode. When one of my colleagues who I think is not better than me published a new book, I couldn't help complaining how unachievable it seemed to me and what bad luck I had. Negative feelings like this made life dark for us. 1. Here's what I learned：

Don't compare your insides to someone else's outsides.

The first time I heard this excellent advice, I was suffering from terrible envy. My professor's warning shocked me that “You have no idea what it took for them to get there. Don't just owe it to pure luck. 2.”

She was absolutely right, yet it's much easier to envy what they've got than to ask the serious questions: What are they modeling for me? What have they done to get where they are today? 3.

Transform comparison into celebration.

Admiration and envy are responses pointing us toward what we value most. 4. If you notice yourself admiring people who take creative risks, bring your full attention to the part of you that wants to be braver.

_5.

Next time you catch yourself admiring or envying someone's success, take a moment to consider: What qualities in them inspire me? Where do I presently display these qualities? Remember the light we see in others can help us see our own!

A．Use the success of others as a mirror.

B．Learn to appreciate others' shining points.

C．How to get rid of the harmful effects of comparison needs exploring.

D．However, there is no doubt that good luck can't be ignored.

E．Instead, you should find out what's really going on behind the scenes.

F．And once we become aware of what we value, we are much better positioned to create a richly satisfying life.

G．When we reflect on these questions, we shift immediately out of comparison mode and turn inwards.

“Made in China” has Changed

Many shoppers in the West still prize labels, boasting (吹嘘) a product was made in Italy without knowing that a growing number of Italian products come from factories that are Chinese?owned and staffed. The products which were marked “Made in China” gave the buyer an impression of “low pride and low cost, low technology and development”. The statement used to be true, but now it has changed.

“Made in China” is becoming a leading part in the world market. China's garment industry (制衣业) has been investing in producing technology and training for decades, and its workforce has collectively gotten better at sewing garments. As a result, the quality of Chinese?made clothes is rising fast. It has been home to a highly?skilled, highly?specialized garment industry, one that supplies even some high?end (高端的) labels and offers the best mix of price, speed, and quality.

“If I was to make a basic men's jean, I'd make that in Pakistan，” said Edward Hertzman, co?owner of the trade publication Sourcing Journal. “If I was going to make a fashionable women's garment, I would move to China because their skill set is better, their hand is better, their finishing is better, and they can handle that type of fashion.”

Indeed, luxury fashion labels now routinely make things in China. Burberry, Armani, and Prada have all produced things there, because they're still able to get good workmanship at a relatively low price. Even the Japanese brand Visvim, known for its crazy attention to detail, also produces high?end, handmade footwear in China.

Despite the rising wages and costs of doing business in China, companies have not walked away. “China is viewed by people who make buying decisions as unique and hard to copy elsewhere，” says Josh Green, CEO of Panjiva.

1.Which of the following is NOT true about “Made in China”？

A．It used to be associated with poor quality.

B．It has lost its leading status in the world market.

C．Its products are recognized by luxury fashion brands.

D．It reflects China's investment in producing technology.

2.Edward Hertzman thinks highly of “Made in China” in such aspects as ________.

①workers' skills ②low prices

③advanced technology ④a sense of fashion

A．①②③ B．①②④

C．②③④ D．①③④

3.What is the similarity between Prada and Visvim?

A．Both of them are from Japan.

B．Neither of them sells at a low price.

C．They both make products in China.

D．They both produce handmade footwear.

【小题】What can be learned from the last paragraph?

A．Doing business in China costs a lot more now.

B．Chinese companies are more creative than others.

C．Foreign producers want to copy China's success.

D．Rising costs stop the interest of foreign companies.

Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart. They will in a lifetime, push the chrome?plated_contraptions many miles. But few will know — or even think to ask — who it was that invented them.

Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.

One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.

On June 4, 1937, Goldman's first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn't wait to see them using his invention.

But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.

After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren't using his carts. “Don't you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket？” one shopper replied.

But Goldman wasn't beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假的) customers.

As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come — those who came bought more. With larger easier?to?handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.

Today's shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman's original model. Perhaps that's one reason why Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937 — the coming of the shopping cart.

1.What do the underlined words “chrome?plated contraptions” in the first paragraph refer to?

A．Baskets. B．Private cars.

C．Suitcases. D．Shopping carts.

2.What was the purpose of Goldman's invention?

A．It was to prove him to be a good inventor.

B．It was to reduce the burden of his employees' work.

C．It was to make shopping easier and attract more business.

D．It was to help the disabled make shopping easily in his market.

3.Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market in order to ________.

A．attract people to buy things in his market

B．encourage people to use his shopping carts

C．make his market different from the others

D．keep the groceries from being stolen

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Goldman will become very famous because of his invention.

B．Goldman's invention will be regarded as the greatest one in the world.

C．Supermarket business has benefited a lot from Goldman's invention.

D．There will be nothing that can replace Goldman's invention.

Life in 2060

Let us suppose it is now about A．D. 2060. Let's make believe (假装；虚构) it is about 45 years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.

Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air?conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.

What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.

Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.

Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.

People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animal decreases. Therefore, people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.

Such would be our life in 2060.

1.When was the passage written?

A．In about A．D. 2060. B．In about 1960.

C．In about 2014. D．In about 2015.

2.According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A．D. 2060?

A．Many other animals. B．Many tourists.

C．Many plants. D．A sea.

3.What will people eat then according to the passage?

A．Biscuits in pill form. B．Foods in pill form.

As the November cold begins to take control

in the UK, Bonfire Night (or Guy Fawkes Night) is a chance to wrap up in winter clothes and warm up by the fire.

Celebrated on November 5, Guy Fawkes Night has been part of British history since 1605, when Fawkes was found trying to blow up parliament (议会) with barrels of gunpowder. Now, it is traditional for Britons to make a fake (假的) “Guy” every year from old clothes and burn it on the fire.

If you visit a small town in the southwest of the country, you might see men from the village run through the crowded streets with huge wooden barrels on their backs, then fill them with tar (焦油) and set them on fire. And in Lewes, a town in the southern English county of Sussex, different groups of bonfire societies parade (游行) the streets, each wearing their own unique outfits and carrying a giant mascot (吉祥物), which they burn at their own bonfire party at the end of the evening.

Bonfire Night is also a time for “chili con carne”， a dish made from slow?cooked beef mince, tomatoes, kidney beans, onions, and spices. It is often served on top of a hot jacket potato with butter and cheese. It's not the most elegant dish in the world but it's sure to warm people up while they brave the cold for the festivities.

But for many Britons, the night is not complete without “bonfire treacle toffee (太妃糖)”， which is also known as “plot toffee”， named after Guy Fawkes' plot to blow up parliament. The toffee is rock hard and is often broken with a hammer and handed out to guests.

Whether it's the sound of fireworks making Britain sound like a war zone, the hearty winter food, or the excuse to light a huge fire, Bonfire Night has something for everyone. Just watch out for those rockets!

1.What is Guy Fawkes Night?

A．A person to explode the parliament.

B．A guy to be controlled in the UK.

C．A symbol for Britons to enter winter.

D．A dish famous to British people.

2.Why do people have “chili con carne”？

A．Because it's the most elegant.

B．Because it's full of energy.

C．Because it's on jacket potatoes.

D．Because it's slowly cooked.

3.The underlined word “rockets” refers to “________”．

A．celebrations B．fireworks

C．performances D．bonfires

4.What is the text mainly about?

A．The origin of Guy Fawkes Night.

B．The introduction of a traditional food.

C．A complete toffee on Bonfire Night.

D．Activities on the night of November 5 in Britain.

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

One day, my brother and I were alone in our apartment. The reason was that my parents had both gone for a ball party and had left me in charge of everything. I was doing my homework while my younger brother was watching television. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Ding-Dong! Ding-Dong! My younger brother had rushed to the door before I decided to answer the door. We both thought that our parents had come home. As a result, he unlocked the door and opened it.

Outside of the house stood a man who wore a black raincoat and black rubber boots. He looked no different from other people and he said that he was a salesman and asked politely if our mother or father was at home so he could talk with them.

Without any thinking, my brother said, “No.” He asked if we would like to buy some comic books, which he was selling. I quickly explained to him that we were not supposed to buy anything without our parents’ permission. However, it seemed that he was not willing to follow my advice and he had an intention to enter our house.

Then I realized something terrible would happen. As I was about to close the door, he forced his way into our house. He took out a knife and forced me to tie up my brother’s hands with some rope which he took out from his pocket. I tied up his hands but I tied in a special way so my brother could untie himself as we often did. The man then tied my hands up and locked both of us in the kitchen.

Soon he went upstairs to search the bedroom for something valuable. I managed to teach my brother to untie the rope on his hands. He then untied me. I rushed to the telephone to call the police, but the line was dead.
