Once upon a time a washer man(洗衣工) had two donkeys（毛驴）. Let’s say Donkey-A and Donkey-B.
Donkey –A felt it was very 36 and could do better than the other. It always tried to 37 more load(担子) and walk fast in front of the washer man.
Innocent(无辜的) Donkey-B was 38, so it would walk normally, regardless of(不管/不顾) the washer man’s preference. 39 a period of time, the washer man started urging Donkey-B to be like Donkey-A.
Donkey-B, unable to walk fast, got continuous 40 from the washer man. It cried and said personally to Donkey-A, “Dear friend, only we two are here, why do we have to 41 with each other? We can carry 42 load at normal speed.
That made Donkey-A more energetic（精力充沛的）and it told the washer man that it could carry more load and 43 faster. The washer man started 44 Donkey-B to make it run faster. During the following days, Donkey-A carried more load and started running even faster.
But it was hard for Donkey-B to 45 that way. The washer man was disappointed, 46 he punished Donkey-B terribly, and finally it fell down 47.
Then the load of Donkey-B was also being 48 by Donkey-A, and still it had to run fast. Finally due to great tiredness it got tired and started feeling the 49.
But the washer man 50 more from Donkey-A. It tried its best, but couldn’t 51 his owner’s expectations. The washer man got angry with Donkey-A and started 52 it to take more load. But it couldn’t come to the owner’s 53. Finally the day came when due to disappointment the washer man killed Donkey-A and began 54 some other donkeys.
Think all colleagues(同事)are just the same and that everyone is 55. Don’t feel happy when your colleague is under pressure.

I am a long distance runner. When I was thirty-one, I was in a serious car accident. The doctor told me that they would try to get me to walk “normally” but I would never run again—terrible news for someone who views running as the oxygen(氧气) she breathes. The doctors were right. For the next nine and a half years, I was unable to run more than twenty-five feet.
In 2006, I began self-training to take part in a 60-mile walk. Three months into preparing, I realized that walking 4-5 hours a day was too long. If only I could jog(慢跑) part of it—that would cost me less time. I started jogging without my knees aching. Slowly, I increased the distance. The doctor were proved wrong—it only took nine and a half years to do so.
While practicing, I suffered a loss—a dear friend suddenly died. His work had been to help women to accept themselves and reach their fullest potential(潜力). He believed that people should let nothing hold them back from achieving their goals. Soon after his death, a crazy thought entered my mind: what if I could run the LA Marathon? I knew that if I didn’t train to my fullest, the doctor would win. So I trained seven days a week. And I succeeded in crossing the finish line of the LA Marathons all over the United States to the astonishment of my doctors. They never believed that I would achieve that.
The aches and pains I experience while training and racing are nothing compared to the suffering people whom I respect must accept.

Football, to me, is more than just a game. I have probably learned more than valuable lessons from it than from school.

When I joined the team freshman year, I didn’t realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work, nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year. We worked all summer in the weight room and ran on the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season.

See, football is more of a mental sport than anything else, so running on the track wasn’t only about getting in shape . We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we felt like we were going to pass out. At the beginning, I was immature (幼稚的) and only thought of myself, sometimes even giving up when I was tired or hurting. Then after the third game I had a season-ending injury. Imagine working all summer and then only being able to play three games! I needed surgery on my arm and at least five months to recover.

After freshman year I decided that I would always give my best effort. Playing varsity (大学代表队) football has taught me so much more than just what my tasks are on a particular play or how to block. I have learned to think about others first, and realized how important working hard is. Being with all my friends, even sweating and bleeding with them, really made us unite as a group of hard-working young men, who will succeed in life.

As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.

Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.

Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs (郊区), leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.

Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it has been worthy of. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.”

Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”

1.What do the first two paragraphs tell us?

A. People seldom work long hours to make money.

B. People hardly buy more things than necessary.

C. People are sure everything they own is in the right place.

D. People realize there is more to life than just making money.

2. When Daniel was a reporter he _____.

A. lived in central London B. disliked his job

C. missed his children D. was well paid

3. Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm _____.

A. was easy to organize B. has improved family life

C. was extremely expensive D. has been a total success

4. What does the underlined “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Child-caring. B. Liz’s advice. C. Downshifting. D. Liz’s job.
