10. gradually get used to retirement after having worked for decades.(try)

工作了儿十年后，我已经慢慢学会适应退休生活。

It was an early September day,cool and bright and just right for running,and I was in the first few miles of a 10-mile race over a course with a few high hills. Still,I felt energetic;de?spite the hills it was going to be a fine run.

Just ahead of me was Peggy Mimno,a teacher from Mount Kiseo,New York. She too was running easily,moving along at my speed. The pace felt comfortable,so I decided to stay where I was; why pay attention to pace when she was setting such a nice one? I'd overtake (追上) her later on when she tired.

So I ran behind her. The course headed north for miles,wandered west for a hilly mile,then turned south again along a winding road. The race was getting harder. We had four miles left and already it was beginning to be real work.

Peggy overtook a young runner. She seemed to know him,for they exchanged a few cheer?ful words as she passed him. Their exchange worried me. You don't chat during a race unless you feeling good,and Peggy plainly was.

Still,I was close enough to overtake her if she tired,so I didn't give up hope completely. We were getting nearer to a long,punishing hill now and it would be the test. We were a mile from the finish line,so whatever happened on the hill would almost determine who crossed it first.

As I moved up the hill,my attention wandered for a few minutes. When I looked up,Peg?gy was moving away―first five yards,then ten,then more. Finally it was clear that there was no help of catching her. She beat me soundly.

There is an important lesson in that race. Women are thought to be weaker,slower and not nearly as skilled in sport. Yet as Peggy Mimno so clearly showed,the similarities between men and women runners are more important than differences. I have run with a number of women,and I can say it is often hard work.

Oceanography has been defined as "The application of all sciences to the study of the sea".

Before the nineteenth century,scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far be?tween. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings,but he was re?luctant to go to sea to further his work.

For most people the sea was remote,and with the exception of early intercontinental travel?ers or others who earned a living from the sea,there was little reason to ask many questions about it,let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question "What is at the bottom of the oceans?" had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe toAmericawas proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.

It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned,in 1853,for information on this matter. In the 1840s,Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later,some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Phys?ical Geography of the Sea.

The cable was laid,but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts,the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs,it was found to be covered in living growths,a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.

Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedi?tion (考察) ，which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a fivevolume report,the last volume being published in 1895.

( ) 5. According to the passage,who asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies?

A. The American Navy.

B. Some early intercontinental travelers.

C. Those who earned a living from the sea.

D. The company which proposed to lay an undersea cable.

( ) 6. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was .

A. to make some sounding experiments in the oceans

B. to collect samples of sea plants and animals

C. to estimate the length of cable that was needed

D. to measure the depths of the two oceans

( ) 7. Which of these is closest in meaning to the underlined word "defied" in the 5th para?graph?

A. Doubted. B. Gave proof to. C. Challenged. D. Agreed to.

( ) 8. The main meaning of this passage is

A. the beginnings of oceanographic studies

B. how to lay the first undersea cable in the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans

C. the way to investigate the depths of the oceans

D. before the nineteenth century very few scientists had an interest in the sea

Huge global interest in " the best job in the world"―earning good money for lazing on a paradise island for 6 months―has crashed the Australian website where it is advertised.

The job pays 150,000 Australian dollars (about 100,000 US dollars) and includes free airfares from the successful candidate's home country to tropical Hamilton Island on the famed Great Barrier Reef.

In return,the winner will be expected to have as much fun as he or she can―soaking up the sun,swimming,snorkeling,sailing―and report to a global audience via weekly blogs photo diaries and video updates.

The successful candidate―who will stay rentfree in a multi-million-dollar threebedroom beach home―must be over 18 ,a " fantastic and charismatic" communicator,and able to speak and write English.

More than 350 applications had been submitted before the website crashed―from Britain,the United States,Croatia,Turkey,Italy,Germany,Canada,Netherlands and Portugal among other countries.

Candidates are required to create a video application in English of up to one minute explaining why they are uniquely qualified for the job.

Are you truly happy? Do you ever know what it means to be happy and what it takes to achieve happiness?

27 The following are a few tips that I follow to create happiness in my life.

※Make a plan for attaining goals that you believe will make you happy. Your moods will very likely increase if you are going after something you value.

※Surround yourself with happy people. It is easy to begin to think negatively when you are surrounded by people who think that way. 28

※When something goes wrong,try to figure out a solution instead of being absorbed in selfpity. Truly hap?py people don't allow setbacks to affect their moods be?cause they know that with a little thought they can turn the circumstances back to their favour.

※29 These few minutes will give you the op?portunity to focus on the positive things in your life and will lead you to continuous happiness.

※30 Whether you treat yourself to lunch,take a long,relaxing bath or simply spend a few extra minutes on your appearance,you will be subconsciously (下意识地) putting yourself in a better mood.

※ Finding the humour in situations can also lead to happiness. Find a way to make light of a situation that would otherwise make you happy.
