5．Around twenty years ago I was going through hard times．I could not find a satisfying job．To my shame，I had to drive a school bus to make ends meet and lived in a friend's house．
One afternoon，while driving through a quiet suburban （郊外的） neighborhood I was so sad that I kept asking myself"Why has my life become so hard？""What's wrong with the world？"Then I pulled over the bus to drop off （让…下车） a little girl and as she passed she handed me a pretty earring，saying she found it on the floor of the bus and I should keep it in case（以防）the owner came to look for it．
In the evening，the owner did come to look for her earring．When I handed it to her，she got very excited and continued saying"Thanks，you're a real gentleman．"I told her that she should thank the little girl who had found it．She said，"Yes，and you are a good driver，too．What a lovely world it is!"Then she left with satisfaction．I was touched by her last words．I had thought something was wrong with the world just because of my poor condition．In fact，nothing was wrong with the world．I should change my attitude towards life．I should be positive about life．
At first it was hard，and then it got easier．Every day I could find things to make me happy．Then one night there was a phone call for me at my friend's house from a lady who was a manager in a large hospital．She said she had read my application form and asked me if I would like to work in the hospital．I said yes and got the job．Looking back at the experience I know the most important is to have a positive attitude towards life．

Friday evening，
Today I'd like to tell you anything about riding a bike in London．If you visit London，you'll see many buses，cars or bikes．It's very cheap and quick to use bike．If you take a bus，I often have to wait for an hour or so．Besides，the buses move very slowly．The underground is quickly but expensive and often crowded．I used to travel to work by bus．I was often late，and tiring．Then a friend suggested we went to work by bike．I followed him．Although we went slowly，but we always arrived on time．Taking a bus takes 50minutes，while ride a bike only half an hour．Now I love riding to work and I feel more better．

Last summer I took a trip to France，an European country，with my parents．Honest speaking，I had never heard a word of French speaking before going there．One evening，we went to a restaurant but sat down at a table．When the waiter came，I opened my mouth，putting my finger into it and took it out again．I wanted to say，"Bring us to something to eat．"However，he brought us some tea．I shake my head．After a while，he came with three cups of coffees．I had to refuse his offer again．With no one turn to，I drew some food on a piece of paper．Soon there were a large plate of meat on the table．

2．Last year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good：the iPad．Instead of looking at nature，I checked my e-mail．Instead of paddling a small boat，I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）．Instead of reading great novels，I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning．I was behaving as if I were still in the office．My body was on vacation，but my head wasn't．
So this year I made up my mind to try something different：withdrawal from the Internet．I knew it wouldn't be easy，since I'm bad at self-control．But I was determined．I started by giving the iPad to my wife．
The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past，making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration．I was trapped，forced to go through with my plan．Largely breaking away from e-mail，Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites，I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio-and how much radio can one listen to，really？I had to do what I had planned to do all along：read books．
This experience has had a happy ending．With determination and the strong support of my wife，I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet，realizing finally that it was I，not the iPad，that was the problem．I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi．"I don't need it，"I said．
However，as we return to post-vacation life，a harder test begins：Can I continue when I'm back at work？
There are times when the need to know what's being said right now is great．I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely．But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes，which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two．
I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive．Here I hope this one worked．

1．Many people believe that they will be happy once they arrive at some specific goal they set for themselves．However，more often than not，once you arrive"there"you will still feel dissatisfied，and move your"there"vision to yet another point in the future．By always chasing （追寻） after another"there"，you are never really appreciating what you already have right"here"．It is important for human beings to keep sober-minded（头脑清醒的） about the age-old drive to look beyond the place where you now stand．On one hand，your life is developed by your dreams and aspirations （抱负）．On the other hand，these drives can pull you farther and farther from your enjoyment of your life right now．
To be grateful means you are thankful for what you have right now．Gratitude （感激） fills your heart with the joyful feeling and allows you to fully appreciate everything that arises on your path．As you try hard to keep your focus on the present moment，you can experience the full wonder of"here"．
There are many ways to develop gratitude．Here are just a few suggestions you may wish to try：
•Imagine what your life would be like if you lost all that you had．This will most surely remind you of how much you do appreciate it．
•Make a list each day of all that you are grateful for，so that you can stay conscious （有意识的） daily of your blessings．Do this especially when you are feeling as though you have nothing to feel grateful for．Or spend a few minutes before you go to sleep giving thanks for all that you have．
•Spend time offering assistance （帮助） to those who are less fortunate than you，so that you may gain a new perspective （观点）．
What really matters is that you create a space in your consciousness for appreciation for all that you have right now，so that you may live more happily in your present moment．
24．According to the first paragraph we knowB．
A．many people feel satisfied with what they have right now

20．Mr．Peter Johnson，aged twenty-three，battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water．Mr．Johnson took the only esape route---through the boot（行李箱）．
Mr．Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch（沟渠） at Romney Marsin，Kent after skidding（打滑） on ice and hitting a bank．"Fortunately，the water began to come in only slowly"，he said．"I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in．"
Mr．Johnson，a sweet salesman of Sitting Home，Kent，first tried to attract the attention of other drivers by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot．Then he began his struggle to escape．
Later he said，"It was really a half penny that saved my life．It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to open the back seat to get into the boot．I hammered desperately trying to make someone hear，but no help came．"
It took ten minutes to open the seat，and a further five minutes to clear the sweet samples from the boot．Then Mr．Johnson found a tool and began to work on the boot lock．Fifteen minutes passed by．"It was the only chance I had．Finally it gave，but as soon as I moved the boot lid，the water and mud poured in．I forced the lid down into the mud and climbed out of my car as it filled up．"
His hands and arm cut and bruised，Mr．Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby，where he was looked after by the farmer's wife，Mrs．Lucy Bates．Covered with a blanket，he said，"That thirty minutes seemed like hours．""Only the tips of the car wheels were visible，"police said last night．The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch．"

19．"When I grow up，I want to be…"
Almost all of us have thought about，or been asked to think about，our future careers．Our answers may differ greatly．Even now your aspirations（志向，抱负）may have changed from when you were in primary school．
However，it seems that career choices aren't only based on personal taste．In a survey carried out by Teens，doctors，lawyers，and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow．This is similar to a survey carried out in the UK in May 2016by job website-Co．uk，in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13and 17．
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions．Their prestige （威望） may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are muchrespected members of society，and they make good money．What's more，these professions are often seen as a sign of upward social class．
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices．Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in．Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators（标志） of a successful career．
However，not every child has the makings of doctor，lawyer，or banker．They are those who see achievement and happiness in other areas．As the Teens'survey discovered，a variety of unconventional（非传统的） jobs-coffee shop owner，waiter at a fast food restaurant-are among teenagers'career choices．They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs．
With every choice comes responsibility and challenge，and all career paths require specific education and training，you have to learn to balance optimism（乐观主义）and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills．
32．What is the passage mainly about？A
A．Careers in teenagers'mind．
B．Choosing a good job is very important．
