      The book, Bring Your Work To Life, by William John Mills, points out that the secret to meaning in life, 
and in work, depends on how you relate to yourself, how you relate to others and your relationship with higher 
values or purpose in life.       
      Relationships are an important part of work. Despite (不管) what the work is, how you relate to people 
influences not only how well you work, but also how you feel about yourself.  And how you feel about and 
treat yourself in tum influences both how you work and how you get along with others.       
     Mills suggests that people take a look at how they use time, which is what life is all about. Taking a look 
at how you use time, and how you would like to use it, can give you a better picture of yourself, and help you 
make better choices in life.          
     Mills also points out how varying amounts (变化量)  of time and energy influence how people feel.  Having 
little energy and too much time on your hands can turn you into a couch (沙发) potato.  But when you have 
both time and energy, you will enjoyyour work the best, whatever job you do.    
     Mills focuses on the need to love what you do, suggesting the following focuses: 
1. Be purposeful.  Remind yourself of your purpose and put it into practice.
2. Be responsible. Only attend to those things that are within your control.
3. Be there. Stay focused on what you're doing at the time you're doing it.
4. Be accepting.  Accept yourself and accept others.          
      Mills also shares a quotation,  " Your work is to discover your work,and then withall your heart to give 
yourself to it. "      
     That can make the difference between just living and feeling fully alive. You have to work at living, not
 just at working. Mills' book just has excellent guides for such a joumey.
1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?    
A. Your attitude to work is your attitude to yourself as well.      
B. How you relate to yourself decides the meaning in your life.     
C. Having too much energy and time turns you into a couch potato.
D. Focusing on what you're doing can help you make better friends.
2. The underlined word "That" in the last paragraph probably refers to ____.    
A. not only living, but also feeling fully alive     
B. being purposeful, responsible and accepting      
C. being an excellent guide for your life joumey      
D. discovering one's work and giving oneself to it
3. The best title for the passage is ____ .      
A. Love What You Do and What You Have      
B. Live a Life with Higher Values or Purpose      
C. Find Meaning in Your Work and Your Life      
D. Build Relationships Between Your Work and Life

To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedules, grades, and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very different.

    Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers, only “staff members (职员)”. The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn, because children want to learn anyway. “You do not need to say to a three-year-old. ‘Go explore your environment.’ You can’t stop them!” says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. “But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all taste for learning.”

At Sudbury Valley School, you will allow children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb trees, or just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!

    The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week, there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each — even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget(预算), and even which staff they want and do not want any more.

When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all time have successful careers today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.

1.What does the school believe?

A. Teachers cannot teach children well.

B. Children learn best when they do what they want to do.

C. Learning is for adults — children should only play.

D. Children should only learn about one thing at a time.

2.What does Daniel Greenberg say about three-year-olds?

A. They love learning.                 

B. They are very naughty.

C. They want to be outside all the time.       

D. They are too young to learn anything.

3.What happens to the children after they leave this school?

A. They do the same things as children from other schools.

B. They have problems getting into college or getting a job.

C. They usually do very unusual jobs.

D. They are not successful in their business.

4.What is the main topic of the article?

A. Children’s hobbies                  B. Education in the US

C. A school without rules                   D. An unusual school

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (代沟).
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorbike. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorbike, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship(关系) strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a house, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to make the mice inside the hole come out. A while later they saw mice running out, one after another,but they saw two mice didn’t run away immediately. It seemed that one was trying to bite(咬) the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled, so they came nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the two mice was blind, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite his tail in order to pull the blind one with him to run away.
During the meal time, they started to talk about the two mice. One serious American said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.”
A smart Frenchman said, “I think the relationship between them was that of husband and wife.”
A Japanese said, “I think the relationship between them was that of mother and son.”
At that moment, one Chinese asked, “Why did those two mice have a certain relationship?”
Suddenly, they looked back at the Chinese. The American, the Frenchman and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered (低下) their heads in shame, and didn’t answer.
