【题目】 The older I get, the more I learn that our quality of life doesn’t depend on what we’ve been given. Instead, our quality of life depends on what we choose to create. Every day, we are creating our life. We are choosing how to spend our time, what words to say out loud, and how to care for ourselves. And with all these choices, we are creating our life.

Creating a good life requires you to choose how you spend your time well. You should be doing things that give you pleasure or satisfaction. But first, you have to find out what it is that you enjoy doing. For example, I enjoy reading, writing, and ballroom dancing. On days when I’m able to do at least one of those activities, I feel quite good. However, if my free time is taken up by serving other people’s interests, I feel frustrated. That is why you have to guard your free time. We all have parts of our day that are spent doing things that we have to do, such as our job or schoolwork. So, our limited free time is valuable indeed. But our free time is where we have the opportunity to create our life.

As a result, the questions you should be asking yourself every day are these: What kind of day am I creating today? Will I spend my time arguing with others and feeling frustrated? Or, will I do something with my time that I truly enjoy, such as reading a book or going dancing with my friends?

We have so many beautiful choices when it comes to spending our free time. The bottom line is this: We choose what kind of life we will live; how we choose to spend our free time is in our hands. Whether we spend our time with kind or unkind people is in our hands. And the choices that we make decide the kind of life that we live. This week, consider whether you’re making the right choices so that you can create a better life for yourself. Make sure you plan your free time carefully.

A good life doesn’t just happen – it’s something that we must create.

【题目】阅读理解七选五。根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

How often do we read this story? A sports team is having a bad time, losing games one after the other. You know what nearly always happens, the manager is dismissed( 被解雇). He may be popular. He may have been successful in recent years, but a few games have been lost, so he has to go.1

They win the next game and everything becomes time again. How can one person make such a difference?

The simple answer to the question of what makes a good leader, as any football manager knows is success.

2 Until recently, the comparison between business and games wasn’t often made. But success in business and success in sports are very similar. 3 In both business and sports, you have to first know what your aims are and how you want to get there. And you need to understand your own abilities and then make the most of them.

4 . There are also important similarities in the way good managers in business and sports work with others to succeed. You need to unify ( 使成一体) the team and win their hearts. This is not the same as being popular. Most players in a team will be unhappy when a new manager turns everything upside down and changes the “normal” way of doing things. But if the manager can show that he believes in the team, they will put their unhappiness aside.5 And if the success doesn’t come, what will happen? Well, dismiss the manager, of course.

A. But these two things are not enough.

B. Yet, as if by magic, things suddenly start to change.

C. After all, both of them are about competition.

D. Managing a successful business is very different.

E. It’s very difficult to be a good football manager.

F. When success comes, all their worries disappear.

G. How to achieve it is a rather more difficult matter
