John Lennon was once a teacher of Vocal Performance (声乐表演) at Emporia State University. He says, “Singing is an inborn (天生的) need. Babies sing to themselves and they seem so happy. Like babies, when we sing, we feel so good and singing makes us feel even better. I like singing and I am happy every day.”

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don't know what's coming.
Sure, it's hard to see uncertainty(不确定) in such positive（积极的）light when you're out of work, or when you feel like you're failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.
When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn't stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn't think she wanted to go to graduate school（研究院）. Allison knew she wasn't doing what she wanted, but she didn't know what she wanted.
She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent.
The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn't end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.

D.She didn't score high enough for graduate school.
（3）How did Allison feel about her six years' working experience?
A.Uncertain.

C.Sorry.
D.Satisfied.

In Britain, people say “thank you” quite often, even at times when there is no .

Sometimes we say it sarcastically (讽刺地). , if a friend throws my food away, thinking I was finished, I may say, “Oh, thank you!” Then my friend would reply, “Sorry.” This can make a situation confusing (困惑的) to foreign people.

However, anyone working in the service sector (行业)—waiters, taxi drivers, shop assistants, bus drivers and so on –will a “thank you” from British customers. If you’re happy with the driver who got you to school on time, or the waiter who served you food, say “thank you” to them. You’re really saying “good ”.

I was first that people don’t often say “thank you” here in China. But I know people can replace these words with a smile or nod.

Yet I can’t change my British of saying “thank you”. Even here in China, I know I use these two words too much. But saying “thank you” is free, and I believe the more the better.

An important decision

A Chinese airplane made an emergency landing (紧急迫降) after its window across the front of the plane was broken. Because of the decision of Liu Chuanjian, a pilot of the airplane, no passengers (乘客) were hurt.

We make decisions every day. Everything we say and do is the result of a decision. For every decision，big or small，it’s of great importance to make the right decision. There is some advice that can help you make right decisions.

Get as much information as possible

Find out as much as you can. 当你有足够的信息时，做出正确的决定对你来说是容易的。

Write down all your choices (选择)

Scientists find that having too many choices can make it hard to make a right decision. So write down all the choices and delete those most impossible ones.

When shouldn’t you make a decision?

You’d better not make a decision at night as you may be tired after a day’s study or work. It’s easy for you to make a wrong decision.

Talk to your friends or family members

Your friends or family members may have more experience than you. Maybe they can give you some good advice.

Who harms children?

When some Chinese students leave home to go to school, they find that they don’t know how to look after themselves and how to make decisions by themselves.

Decide for yourself

Some Chinese parents make almost all decisions for their children, from choosing schools to choosing jobs. Sometimes they even decide on many small things such as clothing and diet.

However, making decisions for children does not help them but harms them in many ways. It will make children lack independence (缺乏独立). What’s more, parents’ decisions can’t show their children personal ideas and interest. So parents should give their children rights to let them make their own decisions.

【1】Please translate the underlined (划线的) sentence into Chinese.

【2】Why is the emergency landing of a Chinese airplane mentioned (提及)?

【3】Please translate the underlined sentence into English.

【4】What advice does the writer give us about making the right decision? (One example is OK.)

【5】What dose the underlined word “It” refer to?

【6】What do you think of making decisions? Why do you think so?
