Reflecting(回忆) on the past about those decisions or actions that can’t be reversed(推翻) and being occupied with thoughts of “What if?” is no way to live. But there are a few things in life I’d probably do differently if I had the chance.

I once majored in architecture — something I had been crazy about for as long as I could remember — and then I suddenly had a change of heart. I made an appointment with my adviser, and told him I was no longer certain I wanted to pursue a career in architecture.

“Don’t give up on your childhood dream!” “He’s right,” I thought. “I should just stick it out and I shouldn’t disappoint the little girl who once loved architecture.”

It was awful. I was agonized, holding on to a childhood dream that had long since faded. When I talked with a friend about it a year later, he asked: “Right now, what do you want to do with your life?” That’s when I came to the realization that dreams change over time and that you should give up the childhood dream if it’s not what you want as an adult. Luckily, it wasn’t too late. After some serious thought, I changed my major to journalism. It wasn’t something I had always imagined myself pursuing — but at that moment, it was what I wanted.

We grow up, and sometimes our dreams change — and that’s perfectly OK. You just need to ask yourself every once in a while, “Is this still what I want?” If the answer is no, move on and start chasing a new one.

B. It’s unwise to regret all the time.

C. Life would be dull without “What if?”

D. We make better decisions by looking back.

C. She thought it a betrayal(背叛) of her younger self

D. She didn’t want her childhood dream to fade.

4. What lesson did the author learn from the experience?

A. Don’t follow others’ career advice

B. It’s OK to switch to our real love.

C. Improve us before realizing our dream

D. Childhood dreams are hard to insist on

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond.The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.

In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起)the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998.Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.

In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program.As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.

The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.

Ultinatelas Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.

1.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

A.To invite authors to guide readers.

B.To encourage people to read and share.

C.To involve people in community service.

D.To promote the friendship between cities.

2.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?

A.They had little interest in reading.

B.They were too busy to read a book.

C.They came from many different backgrounds

D.They lacked support from the local government

3.According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?

A.In large communities with little sense of unity.

B.In large cities where libraries are far from home.

C.In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.

D.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.

4.According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by ________.

A.the careful selection of a proper book

B.the growing popularity of the writers

C.the number of people who benefit from reading.

D.the number of books that each person reads.

Tips to Increase Your Productivity

Want to get more done in your day? Of course you do. 1. The good news is that everyone can increase the amount of tasks they accomplish in a day. Here are some tips to help you have a more productive day.

Make a plan for your day. Make sure you know how you want your day to go in advance, even before you start. 2. To work best, create the next day’s plan the night before so that every morning you spend time performing, not planning.

Break large tasks down into bits accomplished easily. Do you have a large project that’s just so big that you keep putting it off? Or maybe you’re just unsure of where to begin, so you put it off. 3. Therefore, you will feel a sense of accomplishment as you check the items of your list.

Always set your priorities (优先事项). 4. Figure out what must be done, do that first and rank the rest of your work according to importance. If you don’t get to the items at the end of your list, it won’t be a big problem, and you can do them another time.

5. If you are the most productive in the morning, that’s when you should hit it hard and do as much as you can. If you work better in the afternoon, take care of some things like emails in the morning and then accomplish the important projects in the afternoon. Keep on top of your work habits, and you’ll be more productive.

A. A good way is to break the project down into more manageable ones.

B. It’s important to accomplish the most important tasks first.

C. This can provide you a roadmap for the day.

D. To stay competitive in any industry, you need to improve your productivity.

E. Be aware of when you are the most productive.

F. Reward yourself if you are productive.

G. It’s tough to meet depressed people who are productive.
