1、Translation 10If you are feeling that life just cannot be any worse for you, it can be challenging to think
positive thoughts. When we are stressed, depressed, upset, or otherwise in a negative state of mind
because we perceive that "bad things" keep happening to us, it is important to shift those negative
thoughts to something positive. If you start with one small, positive thing and repeat it during the
course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive situation: positive thoughts,
feelings, opportunities and people will start showing up in your life. With practice, you will find
that over time, you will change your outlook and choose to be happy, regardless of the events
around you.

1、Passage 4Do you know who Benjamin Banneker was and what he did? Benjamin Banneker was a
self-educated scientist at a time when most African Americans were slaves. Born a free black man
in the British Colony of Maryland in 1731, he received some formal education, but he mostly
borrowed books and taught himself science and mathematics. At 22, he borrowed a pocket watch,
and without any training, figured out how to carve a working wooden clock that chimed each hour. Because of this clock, he became well known and people would visit him just to see his creation.
Banneker ran his family farm from many years, but when he was in his late 50s, a neighbor‘s
son lent him a telescope. He became interested in astronomy, the study of the planets and stars,
and again taught himself a new science. He made calculations of tides, sunrises and sunsets, and
even predicted an eclipse. For several years he published an almanac of these calculations. Today,
he is best known for publishing six almanacs, called ―Benjamin Banneker‘s Almanac‖ between
1792 and 1797.
In the 1790s, Banneker also helped survey and lay out the land for Washington, D. C., which
became the nation‘s capital. For a look at Banneker‘s amazing life, visit the Benjamin Banneker

1、Passage 10Your boss holds your future prospects in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with.
Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course,
not all bosses are like that.
The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up
the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you
do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your
professional development.
Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He
needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But
how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?
The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事).
Observe and understand your boss‘s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask!
Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not
view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help
you.
In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and
learning to work with his personality and management style. 5. The best title for the passage might be ________.

A. 　 How to Take Care Of Your Boss.

B. 　 How to Get Along with Your Boss

C. 　 How to Accept Your Boss‘s Criticism

1、Passage 12More and more people like bicycling and it is no surprise. It is fun, healthy and good for the
environment. Maybe that‘s why there are 1.4 billion bicycles and only 400 million cars on roads
worldwide today. Bikes can take you almost anywhere, and there is no oil cost!
Get on a bicycle and ride around your neighborhood. You may discover something new all
around you. Stopping and getting off a bike is easier than stopping and getting out of your car. You
can bike to work and benefit from the enjoyable exercise without polluting the environment. You
don‘t even have to ride all the way.
Folding bikes work well for people who ride the train. Just fold the bike and take it with you.
You can do the same on an airplane. A folding bike can be packed in a suitcase. You can also take
a common bike with you when you fly. But be sure to look for information by getting on airline
websites. Not all airlines are bicycle-friendly to travelers.

It helps to prevent heart diseases.
It helps to control your weight.

year.
