My Life in 20 Years
I met Rose, my new classmate, on the first day of college. To my surprise, she was already 87 years old. "Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked. " I’m here to meet a rich man, become his wife, have two children, and retire(退休)，then travel”. She answered. 1.Like young students, Rose was outgoing, kind and helpful, 2. Soon, she became a superstar in our college.
At the end of the term, Rose was invited to give us a speech. I will never forget what she said to us," There are only four secrets(秘密) to staying young and achieving success. "
“First, you have to laugh and find humor(幽默)every day. Then,you need to have a dream. 3. Next, find any chance（机会）to change yourself. Finally, people shouldn’t have regrets(遗憾) for things they didn’t do. ”
4. Over 2000 students went to her funeral(葬礼) to show their love to the wonderful woman.
The great woman didn’t live in this world any longer, but she gave us an unforgettable lesson in life. That is -- 5. Don’t you think so?
A. Never too old to learn.
B. She never talked with us.
C. When you lose your dream, you die.
D. She always had friends around her.
E. I wondered why she liked studying so much.
F. Both of us laughed; because we knew what she said wasn’t true.
G. One week after she finished her college, she died in her sleep quietly.
In Britain, people often invite friends for a meal, a party or just coffee. People who know each other very well—close friends, family or neighbors—visit each other's houses without an invitation(邀请), but usually an invitation is needed. When people invite someone to their homes, they often say, “Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday?” Answers are:“ Thanks. We'd love to. What time?” or “I'm sorry. We'd love to but we have tickets for the concert.” However, it is not polite to say “No, we wouldn't!”
Sometimes, the British use expressions(表达) that sound like invitations but which are not invitations. For example, “You must come over for a drink sometime.” or “Let's go out for a meal one of these days.” These are usually just polite ways of ending a talk. They are not real invitations because they don't mention（提及）a certain time or day. They just show that the person is trying to be friendly and the answers are, “Yes, that would be nice.” or “OK, yes, thanks.”
So next time you hear what sounds like an invitation, listen carefully. Is it a real invitation or is the person just being friendly?
1.It is not polite to answer the real invitation by saying “_________”
A. Sorry, we'd love to but we have tickets for the concert.
B. Thanks. We'd love to. What time?
C. Sure. We'd like to, thanks a lot.
D. No, we wouldn’t!
2.If the British just want to end a talk politely, they may say, “_________”
A. Would you like to come for dinner on Saturday?
B. Let's go out for a meal one of these days.
C. Let's go out for a meal on Saturday.
D. Shall we go for a drink this afternoon?
3.The British often use “________” to answer the invitations that are not real.
A. Yes, what time?
B. No, that's not a real invitation.
C. OK, yes, thanks.
D. No, you just want to be friendly.
4.Which is the best title (标题) for the passage?
A. Britain
B. Invitation
C. A talk with friends
D. A letter to friends
Everyone knows that the Frenchmen are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?
At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy. As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood.” Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green – eyed monster” and the UK is its home.
Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those given a little were given the chance to destroy the large amount of money given to others – but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.
This seems to prove that the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development recently reported that the UK is now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.
“It is not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems proud or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”
Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them. It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were more friendly, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.
