There is an old woman in our town calls Old Alice who said to be 108 years old. This can't be proved though she doesn't have a birth certificate. All her personal papers are destroyed during World War Ⅱ. I don't know if she really is so old, and it doesn't matter. She certainly looks very old. Of course, she is often asked question by people who want to be told the secret of long life. Old Alice always answered them like this, “If you are offered cigarette, never accept it; if you are annoyed by someone, never lose his temper; and if you are asked foolish questions, never answer to them.”

There is an old Spanish Proverb which states, "Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week". How many times have we ________ dreams until tomorrow? I’d say too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot ________. We have to go for them now! Here is why.
As you know, tomorrow is not promised. Nobody likes to talk about death, but the ________ is: everybody is going to die at one point. ________ of us know the day, or the hour. ________, today is all we have. Don’t go to your grave with ________ dreams. Make the ________ to go after every dream, big or small right now.
Unless you take the first step, your dreams will never ________. You can ________ about writing the great American play, but it’s never going to happen unless you actually put pen to ________. You can dream about finding a cure ________ cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become ________ with the necessary tools to find that cure. In other words, dreams don’t work unless you do. They ________ you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the work to make them happen.
You can’t let fear win. One of the biggest dream ________ is fear. There are so many people who could ________ amazing things if only they weren’t afraid. Just think about all the things you’ve wanted to do, but allowed fear to ________ you of the fact that you weren’t capable, or good enough. In the movie After Earth, Will Smith’s character says, "Fear is not ________. It is a product of thoughts you create. Do not misunderstand me. Danger is what exists. But fear is a choice." Choose not to let fear ________ you from achieving your dreams.
Imagine how much ________ you’ll be if you’re living the life you always dreamed about. The only thing that is stopping you is you. There are so many amazing ________ and people waiting for you. So don’t keep your dreams waiting. Go after them today!

How to Say No to Your Boss
Saying “no” to a request can be a difficult thing, especially when the person making the request is your boss. 1. The following steps are helpful.
1. Give yourself some time to think about the request before saying “no”.
If the request arrives via email, don’t reply right away. 2. If your boss asks you in person or on the telephone, request some time to give it thought and tell her you will get back to her by a specific time. Consider the request carefully to determine whether you have to say “no”.
2. Prepare your answer before telling your boss “no”.
Anticipate questions she might ask in response to your answer, and decide how you want to answer them. Rehearse your conversation with your boss out loud to help build your confidence before the real conversation.
3. Choose the right time and place to speak with your boss.
Have the conversation in private if your work situation allows you to get a moment alone with your boss. Keep in mind your boss’s workday pressures and work style. If she is a morning person and gets grumpy（脾气暴躁的）in the afternoon, be sure to speak with her before lunch.
4. 3.
If your boss is asking you to take on more responsibility, that shows that she has faith in your ability to do the job. Acknowledge that it means a lot to you before telling her that you feel you cannot do it.
5. Tell your boss why you have to say “no” to the request.
4. Your boss will be grateful that you answered honestly, rather than trying to take on a project you cannot handle.
6. Offer an alternative solution.
For example, if your boss asks you to serve on a committee, suggest someone else in the company that you think may be interested and capable of serving. 5.
A. Pay your boss a compliment while denying her request.
B. Even if you try your best to do everything the boss lets you do, there are times when you can’t do and have to say “no”.
C. Put yourself in your boss’s shoes and consider how the company will be affected if you refuse the request.
D. Maybe you could offer to share the workload with someone else.
E. Most employers respect honesty in their employees.
F. Try a compromise.
G. Set the request aside and think about it for a while.
Hiking can be a pleasant as well as a not so pleasant adventure. You will have to take a number of measures so that your hike is a pleasant experience.
Hiking Tip 1 — Start Early
Most hiking experts hold the opinion that it is rather sensible to start hiking at 3 or 4 in the morning, even if it is a full-day hike. Since most hikes are conducted at high altitudes, starting off early will make sure that you are back down during the afternoon hours.
Hiking Tip 2 — Be Light
Since we are anyway talking about the load you will carry, another important hiking tip is to carry fewer loads. If you are going on a hiking trail on a familiar path, you will need reduced survival items, as chance that you will get lost or hurt yourself on these hiking trails is little.
Hiking Tip 3 — Reduce the Number of Breaks
Once you start your hike, you should make sure you do not take too many breaks. You will need to maintain a consistent speed and minimize the number of stops which you take. Speed and rest stops help distinguish an inexperienced hiker from an expert hiker. An inexperienced hiker will have bursts of speed and energy and it will be followed by rest stops. This results in slowing down the general speed.
Hiking Tip 4 — Tip for Children
Do you plan to take your kids along with you on the hiking trail? Well, then you must be looking for hiking tips for kids! You will have to educate them about nature and also get them into an exercise routine before taking them on a hike. Kids have a tendency to run in the beginning. This exhausts them and they have to be carried, which is certainly not the best of ideas.
1.You are advised to start hiking early in order to ________.
A. finish your hiking in a day
B. enjoy your hiking completely
C. avoid getting tired
D. get back down early
2.What should you do if you are going hiking on an unfamiliar trail?
A. Carry enough survival items.
B. Keep a high speed.
C. Start hiking in the afternoon.
D. Carry fewer loads.
3.According to the text, inexperienced hikers ________.
A. don’t keep a consistent speed
B. will easily get lost
C. choose well-established paths
D. don’t stop to rest
4.If you want to take a kid for hiking, you should ________.
A. make sure of his safety
B. prepare him for it
C. educate him about hiking
D. give him some tips
