Now 20, third-year Cambridge University student, Peter Blackburn is managing director of a company with a £ 30,000 plan. And he thinks it will make more than $15,000 by next summer. He set up Peter Black born Ltd last year to bring out a new, color term-planner that now students all over the UK are using. “I felt that most of the planners going around were pretty unimaginative,” he says, “I believed that I could do a better job and decided to have a go”. Blackburn admits that he is putting far more effort into business than his computer studies course at university. While fellow students are out with their friends, he keeps in touch with his business office in Lancashire by movable phone. Before he set up the company he spent one holiday preparing a plan that would persuade his bank to lend him money. “Most students work hard for a good degree because they believe that will help them get a job to support themselves,” he says “I work hard at my company, because that is what will support me next year, after I leave college.” Friends believe that Blackburn will make £ 1 million within 5 years. He is not quite so sure, however. “There’s a lot to be done yet,” he says. 1.Choose the right order of the facts given in the passage. a. He spent his holiday preparing a plan. b.

The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other. “Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes. “And why do you want to do that?” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department’s programmes. There’s great demand for them,” he answered. The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC became less confident (自信). Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it. The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (数字) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,” he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.” Robert noticed the word “may.” He got up to leave.

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150个词左右的英语短文。 Happiness cannot last forever and it may be due to everything from the weather to the size of your bank account. We’re not suggesting that you can reach a permanent state called “happiness” and remain there. But there are many ways to get out of the path of anxiety, anger and sadness into a state of happiness once or even several throughout the day. Practice mindfulness. Be in the moment. Instead of worrying about your family, focus on the here and now----the food, the company, and the conversation. Laugh out loud. Researchers at the University of California Irvine, tested 16 men who all agreed they thought a certain videotape was funny. Half were told three days in advance they would watch it. They started experiencing biological changes right away. When they actually watched the video, their levels of stress hormones (激素) dropped significantly. Make a list. There’s nothing like writing down your tasks to help you organize your thoughts and calm your anxiety. Checking off each item provides a great sense of fulfillment. 【写作内容】 1) 以约30词概括上面内容的要点； 然后以约120词就“快乐的方式”这个话题发表你的看法，包括以下要点： ①列举不同的人对快乐的看法； ②你不快乐的时候怎么办？ 【写作要求】 可以使用实例或其他论述方法支持你的观点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接应用原文中的句子； 【标题自定】
