Life is beautiful once you learn to change your view a little. 1. . Complaining about what is wrong with an almost perfect picture stops you from seeing the beauty of the picture. 2. . Having the wisdom of knowing what you can change, what you can control and what you can’t is happiness.
Being a good person is important. Being a good person at heart is more important. No one is loved by all or hated by all. 3. . Even God gets a bad name. We humans are social animals. It’s not easy or possible to get along with everyone. The point is who draws the line of your life, you or someone else. Before doing that ask yourself whether the thing you believe in is right or wrong. 4. .
Go on living, smile, cry when you have to, and take joy in small things of life. Welcome and learn to see positive things happening around you. 5. . Love yourselves. Maybe you feel disappointed sometimes, but don’t let that take a long time with you and your life. Learn to take pride in who you are because you are beautiful, no one can be like you and no one can live your life better than you do.
A. If it’s really worth the pain.
B. Life is full of happiness and sorrow.
C. Everyone has their good’s and bad’ s.
D. Everyone should avoid the negative aspect of life.
E. Appreciating it is better than focusing on its negatives.
F. No one, including even the wealthiest and the most beautiful people, has a perfect life.
G. Distinguish between want and need, and adjust to what life throws at you.
Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected. When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant (抑制药), damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination(协调)，slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limit, driving will be affected.
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:
50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or
22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or
67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液).
Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.
Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(样本)for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.
1.The first paragraph is mainly about______.
A. the introduction of driving skills
B. the damage of drinking to your body
C. the effect of drinking on driving
D. the process of alcohol being absorbed
2.The underlined Word“ it” in the second paragraph refers to “______ ”.
A. alcohol B. absorption C. blood D. process
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.
B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.
C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.
D. 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit.
4.A driver suspected of drink driving ________.
A. should provide specimens for testing
B. will be forbidden to drive for 3 years
C. will be punished for 10 driving-offence points
D. should pay a maximum fine of HK $ 25,000
Getting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, king of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist (免疫学家)， encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.
1.The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because________.
A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment
B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths
D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
2.Which of the following best describes Henry IV’ s attitude to bathing?
A. Afraid B. Curious C. Approving D. Uninterested
3.How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By providing examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By following the order of time.
D. By following the order of importance.
4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To stress the role of dirt.
B. To introduce the history of dirt.
C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.
D. To present the change of views on dirt.
