Last Sunday, I went sightseeing with my friends in the Fairy Lake Park. The park was full of freshness and beautiful of spring, with the sun shining and birds sing. When I was enjoying the fantastic scenery around, something unpleasant caught their eyes. A young couple in a boat was eating, talking and laughing loudly as if they were the only people in the world. Which is worse, they spat and even threw rubbish into the lake, total ignoring the noticeable sign “No Littering” nearby. What shame!
Such behavior leaves me deep in thought. If all visitors to the Fairy Lake Park do as the couple did so, the lake will be severely polluted or soon turned into a huge dustbin.
W: Hi, Mr. Lee, I am 1. reporter from the New York Times. It will be great 2. you can tell me some information about chopsticks, 3. their origin and the materials they are made from.
M: Good question. Chopsticks originated in China, but they are 4. (wide) used in many Asian countries. Chopsticks may be made of any of the 5. (follow) materials: bamboo, wood, gold, silver, ivory, or plastic, and they may be 6. round or square. Some chopsticks are decorated 7. colored pictures. Ordinary chopsticks used in Chinese homes are made of wood or bamboo. In ancient times, the rich used jade or gold chopsticks to display their wealth. Many kings and emperors used silver chopsticks to see if their food had been poisoned.
W: OK, thank you. And I’d like to know why Chinese people use chopsticks. 8. not knives and forks, like Americans?
M: Oh, that is a good question. I think Chinese people choose chopsticks, rather than knives and forks, because Chinese people, under the influence of Confucianism, have traditionally 9. (consider) knives and forks as symbolizing a type of violence. On the other hand, chopsticks reflect 10. (gentle) and kindness. And maybe Chinese food simply seems to taste better when eaten with chopsticks.
I lived in an orphanage(孤儿院）when I was 8. A gentleman came and taught us how to do woodworking projects.
I remember my first project ---a small table. I was so of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(n) . It had taken me six weeks to it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a . She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always with us.
As the tables were not dry, the man told us to wait a few days. But I was just so and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a carrying my table.
When I was it in the dormitory, Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand it, she noticed that it was still wet.
“Were you to bring this home?” she asked.
“No, ma’ma,”I with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I opened the door to get it back. There was stuck all over. I brushed and cried.
I hid the table in my closet and never it. After cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent(宿管员), thinking that she would it away.
Thirty years later at a reunion, I that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her to get something. I followed her into a dark corner. She picked something up. she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.
Mother Henderson still kept the little table!
Today, I look at that table with bitter-sweet memories but full of to Mother Henderson, who kept it for an orphan who tried very hard to himself.

Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what's happening around them．_____1.____ Outside life is shut out. So are you one of them"?
For me; walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect．____2.___ What's even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says; "I'm not available for chatting at the moment!"
Suppose, you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough, but a colleague suddenly turns up．At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration．____3.____ Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that "Go away!" signal．
_4.___ It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family．While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their ' Yes．Mum．'' Problem solved．
Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears-but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instruments．We'll be in a virtual （虚拟的） world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like．In this world, we will all be permanently plugged in.__ 5.____ And they are changing our social habits along the way．
In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It's so strange-suddenly, I don't feel like wearing my earphones anymore.
A．Our instruments are changing quickly．
B．I also have wires hanging from my ears．
C．In the home situation, teenagers love these wires．
D．I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment．
E．After all, I am listening to my favorite music and would rather not be disturbed．
F．Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions．
G．They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal "digital noise reduction systems"．
The word proactivity is fairly common in management literature, but you won't find it in the dictionary. It means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own life．
Look at the word responsibility: ability to choose your response, response-ability. Effective people are proactive because they take responsibility. Their behavior is a product of their own decisions, based on values, rather than being a product of their own conditions, based on feelings．For instance, you are planning a picnic with your family．You're excited．You have all the preparations．You've decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your plan．Proactive people carry weather within them. They realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if it's in their own basement with some special games, and make the best of that situation．The opposite of being proactive is to be reactive．Reactive people would say, "What's the use?" "We can't do anything．" "Oh this is so upsetting after all of our preparations and arrangements." They try to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled．
Being proactive is really just being true to your human nature. Your basic nature is to act, and not to be acted upon．That's true, despite widely accepted theories of determinism used to explain human nature. Determinism says that you don't really choose anything and that what you call choices are nothing more than automatic responses to outside conditions．
The language of reactive people is like: " I can't．" " Don't have time．" " I have to．" " I must．" The whole spirit of that language is the transfer of responsibility．They think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or by their conditioning or their genetic makeup．Psychologically, people who believe they are determined will produce the evidence to support the belief, and they increasingly feel victimized and out of control．They're not in charge of their life at all．
On the contrary, a proactive person exercises free will, the freedom to choose the response that best applies to his values．In that way, he gains control over the circumstances, rather than being controlled by them．
1.According to the passage, a proactive person's behavior can result from ______．
A．the environment B．an inner belief
C．the genetic makeup D．a temporary feeling
2.When a picnic plan is threatened by a sudden storm, reactive people will probably ____．

A．Manage to improve the weather．
B．Give in to the weather passively．
C．Stress the influence of the weather．
D. Find a solution to the weather problems．
4.It can be concluded from the passage that determinists (宿命论者) ______．
A. accept things passively
B. are in charge of themselves
C．are similar to proactive people
D. respond to outside conditions actively
In summer, some people avoid outdoor activities because they don't want to get hot and sticky or sun burnt．Luckily, there are some outdoor activities which don't involve breaking sweat．
River rafting
Hot summer weather and cool water-what a perfect match! River rafting can be both scenic and exciting．When the raft follows a gentle stream, the views of the countryside or valley is like a traditional Chinese painting．And when you enter white water where the riverbed creates a natural roller coaster, you feel a rush of adrenaline （肾上腺素）．Paddle your raft to the riverbank to have a picnic or barbecue which will taste best when you are starving．
Where to find: River rafting trips are usually on offer in mountainous or valley regions such as the Three Gorges．
Tips: Wear a helmet and life jacket at all times; bring enough sunscreen; and bring lots of water．
Caving
People say that the only naturally air-conditioned place in summer is a big cave．It is true．Cave tours featuring light shows are old hat．Now it's time to wear a lamp on your helmet like a mineworker to explore caves in darkness．Exploring unknown caverns and navigating underground rivers is what makes caving so thrilling．Plus, caving can be a very healthy sport, for the oxygen level is usually higher so basically you are having an oxygen spa as the bonus．
Where to find: caving can be very risky, so consult local travel agents and go in groups with professional cavers．
Tips: Follow your guides; drink enough water to avoid dehydration（脱水） ; and wear strong and not easily damaged hiking boots．
Coastal walking/cycling and beach activities
For those who live far away from mountains, coastal regions and beaches are good places to spend time in the summer．With sea breezes in your hair, it is nice to take a hike or cycle ride while enjoying the coastline．If you want to be sportier, try beach games, such as soccer and volleyball．It's a totally different experience from playing on hard courts or grass．
Where to find: Just go to the beach or find an urban artificial beach such as the one in Chatoyant Park in Beijing or the man-made lake beach in Wuhan．
Tips: Loads of sunscreen needed; water and snacks are necessary; be aware of jellyfish and garbage floating in the water．
