Doing What You Love

What do you want to be when you grow up? 1. When asked the question, did you have an answer at the ready, or did you need a few minutes to think about it? We all have dreams of becoming something great, like a fireman, a teacher, or a rock star. Well, how did you do? Maybe you never desire to be what you set out to be or said that you would become. 2.

The older we get, our tastes change, our view of the world changes, even our goals change.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned during my career path is to do something you love to do. I feel that if you enjoy what you make a living at, you end up being happy in more ways than one. 3.

While no job or business is perfect, the important thing is to enjoy it, even learn from it. If you are unhappy in your current situation, why not take steps now to change it? 4. If you are already there, I applaud you. If not , realize that it may take some time to figure out what you really want to do, and even more time to actually get there. That’s all right! I can tell you from experience that finding and doing what you love are absolutely worth it. All of the research, training, and hands-on experience have made me a stronger, happier person.

5. You’ll be happier for it.Trust me. I promise you will never look back.

A. But then again, things change.

B. Do what you love and love what you do.

C. Life itself becomes much more interesting and fun.

D. You must have met with such situation as a little child.

E. Maybe you will find that the new job is more suitable for you.

F. Somewhere out there is a job or business that is perfect for you.

G. I’m sure you were asked this question at least once when you were a youngster.

    Everybody sleeps, but what people stay up late to catch or wake up early in order not to miss varies by culture. From data collected, it seems the things that cause us to lose the most sleep, on average, are sporting events, time changes, and holidays.

Russia’s late nights and early mornings generally correspond(相一致)to public holidays. On New Year’s Eve, Russians have the world’s latest bedtime, hitting the hay at around 3:30 a. m. Russians also get up an hour later on International Women’s Day, the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.

Similarly, Americans’ late nights, late mornings, and longest sleep fall on three-day weekends.

Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey(冰球)final.

The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation. The worst night for sleep in the U. K. was the night of the England-Italy match on June 14. British people stayed up a half-hour later to watch it, and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summer nights, the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime. That was nothing, though, compared to Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the World Cup.

It should be made clear that not everyone has a tool to record their sleep patterns; in some of these nations, it’s likely that only the richest people do. And people who select to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person. Even if that’s the case, the above findings are still striking. If the most health-conscious (注重健康的) among us have such deep swings(明显改变)in our sleep levels throughout the year, how much sleep are the rest of us losing?

1.What do we learn about the Russians regarding sleep?

A.They don’t fall asleep until very late.

B.They don’t sleep much on weekends.

C.They get less sleep on public holidays.

D.They sleep longer than people elsewhere.

2.The underlined word “deprivation” in the last paragraph but one means_______.

A.depression B.trouble

C.observation D.loss

3.Why do some rich people use a tool to record their sleep patterns?

A.They want to get more sleep.

B.They have trouble falling asleep.

C.They are involved in a sleep research.

D.They want to go to bed on regular hours.

4.What does the author imply in the last paragraph?

A.It is important to study our sleep patterns.

B.Few people really know the importance of sleep.

C.Sleeplessness does harm to people’s health.

D.Average people probably sleep more than the rich.

    Speaking of children--what child doesn’t like to jump around and act silly sometimes? Monkeys are also known for acting silly. So, when kids act up, parents or teachers may tell them to stop monkeying around. It means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.

Now, in the United States, children do not usually have monkeys as pets, but they do often have dogs. And dogs make most children feel happy. But for some reason, we use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are as sick as a dog, you are really sick and will most likely stay home from work or school.

Besides, dogs and cats are also favorite pets here in the States. This next phrase combines cats and secrets to make a very common expression. Let’s say you know a secret, a big secret. And let’s say you tell it to people. You have just let the cat out of the bag! This idiom means revealing (揭示) a secret or telling facts that were previously (先前) unknown.

If you let the cat out of the bag, you spoil a surprise. So, if your friend is planning a big surprise birthday for another friend, don’t let the cat out of the bag by accidentally saying it in front of the birthday girl. Even though this is a very common idiom, the origin of “to let the cat out of the bag” is also unknown.

If you are doing an outdoor activity--such as hiking in the woods, or having a picnic in a park--what are some things that may disturb your good time? Bad weather could. And so could bugs! Crawling pests like ants, and flying ones like mosquitoes, could make your experience uncomfortable or annoying.

So, when we bug people we bother them so much that we affect their good time. This common expression is often said as a command: “Stop bugging me !”

1.According to the passage, “monkeying around” is considered _______.

A.silly B.wrong

C.proper D.happy

2.If you ask somebody to reveal a secret, you may use the phrase “_______”.

A.stop bugging me B.as sick as a dog

C.monkeying around D.let the cat out of the bag

3.What is the meaning of the phrase “stop bugging me”?

A.Don’t trouble me. B.Give up your good time.

C.Stop feeling annoyed. D.Don’t comfort me.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The names of animals in the English language.

B.The meaning of some English phrases.

C.The origins of phrases about animals.

D.The strange usages of some words.
