Although it might not always feel like it, life is ridiculously short. It probably wouldn’t mean much or be worth much if it lasted forever. 8 it’s so short, with the limited time that you have, I recommend creating something worthwhile, and if you dare, 9 amazing. Think of your life as a major project, with a deadline. Every day, every week, month and year, you get the opportunity to 10 work on improving it piece by piece or sit back and watch it corrode away. That’s life. At some point, you have to be improving just to stay where you are. 第二节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，共 30 分）

When I was about 5 years old, I used to watch a bird in the skies of southern Alberta from the
Blackfoot Blood Reserve in Montana where I was born. I loved this bird; I would 11 him for hours. He would 12 effortlessly in that huge sky, or he would come down and light on the

A teacher of the English language told me that meksikatsi was not called meksikatsi, even though that is what 23 people have called that bird for thousands of years. Meksikatsi, he said, was really “duck”. I was very 24 with English. I could not understand it. First of all, the bird did not look like “duck”, and when it made a 25, it did not sound like “duck”. I was even more 26 when I found out that the meaning of the verb “to duck” came from the bird. As I 27 to understand English better, I understand that it made a great deal of 28 , but I never forgot that meksikatsi made a different kind of meaning.

A
Has anyone noticed how, with the passage of time, one’s relationship with one’s grown-up daughters and sons becomes changed? I’ve been aware of this for some time but I’m not quite sure how to deal with it.
Take the kitchen sink for example.
Following a family get-together at my place, I walked into the kitchen to find Kate, my daughter carefully cleaning the sink.
\do that; what are you doing that for?\I said, unhappy about the hidden criticism. \tap here was black! \
But it’s not just things like kitchen sinks. Another time Kate arrived to pick me up to lunch. She looked at me and then asked, \grey?\
A sudden memory of her, aged 14, going to her first mixed party flooded back. She had come in to say goodbye. For a moment I thought she’d been an accident. Both eyes were black. I remember suggesting that perhaps a little less eye make-up might be more effective.
Now I told her, \\
\
\but you’re not Mrs. Menzies, are you?\But a recent event makes me realize that something really must be done.
She had returned home for a few weeks before getting married. One evening I went out on a dinner date. By the time my companion left me at the front door, it was about 2 am. As I stepped in, an angry figure in a white nightgown stopped me.
\I’ve been worried sick!\
Shades of the past come back to disturb me. But what should I do about all this? Nothing, probably. Maybe, after all, it’s only a stage young people are going through. 31. The daughter thought her mother didn’t clean the kitchen sink well because of her A. carelessness

Subject: Hi! Dear Mr. Mallory,
I am writing to tell you my deep disappointment for my experience at Lingua Nova English summer school in the first two weeks of July. I had been thoroughly looking forward to learning English and learning about culture in the UK, but I am afraid that my time at your summer school failed to live up to my expectations.
Your brochure states that the student accommodation is situated “in the heart of Edinburgh”. This is misleading as my accommodation was, in fact, situated a good fifty minutes bus ride from the city center in what I can only describe as a less than picturesque part of the suburbs. In addition, the activity program did not reflect the fact that we were located in one of Europe’s most interesting and historical cities: one evening activity consisted of a walk to a nearby park, another was a trip to a narrow street which was not usually used by cars. Finally, on our one trip into the city center our “guide” readily admitted that she was not from Edinburgh, and had in fact never visited the city before. I had been eagerly expecting a guided tour of Scotland’s treasures. In fact, I was left in the city center with no map and told to “check things out” while your employee went shopping in Princes Street.
This was a long awaited trip and cost me over two years’ hard work and saving. Although I do have positive memories of my trip (my English teachers were knowledgeable and inspiring), the accommodation and activity program were wholly unsatisfactory.
I would like to get my money back for the accommodation and would really appreciate a reply within the next two weeks.
Yours sincerely, Jovan Gagic

On March 28th, The New York Times will begin charging all but the most infrequent users to read articles online.
In a letter to readers, Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., the publisher of the paper, laid out the details of the paywall, which he said will go into effect immediately in Canada and on March 28th for the rest of the world. He called the move “an important step that we hope you will see as an investment in The New York Times, one that will strengthen our ability to provide high-quality journalism to readers around the world and on any platform.”
Sulzberger said that readers will be able to read 20 articles per month at no charge. Once they click on the 21st piece, however, they’ll be presented with three payment options: $15 for four weeks of online and mobile application access, $20 for access to the site and the iPad application, or $35 for access to everything. People who already receive the printed paper through home delivery will enjoy free and unlimited access to The New York Times on all platforms.
These details largely agree with earlier reports on how the paywall would work. The New York Times had made it clear that it did not want to imitate the total paywalls put into effect by papers such as The Times of London and Newsday, which block access to all contents unless the reader pays.
The paper also signaled that it wants to stay relevant in the social media world. According to Sulzberger’s announcement, people who come to The New York Times site from Facebook, Twitter or from blogs will be able to read those articles even if they have gone over their monthly limit.
However, Sulzberger said that a limit will be placed on “some search engines”, meaning that after readers have accessed a certain number of articles from search engines, any further articles they access from there will be added to their monthly count. It was reported that the only search engine that will be affected this way is Google, where there will be a five-article limit. This marks a clear attempt by The New York Times to close what could be a giant loophole ( 漏 洞 ), since so much online traffic is directed through Google. But it also presents a risk for the paper for the same reason.
Sulzberger seems well aware of the risk. “The challenge now is to put a price on our work
.
B. share experiences D. raise expectations
37. What effect does Jovan want his email to have on Mr. Mallory?
