Australia

Goodbye to the bears

Koalas, a symbol of Australia, may die out within 15 years as the growth of towns along the east coast destroys their fragile (易毁坏的) habitats.

A survey of the koala habitats found that about 30 percent were no longer home, while 60 percent had suffered much destruction. The Australian Koala Foundation has written to the government urging it to declare the koala an endangered species. At present, there are about 100,000 koalas in Australia.

Iraq

Rebel attacks worsen

More than 100 people, including three US soldiers, were killed in bloody attacks in five Iraqi cities last Thursday. At least 300 people were wounded.

The violence was part of efforts made by Iraqi rebels (反抗者) and foreign militants to ruin the formal handover to Iraqi rule in six days’ time. A group headed by al-Qaida-linked (和基地组织有联系的) terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi said they were responsible for the attacks.

Shenzhen’s salaries are the best

A survey showed average annual income in Shenzhen last year reaching 25,500 yuan, the highest in the country, followed by Beijing and Shanghai. Shenzhen plans to issue a salary guidebook listing average salaries in different occupations, so people working there can better understand their career situation — or perhaps even argue with the boss.

高二英语阅读理解简单题查看答案及解析

It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.

First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”. Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new．

Another good thing about mistakes is this: When you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work．

Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why?

Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeeded. Every time you make a mistake you eliminate one of those things and are one step closer.

But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.

We all have limited resources in the form of time and money, so don’t blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate（分配）these resources appropriately so you can learn, make corrections, and try it again. Only by accepting and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.

There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough.”

So go forth and make mistakes.　 And learn. And grow.　 And prosper（成功）.

1.From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _______．

A. mistakes are unnecessary for development

B. we are afraid of trying new things

C. it’s common for people to make mistakes

D. mi stakes are better than not trying

2.The underlined word “eliminate” means _______.

A. avoid　　　 B. remove　　　 C. accept　　 D. solve

3.According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is______ .

A. avoiding making the same mistakes

B. accepting the punishment willingly

C. taking consequences into account

D. trying things out one by one

4.What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?

A. Never mind, I can always try again．

B. I’d better stay out of trouble．

C. Ok! Now I can learn something．

D. Look at this mess. Anyone would be upset．

Everybody gets angry, but out-of-control anger isn't good for you or those around you. So here are five simple strategies to help you learn how to manage your anger:

• Relax. Breathe deeply, from your stomach. 1. Repeat it to yourself and visualize a relaxing time and experience.

• Change the way you think. When you're angry, your thinking can get exaggerated (夸大的). 2. For instance, instead of telling yourself, “Oh, it's terrible! Everything's ruined,” tell yourself, “It's understandable that I'm upset about it, but it's not the end of the world.”

• 3. Statements like “This never works.” or “You're always forgetting things.” will make you feel your anger is justified (情有可原的) and there's no way to solve the problem. They might upset people who might be willing to work with you on a solution.

• Have a better communication. Angry people tend to jump to conclusions. If you are in a heated discussion, slow down. 4. And take your time before answering. Instead of saying the first thing that comes into your head, think carefully about what you want to say.

• Use humor. Psychologists say that highly angry people tend to think “things ought to go my way!” “Silly humor” can help you get a more balanced perspective. So, when you feel that anger coming the next time, picture yourself as a king or queen, walking around, admired by everybody, and getting your own way in every situation. The more detail you can get into your imaginary scenes, the more likely it is to put a smile on your face. 5.

A.Be careful with words like “never” or “always”.

B.Listen carefully to what the other person is saying.

C.Try replacing these thoughts with more reasonable ones.

D.Avoid using these strategies when you're in a tense situation.

E.Then slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as “take it easy”.

F.Try changing the topics so your talks won't turn into arguments.

G.That will help you realize that the things you're angry about are really not very important.
