The following are some explanations of what they mean.  
    2    
     In Mandarin(中文), it is pronounced "Huo Dao Lao, Xue Dao Lao". Learning is an important part
of existence. As we live and grow old, we should never stop learning. In every life stage, there are more
things to learn. It shouldn't stop．
     There Are No Limits To Learning

lifelong learning attribute speaks about continuity．This speaks about no boundaries. You should not limit
the fields of what you learn.     3    
     The Love For Learning Never Tires You
     Pronounced "Hao Xue Bu Juan" in Mandarin it is loosely translated, as the love for learning should
never tire you. The first two lifelong learning attributes talk about continuous learning and no boundaries.
Learning is dynamic. It is ever moving, ever changing．     4     When you have the perseverance for
self-cultivation then the rewards are becoming more and more in life.
     Only After Learning, Do You Know What You Do Not Know
         5     Self-reflection is an important process in self-directed learning. In Mandarin it is pronounced,
"Xue Er Hou Zhi Bu Zu". Translated - it means that only after learning we know what we do not know.

     The parents of a troubled teen may feel unsure as to whom to turn to in order to find help for their
child. They may feel as if they have exhausted all of their options, and sometimes they are on the verge
of giving up. But there is hope. Schools for troubled teens offer discipline and in some cases, drug
treatment programs that can provide important life skills, and more importantly, a fresh start.
     The following is a list of the most effective types of schools for troubled teens. Not every facility is
a match for every child, but by knowing the differences between them, parents can make a better
educated decision about where to send their teenager.
     Boarding Schools
     When a child is unable to deal with the relative freedom of a standard school day, boarding schools
might be a good choice. At boarding schools, the child lives in a dorm setting, where almost every minute
of the day is scheduled by school administrators.
     Treatment Centers
     When a teenager has an addiction to drugs or alcohol, a residential center that specializes in young
people is an outstanding way to help them break the cycle of addiction. Treatment centers feature
individual and group counseling to help identify the root causes of the drug problem and help develop
the life skills needed to stay clean when the program is over.
     Wilderness Programs  
     Designed to help improve the discipline and self-reliance of the child, wilderness programs send kids
back to nature. By placing them in a foreign and sometimes uncomfortable setting, wilderness programs
hope to improve children's behavior. Programs generally include hikes, exercise programs and team
building exercises.
     Boot Camps
     Boot camps are the most extreme style of school for troubled teens. These facilities are modeled
after actual military boot camps, where the individual must get into shape, work as part of a team, and
follow a long, hard set of rules and regulations. However, boot camps might not be the best choice for
a teen with a drug addiction.

     You get all sorts of demands, and the mark of a good hotel is to supply whatever is asked for
without sounding surprised. If a guest asks for rubbers gloves, you don't ask why. You say, "No
problem. What color do you want?"
    There have been some demands which, much as I would have liked to fill, I couldn't. A Japanese
businessman, for example, thought the manager of a hotel was like his girlfriend so he asked me to
marry him to the woman he loved. There was one time, however, we did help out. A young man thought
that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him at the Ritz(瑞士著名的豪華酒店)she would say yes. He
asked us to put the ring in a cake, and she accepted.
    Top hotels are used more and more to impress. They are used for doing business. If you've got
something to sell, take your clients(客戶) to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful.
A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells the story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say "
Good morning, Mr. Smith saying, "I do wish they would leave me alone at this place."
     According to Julian Payne, the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters, who carry bags
for hotel guests. "Porters can do almost anything. They can get you tables at the best restaurants or
tickets for a popular concert. Don't ask me how they do it or what their deal is because I don't know.
Most of them have been there for years. They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests
than anyone else. They are invaluable. A head porter will come in even on his day off so he can say
hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago."

1. When guests ask for something strange, the manager of a good hotel would think _____.

A. how he can meet their needs                
B. why they have such demands
C. what problems the hotels has              
D. who is the best person to go to

A. They sell tickets for concerts              
B. They can complete difficult tasks
C. They know the history of hotels            
D. They usually work in a hotel for a long time

3. Which of the following examples explains "we did help out?"

A. The hotel bought a ring for a young lady
B. A Japanese married the woman he loved
C. The manager once acted as a captain
D. A young lady agreed to marry her boyfriend

4. By saying "I do wish they would leave me alone at this place", Mr. Smith_____.

     根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
     Watching a sporting event with family and friends under the sun is a great experience in summer.
   1   In the United States, heat exposure led to 8,000 deaths between 1979 and 2003. Luckily, a
little prevention can go a long way towards making sure of an enjoyable day.
     Know the danger
     Heat-related illnesses do not require record-breaking temperatures to occur.   2   The body's
temperature can reach 106 or 107 degrees Fahrenheit on a 90-degree day, creating a potentially
deadly situation. Factors such as age, weight or a medical condition can influence people.
     Drink plenty of water
       3   Sweating is your body's key way to keep cool, so drink water to stay well hydrated(含水的)
before you feel thirsty. A cool beer may sound perfect on a hot day, but drink responsibly. Alcohol
stops the body's cooling system and causes you to go to the bathroom frequently.
         4    
     Wear light-colored and loosely fitting clothing, so air can go around your body and help keep you
cool. A hat is a must to help you keep cool, since your head contains many blood vessels(血管), and
sun block(防曬乳) is always a good idea.
     Take action
     What should you do if you are suffering from the heat while watching your favorite event?
     Get up and go. It is a simple piece of advice, but could make the difference between a quick recovery
and something more severe that requires medical attention. The ideal thing is to move yourself from the
position you're in to an area that is a little cooler.  5  
A. Dress for the occasion
B. Weather-related causes
C. In hot weather, it is essential to stay hydrated.
D. You may miss a little of the action, but it beats missing a lot.
E. But when you add sun exposure to the crowds, the results can be deadly.
F. It is also important to take advantage of services the equipment provides.
G. Temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit can be dangerous.

     Have you ever heard of blogs (博客)? If you haven't, you should have. It's here, it's growing and it's
having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you'll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from "weblog", is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which
a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon
which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or
be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are
"published", so other people can read them.
     Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called "blogging".
Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with
Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as "text and photos" in a blog
can be called "blog posts", "posts", or "entries". The person who posts these entries is called a "blogger".
     Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it's great
potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He's trying to make blogs the

     The person behind you constantly kicks the back of your seat. Your talkative seatmate doesn't
understand your need for sleep. And the aircraft's bathroom is a total mess. These situations can
make even a short flight unbearable . Hopefully you don't cause these unpleasant experiences for
others.   1  .

knees by the seat in front of you. In addition, don't keep your seat reclined for the entire flight. Always
keep it upright during mealtimes. And remember to put it in the upright position before going to the
restroom (or anytime you leave your seat. )

passengers to stand up to let you pass when they still have their food trays. And when using the
bathroom ,always clean up after yourself -the next user will be grateful !
     Keep your body -and your possessions -to yourself as much as possible so as not to crowd your
in-flight seatmate(s) . Share the armrest , especially on a long flight . Also, be careful not to kick or
push on the seat in front of you.
     While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight, not everyone does. Some
people may want to nap ,read or work.    3

hear through your headphones if the volume is too high.

way. You just need to lift and squeeze it to get a small amount of the soap from the bottle. The soap

power to handle even the most difficult jobs. But with extras of aloe, calendula and other natural skin
softeners, it actually helps prevent skin dryness and trouble while you do the dishes.

     Among the most popular forms of dieting is the South Beach diet, developed by Arthur Agatston
of Miami, Florida. Dr. Agatston developed the South Beach diet for his patients with heart problems
to lose weight. Since weight matters a lot in keeping heart healthy and traditional low-fat diets were too
difficult for them to stick to, Dr. Agatston decided to create a plan that could help his patients. At first,
the diet was just for his patients. Soon, thanks to his patients' success, the diet became the buzz in
Miami, and eventually, word spread across the nation.
     This diet focuses on a healthy balance between carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and fats. It is based
on eating a combination of "good" carbohydrates and fats, while limiting those "bad" ones. It is divided
into three different phases.
     The first phase lasts for two weeks and is the strictest of the three. During this phase, you are asked
to restrict (限制) all carbohydrates (good and bad). You are allowed to eat all types of fish, cheeses,
eggs, and nuts, and a large number of vegetables. Most dieters can expect to lose between 8 and 12
pounds during this phase.
     During Phase 2, you are allowed to reintroduce some of those carbohydrates that are not allowed
before. You are encouraged to start eating carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index (升糖指數(shù)).
But you should keep in mind that the key is moderation (適度). Most people continue to lose 1-2
pounds per week. You continue with this phase until you reach your target weight.
     Phase 3 is designed to help you keep your weight. During Phase 3, you can reintroduce some of
the carbohydrates that have a higher glycemic index, although again, this should be in moderation. Phase
3 is meant to be a way of life.
