If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.

Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty(不確定) in such active light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.

When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting(咨詢), but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income(收入)by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.

She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ourselves.

The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.

1.From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that .

A. being out of work is a sad thing

B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting

C. life in a film is more exciting than real life

D. chance never appears when we need it

2.What troubles Allison after graduation?

A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job.

B. She had no money to start a business.

C. She was not sure what to do.

D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school.

3.How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience?

A. Uncertain. B. Amazed.

C. Sorry. D. Satisfied.

4.What may be discussed in the following paragraph?

A. How to deal with uncertainty.

B. What role uncertainty plays in life.

C. Why people fear uncertainty.

D. Whom to go to when facing uncertainty.

We all dream about things that we would like to do we hope to achieve in the future.But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part in it.

What are the hopes of teenagers?

We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after finishing your education? I t seems some students would like to start work as soon as possible, so that they can help provide better lives for their parents.Other students hope to continue studying after finis hing school and to go to university.Although money is important, many teenagers said they want to do jobs they enjoy.According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.

What are the dreams of teenagers?

Teenagers have all kinds of dreams.Some are more realistic than others.For example, many students said they would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides.And some said they dream of going to the moon one day.

According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams.Quite a few dream of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers.Some said they’d like to go on exciting trips; one student said she’d love to sail across the Pacific Ocean.And then there are dreams that are impossible; three students said they’d like to be able to fly!

onclusion: It was clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes.It seems that most stude nts hope to have a good education and find a good joB. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things.It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams; one day they may just come true.

A company in California,US,has decided to offer online smells to people who visit its website.
That is,if a pizza image comes on screen,your nose will catch the smell of bread and cheese!All you need to do is to connect a device(設(shè)備)called“iSmell”with your computer.This smart little device contains(包含)some chemicals that can create different kinds of smells.
The company has invented software that changes the chemical composition(成分)of different smells into digital signals(數(shù)字信號(hào)).An onscreen image,which is programmed with the proper digital signal,will start the“iSmell" device.The device will use the software to change' the digital signal again and let go of the correct smell.This device reads the digital smell code(代碼)from the website and creates the proper smell from its store of chemicals.This smell is then made to blow softly in the direction of the user with the support of a small fan.
In order to let go of the correct smell,the company has created a“Scent Registry”,which contains a digital index of thousands of smells.The company plans to allow website developers to integrate(合成)the proper smells in digital code to their games and images.The company is also hoping that Hollywood filmmakers will use the smell technology in their movies.Imagine audiences getting the smell of rocket fuel as a spacecraft takes off on the cinema screen!Of course,filmmakers will have to be careful not to shoot in dirty neighborhoods,which have a lot of rubbish lying arounD.
