In their last moments before the flight took off, I heard a father saying to his daughter, “I love you. I wish you enough.” The daughter said, “Dad, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too.” They kissed goodbye and the daughter left. I could see the father was very sad.

Suddenly the father walked towards me and asked me, “Did you ever say goodbye to someone knowing it might be the last time?”

His words made me think of my father. Realizing that my father’s days were limited (有限的), I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I understood what this father was experiencing.

“Yes, I did,” I answered. “But why is this a last goodbye?”

“I am old and my daughter lives much too far away. Maybe her next trip back will be for my funeral (葬禮),” he said.

“When you were saying goodbye, I heard you say ‘I wish you enough’. What does that mean?”

He began to smile. “My parents said it to me before. When we say ‘I wish you enough’, we want the other person to have a life filled with enough good things.” He stopped for a moment and continued, “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude (觀點(diǎn)) bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate (欣賞) the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger ... I wish you enough ‘Hellos’ to get you through the final ‘Goodbye’”.

He then said goodbye to me and walked away.

Papua New Guinea is the eastern part of the island of New Guinea. It has a population of just over eight million. The capital is Port Moresby. The country became independent from Australia in 1975. There are over 800 languages in Papua New Guinea. That's more languages than in any other country in the world.

Papua New Guinea is a land of mountains and rainforests. Most communities have little contact with each other or with the outside world. It's for this reason that so many different languages have developed.

The official (官方的) languages of Papua New Guinea are Tok Pisin, English and Hiri Motu. Although English is an official language, it is only spoken as a first language by a small percentage of the population.

Tok Pisin is spoken by most people. It is an English-based creole. The word “tok” comes from the English word for “talk” and means “word” or “speech”.

“Pisin” means “pidgin”. A pidgin language is one which is a mixture of two other languages, while a creole is a pidgin language that has become the mother language of a community. Tok Pisin started as a pidgin language and became a creole language.

Although the majority (大多數(shù)) of Tok Pisin vocabulary (詞匯) comes from English, it also includes words from German, Portuguese, Latin and a number of other languages.

Tok Pisin is sometimes used in the first three years of primary school in Papua New Guinea, while English is used in secondary education.

1.How long is the history of Papua New Guinea as an independent country?

A.Over 40 years. B.About 100 years. C.About 200 years. D.Over 800 years.

2.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?

A.Communities in Papua New Guinea. B.The natural beauty of Papua New Guinea.

I'm often asked the question “How did you become a reporter?” You see, everybody expected me to follow in my father's footsteps and become a doctor. Well, during my last year of school I visited a career counsellor (職業(yè)顧問) named Lisa and I drove her crazy with my choices.

My first choice was a chocolate taster. Although Lisa didn't know the job well, she got me some information about it. I discovered that chocolate tasters make a lot of money, so I was sure I had found my dream job. However, when I found out that chocolate tasters don't just sit around eating chocolate all day, I lost my interest.

Next, I thought of becoming a football referee (裁判). I had loved football from a young age, but being a professional footballer was out of the question, as I couldn't play very well. However, it seems that referees must be able to run two and a half miles in less than twelve minutes and they are required to take exams throughout their training. So, my dream of becoming a referee died.

Finally, I had this idea of becoming a dog stylist (造型師). That was after I realized how much money our dog stylist, Shirley, was being paid. However, once, while she was styling Philipo, I noticed that he tried to bite (咬) her. “It happens all the time,” she told me. As you can imagine, that really put me off.

To cut a long story short, all this research made me realize I had a talent for investigation (調(diào)查), so by the end of the school year I had decided to become a reporter.

1.What can we know about the writer's first dream job?

A.It is a job that pays well. B.It is what his father is doing.

C.It is what Lisa expected him to do. D.It is a job that requires one to sit all day.

2.Why was the writer interested in becoming a football referee instead of a player?

A.He wanted to run less. B.He wasn't young enough.

C.He wanted to take fewer exams. D.He couldn't play football very well.

3.Philipo is probably _______.

A.Shirley's dog B.the writer's dog C.Shirley's stylist D.the writer's stylist

4.Which of the following contains the words that are closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 4?

A.When she calls, put her off as long as you can. B.It'd be much better to put it off till tomorrow.

C.I asked the driver to put me off at the station. D.The accident put him off driving for life.

5.What is the passage mainly about?

A.How to choose the right job. B.Different jobs the writer has tried.

C.How the writer became a reporter. D.The importance of career counsellors.

To reach your full potential (潛力), you should live like a sportsperson. To live like a sportsperson, you need to have the following things.

A goal. Sportspersons know exactly what they are trying to achieve. They have a goal and work towards achieving it. Similarly, you need to have a goal. You need to have a purpose in your life. In fact, I believe that this is the starting point. It will drive the other parts of your life.

Discipline (紀(jì)律). Sportspersons are disciplined in their training. They have to do certain things whether they feel like it or not. Similarly, you need discipline in completing your tasks. Discipline will make you do what you need to do.

A coach. A sportsperson needs a coach to reach his potential. The coach will help him know what to do and get him back on track (重新步入正軌) if necessary. Also, if the situation changes, the coach will come up with a new plan for him. Similarly, having a mentor (導(dǎo)師) will help you reach your goals faster. It might not be easy to find a mentor in real life, but you can learn from virtual (虛擬的) mentors. By reading their books and watching their interviews, you’ll know what advice they would give to you.

Supporters. Just like a sportsperson needs supporters, you also need supporters. These are people who encourage you to keep going in difficult times. These are people who believe in you no matter what happens. Having supporters can make a big difference.

Live like a sportsperson, and you will be on your way to reaching your full potential.
