Always Changing
Mark is leaving, and I’m feeling kind of sad.
You probably don’t know Mark, but you might be lucky enough 36 someone just like him. He’s been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining 37 professional skills with a sweet and gentle nature.
And now he’s moving on to an exciting new professional 38 . It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime, and we’re 39 for him. But that doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye to him.
Life has a way of throwing these curve(曲線)balls 40 us. Just when we start to get comfortable with a person, a place or a situation, something comes along to 41 the recipe.
Our ability to cope with change 42 to a great degree, our peace, happiness and contentment in life.
But how do we do that? A friend of mine is fond of reminding us that“survivability depends upon 43 .”And then there’s Chris the California surf-rat, who once told me that the answer to life’s problems can be 44 in four words:“Go with the flow.”
I’m not exactly sure , but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of 45 —both good and bad . No matter how excellent your skill , there will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no 46 . The truly successful person expects the unexpected, and is prepared to 47 adjustments should the need arise-as it almost 48 does.
That doesn't mean you don't keep trying to make all your 49 come true.It just means that when things come up that aren't 50 in your plan,you work around them—and then you move on。
“Change,indeed,is painful, 51 ever needful,”said philosopher Thomas Carlyle.“And if memory has its force and worth,so also has 52 .”
we're going to miss Mark. But rather than stay on the 53 of our parting,we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future-for him,and for us.And then we'll go out and 54
everything we can to make that future happen. 55 our plans change--again.

On Jan. 3, a netizen(網(wǎng)民)nicknamed “Programmer Humor”published a short story on his micro-blog. It said that there was an old lady who swept nearly every inch of his Internet company. When she passed by a programmer, she took a look at the codes on the programmer’s computer and kindly reminded him, “Be careful, the stack is overfilled!”
Certainly, it is a casual and fictitious(虛構(gòu)的)story made up by the micro-blogger. However, no one would have guessed that the short blog would eventually cause the first great Internet meme(網(wǎng)絡(luò)快速爆紅現(xiàn)象) of 2011 in China. Suddenly, the mysterious “Sweeping Old Lady” is showing up nearly everywhere and reminding professionals of their mistakes. From 8 a. m. on Jan. 5, some netizens collected stories of the “Sweeping Old Lady” and found she had appeared to give advice in 150 kinds of careers. A netizen even said he had met with a similar situation in real life.
Actually, the “Sweeping Old Lady” is not new figure, but is based on the “sweeping monk (和尚)”in Louis Cha’s famous Kung fu novel of “Tian Long Ba Bu”. The “sweeping monk” is an old monk and does the lowest class of work in Shaolin Temple, but he is actually the No. 1 master in the noel both in Kung fu and in the study of Buddhism.
The “Sweeping Old Lady” is also a great modest master. Lots of netizens wish that they could have such a lady beside them to give them precious suggestions at a key time.
Although there may be 1,000 “Sweeping Old Ladies” in 1,000 people’s minds, it cannot prevent the “Sweeping Old Lady” from becoming the most popular figure on the Internet.
“Programmer Humor” said he is just a programmer in the real world and once he saw the story about the “Sweeping Old Lady,” he wrote it down in his micro-blog because it was funny. He never knew who the original writer of the story was and never thought the story could be so popular.

科目:高中英語 來源:四川省成都七中09-10學(xué)年高二下學(xué)期期中考試 題型:閱讀理解
In the virtual (虛擬的) world, she is a popular Kungfu writer Ling Feng. At school, she is a quick-witted party emcee (主持人) and competent student union leader. She is always one of the top three scorers of her grade and the winner of various academic competitions. Last week she became the only student to be recommended by her school principal (校長(zhǎng)) to Peking University.
She is 18-year-old Zhu Zhenhui of Haimen High School in Jiangsu, one of the 39 high schools from which Peking University will enroll students recommended by their principals next year.
Zhu stood out among more than 30 candidates(候選人), but not only for her excellent high school reports and test scores. More importantly, she has performed outstandingly in other areas, which the principal believes will not cause the least controversy (爭(zhēng)議) among students and teachers.
Zhu loves public speaking, in both Chinese and English. Her eloquence (口才) and quick mind make her an obvious choice to introduce ceremonies and parties on campus. As a news reporter and broadcaster on her school's radio station, Zhu has a keen sense of current affairs. The young journalist interviewed Sophia Ming Ren Leung, the first female Chinese Canadian senator (議員), when the politician visited a Nanjing school where she once studied. In the same year, she won the opportunity to question Kaifu Lee when the former Google vice-president appeared at a talk show on a local TV station.
Every Sunday Zhu chairs a student union meeting, where she leads discussion on timetables, events and routine (例行) work for the following week. Under her are the ministers of the union's six departments. “The work has made me organized and decisive,” she said. On November 21, at the invitation of Zhu and other union members, the famous gymnast Huang Xu attended the opening ceremony of the school's Sports Festival.
Some girls dream of being a princess, but not Zhu. Her fantasy is to be a knight (俠士) in one of Louis Cha (Jin Yong)'s or Gu Long's works. Her online novel, in the Jianghu World, is a huge success under her pen name Ling Feng. In the 120,000-character story, a girl learns to be tolerant and positive after an accidental journey to the ancient world. A book of the same title came out in June. “I'm working on the sequel (續(xù)集),” she said.
1.Which of the following is NOT the correct description of Zhu Zhenhui?
A. An admired writer. B. An eloquent speaker.
C. A gifted dancer. D. A born leader.
2.As a leader of the student union, Zhu has done quite a lot of impressive work EXCEPT _______.
A. interviewing former vice-president of Google
B. leading discussion on routine work
C. helping organize major events in school
D. inviting gymnast Huang Xu to attend Sports Festival
3.What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?
A. quick in mind B. fast in action
C. speak quickly D. rapid in memorizing
4.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Zhu learns to be tolerant and positive after leading the student union.
B. Zhu’s first novel which has 120,000 different characters has come out.
C. The school principal recommended Zhu to be enrolled in Peking University because it would cause the least controversy.
D. The first female Chinese Canadian senator is Zhu’s schoolmate.
