請閱讀下面短文，并按要求以Our Life Rests on Our Choice為題，用英語寫一篇150詞左右的文章。

Life is a matter of choice．Seemingly, it means a choice of concrete (具體的) things．But in fact, it means choosing a way of life．Life is to be lived and enjoyed, not to be wasted or complained about．

Hardly can we forget the time when our society faced the threat from the life-and death disease --- SARS．Yet, even during those dreadful times, some suffering people remained optimistic．Instead of wearing white masks, some people turned to colorful ones, and thus displayed a happy mood．And some creative people dubbed SARS to mean “SMILE AND REMAIN SMILING．” People who survive these kinds of circumstances decide in their minds to carry on in spite of the hardships．

Although we cannot choose our appearance, inborn gifts and even avoid unexpected disasters and adversities (逆境), we do have the right to choose to live optimistically, to love our lives, to have dreams, and to cherish hopes．

Every morning when we get up, we have a choice of how we want to approach life that day．

寫作內(nèi)容：

1. 用約30個單詞寫出上文的概要；

2. 用約120個詞就“Our Life Rests on Our Choice” 談談你的看法和感受，內(nèi)容包括：

（1）簡要敘述你對“Our Life Rests on Our Choice”的理解；

（2）請舉例說明你會選擇怎樣的人生態(tài)度；

（3）簡要敘述你這樣選擇的理由。（至少2點）

I am usually in a bad mood after a long day at work, but on this particular Friday afternoon I was in a high mood．I planned to have a good meal and watch Bridget Jones’s Diary.
My local supermarket is always busy．The first parking space I spotted was convenient, but I’d noticed a woman in an old car circling for a while．I let her have it．On the edge of the car park I backed into the next available spot — it was a tight fit.
In record time I’d made my way through the supermarket and was back in the fresh air．In a rush of good spirits, I emptied my purse change into the hands of a homeless man and helped a struggling woman reverse (倒車) into a parking space.
Just as I spotted my car, I saw the woman I’d let have my car spot earlier．I smiled and wished her a pleasant day.
As I got back into my car, I spotted the same lady looking in at me．“ Hello,” she said, hesitantly (猶豫地)．“ This might sound crazy but I was on my way to drop some of my mother’s things off at the charity bins.” I looked quickly at the orange bins in the corner of the parking lot, confused．“ I saw you helping those people, and you seemed so happy．My mom had a dress just like that.”
She looked at me meaningfully．I smiled at her in encouragement, hoping she wouldn’t notice that the dress she was admiring was now full of holes．“ I was going to give these away, but you are just so much like her.” She passed a box in through the window．Shocked, unthinking, I took it automatically (無意識地)．“ I think she would like you to have it.” She smiled and walked away.
After a pause, I opened the box．Inside was a beautiful gold necklace．It was the nicest gift I’d ever received, and it was from a complete stranger.
Later, I thought back on the day．I didn’t feel the usual sense of exhaustion．The necklace was around my neck, a warm reminder of human kindness.


1.This Friday afternoon, the author ________.
A． watched a new movie
B． had trouble parking her car
C． was in the mood to help others
D． spent a long time in the supermarket
2.Which of the following is TRUE about the author?
A． She was not very wealthy actually.
B． She considered her dress beautiful.
C． She had met the lady’s mum.
D． She was living on charity.
3.What does the author mainly intend to tell us?

Most teens I meet these days lack basic social courtesy when dealing with people.

My own son, who basically grew up with his grandmother, the original guru, has perfect table manners. This is partly because he was to manners at a very young age. However, when we eat at home, he would not manners. So I asked him why. He said,” I behave the way I am supposed to when I’m out, but when I am at home I want to be .”

That’s when I realized that most parents, myself included, do their children the proper way to behave outside the home, but they are also to believe that at home, anything goes.

My to him was “good behavior has nothing to do with where you are or whom you are with”.

Then he answered, “But I behave when I’m with others so that they think better of me.” And that is when I realized that I was doing things all . I explained to him that it had nothing to do with what people think. This him even more.

So I went on to explain that behavior, whether in your everyday with people or at the dining table at home, is an of who you are. Well, at the age of 13, he got it.

So basically, what I am saying is that teaching your children comes with the underlying lesson that it is not about to do or not to do, but rather, who they are. This way it is not ; it comes from within.

Teach your teens or children the courtesy of greeting their friends’ parents and themselves when they go to someone’s home. Teach teenage boys to open the door of a car, or any door that matter, for any girl, whether they are their girlfriends or not. This includes holding elevator doors or letting women step out of the elevator first.

Just that teenage boys who practice good manners’ and courtesy grow up to become men who respect people in general.

8.A. answer B. devotion C. apology D. affection

9.A. strangely B. nervously C. calmly D. properly

11.A. confused B. encouraged C. moved D. pleased

Do you suffer from cybersickness？

The rise of mobile phones has been blamed for a number of social ills, but your smart phone may also be making you physically sick as well. Scientists have identified a condition called “cybersickness”, which they say is the digital version of motion sickness. The phenomenon, which affects up to 80 percent of the population who own smart phones or tablets, leads to feelings of sickness and unsteadiness. It is caused by seeing fast motion on a screen, which covers anything from a car chase in a film to scrolling through web pages on your phone.

The more realistic the visual content appears to you, the higher your chances of getting cybersickness are . The condition was identified in a piece in the New York Times in which British and US experts said that it needed solving. Motion sickness leaves sufferers feeling ill because they feel movement in your muscles and your inner ear but do not see it. The mismatch in digital sickness is the opposite—you see movement on the screen but do not feel it. The effect is the same and the symptoms include a headache, wanting to throw up, confusion and the need to sit down. Often cybersickness shows itself in a subtle way and sufferers put it down to stress or eyestrain.

Steven Rauch, a professor of otolaryngology（耳鼻喉科學） at Harvard Medical School, said: “Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs. When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and sickness. ”

Some studies that have been carried out into cybersickness found that women are more susceptible than men, the New York Times reported. Those who have Type A’ personalities—meaning they are confident and determined—are more likely to suffer from cybersickness as well. Among those who have reported experiencing the condition have been video gamers who spend hours playing fast paced games. Engineers at Oculus VR, the virtual headset manufacturer, have admitted that digital motion sickness is one of their biggest problems.

1.From the text, we know that cybersickness ______.

A. is completely equal to motion sickness

B. affects up to 80% of the population.

C. leads to people’s feelings of sickness and unsteadiness

D. is caused by seeing fast moving objects around

2.What’s the difference between motion sickness and digital sickness?

A. Digital sickness means sufferers see movement but do not feel it.

B. Digital sickness means sufferers feel movement but do not see it.

C. Motion sickness means sufferers see movement but do not feel it.

D. Motion sickness means sufferers don’t see or feel movement

3.What does the underlined word “susceptible” in the last paragraph mean?

A. likely to accept B. likely to be affected

C. likely to suspect D. likely to be cured

4.This passage is most probably ____________.

A. a science fiction B. a newspaper ad

C. a book review D. a science news report
