On September 11, 2001, a group of terrorists destroyed these twin towers and killed nearly 3,000 people. It took 8 years to build the new One World Trade Center. Does the height of the building in feet reminds you of something in history? The number is the year when the United States declared(宣布) its independence(独立) from Great Britain.

Having a clean and organized workspace takes time and effort—especially if we want to keep it that way. ___【1】___ According to recent statistics, the average office employee spends one and a half hours a day looking for things. That's an hour and a half that is wasted every day because of disorganization. Keeping things organized can give you more time each day. Having a clean workspace can have a number of additional surprising benefits. Let's look at some of those now.

Make a Better Impression
In addition to making it easier to focus and work, having a clean workspace also helps to convey a professional image. Your workspace says more about you than you may think. When someone walks past your space, they instantly form an opinion about you based on what your space looks like. __【4】_ However, to the outsider, you may look overwhelmed and incapable of taking on extra projects.
Have a Happier Work Experience

Questions you should ask yourself when you fail
The more new things we try the more failure we are likely to have. 【1】 . Experiencing failure can be a learning experience and an opportunity for a fresh start. A good way to begin this process is by asking yourself some tough questions.
1. What can I learn from this?
Take responsibility for what went wrong. OK, so it was not all your fault—but some of it was. Successful people don’t make excuses or blame others. 【2】 So you should look at the experience objectively(客观地).
2. Do I need to acquire or improve some skills?
Did the problem reveal some lack of skill on your part? How could you learn or improve those skills? Perhaps there are books or courses or people you could turn to. 【3】 __
3. Who can I learn from?
Is there someone to whom you can turn for advice? Did a boss, colleague or friend see what happened? 【4】 . Most people do not ask for help because they believe it to be a sign of weakness rather than strength. It’s not. It shows that you are ready to learn and change.
4. What will I do next?
Now draw up an action plan. Will you try something similar or something different? Revisit your goals. Failure doesn’t mean you have to give up; maybe you just need to change it in another way. 【5】___
A. You can now reset your sights on your destination and plan a new course.
B. Make them step stones to future success.
C. They take responsibility for the failure.
D. In fact the only way to avoid failure is to do nothing new.
E. The important thing is how we deal with failure.
F. Make a self-development plan to acquire the skills and experience you need.
G. If they are constructive and supportive then ask them for some feedback (反馈) and guidance.

【题目】 阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Net Library is a library that lends out digital books. It treats a digital book like a paperback copy. It charges libraries per book per copy and gives publishers a cut of the total income.
From the consumer’s point of view, this means that if more than five people want the latest Danielle Steel romance novel, other people who request that book will get a message saying the title is unable to get.
Many publishers seem to have embraced its model. More than 350 publishers gave the company rights to hand out their digital works, and McGraw-Hill Corporation and Houghton Mifflin Corporation have put money into the company. The California public libraries and about 1,800 others across the US are trying out the Net Library service.
Some librarians criticize the Net Library model. Stanford University librarian Michael Keller argues that the company is creating an unnatural fear of digital works, which is contrary to the ideas of the Internet.
Keller and some other librarians argue for the e-book vision set forth by Brary. Brary is starting a service that lets us users read books for free.
But it will charge about 25 cents a page when a person tries to point out material or copy and taste it into a different file or tries to download a copy onto a computer.
Christopher Warnock, chief executive of Brary, believes most consumers won’t want to buy entire books, only the parts that interest them.
“There is not really a lot of good owning an electronic file and having to store it and manage it. It doesn’t make sense,” he said.
【1】How do publishers get money from the Net Library?
A.They get money from selling their books to the Net Library
B.They get money from the readers.
C.They get money by cutting the cost of the books.
D.They share the money with Net Library.
【2】The underlined word “embraced” in the third paragraph means
A. tried out something hard
B. held something tightly
C. disliked something badly
D. taken something willingly
【3】What does the last paragraph mean?
A. Net Library is not a good way for the consumers.
B. There is no need for consumers to have a whole book.
C. Brary is not a good library for the consumers.
D. It’s reasonable to charge the consumers money for copying some pages.
