【题目】Six things we’ll regret in 10 years

Time slips away in life, and behind all those things we are busying doing all day long, we often miss the most important things. 【1】. In the following passage there are 6 things we are likely to regret in the future, as well as pieces of advice on how to avoid it.

Spent little time with family

In the cycle of work and home duties, many of us pay very little attention to our families. Unfortunately, we often understand this when some of them are not there around us.

【2】

We ruin our health when we give in to junk food and bad habits. Even our health seems to be ok now; after a while we will most likely feel the consequences of such an irresponsible attitude to our body.

Spent little time traveling

【3】. But we are always afraid of discomfort, we are afraid of being in strange places, and we always have more urgent things to do.

Worked too much

Most people do so because they want to earn more or they desire a higher position. However, it’s clear that work is important, but to relax from time to time is of importance too.

Stopped learning new things

Maybe you Mom always says this to you, “Learn a foreign language. You will need it in the future.” You may think you want to be an engineer, so a foreign language seems useless.【4】.

Had a job you hate

We often continue to work in a place we hate, only because we are unwilling to leave the comfort comfort zone.【5】, we can simply fade away in a job we are not interested in.

So when the sun is warm,

when the breeze is gentle,

when the flowers are flourishing,

when you are young,

live the way you like, enjoy the time you are studying or working, and try to be the best of you!

A. Few of us don’t dream about traveling

B. However, constant learning brings not only more opportunities for professional growth but also an increase in self-confidence, making you an interesting person to others

C. Yet if we don’t change the situation

D. It may take years to understand this.

E. Led an unhealthy life

F. The desire to travel with comfort stop people from doing this very often

G. True, it’s good if you know even one foreign language

本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了10年后我们会后悔的六件事以及一些如何避免后悔的建议。

【1】上文提示“在生活中，时间在流逝，在那些我们整天忙于做的事情的背后，我们经常错过最重要的事情。”承接上文，D项 It may take years to understand this.（要理解这一点可能需要很多年。）切题。故选D。

【2】此空是一个小标题，分析上下文的小标题结构，可知B项符合题意。再根据本段第一句We ruin our health when we give in to junk food and bad habits.（当我们屈服于垃圾食品和坏习惯时，我们破坏了我们的健康。）由此可知，E项 Led an unhealthy life（过着不健康的生活）切题。故选E。

【3】下文提示“但我们总是害怕不适，我们害怕在陌生的地方，我们总是有更紧急的事情要做。”承接下文，A项Few of us don’t dream about traveling（我们中很少有人不梦想旅行）切题。此处but表示前后是转折关系，故选A。

【4】上文提示“你可能认为自己想成为一名工程师，所以外语似乎毫无用处。”承接上文，B项However, constant learning brings not only more opportunities for professional growth but also an increase in self-confidence, making you an interesting person to others（然而，不断的学习不仅带来了更多的职业发展的机会，也增加了自信，使你成为一个对别人有趣的人。）切题。However,的运用使前后形成转折关系。故选B。

【5】根据空格后半句“我们可以在一份自己不感兴趣的工作中慢慢消失。”承接下半句“C. Yet if we don’t change the situation”（ 但如果我们不改变现状）切题。故选C。
