【题目】 Let's face it: The last hour of anyone's workday is not always fruitful. As the hours of peak productivity start to decline, most people begin watching the clock, waiting for nothing.【1】“How positively you end your professional day can promote success both inside and outside of the office,” says Randi Levin, a transitional life strategist. Let's see how successful people end their workday with a bang.
Successful people reflect on their accomplishments. While many of us spend our last hour of work making a to-do list for tomorrow, they review the day they just had, instead.【2】Similarly, Levin recommends writing down the day's wins rather than setbacks or to-dos, as well as reviewing your list of successes once a month. It will prove your professional growth and bring more joy into your job.
Also, successful people brainstorm solutions for today's setbacks.【3】Instead, they end their day by thinking carefully about the problems they met, brainstorming possible solutions, and then leaving it for tomorrow. They will settle those problems after a good night's sleep.
【4】Rather than detailing the tasks that need to get done, this kind of list encourages people to focus on finding solutions for their projects. “Forget the horrible 'to-do' list,” Levin says, “before heading to happy hour, write down three to five goals you have for the next 24 hours.【5】It will provide you with not only a concrete and positive way to begin tomorrow, but also it will allow you to see much more possibilities.”
A.This list is a promise to yourself.
B.Successful people make a to-do list.
C.It will make people understand the problems better.
D.They never bring the day's failures home with them.
E.Another work these people do is to create an action list.
F.But ending the workday with purpose can make a difference.
G.They typically choose a case and consider what led to that success.

【题目】阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
When a special occasion arrives, a colorful gift bag or a box often finds its way to a doorstep, an office desk or a mailbox. But once in a while, a present arrives at an unexpected moment to remind us that someone is thinking about us.
Wanda Anderson of Richland, US, remembers such a gift.
The rosebushes were finally in full bloom on that day in spring.
Seeing roses always brings to mind Wanda’s childhood memories. To this young girl, those flowers were extra special. “We never had money to buy extra things, so even a tired rose was something to cherish,” Wanda said.
Nowadays, to have a garden filled with many different roses is pure enjoyment. Wanda especially loves the very first blooms.
Her husband, Dale, devotedly takes care of the roses and knows this little fact about his wife. So, on this special morning, he picked the very first flowers of spring, fresh from the garden. But as Dale came back into the house, he was met by a neighbor who had stopped in for a quick visit. As the woman turned to go, Dale handed the roses to her. And even though their visitor insisted she didn’t want to take them, she was repeatedly told that the flowers were hers to keep.
“I told her I was happy for her to have the roses, but I really wasn’t,” Wanda said, remembering the emotions she was feeling right then.
Seeing her very precious first blooms go out the door filled her with regret, and a bit of selfishness.
Throughout the rest of the morning, Wanda argued with herself, knowing it was “better to give than to receive.” Nevertheless, she wished she could have kept the roses for herself.
Later that day, the couple headed to the post office, where Wanda waited outside in the car. Then, without warning, an older woman suddenly appeared at the car’s open window, with a bunch of roses in her arms.
“These are for you,” she said, giving the flowers to Wanda. “They’re my first blooms this spring.”
Totally surprised, Wanda thanked the woman and took a moment to smell the roses’ rich fragrance. When she looked up, the mysterious visitor was gone.
To this day, that “special delivery” changed Wanda. Now, her very first blooms always go to someone else, as a reminder that someone is thinking of them.
【1】Why does Wanda love roses so much? (no more than 15 words)
【2】What does the underlined word “devotedly” mean in Paragraph 6? (no more than 5 words)
【3】How did Wanda feel after the neighbor left? (no more than 10 words)
【4】What changed Wanda’s opinion of giving gifts? (no more than 10 words)
【5】What’s your opinion about the saying “It was better to give than to receive”? Please explain. (no more than 25 words)

【题目】 Bill Gates’ body might live in the present, but his brain lives in the future. He has made a career out of predicting what will happen in matters of computing, public health and the environment. He correctly predicted the rise of smartphones and social media, and his latest predictions could come true, too. Here’s what Gates predicts for the future of our world.
In his Annual Letter 2015, Gates made the prediction that Africa’s agriculture industry would increase productivity by 50% by 2030. Now the continent buys about $50 billion worth of food from other countries each year, although 70% of people in Africa are farmers. “In the next 15 years,however,creations in farming will solve the food problem in Africa,” Gates wrote. “The world has already developed crops that are more productive; with all the technologies, African farmers could possibly double their harvests.”
By 2035, there could be almost no poor countries. In his Annual Letter 2014, Gates bravely predicted that continued levels of foreign help could mean there would be almost no more poor countries by 2035. “Almost all countries will be what we now call lower-middle income or richer,” Gates explained. “Countries will learn from their most productive neighbors and benefit from things like better seeds and the digital revolution. ”
By 2030, the world will discover a clean-energy breakthrough to power our world. One of Gate’s more hopeful predictions which came in 2016 said that wind, solar, or some other renewable resources would power most of the world within 15 years. “The difficulty we face is big, perhaps bigger than many people imagine,” he wrote in his letter. “But so is the chance to make things better.” Many of the poor countries he visited had no running water or electricity. At night this meant they couldn’t light or power their homes, and keep businesses open.” If the world can find a type of cheap, clean energy, it will do more than prevent climate change,” he wrote. “It will change the lives of millions of the poorest families.”
【1】What does the author think of Gates’ predictions?
A.They sound quite unreal.B.They are mainly about computers.
C.They will probably come true.D.They haven’t produced any end result.
【2】How is the agriculture in Africa?
A.It is losing its workforce.B.It is in need of productivity.
C.It can satisfy the local needs.D.It is as backward as Africa’s industry.
【3】What should poor countries do according to Gates?
A.Use expensive seeds.B.Expect less foreign help.
C.Rely on the digital revolution.D.Learn from the experience of other countries.
【4】What’s Gates’ attitude to clean-energy development?
A.It’s no easy task.B.It’s hard to imagine.
C.It can put climate change to an end.D.It has little to do with poor families.
