Every year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year. many others and I have followed his lead for the past three or four years. They helped me a lot. My words for last year were “passion”, “focus” and “delegate” and I stayed true to them. This year, 2013, my goals are more personal and less professional.
FOCUS
Focus is making a repeat appearance on my list this year because I’m too much of a multitasker. The problem is that I have trouble finishing one thing with so many things calling me. When I was working as a writer, all my projects were handled via a schedule, I’m putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into my schedule.
HEALTH
I get so busy taking care of everyone else, and I forget to take care of myself and this has to change. My health suffers and my weight suffers. I have to get my health in check , not only for me but because I promised my 9-year-old son. I’ll make good food and lifestyle choices. I miss being thin, and it’s time to get it back.
CELEBRATE
What good is having it if I’m not taking time to enjoy it? I have a wonderful job, a happy family, and so much to be thankful for. So how come I spend all my time working? Last summer my family took our first vacation in four years, the best thing I’ve done for myself and my family in a long time. This year, I’m making sure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings.

B
Scottish Secretary Jim Murphy is on a mission to recover £46 million of council cash. He has traveled to Iceland for high-level talks with Prime Minister Geir Haarde. Mr. Murphy has vowed to do “whatever it takes” to ensure the return to local authorities of the millions of pounds which are locked in crisis-hit Icelandic banks. He also wants to see the return of money deposited there by a number of Scottish charities.
Mr. Murphy said Scots councils and charities had invested in Icelandic banks in good faith before the country’s banking system was severely hit by the global financial crisis.
He said, “Our relationship with Iceland has traditionally been a very good one. But of course, there are pressures at the moment, particularly because of the international credit crisis and the collapse of the Icelandic banks.”
“There is money from Scottish councils and Scottish charities invested in some of those banks and I’m making efforts to persuade the Icelandic government that money should be returned.”
“We’ve made it very clearly, and we’ll do whatever it takes to support Scottish people to get their money out of the Icelandic banking crisis.”
The Scottish Secretary’s move has been welcomed by the Holyrood Parliament. The UK Government is currently trying to save £4 billion in deposits held by customers in the failed Icelandic bank Ice-save, at risk after its parent firm Landsbanki folded. The bank’s collapse caused a diplomatic argument after ministers froze assets of other Icelandic banks.
44. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Scots councils and charities had invested in Icelandic banks in bad faith.
B. The relationship with Iceland has traditionally been a very good one, so they don’t worry about it forever.
C. The UK Government and people can’t be satisfied with Iceland’s ministers’ measures.
D. The UK Government supports Scottish people to fight with the Iceland.
45. Jim Murphy will pay a visit to Iceland in order to ______.
A. strengthen their cooperation and promote economic progress between two countries
B. persuade the Icelandic Government to give back the money that are locked in
crisis-hit Icelandic bank
C. traveled to Iceland for high-level talks with Prime Minister Geir Haarde and wanted to break away from the crisis together
D. represent the government to help Iceland to recover economy
46. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Icelandic banking crisis B. Murphy’s Icelandic mission
C. The influence of the crisis D. A friendly visit

It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs unpacking,and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.
He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.’’ I thought it could be just about anything. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us. Today, however, Dad would say no more ,and caught up in the business of our new life ,I eventually forgot about his surprise.
Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window,I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花)throughout the front lawn 一 blue, yellow and my favorite pink ,with little faces moving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?
My father’s crocuses bloomed (开花)each spring for the next five seasons, always bringing the same assurance: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon.
Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms and the next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses ,so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did. He died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.
On a spring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual — my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass with small piles of melting snow ,bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.
How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years ago, one that hadn’t bloomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.
Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day, but it built my faith for a lifetime.

I’m 30 years old, and there are several things that life has taught me that I want to share with you.Here are the 4 lessons that life has taught me in the past 30 years.
1.Take Care of Your Body
Life is “unfairly” biased(偏向的) towards people who “look good,” like it or not.So it’s important that you do all that is in your power to look your best. 71 You will live longer, and you will live happier, if you take care of your body; you may even get promoted faster on your job.Remember that your health is really your greatest wealth.
2. 72
No one taught me to save when I was growing up; no one told me the importance of saving.Fortunately I was able to learn the value of saving through reading great books like “The Millionaire Next Door”.What I want to teach others is to save at least twenty percent of your income.If you are to be wealthy, you must not just earn a lot, you must save a lot.
3.Think long-term.
In high school I was thinking about college, in college I was thinking about life after college.I’m designing my life and I’m making decisions today that will enable me to live the life I desire when I’m in my 40’s, 50’s and 60’s.You have to think long-term; you have to see the “big picture.” 73
4.Realize the Power of Focus
Focus, focus, focus… 74 If you fail in this lifetime, you will fail because of broken focus.If you focus on the goals that are most important to you, you will achieve them.The problem is that there are so many distractions. 75 Winners decide to major on majors, and they even let important things slip, because they just focus on achieving what is critical to their goals.
A.The importance of saving. |
B.If you plan your future properly, you will live into your plans. |
C.Save Your Money. |
D.Nothing is more critical than focus. |
