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。

If you have a little child, who hates sitting in a car seat, then the FreedomRide is the answer to your problem.

Would you want to be stuck in an unchangeable position every time you’re in the car? No. You wouldn’t.

When an adult sits in a car for any length of time, we stretch, we change the position, we move our legs again and again. We do this without thinking. But kids in a traditional car seat can’t do this. They are stuck in one position, and they can’t move. We move because the circulation of blood needs to be recovered in our legs as we sit in the same position for any longer.

In a traditional car seat, the child can’t move to reduce the pain, so it puts them in anger.

The FreedomRide lets them have a little freedom, and still be safe. The 5-Point Harness(背带)gives them additional safety over a traditional child car seat.

I am the Webmaster for islandbreeze.com, and when JoeySafe asked us to redo their website, I was attracted by this system. That is because I have two small children, both girls, aged 3 and 4 and we obviously use car seats. I lived in Southern California, and every couple of months, my wife, the girls and I, go to see grandma who lives in Nevada. It’s a 5-hour drive, so the FreedomRide works well. Our trips are so much better now, especially since there is more room in the car without the car seats.

The FreedomRide really did make it easier to go on trips. The only thing you need when you use the JoeySafe instead of your old child car seat is a pillow. Besides, my kids want to take a pillow anyway! As a dad, I feel safe driving with the kids in the FreedomRide. I am a very safety-oriented person.

1.From the text we can infer the FreedomRide is a _______.

A. car seat B. car for children

C. safety belt D. game on islandbreeze.com

2.The FreedomRide is likely to be designed for________.

A. a person hating sitting in the car for long

B. an adult often driving a traditional car

C. a child requiring some freedom in the car

D. a driver needing comfortable seats

3.The purpose of the last two paragraphs may be to ________.

A. support the topic of the child car safety

B. describe the advantage of the FreedomRide

C. introduce the detail of the author’s work and web.

D. describe what the author does with his child car seat

4.The next part following the last paragraph may mention________.

A. the way of ordering

B. the way of communicating

C. the inventor of this product

D. the advantage of the product

Failing in something isn’t a really nice feeling, but Scotland’s Fettes College in Edinburgh wants to show its students that failure isn’t something to fear and is actually something to accept willingly!

The boarding school held “failure week” to celebrate taking risks and learning from them. Whether in sports or school, children often face lots of pressure to succeed and do well, and the school was becoming concerned.

“Young people from all walks of life live in a high-pressure environment where they are trying very hard to achieve a level of perfection,” said Sue Bruce, head of personal and social education in the school.

“This week at Fettes we have been focusing on one of the most misunderstood parts of success: failure. While we are often scared of failure, it is important to learn that it is only through failing, often many times, that we learn how to succeed. All through the week, we have looked at the experiences of some of the most successful inventors, artists and businessmen, who failed hundreds, if not thousands of times on their journey to success,” read a letter on Fettes College’s website.

To celebrate failure, students were encouraged to try something they’ve never done before, like playing an instrument or dancing in front of audiences. A number of students stepped up and tried things that they finally failed in, but they had fun and enjoyed the experience. “The concert was extremely enjoyable, proving that we should always try not to worry about failure and have a go!” read another note on the website. Students were also taught about famous people like J.K. Rowling and Richard Branson who failed many times before they finished what they set out to do.

“If they let the fear of failure stop them from doing something, they are actually stopping themselves from learning, developing, and potentially succeeding,” said Bruce.

1.What is the purpose of the boarding school to hold “failure week”?

A. To get the students involved in social activities.

B. To help the students accept and learn from failure.

C. To make the students study even harder.

D. To teach the students how to get relaxed.

2.During the “failure week” the students could do the following things EXCEPT ___________.

A. taking risks

B. learning from others’ experiences

C. trying something new

D. trying to entertain themselves

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Many successful people are lucky and achieve success easily.

B. Because we are often scared of failure ,we never succeed.

C. The fear of failure can stop the students from learning and succeeding.

D. The students who failed in trying new things felt depressed.

I used to be the messiest person alive. Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them.

Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen. Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.

Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans.

You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn't work, you have way two and way three to lean back on. Therefore, different ways are needed at hand. It's just a matter of being organized. Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those waysdoesn't work,one of the others will.

Committing yourself to finishing at least part ifnot all of your plan at once is also necessary. It willshow that you not only have initiative to get thingsrolling, but that you are interested in the resultsobtained with making the move to get everythingdone.

If you make a commitment to finish before aspecific time, make sure that you carry that out, andbe sure to do everything in the way you said youwould, within the time-frame you set for yourself.

Don't try to tackle (处理) more things all at atime. All that does is delay your progress, distract youand make you lose your interest, motivation andenergy.

Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible. You will only achieve this bysticking to the order of the plan and not deviating ortrying to do more at a time.

Last but not the least, you should never abandon things mid-project. It will only annoy everyonearound you including yourself. Unfinished plans are awaste of time, energy and, in some cases,evenmoney.

So,don't be afraid of organization. The older weget,the more necessary it becomes to have the skills to follow through with confidence and to be able tocarry through plans in an organized and manageable way. It pays to be organized, after all.

Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment .“We didn’t know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it, ”says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.

But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.“The understanding has increased many, many times, ”says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.

Great improvement has been achieved .In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs , ; today in 1995 there are about 6, 600 .Advanced lights , motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .
