For me, two of the loveliest words in English are “Life persists”.
I _______ them years ago as a college student, sitting in the library, _______, working on a paper. Out of nowhere, those words came _______ off the page in a quote: “In the midst of death life persists, in the midst of _______ truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.”
Suddenly I wasn’t unhappy and impatient any more. Then I _______ my granddad. I loved to talk with him. And I was _______ to hear what he’d think of it. He had poor hearing, so I had to _______ it a few times, but once he _______ it, he laughed. “All I can say to that is totally _______,”he said on the phone. I told him how glad I was, after a long winter, to finally see spring and ________ to find that quote. “Why is that?” he asked. "Well, spring is a sure ________ that life persists. And it just makes me ________.”
He laughed again, and then in his ________ voice, he recited for me his ________“spring time” words: “The desert shall rejoice(高兴), and ________ as the rose does…Even with joy and singing.”
Many years later, ________ my husband and I drove across a desert with many wildflowers and blooming cactuses(仙人掌), I could ________ hear my granddad laughing: “The desert shall rejoice."
Life persists, and so do we, in the silence of ________ and the blooming of cactuses; and in the dead of ________ and the green of spring. Spring ________ us that we’re alive forever.

Dear Peter,
How times flies! It had been almost a year since you left China to Sweden. During your home stay at my home, we had such wonderful time that it seemed as if everything had been happened yesterday. I have been long to hear all about you and missing you so much. Fortunate, I was selected as one of the student representative to pay a visit to your school. The visit will last on July 7th to 20th. And as a super soccer fan, I’d really love to visit our local soccer club.

We’d arrived at Rockefeller Center station on the D train. As in many of New York’s underground stations, trains pull in at both sides of the platform. Or rather, they seem to erupt into the station first on one side, then on the other.
Abruptly, my wife stopped.
“Uh, what’s this?” she said.
I looked over her shoulder. There at our feet lay a young woman of about 20. She was on her stomach with the top half of her body on the platform, while her legs hung over the tracks kicking powerlessly.
She was stuck. She had also, clearly, been down on the tracks and discovered that climbing back up is really hard.
But unlike in our imaginings, this woman was not in panic, expecting her approaching death by the F train which would be screaming into the station in the next few minutes, if not seconds.
She was laughing! So was her friend who half-heartedly leant down to assist. The assistance was somewhat weakened by the fact that the friend was holding her smartphone. Was she hoping to capture this moment with a picture? Or composing a text?
It’s well known that people’s compulsive checking of their phones can be deadly. Among young people in America, texting is now the number one cause of car crashes. Maybe it’s also a leading cause of leaving friends to die when they fall in the river or on to the train tracks.
I stepped forward, leant out as far as I could, got hold of her leg somewhere near the knee and, together with her finally-engaged friend, dragged the young woman on to the platform.
And you can guess why she'd been on the tracks. Still laughing, but maybe chastened (内疚)by my look of horror she said, “Thanks. Sorry. My phone fell down there. ”
While I turned to hold my daughter’s hand and head upstairs, the young woman and her friend walked away. I wonder when she'll be scared.
1.What was the young woman doing on the edge of the platform?
A. Trying to get down on to the train tracks to pick up her phone.
B. Trying to get back on to the platform after jumping down.
C. Desperately waiting for someone to help her get back her phone.
D. Posing for her friend to capture a good picture with her smartphone.
2.Which of the following did the author think was NOT a cause of the young woman’s dangerous situation?
A. The station was too crowded.
B. She did not realize the danger.
C. She cared too much about her phone.
D. Her company didn't assist her whole-heartedly.
3.What was the author’s worry about people like this young woman?
A. They would cause damage to the underground system.
B. They knew too little about how to help others as well as themselves.
C. It would be too late when they understood how dangerous the situation is.
D. They would send misleading information to the public with their smartphones.

How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
1.. Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive(主动的) approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 2.
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 3.Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 4. Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
5. Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A.To fight family laziness, set an example.
B.One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
C.Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
D.Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
F. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.
G. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
