Dear Seth,

You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But I’ve been thinking a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, about my life so far as I reflect on what I’ve learned, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the trials that you will face in the coming years. As with my advice, take it with a grain of salt. What works for me might not work for you. But someday when you’re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.

【1】 _____________________________

You are young, and life has yet to take its toll on you, to throw disappointments and heartaches and loneliness and struggles and pain into your path. You have not been worn down yet by longs hours of thankless work, by the slings and arrows of everyday life. For this, be thankful. You are at a wonderful stage of life. You have many wonderful stages of life still to come even if they are not without their costs and great dangers．

【2】 _____________________________

There will be people in your life who won’t be very nice because you’re different, or for no good reason. There’s not much you can do except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you, actually care about you, and make you feel good about yourself. There will be times when you are met with disappointment rather than success. Life won’t always turn out the way you want. But instead of letting these things get you down, push on. Learn to turn negatives into positives. You’ll also face heartbreak and abandonment by those you love. I hope you don’t have to face this too much, but it happens. Let these pains become stepping stones to better things in life and learn to use them to make you stronger．

【3】 _____________________________

Yes, you’ll find suffering in your journey through life, but don’t let that close you to new things or wall yourself off. Be open to new things, experiences and people. You might get your heart broken ten times but find the most wonderful woman the 11th time. You might get teased and hurt by people you meet. If you close yourself off to new people, who will be there during the toughest times of your life and create some of the best times of your life. You will fail many times but if you allow that to stop you from trying, you will miss out on the amazing feeling of success once you reach new heights with your accomplishments.

【4】_____________________________

You will meet many people who will try to outdo you in school, in college, at work. They’ll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, cooler gadgets. To them, life is a competition — they have to do better than their peers to be happy. Here’s a secret: Life isn’t a competition. It’s a journey. If you spend that journey always trying to impress other, to outdo others, you’re wasting it. Instead, learn to enjoy the journey. Make it a journey of happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love. Find your passion, and pursue it doggedly. Life is too short to settle for a job that pays the bills．

【5】 _____________________________

If there’s a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: Love. It, I know, might sound corny, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life. Some would live by the rule of success. Their lives will be stressful, unhappy and shallow. Others would live by the rule of selfishness. They will live lonely and unhappy lives. Live your life by the rule of love. Love your spouse, children, parents, friends, with all of your heart. Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbours, coworkers, strangers, even your enemy. And most of all, love yourself. While others criticize you, learn not to be so hard on yourself, to think that you’re ugly or dumb or unworthy of love. Instead, learn to love yourself for who you are．

Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are starting out on a weird, scary, daunting, but ultimately incredibly wonderful journey. And I will be there for you when I can．

Love,

Your Dad

【题目】A T-shirt a day has kept unemployment away for an American man who is making about ＄ 85,000 a year by selling advertising space on his shirt.

Jason Sadler,26,was once a former marketing expert from Florida. In 2008, he founded his own company, “I wear your shirt”,with the idea to wear a T-shirt supplied by any company and then use social media tools to develop the company.

He also sells monthly sponsorships (赞助) for ＄1,500,adding another ＄18,000 to his income.

“I walk around, take photos, wear the shirt all day... I blog about those photos. I put them up on Twitter. I change my Facebook introduction... and then I do a Youtube video. I made about ＄83,000 this year,” Reuters Television. The average U. S. income is about ＄615 a week or about ＄ 32,000 a year,according to the U. S. government.

【题目】Qixi Festival, the Chinese equivalent of Valentine’s Day that fell yesterday, was not only a disappointment for forgotten lovers, but also for businessmen left with empty pockets．

The cold reception has prompted cultural experts to seriously worry that the lovers’ festival, marked for generations since the Han Dynasty（206 BC-AD 220），is dying out． Some have even called for legislation to make the festival a legal ―Chinese Lovers’ Day, which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar year．

But the effectiveness of such a measure is in doubt, although efforts to preserve traditional festivals deserve highly praise．

A growing number of traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn

Festival, share the same fate of the Qixi Festival．

Young people are showing less interest in traditional culture as symbolized by these festivals．Even if all traditional festivals are finally made legal, the risk of them becoming purely formalized celebrations with little meaning is not removed．If the younger generation fails to identify with the cultural significance of these holidays, there is little that can be done．

While complaining about traditional festivals’ fading appeal, decision-makers should reflect on cultural protection. Undeniably, our country has done a bad job of preserving culture and traditional festivals, compared to neighbouring Japan and the Republic of Korea（ROK）．

The 2,500-year-old Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. The traditional customs and ceremonies of the occasion, which originated in China, have been better preserved in the ROK．

Only a few years ago did China begin to realize the significance of preserving intangible（无形的）cultural heritage when the ROK planned to apply to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization to list its version of the Dragon Boat Festival as an important example of intangible culture．

Concern about the traditional holidays also reminds people of the growing influence of foreign cultures as the country opens wider to the outside world. With traditional festivals becoming less important and imports such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day gaining widespread popularity, the public including cultural professionals have tended to measure traditional Chinese festivals in economic terms．

Business rather than culture has begun to play a dominant role. More and more people are preoccupied with how much money can be made during the holidays．

In fact what makes traditional festivals unique and what keeps them alive is their cultural elements. After all, it is unique culture that contributes to the world’s diversity with globalization．

【1】What makes Chinese cultural experts worry that the lovers’ festival is dying out?

A． The disappointment for both businessmen and lovers．

B． The cold reacting of the public to Qixi Festival．

C． The failure to make traditional Chinese festivals legal．

D． The action to preserve culture and traditional festivals．

【2】 The public look at the effectiveness of the legalization of the Qixi Festival with a(n） _______ attitude．

A． indifferent B． positive C． doubtful D． hopeful

【3】 From Paragraph 5 we can learn that _______．

A． traditional festivals are thought more highly of by the young people
