       See in your mind’s eye where you really want to be in ten years’ time．Choose your own values, activities, and relationships rather than copying tubers．

       While working with troubled teens, I used to haste them do a Ten Years game in the Future exercise．I asked them to write a letter to a friend as if it was ten years in the future．Most of these boys and girls didn’t think about the next week, much less ten years to come．This lack of “foresight”was a major reason why their lives were pretty messed up．But the real story is what happened to me．I did the exercise right along with them on many occasions, writing my dreams in detail．In my letter to a friend, I had moved to the country, built my own home, authored a book, and started my own business．

       Over the next ten years, something magic happened．All my dreams became true, almost as if orchestrated (精心安排) by an unseen hand．I realized that something very powerful was happening, more powerful than expected．I did write books and start my business．We did move to the country and I did build my own home．

       This letter to a friend will become a magnetic factor in your life．Your vision will guide you in your yearly goals, your monthly goals, and your daily activities．

       You must write your letter as if it has already happened．For example:

       “Leslie, I just wanted to make contact again and tell you about my life．I started my own gardening business in 2012 and it’s really taken off．”

       “Dear Harold, I met the love of my life in 2016 and we moved to Hawaii where Frank works in a bookstore and I give surfing lessons everyday．We love it．”

       Remember, describe all the details as if they have already happened．This will help you make it more real for you．

       Sit down and write (or type) your Ten Years in the Future letter today．

“You will remember this night forever,” he told me. My friend was taking me dumpster(垃圾桶)diving for the first time. We both needed costumes for a party so he decided to show me around a few of the city’s finest waste baskets. After finding costume materials in the thrift store(旧货店)dumpsters, we stopped at a grocery store. There we found a dumpster half filled with potatoes and bread. We collected bags of potatoes to share with friends and to use for cooking with Food Not Bombs(a group that shares free vegetarian food and speaks against war and poverty). I was later told that using the dumpsters could earn me the title of an urban pirate(海盗)-what a great honour!   

My first dumpster dive opened new doors for me. I had struggled with spending money. Now I think it will prove difficult to buy anything after seeing what people throw away. Something about all those wasted resources is not right. It seems we are constantly buying more and more and throwing away perfectly usable items, while many cannot meet their basic needs.

People who have never done their shopping in a dumpster believe it is dirty, dangerous, and humiliating. In reality, a diver with an old pair of jeans, a flashlight and a little common sense (wear boots and gloves to guard against sharp objects)should not have any trouble staying safe and can feel good about being a resourceful and responsible consumer. Dumpstering is a good way to save money, labour, and lessen our environmental impact.

From that dumpster tour, I had a new opinion on garbage. I found I can do something in this wasteful society. By living simply and taking what little I need from others’ unwanted goods, I am able to begin to break the habits of wastefulness. The influence of that first urban pirate adventure created a continuing impact on my life.

72. What is the attitude of the author to the title of an urban pirate?

   A. Tolerant          B. Proud         C. Respectful        D. Humiliating

73. “My first dumpster dive opened new doors for me.” means          .

   A. it has led to a better life for me and made me wealthier

B. it has made me buy nothing later and break the habits of wastefulness

C. it has changed my views and attitudes to consumers and living

D. it has brought me good senses to be a responsible and a resourceful consumer

74. The main idea of the third paragraph is             .

   A. only the poor goes in for dumpstering

B. how to keep safe while dumpstering

C. the benefit and value of dumpstering   

D. how to save money and lessen environmental impace

75. In the writer’s opinion,          .

   A. there are many objects to be recycled in the dumpster

B. there are too many people looking down upon the divers

C. the little of an urban pirate is a prejudice

D. the influence of the first urban pirate adventure had an ill effect on his life

Alice was happy that her friend would be   49   to come and hurried home to ask her Mum   50   she could lend her friend one of her skirts. To her surprise, her Mum said, “No.” The daughter was very   51   and angrily said to her Mum, “  52   I could, I would give my friend all my clothes.” The Mother didn’t understand why her daughter should have had such an outburst as she’s normally very well   53  .
