Tips to find out exactly what you want in life
Be selfish.You can't find exactly what you want in life if you're constantly sacrificing your time and dreams for other people.__27__ Ask yourself:If you weren't tied down by your job, family, friends, or anything else, then what would you be doing right now? Always remember that it's okay to put yourself first, because if you don't, then no one else will.
Regret nothing.Don't feel bad for being selfish.It's your life.It's time for you to live it exactly the way you want to.If you constantly regret things you did or didn't do in the past, then you won't be able to move forward.__28__ Live in the present and the future!
Figure out what you need.Sometimes it's hard to figure out what you need.__29__ Is it your family? The freedom to express yourself? Love? Financial security? Something else? If it helps, you can make a list of priorities.Also think about the kind of legacy you want to leave behind.
__30__ There's no waste to life if you're happy living it.Your happiness is the root of your desires.So take a few moments and really think about what makes you happy.Is it traveling? Being around children? Owning a successful business? Your significant other? Financial freedom? Once you pinpoint the one thing that makes you happy the most, you'll have a pretty clear idea of what you should strive for in your life.
__31__ Life doesn't always go how you want it.Don't feel dismay as your plans stray.Take control.Instead of breaking out, try your best to roll with the changes.You will get there someday.You're just taking a little detour.Sometimes a positive attitude is all you need to keep going.

China has held a lavish parade in Beijing to mark the defeat of Japan in World War Two,showcasing its military might on an unprecedented scale.
President Xi Jinping in his opening speech paid tribute to “the Chinese people who unwaveringly fought hard and defeated aggression” from Japan.
He also said the People's Liberation Army (PLA) would be cut by 300,000 personnel,a move expected to be finished by 2017.
China's growing military power is being keenly watched amid regional tensions.
China has several territorial disputes with neighbours in the South China Sea,as well as with Japan in the East China Sea.
Ahead of the parade,the US said five Chinese ships had been spotted in the Bering Sea off Alaska for the first time.
China's People's Liberation Army is the world's largest military,with 2.3 million members.China also has the second biggest defence budget after the US.
More than 30 foreign government officials and heads of state including Russia's President Vladimir Putin and UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon attended the event.
But many Western leaders and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe have stayed away.
Some 12,000 troops and 200 aircraft,as well as tanks and missiles,were on display in Tiananmen Square,including the anti-ship “carrier killer” missile Dongfeng-21D.
Most of the war machinery on display was being shown to the general public for the first time,according to state media.
Mr Xi,also the commander of the armed forces,was centre stage at the parade's proceedings.
Despite the repeated assurances from China that the message of today was one of peace,the crowd seemed to see a different symbolism in the V-shaped lines of jets and bombers.
“We have the ability to announce to the world that we are a big country,we are a great country,” one onlooker told me.“It is the proper time to show the world that we are strong now,” a young woman agreed.
China believes that its suffering and sacrifice during World War Two have been largely forgotten.

Flamenco(弗拉门科舞) is a typical dance and music in the south of Spain.It was brought to Spain by gypsy(吉卜赛) people coming from Eastern Europe in the 15th century.
The three things needed to do flamenco are a good singer, a Spanish guitar, and a good dancer.Normally, the scene of a flamenco show is a plank floor, and it can be in any theater or bar.But for something different in Granada, you can see Flamenco in typical caves where families of gypsy people lived in ancient times.
Flamenco is divided into two groups, the group of singers and the group of dancers.The group of singers is normally formed of men who sing and play the Spanish guitar.The men usually wear black suits, and the bottoms of their shoes are metal.
The group of dancers is usually formed of women.The most beautiful thing in this part is how fast they can move their feet and the sound you can listen to.The sound of the shoes has the same rhythm as the music.I would like to describe a night in Granada when we decided to go to see a Flamenco show.As I said, in Granada the scene is a cave, and that makes you feel different.The sound of the music with the sounds from the bottoms of the dancers' shoes made me feel happy.The people watching were trying to clap to the rhythm of the music, but it's impossible to do it because this art is just for professional people.
We saw the joy of the gypsy people.They were happy and charming and they transmitted(传达) this to us with their music.Flamenco is definitely a great art!
【语篇解读】 西班牙南部的弗拉门科舞是在15世纪由吉卜赛人带到西班牙的。这种舞蹈有自己的鲜明特点。
25.We know from the passage that Flamenco ________.
A.has been popular in Spain for 15 centuries
B.was invented by gypsy people
C.came from some countries of Europe
D.was from the countryside of Spain
答案 C [细节理解题。本题可用排除法来做。根据第一段内容可以排除A、B、D三个选项,同时,第一段内容中的coming from Eastern Europe可知C为正确选项。]
26.What do we know about Flamenco's players?
A.Some singers are men and others are women.
B.Men play the Spanish guitar while singing.
C.Dancers are partly made up of women.
D.What singers wear is nothing unusual except black suits.
答案 B [细节理解题。根据第三段中的The group of singers is normally formed of men who sing and play the Spanish guitar可知B为正确答案。]
27.What makes the writer feel unusual is that ________.
A.the performance he saw was played in a cave
B.women had to move their feet as fast as the rhythm of the music
C.other people joined singers and dancers to play together
D.the people watching couldn't clap to the rhythm of the music
答案 A [细节判断题。根据第二段中的Normally, the scene of a flamenco show is a plank floor, and it can be in any theater or bar.可知,弗拉门科舞一般在剧院或酒吧表演,因为作者是在山洞里看到的演出,因此感到很新鲜。]
28.From the passage we may infer ________.
A.both the gypsy people and the Spanish are fond of singing and dancing
B.it is the Spanish people who made Flamenco more popular
C.Flamenco is not popular with gypsy people now
D.Flamenco must have been transmitted throughout the world
答案 A [推理判断题。第一句说明弗拉门科舞在西班牙是典型的歌舞,文章最后说明吉卜赛人用这种歌舞表达幸福,从此可以推断西班牙人和吉卜赛人的共性是能歌善舞。]
.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Reasons why you can't be successful
__29__ While you're sitting around failing to try, I am out there trying to fail, challenging myself, learning new things and failing as fast as possible.When
I fail, I learn, and then adjust my course to make sure my path is always forward.
Because you care what others think about you.While you're out spending your money on new clothes, new cars, overpriced meals or nights at the bar, I'll be investing in myself.And while you try to fit in with the world I'll make the world fit in with me.__30__ I will become immune to the impact of your opinion and stand naked in a crowd of ideas.
Because you think you are smarter than others.__31__ Because while you were away at college, I was studying life.Instead of learning about the world in a classroom I went out and learned it by living.I know more than any piece of paper you could ever frame from a university.Smart is not what you learn, it's how you live.
__32__ You only read the things you are required to read or nothing at all.You think history is boring and philosophy is stupid.You would rather sit and watch TV instead of exploring something new, instead of diving head first, into the brain of another man in an attempt to better understand the world around you.
Because you don't ask enough questions.__33__ You should understand the power of properly placed questioning in life, respectful disagreements and standing up for what you know to be right in the face of someone telling you otherwise.
A.Because you don't read.
B.Because you have not failed enough.
C.Asking questions helps you learn more.
D.In fact you are not cleverer than anyone.
E.Because you are not curious about things around you.
F.You would know that the only thing holding you back is you.
G.I will ignore others' thoughts on me and expose my true self to the world.
答案
29.B [本段内容都是说明失败对一个人的成功的作用的。分析所有选项可知,选项B(因为你失败的还不够)符合本段内容,可做本段标题。]
30.G [本段标题为Because you care what others think about you.(你在乎别人对你的看法。)选项G意为“我将忽略别人对我的评论并且将真实的自己展现给这个世界”,符合标题内容。]
31.D [本段标题意为“因为你认为自己比别人聪明”,选项D意为“事实上你不比任何人聪明”,与标题内容相符。]
32.A [本段内容都是说明读书对成功的重要性的,故选项A(因为你不读书)可做本段标题。]
33.C [本段标题为“因为你不问问题”,选项C中的关键词Asking questions提示了该选项与标题内容一致。]
