“If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It was the quote that 1 me deeply when I was 17, and since then, for the past 34 years, I have looked 2 the mirror every morning and asked myself, “ If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “ 3 ”for too many days in a 4 , I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I’ll be 5 soon is the most important thing I’ve ever known to help me to make a 6 in life because almost everything falls off in the face of death, 7 only what is truly important.
About a year ago the doctor 8 my illness as cancer, he even advised me to go home and get my affairs in 9 . I lived with that diagnosis all day. 10 , at last an 11 test showed that it was a very rare cancer which was 12 with surgery. After the surgery I feel and look fine now.
Death is the destination we all 13 , no one has ever escaped it, though. And that is 14 it should be because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will 15 become the old and be 16 away.
Your time is 17 , so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be 18 by dogma (教条) , otherwise that means 19 with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner 20 . And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart.

Phil White has just returned from an 18,000mile, aroundtheworld bicycle trip. White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised
￡70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. White's second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.
White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2004 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than 1,300 hours in the saddle (车座) and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.
The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For 1,000 kilometres he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.

Somali pirates(海盗) robbed three Thai fishing ships with 77 sailors on board nearly l，200 Miles off the Somali coast，the farthest-off-shore attack to date，an officer said Tuesday.
Pirates have gone farther south and east in answer to increased patrols(巡逻)by warships off the Somali shore. The robbing of the three ships Sunday was about 600 miles outside the normal operation area for the international force，said a spokesman．
The spokesman said the attack so far out at sea was a clear sign that the international patrols against pirates were having a “marked effect on pirate activity in the area”．
“Once they start attacking that far out，you’re not even really talking about the Somali basin or areas of water that have any connection with Somalia,” said an officer，Roger Middleton．“Once you’re that far out，it's just the Indian Ocean，and it means you’re looking at trade going from the Gulf to Asia，from Asia to South Africa. ”
"This is the farthest robbing to date．They are now operating near the Maldives and India,” said another officer．
The three ships--the MV Prantalay 11，12，and l 4had 77 members on board in total．All of them are Thai, the spokesman said．Before the Sunday robbing，pirates held l l ships and 228 sailors．
Pirates have increased attacks over the past year in hopes。f catching more dollar payments. Because of increased patrols and defenses on board ships，the success rate(率)has gone down，though the number of successful attacks has stayed the same year over year.
53. The pirate attack reported in the text happened
．A．far out in the Indian Ocean
B．in the normal patrol area
C．near the Somali, coast
D．in the south of Africa
54．According to the text, which can best describe the situation of the pirate problems?
A．More goods on board are lost.
B．Pirate attacks happen in a larger area now.
C．The number of attacks has stayed the same these years.
D．Pirate attacks are as serious as before along the Somali coast.
55．Which is true about the warship patrols according to the text? A．The patrols are of little effect.
B．The patrols are more difficult.
C．More patrols are quite necessary even in Asia.
D．The patrols only drive the pirates to other areas.
56．How many sailors were held by the pirates up to the time of the report?
A．228.
B．77.
C．383.
D．305.
