　　Mars One,a group that plans to send humans on a one-way trip to Mars,has announced its final 100 candidates.We spoke to two of the British hopefuls.

　　Alison Rigby,35,from East London

　　For Rigby,a chemistry graduate,who currently works as a secondary school lab technician,it is a lifelong passion for space that led to her decision to apply.

　　“Generally the reaction has been pretty positive from my friends and family since I told them I was down to the final 100,but it’s going to be difficult for my mum.I haven’t told her yet,”she says.Rigby explains that when she first applied in 2017,her mum told her she didn’t want her to go.

　　“I am doing this for something better,which will hopefully benefit more people than just staying at home and keeping my mum happy.As for the risk,of course I am scared.It’s something that has never been done before.But we are all going to die,and it’s important what you do before you die,”she says.

　　Clare Weedon,27,from Kent,England

　　“I applied because I want to be able to say I made a difference to the future of mankind,”explains Weedon,a 27-year-old manager.

　　Weedon doesn’t have a background in science,but she is driven by the chance.Weedon’s brother also applied but was not selected for the final 100.“My brother is pretty envious,but the rest of my friends and family are proud and excited.”The only exception is Weedon’s boyfriend,who doesn’t want her to go.

　　Weedon thinks it was her teamworking skills that saw her through this far—in her current job she works as part of a group of four,the same size as the planned Mars One crew.But she’s not pretending a trip to Mars is going to be a walk in the park.“When I think about it seriously,I am shocked,”she says,“but that doesn’t put me off.It drives me forward.”

　　Ⅱ.七选五

　　THINK“ADDING VALUE”(and you’ll get more money)

　　Most people either “like” their job,“love” their job or “hate” their job.Everyone wants to make more money regardless of how they feel about their job.The secret to making more money is,focusing on adding value.Think less of what you can have or acquire.1. You don’t always have to do more though we always can do more.What you might consider is “doing differently”.Let me explain.

　　1.Do you choose to be happy at work?It’s a choice.And you can do it.It’s a lot of “mind over matter”.Mind what’s important and the rest doesn’t matter.2.　 When you choose to be happy,you will affect others in the workplace. 

　　2.3.　 Michael’s definition of a “drag” is,a person who “drastically reduces all good.”Of course,they have a bad attitude.If you’re this kind of person,you can change.Start being positive.Start by giving subtle and honest praise to co-workers.Just start looking for authentic reasons to give others some praise.It will set you apart from everyone else.People will recognize you as being more caring and more interested in them.Your influence will skyrocket especially if you’re in an environment where there is little praise and encouragement. 

　　3.Choose what you are going to think.Most people have given in to CNN,ABC,NBC,“the way things are”,society,drama,negativity and the like.It’s time to take back charge of your brain.Get your focus directed.Like Paul said in the Bible,“Think on these things.Things that are true,are of a good report,are honorable,are positive.”4.　 If you have nothing to read that is positive,send me your email address and I’ll send you a free copy of my “Powerful Attitudes” e-book.Read a little every morning.It will positively and powerfully affect the rest of your day. 

　　When you change yourself,you will add value in your workplace.Like the late great business philosopher,Jim Rohn said,“You can take out the garbage at McDonalds and earn minimum wage.But if you take out the garbage and whistle as you do it every day,you’re likely to earn 50 cents more per hour.”Add value to your workplace by controlling your own attitude.5. 

　　A.Start your day by reading something positive.

　　B.Think more of what you can do,produce or create.

　　C.Just be yourself and create a strong self image.

　　D.Are you a “drag”?

　　E.Your attitude and your happiness are important.

　　F.Fall in love with it.

　　G.You will advance faster and in time,make a lot more money.

　　答案与解析:

　　【语篇导读】赚钱的秘密在于增加价值。1.选择快乐地工作;2.要学会表扬和鼓励;3.选择你想要思考的事情。改变了自己,就会有进步,最后就会赚很多钱。

　　1.B　解析:考查对上下文语境的理解。空前一句的意思是:少想自己有或得到什么,空后一句的意思是:你不必做得更多,尽管我们总是可以做更多。所以这里选B项(多想想你能做什么,能创造什么。)与上下文一致。

　　2.E　解析:考查对上下文语境的理解。空前一句的意思是:看重重要的事,其他都无所谓。空后一句的意思是:当你选择快乐的时候,你会影响工作场所的其他人。所以这里选E项(你的态度和快乐很重要。)与上下文一致。

　　3.D　解析:考查对上下文语境的理解。空后面对“阻力”这样的人做了介绍,看事总是往坏处想。如果你是这样的人,应该改变自己的态度。要学会赞扬同事,鼓励他人。所以这里选D项(你是一个“阻力”吗?)与上下文一致。

　　4.A　解析:考查对上下文语境的理解。空前一句的意思是:选择你想要的东西。不受消极的东西的影响。空后一句的意思是:每天早晨读一些积极的书。它将积极而有力地影响你的一天。所以这里选A项(通过读积极的东西开始你的一天。)与上下文一致。

　　5.G　解析:考查对上下文语境的理解。空前一句的意思是:当你改变你自己时,你将在你的工作场所增加价值。通过控制你自己的态度增加您在工作场所的价值。最后是结论,所以这里选G项(你就会进步得更快,最后就会赚更多钱。)与上下文一致。

　　Ⅲ.书面表达

　　随着电脑的普及,越来越多的人选择网购。请分析人们选择网购的原因,并对网购时应注意的事项给予一些建议。

　　关键词语:

　　1.网上商品物美价廉;

　　2.网购可以随时随地进行;

　　3.由于产品可能与宝贝描述不一致,可以参考顾客评价;

　　4.可以在拍前咨询客服;

　　5.因为商品需要通过快递运输,要耐心等待。

　　参考范文:

　　It is acknowledged that Taobao is the first advanced e-trade platform,devoting itself to catering to the majority of ordinary Chinese people.The number of netizens using it is on the increase stably mainly because of its lower price and better quality.To our amazement,people have even been accustomed to shopping online.Another reason is that it is convenient for people to buy whatever they want.Thanks to the express companies,the distance is not a barrier for us to buy things thousands of kilometers away.

　　However,we should be cautious about placing an order,because the description does not always correspond with the real item itself.We can go through the comments customers gave first.Though we can’t see the real item,we can consult the customer service who can give you some advice.Once paying for it,we should have patience to wait for the item on the way.
