Here are a few of the things Ive learned to keep a balance between them. Dont be afraid to make mistakes. Some of my best achievements have been based on my mistakes. When you make a mistake, talk about it over coffee with your friends instead of sitting in the office beating yourself up over what had just happened. Let other people do their jobs. Im the kind of person who will often do someone elses work if it means getting it done better and more quickly. This can mean sacrificing (牺牲) my free time, however. Just let other people do their work youll be surprised at how well they do it. Put work aside when its done for the day. My biggest problem when it came to balancing my work and my life was the fact that I always brought my work home with me. Id wake up in the middle of the night to finish a report, or even leave the dinner table to take a business call. Now, when work is done for the day, I put it away and spare the rest of my day for myself and the people around me. Take notes, and live your life youll do much better when you can put your full heart into your work during working hours, instead of sacrificing your fun. 21.

Within the space of a month, two of the greatest were born: Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel.Handels father was a barber and a surgeon, which sounds like a strange combination today, but back then those occupations went hand in hand. Even though Handel was very interested in music, his father didnt think that was a good way to earn a living, so he wanted his son to be a lawyer. The story goes that Handel smuggled a quiet piano into the house so that he could practice in secret.One day, Handel went along when his father went to shave a duke. While his father was working, Handel sat down and played the dukes organ. The duke was so impressed that he convinced Handels father to let his son study music, and Handel finally got to learn how to compose.Handel soon discovered that what he liked most was opera. In fact, he was so passionate about opera that he even fought a duel (决斗) over it with one of his friends. Since Italy was the place to learn about opera composing, Handel went off to Italy to study. When he got home, he got a job as court composer for a German prince.Having landed such a wonderful job, Handel immediately asked his boss for time off. He wanted to go to England, where hed heard that there werent nearly enough composers to satisfy the British taste for Italian opera.After great success writing opera in London, Handel came back to Germany. Then fate played a funny trick on Handel and his boss. The Queen of England died, and it just so happened that the prince Handel worked for was next in line to the British throne. When he arrived in London as King George, followed Handel, his court composer in Germany.In addition to serving the King, Handel became one of the most successful opera composers of his time. And he also produced them and traveled all over Europe to hire the best singers. There are stories of battles with rival opera producers and of fights between rival singers. Handel apparently had quite a temper. If you ever go to London, look for Handels grave in Westminster Abbey, where theres a wonderful monument to him.28. How did Handel begin to learn to compose?A. His father was sure of his future success.B. His performance impressed a duke.C. He begged his father to send him to Italy. D. He practiced hard and taught himself music.29.

A. bought secretly B. took secretly C. carried in advance D. possessed personally30.Why did Handel later settle down in Britain instead of Germany?A. Because he could find better jobs in London.B. Because he enjoyed greater fame in London.C. Because his boss became King of Britain and brought him along.D. Because London was a wonderful place to learn about opera.31. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?A. Handel was born in the same year with Bach.B. Many people worked both as a barber and a surgeon.C. Handel quit his job to learn about opera in Italy. D. Handel was buried in London and was built a monument.DFederal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergence alert (警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industrys trade association, CTIA, estimates（估计） more than 48 billion text messages are sent each month.The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nations emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.Participation in the alert system by carriers telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve approaching threats, which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.The service could be in place by 2010.32. What is the purpose of the approved plan?A.
