What I mean is that life can teach you things no one else can. Luckily for you, its time to have lessons of life. Pay attention and you can know what I call the school of life.Use Your HeadYou have to be smart to survive (生存) in this world. Anytime you need to make a move, stop and think. Obviously there will be times when you need to take action first, but if youve been taking the time to plan, youll always make the right choice. Fail to plan, plan to fail.Set Your GoalsIn my team, if you dont finish the job well, we will fire you. Your goals should be on building a basic of solid and complete work. Make certain a list of what you have to do and start with the biggest and most difficult task. The key here is goals.Respect Your Superiors (上级)Your boss is in his position for a reason, no matter what you think of him. If hes not the best one, be patienthell be out of there soon. In the meantime, you have to respect him as your superior. That means following orders and closing your mouth. If you dont respect your boss, how will you expect the people under you to do the same?Keep Your CoolYou should never let your emotions (情绪) control you. You should learn to keep calm. Never lose your cool when dealing in business, or it will ruin the whole thing.The school of life can be hard, but if youre smart and play your cards right, you can come out with an A+.

You are driving along a desert or on a mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you. This invention may be able to help you. It is a device(装置) which uses satellites (卫星) to find the users position(位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. You can hold it in your hand, or put in your pocket. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates(计算) its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate(精确的). There are also new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost again.（1）According to the passage, with the help of the GPS, people _.A . cant be lost in a new cityB . cant find their way in different countriesC . can learn about the culture of an unknown placeD . can spend the least time getting to another place（2）We can learn from the passage that _.A . there are three parts to the GPSB . a GPS cant be put into a watchC . a GPS can help you start your carD . the GPS are becoming more and more expensive（3）The underlined word “They” in paragraph 3 means “_”.A . ReceiversB . GPS devicesC . SatellitesD .

All GPS devices have electronic maps.B . People in many countries will use the GPS for free.C . The receiver of the GPS contacts at least five of the satellites.D . The GPS will become more and more common in everyday life.14. （16分）根据短文内容，完成任务。（C）There are so many traffic accidents now. Many people are killed or hurt everyday on roads. Its becoming a more and more serious problem. Why?Sometimes drivers drive too fast or dont drive carefully enough. They talk or answer the cellphone during the driving. Some drivers drive against the red lights. Whats worse(更糟的是), some drive on the road after drinking alcohol(酒) too much. Now “No driving after drinking; No drinking before driving” is very popular.Many people think the main reason of traffic accidents are from drivers. Is it true?A survey(调查) shows that the pedestrians(行 人) can also cause the traffic accidents. Some of them often walk in the roads instead of on the walkways. They get into or out of cars in the middle of the road. They walk or run in front of the fast cars. They even walk across the roads against the red lights.Some people think that too many people cause too many accidents. However, the traffic in Tokyo shows that it is wrong. Tokyo(东 京) is one of the worlds largest and busiest cities. The police there are strict, the drivers there are careful, the pedestrians follow the traffic rules. There are very few accidents happening there.Where is the safe way?（1）The traffic in Tokyo shows that too many people cause too many accidents.（2）Driving after drinking is quite dangerous.（3）文中处斜体部分的中文意思是：（4）将画线句子翻译成中文。（5）选择正确答案。This passage mainly tells us .A . some drivers often talk or answer the cellphone when drivingB . the reasons of traffic accidentsC . some pedestrians do nothing wrongD .
