I have tried never to let my passion stand in the way of being a good parent.I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓言)mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.So heres what I want to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure (休闲); it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.Its so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. Its so easy to exist instead of to live. I learnt to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all. I learned to love the journey, not the destination.I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part,by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.7.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.the author is a success in personal lifeB.the author didnt try her best to work wellC.the author spent all her time caring for her childrenD.the author likes traveling very much8.How did the author form her view of life?A.Through social experience.B.By learning from her friends.C.Through an unfortunate experience.D.From her children and husband.9.By the underlined sentence It is so easy to exist instead of to live in the fifth paragraph,the author really means that people tend to.A.make a living rather than live a real lifeB.work rather than enjoy lifeC.waste a lot in lifeD.forget the most important lessons in life10.Whats the authors attitude toward work?A.Do it well to serve others.B.Earn enough money to make life better.C.Try your best to get a higher position and a pay raise.D.Dont let it affect your real life.D Mum, my old bike has gone wrong again.
