When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the __1__ side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to __2__ in good health, or __3__ about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to __4__ damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text __5__ the title. Therefore, the scissors would __6__ before they start, __7__ halfway done when I find out the __8__ result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your __9__. You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be __10__ up.
But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left__11__. Thus you are __12__ in a difficult position and feel sad. How __13__ that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life __14__ greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.
In fact that is what __15__ is like: we are often __16__ with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that your attention is drawn to one thing only __17__ we get into another. The __18__ may be more important than the latter and give rise to divided mind. I __19__ remember a philosopher's remarks, “When one door shuts, another opens in life.” So a casual __20__ may not be a bad one.

语篇解读：剪报时遇到的一些问题引发了作者对生活的一些思索：有时一个随意的选择并不是坏的选择。
1.从下文the opposite one is likely to...可知此处意为：但是当我想这样做的时候，我发现背面的文章也很有趣。
2．它可能是一篇讨论如何保持健康的文章。keep in health“保持健康”，是固定用法。
3．或者是关于如何在社会生活中为人处事的建议。此处的advice和前面的way相对应。
4．背面的文章有可能遭受损害。suffer“遭受”；reduce“减少”；prevent“预防”；cause“引起”。
5．文章只留下一半或者文章没有了题目。
6．因此，剪刀会在开始之前或剪到一半的时候停在那儿。
7．见上题解析。halfway done“完成一半”。
8．当我发现这个遗憾的结果的时候。satisfying“满意的”；regretful“遗憾的”；surprising“惊讶的”；impossible“不可能的”。
9．有时两件事情需要你同时做，并且两件事都值得你关注。courage“勇气”；strength“力气”；attention“注意”；patience“耐心”。最后一段第二句话也有提示。
10．另一件必须等待或者是被放弃。give up“放弃”。
11．这里选D，承接上段末尾处的to wait or be given up。变化了的情形可能不允许你去做已经落在后面的事情。leave behind“抛在后面；落后。”
12. 这样你就陷在困境中并感到悲伤。be caught in“遇到，被困在。”
13．好的机会和绝妙的想法怎么会同时聚在一起呢？how come“怎么会？”；all at once“同时”。
14．有可能当你偏爱一种选择胜过另一种时，你的生活会发生很大的改变。
15．事实上生活就是这样。由本段后面讨论的内容可知“学习”“社会”“自然”均不符合语境。
16．我们总是要面对一个事情对立的两个方面。be faced with“面对”。
17．通常，在你遇到另一件事之前，你的注意力只集中在一件事情上。
18．从下文the latter可知选former。
19．我还(still)记得一位哲学家的话。
20．一个随意的选择可能不是糟糕的。

beart. One it aways times out. “Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer. But I know that one hay, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself. “You will do something great.” He didn’t know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask. “Is this what you were talking about, Dad?

When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen. She greeted me by name and started talking enthusiastically. Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss. She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother, and a lot of it was about his getting the phone company to give him a high="speed" Internet connection. It was pretty cool.
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail. Facemail lets you send an e-mail that gets read to the receiver by an attractive male or female form or by a clown. The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www. Facemail.com.
Facemail faces are lifelike, and they copy emotions based on the ones that you put in your text. For example, type in X, and Rachel blows a kiss.
Life FX, the company that develops the Facemail is sure there are broad business uses. The reason e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch. But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? And the company is talking with Whirlpool about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge. Then if Mom can’t be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat.
Facemail could get hot fast. Personally, I’m a fan. But Facemail should be used with words in an e-mail and add angry emotions when you’ve got a psycho-mail.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. _ _【小题1】
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. _【小题2】 The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated （受阻）by limited understanding. __【小题3】__
Here is some of t
he advice I give my students:
●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
● Do not translate everything into your native language.
●__【小题4】___ Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
● Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 【小题5】 Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A．But  you can’t follow a native English speaker at all! |
| B．What should you do? |
| C．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners! |
| D．However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany. |
