She found it valuable right away!Although I only bought your book on Monday, and today is Wednesday, I want you to know how valuable I have found it to be. I have used a couple of the games in school already and the children loved them.Most importantly, they were learning and reviewing English at the same time. Can I admit that I also enjoyed my lessons more?

Who’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people－society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿), their passions a quotation.”
So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug — we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一剂毒品), we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.
But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom — the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they’re more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our lives on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.
So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way — make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values — not values gained from the outside by others, but values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more effective, purposeful and happy life.What Oscar Wilde says implies that .
| A．most people have a variety of thoughts |
| B．we have thoughts similar to those of others |
| C．other people’s thoughts are more important |
| D．most people’s thoughts are controlled by others |
What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph?
| A．We may lose ourselves to please others. |
| B．The price of taking the drug is freedom. |
| C．We need to pay for what we want to get. |
| D．Changing opinions may cost us our freedom. |
It can be concluded from the passage that .
| A．it’s better to do what we like | B．we shouldn’t care what others think |
| C．we shouldn’t change our own opinions | D．it’s important to accept others’ opinions |
The author tries to persuade the readers to accept his arguments mainly by .
| A．discussing questions | B．making suggestions |
| C．analyzing causes and effects | D．providing examples and facts |
Australians have been warned they face a life or death decision over their water — drink recycled sewage (污水) or die.
With the drought (干旱) continuing, the country is set to be forced to use purified (净化的) waste water for drinking, even though there is great opposition to the measure.
Queensland has become the first state to introduce the policy after a warning from its premier.
“I think in the end, because of the drought, all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water,” said Peter Beattie.
“These are difficult decisions, but you either drink water or you die. There’s no choice. It’s liquid gold; it’s a matter of life and death.”
Beattie said Australia’s second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking.
Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel.
But Australians have never liked the idea.
To try to change the way Australians think, Prime Minister John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have adhered to Queensland’s move.
“I am very strongly for recycling and Mr. Beattie is right and I agree with him completely,” Howard said.
“Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water.” added Turnbull, “All of our big cities have to widen the range of water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall.”What is the text mainly about?
| A．Australians face the choice of life and death. |
| B．Premier Beattie is worried about his people’s health. |
| C．We should avoid drinking recycled water to keep healthy. |
| D．Continuing drought forces Australians to drink recycled sewage. |
What can we learn from the last paragraph?
| A．Australians have never like drinking purified waste water. |
| B．Australians should develop more water sources to live through the hard time. |
| C．Australians can’t depend upon rainwater, which is not suitable for drinking. |
| D．Australian government has no ability to solve the problem of water shortage. |
The underlined phrase “adhered to” in Paragraph 9 probably means ______.
| A．disliked | B．gone against | C．supported | D．doubted |
It can be inferred from what Premier Peter Beattie said that ______.
| A．he gives orders to drink purified waste water |
| B．It is painful for him to see people drink recycled sewage |
| C．If the decision is made, people won’t survive the drought |
| D．It’s totally up to you to either make a life or death decision |
