Sometimes we start a day with the previous day still in mind. We think about the

mistakes we made in the previous day, how things went wrong, and how we felt bad about it.

No wonder it becomes difficult to focus on the current day.

Here are some steps on how to start your new day fresh:

1. Take time to evaluate your day

At the end of a day, take some time to think about it. The purpose of this thinking time is

not to regret how bad your day was, how things went wrong, or how people treated you badly.

This won’t do you any good. Instead, the purpose of this thinking time is to

extract (

吸取）

lessons which you can bring to the following day.

2. Make a commitment to apply the lessons

After you extract the lessons, you should make a commitment to apply them. To do so,

find some actionable things you can do to apply the lessons. Next, remind yourself to do them.

You may write them down if you want to.

3.

“Close” your day

After you have spent the time to think about the day and extract the lessons, make a

decision to “close” the day. You are done with it; don’t

think about it anymore.

4 .Bring only the lessons to the next day and nothing else

After you “close” a day, you should not bring anything out of it to the next day except for the

lessons you extract. Focus on applying the lessons to the present. This way you will be able to

start your day fresh without the burden of yesterday.

20.

What will happen if we think too much about the past?

A. There will be a disaster.

B. There will be good results.

C. We won’t have a peaceful mind.

D. We surely won’t

finish today’s task.

21.

When should we draw lessons from the past mistakes?

A. At the end of a day.

B. When we make mistakes.

C. At the beginning of a day.

D. When we regret making the mistakes.

22.

Why should we extract lessons from the past day?

A. To set them down.

B. To consider them again.

C. To make a better decision.

D. To apply them for future use.

B

For years, my time spent in the shower could have got me a mention in Guinness World

Records as the shortest time taken to bathe. I hurried up during this process.

One day, however, while at a party, I heard an artist friend telling everybody that his

idea came while he was having a shower. “What about you?

creative

thoughts from the same place?”

“

I'm in and out in a hurry,” I told him proudly. “I have no time to waste!”

“

What a pity,” he said. “That’s the place where you need to slow down; plenty of great

thoughts come from there!” I tried it out. I slowed down the

whole process, started enjoying

the warm water, taking a little longer to soap myself and even spending more time just

enjoying the process, and realized how much I had missed in hurrying up all these years.

A woman told me how much stress her friend was suffering from and how she sought

to convince her that she needed to find ways to relax. She gave her a videotape on stress

management and relaxation techniques, and encouraged her to watch it right away. Fifteen

minutes later, her friend handed back the tape.

“

It was good

，

”

she said,

“

but I don

’

t need it.

”

“

But it’s a 70

-

minute video,” the woman replied. “You couldn’t have watched the

whole thing.”

“

Yes, I did,” her friend said. “I put it in fast

-

forward!”

A major social problem of the 21st century is Hurry Sickness. We hurry through work.

We swallow fast food. We complain that we don’t have enough time. We race through the

days and weeks until one day we look back in amazement and comment, “My god, how the

years flew by!” Then we realize the heavy price

we have paid for traveling fast.

Symptoms of Hurry Sickness include stress and anxiety, bad relationships, lowered

work performance and even disease. Some people don’t survive it. What’s the cure? Slow

down, for life is so short and precious that we must live it well.

23.

What was the advantage of taking a shower in the eyes of the artist friend?

A. Time was saved.

B. Nothing was missed.

C. Great ideas flew away.

D. Creative thoughts came.

24.

What was the trouble with the woman’s frien

d?

A. She felt stressed.

B. She found the tape useless.

C. She found no way to relax.

D. She watched the tape too fast.

25.

What are the major trouble people face in the 21st century in the writer’s eyes?

A. People run fast to work.

B. Everything is done in a hurry.

C. People don’t have enough time.

D. Time flies without being noticed.

26. How can the problem be settled?

A. By pacing down.

B. By learning to survive.

C. By developing friendship.

D. By performing good work.

C

It could have been any of us, but it happened to be me. I received a brief 18 months of

undivided attention and love as the only child, before three more appeared. The second was a

severe blow. No doubt, learning the need to share was important, but I had tasted the life of an

only child.

Then came years of requests to look after the siblings (

兄弟姐妹）

,being urged that,

You should be setting a better example,

“

Again and again the others got away with doing

wrong but I

didn’t

. We each played our roles: the second one who later skipped school to meet

boys; the ever so attractive third, the boy who could do no wrong; and finally the surprise

appearance of the fourth, seemed certain to be spoiled even now. So that left me: the

reasonable, quiet one who got the grades, did the housework and became a chameleon (

变色

龙

)< /p>

—

skilled at reading a situation and being what was needed.

Then eventually came the chance to be the first to leave and experience life on the

outside,not defined (

定义

)as the eldest. The moment I had waited for. But now, many years

later, being the eldest matters again. It's down to me; it seems, to take the lead in caring for

our parents. All the time I was made to learn about sharing; however, when it comes to

responsibility, it no longer seems to apply. The others are too busy, too far away, or too

unconcerned. So dutifully I travel many times across the country for hours to provide care and

support. Requests to my siblings to help out more fall on deaf ears. To me, the dutiful first

born, it feels like the right and only thing to do; to be there for our parents as they were for us.

Sadly, that feeling isn’t shared by the second, third or fourth

.

The Maltese Islands are rich in Neolithic (
