26、Every New Year brings renewed(更新的) expectation for a change, for a better life and for a better you. That’s a wonderful thing, because this fresh start gives us a chance to reinvent our lives and ourselves. Here’s how.
Let go
Many times we are held back by our previous failures,emotions and barriers(障碍). This is all old baggage. Let everything unhappy from the past go. Let go of failures. Let go of fears you’ve built up. Let go of your ideas about what your life has to be like. Let go of long-held beliefs and habits which seem to be burdens(负担) to you.
Clear away distractions(分心)
Clear away email, your favourite blogs and news websites. Clearaway the iPhone or Blackberry, and clear away all the chores that pull at your attention. In fact, if you can, shut off the Internet for a while. You can come back to it after you take a break.
Decide what matters most today
Forget about your goals for all of this year. Instead, decide what you want to do today. What matters most to you and your life? What are you most passionate(热情的) about right now? What excites you? What gives you the most fulfillment(满足感)? Often the answer would be in creating something, making something new, helping others, becoming a better person, and working on a project that you will be proud of. But whatever your answer, have it clear in your mind at the beginning of the day.
Reinvent yourself every day
Every day, you are reborn.Reinvent yourself and your life. Do what matters most to you. It might be the same thing that mattered most yesterday, or it might not be. That isn’t important. What’s important is today---right now! Be passionate, and be happy!
You’ll have a fresh start every single day---not just on January 1 of a new year.

27、Carlos had been in New York for five months now, and he detested it. He would never forget the day when the plane landed. His parents had big smiles on their faces as they discussed the wonderful new life they would have in this great city. His older sister and brother looked in wonder and excitement at the buildings. Uncle Miguel and Aunt Esperanza thought of the good jobs they would get. Grandmother and Grandfather told him what a lucky boy he was to come to this wonderful city. But Carlos was lonely. The city looked big, cold, and dirty to him.
They lived in an apartment in Manhattan. There were stores and cinemas close to their home. But Carlos didn’t want these things. He loved his home in the country in Puerto Rico; he loved the green fields, the hot sun, and the lovely beaches.
He didn’t want to go to school because it made him think of his friends at home. And he didn’t want to learn a new language that could never describe the world as beautifully as his own.
He began to go down to the dock(码头), because this made him feel closer to Puerto Rico. He sat down and watched the ships. He would often find a man also sitting there looking at the sea. The man was Eric-a taxi driver who came there to escape from the noisy traffic.
Eric noticed the young boy and felt his sadness. One day he said, “Yes, it’s hard to leave your homeland. I remember when I left Norway 15 years ago. I know it’s hard to start a new life in a new country, but let’s face it. I did it and you can do it, too.”
From then on the taxi driver and the young boy began to develop a deep friendship.

28、A tiger park in Phuket, Thailand is preparing to welcome back foreign visitors this week. The reopening is part of a plan to bring back foreign visitors with COVID-19 vaccination to the island. The visitors do not have to follow lockdown rules. After 14 days, as long as they have no coronavirus infection, they can travel elsewhere in Thailand.
Chadarat Taodaeng is the general manager of Tiger Kingdom in Phuket. He said the park had put safety measures in place before Thursday’s reopening to help foreign visitors feel comfortable.
“We have vaccinated more than 90 percent of our workers and also trained them about the ‘new normal’ tourism,” the manager said. The park has more than 50 tigers and a cheetah. And visitors can get close to them. Since the pandemic lockdowns, visitor numbers have dropped from nearly 1,000 a day to fewer than 20.
Thailand lost about $50 billion in tourism when foreign arrivals fell to 6. 7 million last year. In 2019, the country had nearly 40 million visitors. And Phuket suffered from a large number of job losses and business closings.
“I’m happy that finally there will be people visiting the tigers, and Phuket city will be bustling again,” said the park’s assistant manager, Phonphawit Ton-od. She added that the reopening would “help with both tigers’ and the workers’ mental health.”
Even though there has been an increase in the popularity of parks like the Tiger Kingdom, experts are against the opening. Clearly, there are worries over safety after some attacks by the animals. Bringing back visitors is important to Thailand’s economy. But government officials also have to deal with a recent increase in coronavirus infections.
【1】What kind of foreign visitors does the tiger park want?
A.Wealthy ones.
B.Brave ones.
C.Polite ones.
D.Safe ones.
【2】What do we know from the manager’s words in paragraph 3?
A.The money the country lost.
B.The visitors the park receives.
C.Measures the park has taken.
D.The numbers of animals in the park.
【3】What does the underlined word “bustling” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Busy.
B.Silent.
C.Clean.
D.Dangerous.
【4】Why do experts have a different opinion about the reopening?
A.Foreigners may spread diseases.
B.They are worried about hidden risks.
C.The wild animals in the park may suffer.
D.Over-tourism may damage the environment.
29、When someone you care about has suffered a serious health event or is dealing with a life-threatening illness, it can be difficult to know what to say or do. 【1】 How can you best offer your support? These tips can help:
Offer your support. Your friend or loved one may be unwilling to ask for help, but it’s support from people like you that can make all the difference in their recovery. Offer to help with a specific task, even if it’s simply to sit with them during or after treatment. 【2】
Listen. When you talk to someone with a serious illness, it’s natural to feel awkward or not know what to say. 【3】Allow them to express what they’re going through without judging them.
【4】The more you know about your loved one’s diagnosis (诊断) and treatment, the better prepared you’ll be to help. But that doesn’t mean you should tell the person what they should or shouldn’t do, unless they specifically ask for your opinion or want to know what you’ve researched. Treatment decisions are finally always up to your loved one, so be supportive even if you don’t always agree.
Stay connected. 【5】You can’t just provide support at the time of diagnosis and then let your attention go. Your support can be just as important after treatment as it is before.
A.Sometimes, the most important thing you can do is to be there.
B.Your loved one is likely to experience some painful feelings.
C.All you need to do is to present your determined attitude.
D.Educate yourself about the illness but don’t give advice.
E.But often what really counts is to listen to the person.
F.Some illnesses can involve long-term treatment.
G.Encourage your loved one to keep calm.
