1. Take Care of Your Home

When you’re not around other people, it is easy to lose interest in tidying up your home. Even if you don’t have a roommate or company that frequently walks in your door, 【2】.

2. 【3】

If you don’t see beauty in your world, you’re not looking hard enough. If you’re home alone and feeling down, walk outside and spend some time with nature. Go to the park, walk on a nature trail, clear your thoughts, listen to the sounds of the forest, and you will find the beauty that’s right in front of you.

3. Watch Out for Noisy Thoughts

【4】. If you find yourself thinking, “I feel so lonely right now,” it’s easy to keep that thought process going in the wrong direction. If you find yourself stressing out, do something that relaxes you. Light some candles or incense, take a nice hot bubble bath, perform some gentle yoga poses, or play soft music.

4. Create Something of Value

The best way to feel happy alone is to spend your time creating something that brings you joy. start a blog about a topic that interests you, 【5】, or learn a new language, like German or Spanish.

Having friends and family is great but we all need to learn how to live a happy life alone.

D．Find Beauty in the Ordinary

E．you had better clean house at least once a week.

G．Your thoughts can be your best friend and worst enemy

27、I have a younger brother. To me, he is a fourteen-year-old kid named Joe, with blond hair and blue eyes. To others, he is different. Where I see a kid who just needs a lot more attention, others see a mentally disabled boy, a kid who cannot walk or talk or think for himself. I see someone who just makes daily routine a bit less routine. Others see an annoyance, I a bother.

This is not to say that I have never felt resentful (怨恨的) toward Joe. He is my brother, and with that comes responsibility. “Gina, could you stay in tonight and watch your brother?” “Gina, do me a favor and feed him dinner and change his diaper (尿布) later, please?” “Could you come home right after school today and get Joe off the bus?”

These are phrases that I have heard since I was twelve. And sure, they have made me resent my brother to a certain extent. I would think: that’s not fair! Everyone else can stay after and be a member of this club, or get extra help from that teacher. Or, all my friends are going out tonight, why can’t I? And, how come I have to feed him? He is not my son!

However, the small amount of resentment I feel toward my brother is erased a thousand times over by what I have learned from him. Besides making me responsible from a young age, and helping me be more accepting of all kinds of people, he has taught me to be thankful for what I have.

I know that there are moments in my life that I should cherish and that Joe will never experience. He will never laugh so hard that he cries. He will never feel the glory of a straight-A report card. He will never comfort a best friend crying on his shoulder. And he will never know how much his family love him.

Because he will never know, it is up to me to know, every second, how lucky I am. It is up to me to realize that life should be lived to its fullest, and that you should always, always be grateful that God, or whoever are the powers that be, gave you the ability to live your life the way you were meant to live it.

【1】We know from the first paragraph that Gina’s brother __________.

A．causes trouble to neighbours

B．pays more attention to others

C．lives with mental disability

D．considers daily routine a bother

【2】If Mother asks Gina to look after her brother now, what will she probably answer?

A．I'm afraid not.

B．No problem!

C．It depends.

D．It’s not fair!

A．value the glory of success

B．appreciate what life gives us

C．comfort unfortunate people

D．treasure meaningful moments

29、Climbing, I once thought, was a very manly activity, but as I found my way into this activity, I came to see that something quite different happens on the rock.

Like wild swimming, rock climbing involves you into the landscape. On the rock, I am fully present. Eyes pay close attention.ears are alert (警觉的), and hands move across the surface. Unlike walking, where I could happily wander about absent-mindedly, in climbing, attentive observation is essential.

As an arts student studying English literature, I discovered a new type of reading from outdoor climbing. Going out on to the crags (悬崖), I saw how you can learn to read the rocks and develop a vocabulary of physical movements. Good climbers knew how to map their bodies on to the stone. Watching them, I wanted to possess that skillful language.

My leap happened when I worked for the Cairngorms National Park Authority. Guiding my explorations into this strange new landscape was Nan Shepherd. Unlike the goal-directed mindset of many mountaineers, she is not concerned with peaks or personal beats. Shepherd sees the mountain as a total environment and she celebrates the Caingorms as a place alive with plants, rocks, animals and elements. Through her generous spirit and my own wanderings, I saw that rock climbing need not be a process of testing yourself against anything. Rather, the intensity of focus could release you into another way of being.

Spending so much time in high and stony places has changed my view on the world and our place in it. I have come into physical contact with processes that go way beyond the everyday. Working with gravity, geology (地质学), rhythms of weather and deep time, I gain an actual relationship with the earth. This connection lies at the heart of my passion for rock climbing. I return to the rocks, because this is where I feel in touch — with our land.

【1】Why does the author like climbing?

A．It challenges her to compete with men.

B．Ir allows her a urique attitude toward rock.

C．It teaches her how to possess a new language.

D．It makes her feel connected with the world.

【2】What does the writer find important in climbing?

A．Balance.

B．Concentration.

C．Determination.

D．Curiosity.

【3】What does the writer learn from Nan Shepherd?

A．Climbing goes together with nature.

B．Every mountain top is within reach.

C．The best climber is the one having fun.

D．You cannot achieve high unless you change.

【4】What does the underlined word “it” in paragrap 5 refer to?

A．Time.

B．Contact.

C．The world.

D．My view.

30、   What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I _______  an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against a (an) _______ of 100, scored 160.

I had a car-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not  _______ have scored more than 80. _______ , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him — and he always _______  it.

Well, then suppose (如果) my car-repair man _______  questions for some intelligence test. By every one of them I’d prove myself a  _______ . In a world where I have to work with my _______ , I’d do poorly.

I’ve been ____________  that on all my customers today, but I knew ____________ I’d catch you.” “Why is that?” I asked. “Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc.
