I won't forget her advice.I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago. Her husband died of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her insights(见解)with us.
The class was nearly over. She said, "Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you an important thought.""Each of us is put here on Earth to learn, share, love, enjoy and give all by ourselves. We must make the best of every single day."Her eyes were beginning to water and she went on, "So I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn't have to be something you see — it could be a nice smell — perhaps of freshly baked bread, or it could be the sound of the breeze slightly blowing the leaves in the trees.""Please look for these things, and love them. For, although it may seem common, these things are the stuff(素材)of life. They are the little things we are put here on Earth to enjoy. They are the things we often take for granted. We must make it a point to notice them, for at any time it can all be taken away."
The class was completely quiet. We picked up our books and went out of the room silently. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole term.
I usually think of that teacher and try to enjoy all of those things that we sometimes overlook (忽略). Take notice of something special you see during your lunch hour today. Walk barefoot along the beach at sunset. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we regret(后悔), but the things we didn't do.

(3)、The underlined word "breeze"(in Paragraph 4) means ____________?

colourful cloud 
B、white snow C、light wind D、heavy rain
(4)、What is the teacher's advice? 

A、We should love life and enjoy things around us. B、We should share our important thoughts with others. C、We should never feel sorry for what we have done. D、We should do importand things and overlook little ones.

根据短文内容,回答下列问题

    The baby is taking photos with his parents, the Duke and Duchess (公爵和公爵夫人) of Cambridge. The pictures were taken by the duchess' father, Michael Middleton, in the garden of their family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire. Taken earlier this month, they show the royal ,couple, Prince George and their black cocker spaniel (西班牙猎犬), Lupo. Tilly, a golden dog, belonging to the Middleton family, can be seen lying down behind them. The photographs of Prince George, who was born on 22 July, were published by Kensington Palace.

    On Monday Prince William, giving his first interview since becoming a father, told CNN:

    “He either reminds me of my brother or me when I was younger, I'm not sure, but he*s doing very well at the moment.”

    BBC reporter Nicholas Witchell said the new family looks “unselfconscious (自然的), relaxed and happy - much like most couples might look with their first-born baby”. He added: “Of course they're aware of what's expected of them. There will be staff - a nanny (保姆) to help in

    due course (适时地), but for the moment it's all rather informal and many might think, refreshing.”

    Famous photographer Terry O'Neill said he thought the pictures were “absolutely charming”.

    “It reminded me when I first started photography for myself - I just went for the light, and it was really interesting lighting (打灯光). As a matter of fact when I heard about these pictures, I thought 'Who have they got to do these pictures' - and the thought crossed my mind they might have asked the Queen because she's quite a good photographer.”

    The cultural and education manager of Magnum Photos, Fiona Rogers, told Radio 4's Today program the photograph of the couple and Prince George with the family's dogs was “technically not the most accomplished (技艺高超的) photograph”.

    “It's a photograph that any one of us could have in our family albums,” she said.

阅读下列短文,从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

    Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One early morning, I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 a. m. When I arrived to collect my passenger, I saw a small woman in her eighties standing before me. I took her suitcase to the car and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.

    She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way l would want my mother treated."

    "Oh, you're such a good man," she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive me throughout the downtown (市中心)?"

    "It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.

    "Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to hospice (末期病人安养所). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long time." I quietly shut off the meter (计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, and the neighborhood where she had lived. Sometimes she asked me to slow down in front of a special building and she would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

    As the day broke, she suddenly said. "I'm tired. Let's go now."

    We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

    "How much shall I give you?" she asked.

    "Nothing," I answered.

    "You have to make a living," she said.

    "Oh, there are other passengers," I said.

    Almost without thinking, I bent down and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly and said, "You gave an old woman a little moment of happiness."
