    Near the village, there is an old famous temple. Some people want to build a new house where the temple now stands, because they can find no other area to build them, while others disagree with them. They meet to decide how to solve the problem. Here are their opinions about it.

The expert wants to protect the temple and believes that there are some interesting things buried in the ground. If it is destroyed or moved, people may never learn about how people lived in the past.

The businessman thinks that the houses should be built. History is important, but we must think about the future. The village needs development and building new houses will offer jobs to hundreds of people.

Villager A says, "We should build the new houses because we need houses to live in."

Villager B says, "We should protect the temple because it can attract many tourists to come for a visit. If the temple is destroyed or moved, we will lose a lot of business."

The village leader thinks that he has a duty to make life better for the villagers. They need jobs and new houses. He also thinks the cultural site (遗迹) is important and they should be careful with it as well.

①One morning, I got up early and decided to make an apple pie for my mum. I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn't notice three hours pass by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I made a terrible pie, I really enjoyed the process.

②The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success.

③ But in this busy world, we see many successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself.

④Don't always compare yourself with others. Success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power.

⑤Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop.

⑥Reward yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them.

 以下是一篇短文,请阅读全文,并从文后的六个选项中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。

"The only constant(不变)in life is change," Heraclitus said in about 500 B.C. That could be more true today.{#blank#}1{#/blank#} Technology is out of date almost by the time you buy it. We get plenty of information every day. Francis Bacon said, "Knowledge is power." In fact, there is more information in a newspaper than he would have experienced in his whole life.

Why are we afraid of change? {#blank#}2{#/blank#} After all, who knows what new dangers might appear? However, change is also the only way of development. Nobody can stop it in life. Luckily, our brains become stronger when meeting the unknown. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} To be more imaginative and creative, you should look for and find environments you have no experience with.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} For example, try a new restaurant, or go to a play or a concert you normally wouldn't attend. Small changes can help you gradually get used to uncertainty(不确定). So when bigger things happen, you'll be more fully prepared for them.

People who fear change often stick to a certain lifestyle. They believe they can control the future by doing so. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} If you can move from just accepting it to actively finding it out and dealing with it, you will be successful.

A. People are thirsty for knowledge.

B. That's because our brains want to protect us.

C. But change comes whether you ask for it or not.

D. We live in a world that is changing every minute.

E. You can learn how to face the changes in daily life.

F. Dealing with the unexpected needs imagination and creativity.

It was half past five in the evening when Sarah came home from work. She walked into the living room and looked after three children. The children were fourteen, thirteen and 'nine years old. They were watching TV. The room was dirty and untidy. There were empty glasses and dirty clothes on the floor. There were cakes on the sofa. Toys were everywhere. 

Sarah got angry. "How dirty and untidy this place is!" she said to her children. "I can't work all day and then do housework all evening. I'm not doing the housework!" And so, Sarah didn't do the housework. She didn't clean. She didn't do 'the dishes. She didn't wash the clothes. Every evening she sat in the sofa and watched TV. 

Two weeks later, every dish in the house was dirty. All the children's clothes were dirty, too. Every trash can,(垃圾桶)was full. The whole house was dirty and untidy. 

Then one day Sarah got very surprised when she came home from work. The kitchen was clean. The children cleaned the kitchen! The next day, the living room was clean, and the children were washing their clothes. Sarah told the children. "OK, III do housework again. But you must help me."

Now Sarah and the three children do the housework together. Then they all sit in the sofa and watch TV.
