河北省石家庄市实验中学2017-2018学年高二下学期英语期末考试试卷（音频暂未更新）
You only live once, and life is short. It's easy to look at people who are happy and assume that they don't understand your pain. The older you get, the more you realize that happiness takes work. People who smile in public have been through as much as people who cry, scream, etc. So how can you live life to the fullest? Here are some tips to help you out:
Decide what's important to you. It doesn't matter what it is. Your parents, friends and society in general all have their opinions, but you're the only person who will be around for every moment of your life. Do what makes you happy, and everything else will fall into place.
Ready to take risks. Sometimes, there's danger involved in life, but every reward carries risk with it. However, if you never take risks, you'll never get anywhere in life. When people look back on their lives, they regret the chances they didn't take more than the ones they did.
Ignore the haters. No matter what you decide to do with your life, there will always be someone around to point out the many ways you will fail. Know that every winner loses, but not every loser wins. Instead, they keep pushing through failure.
Your being right about something doesn't mean there aren't other ways to look at it. Listening to ideas you don't agree with or understand keeps your brain active and healthy.
A. Keep an open mind.
B. Speak through your actions.
C. Successful people don't start out successful.
D. Don't do what you think people want you to do.
E. It is true that some actions might have bad results.
F. They just have the courage and strength to smile through it.
G. Think about your past and future, but only focus on the present.

A. Know when to be silent. B. Offer your encouragement. C. But are you willing to be there for the hard times that are the opposite of fun? D. The best way to develop meaningful connections with true friends you can trust is to become a true friend yourself. E. Have you ever shouted at a person when you were feeling stressed and wished you could take it back? F. Never hesitate to speak your thoughts and feelings. G. Never attempt to "fix" them, no matter how crazy their action might make you. |
