Anand wanted to get his company to help clean up the lake. He did a lot of research for the project. He found that this lake had once been part of a big network (网状系统) of lakes.

His son Paco isn’t as tall as his father, but his long arms and legs suggest he’ll still grow taller. Whenever Paco isn’t concentrating on his smartphone, he can be seen in scuba gear (水中呼吸装置). It is through this hobby that he bonds with his dad.Paco, who is 14, is the second oldest among Carlos’ children: Javier, 21, Adriana, 10, and Carolina, 6.“I try to find common ground between me and my kids. I find something we all have in common, and then go from there,” says Carlos.“It’s all different with each of them. My eldest doesn’t like diving like Paco. So, for example, if they like games, I approach talking with them through their games, and then go from there. It’s just being there for them, listening to them, and knowing their problems and anxieties. You just need to let them know you’re there for them.“For Carlos and Paco, it was diving, a hobby that the former started in 1997 when his dad bought a boat and decided to buy scuba gear for the whole family. “I got certified (获得认证) with my brother Richie. It was an on and off thing with diving,” Carlos shares. “Three years ago, I learned that Paco wanted to study how to dive as well, which gave me a reason to go back to diving.“We even got certified for the advanced open water course together. That’s how committed we are to diving,“ Carlos says.“Hanging out with my dad is really fun because we get to create a lot of memories. Also, he always lets me have as much food as I want, so that’s a plus,” Paco adds. The two then talked about some of their best trips together when diving.“The most unforgettable one for me was our five-day Visayan live-aboard dive trip.The sights were excellent, and it was three dives a day, so we went underwater to our heart’s content. What else could I ask for?“ says Carlos.31．Carlos gets along well with his children by________.A．learning some new skills from his childrenB．training his children to be professional athletesC．getting to know his kids through common interestsD．keeping his kids away from problems and anxieties32．What can we learn about Carlos’ diving?A．He was bad at it in the beginning.B．He put it aside for a period of time.C．He has been sticking to the hobby since 1997.D．He got certified under the direction of his dad.33．How does Paco feel being with his dad?A．He opens up more easily.B．He enjoys more freedom.C．He is much safer.D．He learns faster.The sun is setting, brightening your kids’ faces as they play in the waves. You reach for your phone for this perfect moment. But before you do, here’s a bit of surprising science: Taking photos is not the perfect way to keep memory as you think.Taking too many pictures could actually harm the brain’s ability to keep memories, says Elizabeth Loftus, a psychology professor at the University of California, Irvine. So we get the photo but kind of lose the memory.Photos may outsource memories. It works in two ways: We either shake off the responsibility of remembering moments when taking pictures, or we’re so distracted (分心的) by the process that we miss the moment altogether.The first explanation is the loss of memory. People know that their camera is recording that moment, so they don’t try to remember. Similarly, if you write down someone’s phone number, you’re less likely to remember it offhand because your brain tells you there’s just no need. That’s all well and good — until that piece of paper goes missing.The other is distraction. We’re distracted by the process of taking a photo — how we hold our phone, composing the photo, such as smiling faces, the background to our liking and clear image, all of which uses up our attention that could otherwise help us memorize.However, taking photos can benefit memory — when done mindfully. While taking a photo may be distracting, the act of preparation by focusing on visual details around has some upsides.When people take the time to zoom in (拉近镜头) on specific things, memories become strengthened.Another benefit is that we recall moments more accurately with the photos. Memory has been reshaped with the help of new information and new experiences. Thus, photos or videos help us recall moments as if they really happened.Memories die away without a visual record backing them up. Therefore, a photo is an excellent tool to help remember when done purposefully, which is worth exploring further. 34．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To bring up a topic.B．To present an experience.C．To show an approach.D．To give a suggestion.35．What does the underlined word “outsource” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Make full use of.B．Get rid of.C．Take the place of.D．Are made up of.36．What may likely be discussed next?A．Situations when taking photos is better.B．How to stay focused while taking photos.C．When distraction is most likely to happen.D．How to use photo-taking to memorize better.37．Which of the following could be the best title for the text?A．Photography or MemoriesB．Fewer Photos, More MemoriesC．Photography Does Good to MemoriesD．Remember the Moment and Take Photos ProperlyThe first time I heard about my classmates engaging with social media was in the fourth grade. A lot of my friends and classmates had excitedly jumped onto platforms like Instagram at such a young age. On the other hand, I hesitated. I only knew the basics, but was foreign to some words on social media.All throughout middle school, I stuck with the same thinking. And now, as a freshman incollege, I am looking back and wondering why I, unlike my classmates, have never been naturally interested in social media.Scanning Instagram, you ought to find dozens of pictures of people in beautiful countries, taking part in exciting activities, and spending time with friends and family, among many other things. The thought of doing this has never related to me. I respect and understand those who do believe using social media allows them to express themselves and share aspects of their lives with others. However, I have never had any interest in doing the same. In my eyes, when not shared with others, family gatherings and friend get-togethers are just as meaningful, if not more so.Most people have experienced feeling insecure (不安全) and unconfident on social media. Images that are changed represent unrealistic beauty standards that can only be obtained through dangerous ways. Even without using social media, I knew that using apps like Instagram and Facebook would make me embarrassed about all the aspects that make me a unique individual. I’ve never wanted to look at a post on social media and immediately compare myself and my life.I constantly observe my classmates getting easily distracted (使分心) by social media.While trying to complete their homework, they have a powerful urge to open up Instagram or Facebook to see if there are any new messages. With homework and after-class activities consuming the majority of my day, I cannot wait to finish every task on my to-do list, so I can finally spend time with my family or have some time for myself to relax from my busy day.38．What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A．Social media are popular in schools.B．Young pupils suffer from social media.C．The author has no access to social media.D．Social media contribute to students’ study.39．From paragraph 3, we can know that ________.A．students get easily distracted by social mediaB．pictures of people taking part in exciting activities are not realC．family gatherings are not meaningful if not shared with othersD．the author never shares aspects of his lives with others on social media40．Why do people using social media might feel insecure?A．They post their images on social media.B．They follow other people’s beauty standards totally.C．Social media change the way they look at themselves.D．Social media encourage them to be a unique individual.41．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．A to-do list can stop people using social media.B．Social media can waste people’s valuable time.C．Spending time with family always enjoys first priority.D．Students pay more attention to social media than to study.四、七选五How to deal with your homeworkWrite it down. 42 Always be sure to write down all the homework so you won’t forget anything.Create a homework station. Find somewhere comfortable and quiet to do your home work. 43 It will take twice as long to get the homework done. Shut off your cell phone, log off (退出) your computer (unless you need it for your homework) and close the door.Do homework as early as possible. Don’t leave homework to the last minute. 44 The earlier you start your homework, the sooner you will finish! Do all your homework as early as you can, so you don’t have a pile of (一堆) homework the next day.45 Think about how long it will take you to complete homework for each subject. For example: English-ten minutes, science-ten minutes, math-forty minutes, history-twenty minutes.Treat yourself. You can easily get tired by sitting through an hour or two of homework without stopping. Once you finish homework for a subject, take a small break (no more than 15 minutes). Either taking a walk or finding something to eat will do. But do not turn on the TV, or you’ll never go back to your study. 46A．Use your time wisely.B．Start as soon as you get home.C．Start with your hardest homework.D．Do not burn the midnight oil, either.E．Never do your homework in front of the TV.F．After short breaks, return to finish the rest of your homework.G．Keep a homework notebook where you record all your homework.五、任务型阅读It's March, 2050.Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house in the morning and switch on the bedroom computer to get the latest news. They used to read the Times, but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago.There is the usual news about space: another space flight has returned from Mars and scientists have discovered a new planet. Then they turn to business news: the Us dollar has risen greatly in Shanghai, one of the world's leading business centres. Mary tells the computer to buy 5,000 dollars, and there is a quick response that it has been done. As they watch the screen, Mary orders one of the household robots to make coffee for them. Frank disappears into the study to join a video conference with his partners around the world. He is a computer engineer, working for several companies. This is his third job: he used to be in marketing and then television. Mary has a quick look at the shopping channels—the usual selection of electric cars, household robots and cheap travel offers-before picking up the video phone to talk to her assistant. She also has a job and she is doing medical research. Both she and Frank used to have an office desk in London, but in 2023 they decided to move to the seaside and work from home.·Frank and Mary have one daughter, Louise, who also has her own workstation at home. She goes to school only one day a week, mainly to play with other students. Classrooms disappeared in 2030 because there was no longer any need for them: communications systems have made it much easier to learn at home.

I believe your fish will surely know when it is feeding time.My own fish become very 9. when my hand appears near their tank, even before I drop the food in.I'm not sure that your fish will be able to remember what your face 10. like, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it could remember you in other ways, perhaps by the sound of your footsteps as you walk towards the tank.三、话题写作舞狮(Lion Dance)是在广东地区非常流行的一种活动，学校的英文电台准备报道这一艺术形式。

"Curious，she asked her grandmother about it."That is the tradition of our family，"her grandmother explained."Every day，for generations（世代），we complete one act of kindness and take it down.No matter

behaviours.Winston Churchill noted："We shape our buildings and then our buildings shape us."Buildings and the city environment have been found to influence our general emotion and wellbeing.Architects（建筑师）have often been focused on their imagination and design above how a space may influence its residents（居住者）.However，there are a number of architects moving in a new direction，interested in creating people﹣centred building designs.Research carried out by Colin Ellard of the University of Waterloo，Canada，has found that people are often strongly affected by building plex （复杂的）and interesting appearance design influences people much more positively than simple design.Many studies have shown the value of green space and woodland in a city environment and how they can help to reduce the stress that comes with city life.The visual （视觉的）complexity of green spaces plays into Ellard's theory that the human brain prefers complex and lively environment.Another study in Iceland in 2023 found that streets which vary because of their architecture were the most emotionally pleasant.This all leads to the idea that we want variation in our environments.Another research has shown that growing up in an city environment can double a person's chance of developing problems such as worry.It shows that the stress of city life is something that needs to be considered and new spaces should be designed with stress management and wellness in mind.It would be wrong to say style isn't important.We want things which look fantastic as well as work practically，but things can go wrong and influence us negatively if style becomes more important than the building itself.Architects who want to show their skills must consider the purpose of the building.For example，schools should look bright with open spaces，green areas and comfortable corners for reading and learning.No one wants a building to create bad feelings.If we can create spaces which appeal to residents，as well as achieving their purpose，then the end result is much more satisfying and much more likely to stand the test of time.Our cities are set to grow year on year with no end in sight，so we should make sure new development s are built more with people in mind.（1）What do you know about architects from the passage？A.They are running out of creativity.B.Their stress needs to be considered.C.They have to take tests from time to time.D.Their design starts to focus on human feelings.（2）The writer probably agrees that .A.there should be more buildings in green colour in citiesB.visually complex design is more likely to create stressC.it is a must to consider the building itself and its styleD.buildings with simple appearance bring us comfort（3）The words"appeal to"in the last paragraph are closest in meaning to .A.pleaseB.houseC.shapeD.upset（4）What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage？A.To criticize architects for their great mistakes.B.To call for the people﹣centred design of buildings.C.To suggest how to make architectures emotionally pleasant.D.To stress the importance of architectures to a city environment.15．A 16﹣year﹣old boy named Li Tao lived in a small town in China.One day，while Li Tao was doing his science homework，he came up with a great idea.He worked out a way to make a new type of power supply（供应）for his town，which had a problem with its electricity supply.To make his idea come true，Li Tao began to experiment at home.He was so confident that nothing could stop him from inventing.He made and took apart many models.Even though he faced lots of challenges and failures，he didn't give up.He fixed his mistakes，changed his plans，and kept working hard.After two years of hard work，he finally succeeded.He made a small device（设备）that could change wind power into electrical power successfully.This was a new，environmentally﹣friendly way for his town's power problem.News about Li Tao's invention quickly spread around his school and town，and everyone really took pride in his achievement.The group of science﹣technology of the town decided to help him improve the invention.He was invited to give a speech to encourage other teenagers to learn more about science and be more creative in the Science and Technology Meeting.His story encourages teenagers that being young is not a barrier（阻碍）to achieve their dreams.Even a common teenager can do something amazing!（1）What was the problem of the town where Li Tao lived？A.Water pollution.B.Experiment device testing.C.Electricity supply.D.Wind power lightning protection.（2）When Li Tao faced challenges and failures，he .A.encouraged other teenagers to join himB.fixed his mistakes and kept working hardC.gave a speech and learnt more about scienceD.asked the group of science﹣technology for help（3）How did people feel after knowing Li Tao's invention？A.Excited.B.Proud.C.Confident.D.Surprised.16．We rely on our memory for sharing stories with friends or learning from our past experiences.Yet evidence shows that our memory isn't as consistent as we'd like to believe.There are countless reasons why tiny mistakes might happen each time we recall past events.And whenever these mistakes happen，they can have long﹣term effects on how we'll recall that memory in the future.Take storytelling for example.When we describe our memories to other people，we might ask ourselves whether it's important to get the facts straight，or whether we only want to make the listener laugh.And we might change the story's details depending on the listener's attitudes.It isn't only the message that changes，but sometimes it's also the memory itself.This is known as the"audience﹣tuning effect"，showing us how our memories can change automatically over time，as a product of how，when，and why we access them.In fact，sometimes simply the act of repeating a memory can be exactly what makes it easy to change.This is known as"retrieval﹣enhanced suggestibility".In a typical study of this effect，participants watched a short film，then took a memory test a few days later.But during the days between watching the film and taking the final test，two other things happened.First，half of the participants took a practice memory test.Second，all of the participants were given a description of the film to read，which contained some false details.Participants who took a practice memory test shortly before reading the false information were more likely to reproduce this false information inthe final memory test.Why might this be？One theory is that repeating our memories of past events can temporarily make those memories malleable.In other words，retrieving （找回）a memory might be a bit like taking ice﹣cream out of the freezer and leaving it in direct sunlight for a while.By the time our memory goes back into the freezer，it might have naturally become a little misshapen，especially if someone has influenced it purposely in the meantime.These findings lead us to wonder how much our most treasured memories have changed since the very first time we remembered them.Remembering is an act of storytelling，after all.And our memories are only ever as reliable as the most recent story we told ourselves.（1）The writer takes storytelling for example to prove that .A.it is impossible to change the listener's attitudesB.it is important to describe our memories directlyC.we can make other people laugh to y telling storiesD.we may change our memories according to the listener（2）What do you know about memory from the passage？A.Our memories can change our personalities.B.Our memories can correct mistakes on their own.C.We can take a practice memory test to strengthen our memories.D.We can reproduce the information while repeating our memories.（3）The word"malleable"in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to .A.reasonableB.valuableC.changeableD.controllable17．Clean electricity is the power of the future，but engineers are facing a big challenge.How can we store electricity to be used at times when the wind is not blowing and the sun is not shining？In some cases，the answer will be batteries；but in other cases，it could come from a variety of different solutions—starting with gravity.Gravity is the most abundant source of power on Earth.It's always been everywhere since the beginning of time.Nobody knew about it until around 1700，when Isaac Newton saw an apple fall from a tree in hisgarden.Newton asked himself the question："Why did that apple fall to the ground？" And he soon worked out the answer.Everything will fall to the ground if it can do so，because there is a massive force that pulls things towards the centre of the earth.Newton decided to call this force "gravity"，a word that then just meant "weight".Engineers have used gravity as a source of power for centuries，long before Newton first explained it.In particular，they used gravity to move water from one place to another to irrigate（灌溉）field s and bring water to cities.They knew that water would flow downhill，but never uphill，so they built structures to use the force of gravity most effectively.In 1907，engineers in Switzerland first used gravity for a new purpose：to store energy.They pumped（用泵抽送）water up a hill，where they stored it in a lake.Then when they needed more electricity，they let the water come back down the hill，driving electric turbines（涡轮机）as it fell.The idea was just so simple，and it is now used in many parts of the world.However，the problem is that "pumped storage" hydro schemes（抽水蓄能水电方案）can't be built just anywhere，as they need lots of water and big hills or mountains.Some experts believe that gravity systems are the cheapest way to store electricity.Gravity﹣stored electricity is maybe half the price of battery﹣stored electricity，but even so it is not cheap.In order to make gravity more effective，we would need to increase its force—and that，of course，is quite impossible.Yet gravity is not the only way of storing energy，and engineers are working on systems that store it using water pressure or compressed air...and even sand!Storage is one of the big scientific challenges of our time，as storage is the essential partner of wind power and solar power.We need clean electricity 24 hours a day，not just when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing.（1）The word "abundant" in Paragraph 2 probably means .A．expensiveB．environmentalC．famousD．plentiful（2）From the passage，we can know that .A．gravity systems are the cheapest way to store electricityB．"pumped storage" hydro schemes can be built on small hillsC．engineers in Switzerland first stored energy by using gravity creativelyD．experts have already made gravity more effective by increasing its force（3）Why does the author write this passage？A．To tell the story of finding gravity.B．To show the importance of gravity.C．To call on people to use clean electricity.D．To introduce a good way to store

No matter whether your idea of a hike is a leisure walk or climbing the highest mountain on Earth, we've got you covered. Below are four best hikes inthe world.Torres del Paine W CircuitLocation (位置): Patagonia. ChileDistance: 37 + milesTime: 5~6 daysBest time to go: October to JanuaryThe W Circuit is one of the most recommended hikes you'll find. Not only will you appreciate the diverse landscapes and striking granite pillars (花岗岩柱子), but you'll probably meet some new friends along the way.Grand Canyon Rim - to - Rim HikeLocation: Arizona, the United StatesDistance: 48 milesTime: 1~3 daysBest time to go: May to June, September to OctoberThere's no better way to experience one of the greatest wonders in the world. Located in one of the USA's most beautiful parks, the views are ly appealing. Just make sure you're prepared for the challenge.Trek to PetraLocation: JordanDistance: 47 milesTime: 5~ 6 daysBest time to go: October to AprilTake the road less traveled through the Kingdom of Jordan and experience one of the seven wonders of the world. Hike through canyons, gorges and ridges, and see tombs and temples along the way all while avoidingcrowds of tourists.Yosemite Grand TraverseLocation: California, the United StatesDistance: 60 milesTime: 6~7 daysBest time to go: July to SeptemberKnown for some of the best hiking in the world, Yosemite National Park is famous for its views and huge sequoia (红杉) trees. Praised byNational Geographic, the Yosemite Grand Traverse will take you through waterfalls and green mountaintops.1.Which of the following is the best time for the hike in Patagonia, Chile?A.AprilB.MayC.AugustD.December2.Where should you go for a less crowded hike?A.JordanB.Patagonia, ChileC.Arizona, the United StatesD.California, the United States3.What can you do along the Yosemite Grand Traverse?A.Plant sequoia treesB.Appreciate waterfallsC.Visit local templesD.Climb granite pillarsBSome years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe.I had been abroad a couple of times, but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation system？It seemed impossible, and with considerable regret. Suddenly a thought ran through my mind: you can't learn if you don't try. So I accepted the assignment.There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since, I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places, without guides or even advanced bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.The point is that the new, along with the different, is almost scary by definition. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.I've learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I'll go on doing such things. It'snot because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not. But I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.4. The author accepted the assignment because_________.A. he had never travelled abroad beforeB. he hardly knew any foreign languagesC. he was familiar with any other country in EuropeD. he would learn something new and different by trying5. Which of the following statements is TRUE？A. The author had been abroad only twice.B. The author thought the trip was hard but worthwhile.C.

Ready to Try and ChallengeD. How to Be Daring and Brave.C8. The five passes all include ________.A. a dinner cruiseB. a magic showC. a city tourD. a trolley ride9. Accordingto the rules and restrictions, ________.A. visitors can return their ticketsB. reservations cannot be cancelledC. passes cannot be shared among usersD. users can visit attractions more than once10.

In which section of a newspaper would you most likely find this advertisement?A. Leisure & TravelB. Health & BeautyC. Restaurants & FoodD. Sports & EntertainmentDMany Americans experience surprise (or disappointment) when they wake up on Christmas Day. They might be surprised or disappointed by a family member’s actions. They might be happy or unhappy about a Christmas gift. Imagine a child expects to get an Xbox or PlayStation for Christmas. On Christmas morning, they quickly open their gift. Inside is an English grammar book. They might feel disappointed. The Everyday Grammar team would prefer the new English grammar book. But if you are like most young people, you would probably rather have a new video game.Today, we are going to explore those feelings-feelings of surprise and disappointment. In other words, we are going to explore how speakers show that reality was better or worse than their expectations.Many languages use words to express expectation. Speakers also use words to express how events are not happening as expected. This idea is known as “counter expectation”.Do not worry about the term. Just remember that it means that speakers use words to show that reality is countering their expectations.English has many words that serve this purpose. Three of the most common are the words “even”, “still” and “actually”. You will often hear them in informal, everyday speech. Speakers use these words to show disappointment. The pitch of their voice tells you what they mean. Let’s study examples of each word.Speakers often use the word "even” to show disappointment or surprise. Imagine a young child that expects a phone call from a family member-perhaps an uncle or grandparent. The phone call never comes. The child might say the following: “What’s wrong with him? He didn’t even call me on Christmas day.” Americans sometimes use “still” for showing how reality does not quite meet their expectations: “You’re still here? It’s over! Go home. Go!” Another common word that shows surprise or disappointment is “actually”: “I can’t believe it! Uncle Bob actually stole her Christmas gift.”12. What might most young Americans prefer as a Christmas gift according to paragraph 1?A. A newly made video game.B. An English grammar book.C. A new designed school bag.D. A unique jacket from their parents.13. What does the underlined phrase “counter expectation” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Expression of disappointment.B. Something expected to happen.C. The same with one’s expectation.D. A result against what is expected.14. What do the three words “even”, “still” and “actually” have in common?A. They are easy to understand.B. They express disappointment.C. They show delighted feelings.D. They are used most at Christmas.15. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?A. Expectations from loved ones.B. Different uses of the three words.C. Examples of the use of the three words.D. Emotions of disappointment and surprise.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

7 Ways to Open a New Page in Your Life重获新生的7个方法Nowadays you’re living in the world of constant movement. It seems there’re millions of things and possibilities that can make you happier, but sometimes it’s very difficult to screw your courage up and open a new page in your life. You may feel paralyzed, because you simply don’t know what you want to be. Unfortunately, various fears and diffidence usually make you lose the best opportunities and chances. Consequently, you become despondent and limited, because it’s hard to keep hope alive when your world is falling apart.现在你生活在不断变化的世界中，这里似乎有无数个使你更加快乐的可能，但是有时候你就是难以鼓起勇气，翻开生活的新篇章。
你可能感觉麻痹，因为你偏偏不知道自己想要的是什么。
不幸的是，各式各样的恐惧、羞怯让你错失最好的机遇。
到头来，你意志消沉，四处碰壁。
在你的世界破碎的时候，很难保持希望。
Remember that this world belongs to you and you’re free to enjoy life and express yourself the way you like. The main point is to turn your energies to think more positively and get ready to start a new life. New life can bring you more inspiration to move on and develop in every possible way. I’m sure that people around you will appreciate your efforts and eagerness to change something in your life for better. I hope this article will broaden your outlook and inspire you to make considerable changes.记住，世界属于你，你可以随心所欲地享受生活，以自己喜欢的方式来表达自己。
重要的一点是你把精力投入到积极思考和为开始新生活做准备上去。
新生活可以让你更有动力前进，以各种可能的方式发展。
我相信你周围的人们会欣赏你对更好的生活的渴望以及为之所做出的努力。
我希望这篇文章可以扩展你的视野，激励你做出一些重大改变。
1. Analyze your present life分析现在的生活Don’t waste your time dreaming that your life will change for better by itself. If you’re not satisfied with your life and want to move to a new stage, then it’s high time to make the first step in the process of your life improvement. To my mind, deep analysis of your present life is one of the most important things you should start from. It will help you understand the source of the issue and weigh all pros and cons.不要浪费时间做白日梦，以为生活会自己变得更好。
如果你对现在的生活不满意，想要走到人生的新阶段，那么是时候走出提升生活的第一步了。
在我看来，你应该从深入分析现在的生活开始，这是最重要的事情之一。
它能够帮助你找到问题的根源，权衡所有的利弊。
I don’t know about you, but when I face some problem or an inner conflict, I try t o identify the issue and figure out a strategy on how to handle the situation. It usually takes me much time and efforts, but the success of your future actions depends on this first step.我不知道你是怎么样做的，但是当我面对某个难题或者是内心矛盾的时候，我会试着找到矛盾，想出一个处理这种情况的策略。
这通常花费我不少时间和精力，但是你未来行动的成功依赖于这第一步。
2. Listen to your heart倾听内心的声音When it comes to your life, you’d better try to find courage to follow your intuition. If you live in tune with your heart, you’ll be able to elicit your potential and do things you adore. Your mind’s function is to keep you safe and fill your life with logical decisions. I’m sure that every person has a great number of passions and desires hidden deeply in their heart. Don’t let your individual nature get lost in fears and prohibitions. Moreover, try to take important life decisions on your own, because the noise of other peoples’ opinions can totally confuse you. Only your heart knows the truth about your passions. It’s extremely difficult to ignore the common sense and listen to your heart. Take up a challenge and you’ll have a chance to do things you love.在生活中，你最好鼓起勇气追随你的直觉。
如果跟随你的心声而生活，你能够更好地发挥潜能，做你真正想做的事。
你的理智会给你安全感，让你在生活中做出符合逻辑的决定。
我相信每个人都有许多深藏内心的热情和向往。
不要让你的本性迷失在恐惧和禁令之中。
还有，试着自己做人生的重大决定，因为别人的观点会像噪音一样让你完全迷失自我。
只有你自己的心知道你真正的激情所在。
忽视常规，听从内心，这一点极其困难。
迎接挑战吧，你将有机会从事你真正热爱的事。
3. Don’t fear to start from nothing不要畏惧从零开始If you’ve already decided what you want to be and what you would like to change, then you should be ready to make a startup out of nothing. First of all, you need to overcome the fear of uncertainty, then try to focus on your personal achievements and skills, because they’re an inevitable part of your future success. Realize that everyone in this world starts from a place of nothing. A new start in life provides you with a possibility to fill your world with the colors you like.如果你早已下定决心自己想干什么以及想做出什么样的改变，那么你应该做好心理准备从零开始。
首先，你必须克服对于未知的恐惧，然后试着将精力集中到个人的成就和技能上来，因为这是你未来成功不可避免的一部分。
要知道世界上的每个人都是从一无所有开始的。
新生活的开始让你有可能为你的世界抹上你钟意的色彩。
Unfortunately, many people don’t believe in themselves and find themselves un able to build something out of nothing. Consequently, they’re not ready to meet the challenges of life. I believe that you’re strong enough to start something new and succeed in it, because every person is a winner.可惜很多人不相信自己，觉得自己不能白手起家。
他们没有做好迎接生活挑战的准备。
我相信你足够坚强，可以开始新的旅程，并且取得成功，因为每个人都是赢家。
4. Challenge yourself挑战自己I hope you’ve already understood what’s wrong in your life and you know what you want to do. If you’re not afraid to start from nothing, then it’s high time to move to the next step. After a considerable reflection on your life, you should start challenging yourself. Don’t fear to leave your comfort zone and move in different directions, otherwise you’ll never see any positive change.我希望你已经了解生活中的问题，知道你想做的是什么。
