My First Job

I’ll never forget the first day of my first job.【1】. The company sold carpets and floor tiles (地板砖)and I had several shops in the area. I started work at 8:00 on Monday morning and made my first mistake at 8:05. I hadn’t driven that type of van before. I let too much petrol into the engine . So I had to wait for twenty minutes. 【2】 .

I drove to one house to deliver a carpet. There was a problem, though. When I looked in the back of the van, the carpet wasn’t there. Then I remembered the boss had told me to collect the carpet from another shop. I’d forgotten to do that. I drove to the shop in the next town. 【3】. All the shops are closed on Monday afternoons. I would have to call again the next day instead.

【4】 . When I arrived at the next house, I opened the doors of the van at the back. A heavy box

of tiles fell out onto my foot. Ooooooww! I jumped up and down the street on one leg. It was very painful! I was able to walk on one and a half feet up to the house with the box of tiles.

The afternoon was getting very hot. I hadn’t eaten or drunk anything and didn’t have any water in the car. When I went through the next town, I met a traffic jam. 【5】. Two hours later, I got to the last shop. It was 6’clock. What a bad day!

24、Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流) . Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way—by studying movements of random (随意的) floating garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.

Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn’t. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.

The Pacific Northwest is one of the world’s best areas for beachcombing (海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.

As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.

【1】The underlined phrase “swap meets” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.

C．business talks

D．group meetings

【2】Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _______.

A．what caused the shipping accident

B．when and where the shoes went missing

C．whether it was all right to use their shoes

D．how much they lost in the shipping accident

【3】How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption(假设)?

A．By collecting information from beachcombers.

B．By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.

C．By searching the web for ocean currents models.

D．By researching ocean currents data in the library.

【4】Ebbesmeyer is most famous for _______.

A．traveling widely the coastal cities of the world

B．making records for any lost objects on the sea

26、   French artist Claude Monet put the last 30 years of his life to water lilies .He built a huge lily pond (池塘)in his garden and painted it again and again ,at all times of day ,to try to catch the changing effect (效果）of sunlight on the flowers and water .

This picture shows the pond in the soft light of morning. Painted with free ,swirling brushstroke (旋转的笔法)，and lines and touches of  unblended color ,it creates a brave impression (印象) —so brave, you might not even realize it's a lily pond at first .

This huge picture is one of a series (系列) showing the lily pond from morning to evening. Monet created the series during the First World War ,perhaps because he wanted to run away from the fear of the times .The day after the war ended ,he gave the series to the French nation—a set of peaceful scene ,to celebrate the new peace .

27、What does success mean? Is it becoming famous, rich, coming up with an idea that changes people’s lives, or helping others and feeling happy?

People who have a billion dollars, for example, are they successful? Why don’t they stop trying to make money then? Why would they possibly need more than a billion dollars? They try to make more because there will never be enough . They will never be happy enough.

If all that you’re working for is money, you will do terrible things to get it. If all that you want is a successful business, you will cheat people to get it . If all that you want is fame(名声)，you will give up your dignity to achieve it .

What’s the real success? For me, being rich or famous is not all to life. I might have a lot of readers now on Zen Habits, but I don’t feel that’s what makes me a success. I’ve been a success even when I had no readers, because I was doing what I loved. Even when no one else would have called me a successful man. I loved writing, and I was happy. Success isn’t about achieving something in the future, but about doing something right now that you love.

So, forget about success, and just find joy and love right now, in this moment. That is a success you can achieve, without any method. Just go out and do it.

【1】Some people don’t stop making money because_____

A. they want to change their lives

B. making money can make them very happy
