21、To a large degree,the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment . In spite of what happened yesterday or last year,and what may or may not happen tomorrow,the present moment is where you are-always!
Without question,many of us have mastered the neurotic (神经兮兮的)art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things-all at once.We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments,so much that we end up anxious,frustrated depressed,and hopeless.On the other hand,we also delay our happiness,often convincing ourselves that “someday” will be much better than today.Unfortunately,the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward to the future will only repeat themselves so that “someday”never actually arrives.John Lennon once said,“Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans.”When we are busy making“ other plans”, our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape,and our dreams are slipping away.In short,we miss out on life.
Many people live as if life were dress rehearsal for some late date.It isn't.In fact,no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow.Now is the only time we have,and the only time that we have any control over.When our attention is in the present moment,we push fear from our minds.Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future-we won't have enough money,our children will
get into trouble,we will get old and die,whatever.
To combat fear,the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present.Mark Twain said,“I have been through some terrible things in my life,some of which actually happened.”I don't think I can say it any better.Practice keeping your attention on here and now.Your efforts will pay off .

A. depend B. deserve
C. determine D. defeat
【4】The best title of this passage is .
A. Always live in the present moment B. Never forget the past
C. Never complain about life D. Always get prepared for the future
22、For more and more young Chinese professionals, the first day back at work after the Lunar New Year holiday is the day they quit.
The period after the Lunar New Year holiday, also known as Spring Festival, often sees Chinese workers on the move. This year, the number looking for new opportunities is supposed to be especially high.
Mr. Zhu, a 27-year-old Beijing native, is one of the young workers looking for a better deal. “Salary is a big concern for me and I need a job that pays more, and my department can’t provide good career development for me,” he said.
An online survey by Zhaopin.com, a leading job-hunting website, provides further details on why China’s young white-collar workers are so keen to move on.
Low salaries are the biggest concern for 62% of the job-hunters, and overtime and a wide mismatch between low salaries and high housing costs are also the complaints. Two-thirds of them said they had to work at home after office hours, and a full 95% said they felt they were under heavy pressure because of the housing payment or rent.
The survey also found that what was seen as a “good job” has changed. For the generation born in the 1970s, high salary and status is the key. For the generation born after 1980, work-life balance and respect in the office are also important.
Zhao Bin, a 28-year-old woman who earns over 7,000 yuan a month working at a public relations company in Shanghai, said she would wait until the Lunar New Year to change her job. “My salary is OK for me, but I am working like crazy. So I want to find something comfortable, like being an English teacher in training schools.”

23、In 2021, fresh out of high school, I had difficulty in choosing a major before college. With only two options left, I was in deep dilemma. My uncle, an influential person in the family, suggested that I should do a work placement to gain experience for a month in a bank followed by a month in a hospital so that I could make a decision. It seemed like a brilliant idea.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. While hospital was full of excitement, the training was challenging. It seemed that the bank was going to win out.
Then one day when I was driving home from the hospital, I witnessed a terrible accident. Two cars crashed, causing a boy lying motionless in the middle of the road. People gathered around him but no one could really help. As a matter of fact, I wanted to keep going and ignored it, but the urge to stop and help was stronger. I got out of my car and tried to stop his bleeding but didn’t succeed. With the help of some bystanders, I lifted his unconscious body into the back seat of my car, and rushed him to the hospital. The next day, the doctor introduced me as “the person who saved your son’s life” to the boy’s parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. Everyone got up, with grateful smiles on their faces. The boy, now managed a smile though unable to speak.
What a feeling it was to help save the life of another person! I spent the rest of the day in a state of excitement. Driving home that evening, I knew what I would prefer for the rest of my life.
