26、 Are you feeling empty? If so, you are not alone. Actually, it’s a common occurrence for many of us to feel empty in various ways. For instance, you might feel empty as something is missing in your life. Or the emptiness might stem from slowly abandoning yourselves, and not listening to your own hopes and desires. Abandoning yourselves can also spark anxiety, depression, guilt and shame. 【1】 Here are several suggestions to help you out.
Acknowledge the emptiness. If you’re experiencing emptiness that’s more like a gaping hole, acknowledge it, and be gentle with yourself. 【2】 If this emptiness is because of a loved one’s passing, don’t get angry with yourself for grieving years later. In that case you learn to live life alongside that hole of missing that person.
Explore your feelings of emptiness. Scientists suggested exploring the below questions. We can do this while keeping a journal, taking a walk or drinking a cup of tea.
*Do I tell myself positive things?
*What am I trying to prove or win?
*【3】
*Am I blaming myself for things that are out of my control?
【4】 Fight the urge to turn to the outside world for fulfillment. Instead of trying to fill the emptiness with drugs, alcohol, TV, computer games or anything else, look within, and spend time with yourself. It may feel uncomfortable at first, but the more you practise devoting time and energy to yourself and caring for yourself, the less present those empty feelings will be.
【5】 Whether you are experiencing difficult relationships, losses, or feeling a lack of purpose or meaning, you are worthy of a fulfilling and meaningful life.
A.Control your current feelings.
B.Spend time with yourself every day.
C.How do you handle your emptiness?
D.Don’t beat yourself up for feeling this way.
E.Have I been judging myself or comparing myself to others?
F.It’s important to acknowledge and accept your feelings of emptiness.
G.Do you spend too much time on filling your emptiness?
27、Strange things happen to time now and then when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones (areas), one hour apart. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours. And weeks with more or fewer than seven days.
If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Travelling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-four or twenty-three hours.
If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar (日历) one full day, backwards or forwards. Travelling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow!
【1】Which of the following should be chosen as the title of this passage?

28、Most people have never heard of Tim Berners Lee. He is not nearly as rich or famous as Marc Andreessen, who is the founder (创办者) of Netscape, or Bill Gates, whose name has become a well known word.
Berners Lee, who works in a small office at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the creator of the World Wide Web. The creation of the Web is so important that some people compare (比较) Berners Lee to Johann Gutenberg, who invented printing by movable type (活字) in the fifteenth century.
Berners Lee was born in England in 1955. His parents, who helped design the world's first commercially (商业地) computer, gave him a great love of mathematics and learning. In 1980, Berners Lee went to work at CERN, a physics laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, where he had a lot of material to learn quickly. Now that he had a poor memory for facts, he wanted to find a way to help him keep track of things he couldn't remember. He invented a software program that allowed him to create a document that had links to other documents. He continued to develop his idea through the 1980s. He wanted to find a way to connect the knowledge and creativity of people all over the world.
In 1991, his project became known as the World Wide Web. The number of Internet users started to grow quickly. However, Berners Lee is not completely happy with the way the Web has developed. He thinks it has become a passive (消极的) tool for so many people, not the tool for creativity that he had imagined.

29、Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office. "The railway owes me $12, " she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. "You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me $12. “
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. "Come into the office, Madam, "he said politely. "I'll check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd."
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake?

"I'm four, "the child said proudly. "I'll be four and a half. "

"Er, well", "the woman looked at the child." I mean … she hasn't started school yet. She's only four. "
"A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child's return ticket to Jersey costs' "let me see … $ 13. 5. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe $1. 5. The law is law, but since the fault (过错) was mine…".
