C What's the most important thing for you to have in your life? Somebody mentions hard work; others suggest knowledge, love and luck. If you arrange(排列)the 26 English letters in order and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c. . . 26 for z, you can change an English word into a number. So hard work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98，meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96;love:12+15+22+5=54, and luck: 12+21+3+11=47，a small mark.

See for yourself : attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark. Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most time people hope for a better life. It is possible that they will have a better life if they change their attitudes. When you change your manner and become friendly toward others, you'll meet more smiling faces toward you. In the same way, if you take a positive attitude toward failure, you'll find it's also rewarding(有益的)though it has caused you losses(损失). 52.The writer thinks__________is the most important thing in a person's life.

They wear blue, red or yellow helmets (头盔) and many of them don’t follow traffic rules. They drive on the wrong side of the road and run red lights. They use mobile phones while driving. These rude behaviors have caught the public’s attention. In the first half of 2017, food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau. That means every two and a half days, a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road. What makes deliverymen take such risks? The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the anxious customers may be the answer. Many companies will fine(罚款) a deliveryman up to 2,000 yuan, if he fails to deliver an order on time, reported China Daily. Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers. To solve the problem, food delivery service companies need to improve their praising systems. Some cities are also taking action. Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety. Now in Shenzhen, if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice then he will be stopped from driving food service delivery transports for a whole year. 86．How many car accidents did food deliverymen in Shanghai cause in the first half of 2017? _________________________________________________________________ 87．Why do the deliverymen take the risk of their lives to break traffic rules? _________________________________________________________________ 88．If you don’t receive your order on time, will you complain to the delivery service company? Why or why not? _________________________________________________________________ ( 第 6 页 共 10 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
