Kathy: Welcome to the Transnational Hotel. What can I do for you?
Mr Sanders: My name is Tom Sanders. I have a reservation for a single
room for three nights.
Kathy: Alright, Mr Sanders. Let me pull up your reservation. I cant
seem to find a record of your booking. Did you book the room

a travel agent?
Mr Sanders: I booked it directly through you. I also have already paid a deposit(订金)

Mr Sanders: Well. . .
Kathy: But thats not a problem. I can upgrade you to one of our
business suites.
Mr Sanders: Oh! That sounds nice. But how much more is it going to
cost?
Kathy: That would of course be at no extra charge to you.

Rachel stared up at the clouds. One looked like a tree. One
looked like a Ferris wheel(摩天轮). The sand was hot under her skin.
Everything was silent except for the ocean. She sat up and thought,
“How long will I be stranded(困住) on this deserted island?”
Rachel had been out sailing, when her boat hit a rock and sprung a leak(裂缝).
In order to keep alive, she had to abandon the ship. She tried her best to swim to
land. Finally, she crawled onto the shore. With an empty stomach, she searched the
island for something to eat, but found nothing but coconuts and squirrels. She hated the
idea of one day having to eat the cute squirrels, but shed have to eat if she wanted to
stay alive. For the last month, she has eaten nothing but coconuts.
Every night she lit a fire hoping a ship would see it and rescue her. So far she has
been lucky. Because there were no wild animals on the island to threaten her life, she
had made herself a bed out of leaves and branches. On her 45th day she saw a ship.
She hurried to start a fire and shouted for help. Luckily, people on the ship heard her,
and soon the ship came and Rachel was saved. Since then Rachel never went sailing
again.

Have you ever met large changes in life and work? How would you feel in most
cases? In fact, we all have to go through the grief cycle(悲伤周期), which has the
following periods:
The first period: “It cant be happening. ”
Anger: “Why me? Its not fair. ”
Depression: “Im so sad. Why do I have to do all of these?”
Acceptance: “Its going to be OK. ”
Im honestly not sure how scientific this model is, but I certainly believe that you
will work better after going through these major changes.

What does being angry do for you? Think back to the situation where you have
been angry at work and ask yourself how it influences you, including: your relationship
with co-workers, the quality of your work and health, how you feel outside of work,
your relationship with friends and family.
Find out what makes you angrier and less angry.
What makes you angrier? Which thoughts, situations, people or conversations set
you off? And what makes you less angry? Im sure you are not angry all the time.
13. Find out. Then start doing less of what makes you angry and more of the
things that cool you down.
Focus on gratitude(感谢) .
14. As I mentioned above, anger is part of the grief cycle which is
connected with what you lose. Gratitude is the opposite of loss because it comes from
the good things you have in your life. Its simple. Every evening sit down with a piece
of paper and make two gratitude lists: three things I was grateful for at work today;
three things I was thankful for in life today.
Change your focus from “What was done to me” to “What I can do” .
I know this is the basic piece of all self-help advice. 15. You must take
responsibility for your own situation, rather than be a victim(牺牲品) of it. That kind
of advice can get pretty boring. But that doesnt make it less true.

阅读下面短文,根据短文后的要求答题。
Dust is very small pieces of the earth or other matter. It floats in
the air. And it gets everywhere. Inside, it covers our floors,
belongings, and other surfaces. Outside, it covers things as well. A
small wind can blow dust into our eyes and mouth. When we drive a car on dry ground,
it can create a dust cloud.
That is we have the expression “eat my dust” . It means you are ahead
of someone. They are behind you and must deal with the dust you have made.
Sometimes, we also say “watch my dust” . This means you are so sure of winning that
you are telling others they will lose. We often use these expressions to talk about a race
or a competition. However, if something bites the dust, it has failed. To bite the dust
can mean suffering defeat. It can also mean something comes to an early end or is no
longer useful. For example, if my old car dies on a long road trip, I can say my car bit
the dust.
Our last “dust” expression is “when the dust settles” . In a dust storm, it is very
difficult to see. When the dust settles, you can finally see clearly. So, we use this
expression to talk about the calm and clarity that comes after a big change or time of
confusion. We often use it as advice or a warning. It is often a good idea to wait for a
situation to calm down before making a big decision.
For example, lets say you are moving to a new city and changing jobs. You will
be very busy. So, you can tell your friends that you will contact them when the dust
settles. In other words, you will contact them when things calm down.

One possible version:
With the development of technology, paper
books are no longer the only choice for people. In
recent years, reading e-books has become more and
more popular.
As for me, I prefer reading paper books to
e-books. Thats because the special flavour of books
makes me more calm. And I can make notes on
paper. Besides, reading paper books is less harmful
to my eyes than e-books.
Reading good books is like having good
teachers. It is reading that makes me wise and full
of knowledge. Whats more, reading can also
broaden my horizon. As the old saying goes, “ A
book holds a house of gold. ” I believe that I can
benefit a lot through reading.
