How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow?【1】We have to go for them now!·Tomorrow is not promised.Nobody likes to talk about death, but everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day or the hour.【2】Don't go to your tomb with unrealized dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.·【3】One of the biggest dream killers is fear. Many people could have achieved amazing things if only they weren't afraid. Just think about all the things you've wanted to do, but allowed fear to convince you that you weren't capable, or good enough. Fear is not real. It is a product of thoughts you create. Choose not to let fear stop you from achieving your dreams.·Take action to realize your dream.You can dream about writing a great play but it's never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure.【4】·Possibilities are waiting on you.There are so many amazing opportunities and people waiting on you. How do you get to them? Simple! Follow your dream.【5】You'll never see those doors if you sit around waiting on a dream to happen, instead of actually working to make it happen.

F．You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody can copy.
G．You'll be much happier if you go for it.
22、THE TIME MACHINE
It was at ten o’clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last check, and sat myself in the leather seat. I pushed the starting lever (操纵杆) on the main panel forwards an inch then immediately backwards again. Looking around, I saw my laboratory exactly as before. Had anything happened? I thought my mind had tricked me. Then I saw the clock. A moment before, it was a minute or so past ten; now it nearly half past three!
I drew a breath, gripped(紧握) the lever and pushed it forwards. The laboratory went hazy around me. My niece came in to fetch something, maybe her handkerchief, apparently without seeing me. It probably took her a minute, but to me she moved like a rocket! I pushed the lever further. Night came as if a lamp was being turned out, and in another moment came the day. Tomorrow night came, then skipped to day, again and again, faster and faster still.
It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling. It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road. As my pace grew faster, the walls of the laboratory fell away, and I was left in the open air. The sun and moon looked as if they were being thrown across the sky, but soon there was division between night and day. Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of smoke; they grew, spread, and died in moments. I saw huge buildings rise up, then disappear like in a dream. The whole surface of the earth was being changed, melting and flowing before my eyes. I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute.
I had a strong urge to look at the random things that were being flashed before my eyes! I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times. So long as I travelled at maximum speed, it didn't matter. But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb! Like an impatient fool, I pulled the lever backwards hard. With a sudden jolt, the Time Machine was flipped on its side, and I was thrown through the air.
I was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound of thunder. I was sitting in the rain in some mud next to the machine. “A fine welcome,” I said, “for a man who has travelled thousands of years to be here!”
(Adapted from the novel The Time Machine written by H.G.Wells, a novelist famous for the science fiction)

24、 There’s a lot of anxiety around how young people, particularly teenagers, use the internet but new research by Talk Talk suggests some of these fears may be emphasized too much.
In a recent study, 2,000 young people aged 13-16 year olds and the parents of the same teenagers, were interviewed about their attitudes to technology and loneliness. The teens were mainly optimistic about technology and its uses. Over half (71 percent) said that during times when they felt lonely, tech provided a solution to their loneliness such as enabling them to make new friends, receive support and advice, as well as read positive comments online.
However, social media was regarded as a cause for feeling lonely by 12 percent of teens, who said they felt lonely because they didn’t have many friends on social media.
When it comes to the parents, on the other hand, it demonstrated that there is an education gap between worrying about the internet, and knowing what to do about it.
For instance, 70 percent of parents worry bout their teens using the internet, but 65 percent said they did not limit the hours their teen spends using social media and tech, and 70 percent reported they don’t use parent protection controls and software. Around 37 percent said they feel ill-equipped or unsure about how to manage their teens online.
It seems like when it comes to teens on the internet, the main issue is with the parents not understanding what they’re doing. Research by Oxford University academics found there was little evidence between screen time and mental health in teenagers. The study used a mixture of self-reporting techniques as well as time-use diaries.
The research reflected another study earlier this year by the same academics that found technology use explains at most 40 percent of adolescent wellbeing (幸福安乐).
We’re still learning about how things like social media impact our health and wellbeing, but at least in this instance, it demonstrates that the Generation Z’s digital understanding nature means they may have more of a hold on tech and its effects than their parents do.
If you are a parent and worrying about your child’s screentime use, security company Norton has put together a handy guide on how to manage it, such as setting limits on screen time, and talk about the risks of sharing private information on social media.
【1】What does the author want to illustrate with the example in Paragraph 5?
A.Parents are concerned about their teens using the Internet.
B.Parents are irresponsible for not controlling their teens’ using the Internet.
C.Parents should have a stronger control over the management of their teens using the internet.
D.Parents lack the strategies of handling their teens using the Internet despite their deep concerns.
【2】The author refers to another earlier study in order to ________.
A.show that the finding of this earlier study is contrary to that of the recent one
B.prove that at least two studies are needed before drawing a sound conclusion
C.support that technology use doesn’t have so much to do with teens’ wellbeing
D.illustrate that technology use has a significant influence on teens’ wellbeing
【3】Which shares the closest meaning to the words underlined?
A.Control B.Weakness.
C.Affection. D.Addiction.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.Technology, a hell for teens! B.Technology, a must for teens!
C.Technology, a help to teens! D.Technology, a two-edged sword for teens!
