Well,why not turn envy on its head,and make it the encouragement you need for self improvement?The best weapon against envy is not to compete where you can’t shine,but to do your absolute best where you can.
Start by making peace with yourself,and accept the gifts which make you unique.Make an agreement with yourself to be the best you can be.Then find out exactly the circumstances and qualities in others that start your envy.Is it someone’s singing voice,their work promotion,or their new car?Envy shows us the things we’d like to have,so make a plan to earn what’s important to you.Sign up for a night class.Start a training program.Give up a treat or two,and start saving for what you want.
解析:考查细节明白得。依照Be a Golden Globetrotter!部份中的“Travel to 5 countries in 5 weeks”可知答案。

感顿市安乐阳光实验学校课时跟踪练(一) Warm-up & Lesson 1— Pre-readingⅠ.阅读理解AZipped (用拉链拉上或扣上) into a bag, it looks like a large umbrella.Unfolded, it goes along the street like any other bicycle.It's the “A­bike”, the brainchild (脑力劳动的产物) of British inventor Sir Clive Sinclair, who made history in the 1970s by developing the world's first pocket calculator.He described his new invention as “the world's smallest, lightest foldable bicycle”.“My original thought was that if you could have a bicycle that was dramatically lighter and more firm than the ones that exist today, it would change the way in which bicycles are used,” said Sinclair.The mini­bike, showed in Singapore last week and set to go on sale worldwide at a price of nearly $300, is built for riders as heavy as 112 kilograms and is height­adjustable (可调整高度的). It takes about 20 seconds to fold or unfold.Its wheels are a quarter the size of those on a regular bicycle, but Sinclair promises a smooth ride for most cyclists.“You require no extra energy to ride the ‘A­bike’ and it can go up to 15 miles per hour (24 kilometres per hour),” he said. Constructed mainly of plastic, the 5.5­kilogram bicycle folds into a package of less than 0.03 cubic metres.Sinclair also invented the first pocket TV in 1984 and the futuristic C5 electric tricycle in 1985. He said he hoped the bicycle would attract common citizens, officials, campers or anyone needing transport for a short trip and he said the next step for the “A­bike” was to add an electric motor in a few years.语篇解读:普通的自行车人人都见过,可是你见过折叠以后像伞一样的自行车吗?现在有人发明了这种自行车。

高中英语 Unit 9 Wheels Section Ⅰ Warm-up  Lesson 1—Pre

Unit 9 WheelsNowadays more and more families own private cars.Private cars, as the product of modern civilization,have been playing a vital role in people's dailyactivities. First, private cars are a convenient meansof transport. You can drive wherever you like. Second,there is no doubt that private cars will have a greatimpact on the economic growth . The rapid developmentof car industry will contribute much to keeping thecountry's economy growing at a higher rate in the nearfuture.But every coin has two sides.The rapid developmentof private cars will bring about a series of problems.For example, the waste air given off by cars will dogreat harm to our health, too many private cars will leadto traffic jams and a great deal of energy will bewasted.So I think we should take advantage of private carsand make them serve us better. Meantime I hope thatsatisfactory solutions to these negative problemswill be found soon.Section_ⅠWarm­up__&_Lesson_1_—_Pre­reading[原文呈现]Return of the white bikes!People have been enjoying① the benefits② of cycling in Amsterdam③ for years. It is a good city for cycling because it is flat④ and therefore⑤ is convenient⑥for bikes. There are also plenty of places for bicycle parking⑦ and most streets in the city centre have a bicycle path. Today some people call Amsterdam the “City of Bicycles” because of the convenience⑧ for bicycles there.In the 1960s, a group of cycling fans had an idea. They believed that it would be better for everybody if cars weren't allowed⑨in the city centre and only bicycles were.They were hopeful⑩ that this would help to save energy, reduce pollution and provide⑪ free public transport. The group painted⑫ hundreds of⑬ bicycles white and placed⑭ them in lots of neighbourhoods⑮ around Amsterdam for people to use. Anyone was allowed to take them and use them for short journeys. Wherever⑯ someone finished a journey they would leave the bike there for someone else⑰ to use. The problem was that it didn't work⑱—thieves⑲ took all the bicycles within weeks![读文清障]①have been enjoying是现在完成进行时。

inventions that change society or,at least,make life easier for somebody?Perhaps we all do sometimes,but we don’t often make the idea a reality.Recently,in Britain,there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow.The competition encourages young people to carry out their bright ideas.There were two groups in the contest:Group One was for schoolchildren under 16;Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16,and there were eleven prize­winners altogether.Neil Hunt,one of the prize­winners,was called “Sunshine Superman”.It’s important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately.We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is.Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight.Neil’s is more accurate and this is very important for research into the way of using solar power.You can do so much with animated carto on.Look at Simon West’s idea for animated road signs.He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them.This isn’t a new idea.But it is new to use these pictures on road signs.“We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon.So now,you can really see rocks falling,trains moving,horses running or a car falling over the edge of a cliff.Quite a warning!The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesn’t ask more schoolchildren for suggestions.Perhaps this will be thestart of “pupil power!”1.The writer seems to be encouraging the British industry to ________.A.help schoolchildren in their studiesB.take better care of schoolchildrenC.stop asking schoolchildren for suggestionsD.pay more attention to schoolchildren’s inventive power2.Neil Hunt’s design would finally lead to the improvement of the way of ________.A.recording direct sunshineB.knowing how strong sunlight isC.using the energy of the sunD.recording the hours of sunshine3.The organizers of the competition hoped the schoolchildren would ________.A.become good designers for future BritainB.win as many prizes as they couldC.design something useful for the next dayD.invent something for immediate use4.What’s the use of Simon West’s animated road signs?A.To add to the beauty of a city.B.To warn people on the roads of the danger ahead.C.To help make a car trip more exciting.D.To warn people to be careful while working.5.The writer holds that people seldom ________.A.make their life easierB.turn their bright ideas into realityC.have bright ideasD.think of inventing somethingBAs prices and building costs keep rising,the “do­it­yourself” (DIY) trend in the U.S.continues to grow.“We needed fu rniture for our living room,” says John Ross,“and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it.So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.”John got married six months ago,and like many young people these days,they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high.The Rosses took a 2­week course for $280 at a night school.Now they build all their furniture and make repairsaround the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died.He has a full­time job at home as well as in a shoemaking st month,he received a car repair bill for $420.“I was deeply upset about it.Now I’ve finished a car repair course,I should be able to fix the car by myself.”John and Jim are not unusual people.Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money,so they can fight the high cost of living.If you want to become a “do­it­yourselfer”,you can go to DIY classes.And for those who don’t have time to take a course,there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.6.We can learn from the text that many newly married people ________.A.find it hard to pay for what they needB.have to learn to make their own furnitureC.take DIY courses run by the governmentD.seldom go to a department store to buy things7.John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to ________.A.run a DIY shopB.make or repair thingsC.save time and moneyD.improve the quality of life8.When the writer says that Jim has a full­time job at home,he means Jim ________.A.makes shoes in his homeB.does extra work at nightC.does his own car and home repairsD.keeps house and looks after his children9.Jim Hatfield decided to become a “do­it­yourselfer” when ________.A.his car repair costs too muchB.the car repair class was not helpfulC.he could not possibly do two jobsD.he had to raise the children all by himself10.What would be the best title of the

(argue)答案They were/are arguing about how to spend the money.五、阅读理解(导学号58030021)Andrew Ritchie,inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle,once said that the perfect portable bike would be “like a magic carpet...You could fold it up and put i t into your pocket or handbag”.Then he paused:“But you’ll always be limited by the size of the wheels.And so far no one has invented a folding wheel.”It was a rare—indeed unique—occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right.A 19th-century inventor,William Henry James Grout,did in fact design a folding wheel.His bike,predictably named the Grout Portable,had a frame that split into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces.All the bits fitted into Grout’s Wonderful Bag,a leather case.G rout’s aim:to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train.Now doesn’t that sound familiar?Grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel:his bike was a huge beast.And importantly,the design of early bicycles gave him an ad vantage:in Grout’s day,tyres were solid,which made the business of splitting a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple.You couldn’t do thesame with a wheel fitted with a one-piece inflated(充气的) tyre.So,in a 21st-century context,is the idea of the folding wheel dead?It is not.A British design engineer,Duncan Fitzsimons,has developed a wheel that can be squashed into something like a slender ellipse(椭圆).Throughout,the tyre remains inflated.Will the young Fitzsimons’s folding wheel make it into production?I haven’t the foggiest idea.But his inventiveness shows two things.First,people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has reached its limit,except for gradual advances.It’s as silly a concept now as it wa s 100 years ago:there’s plenty still to go for.Second,it is in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions.You can buy a folding bike for less than £1,000 that can be knocked down so small that it can be carried on a plane—minus wheels,of course—as hand baggage.Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible.Have we yet got the magic carpet of Andrew Ri tchie’s imagination?No.But it’s progress.1We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the Brompton folding bike .A.was portableB.had a folding wheelC.could be put in a pocketD.looked like a magic carpet答案A解析推理判断题。
