My mther at 85 was quick, with gd visin and sharp reactin fr her age, but ne day she kncked int three parked cars n a supermarket parking lt. We never fund ut exactly hw it happened, but the investigatrs figured Mm hit the acceleratr instead f the brake.
Mm was lucky, even thugh she spent tw weeks in the hspital. But we unwillingly cncluded that it was time t take Mmˈs car keys. Tears ran dwn her cheeks. I think she never felt ld until that mment, when I tk away the independence prvided by the car.

She began t enjy her new life. But mst ld peple have n cnvenient public transprtatin r shps within walking distance.
We seemed t have made a right decisin. But is tragedy like that a reasn t take away the car keys f the elderly? I think nt Age desnˈt necessarily prve anything. Slwer reactins r nt, senir citizens are much better than teenagers. They usually drive mre slwly. They get hnked at a lt, but their slwer speed reduces the risk f death and destructin. The wrst risk-takers n the highway are yung men between the ages f 18 t 25, but n ne suggests taking away their keys r raising the driving age t 26.
The death rate in the past year fr mtrists between 16 and 20, accrding t the Natinal Highway Traffic Safety Administratin, was mre than duble that fr drivers ver 70. The lder citizen wh tries t avid danger is likely t take persnal respnsibility mre seriusly than a yunger persn wh causes danger thrugh partying and risk.

On Wednesday, 16-year-ld Aava Murt tk ver fr a day as prime minister f Finland. The mve was part f an internatinal effrt called “Girls Takever”, designed t bring attentin t the rights f girls. Finlandˈs prime minister, Sanna Marin, handed ver the psitin t Aava and shwed her hw things wrked. Thugh Aava didnˈt make any laws, she did meet with pliticians, speak t reprters, and give a speech.
Girls Takever is a wrldwide prgram run by a grup called Plan Internatinal. The prgram allws girls arund the wrld t temprarily take ver psitins nrmally held by leaders f all different kinds.
This is Finlandˈs furth year f taking part in the prgram. In additin t Aava taking ver as prime minister, ther girls tk charge f ther businesses, including a magazine, a university, and Rvi Entertainment, the cmpany behind the Angry Birds vide game. This year, the fcus f Girls Takever is n equality fr girls in technlgy. Aava nrmally spends a lt f her time wrking t prmte climate actin and human rights. But n Wednesday, she fcused n technlgy in her speech.
“Inequality affects many f us girls glbally and affects ur lives in a variety f ways,” she said. Aava pinted ut that mst peple have always assumed that bys are interested in technlgy and that girls arenˈt, which is against the fact and can make it harder fr girls t master these skills.
Aava said that since up t 90% f jbs in the future will rely n digital skills, itˈs imprtant t make it easy fr everyne t develp these abilities. Aava ntes that this is especially imprtant in prer cuntries where technlgy isnˈt as cheap r as cmmn. “Girls, t, have a digital future,” she said. “And that is why girls shuld have a vice in technlgy.”
Several ther cuntries arund the wrld are taking part in Girls Takever, including the Dminican Republic, Kenya, Paraguay, Peru, Sudan, and Vietnam.
28. Why was Aava Murt able t serve as Finlandˈs prime minister fr ne day?
A. Because f a glbal prgram.

C. Because f a regular exchange.
D. Because f her clseness t the gvernment

B. Aava always devtes herself t speeches n technlgy.
C. The fcus f Girls Takever may vary frm year t year.
D. Girls Takever has been held in Finland fr ver a decade.
30. What mainly makes girls have greater difficulty mastering technlgy skills?
A. Their limited access t technlgy.
B. Their lack f interest in technlgy
C. The different scial respnsibilities
D. The lng-held wrng public cncept.
Which f the fllwing reflects Aavaˈs pinin?
Girlsˈvice in technlgy matters mre.
Inequality has little effect n girls wrldwide.
Technlgy is unequally distributed glbally.
Mastering digital skills prmises a bright future.
“Regrets, Iˈve had a few. But then again, t few t mentin,” Frank Sinatra chanted in his 1969 hit “My Way”. The sngˈs idea is attractive: that anyne can just declare whatˈs dne is dne and mve n. Sme take the declaratin a step further and claim they have n regrets at all. Whether a bast r an actual attitude, “n regrets” suggests that life can and shuld be lived withut lking thrugh the rear-view mirrr.
Easier said than dne, thugh. In 2020, authr Daniel H. Pink launched the Wrld Regret Survey, the largest ever survey n the tpic. With his research team, Pink asked mre than 15,000 peple in 105 cuntries, “Hw ften d yu lk back n yur life and wish yu had dne things differently?” 82% said regret is at least an ccasinal part f their life; rughly 21% said they feel regret “all the time.” Only 1% said they never feel regret.
If yu are f the “n regrets” type, yu might think that all this regret is a recipe fr unhappiness. But that isnˈt the case. True, being verwhelmed by regret is indeed bad fr yu. But ging t the ther extreme may be even wrse. T rid yurself f regrets desnˈt free yu frm shame r srrw; it leads yu t make the same mistakes again and again. T truly get ver ur guilt requires that we put regret in its prper place.
As uncmfrtable as it is, regret is an amazing cgnitive achievement. If tday yur relatinship with yur partner has sured, yur regret might mentally take yu back t last year. Yu wuld remember yur being mean and sensitive, and then imagine yurself shwing mre patience, being kind instead f hurtful at key mments. Then yu wuld fast-frward t tday and see hw yur relatinship culd be prgressing instead f languishing.
But regret desnˈt have t be left unmanaged. The trick is t acknwledge it and use it fr learning and imprvement. Yu can be hnest with yurself abut what went wrng and use that knwledge t enjy better relatinships in the future.
What shuld we d if we have had a bitter quarrel with a clse friend accrding t Frank Sinatra?
Attract mre peple t yur argument.
Send him/her a letter f aplgy.
Bast abut being mre reasnable.
Frget abut it and just let it g
33. Which f the fllwing statements abut regret may the writer agree with?
A. We can d nthing abut regret
B. Unhappiness results frm regret
C. Ignring regrets is missing the pprtunity t imprve
D. Ridding yurself f regrets helps free yu frm srrw
34. What des the underlined wrd “languishing” in paragraph 4 mst prbably mean?
A. Imprving B. Healing C. Shwing up D. Breaking up
35. What might be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Regret t becme smarter-if yu let it
B. Lng fr a different past? Regret it!
C. Regret? Nt my way!
D. Stay away! Regret will heal itself.

Any day that I had t g t the airprt was the wrst day f my life, and as a traveling appliance salesman, I had t fly quite a bit. On this particular day in 2010. 1 was assigned t a middle seat. Back then, I was s fat that I culdnˈt fit dwn the aisle (走廊） facing frward, s I was frced t walk sideways like a crab. I weighed between 340 and 360 punds; the exact figure depended n whether I measured my weight befre r after ne f my enrmus meals. When I finally squeezed int my seat, the seat belt wasnˈt lng enugh t fit arund my 52-inch waist. They never were.
I wke up the next mrning knwing that I needed t change. I started lking fr signs that might lead me tward a better life and immediately a sign shwed up. I turned n the TV and happened t catch an interview with frmer president Bill Clintn. He said heˈd been under the care f a dctr wh put him n a whle-fd, plant-based diet. He lst weight withut feeling hungry, and he was healthier and strnger than heˈd been since his twenties. I never imagined my sign wuld cme frm Bill Clintn, but there he was.
I had n idea what a “whle-fd, plant-based diet” was. I went nline and searched fr a dctr wh culd help me. Thatˈs when I fund Preeti. I felt hpeful when she agreed t see me the next day. The dctr recmmended a lw calrie diet and suggested sme mderate exercises I culd d in my hme. She als suggested that I g t a shelter and adpt a dg. “Exercise?” I asked, “A dg?" I culdnˈt believe what I heard. But, she said. “A dg is a gd cmpanin. Plus, yu live in an apartment. which means the dg has t be walked. S if yu walk yur dg twice a day, that will be yur exercise."

My mther at 85 was quick, with gd visin and sharp reactin fr her age, but ne day she kncked int three parked cars n a supermarket parking lt. We never fund ut exactly hw it happened, but the investigatrs figured Mm hit the acceleratr instead f the brake.
Mm was lucky, even thugh she spent tw weeks in the hspital. But we unwillingly cncluded that it was time t take Mmˈs car keys. Tears ran dwn her cheeks. I think she never felt ld until that mment, when I tk away the independence prvided by the car.

She began t enjy her new life. But mst ld peple have n cnvenient public transprtatin r shps within walking distance.
We seemed t have made a right decisin. But is tragedy like that a reasn t take away the car keys f the elderly? I think nt Age desnˈt necessarily prve anything.

Girls Takever is a wrldwide prgram run by a grup called Plan Internatinal. The prgram allws girls arund the wrld t temprarily take ver psitins nrmally held by leaders f all different kinds.
This is Finlandˈs furth year f taking part in the prgram.

Aava ntes that this is especially imprtant in prer cuntries where technlgy isnˈt as cheap r as cmmn. “Girls, t, have a digital future,” she said. “And that is why girls shuld have a vice in technlgy.”
Several ther cuntries arund the wrld are taking part in Girls Takever, including the Dminican Republic, Kenya, Paraguay, Peru, Sudan, and Vietnam.

“Regrets, Iˈve had a few. But then again, t few t mentin,” Frank Sinatra chanted in his 1969 hit “My Way”. The sngˈs idea is attractive: that anyne can just declare whatˈs dne is dne and mve n. Sme take the declaratin a step further and claim they have n regrets at all. Whether a bast r an actual attitude, “n regrets” suggests that life can and shuld be lived withut lking thrugh the rear-view mirrr.
Easier said than dne, thugh. In 2020, authr Daniel H. Pink launched the Wrld Regret Survey, the largest ever survey n the tpic. With his research team, Pink asked mre than 15,000 peple in 105 cuntries, “Hw ften d yu lk back n yur life and wish yu had dne things differently?” 82% said regret is at least an ccasinal part f their life; rughly 21% said they feel regret “all the time.” Only 1% said they never feel regret.
If yu are f the “n regrets” type, yu might think that all this regret is a recipe fr unhappiness. But that isnˈt the case. True, being verwhelmed by regret is indeed bad fr yu. But ging t the ther extreme may be even wrse. T rid yurself f regrets desnˈt free yu frm shame r srrw; it leads yu t make the same mistakes again and again. T truly get ver ur guilt requires that we put regret in its prper place.
As uncmfrtable as it is, regret is an amazing cgnitive achievement. If tday yur relatinship with yur partner has sured, yur regret might mentally take yu back t last year. Yu wuld remember yur being mean and sensitive, and then imagine yurself shwing mre patience, being kind instead f hurtful at key mments. Then yu wuld fast-frward t tday and see hw yur relatinship culd be prgressing instead f languishing.
But regret desnˈt have t be left unmanaged. The trick is t acknwledge it and use it fr learning and imprvement. Yu can be hnest with yurself abut what went wrng and use that knwledge t enjy better relatinships in the future.
What shuld we d if we have had a bitter quarrel with a clse friend accrding t Frank Sinatra?
Attract mre peple t yur argument.
Send him/her a letter f aplgy.
Bast abut being mre reasnable.
Frget abut it and just let it g
33. Which f the fllwing statements abut regret may the writer agree with?
A. We can d nthing abut regret
B. Unhappiness results frm regret
C. Ignring regrets is missing the pprtunity t imprve
D. Ridding yurself f regrets helps free yu frm srrw
34. What des the underlined wrd “languishing” in paragraph 4 mst prbably mean?
A. Imprving B. Healing C. Shwing up D. Breaking up
35. What might be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Regret t becme smarter-if yu let it
B. Lng fr a different past? Regret it!
C. Regret? Nt my way!
D. Stay away! Regret will heal itself.

Any day that I had t g t the airprt was the wrst day f my life, and as a traveling appliance salesman, I had t fly quite a bit. On this particular day in 2010. 1 was assigned t a middle seat. Back then, I was s fat that I culdnˈt fit dwn the aisle (走廊） facing frward, s I was frced t walk sideways like a crab. I weighed between 340 and 360 punds; the exact figure depended n whether I measured my weight befre r after ne f my enrmus meals. When I finally squeezed int my seat, the seat belt wasnˈt lng enugh t fit arund my 52-inch waist. They never were.
I wke up the next mrning knwing that I needed t change. I started lking fr signs that might lead me tward a better life and immediately a sign shwed up. I turned n the TV and happened t catch an interview with frmer president Bill Clintn. He said heˈd been under the care f a dctr wh put him n a whle-fd, plant-based diet. He lst weight withut feeling hungry, and he was healthier and strnger than heˈd been since his twenties. I never imagined my sign wuld cme frm Bill Clintn, but there he was.
I had n idea what a “whle-fd, plant-based diet” was. I went nline and searched fr a dctr wh culd help me. Thatˈs when I fund Preeti. I felt hpeful when she agreed t see me the next day. The dctr recmmended a lw calrie diet and suggested sme mderate exercises I culd d in my hme. She als suggested that I g t a shelter and adpt a dg. “Exercise?” I asked, “A dg?" I culdnˈt believe what I heard. But, she said. “A dg is a gd cmpanin. Plus, yu live in an apartment. which means the dg has t be walked. S if yu walk yur dg twice a day, that will be yur exercise."
