For twenty years, I saved all my college course notes and textbooks: that's a lot of paper.
Worse, it's not easy to carry them around — and trust me, they aren't light — on at least seven moves. Yet I never once looked at them. They sat in our basement, covered in a thick layer of dust. If books and papers could wonder, they'd wonder why they were still under our stairs after all those years. When would the Big Day come?
Well, the Big Day eventually did arrive; only it was different than expected. My wife, always more accepting changes than I am, finally talked me into clearing out the entire mess.
The pain I experienced was also unexpected. What hurt me was to come across those terrible papers I'd written, which reminded me of my poor study habits, and an embarrassing lack of comprehension. It was great to get rid of them. But it was also a clearing of personal history.
At first, I struggled with this. The truth was in the record that my books, my notes, and my papers were primary source materials, documenting an important time in my life. To clear them out was to clear out the truth.
What I've learned since taking this leap is that the process is more important than the truth. I feel as if much of my real education during my college years isn't in the documents but now in me.
So I am glad to free myself of this physical burden. And what's better is that I don't need to look back to those painful moments. They belong to the past.
You might want to consider doing something similar, either under the stairs of your basement or in your mind.
What is the personal rubbish piling in your life? Clear it out and make your life awesome.
1.Why was the author finally determined to desert all the college materials?
A．Because his wife persuaded him to.
B．Because they were of no use at all.
C．Because they were heavy on the moves.
D．Because they occupied space too long.
2.The author struggled at the very beginning for ________.
A．a sense of pain
B．a sense of embarrassment
C．a sense of regret for the past
D．a sense of losing part of his history
3.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．The past experiences.
B．The wasted college?related materials.
C．The rubbish in the basement.
D．Physical and psychological mess.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Let It Go B．Sort It Out
C．Give up the Past D．Forget the History

First Lady Michelle Obama is on a five-day trip to Asia. She is visiting Japan and Cambodia to help publicize a program called "Let Girls Learn". Administration officials set up the campaign to support the education of millions of girls worldwide.
Before her trip, Mrs. Obama and her husband noted the inability of an estimated 62-million girls to attend school. They said educating the girls should be a foreign policy goal.
This week, Mrs. Obama criticized the fact that tens of millions of girls are not receiving a satisfactory education. In her opinion piece, she wrote this failure to educate girls it was more than "a tragic waste of potential." It is both a serious public health issue and a problem for the economic health of nations and the world. She also said it was "a threat to the security of countries around the world".
The First Lady noted by 2012, every part of the developing world was educating both girls and boys in primary schools. But this is not the case in secondary education. She wrote in some areas girls face "the cultural values and practices that limit the prospects of women in their societies ".
The Obama administration launched the "Let Girls Learn" campaign earlier this month. At the time, Mrs. Obama noted plans to involve the U.S. Peace Corps, and the Volunteer Development Agency.
"This effort will draw on the talent and energy of the nearly 7,000 Peace Corps volunteers serving in more than 60 countries. Through this effort, Peace Corps will be supporting hundreds of new community projects to help girls go to school and stay in school. And, I want to emphasize that these programs will be community-generated and community-led. They will be based on solutions devised by local leaders, families and yes, even the girls themselves."
President Obama also spoke at the same White House event, saying that campaign is important to his administration.

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (貼標簽 ) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got nearer and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, "Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!" Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing.
Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart. Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn't notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. "Thanks."

In our comparison?soaked (攀比成風的) culture, it's hard to avoid slipping into “Why can't I？” mode. When one of my colleagues who I think is not better than me published a new book, I couldn't help complaining how unachievable it seemed to me and what bad luck I had. Negative feelings like this made life dark for us. 1. Here's what I learned：
Don't compare your insides to someone else's outsides.
The first time I heard this excellent advice, I was suffering from terrible envy. My professor's warning shocked me that “You have no idea what it took for them to get there. Don't just owe it to pure luck. 2.”
She was absolutely right, yet it's much easier to envy what they've got than to ask the serious questions: What are they modeling for me? What have they done to get where they are today? 3.
Transform comparison into celebration.
Admiration and envy are responses pointing us toward what we value most. 4. If you notice yourself admiring people who take creative risks, bring your full attention to the part of you that wants to be braver.
_5.
Next time you catch yourself admiring or envying someone's success, take a moment to consider: What qualities in them inspire me? Where do I presently display these qualities? Remember the light we see in others can help us see our own!
A．Use the success of others as a mirror.
B．Learn to appreciate others' shining points.
C．How to get rid of the harmful effects of comparison needs exploring.
D．However, there is no doubt that good luck can't be ignored.
E．Instead, you should find out what's really going on behind the scenes.
F．And once we become aware of what we value, we are much better positioned to create a richly satisfying life.
G．When we reflect on these questions, we shift immediately out of comparison mode and turn inwards.

Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart. They will in a lifetime, push the chrome?plated_contraptions many miles. But few will know — or even think to ask — who it was that invented them.
Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.
One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.
On June 4, 1937, Goldman's first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn't wait to see them using his invention.
But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.
After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren't using his carts. “Don't you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket？” one shopper replied.
But Goldman wasn't beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假的) customers.
As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come — those who came bought more. With larger easier?to?handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.
Today's shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman's original model. Perhaps that's one reason why Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937 — the coming of the shopping cart.
1.What do the underlined words “chrome?plated contraptions” in the first paragraph refer to?
A．Baskets. B．Private cars.
C．Suitcases. D．Shopping carts.
2.What was the purpose of Goldman's invention?
A．It was to prove him to be a good inventor.
B．It was to reduce the burden of his employees' work.
C．It was to make shopping easier and attract more business.
D．It was to help the disabled make shopping easily in his market.
3.Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market in order to ________.
A．attract people to buy things in his market
B．encourage people to use his shopping carts
C．make his market different from the others
D．keep the groceries from being stolen
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Goldman will become very famous because of his invention.
B．Goldman's invention will be regarded as the greatest one in the world.
C．Supermarket business has benefited a lot from Goldman's invention.
D．There will be nothing that can replace Goldman's invention.
