　　Nowadays, everyone tends to use EZ link card for transportation．

　　Normally, when you get on board the bus, you flash your EZ link card and move in and when you get down the bus, you flash your card again at the exit door(located at the middle of the bus)．We all know that if we forget to flash the card, full fare will be deducted(扣除)from the card．

　　Below is something not known to public：

　　If you get off from the entrance door and you flash your card, the card will capture another entrance fare instead of exit fare, thus meaning that two full fares will be deducted from the card as no exit was being captured for the two entrances．For example, you board a crowded bus at Pasir Ris(where it stops at Jurong East)and decided to get down ten stops later from the door you had entered．If you flash your card at the entrance door without informing the bus driver, a second entrance fare will be captured instead of exit fare thus you are paying two full fares(2×＄1.90＝＄3.80)instead of one fare．This is useful information．

　　Here’s the solution：

　　Go to the “big” machine(i．e．machine for you to top up the card)located at the MRT stations．

　　1)Insert your EZ link card

　　2)Press the function key “Check card”

　　3)Press “more”

　　The above function will show you Information of the last 20 transactions(交易)on the screen．Please pass this e-mail to people you know so that they will not pay extra charges for nothing and burn a big hole in their pockets．

　　Last but not least, call the hotline：1800 767 4333 when the incorrect fares are deducted．

1．If a passenger had flashed his EZ card twice in one bus ride and it later showed that he had paid twice as much as he actually should, it suggested that _________．

　　In the course of working my way through school, I took many jobs I would rather forget．But none of these jobs was as dreadful as my job in an apple plant．The work was hard; the pay was poor; and, most of all, the working conditions were terrible．

　　First of all, the job made huge demands on my strength．For ten hours a night, I took boxes that rolled down a metal track and piled them onto a truck．Each box contained twelve heavy bottles of apple juice．I once figured out that I was lifting an average of twelve tons of apple juice every night．

　　I would not have minded the difficulty of the work so much if the pay had not been so poor．I was paid the lowest wage of that time－two dollars an hour．Because of the low pay, I felt eager to get as much as possible．I usually worked twelve hours a night but did not take home much more than ＄100 a week．

　　But even more than the low pay, what made me unhappy was the working conditions．During work I was limited to two ten-minute breaks and an unpaid half hour for lunch．Most of my time was spent outside loading trucks with those heavy boxes in near-zero-degree temperatures．The steel floors of the trucks were like ice, which made my feet feel like stone．And after the production line shut down at night and most people left, I had to spend two hours alone cleaning the floor．

　　I stayed on the job for five months, all the while hating the difficulty of the work, the poor money, and the conditions under which I worked．By the time I left, I ________．

　　[1]Have you ever been offered an alcoholic drink? What about someone's saying “Don’t worry, just have one little sip”? Most people have their first drink by the time they’re 13．That first drink can be the start of a troubled life．

　　[2]Drink can make teens feel good, but that feeling lasts only a short time．Alcohol clouds your brain and hinders your ability to make decisions．Excessive drinking literally makes your brain shrink and can cause serious damage．Over-drinking can cause learning disabilities and damage your memory．It distorts your vision and leads to blackouts．Teenagers often think that drinking will give them more energy, but alcohol isn’t an energy drink－it’s a depressant(鎮(zhèn)靜劑)

　　[3]Drunk driving is one of the top causes of __________ for teen boys．An alcohol-related motor vehicle crash kills one person every 33 minutes and injures someone every two minutes．The rate of teen drunk driving is so high that the government is trying to pass new laws to restrict teen driving．

　　[4]When we get to high school, friends start pressurising us to drink．High school students see alcohol as glamorous and a way to become popular．I conducted a survey at my school．24 of the 63 respondents predicted they would drink in high school．11 said maybe, and 28 said they didn’t plan on drinking．

　　[5]Regardless of what they say now, things can change．Teens starting high school want to fit in．They think that one drink won’t do anything harmful．A little bit of alcohol probably won’t kill you, but it can lead to poor decisions．High school is the time to experiment with what you want to do in life, but if you’re experimenting with alcohol you could hurt someone, including yourself．

　　Anger and bitterness may affect your health．According to research, forgiveness may help you keep healthy, both physically and mentally．

　　Forgiveness－giving up anger toward another－can greatly reduce your body's anger and stress responses, which affect your mental and physical health．Research conducted by the University of Michigan's institute for Social Research has showed that people who forgive themselves and others experience reduced feelings of restlessness, nervousness and hopelessness．Other researches have found forgiveness can also lower blood pressure and heart rates．

　　“Stress exacerbates pain, tightens muscles and interferes with the smooth running of the immune(免疫)system．” says Fred Luskin, director of the Forgiveness Project at Stanford University, “People think they have this unlimited storage of anger that will never do harm to their health, but they are quite wrong．”

　　And good news：You don't have to be Gandhi to forgive others or ask for forgiveness．“Forgiveness is a teachable skill, which you can learn it just like you learn to play the piano,” says Luskin．

　　Remember these tips when learning to forgive：

　　Commit yourself．Do whatever you have to do to feel better．Forgiveness is for you, not ________．

　　Get perspective．Recognize that your primary distress comes from the hurt feelings and physical upset you suffer now, not what offended or hurt you two minutes or 10 years ago．

　　Meet positive goals．Instead of mentally replaying your hurt, seek a new and positive future．

　　Live well．Remember that a life well lived is your best revenge．Stop focusing on wounded feelings－that gives the person who caused your pain power over you．Instead, look for love, beauty and kindness around you．

1．What's the main idea of the passage?(Please answer within 8 words．)

2．List three feelings that forgiveness can reduce based on the text．(Please answer within 9 words．)

①_____________

②_____________

③_____________

3．Fill in the blank with proper words to complete the sentence．(Please answer within 6 words．)

Keep in mind that living a good life is of vital significance．
