　　around the house, and it becomes a project that we work on together and it's an incredible (不可思議的)

　　to look at your home and appreciate all the hard work and sweat that go into it. We really do get a sense of great

　　This past week I've been

　　a new floor from our dining room into our kitchen. My daughter came in and said

　　the floor looked

　　but added, “Why is it taking you so long？”

　　that “so long” was in the eyes of her, I told her that I had

　　twice and cut once. I made sure that all my measurements were

　　so that I was not wasting materials or time. I explained that by taking the appropriate time in the

　　， the project was much faster

　　I didn't have to rework piece after piece. I began thinking about my

　　and how it fits into our everyday life. We should look at this philosophy in different aspects of our life. If we take the time to prepare and really

　　the task at hand, there should be no

　　to come back to. Think of how much time and frustration (沮喪) would be saved just by doing it right the first time, with just a little extra

　　paid to when doing preparations. If we “measure twice”， we will begin to gain confidence and

　　forward with a positive attitude because we know we

　　have to “cut once”．

　　Next time you face a new project, try double

　　your work;

　　you will make sure you understand the things that can go

　　and focus on the things you can do right. Your project will run

　　and you will be less stressed while doing it.

　　[2024·衡水中學三調]When I was a baby, I entertained you and made you laugh. Whenever I was “bad”， you'd shakeW1 your finger at me and ask, “How could you？”—but then you'd give up, and roll me over for a belly scratchW2 and I believed that life could not be any more perfect.S

　　My housetraining was a long process, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks, runs in the park and car rides. We stopped for ice cream. I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.

　　Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. EventuallyW3, you fell in loveP1. She, now your wife, is not a dog person, but I still welcomed her into our home. I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement, I was fascinatedW4 by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them too. Your wife was afraid I would bite them. But nevertheless, as they began to grow, I became their friend.

　　Now, you have a new job in another city and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your “family”， but there was a time when I was your only family.

　　I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the dog pound. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said, “I know you will find a good home for her.” They shrugged and gave you a pained look. The children were in tears as they waved me goodbye. And “How could you？” were the only three words that sweptW5 over my mind.

　　Is it better to live with hope or without hope? At first, whenever anyone passed my pen (圍欄), I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mindP2 and that this was all a bad dream.

　　My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forever. I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me.

　　[2024·濟南一中考試]In order to increase their job chances after college, Chinese students are turning toP1 a special practice—Eiffel Tower nose jobs (鼻整形手術). The latest trendW1 in plastic surgery promises to create a nose that is similar to the curve of the Eiffel Tower.

　　Surgeon Wang Xuming said: “We are influencedW2 by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower. We are not content to just add something to the nose; we reconstruct it.” The surgery costs about US $10,000 and involves the enlarging of the nose using tissue from the forehead.

　　Hundreds of posters advertising the procedure are put up all over Chongqing city, where surgeon Xuming runs his private practice. They show a Western-looking woman with an almost-too-perfect nose, against an outline of the Eiffel Tower.

　　Interestingly, many young women in China are eager to achieve a western appearance, as they believe it will give them an advantage in the highly competitive job market. “Some students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation. If their facial features are good, they'll have more chances of finding a job，S” said surgeon Xuming. “We've had students getting the Eiffel Tower nose; it's helped them a lot.”

　　ApparentlyW3, Chinese employers are quite particular about appearances and prefer attractive candidates. Some of them even go as far as putting height and weight requirementsW4 in their employment ads. Plastic surgeons across the country are reporting an increase in the number of students choosing beauty “improvement”．

　　According to a Mr Li, hospital manager at surgeon Xuming's clinic, most of their customers are female and the bill is taken care of by the family. “They usually come in with their mothers, and tend toP2 be from well-off backgrounds.” he said.

　　PersonallyW5, I don't think it so important to “improve” our appearance as long as we are skilled at our jobs. We can't decide how we look, but we can decide how well we live and work.

　　本文講述的是一些中國畢業(yè)生為尋找到更好的就業(yè)機會做鼻整形手術，對這一現(xiàn)象人們從不同角度持不同的觀點和看法。

　　A．marry well B．look cool

　　A．The posters.

　　B．A nose job.

　　C．The Eiffel Tower.

　　答案：A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Hundreds of posters advertising the procedure are put up...”以及“they show...”中“they”指的仍是“posters”可知。
