Start Today
“What can you do when you have done nothing but mess up(搞糟) your whole life long?” These were the words I heard when I turned on the TV the other day. They were coming from one of the talk shows that are so popular on TV these days. I started to turn the channel but the words I had heard made me 75 for a moment. I looked at the speaker of them. He couldn’t have been more than 18 years old, but already he was writing off (认为……已失败) his life as a useless waste.
I wanted to shout at him, “You’re not 76 yet!”
It is so sad that so many people cannot get rid of their pasts and live in the present. There are so many people like that talk show guest. There are people still in their teen years thinking that their lives are over. There are people in their twenties who already think they have 77 the boat to success and happiness. There are people in their thirties and forties who sit around complaining that life has passed them by. I want to shout to them all, “Wake up! You’re still alive! What have you done today?” If you want a happy life, you can’t just think about your past mistakes. If you want joy and love in your life, you have to choose them today. God gives us a new 78 at life every time we wake up in the morning. It is up to us to catch it.
Today can be the 79 of a new life for each of us. We can choose joy right now. We can share love today. We can live with hope starting at this moment. It doesn’t matter how hard our past has been. Our present can be full of joy and our future can be full of happiness. It doesn’t matter whether we are eight 80 eighty ? we can still make our lives wonderful. Life isn’t over until your last heartbeat. Start today, then, to make your heart beat with joy, love, and light.

As we know, museums are buildings with many
precious and important objects(物品) from different places. They are kept so that people can go and see them. For example, art museums are places where people can learn about v 81 cultures. More and more popular “design museums” are opening today, h 82 , play quite a different role. Unlike most art museums, the design museum
shows objects that are easily found in our daily life, such as fridges and washing machines.
The a 83 of design museums is that they are places where people feel familiar with the exhibits. Being different from the art museum visitors, design museum visitors s 84 feel frightened or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-products(批量产品) work and look as they do, and how design has i 85 our lives. People can see the better changes of the products. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something they don’t understand.
Several new design museums have opened their doors in recent years. Each of these museums has tried to satisfy the public’s growing interest in the field with new i 86 . London’s Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less s 87 than those to art museum. Visitors may also sense the humorous part of our society while walking around such exhibits as interesting and unusually attractive toys collected from our everyday life.
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)
If your home is like most others, you’ve probably got a recycling(回收) bin in your kitchen. Good for you. That’s the first step to recycling. But there are other things that both parents and kids can do to make recycling work better.
First, what kinds of rubbish bins are in the other rooms of your house?
What about in your bedroom? You’ve probably just got one rubbish bin where everything goes. But it’s a good idea to place a special bin for recycling paper. Then, when it goes full, you can empty it into a larger recycling bin in the kitchen. You can also put a small recycling bin in the bathroom for any useless paper there.
Before you throw an item into the recycling bin, stop and think if you can use that item again. Take plastic items with yoghurt, for example. After eating what’s in them, you can clean them and store them in a cupboard, and later you can use them for storing another food item. You can do the same with the glass jars, too. You can also share your recycling advice with your neighbours.
If you decide to put an item in the recycling bin, it’s very important to follow this method. If

it has food or drink in it, you must clean it before you put it in the recycling bin. It can’t be recycled with food still in it. You should place the item under the running water for a few seconds to clean it. This saves time for the workers in the recycling center. Then they can use their time doing more important work.
The last thing to remember is ? don’t give up! Recycling is a whole life task and you mustn’t just do recycling for a month and then return to your old habits. You can also continue to find other ways to recycle. So make recycling your new habit, and get others involved as well! 88. Is it good for you to have a recycling bin in your kitchen?
