　　Passage 1

I am an invisible man. No, I am not a spook like those who haunted EdgarAllan Poe; nor am I one of your Hollywood movie ectoplasms. I am a man ofsubstance of flesh and bone, fiber and liquids— and I might even said to possessa mind. I am invisible; understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Likethe bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I havebeen surrounded by hard, distorting glass. When they approach me they see onlymy surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination— indeed,everything and anything except me.

Nor is my invisibility exactly a matter of a bio-chemical accident to myepidermis. That invisibility to which I refer occurs because of a peculiardisposition of the eyes of those with whom I come in contact. A matter of theconstruction of their inner eyes, those eyes with which they look through theirphysical eyes upon reality. I am not complaining, nor am I protesting either. Itis sometimes advantageous to be unseen, although it is most often rather wearingon the nerves. Then too, you’re constantly being bumped against by those of poorvision. Or again, you often doubt of you really exist. You wonder whether youaren’t simply a phantom in other people’s minds. Say, a figure in a nightmarewhich the sleeper tried with all his strength to destroy. It’s when you feellike this that, out of resentment, you begin to bump people back. And, let meconfess, you feel that way most of the time. You ache with need to convinceyourself that you do exist in the real world, that you’re part of all the soundand anguish, and you strike out with your fists, you curse and swear to makethem recognize you. And, alas, it’s seldom successful. (309 words)

　Passage 2

Your thoughts can be your best friend and worst enemy. Have you evernoticed that if you find yourself

thinking even a single negative thought, itinevitably spirals out of control until you have a nasty chorus of MentalMonsters taking over your brain? If you find yourself thinking, “I feel solonely right now,” it’s easy to keep that thought process going in the wrongdirection until thoughts like, “I will always be alone,” or “no one will everlove me,” creep up on you.

Be aware of what you’re thinking about and stop your negative thoughtsbefore they grow into Mental Monsters that are much harder to control. If youfind yourself stressing out, do something that relaxes you. Light some candlesor incense, take a nice hot bubble bath, perform some gentle yoga poses, or playsoothing music.

Being aware of world events is totally okay, but becoming addicted to thenews is a sure-fire way to sink your mood. Limit your news consumption to asmall handful of articles per day because there is no reason to bury yourself indepressing news stories for hours on end.

Watching television is fine in moderation, but spending all of your freehours in front of the tube wHI do nothing to help you grow or feel better. Reada classic novel you adored in high school, go to a local community theater toenjoy a racy comedy or Shakespearean tragedy, and exercise at least every otherday to keep your mind and body at the top of their game.

　　Passage 3

美国中部有如一座炙热的砖窑：牧场和草田被烤的焦黄，玉米在 干裂粉灰状的土中挣扎着，已呈枯萎状，但尚能自救。如果下几天透雨，大豆的长势仍能转好，但这场透雨得快来才行。这一场殃及美国 大片地区的干旱可能是50年来危害最烈的一次。这倒并不是因为它持续时间长，而是因为它起始的时节很致命。半个多世纪不遇的春旱使大地龟裂、江河的驳船减速甚至搁浅、城市的供水紧张、森林成了随时欲燃的大柴堆。干旱还引发人们对食物涨价的担心。所有这一切都出现和发生在盛夏来临之前。最近有些地方下了些许阵雨，杯水车薪， 无济于事，反而使人更感到干旱的难熬。

　Passage 4

我对孤独有着切身体会：一人一室一狗，少有陪伴。许多朋友都 搬到了其他城市，结婚生子过日子，有些也因生活变迁而失去了联系。我自认为是个独行侠，刚开始也很享受平和与安静;可接下来几个月， 我发现自己常常感到孤独。

房间开始变得凌乱不堪、效率低下、情绪低落，除了在Netflix上 看电影，我对任何事都提不起兴趣。过了几个月的混沌日子后，我感到自己很有问题，必须学会一个人也能过得开心才行。

一个人生活时，很容易马虎应付房间整理。如果得过且过，家里 很快就堆了成叠的盘子和杂物。哪怕很少有室友或朋友来串门，每周 至少也得打扫一次房间。

觉得自己的世界毫无美好可言?那你肯定没用心发掘。当你独自 蜗居在家、感到心情抑郁时，何不出门多接触大自然?看小鸟掠过天空，感叹它们高超的飞翔技术;听邻里狗儿相互吠叫，猜测“这些家 伙都在讨论暗? ”
