Terri Bolton is a dab hand when it comes to DIY（do﹣it﹣yourself）.Skilled at putting up shelves and piecing together furniture ，she never pays someone else to do a job she can do herself.

She credits these skills to her late grandfather and builder Derek Lloyd.From the age of six ，Terri，now 26 ，accompanied Derek to work during her school holidays.A day's work was rewarded with£ 5 in pocket money.She says："I'm sure I wasn't much of a help to start with，painting the rooms and putting down the flooring throughout the house.It took weeks and it was backbreaking work ，but I know he was proud of my skills. "

Terri，who now rents a house with friends in Wandsworth，South West London，says DIY also saves her from losing any deposit when a tenancy（租期） comes to an end.She adds ：" I've moved house many times and I always like to personalize my room and put up pictures.So，it's been useful to know how to cover up holes and repaint a room to avoid any charges when I've moved out."

With millions of people likely to take on DIY projects over the coming weeks，new research shows that more than half of people are planning to make the most of the long，warm summer days to get jobs done.The average spend per project will be around £823.Two thirds of people aim to improve their comfort while at home.Two fifth wish to increase the value of their house.Though DIY has traditionally been seen as male hobby，the research shows it is women now leading the charge.

（1）Which is closest in meaning to" a dab hand" in paragraph 1？ 　 　

（2）Why did Terri's grandfather give her£ 5 a day？ 　 　

（3）How did Terri avoid losing the deposit on the house she rented？

ㅤI was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World.It was full of ideas that were new to me，so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book.It spoke to me and brought me into a world of philosophy（哲学）.

ㅤThat love for philosophy lasted until I got to college.Nothing kills the love for philosophy faster than people who think they understand Foucault，Baudrillard，or Confucius better than you ﹣ and then try to explain them.

ㅤEric Weiner's The Socrates Express：In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened my love for philosophy.It is not an explanation，but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.

ㅤWeiner starts each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames each philosopher's work in the context（ 背景） of one thing they can help us do better.The end result is a read in which we learn to wonder like Socrates，see like Thoreau，listen like Schopenhauer，and have no regrets like Nietzsche.This，more than a book about understanding philosophy ，is a book about learning to use philosophy to improve a life.

ㅤHe makes philosophical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences，and he does so with plenty of humor.Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most important philosophers in history，and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding（ 解读） their messages and adding his own interpretation.

ㅤThe Socrates Express is a fun，sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and gradually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire，loneliness，and aging.The invitation is clear：Weiner wants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book.I encourage you to take his offer.It's worth your time，even if time is something we don't have a lot of.

（1）Who opened the door to philosophy for the author？ 　 　

（2）Why does the author list great philosophers in paragraph 4？ 　 　

（3）What does the author like about The Socrates Express？ 　 　

（4）What does the author think of Weiner's book？ 　 　

ㅤGrizzly bears，which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg，occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche﹣we revere（敬畏） them even as they give us frightening dreams.Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see，and their answer is often the same：a grizzly bear.

ㅤ"Grizzly bears are re﹣occupying large areas of their former range，" says bear biologist Chris Servheen.As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven't been seen in a century or more，they're interestingly being sighted by humans.

ㅤThe western half of the U.S.was full of grizzlies when Europeans came，with a rough number of 50，000 or more living alongside Native Americans.By the early 1970s，after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers，600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies.In 1975，grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.

ㅤToday，there are about 2 ，000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S.Their recovery has been so successful that the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to delist grizzlies，which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted.Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups.For now，grizzlies remain listed.

ㅤObviously，if precautions（ 预防） aren't taken，grizzlies can become troublesome ，sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food.If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites，grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble.Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away."Our hope is to have a clean，attractant﹣free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits，" says James Jonkel，longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.

（1）How do Americans look at grizzlies？ 　 　

（2）What has helped the increase of the grizzly population？ 　 　

（3）What has stopped the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service from de﹣listing grizzlies？ 　 　

（4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？ 　 　

Tricks To Becoming A Patient Person

ㅤHere's a riddle：What do traffic jams，long lines and waiting for a vacation to start all have in common？There's one answer（1）　 　.

ㅤIn the Digital Age，we're used to having what we need immediately and right at our fingertips.However，research suggests that if we practiced patience，we'd be a whole lot better off.Here are several tricks.

ㅤ●Practice gratitude（感激）

ㅤThankfulness has a lot of benefits：Research shows it makes us happier，less stressed and even more optimistic.（2）　 　. " Showing thankfulness can foster self control，" said Ye Li，researcher at the University of California.

ㅤ●Make yourself wait

ㅤInstant gratification（ 满足） may seem like the most " feel good" option at the time，but psychology research suggests waiting for things actually makes us happier in the long run.And the only way for us to get into the habit of waiting is to practice. （3）　 　 .Put off watching your favorite show until the weekend or wait 10 extra minutes before going for that cake.You'll soon find that the more patience you practice，the more you start to apply it to other，more annoying situations.

ㅤ●（4）　 　

ㅤSo many of us have the belief that being comfortable is the only state we will tolerate，and when we experience something outside of our comfort zone，we get impatient about the circumstances.You should learn to say to yourself， "（5）　 　. " You'll then gradually become more patient.

Many years ago，I bought a house in the Garfagnana，where we still go every summer. The first time we（1）　 　 there，we heard the chug chug﹣chug of a motorbike（2）　 　 its way down the hill toward us. It was（3）　 　 called Mario，coming to（4）　 　 us a box containing some tomatoes and a bottle of wine. It was a very nice（5）　 　 for him to make. But when we looked at the tomatoes，we were（6）　 　 because they were so misshapen：not at all like the nice，round，（7）　 　things you get in a supermarket. And the wine was cloudy，in a funny old bottle with no label（标签） on it. These can't be any （8）　 　 we thought. But we were （9）　 　his kindness，so we （10）　 　 them.

What we discovered is that it's（11）　 　to judge what you eat only by its （12）　 　.Those tomatoes had （13）　 　 that reminded me of the ones my uncle used to grow when I was a child. Nowadays super﹣market tomatoes （14）　 　 perfect but taste of water. Nobody's going to have a （15）　 　 memory of those. It's a surprise they haven't managed to grow square ones so that they can （16）　 　 them easily. Mario's wine may have been cloudy and come out of an old bottle，but it was （17）　 　.

ㅤIt's good to eat things at the correct time，when they're （18）　 　 and as close as possible to where they were （19）　 　.What Mario had （20）　 　 us was the taste of the Garfagnana.

For thousands of years，people have told fables （寓言）（1）　 　（teach） a lesson or to pass on wisdom.Fables were part of the oral tradition of many early cultures，and the well﹣known Aesop's fables date to the（2）　 　（six） century B.C.Yet，the form of the fable still has values today，（3）　 　 Rachel Carson says in " A Fable for Tomorrow. "

Carson uses a simple，direct style common to fable.In fact，her style and tone （口吻） are seemingly directed at children. "There was once a town in the heart of America，（4）　 　all life seemed to enjoy peaceful existence with its surroundings，" her fable begins，（5）　 　（borrow） some familiar words from many age ﹣ old fables.Behind the simple style，however，is a serious message （6）　 　（intend） for everyone.

（7）　 　（difference） from traditional fables，Carson's story ends with an accusation instead of a moral.She warns of the environmental dangers facing society，and she teaches that people must take responsibility（8）　 　saving their environment.

The themes of traditional fables often deal with simple truths about everyday life.However，Carson's theme is a more weighty（9）　 　（warn） about environmental destruction.Carson proves that a simple lyric form that has been passed down through the ages can still （10）　 　（employ） today to draw attention to important truths.
