听力原文: People tend to underestimate their life expectancy, and it's not surprising; It's the look- around problem again: You generalize from life spans of older friends and family members and figures that's what's in store for you, too. But in an era of rapidly improving life expectancy, the look-around method once again gives the wrong answer. Life expectancy at age 65 today is 15.6 additional years for women. For both sexes, this represents an increase of more than two years just since 1970. By the time the youngest baby boomers turn 65, the Social Security Administration projects that life expectancy at that age could be ashigh as 18 more years for men and 21 years for women. Note that everyone runs very nearly a 50 percent "risk" of living longer than their life expectancy.
That reality makes retirement planning exceptionally difficult. On the day a husband and wife turn 65, they may have only a year or two of living between them to finance, or they may have 70. A good way might be to plan against the possibility that you will outlive three quarters of the people in your age/9'oup -- a calculation our Web site calculator allows you to make. You may not want to deny a child a college education just so you are sure to have enough money to celebrate your 95th birthday, but you also don't want to become a burden on your children just because you unexpectedly live to be 10 years older than the average life expectancy for people of your age.

A.Because the children's college education fee is too high.
B.Because people may live longer than they expected.
C.Because you need to celebrate your 95th birthday.
D.Because you may become a burden on your children.

Voice: Being Grateful I think makes us aware or reminds us of the blessings of our lives. It reflects
a sense of how important it is to go through life and go through every day really appreciating
the miracles of every day. And I don't think it's about making the sun stand still as it were or
dividing the Red Sea, but really just the everyday aspects of life, for nature and beauty and
relationships. All those things we enjoy every day, but often we forget about.
Host: Rabbi Strassfeld says that traditional Jews also thank God at painful moments. When one hears
of a death, for example, one blesses God as "the true Judge".
Voice: And it's a way of expressing an acknowledgment that death is also part of life. It doesn't
mean that death is a blessing or that that person is better off, but it just really understands that
everything in life is part of life, and that everything from a traditional viewpoint is created by
God. So all of life is part of that. Blessing and gratitude allows you to emphasize or to focus
more on the good things and to put the difficult things in the broader perspective.

Defeats are nothing to be afraid of. They are common incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to get rid of its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success but nothing can cause within us such a strong wish to succeed. If you left a baby grasp a stick and try to pull it away, he will hold it more and more tightly until his whole weight is hung up. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you make full use of the power which defeat gives; you can compete with it far more than you are able to.
How much does the writer know about success?
A.He knows at least several examples of success.
B.He knows every success in life.
C.He knows every success that has been achieved by man.

0 In your last letter you asked me to tell you why I like playing
00 chess so much. Well, I nevertheless think it is because chess gives
me a feeling of the excitement. I am quite competitive and like
me challenge of playing one-to-one. It gets intense sometimes;
in a game you can get extremely nervous and excited and have all
sorts of emotions. If I have played such a good player, put up
a good fight and lost, then that is too satisfying, but it is always
better than to win! There is also a good social side to chess. I
have made lots of friends at playing in competitions across
Europe. It is really interesting seeing cultures more different from
mine and trying to practise other languages! Now I play most of
weekends and holidays, but I do not know for certain if I will continue
to take part in competitions. During the last couple of years while I
have had more schoolwork, in which makes life more difficult. You
have got to be an extremely ,good player for chess to be so financially
worthwhile. However, I would like recommend it as a hobby to
anyone. If you are interested, you should to join a chess club at once.

段落翻译: I clearly remember a period during which I felt like a failure. But what I eventually learned was that failing at one thing is not failing at all things. And, in fact, failure is a necessary part of growth. Life is filled with trial and error. In order to walk the path to success, you need to make some wrong turns along the way. What I learned, to use John C. Maxwell’s terminology, was to “fail forward”, to use each mistake to make myself better. One of the greatest problems people have with failure is that they are too quick to judge isolated situations in their lives and label them as failures. Instead, they need to keep the bigger picture in mind. A successful baseball player doesn’t look at an out that he makes and think of failure. He sees it within the context of the bigger picture. His perspective leads to perseverance. His perseverance brings longevity. And his longevity gives him opportunities for success.
