      The book, Bring Your Work To Life, by William John Mills, points out that the secret to meaning in life, 

and in work, depends on how you relate to yourself, how you relate to others and your relationship with higher 

values or purpose in life.       

      Relationships are an important part of work. Despite (不管) what the work is, how you relate to people 

influences not only how well you work, but also how you feel about yourself.  And how you feel about and 

treat yourself in tum influences both how you work and how you get along with others.       

     Mills suggests that people take a look at how they use time, which is what life is all about. Taking a look 

at how you use time, and how you would like to use it, can give you a better picture of yourself, and help you 

make better choices in life.          

     Mills also points out how varying amounts (变化量)  of time and energy influence how people feel.  Having 

little energy and too much time on your hands can turn you into a couch (沙发) potato.  But when you have 

both time and energy, you will enjoyyour work the best, whatever job you do.    

     Mills focuses on the need to love what you do, suggesting the following focuses: 

1. Be purposeful.  Remind yourself of your purpose and put it into practice.

2. Be responsible. Only attend to those things that are within your control.

3. Be there. Stay focused on what you're doing at the time you're doing it.

4. Be accepting.  Accept yourself and accept others.          

      Mills also shares a quotation,  " Your work is to discover your work,and then withall your heart to give 

yourself to it. "      

     That can make the difference between just living and feeling fully alive. You have to work at living, not

 just at working. Mills' book just has excellent guides for such a joumey.

1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?    

A. Your attitude to work is your attitude to yourself as well.      

B. How you relate to yourself decides the meaning in your life.     

C. Having too much energy and time turns you into a couch potato.

D. Focusing on what you're doing can help you make better friends.

2. The underlined word "That" in the last paragraph probably refers to ____.    

A. not only living, but also feeling fully alive     

B. being purposeful, responsible and accepting      

C. being an excellent guide for your life joumey      

D. discovering one's work and giving oneself to it

3. The best title for the passage is ____ .

There was a huge battle between the warriors(武士)of Greece and the people of Troy. Prince Paris from Troy had stolen away the Greek queen; Helen. The Greek warriors set sail for Troy to fight for their queen.  

The battle outside Troy lasted for ten years. The men were fed up and wanted to return to their homes. Athene, goddess of war gave Ulysses the idea for a plan to end the war. They built a big wooden horse which they put in the middle of their encampment(营地). Next they pretended to give up their camp. In reality many soldiers hid inside the wooden horse.

Once they thought the camp had been abandoned the Trojans went out to check. They needed to know if the war was really over. They walked through the abandoned encampment and eventually found the wooden horse. They could not decide what it was. Some wanted to take it  into the city, others thought that it was a gift to Zeus and feared touching or moving it in case they upset Zeus.  

Some Trojans decided to take it back into the city. They called a large group of troops, attached ropes and pulled it into the city.

A huge celebration started. The city was free from war for the first time in nine years. Everybody feasted, drank and danced until eventually the merriment(欢闹)was over and they all went to sleep.

This was the moment that the wooden horse opened a big flap(盖口)hidden underneath. Out crept Ulysses and all of his men. They killed the sleeping troops, rescued Queen Helen, met up with the rest of their army and set sail for home.

The story of the return journey is told in The Odyssey, a collection of poems piecing together the bits of the story from the many different places where the story took place.
