9.Have you ever looked at someone else's life with envy, just enough envy that you wish for a moment or two (or longer) that you could be them? Are there moments when, if the opportunity to be them were on ________, you might be tempted by it?
Would we really want this? And what might we learn about ourselves or how we see our lives if we ________ considered it? To be sure, there are ________ here. If you had someone else's life, who would raise your children or love your spouse or take care of your parents in their old age?
In fact, if you were someone else your own children would not have come into existence in the first place. That's not a happy thought. To ________ this, perhaps the best way to cast this is in terms of a trade: If you had their life then they would have yours, and live it exactly as you would have. Your responsibilities would be ________, so there would be nothing to feel guilty about.
If we think of it this way, then the question of wanting to be someone else is a question of what we might call experience: Is there anybody else whose experience of life you would prefer, ________ everything else would be equal? One ________ concern about wanting someone else's experience is that my desire to be someone else is grounded in values and desires that I have, and so I have to be me in order to want to be him. However, it's not clear that that presents any real obstacle to such a desire. The fact is that there would be at least enough overlap (重叠)with them that they are exemplifying my values and desires but have a better experience than I do. So I can still prefer to be them.
I think that, on reflection, most of us would not want to ________ with another person, no matter how successful or tempting their lives seem. To see why, though, we'll need to ________ our angle of vision. We will have to look at our own experiences rather than at theirs, or perhaps look at our experiences first. What would I be willing to give up to be another? My relationships with everyone — children, spouse, friends —and my whole history. I wouldn't have ________ it. My loss would be that of the whole of my own experience. 填空题] *

18.When I opened the first "Body Shop" in 1976, what I wanted to do was to earn （挣） enough money to feed my children. Today the "Body Shop" is a great company growing fast all around the world. In the years since we began, I have learned a lot. Much of what I have learned will be found in this book, because I believe that we, as a company, have something worth saying about how to run a successful business without giving up what you really believe in.It's not an ordinary business book. It is not just about my life, either. The message is that to succeed in business you have to be different. Business can be fun, and can be run with love and do good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have a feeling of my family and to feel excited by something unusual. I have always wanted the people who work for the "Body Shop" to feel the same way.Now this book sends these ideas out into the world, and makes them public. I'd like to think there are no limits （界限） to our "family", and no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I hope you do, too.What would someone learn from this text? 选项： A:How to make a lot of money. B:How to write a book about business. C:What the book is about. D:What the writer's family is like.

But how much do we really need?Research by the National Sleep Foundation in Washington says that we all need eight hours' sleep every night. Scientists have found that people who sleep for less than six and a half hours a night are more often ill than people who sleep for eight hours. Going without sleep also increases the chance of serious illness. Workaholics(工作狂) who sleep for less than five hours often die young, and do less well at work.The scientists found that adults usually sleep for seven hours a night, with 32% sleeping less than six hours.It also says that the idea that we need less sleep as we get older is completely untrue.“People have no idea how important sleep is to their lives,” Dr. Thomas Roth, director of the Foundation says.“Good health needs good sleep.”“But not too much of it,” says Professor Jim Horne of Loughborough University.“Sleep is like food and drink,” he believes.“You would always like to have a little bit more, but that doesn't mean you need it.” Professor Horne studied a group of people who could spend as many hours as they wanted in bed, after ten hours they didn't find it any easier to get up in the morning. And people who sleep for more than nine hours a night die younger than people who usually sleep for seven or eight!1)、Babies sleep about 18 hours a day. 选项： A:T B:F
