阅读下面短文，根据要求完成下列各题。

A

The UK has many kilometres of rivers and canals, and around 30,000 people live on these

waters in houseboats.

People started living in houseboats in the 1800s when the country's canals were built.

People chose to live on the water in order to feel closer to nature and have a quieter way of life.

Living on the water sounds romantic, but it is also hard work. There are many jobs to do

every day, such as bringing in clean water and getting rid of dirty water from the toilet, sink and

shower. During winter, living in houseboats can be very cold. So some people who like to live on

water avoid this season. Also, most boats are quite small inside. People don't have much space,

especially if there is a couple, family or a group of friends.

Although it is not easy, the number of people living in houseboats has been getting larger

and larger over the past few years. More families and young people are choosing to live in

houseboats because it is much cheaper than living in a flat or a house.

Another good thing is that people who live in houseboats always help each other and like to

show kindness to their neighbours. This is quite a different story from people who live in flats or

houses and they may hardly know the people next door at all.

根据上面短文的内容回答问题(每个小题答案不超过6个单词)。

1. How many people live in houseboats in the UK?

__________________________________________

2. When did the British build their country's canals?

_________________________________________

3. In which seasons are houseboats suitable for living?

4. Why do more and more people prefer to live on water instead of living in a flat or a house?

_____________________________________________

5. What are the people living in houseboats like according to the last paragraph?

_____________________________________________

B

A peaceful mind is very important to your effectiveness(效率). It keeps you calm and allows

you to stay happy during the day, no matter what the situation is. So, here, I would like to share the

ways to have a "mind like water", a state of mind that is as peaceful as calm water. Pick the ones

that work for you:

Listen to your heart.

Your heart tells you what is the right thing to do. It is where your deepest values(价值) live.

Following what your heart says helps you be true to yourself, and that helps you get a peaceful mind.

So learn to listen more to your heart, and do what it tells you to do.

Don't take in too much information.

Getting more information often means introducing more noise into your mind. That's why

limiting (限制) your information intake is important for a calm and peaceful mind. You shouldn't

take in more information than necessary.

Slow down.

Whatever you do, you do not need to be in a hurry. Doing so will only take you faster in

the .wrong direction. Slow down so that you can clearly hear the voice of your heart.

Don't think too much about yourself and do something for other people.

You think about your own needs and problems most of the time. But self-centred(以我为中心的) thoughts can't bring peace into your mind. Instead, it may make you feel stressed. So don't

think too much about yourself.

根据上面短文内容填空。

6. Your deepest values live in________, so you should follow__________and be true to yourself.

7. More information often brings___________ into your mind. You shouldn't take in__________

than necessary.

8. You do not need to be in a hurry. You need to _____ in order to________ of your heart clearly.

9. Self-centred thoughts may make you _________ instead of __________ into your mind.

10. According to the passage, the writer shares _________ ways to have a peaceful mind and they

can make you feel calm and __________ during the day.
