阅读理解 Perhaps you have ever heard the saying: Change is the only constant. Everyone, without doubt, goes through changes in their life, whether it is a physical state of aging or a mental state of emotional maturity. However, some are afraid to make the conscious decision to move or they think it's too late to have a fresh start. I have a friend named Jack. At the age of 37, he is a Senior Manager at one of the Big Four. He has a great salary, owns his own apartment and enjoys the fine things in life, but not without the heavy burdens that his job brings. On the surface, it looks like he has got life figured out. Yet when I once asked if he was happy with his work, he answered that he some- times wished to quit his job to do something less stressful. But he'd become accustomed to this lifestyle and felt that it would be too late to give it up to achieve a new ambition. For him, the risks are too high, so whether he can't abide his present job or not, he has to choose to suck it up. You might have come to a similar situation as Jack's or you might be a Jack. You're now facing a wall. No matter what it is—the stress of your job or the terrible feeling, it's time that you had to decide whether you'll tear down that wall or continue to let it enclose you. I suggest pushing back the boundaries and breaking the fixed patterns. Why do you feel it's too late to start over? That is simply because you're comparing yourself with others—younger or more successful individuals. In fact, you should compare yourself with the older version of you. Don't become that person who lets life pass by only to regret it when you are making your way into old age. Don't let your life plateau（停滞不前）and waste away in the daily chores. Don't give up the potential you still have hidden and be locked away by your current state. Now, you'd better bravely start going after the things you want to do, without abandoning your dreams, ambitions and responsibilities. （1） What kind of people does Jack represent according to the author? A . Those leading a happy life. B . Those having an easeful career. C . Those thinking it's too late to change. D .

Tolerate. （3） What does the author advise us not to do? A . Let life stand still. B . Enjoy the present job. C . Have a small goal in life. D . Consider ourselves as a failure. （4） Which is the best title for the text? A . Everyone Can Meet a Jack B . Don't Try to Control Yourself C . Never Think Change Is Too Late D . You Should Make Alteration Earlier 答案： C D A C
