I am a good mother of three children.I have tried never to let my passion stand in the way of being a good parent.

I no longer consider myself the center of the universe.I show up.I listen.I try to laugh.I am a good friend to my husband.I have tried to make marriage vows (誓言) mean what they say.I am a good friend to my friends，and they to me.Without them，there would be nothing to say to you today.

So here’s what I want to tell you today：Get a life.A real life，not a desire of the next promotion (提升)，the bigger paycheck，the larger house.

Get a life in which you are not alone.Find people you love，and who love you.And remember that love is not leisure (休闲)，it is work.Pick up the phone.Send an e­mail.Write a letter.And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

It is so easy to waste our lives，our days，our hours，and our minutes.It_is_so_easy_to_exist_instead_of_to_live.I learnt to live many years ago.Something really，really bad happened to me，something that changed my life in ways that，if I had my choice，it would never have been changed at all.And what I learned from it is what，today，seems to be the hardest lesson of all.

I learned to love the journey，not the destination.I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it，completely and totally.And I tried to do that，in part，by telling others what I had learned.

By telling them this：Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy.And think of life as a deadly illness，because if you do，you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived.

Busy senior managers need no longer waste time in showering themselves—an Australian company has invented a suit that can be worn while they wash.

The suit has been specially designed so that it can be cleaned under the showerhead.There is no need for soaking (浸泡)，dry cleaning—or even soap.

The Japanese market has taken a liking to the “shower suit”，described as “revolutionary” by its owner Australian Wool Innovation (AWI)，which is the research and marketing body that represents Australian woolgrowers.Orders have been placed for 170,000 of the woolen suits.

The suit could be worn in the shower，although it was probably better to hang it on a clothes hanger and carry it instead，AWI corporate affairs spokesman Stephen Feighan said.“The idea is that you hang it up and then...you give it a spray (喷雾)，and it’s dry the next morning，” Mr Feighan said.

A Japanese researcher working for AWI invented the suit by combining three technologies.The secret is the best lining (内衬)，which allows the suit to dry quickly.The shower suit attracted busy corporate people，particularly those who often traveled or stayed up late，Mr Feighan said.The airline industry was also interested.

Mr Feighan confessed he had not worn one of the suits yet，or tried to wash it in the shower，because they cut to fit Japanese figures.

AWI believes that the shower suit will spread from the Japanese market through Europe and India.Mr Feighan hoped the suit，made from local wool，would be available in Australia in 12 to 18 months’ time.

5.What is the writing purpose of the article?

A.To introduce a newly­designed shower suit.

B.To help the white collars arrange their life more sensibly.

C.To provide suggestions on saving time in bath.

6.Which is true about the suit according to the passage?

A.It can spare the owner’s trouble of soaking，dry cleaning and applying soap.

B.It is of the quality of fast dry for its best cloth.

C.It is not suitable for hanging.

D.It has attracted more orders than any other suit.
