10．第一節(jié)閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)題目要求用英文回答問題。請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡指定區(qū)域作答。
The other day I was having coffee and catching up with Brian，a friend I hadn't seen in over a year，when he asked me this question："Do you regret leaving Google？""Of course，I don't regret it，" I answered.But when I reflected more deeply on his question，I arrived at this realization：We cannot regret something that has taught us valuable lessons in life.
Truth is，not every decision we make will be the right choice for us.I learned later that quitting my one and only source of income to start an e-commerce business from nothing was a recipe for financial disaster.No，that decision was not the right one at the time.Perhaps I should've followed the advice I give today：Build your business while working a full-time job so that you can work from a place of stability.But then again，I wouldn't have learned such a valuable lesson had I not acted upon what was truly important to me at the time—the freedom of pursuing my own dream，on my own terms.
We regret what's in the past and can't be changed.We compare the choices we made yesterday to an ideal path that we think we should have taken—we simply imagine it to be a better path.What is worse is when stuck in regret，we lose our control over what matters most：What we do with our time，today.
There's a much better way to look at regret—a more mindful way—and it can be seen at a place where action，reflection，and gratitude meet.
So whenever you find yourself caught in regret，stop and ask yourself these two questions："What have I learned from this？And how have I grown because of it？"Perhaps you might just shift your viewpoint from that of being upset and regretful to being appreciative and grateful.
（1）What did Brian's question make the writer realize？
（2）List the two words the author uses to describe the viewpoint people should take when facing regret.
（3）Please decide which part is false in the following statement，then underline it and explain why.
When people get stuck in regret，what makes the situation worse is that past choices can't be changed.
（4）What has been your biggest regret during your high school life？What have you learned from this？ （In about 40 words）組卷：13引用：4難度：0.6 -
