A year ago, my friend and I went to a nearby town to attend a wedding. After the reception, we were waiting for a public transport bus to go back home. It was nine o'clock at night, and although many buses passed, none stopped.
We waited for an hour and were getting desperate. We wouldn't be able to stay overnight because it was a weekday, and we both needed to work the next day. It was almost 10 p.m. when a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car. Probably sensing that we were
waiting for some means of transport, they stopped and gave us a lift. I was so touched by their kindness, and I expressed my thanks to them.
When we reached my hometown, the family dropped us at the nearest point from where we could catch a shared taxi to get back to the spot where we had parked our bike. On the way, a worker stopped the taxi. The driver saw his clothes and asked him whether he had money to pay the fare.
The worker shook his head and said, "No". On hearing this, the driver refused to take him. I remembered my own plight a few minutes earlier, and I told the driver to allow him to sit with us, as I would pay his fare. What an immediate opportunity to pass on the family's act of kindness! That night, I felt light-hearted and I went to sleep happily and filled with joy about what I had gotten to do. May this chain of kindness continue!

Taylor Swift added another great honor this year---- the first-ever Taylor Swift Award ---- at the 64th yearly BMI Pop Awards.
Held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, the ceremony honored the writers and publishers of the most-performed pop songs during the past year. The Taylor Swift Awardwas a recognition（认可）of both Swift’s musical influence and creative gift.
In her acceptance speech,Swift said that she was happy to get the award named after her. “It is really a relief that BMI decided to give me the Taylor Swift Award, because if they had chosen somebody else to give it to, I’d be like kind of angry about it,” the singer joked.
This eponymous (同名的) award marked only the second time in BMI’s history that the organization has presented an award in an artist’s name. Michael Jackson, a legendary（传奇的）artist, was the first to get that honor in 1990.
“Taylor Swif t is one of the most popular singers in US. She has shown pop culture through her songs,” said Barbara Cane, BMI’s Vice President of Writer/ Publisher Relations, “She has had
a deepinfluence, not only musically, but also through her personal belief and commitment to create a standard that values and respects music for everyone. We felt it suitable to award Taylor with an honor that is as special as she is.”

If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language.
A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of bilinguals who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning
a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of dif ferent ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger th ey started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
32. The main subject talked about in this passage is ________.
A. science on learning a second language
B. man’s ability of lea rning a second language
C. that language can help brain power
D. language learning and maths study
33. A bilingual means a person who _______.
A. researches language learning
B. can only speak English
C. can speak two languages
D. learned a second language at an early age
34. We may know from the scientific findings that ________.
A. whether you learn a foreign language does make a difference in your grey matter density
B. there is no difference between a second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language
C. the experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on people’s brain
D. the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time
35. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _________.
A. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects
C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D. you’d better choose the ages bet ween 2 and 34 to learn a second language

Have you ever set a goal for yourself and got excited to get working on it? The first few weeks are great! You’re moving forward. 36 Before you know it, your goals have taken a back seat. Sound familiar? We are not alone. Many face the same struggle. Here are the four ways to complete these goals.
Make yourself a priority（优先权）.
You most likely put others before yourself. It is a wonderful thing to want to help others, but
if you are putting others before your own priorities and goals, you will be quickly in a great pressure. This is a habit we have to get rid of. If we don’t care about ourselves first, we can’t be our best to help others. Take yourself seriously. 37
Make clear goals with action steps.
38___. Create action steps, and no matter how small you think they are, use them. It becomes a way for you to measure your progress. Don’t discount the small steps. When life gets in th e way it’s so much easier to move on or pick right back up when you have these small action steps to guide you.
Create your own hope.
This is your self-talk. Make it positive and daily. You do not need permission to take action towards your goals and don’t wait for someone to give you this permission. If you need to, seek positive influencers and listen to their stories. Learn to say “No.” ___39___. This is your journey, not theirs.
___40___
Have a mindset to be grateful for the things, people, and opportunities in your life. If we don’t appreciate what we have now, how would we be able to appreciate anything once we completed our goals? Each of us has our own life experiences and life struggles, which shape us into who we are. They are lessons that can either make you or break you. The choice is up to you and determines if you will be successful in achieving you goals.
A. The more details you can have with your goal, the better.
B. Make this a positive healthy habit.
C. Then life starts throwing tons of difficulties at you.
D. Learn to be thankful.
E. Focus on the process.
F. You don’t have to do everything for everyone.
G. This is actually difficult for those of us that care for others.

Dear teachers and friends,
I feel greatly honored to give a speech here on behalf of all the exchange students.
Living and studying here in Canada makes us very fulfilled. During our stay, we have a better understanding of the Canadian life, culture, society and so on, which have not only enriched our knowledge but also broadened our horizons. Apart from that, our abilities including listening, speaking and writing English have also got greatly improved. And it is all the English teachers and classmates here that we should owe many thanks to. Without your help, we couldn’t achieve so much.
True friendship never ends, so I hope we can keep in touch with each other even after we go back home. And I also sincerely hope that someday you can come to China for a visit.
That’s all! Thank you!。
