But if the same person eats too much in the evening, not sleeping well throughout the night, and wakes up to rainy morning, he/she may suffer from a lack of confidence.Reference answers to the exercisesReading OneCheck your comprehension1.By sleeping in total darkness during the day and working under bright lights thatsimulate sunlight, rather than conventional indoor lighting.2.It relaxes muscles and stimulates the release of endorphins—chemicals that act asnatural pain relieves.3.No.4.We need to keep a meal schedule to get a good sleep.5.We should refrain from a) eating too late in the evening; b) eating heavy or spicyfood in the evening; and c) snacking in the middle of the night.6.The side effects of taking sleeping pills are: a) feeling groggy; b) insomnia gettingworse; c) developing a tolerance for sleeping pills: and d) a potentially fatal blood disorder with some sleeping pills.7.Alcohol suppresses restorative dream sleep, causes numerous short awakenings andmay but unrepressed toward morning.8.We can read a book, listen to quiet music, take a hot bath or try relaxationtechniques, such as meditation or yoga.9.Lights absorbed through the eyes can reset our biological clocks and make our sleepproblems worse.10.We should stay in bed because we would still get some rest that way.Check your vocabulary1.Because exercise can relax muscles and increase the release of endorphins, which arechemicals that are natural agents to reduce or get rid of pain, it helps to overcome stress.2.There are no special foods to help you sleep, but you can have a regular timetablefor your meals, just like a regular sleep timetable. A regular timetable for your meals helps keep your body clock running smoothly.3.Your body can also become used to the pills, and after a while they are no longereffective and you need larger doses or stronger drugs.4.Alcohol reduces refreshing dream sleep, causes numerous short awakenings and,once its calming effects have disappeared, may leave you wide awake but unrepressed toward mooring.5.The researches used bright light which is as strong as natural sunlight just after dawn(at least 100 times stronger than ordinary room light), which reset subjects’ body clocks by as much as 12 hours and made them as alert at midnight as they would ordinarily be at noon.Reading TwoCheck your comprehensionFTFFFTTCheck your vocabulary1. spontaneous;2. provoke;3. integrity;4. thrives;5. inflict;6. universal;7. illusion;8. revertReading Three1.a;2. d;3. b;4. c;5. cCheck your vocabulary1. aggression;2. symbolic;3. disguise;4. fulfillment;5. represent;6. reconstruct;7. anxious;8. guilt;9. therapist; 10. illuminate; 11. random; 12. spareReading FourCheck your comprehension ATFTTTFTCheck your vocabulary A1. image;2. mood;3. up-bringing;4. inanimate;5. folkloric;6. depressed;7. acknowledge;8 in combination with; 9. relieveCheck your vocabulary B1. indifferent;2. revolve;3. monochrome;4. passionate;5. decipher;6. inspired;7. allusion;8. correlatedPost-readingA.Getting to sleep at night and waking up in the morning are two perennialproblems for human beings, who do not always regard sleep as very important.The importance we attach to sleep is correlated with what kind of beds we use for sleep and how highly we rate beds in our life.B. 1. b; 2. c; 3. d; 4. a; 5. aUnit Five1. Interpretation of the quotations①The physical dimension involves caring effectively for our physical body—eating the right kinds of foods, getting sufficient rest and relaxation, and exercising on a regular basis. (Stephen R. Covey)The measurement of the elements relating to our body involves paying close attention to our body and keeping it in a healthy state by eating the right kind of food, getting enough rest and relaxation, and exercising regularly.②Early in life, people give up their health to gain wealth…In later life, people give up some of their wealth to regain health! (Ken Blanchard)When people are still young, they earn money at the expense of their health…When they get old, they spend money in order to restore their health.③. Remind yourself of the exorbitant price you can pay for worry in terms of your health. Those who do not know how to fight worry die young. (Dale Carnegie) Remember that worrying beyond a reasonable limit can affect your health adversely. Those who do not know how to control worry die at an early age.Reference answers to the exercisesReading OneCheck your comprehension ATFTFTFTCheck your vocabulary1.While many people in China and Chinatowns in other parts of the world have alreadyknown a lot about T ai Chi, the western researchers are just coming up from behind to reach the level of knowledge about Tai Chi from different perspectives.2.You can learn Tai Chi by following an instruction book or attending a Tai Chi class.Either way the aim is to practice it in accordance with your physical health.3.Tai Chi is a mixture of relaxation and safety.

A good wish to make friends may come to our minds easily and quickly, butestablishing a true friendship takes a long time and efforts, in the same way as fruit slowly ripens.3.If you want to succeed in gaining the support and loyalty of a man with hisdedication to your goal, you have to first prove to him that you are his true friend.Reference answers to the exercisesReading OneCheck your comprehension A.FTTFFTCheck your vocabulary1.Friendship does not rely on judgment.

The survey also found some disturbing news — 47 percent of Americans don‘t know when it‘s appropriate to （合适）see a mental health professional（心理健康专业人士） and 68 percent don't know how to find a mental health professional to help them. People may need professional help to maintain good psychological health in much the same way 相同that you need a dentist to examine a toothache, a physician to set a broken bone, and a lawyer to answer legal questions. ―One of the ways to achieve good mental health is to talk to people you trust about what‘s bothering you,‖ said Dorothy Cantor, Psy.

He is a bicycle motocross racer, and his name is Andrew Sue. He rides under Number One on the track, and he lives in Lansing, Michigan. He’s also Number One in other ways. He weighs about 34 kilograms. The boy is a two-time BMX, that’s Bicycle Motor Cross, national champion, and he’s also a two-time world champion. He’s right Number One for his age in the National Bicycle League and Number One in the American Bicycle Association’s Michigan II District. And he’s been a bicycle motocross racer since he was five years old. Andrew has collected more than 126 trophies for his feats on the track. His awesome display of hardware has not set around collecting dust, however. He donated many of the trophies, the hardware, to the Michigan Special Olympics. I don’t know if you are familiar with that. Now Special Olympics on television and he decided that he had so many trophies that he ought to give them some. And he talked it over with his parents that he ought to give them some. And he talked it over with his parents and they too thought it was a good idea. His father Tom Sue says that they were sort of running out of room in the house. After seeing the crippled children on television, they knew they had found a worthwhile purpose for the trophies. And Andrew’s unselfish gesture has brought praise from Michigan State Representative and Speaker of the House, Bobby Crimm. He wrote a letter and said, “ Your Mom and Dad must be very proud of you, Andy. You are truly an extraordinary young man.”And Andrew’s parents are obviously quite proud of what their son has done both on the track as a bicycle motocross Number One winner and also by giving the trophies to handicaps, participants in the Special Olympics. He knows that those trophies will bring other people great joy too.Part II- Bb, a, b, aPart II- CF T F F F T FPart II- D1.hiring painters2.doing advertising3.providing equipment4.taking care of payroll5.writing contract6.doing final inspection with customerTape scriptNineteen-year old Mark Laratonda is a local college student.

I get to work in many different places and I get to work outside. There a lot of responsibilities. But there are a lot of rewards.

I have drawn up a lit of questions that you ought to ask yourself."Have I given thought to what I would like to be doing 15 to 20 years from now?" Bear in mind that the career you choose will affect the future course of your life. It will partially determine your range of friends, your choice of husband or wife, where you live, your recreational activities, and other important aspects of your life."Have I a clear knowledge of my abilities and aptitudes, as well as my interests and aims?" Be honest about your weak points as well as your strong ones. Take a really good look at yourself and give real thought to the kind of person you are, what you are good at , and what kind of person you want to be."Do I know the kind of occupations in which people like myself tend to find success and satisfaction?" Once you have examined and found out about yourself, your nextquestion is what you really do with yourself. You can gain some idea of what other people, with similar abilities and interests, consider to be important and challenging in the careers that they choose, by talking to people already in the careers that interest you. Watch these people at work."Have I weighted carefully the immediate advantages against the long-term prospects offered by the jobs I am considering?" Will the occupation you select give you satisfaction, not just when you start, but in the years to come? Realize now the importance of education in all fields, technical and professional. Remember that when promotion occurs, preference is usually given to educated persons--other things being equal."Have I talked about my job preferences with my guidance counsellor, my parents, my teachers and my headmaster?" Remember they have tremendous fund of experience from which you should benefit. They can help you think about the jobs in which you will find satisfaction and challenge. They can stimulate you to give careful thought to what you really what to do, and offer useful suggestions as to how you might take full advantage of your personal qualities and qualifications."Have I made a real study of jobs? It takes a very long time to find the work that suits you the best. Reading about and studying a number of occupations is something you should do over and over again."How do I regard my job? Is it just a means of getting money to do the things that I want to do ? Is the work important to me and my future happiness and contentment? Is it a combination of both these things?"The above questions and their answers should give you some better ideas about how you should start planning your career. Your life-long job can not be approached in any kind of haphazard fashion. It must be considered carefully, examined from every angel, talked over with those who know you and those who can help you in any way.

Summons/ explain discrepanciesTape script:Of all things in the world, I most dislike filing up forms. In fact, I have a positive horror of it. Applying for a driving license, registering for an evening course, booking a holiday abroad- everything nowadays seems to involve giving information about one's personal life and habits that has little or nothing to do with the matter in hand. When applying for a job, it may be of some obscure interest to a prospective employer to learn that I collect stamps or bad measles as child. But why should he conceivably want to know that my father was a tobacconist to live in Foreland and died when he was 82. The authorities who require one to fill up forms frequently demand answers to questions that one would hesitate to put to one's intimate friends. The worst of it is that, when confronted with such questions, my mind goes blank and I can hardly remember my own date of birth, let alone my nationality. Have I ever suffered from a serious illness? Have I ? What do they mean by "serious"? I had my tonsils out in hospital when I was eight, and my mother always assured me I was delicate, but father contended I was born lazy. Do I suffer from my personal defects? Well, I wear contact lenses and my upper teeth are not my own. But perhaps the word "defect" applies to my character. Am I supposed to admit that I like gambling and find it difficult to get up in the morning, both of which are true? Of all, I think job applications are the worst- education, pervious experience, posts held, give dates. Terrified by the awful warning about giving false declarations, which appears at the bottom of the form, I struggle to remember what exams I passed and how long I worked for what firms. However hard I try, there always seems to be a year or tow for which I can not satisfactorily account and which, I am certain, if left blank, will give the impression that I was i prison or engaged in some occupations too dubious to mention. Even when the form is safely posted, there is no relief as I hourly await the summons from some furious official to explain the discrepancies on my form.。

They get tired and hungry; they make mistakes. 41 they have to mark stacks of 42 scrawled script in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure 43 the candidates.

However, French almost became the official language because of a war.The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French build a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1725. However, the French defeated Washington.The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted the French and won the battle.
