But when she saw the massive group of students everywhere, her face at once fell and the tears (眼泪) came into her eyes. ＂You can do this, sweetie. Everyone has a place in line; let’s go to find yours.＂We lined up to enter the school. Just as she was about to hold on to my leg, her friend from preschool stood next to her. Suddenly, she became 4 and reached out for her friend’s hand. And as the teacher began to 5 them all into the school, she wasn’t crying, but smiling.Honestly, I was 6 to say goodbye when I saw those little feet walk into that big building. I hid the tears behind my sunglasses and waved my hand as she walked inside.All day I 7 what she was doing. As I waited to pick her up, I felt like a child standing in line to 8 Santa.

The left hand is used for washing yourself. Also in India, 'when you see a man shaking his head, you may think he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a shake of the head shows agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to say "yes'--a nod means "no". The Arabs are famous for their hospitality(好客). At a meal in the Arabic countries, you will find that any drinking vessel(器皿) is filled again and again as soon as you drain it. The way to show that you have had enough is to take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could make him or her unhappy. It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand you are not supposed to touch the head of an adult-- it's just not done. In Japan, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainment for themselves and leave their wives at home. In Europe such attitudes are disappearing.Customs differ from country to country. Visitors may be at a loss as to what to do in a foreign environment. Remember the rule: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.1．In which country a left-hand is not welcomed?A．Thailand. B．India. C．Japan. D．Bulgaria.2．In many parts of India, if someone shakes his head at another, it shows that heA．agrees B．disagrees C．refuses D．shocks3．Which of the following is NOT polite in Europe?A．To cross your legs.B．To touch the head of an adult.C．To drain the glass in your hand.D．Men planning evening entertainment, leaving their wives at home.4．If you don~t know the customs in another country, the golden rule to follow isA．to do in your own way B．to do nothingC．to visit home only D．to do as the natives dB14、Teens Enjoy ReadingAccording to a survey on reading conducted by the U.S. National Education Association (NEA), young Americans say reading is important—more important than computers and science. Over 50% of the twelve to eighteen years old children interviewed said they enjoy reading a lot. Seventy-nine percent find it stimulating and interesting, and 87% think it is relaxing. Most of those surveyed (68%) disagree with the opinion that reading is boring, or old-fashioned.Teens Read Variety of MaterialOver half the teenagers interviewed said they read more than ten books a year. The results also showed that middle school students read more books than high school students. Most teens (66%) like to read fiction, such as novels and stories. Only 26% were interested in non-fiction, such as biographies and history books. Sixty-four percent of students liked reading ‘stories about people of my own age’ as their favorite topic. Mysteries and detective stories came s econd on the list at 53%. Just under 50% said they were interested in reading about their own culture and heritage.Other InterestsOf the teenagers who took part in the survey, 49% said that libraries are where they get most of their books. However, many complained that their school libraries do not have enough up-to-date, interesting books and magazines. Even though many teenagers in the U.S. enjoy reading, they still have other interests. When asked which activity would be the most difficult to give up for a week, 48% said listening to music. TV would be difficult to give up for 25% of those surveyed.____Another survey which is published by www. studied the differences between teenage boys’ and girls’ reading habits. According to the report, more girls than boys read for fun. Many more girls (77%) than boys (6%) read fashion and beauty magazines.

There are numerous benefits to learning a second language, both personally and professionally.Firstly, learning a second language opens up a world of opportunities for travel and cultural exchange. When you can communicate in a different language, you are able to immerse yourself in new cultures and traditions, and truly understand the way of life in a different country. This can lead to lifelong friendships and unforgettable experiences.Secondly, learning a second language can boost your career prospects. In a competitive job market, having proficiency in a second language can set you apart from other candidates. It shows potential employers that you are adaptable, open-minded, and willing to step out of your comfort zone. Many multinational companies value employees who can speak multiple languages,as they can easily communicate with clients and colleagues from diverse backgrounds.Lastly, learning a second language can improve cognitive function and problem-solving skills. Studies have shown that bilingual individuals are better at multitasking, decision-making, and memory retention. Learning a second language challenges your brain and keeps it sharp, which can delay the onset of cognitive decline as you age.In conclusion, learning a second language is a valuable skill that can enrich your life in many ways. Whether you are interested in traveling, advancing your career, or improving your cognitive abilities, studying a second language is a worthwhile pursuit. So, don't hesitate to enroll in that language course, pick up that grammar book, and start your journey towards becoming bilingual.以上内容仅供参考。

He drives David and Andy crazy！Peter thinks heis great at everything！What makes David and Andy even crazier is the fact thatPeter IS good at everything！He always scores goals in soccer games. He wonfirst place in the school speech competition. He always gets perfect marks onhis tests. He can finish a math test first and get the best score in the class.How can one person be so good at so much?However，Peter is not good at one thing. He is not good at being a goodsport. No matter what Peter does well，he makes sure everyone knows aboutit. He is also quick to make unkind comments about other kids' mistakes. Davidand Andy's one wish is that Peter learns to be humble.Not many people tell Peter what a good job he does，or congratulate him onhis achievements，because Peter has already talked about them to everyone too proudly. He does not give anyone a chance to learn about anything he has done. David and Andy wish Peter could be more like Jack.Jack is the new kid in class this year. He does not talk much, but he is very good at many sports and is also super smart. It has taken the rest of the kids a whileto learn about Jack and all his talents. Andy，David，and the other kids are happy to congratulate Jack when he scores a goal or gets a great score on a test. Jack just smiles and says thanks. He often makes a nice comment back to express thanks for someone's kindness，and he often praises others' efforts at sporting events or school work. Andy and David have decided that they want to act more like Jack when they experience success. They wish Peter would team from Jack, too.24. What is Peter weak at?A. Giving a speech in public.B. Scoring goals in soccer games.C. Getting good marks on his tests.D. Accepting other people's mistakes.25. Not many people praise Peter becauseA. he always shows himself off firstB. people think he is an ordinary boyC. few people know his achievementsD. he doesn't do very well in anything26. Peter should learn from Jack because Jack isA. sportyB. helpfulC. respectfulD. confidentC"Five more minutes" is the first thought of many people when their alarms ring in the morning. This first thought is usually followed by hitting the snooze button(小睡催醒按钮）and falling back asleep for a few more moments. Hitting the snooze button has become a habit for millions of people, but it is time to examine this habit and develop new habits for feelingmore rested during the day.Though hitting the snooze button allows people a few more minutes ofsleep, it causes unhealthy sleep patterns(模式）．Most people think if theyare tired when they first wake up，they need more sleep. However，theyare mistaken when they conclude that any sleep is good sleep. Sleeping is aprocess with different cycles. To feel fully rested，the body must gothrough all the sleep cycles. Falling back asleep after hitting the snoozebutton restarts the process，but when the alarm rings again several minuteslater，the process is interrupted. The body has not gone through all the cycles，and this can cause the body to feel sleepy for the rest of the day. This sleepinesscan affect memory，the ability to make choices，and performance at work or school.Sleepiness may also happen if the body's biological rhythm（规律）is interrupted. People normally fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning becausetheir rhythms are operating naturally. The rhythms are affected by repeateduse of the snooze button，which can cause feelings of sleepiness during theday and an inability to fall asleep at night.Rather than depending on the snooze button，people need to consider developing different routines. The easiest choice is to put the alarm on the otherside of the room. Having to get out of bed to turn it off decreases the possibilityof hitting the snooze button. Another choice，if your routine allows it，is to just reset the alarm. Setting your alarm for 30 minutes later will make the wholesleep process longer instead of always restarting it. However，it must bestressed that getting up 30 minutes later in the morning is not an excuse to stayup 30 minutes later the night before.Though a few extra minutes of sleep may seem to promise a better start tothe day，hitting that snooze button creates an unhealthy sleep pattern.27. The second paragraph is mainly aboutA. what unhealthy sleep patterns most people haveB. what people should do to feel fully rested in the day timeC. why people feel like going back to sleep after first waking upD. why a few minutes of sleep after first waking up causes bad effects28.

Researcher Barry Schwartz calls this“choice overload"．"As the number of options可选择的事物）increases, the costs in time andeffort of collecting the information needed to make a good choice also increase，”writes Schwartz.“The level of certainty people have about their choice decreases. And the possibility that they will regret their choice increases.”Understanding how and why we make decisions can perhaps help us make better choices. We make poorer decisions when we are tired. The mind can only deal with so many options and make so many choices before it starts to lose energy. That's why buys like candy bars and magazines at the checkout(付款处）in the store can be hard to resist, We've used up all our good decision7making skills.The same goes for our workday. Making lots of decisions not only tires us, it can put us in a bad mood. That's why it's important to make your most important decisions in the morning rather than at the end of a tiring day.When we're tired，we often save our energy by making choices based on a single factor(因素）like price, rather than considering all the other factors thatgo into making the best decision. Another study out of Columbia Universityshows that this happens when people are given a lot of features(特点）to choose from when buying a car. After a while，people start asking for the commonoption rather than carefully weighing each decision.This can also happen when faced with a decision in your creative work.Given endless options of which route to take，we sometimes end up going withthe more usual path simply because it's the easier way to go. So it's importantto put limits on your options，which can develop your creativity and help you make a better decision.In other words，letting yourself have fewer options to choose from can help you arrive at a more creative answer.30.
