AFour habits to live a happier lifeHaving a happier life is something we all always struggle for, and being happy includes so many aspects — mental, physical and spiritual — of our lives. One of the key principles of having a happier life is to always do things that bring us happiness. 1Consider the following habits to improve your life and make it as happy as you possibly can.Praise others.Be kind to others, like praising them. 2 Don't be afraid to tell people how great they look, or how awesome their smile is. It'll do them good, and do you good too!Focus on the present moment.Take some time every day to focus on the present moment. 3 Try not to think about negative past experiences and hug the time you have now. You'll soon find that even theslightest thing that you do at this moment can bring about happiness for many hours and days to come.Learn to control your emotions.4 And it's definitely not worth the emotions. Don't compromise on your happiness just because someone is trying to pick a fight. Just let it go (不要理会) and be happier.5Just before you go to bed, write down at least one wonderful thing that happened. It might be something as small as a child's laugh or something as huge as a million-dollar deal. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.A. End each day with thankfulness.B. Of course, everyone loves to be happy.C. It is the only certain time we have in our life.D. It can make people happy and give them confidence.E. It's not worth the argument when your partner is testing your patience.F. So it is important to develop the right habits to ensure we live a happier life.G. Try to set aside a few hours a day, doing something fun to make yourself happy.BDo women talk more than men? 1 According to the latest research from the United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate. Professor Deborah Tannen, of Georgetown University, has noticed differences in the style of boys' and girls' conversations from an early age. According to her study, little girls' conversation is less clear than boys' and expresses more doubts. 2These differences will continue into adult life, she says. In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more than women do. In private conversations, men and women speak in almost equal amounts. 3 Professor Tannen believes that, for women, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy (亲密). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure (结构) of a relationship.4 “When a woman teaches another woman,” says Professor Tannen, “she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in. When a man teaches a woman, however, he wants to show that he has more knowledge and power in conversation.5 ”Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is preprogrammed for language. As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias (偏向) in its programming; otherwise, male speech patterns would not arise at all.A. And he uses his language to show this.B. Do men talk in the same way as women?C. However, they say things in a different style.D. Women are far more silent than men in public conversations.E. Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.F. More women are encouraged to help each other, talking about their doubts.G. Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show.CThe exciting game of footballFootball is one of the most popular sports in the US. 1 That kind involves kicking a round ball into a net and is called soccer in North America. American football, however, uses a ball that is pointy (尖的) on both ends. While it does include some kicking, there is more throwing and catching involved.In football, there are 11 players from each team on the field at one time. Each team tries to move the ball across the opposing team's goal line to score. The quarterback (四分卫) throws the ball, and the person who catches it tries to run past the opposing team's players. The way to stop someone running with the ball is to tackle him. That means hitting right against him and trying to knock him down to the ground. 2The biggest professional football organization in the US is the National Football League (NFL). The NFL championship game is called the Super Bowl, and it is one of the most watched television events around the globe. 3 For example, millions of toilets are flushed (冲洗) at the same time during half-time. Also, 14,500 tons of chips are consumed during the game.Most sports fans are happy with just sitting in the stands and cheering on their teams. 4 They dress themselves in their team's colors. Some of the excitement happens before the games even begin. Fans gather and hang out in the parking lots outside the stadiums and have huge parties. 5 There are also endless amounts of sodas and beers. All of these combined with the game itself make football one huge and popular social event.A. However, it isn't the game of football played in other parts of the world.B. As a result, professional players have to be strong and quick.C. It is an exciting sport that can sometimes get pretty rough.D. There are many amazing facts about the Super Bowl.E. It is also the wealthiest sports league in the world.F. Everything from sandwiches to chips is served.G. For some, that is not enough.DThere are a number of tips that you can follow to help you find a job that suits your personality.List your strong and weak pointsBefore you start your job search, take some time to think about your strong and weak points. 1 If you are excellent at managing your time, for example, a job in project management, or one that involves organising others, could be perfect.Ask others for their opinionsAlthough you should know yourself better than anyone else, there are times when a second opinion is needed. 2 They may come up with ideas that you haven't considered.You should, however, make sure that they aren't so protective of you that they persuade you not to push yourself, or encourage you so much that you aim too high.Find out what potential jobs involve3 Make sure you do as much research as possible to determine exactly what you will have to do. An office job may sound very safe if you are shy, but if you then find that you have to give regular presentations, you may not be cut out for it after all.4When looking for a job, many people have an idea of what they would like to be in the future. However, that is often little more than a dream and, even if it is possible to reach that goal, it may involve years of hard work that you don't enjoy. 5 If you can find a job that mirrors what makes you happy in life, then the chances are that you will enjoy it and it will match your personality type.A. Take a personality testB. Consider what delights youC. Think about what makes you happy and then analyse why.D. Finding a job that suits your personality is very important.E. Ask your friends and family what sort of job they think would suit you best.F. Sometimes, it isn't immediately obvious what a job will involve until you start it.G. More importantly, think about how they would affect your ability to do particular jobs.答案A 1-5 FDCEAB 1-5 BECGAC 1-5 ABDGFD 1-5 GEFBC解析A篇（日常活动）本文是说明文。

Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 3 Colleagues against bosses. Big – name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament.

And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail? At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (企业家) in the UK found that 70% felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public. Britain is hostile (敌意的) to success, they said.

Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to dem luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action.

高考英语阅读七选五题型专项练习10篇(附答案)
Several times each year the Queen gives afternoon tea parties at which guests are served tiny cakes filled with cream from her own cows. Cakes and sandwiches are brought in by footmen, yet you never see the Queen touch a thing. She simply sits beside a big silver plate, pouring cups of tea for everyone and carefully avoiding the cakes.At cocktail parties the Queen moves from group to group, chatting informally, and manages to make one glass of diet(节食)drink to last an entire evening.Tours abroad are difficult because hosts(主人)seem to believe the warmth of their welcome must be shown with wonderful state banquets(宴会). But the Queen has perfected the art of appearing to enjoy her meal without actually eating much.During one visit to the Pacific islands of Tonga, a specially-prepared dinner was arranged in a hut made of wood and bamboo leaves. Deep holes were dug in the ground, filled with hot stones and baby pigs, and the pigs were slowly baked over several days. The Queen looked uneasily at her plate when she discovered a whole roast pig was her serving.Then she became uneasy when a turkey, some meat, bananas and an apple were also carried in for each guest. So she depended on her old favorite trick of talking with her host. , King Tupou IV, carrying on a warm conversation. At the same time she pushed her food around her plate and only ate a piece of turkey and some fruit.Reporters traveling with her have noted that the Queen will sometimes seem so carried away by a foreign leader’s political chat that she simply never has time to finish a meal before it is time to get up and make her speech. She will lift her fork to swallow a mouthful, then put it down again to make another point, leaving almost all of her meal untouched.1.

For example, if a wife “leads her husband by the nose”, she makes him do whatever she wants him to do.2 They will not change their opinions or positions on anything. If someone is “hard-nosed”, chances are that he will never “pay through the nose”, or pay too much money for an object or service.It is always helpful when people “keep their nose out of other people's business”. They do not interfere(干涉). The opposite o f this is someone who “noses around” all the time. 3 He is considered “nosey”. Someone who “keeps his nose to the grindstone(旋转磨石)” works very hard. This can help a worker “keep his nose clean” or stay out of trouble.One unusual expression is “that is no skin off my nose”. This means that a situation does not affect or concern me. We also say that sometimes a person “cuts off his nose to spite his face”. That is, he makes a situation worse for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry. More problems can develop if a person “looks down his nose” at someone or something. 4 This person might also “turn up his nose” at something that he considers not good enough. This person thinks he is better than everyone else. He “has his nose in the air”.5 They refuse to obey orders or do any work. Maybe these students do not know the correct answers. My mother always told me, if you study hard, the answers should be “right under your nose” or easily seen.A. This kind of person is interested in other people's private matters.B. In school, some students “thumb their nose” at their teacher.C. The nose also has a lot of other functions.D. Some people are said to be “hard-nosed”.E. The nose is also used in many popular expressions.F. He is interested in things that concern his work.G. The person acts like something is unimportant or worthless.第五篇：Tips for cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time, __1____Mone y is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule: Think ahead.

Are you making one loaf of bread? 3 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.

It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. 5 and don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A.

He may get a credit card in your name and spend it carelessly without paying the bills; 1 and you have to be responsible for the traffic accidents he causes…Why is identity theft becoming so common? 2 .

It has classrooms and teachers and more than 275,000 graduates. 1 Instead, they are McDonald’s restaurant owners and workers learning how to do their jobs better.Hamburger University isn’t a business school. It’s a corporate university (企业大学). 2 As a result, the school teaches skills and methods that help improve efficiency in McDonald’s restaurants.Hamburger University is one of the world’s most famous corporate universities, but it is far from unique. 3 Companies operate corporate universities for many different reasons. Some improve the technical skills of employees. Others focus on training people in management. Still others help employees develop skills like learning to learn, creative thinking and problem solving.4 Their students often come from distant places and have full-time jobs. To make training possible for students, corporate universities have to use very flexible teaching methods. Some companies pay for their employees to attend specific classes at a local university. Others work with outside educators to develop courses for employees to take at their workplaces. Still others develop their own programs consisting of weekend and online courses.Corporate universities may never compete with traditional schools. But they have changed the way many see education.

I enjoyed staying with my grandparents when I was young child.1 People knew everyone, their kids, their pets and their ancestors. The relationship with them continued to grow as I grew and got older.2 She would make little sandwiches and we’d have tea parties. She’s plant flowers and carefully tend them. I remember the small thimble she would use while doing her needlework. Placing her thimble on her finger she’s remark: “I wouldn’t want to sew without one.”A few years ago when my grandmother passed away, I bade farewell to a loving grandmother.3 We had just had tea together a couple of moths earlier, on her 91st birthday. I missed her very much, but I noticed it particularly on my birthday, as there was no card from my grandmother. She’d never forgotten my birthday!On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low, something happened to make me feel like she was sharing that special day with me. 4 They are what she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow. It was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam that I carefully opened, and to my delight out came a tiny silver thimble!5 Not realizing it had fallen off her finger, she sewed it in that little pillow that I just “happened” to fluff. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others I’ve collected over the years, where I could continue to see the gift God chose to reveal to me.What a precious memory of a very special lady who somehow, I knew, was delighted to sew her thimble inside my pillow!A. How quickly our lives can change!B. I refused to go to the small town later.C.I loved the small town they lived in.D. I was arranging some colorful pillows.E. How sad I was to be unable to see a loving grandmother.F. Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting.G.

It was crowded with customers. 1 Nowadays, high streets are declining, with very few shops and shoppers. With about 14 shops down every day, Britain’s high streets are dying little by little.2 It’s fairly easy to understand. To start with, people are spending less because of the economic recessi on(衰退). On top of that, more and more people are using the Internet to do their shopping. And it is not easy for shopkeepers in the high streets, either.3 Finally, there are the out-of-town retail parks with free car parking that sell just about everything at very low prices.What can be done? Prime Minister David Cameron has hired Mary Portas, a British business woman and star of TV show Mary Queen of Shops, to bring some life back into Britain’s high streets. She's talked about creating “magnets(磁石)” to attract people back to the centre. 4 In one town, a bicycle rickshaw(人力车) service is delivering people's shopping to their homes. 5 , where children can be cared for while parents are shopping.Members of the public have also voiced their opinions. “My ideal shopping center is one where there’s a wide selection of attractive looking shops, with cheap parking and good public transport links,” said a 28-year-old man. “I’d like to see Night Shopping evenings where shops are open through to 10 pm or later,” said a 22-year-old girl.A. They have to pay increasing high rents.B. But he is not the only one to solve the problem.C. But that’s all changed.D. In another town, they set up a nursery,E. In another town, they set up night shopping centers,F. They can make a fortune overnight.G. Why are high streets in such a desperate situation?第十篇：For some people，the warmest memories from childhood come from being read a great story． 1 It develops children’s language skills and increases the ir ability to succeed in school and，later，work．A new report by the American Academy of Pediatrics says reading aloud is so important that parents should start as soon as their children are born and continue to read aloud even after their children can read by themselves．They say parents should also point to and talk about pictures in books for infants(婴幼儿)． 2The company Scholastic is a major U．S．publisher of children’s books．Every two years，Scholastic publishes a report on American reading attitudes and habits．The 2015 report says only 31 percent of children in the U．S．read a book for fun almost every day．3 One is simply to have books in the home．Elizabeth Lyttleton，the mother of three，is lucky．Her mother once wrote and illustrated children’s books，so the family always have plenty to read．She says all her children learn from books—but in different ways.4 Researchers from the Scholastic company found that 80％of children surveyed —of all ages—say they love being read to．And children ages 6 to 11 whose parents do not read to them anymore say they miss it．5 _ Of all the six to 17-year-olds in the Scholastic study，more than 90％said their favorite books are the ones they chose for themselves．A．The Scholastic report also suggests permitting children to choose their own books．B．Scholastic also identifies some ways to develop a love of reading in a child．C．A book does not have to be serious to be good for kids．D．For young children，parents should ask questions about the book．E．Do children still read for fun?F．Another way to develop a reading habit in children is to read to them．G．But reading to children does more than create warm memories．第十一篇：Helping Students Find Their Writing V oicesOne of the most frustrating things for writing teachers is reading papers that simply lack style. When all of the research has been completed and all of the sentences are structured well, but the paper still lacks some pizzazz（活力），it can be boring to grade. If you are searching for ways to help your students find their voices, why not try making students themselves the topic of the writing? 1Who are you?One of the most difficult questions for students to answer is: “Who are you?” 2 In doing this, through writing, students will start to see their personalities differently and, hopefully, be able to add a feature to their writing.Dear John3Encourage them to write to a famous person they’ve always admired, and then the one they absolutely hate. Explore how their language changes between the two letters. When students know their audiences, it is much easier for them to add the kind of personality their audience wants to see．4When students write about what matters most to them, they will often give you the best writing you’ve ever seen. You’ll get those when you ask questions that hit home. When students have something to say about a given topic, it can be easier for them to get their ideas down and then work on their writing style.Get the words on paper, and then edit themThe most valuable lesson students can learn is to write first, and edit later. Have students written for five minutes about their topics. If they can get their ideas down on paper, that’s 90% of the battle. 5 This can help them realize that, once they have the ideas down, the rest is just fine tuning（微调）. Once they have this skill mastered, it’s easy for them to start adding their own personal voices to their papers.A.What matters to you?B. What style is taught in class?C. When they write about themselves, students’ voices often shine through.D. Writing letters is a great way for students to explore their writing style.E. Have your students explored who they are and what makes them unique.F. V oice is that magical quality which is able to make a creative writing idea sing!G. After that, have them edit these ideas into a really strong introductory paragraph.第十二篇：How to Sleep BetterIf you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning，waking up more than once，for example)，th is text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.1．Get on schedule. Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality. 1 For example，if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work，you might go to bed around 10 pm，because that’s when you start to feel sleepy，and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep. If，on the weekend，you sleep until 9 a.m，you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1 a.m.2. 2 Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep. Digestion slows down while asleep，and a full stomach may interrupt sleep .Similarly，you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach，as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.3. 3 Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body’s internal clock. Turn your light off，or use a very dim night light. 4 They include windows，LED clocks，computer lights and cable boxes.4．Change your sleeping position. You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing，but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference. 5 A．Try to avoid all sources of light.B．Keep the room as dark as possible.C．Make note of unusual circumstances.D．Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.E．Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.F．In other words，sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”．G．If you wake up in the middle of the night，make an effort to have a comfortable position.第十三篇：Seeing with SoundAccording to a British news report，some blind people may finally get a chance to “see”．1 Dr. Peter Meijer，a scientist at Philips Research Laboratories in the Netherlands，has developed a new system called the vOICe．The three middle letters in vOICe stand for “Oh，I see．” Meijer’s groundbreaking technology may change the lives of visually impaired people all over the world．A wearable setup of vOICe system consists of a head-mounted camera，stereo headphones and a notebook PC．The system translates visual images from a camera into complex sounds． 2The program is based on the theory that people can hear certain sounds and learn to translate them into meaningful mental images．Everything has its own unique sound． 3 The height of an object or person could be determined by pitch(音调)．And a built-in color identifier speaks out color names when it is turned on．What the vOICe users have to learn is which sound goes with which object．Meijer says that he is counting on the brain’s ability to adapt．4 Within two weeks，most people who experiment with the vOICe system are able to identify objects such as walls and doors．They are also able to identify certain situations，including whether the lights in a room are on or off．5 Meijer thinks that translating will eventually become automatic for many users of the vOICe，bringing a form of vision to them for the very first time．A．Brighter areas sound louder than darker areas．B．It then sends these sounds to a person through headphones．C．However, they are not learning to see with their eyes；they are learning to see with their ears．D．The vOICe system is aiming to treat blindness by translating images from a camera into audio signals．E．Meijer supposes that the brain is interested in the information “content”，but not the information “carrier”．F．To evaluate the new system’s effectiveness, a nu mber of visually impaired people were chosen to test the v0ICe．G．Over time, some users have even learned to “watch” television or “recognize” the outlines of buildings as they walk．第十四篇：What A Real Leader DoesIs a leader merely a manager ? What should we expect from our leaders ? 1Yes, we do need leaders. On our own, we lack the vision, direction , and strength to reach our goals. We were all in need of guidance when we were children —— even the cleverest child could not possibly be expected to make certain crucial decisions. Once we become adults, with the capacity to reason for ourselves, we are facing so many pressures of daily survival that we rarely find time and energy to focus on life’s larger issues. And when we do, our emotions and subjectivity limit our vision and our movement.2 When we are occupied with our self-interest —— petty or great, a leader sends out a wake-up call, alerting us to seek the true priorities in life.With so many people trying to be leaders there days, how do we recognize a true leader ? To answer this question, we must step back and ask : 3A true leader wants nothing more than to make people stand on their own, as leaders in their own right. Instead of trying to blind us with his or her brilliance, a true leader reflects our own light back to us, so that we can see ourselves anew.The differences between a leader and a boss : A boss drives their employees, and a leader coaches them. A boss inspires fear, and a leader generates enthusiasm. A boss says “I”, and a leader says “We”. A boss places blame for breakdowns, and a leader fixes them. 4Decide now. Decide today. Are you going to be a real leader ?

Studies show that it can prevent many major health conditions, including cognitive decline, diabetes, certain cancers and more.________"Our lives are completely full. We may have children, aging parents, jobs, partners, and community," says Barbara Hannah Grufferman, author of The Best of Everything After 50.If you don't have a regular exercise plan, don't worry! There are simple things you can do to get more exercise, no gym membership or hours of commitment required.Walk-and make it countEven if you're not in shape, you can likely walk. And that's good news, because many studies illustrate that it's one of the best things we can do for our bodies. Grufferman suggests getting a pedometer(计步器），whether it's a simple mechanical one, or a FitBit or Jawbone.________ And then, start walking faster and longer-most experts recommend walking 10,000 steps a day. Reduce sittingYou've probably heard," sitting is the new smoking." Well, this means that loads of research has shown that sitting for extended periods of time can have serious health consequences that range from obesity to diabetes and more. ________ It's also essential to take breaks from your sit-down desk.Run if you canIt might seem out of reach, but if you can add some light running into your daily walk, you'll be better for it.

When first introduced in Japan in 1999, emojis were limited to 176 simple designs. Now there are more than 3,000 emojis. Due to their popularity, the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year in 2015 was a pictograph instead of a traditional word.In today's world, emojis have become more and more popular.________ People like them because they add emotional meanings, and are quick and easy to use. With a smiling or sad face added to a message or post, your reader can "see" your facial expression while reading your words.________ For instance, if your friend is moving across the country, you may just send them a string of crying faces to express your sadness over your separation.________ A Shakespeare series for young readers has taken William Shakespeare's popular plays and replaced some words with textspeak and emojis. The intention of these adaptations is to make the classics more accessible to young readers. Some people, however, believe that these new versions have taken away the heart and soul of Shakespeare's plays.As we can see, emojis have a tendency to pop up all over the place. Users of emojis say that they facilitate the way we communicate and express ourselves. But this makes others, especially educators, worry that we are losing the ability to communicate properly using the written word, or even the spoken word. After all, how many of us today would rather send a message packed with emojis than make a telephone call?________ On that day, emojis will have become a real pictorial "language". But, for now, maybe it's best that we just enjoy using them.A. Maybe emojis' best days are ahead.B. The most popular emojis are absolute classics.C. The use of emojis has even spread to classical literature.D. Perhaps people will one day choose to communicate in pictures.E. It seems that emojis have clear advantages over written language.F. Emojis are small symbols representing ideas, emotions or feelings.G. Emojis can also help people express their feelings when they can't find the appropriate words.The WHO says that 80% of the world's teens don't get enough exercise to live healthy lives. The report was based on research done with students aged 11 to 17 in 146 different countries.________ It's a pity that not much has changed since then, as the WHO reports.Doctors say 60 minutes of exercise daily is needed for teens to build up their bone and muscle strength. It's also hugely important for the health of the heart and lungs. ________ Besides, more and more research is showing that exercise doesn't just help the body, but also the brain, improving thinking, test scores, and school grades.________ They were also very different between boys and girls. In the US, for example, 64% of boys were not active enough, compared to 80% of girls. South Korea was the country with the lowest activity levels — 91% of the boys and 97% of the girls didn't get enough exercise.One big reason for the lack of activity in today's teens is technology, such as smartphones, computers and TVs. Many teens find it hard to pull themselves away from them. ________So the WHO warns that teens need to do less playing in the digital world, and more playing in the real world. Teens should take part in sports, whether on official teams or just playing around on the playground. ________ For many people, walking or biking to school is one way to make that happen. It's very important for young people to build these habits now, because the positive effects of those habits can carry through into adult life.A. Exercise benefits you academically.B. Activity levels vary from country to country.C. The WHO has spared no effort in the research.D. Such inactivity can severely affect their growth.E. Exercise can also be built into a normal day's activities.F. Regular activity can help them control their weight, too.G. The WHO has been studying teen activity levels since 2001.。

People used to think of a job as full-time, permanent, paid work done for an employer at a work site. But in our changing world, a job is a set of duties or tasks. It can be paid or unpaid________ Even someone who is self-employed has a job.An occupation is a group of jobs with similar responsibilities that require a common set of skills.________ Programmers may have permanent or temporary jobs working for specific employers, be self-employed, work full-time or part-time, be paid for their work or volunteer their services.

Don't expect to have it all.________ You can't order every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, careers not chosen, to name a few. You can imagine some “what if' situations if you must, but do not let them take up too much space in your brain.________It's often good to think through your decisions. But don't overdo it. Research can reach a point where returns begin to reduce, which makes it confusing more than clarifying. Many good decisions can be made based as much on intuition (直觉) as on careful assessment of endless data.Don't delay making decisions.Yes, there is a time to put off making a decision. Perhaps you need more information________ Or it's likely that you wait for a less stressful time. Just don't wait so long that the decision is made by your own indecisiveness.Don't be hard on yourself.You decide to go on a voyage. You choose an expensive liner.

So, that's no bad thing!Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could be harmful to a person later on. But despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.________Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College leaders, told BBC News “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives”. In reality, it's all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.________One 13 year old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because I'm earning money and it helps increase my confidence in speaking to people and socializing with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up on a Saturday morning________A.

Other things alike include body smell and its opposite, the wearing of strong perfume, messy desks, or bad breath.________.Checking email on your phone when you're talking to other peopleA recent survey shows that 49 percent of people said their bosses checked their phones while talking with them.________. If you've ever wondered why your team members are unmotivated, this may be why. In fact, when you're talking to someone at work, you should reject any non-important calls.________Do you like the sound of your own voice? Great. Perhaps it's time you learned to like the sound of other people's voices too. If you interrupt others when they speak, they'll dislike you and discount whatever you're saying. And if you routinely take up three quarters of the meeting with your monologues（独角戏）, people will turn off and, quite rightly, start checking email on their phones. However, if you listen to what others say and show interest by asking intelligent questions, they'll love you and be likely to give you their support when you speak.Showing off how much you earn________. If you show off your income to someone and then discover you get less than them, you'll look like a fool. If you earn more, they'll feel tired of you. So keep them guessing and hide your earning power in quiet ways — like always paying for the team coffees.A. Talking all the timeB. Being a good listenerC. Team-working can never be ignoredD. All these things will become part of your personal brandE. It's better to be modest when you talk about your incomesF. Bad behavior at work is common — and often we do it without thinkingG.

Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone's reading it. However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way________ Maybe a kid in the neighborhood wanted you to steal with him.Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don't go along with the group.________ The idea that “everyone's doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/his mind from what she/he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer-just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer!________________ Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better.A. Peers can have a good effect on one another.B. Peer pressure is the direct influence on people by peers.C. Good peers may give you a hand when you are in trouble.D. That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.E.

Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For example, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or hungry. A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed. Timing is everything if the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation for now.________ Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you're listening. ________ Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others' feelings can disagree without getting things ugly.________ How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you're going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-maker—they're interesting people who like to watch movies and go shopping—just like their teenagers!What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky?________You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.

Find a park or a small patch(小块地)of green, or just stick your head out of the window! You have many ways to appreciate nature.Listen to music. Many people listen to music to calm themselves down. Music actually lifts us out of ourselves. It can also draw our attention from boring and tiring things________.________ Certain activities like yoga and tai chi need quiet focus.

But what if you are in the city?C. Notice the animals around you.D. It is a time to get stressful thoughts out of your head.E. Music is a way to express the way that they are feeling.F.

You don't have to find a mountain to sit on, or empty your mind of all thoughts for hours.11.The Bystander (旁观者) EffectWhen an emergency situation occurs, observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses.________The bystander effect is also called the Genovese effect, which is named after Catherine “Kitty” Genovese, a young woman who was cruelly murdered on March 13, 1964. Early in the morning, 28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work. As she approached her apartment entrance, she was attacked and stabbed (刺) by a man later identified as Winston Moseley. Despite Genovese's repeated cries for help.________The attack first began at 3:20, but it was not until 3:50 that someone first contacted police．Many psychologists were set thinking by the incident, as well as most Americans. As the conclusion, the bystander effect came out and later proved by a series of studies and experiments.There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect.________Because there are other observers, individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present. The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways. When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not appropriate.________ In the case of Kitty Genovese, many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed that they were witnessing a "lovers' quarrel", and ________A. They hesitate and assess the risk of getting hurtB. This phenomenon is referred to as the bystander effect.C. Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to take action if the situation is unclear.D. First, the presence of other people creates a division of responsibility.E. they did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered.F. none of the people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police for help.G. the attacker didn't stop stabbing her.12Traveling is a very enjoyable experience as it provides an opportunity to see new things.________The following article discusses the advantages of traveling.Traveling gives you the opportunity to disconnect from your regular life. People all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, and traveling alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are to you.________Another great benefit is the relaxation you get.________When you come back you feel energetic and you are happy to be back to your daily routine.________They will create a bond that nothing can erase no matter what happens to the friendship.

State the different forms of the verbs on page50 of your French workbook. Read pages 12 through 20 of the Shakespeare play, and don't forget to fill in the missing chemical symbols on the worksheet.Sound like a list of your homework for the next few nights －or maybe even just for tonight? ________It's your teachers' way of evaluating how much you understand what's going on in class. And it helps strengthen important concepts.________ It's inviting to start with the easy things to get them out of the way. However, you'll have the most energy and focus when you begin, so it's best to use this mental power on the subjects that are most challenging. Later, when you're more tired, you can focus on the simpler things. If you get stuck on a problem, try to figure it out as well as you can －but don't spend too much time on it because this can mess up your homework schedule for the rest of the night.________But don't pick someone whom you'll be up all night chatting with, or you'll never get it done!Most people's attention spans aren't very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive than if you stop every so often. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.________Once your homework is done, you can check over it if you have extra time. Be sure to put it safely away in your backpack －there's nothing worse than having a completed assignment that you can't find the next morning or that gets ruined by a careless brother or sister.________Now you're free to hang out.A. Homework is a major part of going to school.B. Luckily, you can do a few things to do less homework.C. When you start your homework, deal with the hardest tasks first.D.

You’ll live longer if you d o There is no d enying that 2020 has reduced activity levels. Between the Zoom meetings, Netflix binges and virtual cocktail hours, increased sitting is a pandemic-driven reality for many.31．But there is good news! Despite all that sed entary time, with as little as 11 minutes of movement a day, you can increase your life span, a recent study has found.32．It's true; past studies, including a popular study from 2016, had originally put the daily exercise target at 60 to 75 minutes for mortality benefits. However, that study was based on self-reported data, which this latest study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, found to be flawed due to people misremembering their actual activity levels.Taking a more objective approach, scientists at the Norwegian School of Sports Medicine based their research on the use of activity monitors to track exercise versus sedentary time. The results showed that participants who exercised 35 minutes per day saw the biggest statistical difference on life span. Yet just 11 minutes of moderate exercise — equivalent to a brisk walk — still had a noticeabl e positive impact. 33．Here is a way to consider—4 sets of a 3-minute body-weight exercise sequence. Depending on the exercises you use, you may go at a slightly different pace during each round, making it about 11 minutes. When sel ecting your exercises, try to pick a sequence of movements that will equate to a full-body workout of mod erate effort. 34．Ideally, do a combo, determining the number of repetitions for each exercise based on your fitness level and maintaining a three-minute sequence for the time frame.See how easy it is to fit in 11 minutes of daily exercise? You can do it. 35．Although no one can give you a do-over of 2020, you can make up for lost time by adding a littl e more to your life span.A．In fact, you owe it to yourself after getting through this past year.B．And studies have reveal ed the great health risks of prol onged sitting.C．The simpl est way is with a walk outside or on the treadmill at your local gym.D．A l ower barrier makes it easier to get even the most inactive among us moving.E.You might wond er about the hour-per-day measurement you've been hearing about for years.F.What's more, both time frames were positively impactful, regardl ess of the amount of sitting.G.Avoid d oing only upper-body movements unless you do l ower-body movements the next day.Go on the Safest TripWhil e travelling, there are many safety measures that all travellers should take, even if they’re heading out a nearby mountain for a camping trip, renting a seaside Airbnb, or choosing any other d estination. Advice is highly needed on everything from what to pack to how to protect yourself. 36．Don’t take the unfamiliar road. Whil e part of the joy of exploring nature is seeing new and beautiful views, if your road trip includes a hike, stay on the marked path. Never give in to your curiosity to hike off-trail and in unfamiliar or unmarked areas. “ 37．” Warned by Dr. Velimir Petkov.Pack cl othing. In the morning, when you set out on your adventure, your temperature will likely be comfortable. As the sun reaches its highest point, you’ll start to sweat inside your car. 38．That’s why experts reco mmend packing everything you need to stay comfortable, including clothing for different temperatures.Make sure you get enough sleep. While many people have difficulty sleeping, plenty rest is necessary before a long car ride. “Do not drive while you are f eeling sleepy. 39．” Petkov recommended. He also noted that even if you get the benefits of seven to eight hours of sl eep, a little coffee can never hurt.Protect your skin. You may not consid er the sun whil e sitting in the car. The sunlight can go right through wind ow glass and cause you to burn. 40．Bahar Schmidt, found er of Eluxit Travel Agency, recommends making more efforts to protect your skin with sunscreen anddrugs against insects.A．You could get l ost, injured or both.B．It is a wise choice to wear strong shoes.C．You woul d never enjoy the views without the tips.D．If you feel like a rest, pull over and take a short break.E.And at night, certain areas experience a sharp drop in degrees.F.And mosquitoes are also drawn when you’re outd oors at night.G.We spoke with travel experts for safety guide to getting on the road.When you go to a new school, you might worry that you d on't know anyone or that you won't fit in. 41．Learn how to introduce yourself. Starting a conversation with someone new can be difficult, especially if you feel shy. Once you break the ice, however, you may find yourself in the middle of a bunch of friends. Choose someone to introduce yourself to. 42．And then talk about something related to school, such as, “When is the homework due?”43．Go to a park in the school neighborhood before school starts and maybe you can meet someone from your new school. If you make a new friend or two in advance, you won't feel so alone when you go to the first day of school.Participate in activities. Sign up for activities like sports or chess club. This will put you into smaller groups with peopl e who have similar interests as yours. 44．You might even be able to teach some other kids about how to do something.Set goals for yourself. By setting goals for yourself every day or every week, you can see how you are adjusting lo your new school in very real ways. For example, you can say, “45．.” Or you will plan to attend one club meeting this week.A．Smile and say hell o to him.B．Learn the rul es of the school.C．Try to meet new peopl e before school starts.D．I'll try saying hello to 3 new peopl e every day.E.Preparing for the first day can make life a lot easier.F.This will also give a chance to show your skills.G.In fact, school life will get easier when you know how to make new friends.With final exams drawing near, many students are understandably anxious and stressed out. Some even feel unprepared and approach these days with a sense of dread. This feeling is often made worse by all those wishing you luck and insisting that you enter the arena fill ed with confidence and positive thinking. 46．In fact, it’s a sign of intelligence.You may notice that stud ents with the l owest expectations often got the best results and vice versa. This makes total sense. Because you will focus on the subject when you have l ow expectation. 47．Conversely, if yo u d on’t know a lot about a subject, you might think it’s easier than it is, only to be struck dumb in panic when the questions actually are hard.Nancy Cantor is a researcher that rejects this culture of unbridled optimism. She believes defensive pessimism is a good strategy, for people with low expectations prepare themselves for possible failure and are therefore motivated to work hard to avoid that failure.48．In 1991, the great footballing nation of Austria was humiliated in the European Cup by amateurs from the Faroe Islands—a group of fishermen who had never played football before. Before kickoff, the Austrian manager was on TV predicting that they woul d win the game 15:0. But they l ost. 49．This actually fired them up, giving them the courage to charge at their professional opponents, who were l eft dumb.Great football managers never underestimate the opposition and neither shoul d you. If you’re feeling anxious going into the exams, that’s a good sign, not a bad one. 50．A．The history of sport bears this out.B．Pessimism is often seen as a negative trait in sports.C．The fishermen had zero expectation of winning, and they had nothing to l ose. D．Actually, it’s OK to feel pessimistic going into a big exam or other difficult situations.E.The more you know about a subject, the l ess likely you are to over-estimate your ability.F.So, just believe the confid ence for success comes from accepting the possibility of failure.G.Pessimism can drive someone to make full use of their stress to help them become optimistic.Who shoul d you be friends with?For International students, if you are going to the USA for the next four years, acad emics (学术水平) should not be the only thing you think about. To quote(引述) Hamlet: “To be, or not to be (surrounded by people from your home country): that is the question.To BEInstant friendshipThere is nothing like the instant connection with friends from your country while abroad.You d on’t have to explain cultural references, and that makes everything easier. 51．Why woul d you come to a compl etely different country if you are going to just hang out with the exact same people?Sense of communityIn some universities, if you have friends from your country, you can organise events to celebrate some of your country’s festivities. 52．NOT TO BEYou’re learning EnglishOne of the main reasons to study abroad is to l earn a language through complete immersion(沉浸). 53．Learning from different culturesLearning from different cultures will give you a new way of seeing the world. 54．No matter where they come from, students have similar questions and d oubts, so you won’t be alone.55．Who should you be friends with? What will make you grow, and what will make you the happiest? You decide.A．Surrounding yourself with the people from home can limit that experience.B．But be careful not to make them your only friends.C．You should be surround ed by people from your home country.D．In the end, it really is up to you.E.With more people from your country, it becomes a support network as a community.F.You miss the food, the music or your family.G.You will be surprised to find how similar different cultures can be.Personal Development is not just a simpl e personality improvement plan, but also a process to improve your life.

This makes a very useful ingredient towards buil ding the positive attitude in life.Communicate effectively: Our personality is basically identified on the basis of the type of communication we are able to perform. A person is shy if he/ she lacks an easy open communication. 58．. Thus, a personal development plan helps improve on the communication grounds as well.59．: When one is confident about oneself, the confid ence is well reflected in whatever we d o. A finely created Personal Development Program is a booster dose to this self-confidence, thereby adding a greater value to inner strength.Bring out your hidd en talents: Personal Growth and Development programs are d esigned in such forms to bring out the hid den yet beneficial personality characteristics within every person.

And we know that no two faces are exactly alike. Even identical twins have slightly different faces. Each human face is trulyunique. Usually we judge a person from his personal facial features. 61．Governments, empl oyers and security and police services are increasingly using facial recognition technol ogy. 62．Systems are becoming so advanced that a wanted criminal can instantly be picked out of a cr owd of thousands of people. All that’s required is an image in a database to compare with the image of any number of people in a crowd. Ordinary people, too, are using facial recognition to unlock their phones, their computers and other devices.63．It is convenient, easy to operate and it also relieves us of the need to memorize passwords. However, a device will require a password in the rare event that it doesn’t, for whatever reason, recognize the user’s face.There are numerous concerns about the use of facial recognition. 64．The installation of more and more cameras in public and private places is now part of everyday life. This means people can be observed and recognized wherever they go. Cameras may make public spaces safer, but keeping law-abiding(守法的) citizens under constant watch is disturbing too many.In the age of the coronavirus and the wid espread wearing of masks, facial recognition systems are having some difficulty. A mask covers many of the facial data points used by recognition software to confirm a person’s id entity. 65．That could affect how d ependable it is.A．The major concern is that it threatens privacy.B．The cameras may need to be replaced frequently.C．This all ows them to quickly confirm an individual’s identity.D．Personal facial recognition protection has strengths and weaknesses.E.In response, facial recognition systems are being trained to use less facial data.F.And now we’ve invented machines used to recognize faces for different purposes.G.In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion.Your education is very important. 66．By working on making a good impression each day, you can enjoy a positive relationship with your teacher.Greet your teacher with a smile. Your teacher likely arrives to work very early each day, perhaps ever before the sun has risen. 67．Greeting your teacher with a smile and warmregards every morning is a great way to promote your relationship and to improve their day.68．Another way to establish a good relationship with your teacher is by being punctual (准时的) to class all the time, always arriving before the bell rings. This will all ow your teacher to see you as a reliable person who is respectful of their time.Never argue with your teacher. Though you may see some of your classmates being disrespectful (不尊敬的) to your teacher, try very hard not to become one of these people. Your teacher has been hired to guid e your education and to help you learn important knowledge that will be useful to you in life. Respect this and d o not argue with them. 69．Foll ow instructions. Your teacher likely has a set of rul es that you must obey in class in addition to the regular school rules. 70．If your teacher feels that you keep yourself out of trouble, they will view you more positively and your relationship will strengthen.A．Come to class on time.B．Apologize for past mistakes.C．Be sure to make a note of these rules and to keep them.D．Every day, they have to work with lots of different students.E.So it is important to buil d a good relationship with your teacher.F.However, d o ask questions if you are confused about something.G.Anything you need to say to a friend can be said after class or during a break.Here are some methods that can effectively help you learn.Don't expect to learn much by just watching, listening or reading. Instead, try to build your own story. For exampl e, you can be driven to a store 20 times and still not know the road. 71．.Go over a piece of information repeatedly. Most of the information we absorb in a typical day is not only forgettable. 72．. Do you really want to remember forever what all the strangers you passed today on the sid ewalk were wearing? So how does your brain know whether something should be put into your l ong-term memory or not? Repeat it over a period of time!73．. If you try to go over it too late, the original memory will be nowhere to be found. Butif you wait only a few minutes to review it, it's too quick for you to signal your brain to put it into long-term memory.74．. Flashcards, whether they're physical or virtual, are a great way to do memory practice because they help space out attempts to remember, and you can come back to them easily periodically(周期性地).But you have to foll ow certain rules in order to make better use of the flashcards. The No.1 rule is that you need to guess the answer before l ooking at the card. Even if you think it is hopeless for you to remember, try.75．.Wait l ong enough between practice sessions. You have to make it a struggle to remember.A．Actually, it should be quickly forgottenB．The second rule is that you need to make it hardC．Used in the right way, flashcards can be of great helpD．Therefore, repetition is very important for l ong-term memoryE.But once or twice you try to drive there and you'll know the road by heartF.Burning an idea into memory by going over it again and again in a single sessionG.The key for repetition is that you can neither wait too long nor try to review it too fastUseful Memory StrategiesForm associations between new and remembered information. If you can link new ideas with previously established ones, then you can increase the chance that new memories will be formed. Try coming up with a familiar picture, song, joke, or rhyme that you can associate with the new material. 76．Repeat new facts as soon as you come across them. It may be boring, but simply repeating new information over and over in different ways will help it stick in your brain better, especially if you space out the repetition over time.77．Then speak the d efinition out loud a coupl e times, and try writing it down once or twice.Teach someone else the information you’re trying to learn. 78．Find a classmate orco-worker who needs to l earn the same information, form a study group, and take turns teaching each other different concepts. Alternately, ask your friends if they’re willing to learn。

Ideas about social class –whether a person is “working - class”or “middle - class”–are one area in which changes have been extremely slow.In the past, the working-class tended to be paid less than middle-class people. The typical working man would collect his wages on Friday evening and then, it was widely believed, having given his wife her "housekeeping", would go out and squander the rest on beer and betting. The old style of what a middle-class man did with his money was perhaps nearer the truth. He was-and still is - inclined to take a longer-term view. Not only did he regard buying a house as a most important thing, but he also considered the education of his children as extremely important. 【小题2】. Only in very few cases did workers have the opportunity （or the education and training）to make such long-term plans.【小题3】 . In a large number of cases factory workers earn as much as their middle –class supervisors (管理者). Social security and laws to improve century, have made it less necessary than before to worry about "tomorrow". Working-class people seem slowly to be losing the feeling of inferiority(自卑感). In fact there has been a growing tendency in the past few years for the middle-classes to feel slightly ashamed of their position. 【小题4】 .They generally tend to share very similar tastes in music andclothes, they spend their money in having a good time, and save for holidays or longer-term plans when necessary. There seems to be much less difference than in precious generations. 【小题5】 . As long as this gap exists, there will always be a possibility that new conflicts and jealousies will emerge, or rather that the old conflicts will re-appear, but between different groups.A．Nowadays, a great deal has changedB．Both of these provided him and his family with securityC．As a result, differences in life –styles and attitudes came into existenceD．However, we still have a wide gap between the well –paid and the low - paidE．In recent years, the working –class people have begun to design long –term plansF．In some ways, however, very little has changed, particularly where attitudes are concernedG．The changes in both life –styles and attitudes are probably most easily seen among younger people答案: FBAGD<4>You can take a selfie with a hand - held digital camera or mobile phone and later share it on the Internet.

Everyone has his own way to take the holiday selfies. How can you take the best holiday selfies? 【小题2】◆‘Food chew’styleWant to let everyone know how exciting your holiday food choices are? 【小题3】 You can also cut off a piece to show off what’s inside. But don’t have food hanging out of your mouth. Remember, food always looks best before being eaten.◆‘I’m so adventurous’styleRock climbing, hiking, surfing, or skiing? 【小题4】 Just let the natural settings make people go “wow”. One commonly used gesture is spreading out an arm to show how thrilled you are. But remember that no one likes a sweaty selfie.◆‘I am cultured tourist’style【小题5】 You can also try an optical illusion（视错觉）by making it look like you’re holding up the leaning tower of Pisa, touching the top of the Eiffel Tower, or picking the Sphinx’s nose.A．Just taking a selfie against a famous cultural site makes you look great.

It questions whether activities like do-it-yourself, gardening and housework are good exercise. 【小题3】 but there is a danger that people incorrectly think housework is proper exercise.A total of 4,563 adults took a survey about their weekly physical activity. 【小题4】Researcher Professor Murphy said any physical activity should increase the amount of calories burnt. 【小题5】 She said housework was “inversely related to leanness”. She said this suggested that either people overestimate how hard housework was an exercise, or they eat too much because they think they have lost lots of calories doing household chores.A．However, her study found the opposite.B．People who do housework usually eat more.C．A new study says housework is not the quality exercise many people think it is.D．The research showed that people who included housework as exercise tended to be heavier.E.

First, pick up a bucket of rice from your home and give it to the neighboring people who are in need. 【小题5】 At last, invite online all your friends and ask them to take up the challenge. It is important to post back on Facebook because it will inspire all your friends to come forward. All the people get together and make a difference! A．Besides, hand the rice bucket over to other people who are in need. B．It is not an activity involving dumping a bucket of rice on someone’s head.C．The activity raises the public awareness and charitable donations to agriculture.D．The AirAsia India airline says its staff including senior management will join.E.

Your career is the sum of your life and work. It includes all your activities and experiences. Your schooling, your volunteer work, and even your relationships with your family are all big parts of your career.________During your career, you will have a variety of jobs, occupations and roles. People used to think of a job as full-time, permanent, paid work done for an employer at a work site. But in our changing world, a job is a set of duties or tasks. It can be paid or unpaid________ Even someone who is self-employed has a job.An occupation is a group of jobs with similar responsibilities that require a common set of skills.________ Programmers may have permanent or temporary jobs working for specific employers, be self-employed, work full-time or part-time, be paid for their work or volunteer their services.

You are taking time out of your busy day to reach out. Everyone needs someone to just listen sometimes. They may be filled with joy or sadness________⒉Write a note________ It is one thing to say it, but it can be even more meaningful to put it in writing. What if you made a commitment to write a thank-you note to someone every week?⒊ ________You never know what someone might be going through a painful divorce, a tough college semester, or just a bad day. Opening up your home will make someone feel appreciated. In addition, it costs less than going out. The leftovers from this dinner can be packaged up for homeless people. That's double giving!⒋Set aside money from a daily routine to donateGiving doesn't have to mean a life full of sacrifices.

Don't expect to have it all.________ You can't order every delicious dish on the menu. And there will be paths not taken, careers not chosen, to name a few. You can imagine some “what if' situations if you must, but do not let them take up too much space in your brain.________It's often good to think through your decisions. But don't overdo it. Research can reach a point where returns begin to reduce, which makes it confusing more than clarifying. Many good decisions can be made based as much on intuition (直觉) as on careful assessment of endless data.Don't delay making decisions.Yes, there is a time to put off making a decision. Perhaps you need more information________ Or it's likely that you wait for a less stressful time. Just don't wait so long that the decision is made by your own indecisiveness.Don't be hard on yourself.You decide to go on a voyage. You choose an expensive liner. Everything should work out just right. Only you didn't expect a bug that ran around on the ship, making you and your family sick for five days________But please remember it is unavoidable sometimes.A. Don't spend too much time thinking.B. It is an important source of information.C. Don't count on emotion to make decisions.D. Maybe you wish to consult with your advisor.E. You may regret making such a stupid decision.F. That means the skill of good decision-making counts a lot.G. Decisions force us to close the door on other possibilities.6.Should schoolchildren have jobs?Now at school, the last thing you probably want to do is spend your weekends going to work. There is homework to do and sport to play________ When I was a teenager I had a Saturday job in a supermarket: stacking(摆放)shelves and working at the checkout.Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part-timejobs________Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing your money. So, that's no bad thing!Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could be harmful to a person later on. But despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.________Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College leaders, told BBC News “Properly regulated part-time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives”. In reality, it's all about getting the rig ht balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.________One 13 year old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job becauseI'm earning money and it helps increase my confide nce in speaking to people and socializing with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up on a Saturday morning________A. Do you do a part-time job when you are at school?B. So you are not free to do what you are feeling like doing.C. It is a waste of time and does no good to your career prospect.D. It's a waste of independence and a useful thing to put on your CV (简历).E. Does this mean that British teenagers? Are now more afraid of hard work?F. But your parents probably persuade you to find a job and get some life experience.G. Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom.7Nobody likes to think they are “that guy” at work.________. So, what are some of the rudest things that people do at work —and why shouldn't you do them?Behaving in an unacceptable wayThe most common form of this is eating smelly foods at lunchtime. Other things alike include body smell and its opposite, the wearing of strong perfume, messy desks, or bad breath.________.Checking email on your phone when you're talking to other peopleA recent survey shows that 49 percent of people said their bosses checked their phones while talking with them.________. If you've ever wondered why your team members are unmotivated, this may be why. In fact, when you're talking to someone at work, you should reject any non-important calls.________Do you like the sound of your own voice? Great. Perhaps it's time you learned to like the sound of other people's voices too. If you interrupt others when they speak, they'll dislike you and discount whatever you're saying. And if you routinely take up three quarters of the meeting with your monologues（独⾓戏）, people will turn off and, quite rightly, start checking email on their phones. However, if you listen to what others say and show interest by asking intelligent questions, they'll love you and be likely to give you their support when you speak.Showing off how much you earn________. If you show off your income to someone and then discover you get less than them, you'll look like a fool. If you earn more, they'll feel tired of you. So keep them guessing and hide your earning power in quiet ways — like always paying for the team coffees.A. Talking all the timeB. Being a good listenerC. Team-working can never be ignoredD. All these things will become part of your personal brandE. It's better to be modest when you talk about your incomesF. Bad behavior at work is common — and often we do it without thinkingG. An interesting email is more valuable than the person you are actually talking to8A peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.________ Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone's reading it. However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way________ Maybe a kid in the neighborhood wanted you to steal with him.Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don't go along with the group.________ The ide a that “everyone's doing it” may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind.Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/his mind from what she/he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer-just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer!________________ Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing something when you know better.A. Peers can have a good effect on one another.B. Peer pressure is the direct influence on people by peers.C. Good peers may give you a hand when you are in trouble.D. That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.E. Maybe one kid in school tried to get another to cut class with him.F. It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done.G. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing.9.Making Peace with Your ParentsAs a teen, you're going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are increasing.________Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are all out in that world.These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can't be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For example, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or hungry. A good time to talk is when you're all relaxed. Timing is everything if the conversation begins to turn into an argument, you'd better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation for now.________ Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you're listening. ________ Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others' feelings can disagree without getting things ugly.________ How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you're going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than rule-maker—they're interesting people who like to watch movies and go shopping—just like their teenagers!What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents continues to be rocky?________You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who can lend an ear.
