More than 3 years ago I travelled to Britain and stay there for 10 days, and it’s still one of the most wonderful trip I have ever taken. The moment when I arrived in London, I went to the Sherlock Holmes Museum. The museum is modeled in the fictional house in that Sherlock Holmes and John Watson lived. And it also contains reproductions of any famous crime scenes from the stories. I walked around each room carefully as if we had been at a real crime scene and afraid of destroying valuable clues. As crazy fan of Sherlock, I felt extreme interested. Now I’m looking forward to take my next trip there.

It’s only been one month since Dean LaBarba 1. (graduate) from medical school–but he wasn’t expecting to have started his life-saving career so soon.

With the help of another passenger, he had the woman lie across a row of 6. (seat) so he could begin pushing her chest. After six pushes, 7. started to wake up.
LaBarba, his wife, and the passenger 8. (move) to first class, where the newly-graduated doctor monitored her health.
The passenger expressed her extreme gratitude toward LaBarba, 9. happened to be the only doctor on board 10. 300-person flight that day. He said that the experience confirmed his “calling and desire to help people”.
When I became a junior, I decided to take Latin at school. I was so __ about taking that class, and I was fully expecting to be able to __ every word I’d ever come across once I learned Latin.
But Latin class was so __. Each day, the teacher Mr. Keady would ask us to open our __ and recite aloud the various Latin forms of words. This became the __ every day. That was until my hand __ one afternoon when we were asked yet again to open our books.
When Mr. Keady asked what was wrong, I __why I thought that his class was dull, how I had expected more, and that his method of teaching was __. When I finished speaking, I __ Mr. Keady to angrily send me to the head teacher.
But instead, he sat at his desk quietly, looking defeated and tired. After several moments of __, Mr. Keady spoke. He quietly and firmly said that he would __ carefully about what I’d said. And that was it.
In the following weeks, Latin class didn’t become the exciting learning environment I __ it would, but Mr. Keady did try harder. He brought in some new worksheets and __ to involve us students more in his classes.
Maybe some people would __what I did, but even so many years later, I feel bad about it.

What do babies, puppies and cartoon characters have in common? 1.
Cute animals and babies attract our attention and make us want to take care of them, which gives them an evolutionary advantage, according to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz.
2.When we look at babies, we are attracted to certain facial features. These features make us want to take care of them so they can grow up healthily and pass their genes on to the next generation.
Looking at baby animals and cartoon characters also causes these feelings.
Childlike characteristics make babies sweet and lead us to build close ties with them. 3.
There are several features that can cause this feeling. 4.If a baby animal or human wobbles (摇摇摆摆) a bit when walking, that can make them seem even cuter.
Of course, we don’t raise baby animals the same way we raise human babies, and we don’t raise cartoon characters at all. 5.Cute cartoon characters become popular this way, and baby animals are more likely to be cared for properly.
Think about some of the things that you find cute, and you’re likely to see that they have some of the same characteristics as a human baby.
A. The science behind cuteness is still unclear.
B. The answer is that they all look cute.
C. This even works when we see things that remind us of a baby.
D. A large round head, large eyes, and soft skin are just some of these features.
E. However, babies get less cute as they get older.
F. Human babies are a good example.
G. But their cuteness does make us like them and want to take care of them.
Every year, millions of people make the same New Year’s resolution(决心): to lose weight. But there’s a problem that requires as much resolution to change as weight: the societal prejudice surrounding weight and obesity.
For decades, researchers have documented negative attitudes toward overweight people - a form of prejudice known as “weight bias (偏见).” People with obesity are commonly viewed as lazy, unintelligent, unattractive, and lacking willpower and self-control. Weight – based discrimination is found in educational, employment and health care settings, yet minimal legal protection exists for those who are targeted. In addition to experiencing weight bias from others, people with obesity tend to accept weight-biased beliefs, leading to lower self-worth.
Some people argue that bitter messages about weight are necessary to motivate those with obesity to take responsibility for their health and lose weight. After all, critics say, it’s their own fault that they are “fat,” and, if they really wanted to, they could control their weight. In this view, promoting body acceptance would only weaken behavior change and encourage obesity.
The problem with this argument is that it flies in the face of hundreds of scientific studies showing the negative health effects associated with experiencing and accepting weight-biased beliefs. The psychological effect of being undervalued due to one’s weight may not seem surprising: increased risk for depression, anxiety, and even self-harming thoughts and attempts in youth.
Also worth noting are the effects of weight bias on weight gain and obesity-related health. Studies show that weight bias is stressful, and when people are under stress, they tend to eat more. Further, when people worry about being judged due to their weight, they avoid fitness and health care setting.
In the coming year, whether or not weight loss is a goal, we can all make efforts to get rid of weight bias and be a little kinder to ourselves and others.
