A Better Way to Start Your Day
Whether you love mornings or not, they’re a fact of life. If you hate then, here are some ways to make them less awful. If you’re a morning person, these tips can make mornings even better!
1. Be sure to get an adequate （足够的） amount of sleep. Most people need seven or eight hours of sleep to feel their best during the day. If you must get up at 5 or 6 a.m., go to bed early to get your eight hours. Turn off the TV, computer or smart phone and hit the hay. When you get enough sleep, you won’t feel sleepy. You can get out of bed on time. That will make your day better, too.
Turn on some music in the morning. Play any tunes you like. It doesn’t matter. 2. You’ll feel much happier as you start the day.
3. As your mother said, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Your body is out of fuel （燃料） by morning. You need some to help you control your blood-sugar. That affects your mood（情绪） and energy for the day.
Don’t watch TV or read a newspaper first thing in the morning. Your brain is fresh and ready to work on new things. Don’t fill it up with negative （消极的） information about the world and its problems. Instead, read something inspiring（鼓舞人的） or uplifting.4.
Avoid answering QQ or WeChat first thing. Use that precious （宝贵的） morning time to get some exercise, eat breakfast and enjoy life. Check QQ or WeChat last before you leave your house. Then you’ll only have time to check the most important messages.5.
Every day is a new day-enjoy it!
A.A good breakfast can make your day.
B.Your day will start better if you take time for the important things.
C.A good morning starts the night before.
D.Just turn on something that makes you feel good.
E.This will give you positive thoughts to start your day.
Someone's always watching you online...
How do they get my information? Did you know that when you surf the Web, many websites put secret software on your computer? The software collects a large amount of information about you and sends it to Internet companies. The Internet companies sell it to other businesses. Your personal information can also be collected from social media（媒体）sites. There are many ways your information can be used.
What information do they collect and why? First, companies collect your information. The companies find out where you live, what websites you visit, and what you do online. With this information, they can guess other things about you. For example, they can guess if you are male or female, how old you are, and your interests. The companies use this information to decide which advertisements（广告）are best for you. Two people can go to the same website, but they will see different advertisements. For example, someone who likes sports could see an advertisement for sneakers, and someone who like films might see an advertisement for movie.
What do they do with my information? Your personal information could also be sold. Some companies collect information just so they can sell it to other businesses. A business that collects and sells personal information is called a data broker. When data brokers sell your information, a lot of different companies will know your online habits. Then these companies will advertise products or other websites to you.
What online habits are tracked（追踪）? Another way your personal information can be collected is through social media. When your information is on social media, a lot of people can see it. Even if you don't use social media, a friend might post a picture or video of you with your name on it. Pictures and videos can be shared for free on social media, which is one of the great benefits（福利）. However, that same act of sharing could be problem for your own security（安全）. If someone knows too much about you, they can steal your identity（身份）. Then they can buy things online and post messages while pretending（假装）to be you.
Conclusion. All of your online habits can be recorded. Studying people's online habits is big business. Your personal information is very valuable to companies. That is how they know who to send their advertisements to. The Internet reaches almost every corner of the world, but the danger is that your personal information might travel that far, too.
正确的，涂A：错误的，涂B。
1.All businesses collect a large amount of information about you online.
2.People who go to the same website may see different advertisements.
3.Data brokers collect your personal information for money.
4.If you don’t get online, your information will be safe.
5.Your personal information can go anywhere with the Internet.
I remember…
Mary Chan asked her grandfather what he could remember about his secondary school. This is part of what he told her...
I’ll never forget Mr. Tan. We called him Tiger Tan. He was our math teacher when I was in Sec 1. He was a wiry（筋骨强壮的）,muscular man and he was very strict. I never saw him smile while I was at school.
Mr. Tan was an excellent math teacher. He explained everything slowly and clearly on the blackboard. When he looked at the class, you had to be looking at his hawk-like eyes. He stared at us like a tiger facing a group of rabbits. If you weren't looking directly at him, he summoned（命令）you to the front of the class. Then he took "Joey" from his cupboard. "Joey" was a length of garden hose about half a metre long. After few painful wallops（猛）from "Joey" you paid attention all the time!
Sometimes Mr. Tan felt that the class was getting sleepy. Then he suddenly said, "Outside everybody! Round the school! RUN!" He stood at the door of the classroom, waiting for us to return. He had a slipper（拖鞋）and hit the last one or two pupils. I was usually the first back.
We were all scared of Tiger Tan. We didn't like him but we respected（敬重）him. He was a good teacher and was always fair.
We had a very different math teacher in Sec 3. He was Mr. Hu. He was cheerful and friendly. When he entered the room, somebody would ask him how a camera worked. Then he spent the rest of the lesson explaining how something worked. He drew diagrams on the board and sometimes one of us asked another question to keep him talking. Most of the class sat and day-dreamed about food or sport. We weren't really interested in cameras. We just wanted to avoid doing any work.
We liked Mr. Hu but we didn't respect him. We knew that we didn't learn much in his lessons.
