The vocal cords can be scarred if you use your voice during a bad cough.If you have a case of laryngitis(喉炎)with a cold, you should rest your voice for a day or two, and seek medical advice.

There are various aspects that go into making a successful school, and success can be measured in various ways.Often, the teachers are praised for a school’s success and blamed for its failure.Yet, in order for a school to be effective, it must be a place where teaching and learning can easily take place, and that requires the hard work of more than just educators.Students must take learning into their own hands and feel as if what they are doing is as important as it actually is.This can only be done with the cooperation of every adult that is involved in the students’ life.Some of these individuals often go unnoticed, yet the role they play in the students’ lives is immeasurable.

In the school, administrative assistants greet students at the start of the day and answer a large quantity of questions.When an assistant remembers a student’s name or even something special about that student, it communicates to him that he is cared for.The assistant can also give that extra encouragement for a student to make better choices, especially when they are visiting the principal’s office.

Meanwhile, though cafeteria workers have a short space of time to interact with students, they can make a big difference as well.Beyond meeting nutritional needs, cafeteria workers may also on occasion meet the emotional needs of the students they serve.Students benefit from positive interaction with adults, and cafeteria workers may give that extra bit of encouragement that a child needs.

Custodians(管理员)are usually underappreciated for what they offer to schools.They have to be knowledgeable about everything from cleaning to fixing the most intricate(复杂的tools.They get to school early in the morning before teachers arrive and lock up late at night after the last student has left from the after-school event.They also make sure teachers are equipped with the necessary items and prepare the rooms so that they are ready for learning.A great custodian also gives that kind word or extra smile to that student who needs it most.

If you’re looking for a cheery destination for your next vacation, consider these four spots and get ready to take notes on how to really live the good life.

Singapore

With one of the highest population densities(密度)in the world and residents known for being workaholics, it’s hard to imagine the city-state of Singapore having one of the happiest populations on earth.And yet in a recent survey, 95% of them said they were either very happy or quite happy.

They give their city high marks for cleanliness and safety—subways are pristine(洁净的and unfailingly arrive on time, and police are seen as helpful and good at their jobs.What’s more, they feel they can count on their neighbours—all 5.1 million of them.

Arhus, Denmark

The residents of Arhus cheerfully part with 68% of their income in taxes, knowing that in return they will be guaranteed free healthcare, free daycare, and a top-notch(第一流的)education for their children.

An energetic city of 300,000 with a lively cultural scene and a diverse number of religions represented, the sense of equality(the range in incomes is narrow), as well as easy access to the nearby sea and surrounding countryside, make Arhus seem more like a small town.

San Luis Obispo, CA

According to a 2008 Gallup-Healthways study, people who live in San Luis Obispo are more likely than residents of other U.S.cities to smile and experience joy and are less likely to experience pain or depression.About 64,000 of the 260,000 people in the greater metropolitan area(都市区), located halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco, volunteer at over 11,000 non-profit organizations.

Few journeys to work are longer than 10 minutes (one reason its members rank in the upper third for job satisfaction), so “it’s easy to be involved,” resident Pierre Rademaker said.Business signs are unobtrusive(不显眼的)by law, fewer than 11% of residents smoke—the lower rate in the U.S.—there are lots of bike lanes, and the city’s plaza draws crowds of people for free concerts on summer Fridays.What’s not to love?

Monterrey, Mexico

The people of Monterrey don’t enjoy high household incomes or access to good healthcare.Instead, there’s a profound sense of gratitude for the new political freedom enjoyed since the oppressive Institutional Revolutionary Party lost power in 2000—the first time in nearly a century—as well as an emphasis on social life over work.

Another reason Monterrey residents may be so happy is their faith in God and family, and their ability to tough it out through bad times.

“We laugh at sickness, poverty and even death,” says Basanez, a political scientist who lives in Monterrey.“We even have a holiday to celebrate death.November 2, the Day of the Dead, is one of the biggest holidays of the year.”

1.According to the passage, what do the residents in the four cities have in common?

A.All the residents can make great fortunes by working hard.

B.The residents there are mostly educators.

C.All the residents enjoy enough material wealth.

D.The majority of the residents are satisfied with their current life.

2.According to the passage, we can infer that _______.

A.the people of Singapore expect their neighbours to come to their help when necessary

B.the people of Monterrey even observe one’s death on a special day of a year

C.the residents of Arhus happily pay 68% of their income for their children’s education fee

D.the people who live in San Luis Obispo have job satisfaction because they can enjoy good working conditions

3.According to the passage which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A.The people of Monterrey didn’t enjoy political freedom until 2000.

B.The residents in Singapore feel happy because of its low population density.

C.The people of San Luis Obispo can enjoy free concerts in summer.

D.Arhus is handy to the seaside and countryside.

4.What can we learn from the underlined part “the sense of equality”?

A.The residents of Arhus have no racial discrimination.

B.Arhus is considered as a family sharing everything with each other.

C.There is no wide gap between the rich and the poor in Arhus.

D.The residents of Arhus can depend on their neighbours to help.
