My dream was to become a school teacher in the future. In fact, I have had the dream since my childhood. In my opinion, with teachers, no society could make progresses. There is no doubt whether teachers play an important role in children’ s growth. Not only teachers pass on knowledge to children, but we also teach children how to behave themselves. Comparing with other jobs, teaching is hard and the pay is lower. And to me, what a great fun it is to be with children! They make me feel young forever so I' 11 study hard and try my best to realize my dream.

Most people have practiced some form of hobby at a point in their lives, whether it is some form of sports, playing a musical instrument, creating art, cooking or something else. There are many different reasons and skills for taking up a hobby.
Realize you have more time than you think.
This is probably the one thing that keeps most people back from practicing a hobby. 1. But we waste so much time on social media, television commercials and worrying about life which we could have used to practice a hobby. Schedule some time for a hobby into your day. Plan ahead and just do it. Involve other people.
Why? Well, have you ever noticed that you stick to something longer when you feel that you cannot let another person down? So, get-someone to jog with you, or make music with you, or share recipes with you. Plus, you will inspire them to keep on practicing their hobby. 2.Put your money where your mouth is.
3.So give out a bit of your budget to your hobby of choice so that you cannot blame a lack of “materials” for not doing anything.
4.
For me, this has been the most important step in going out and doing a hobby. If you jog, decide which races you want to do this year. If you practice music, organize a concert.
Find the pleasure in what you do.
As with most things, starting of getting something ready to start can be difficult. But don’ t give up. 5.
A. It is a total win-win.
B. Work towards something.
C. Think of a hobby that might interest you.
D. Others' help will definitely do you good.
E. You think that you don ’ t have enough time to even start.
F. The fact is that people spend money where their heart is.
G. Once you have started you'11 find the beauty and relaxation in it.
We Brits love the idea of a real Christmas tree—but not so many of us like the realities of dragging a 7ft Norway Spruce through the house and leaving needles all over the place.
If you count yourself among the reluctant group，then it may be time to go fake (假白勺）.After all, buying an artificial Christmas tree needn, t mean accepting defeat. ThereJ s a huge range of options and sizes, including pre-lit trees, which will save you the frustration of trying to string your own lights.
Another big bonus of choosing an artificial Christmas tree is cost ： artificial trees can last for decades, so they work out cheaper than paying for a real tree every year. Like now retailers (零售商）are offering great deals at the moment： at Tesco, there J s 25 percent off artificial Christmas trees. Meanwhile, you can take advantage of the current 3 for 2 offer at Argos to fill your house with not one, not two, but three. You may perhaps partner up with friends who are also looking to invest.
Of course, keep your tree for years and years and it will start to pay you back in terms of carbon footprint; however，a “real” one will always have to be transported，used and dealt with every year.
Are there any downsides? Yes. You might think you, re saving the planet, but a fake tree is actually not an environmentally friendly option. Most are made in factories in Asia, resulting in some serious air miles to reach the UK. They’ re made from metal and plastic，and many end their lives in landfill.
Another problem with a fake tree is that they don' t look very natural—and of course you won ’ t get that lovely pine smell either. You ’ 11 also need to find space for storage.
1.What does the underlined word “reluctant” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Passive. B. Related.
C. Unwilling. D. Supportive.
2.Which is the benefit of buying an artificial Christmas tree?
A. Abundant choices. B. The lovely pine smell.
C. Cheaper than a real one. D. Free for transportation.
3.What can we learn from the passage?
A. Fake Christmas trees are environmentally friendly.
B. British people like to drag a real Christmas tree home.
C. People need to find space to store a fake Christmas tree.
D. People may get 3 more if they buy two fake Christmas trees.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Different reasons for choosing fake Christmas trees.
B. Valuable suggestions on choosing fake Christmas trees.
C. Efficient ways of saving money on choosing Christmas trees.
D. Advantages and disadvantages of choosing fake Christmas trees.
Spending money on time-saving services reduces stress and boosts(增进）happiness，according to a new research, but shockingly, few of us do it.
Whillans, a professor at HBS said, “ Buying time helps to protect us from the stress in our lives caused by time pressure, and the feeling that we don’ t have enough minutes in the day to complete our tasks. ’’
The effect was clearest in the Canadian experiment, in which 60 working adults were given $40 to spend in two different ways. One weekend, they were told to spend the money on a material purchase—a gift for themselves. The next weekend, they were instructed to spend the $40 on anything that saved them time，from paying the neighbor ’ s kid to run errands (跑腿）to taking an Uber instead of a bus.
u〇n the day they made the time-saving purchase, they felt happier, in a better mood, and lower feelings of time stress than on the day they bought a material purchase，’’ said Whillans.
The biggest surprise to the researchers was how few people would spend money on time-saving services. When they asked 98 working adults how they would spend a “windfall” of $40，only two percent named a purchase that would save them time.
“ One reason，’’ said Whillans，u is that we * re very bad at remembering how much we hate doing certain tasks once the suffering has passed. That makes us less likely to take active steps to avoid that overburdened feeling in the future. ” But another possible cause is good old-fashioned guilt. “If you feel guilty about getting someone to clean your house for you, then you might get less happiness from outsourcing (夕卜包）that task，” said Whillans，u or you might just be less likely to spend your money in that way. ’’
