On August 21,I was working on my homework, a composition titling “My Hero/Heroine”. I stuck at the very beginning, trying to figure out what would be my hero/heroine.
Attracted by the cheers from the living room, I opened the door only to find my parents were watching the volleyball matches of women's final. Then I decided to take the break and joined in them. The sense of nervousness was overwhelming as the score was quite closely between China and its opponent.
To our delight, China won in the end. We couldn't help feel proud as Chinese! The volleyball players had trained so hard before and fight till the last minute. Without doubt, they were not only my heroines, and the heroines of China! I started to write my composition.

Decision-making can be extremely difficult. 1.
In any approach to a problem and in any negotiations, the Western world turns to the "I to you" approach while Japan, the "you to you" approach. The former means both sides present their arguments openly from their own point of view. Naturally, often comes a confrontation (冲突) situation, which Westerners are very skillful in dealing with.2.Thus, the direction of the meeting is a mutual (相互的)attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony.
Besides, Western decision-making goes mostly from top management and often does not consult middle management or the worker. 3.Based on "bottom-up direction" , ideas can be created at the lowest levels, travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision.
4. The Japanese business person works to achieve harmony, even if the deal falls through, and will spend whatever time is necessary to determine a "you to you** approach, communicating personal views only indirectly. They put a thorough job above the Western deadline approach. So the Japanese are thorough in their meetings. 5. Where the American is pressing for a specific decision, the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad direction.
On the other hand, once a given agreement is made, it is the Japanese who sometimes wonder at the slow pace at which Westerners carry out the decision. The Japanese are eager to move forward and Westerns, perhaps, lag behind as they take the time for in-depth planning.
A. In general, harmony is hard to achieve in most Western companies.
B. However, in Japan great consideration is given to the thoughts and opinions of everyone at all levels.
C. Thai's why Americans are often annoyed by the many meetings in Japanese businesses.
D. Difference in decision-making also comes from different communication styles.
E. The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other person's point of view.
F. Decision-making styles are significantly different in different cultures.
G. Brainstorming plays a significant role in both Western and Eastern decision-making.
With a rise in the number of allergies and worries over exposure to chemicals, more people are looking for alternative ways to clean their homes. To this end, some people are turning to the use of garbage enzyme (酶)--a concentrated liquid produced from fruit and vegetable waste. Garbage enzyme can be easily produced in the home, and has many uses, including as a cleansing agent, insect killer and even shampoo.
At the same time, it is hoped that the production and use of garbage enzyme will help reduce household waste and encourage people to take the initiative in sorting their trash.
The concept of using home-produced enzymes entered China several years ago when a special bucket imported from Japan was promoted by some health experts as a means of making healthy drinks. While the effectiveness of the enzyme drink remains unproven, garbage enzyme has been shown to be effective as an agent for cleaning toilets and floors, and as a fertilizer for plants.
Making wet garbage into an enzyme solution has been practiced in Southeast Asian countries for decades, greatly reducing household waste and protecting the environment by reducing the use of bleach (漂白剂) and other strong chemicals. Many people have realized that chemicals do harm to human body and the more garbage enzyme they make, the more good it does to the environment.
Any reduction in the volume of household garbage will benefit the city. Shanghai produces the largest amount of garbage than any other city in China. It is also home to the largest refuse landfill in Asia, the Laogang Refuse Landfill in Pudong New Area, which occupies a total area of about 30 square kilometers. It is struggling to accommodate all of the city's garbage, with a fifth phase under construction. The landfill and its surrounding areas are heavily polluted, something that nearby residents have been complaining about for years. The process of making enzyme solution consumes wet garbage. This means residents don't produce wet garbage after they start to make garbage enzyme. They even find the amount of wet garbage produced by their families is insufficient, so that they have to ask for garbage from their neighbors. Another advantage is that producing garbage enzyme encourages people to think more about garbage separation — something the local government has been trying to encourage but which still is not practiced by some residents.
1.Which of the following belongs to the usage of garbage enzyme?
A.Making plants more fragrant.
B.Creating materials to clean houses.
C.Producing effective healthy drinks.
D.Reducing the amount of dry garbage.
2.What is the writer's attitude toward garbage enzyme?
A.Disapproving. B.Ambiguous. C.Favorable. D.Skeptical.
3.How will garbage enzyme possibly affect people in the future?
A.It will force people to ask for more garbage from their neighbors.
B.It will prevent people from using chemicals to clean their houses.
C.It will shelter people from household garbage pollution for good and all.
D.It will make people take garbage separation seriously before dumping it.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The threat of constructing more landfills.
B.How to classify garbage wisely and practically.
C.How to make garbage enzyme at home successfully.
D.The practice of turning leftover into a household product.
The negative health effects of being economical on sleep during the week can't be reversed by marathon weekend sleep sessions, according to a new study.
Researchers have long known that routine sleep lack can cause weight gain and increase other health risks,including diabetes. But those who force themselves out of bed sleepy each weekday after too few hours of shut-eyed, hope that shutting off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt and compensate any ill effects.
The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep in and nap during a weekend recovery period, participants in a sleep laboratory who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced metabolic disruption (新陈代谢紊乱)that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of insufficient sleep, those gains were wiped out when people plunged back into their same sleep-deprived (剥夺) schedule the next Monday.
"If there are benefits of catch-up sleep, they're gone when you go back to your routine. It's very short-lived," said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology laboratory at the University of Colorado, who oversaw the work. "It's kind of like smoking once was — people would smoke and wouldn't see an immediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep is in the early stage of where smoking used to be. ”
Michael Grandner , director of the sleep and health research program said that the study reinforces the concept that people need to stop thinking of sleep as a balance sheet. Imagine a person who ate nothing but cheeseburgers and french-fries Monday through Friday, but dined only on celery and kale on the weekend and tried to call that a healthy diet. Hugely cutting calories all week and then eating a giant pizza on Saturday wouldn't restore balance either.
1.According to the passage what is the possible result of lack of sleep?
A.Weight loss in a long run.
B.Higher risks of diabetes.
C.Being too weak to marathon.
D.Dying a premature death.
2.What does Wright want to show about catch-up sleep by mentioning smoking?
A.The influence is long-term.
B.The benefits are subtle.
C.The consequence is overlooked.
D.The immediate effects are obvious.
3.Those who favor weekend recovery sleep are likely to believe that______.
A.junk food can be balanced by occasional healthy diets
B.cheeseburgers and french-fries are healthy diets
C.celery and kale are healthy if eaten on the weekend
D.Saturday pizzas are very helpful to gain weight
4.The passage is intended to______.
A.deny a previous concept B.introduce a new study
C.promote a healthy lifestyle D.compare two studies
