On the behalf of our group, I’d like to give a brief summary of our discussion on the topic “Are Recycling Textbooks a Good Suggestion?” As we know, when high school students graduated from school, their textbooks are throwing away, which are still in good condition. What a great waste it is!
A suggestion has been put forward we should recycle the textbooks. Some students in my group agree with this suggestion. For one thing, recycling textbooks can save a lot of natural resources, what are used to make textbooks. And it can also save plenty of family expenses. For another, in western countries, recycling textbook is very popular and it gives you a good example. But some have different opinions about it, for the content of the textbooks is often renewed. What’s more, it is not proper to make notes in the textbooks. In my opinion, this is a wonderfully idea because this will do good to both the government and the families.
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Eating enough fruits and vegetables is 1. most people associate with good health habits. But just as important to healthy living are frequent doses (剂量) of laughter and humor—both proven to have 2. direct effect on health.
According to Wendy Shepard, clinical nurse specialist at Hopkins Bayview, laughter has 3.(definitely) physiological effects on the body. Laughing is like inside jogging. It 4.(clean) the respiratory (呼吸的) system, stimulates the digestive tract, increases heart rate and blood circulation and lowers blood pressure.
5.(fortunate), many people don’t use humor enough when 6.(deal) with everyday life situations. Many wait for humor 7.(happen) to them instead of making it happen. “Humor is more than just laughing at a joke. It can become a way of life if you open yourself up to a new attitude,” says Shepard. “The greatest thing about play, creativity and laughter—all components (成分) of humor—is that you not only help 8.(you), you help others.”
Shepard suggests that everyone relax and lighten up. It can be as easy as focusing on fun things to pick up at a dollar store. Shepard often travels with a grab bag of things to help make people smile. Of course, making humor a part of your life 365 days a year doesn’t mean you have to carry a grab bag, put 9. a clown (小丑) nose or tell jokes 10. those things are fun in the right situation. Instead, look for ways to make the things you already do more fun, such as laughing with co-workers and smiling at people you don’t know.
The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the _______ was 7:30pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a _______ evening of wine, _______, and song.
By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had _______. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were _______. But no one wanted to _______, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was _______ off their heads. Jane and David left _______ and angry.
Their _______ suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made ____________. Everyone ____________ and understands the invitations ____________. Most of us would agree that 6:30-8:30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8:00pm or 8:30pm means possible ____________, but 9:30pm and any time thereafter means no food, eat beforehand, arrive late.
But this is not always the case. If ____________ to a students’ party at 6:30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares.

Taking care of unsolved issues of the past will free you to move ahead with confidence. The final step toward putting your past behind so that you can reach for what’s possible is tying up your loose ends. Loose ends are the unsolved relationships that keep you from sleeping worry free at night. 1. You have a loose end if there’s someone you don’t want to sit next to at a holiday dinner. Loose ends are distracting and have an amazing way of biting you in the bottom at the worst times.
How to Tie up Your Loose Ends
1. 2.These could be past relationships, employers, business partners, friends, family, or co–workers.
2. Contact each of these five loose ends. Invite each separately to a coffee shop or some other nonthreatening, non-alcohol environment. Tell each one that you want to apologize for allowing things to get crossways between you. Some may doubt your intentions, but tell them that you sincerely feel it’s time to clear the air. Ask those who agree to meet to write down any ways they think you wronged them, and you do the same. 3.
3. Show up on time and thank each for being forgiving enough to meet with you. Be an adult here—finger pointing only tears people apart. Remember, your experience may be—and most likely is—totally different from his. Listen to each issue each of them raises and try to see it from their perspectives (视角). 4. Seek to understand why they have bad feelings toward you. Apologize for each thing they think you did to wrong them (even if you don’t completely agree with his view of the situation).
After you tie up your first loose end, you’ll want to solve them all. This is hard to explain until you have done it; but once you do, you’ll know what I mean. 5. Most of all, I think this process helped me become a more understanding and patient friend.
A.I learned so much about myself by tying up my loose ends.
B.Tell them to bring this list to your get–together.
C.You have a loose end if there’s someone you don’t want to run into on a first date or at work.
D.Loose ends are very disturbing for everyone in our life.
E.Here is a guide on how to tie up your loose ends.
F.Don’t interrupt them when they are sharing.
G.Identify the five people with whom you have the most unsolved issues.
