I don’t think I need to tell you that reading is good for you — great for you. 1. Sometimes, people do want to read — they’ve got a book at home sitting on the shelf that they fancy — but can never seem to find the time. Well, my friends, this post is for you.
● 2.
Obviously, to get yourself motivated to read, read something that interests you. Society, animals, philosophy, science, art — whatever you want. If you’re drawn to the book, you’ll be more willing to pick it up and read it.
● Have a goal.
Some people set radical (激进的) goals for themselves like reading one book a week. Obviously, you don’t have to be as radical as that. 3. It’s all up to you. But setting a goal and trying to reach it gives you a focus that’ll help you get the job done.
● 4.
If you’re determined, use every possible moment. On the bus. On the subway. On your lunch break. When you’re at the gym. You won’t regret it, I promise!
● Just start.
Sometimes the thing preventing us from reading is our own mind. Our mind will make up all kinds of excuses not to do something. Not get out of bed. Not clean the house. Not shower. And in this case, not read. The trick to bypassing (避开) this mental block is to just pick up the book and read! 5. Once you start reading, it’s quite difficult to stop!
A.Reading is a pleasure.
B.Have a reading partner.
C.Read whenever you can.
D.Unfortunately, most people don’t read.
E.Don’t pour too much thought into the action. Just do it.
F.When you set a goal, letting yourself down isn’t really a big deal.
G.You can start by reading a book a month, or a book every two months even.
All adults at some time or another commit (犯罪) a crime, sometimes by accident, but why do some people intentionally commit crimes? Here are three theories that try to explain the causes of criminal behaviour.
GENETIC (遗传的) CAUSES
The idea that some people commit crimes because of biological causes has a long tradition. This theory suggests that criminals are born, not made. In the 19th century some people even thought brain sizes and skull shapes could explain criminal behaviour. Although experts today no longer believe this, they do argue that human behaviour can be linked to an individual’s genes. Studies of adopted children who show criminal behaviour suggest that their behaviour is more similar to their biological parents behaviour-than their adoptive parents’, showing a genetic link.
ENVIRONMENT
This theory states that a person’s surroundings influence their behaviour. Just as children learn good behaviour from their parents and brothers or sisters, children can learn bad behaviour from their families and other close relationships. Researchers in this area argue that early anti-social (反社会的) behaviour in childhood often leads to a future of criminal behaviour. It is a dangerous circle, as one expert states: “Problem children are likely to grow up into problem adults, and problem adults are likely to produce more problem children.”
CHOICE
The central idea of this theory is that crime is a career decision, an alternative (可选择的) way of making a living. The theory argues that most criminals are sensible people, who know what they want and the different ways of getting it, i.e. work or crime. They are able to balance the risks of committing a crime, such as going to prison, against its benefits, i.e. what they gain if they aren’t caught. The conclusion is: if there are more benefits than risks, do it, but if there are more risks than benefits, don’t do it.
1.What does the second theory conclude?
A.A family determines a child’s future.
B.Relatives play a key role in a person’s crime.
C.Uneducated children tend to become criminals.
D.The environment greatly influences people’s behaviour.
2.According to the text, criminals ________.
A.consider what they can lose and gain in a crime
B.don’t think before they decide on a life of crime
C.tend to believe they can avoid the risks of a crime
D.often achieve their goals through crime instead of work
3.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Types of crimes
B.Crimes and punishments
C.Why do people commit crimes?
D.What influences will crimes have?
It is rightly said one can share any secret with a true friend. He may know your deepest fears and weaknesses and yet will never take advantage of you. However, keeping a friend’s secrets to yourself and not telling the world is what makes the bond grow strong and last forever. You need to develop trust and mutual (互相的) understanding before you start sharing secrets with each other. With friends, secret talks never seem to end and it can get really amusing to know what has been going on in your friend’s mind.
There is a certain time in life especially from the teenage years when one starts having a personal periphery (界限) in life and parents are excluded (排斥) from it. It is because there are certain things that they can’t understand and we can’t discuss with them. That is when friends become the best secret sharers. They are the ones to whom one reveals one’s feelings and best kept secrets.
It is a general belief that only girls share secrets. But boys have their own secrets that they discuss with only closest friends. The secret talks can range (变化) from relationships, talks about fights with parents, secret activities and anything that is not supposed to be known to others! If you think secrets are limited to only teenagers, get your facts right! Secrets can be shared at any age and there is no hard and fast rule that secrets are shared only among youngsters.
Sharing secrets with a friend is not just fun, but it also helps to develop a lasting trust in one another. Sometimes, sharing secrets will tell you more about the person. You will come to know whether your friend is reliable and trustworthy and whether it is worth sharing your secrets with them. You can call it a test of friendship.
1.What is an advantage of sharing secrets with a friend?
A.It helps a lot in your study.
B.It leads you to a carefree life.
C.It makes you popular with other people.
D.It contributes to a long-term mutual belief.
2.What does Paragraph 2 mainly try to show?
A.Parents are always the best people to share secrets with.
B.Teenagers prefer to share secrets with their friends.
C.Parents should build trust with teenagers.
D.Teenagers grow to be independent.
3.The underlined word “reveals” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by ______.
A.proves B.tells
C.gets D.holds
4.What can be learned about sharing secrets?
A.It’s limited to girls.
B.It follows strict rules.
C.It can happen at any age.
D.It does harm to a strong bond.
