Hating someone hurts one’s own health since it causes anger within， and this anger can harm one’s health if it builds too high． Health is wealth， and forgiveness (原谅) is the way to go． Forgiving someone will help to make you feel better and solve the problems about relationships． The following steps may help you： Recognize the way． Many a time， we don’t know why we hate someone and continue to walk on a road that troubles one’s mental and physical health and happiness． We should be able to recognize the way first that you treat him / her when we come across a certain human being． Once we are able to recognize the way， we can then move on to the next step． Find the cause． We should try to search within ourselves about what and how that person has hurt us， and why we hate them． Finding a cause helps us to bring closure within ourselves， and we can open up to discussion within ourselves， and even with the person whom we hate． Face that person． Coming face-to-face with the person whom one hates is a challenge， but facing him / her will lead to peace of mind and a sound sleep at night． Brave up and face that person． Start a conversation． Once in the presence of the person who is hated， start a conversation and communicate about what bothers you． Being frank about what and how that person’s behavior makes oneself angry will help both discuss problems， and will finally lead to clarification． Say sorry to him/ her． Apologizing to the disliked person can do wonders for one’s physical and mental being， bringing happiness and satisfaction． Keeping one’s egos (自负) aside and expressing regret are the keys to forgiveness． Once you forgive a person， be patient and kind to yourself． Express your pain and worries， and do not keep it bottled up． Thanks for the goodness of people around you， and imagine a new life with energy each day． This will help to shape each day free of pain． 1.What can help you to solve the problems about relationships? 2.What should we do first if we want to forgive a person we hate? 3.Why do we need to face the person we hate? 4.What are the keys to forgiveness according to the passage? 5.What is the passage mainly about?
Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance (pocket money)． The purpose is to let children learn from experiences at an age when financial (财务的) mistakes are not very costly． How much money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish is quite different from family to family． Timing is another consideration． Some children get a weekly allowance． Others get a monthly allowance． In any case， parents should make clear what， if anything， the child is expected to pay for with the money． At first， young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it． If they do this， they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget (预算)． Parents are usually advised not to offer more money until the next allowance． The object is to show young people that a budget requires a choice between spending and saving． Older children may be responsible enough to save money for larger costs， like clothing or electronics． Many people who have written on the subject of allowances say it is not a good idea to pay your children for work around the home． These jobs are a normal part of family life． Paying children to do other work around the house， however， can be useful． It can even provide an understanding of how a business works． Allowances give children a chance to experience the three things they do with money． They can share it in the form of gifts or giving a good cause． They can spend it by buying things they want． Or they can save it． Saving helps children understand that costly goals sometimes need to give up something． You have to cut costs and plan for the future． Requiring children to save part of their allowances can also open the door to future saving and investing． Many banks offer services to help children and teenagers learn about personal finance． A saving account (账户) is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest (复利息)． Compounding works by paying interest． So， for example， one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will get two percent of one dollar and two cents， and so on． That may not seem like a lot， but over time it adds up． 1.Parents give their children allowance in order to ______． A．let them make more money B．pay for the housework they do C．let them learn the value of money D．help children manage family finance 2.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．The time to give allowance． B．The way to spend allowance． C．How much allowance given to children． D．Considerations taken to give allowances． 3.Why are parents advised to offer children allowances as planned? A．To have children save money for larger costs． B．To give them more allowances next time． C．To help children learn to make a budget． D．To let children make fewer mistakes． 4.What does the writer try to tell us? A．The ways of limiting allowances． B．The advice on a better family budget． C．Offering allowance to children properly． D．Teaching children to use allowances wisely．
Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn (打哈欠) and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well， obviously it’s because we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains． Put simply， the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something， our brains model after it， whether or not we actually perform the same action． This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile， talk， walk， dance or play sports． But the idea goes further： mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people． Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel． Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language． A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example： “The hand took hold of the ball”)， the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example， actually taking hold of a ball)． Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior． Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning (行使职责)． However， it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders． Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave， communicate and spend time together． Indeed， it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein’s theory of relativity (相对论) was for physics． And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does – well， perhaps you’ll understand why． 1.Mirror neurons can explain ______． A．why we cry when we are hurt B．why we cough when we catch a cold C．why we smile when we see someone else smile D．why we yawn when we see someone else get up late 2.The word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”． A．set off B．cut off C．broken out D．found out 3.We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _______． A．relate to human behavior and communication B．decide our knowledge and language abilities C．result in bad behavior and social disorders D．control human actions and appearances 4.What is the passage mainly about? A．Ways to find mirror neurons． B．Problems of mirror neurons． C．Discovery of mirror neurons． D．Functions of mirror neurons．
Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys? The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences． To the Egyptians， green is a color that means the hope and joy of spring， while for Muslims， it means heaven． Red stands for good luck in many cultures． In China， children are given money in a red envelope to bring good luck in the New Year． For many nations， blue stands for protection． Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves from bad people or bad things happening． People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them． Green is said to be the most restful color． It has the ability to cut down pain and relax people both mentally and physically． People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches． Red can cause a person’s blood pressure (血压) to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲)． Many designers will include different shades of red in restaurants． Similarly， some websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eyes． Blue is another color which can make you feel peacefully． Unlike red， blue can cause people to lose appetite． So if you want to eat less， some suggest that eating from blue plates can help． The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room， think about the color carefully． 1.To the Egyptians， green means ______． A．good luck B．joy of spring C．heaven D．protection 2.We can learn from Paragraph 3 that green can ______． A．cause more stomachaches B．easily catch a person’s eyes C．cut down pain and relax people D．make people’s blood pressure rise 3.Why will some websites have a red “Buy Now” button? A．To help people relaxed． B．To bring people good luck． C．To make people feel peaceful． D．To encourage people to buy the things． 4.What color might help lose weight according to the text?

Organize a blank drive It is cold outside, but imagine how thousands of homeless people may feel without a home of their own, or even a blanket to keep them from the cold. Organize a blank drive for your local homeless, and ask around for donations! Practice random acts of kindness I’ll never forget the time when I went to pay for my Dr. Pepper, but the server resisted, saying my bill was paid by an anonymous(匿名的) guest. It’s this random act of kindness that restores my faith in humanity. Bless someone by paying for their drink at Starbucks, or praising them! If you live somewhere where it snows, shovel your neighbor’s snow out of their driveway for them! Whether it is as simple as praise or as complex as paying the bill, you’ll never know how far your impact will reach. Say thank youust a simple thank-you can make somebody’s day, especially if they feel like their work is never noticed. Cultivate（培养）a smile on their face by being sincere and grateful for all that they do. Use your talents to help the community The best way to show your appreciation for people is by using the talents and skills you have to bless others. For me, I love to coordinate（协调）events and write , and so my way of reaching out to the community is through writing articles and creating awareness about problems we face today. If you can bake, make some delicious cookies for people to enjoy! If you can knit, put your talents to use by making clothes for children in foster care. Any talent can be used to help the community in meaningful ways. Wish you a happy, healthy and helpful holiday season. 1.If you join a blank drive, you can _________. A. collect donations for the homeless people B. bring a blanket to go on a trip C. buy a home for homeless people D. keep yourself from the cold 2.How did the author restore his faith in humanity? A.

阅读理解。 When a computer works on a group of programs, it can get very hot. Cooling the computer can cost a lot. So some scientists wonder what would happen if the heat from the computer could be used. Large Internet companies (公司) such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computers. As these computers deal with information, they produce lots of heat, so they need huge cooling systems (系统). These systems send the heat into the air. A company in Holland (荷兰) thinks paying to make the computers work and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy. So the company developed a special device—the e-Radiator. Boaz Leupe, head of the company, says that e-Radiator works as a heating system and saves money. He explains that the energy is used twice—once to heat the home and once to cool the computer and that the users don’t have to pay to cool their computers. Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes. “We pay for the computer using, so, in that way, homeowners get heating for free,”Boaz says. Jan Visser is one of the homeowners. “If you use the computer more, the e-Radiator producers more heat, ”he says, “It cannot provide enough heat if you don’t use your computer often.” But he is ready to try it. It’s a great help for his family. The company says e-Radiators produce heat temperatures of up to 55℃. It says the system could save its users about $440 a year. 1.Before the e-Radiator appears, usually the heat of a computer ______. A. is sent into the air B. helps the five homeowners C. is used twice D. makes the computer work better 2.The e-radiator is mainly used _____. A. to drive the computer B. to help Microsoft C. to heat the computer D. to provide heat 3.The Chinese meaning of the word “device” in this passage is probably “____”. A.节能 B. 实验 C. 仪器 D. 开关 4.The best title of the passage may be “_____”. A. An Environment Problem B. A New Way to Heat Homes C. The Future Computers D. The Energy to Be Wasted
