How to beat sadness

We all have days when we are down, tired and unhappy．That’s OK．You need days like this, or how would you know you are happy? You’ll enjoy your good days even more when you have a few bad days．Even if sadness is a part of life, let’s try to make it small．Here are a few simple ways to help you feel better when you are feeling sad.

1．Stand up straight and this helps your energy flow (流动)．When your energy is flowing freely, you can flow too.

2．Smile! It’s easy to do and have good results．This way can not only leave you in a good mood but also bring other people a good mood.

3．Listen to music．It can be your favorite music．Some kinds of music work better than others, so try and find out what kind of music works the best for you.

4．Take some “me” time．You can find pleasure in reading a book, watching a sunrise or having a hot bath, or something like that.

5．Exercise．Even something as simple as taking a walk will get your blood flowing．It is a great way to clear your mind of anything that makes you sad.

These ways will cheer you up when you are down, but don’t just use them when you are sad．Try and practice them every day to make them a habit．You will be surprised to learn that these simple ways will keep your sadness away．But if you are in a deep depression (沮丧), go to see a doctor.

C

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an active person who enjoys life．Do you like blue? Then you may be quiet, shy and prefer following to leading.

Colours influence our moods．There is a relationship between colours and moods．A yellow room makes people feel cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings us warmth and joy on the saddest winter day．Black is depressing (令人压抑的)．There was a black bridge over River Thames．The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than that on any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green．

Light and bright colours make people not only happier but also more active．In the factory, the workers will work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black．

1.An active person may like ________.

A．yellow, orange or red

B．yellow, black or red

C．orange, blue or black

D．green, blue or brown

B．Because people didn’t like the bridge.

C．Because the colour of the bridge was depressing．

D．Because no one saved them.

4.In the factory, when the machines are painted orange, the workers will work ______.

A．worse

B．harder

B

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs．In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t．It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs．But this isn’t accepted by all people.

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living．This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education．In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school．People can get education for a living in a short time．Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone．Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地), either．Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man．It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities．After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human．Education is to make a man lead a better life．Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the whole world.

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

1.People with little education usually ____.

A．spend a long time in school

B．have a good chance to get a job

C．spend the best years to choose jobs

D．have fewer chances to get a good job

2.The earliest education was probably to ______.

A．make a man lead a better life

B．teach a man to write and think

C．make people get a way of living

D．teach people to read good books

3.The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “_______” in Chinese.

A．圆满的

B．崭新的

C．公平的

D．全面的

4.It is expected that educated people will be able to _____.

A．accept education as a way of living

B．take an interest in the whole world

C．develop their abilities to make plays

D．learn subjects like language and math

5.The passage mainly tells us that _______.

A．education should make a man improve

B．people can get education in a short time

C．people should be able to get better paying jobs

D．all subjects are so important for a way of living

John and Bob were neighbours．For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well．But one day their good relationship broke.

John said．“My neighbour Bob dug(挖) a stream between the two farms．I want you to build a fence(栅栏)—an 8-foot fence．I don’t want to see his place or his face any more.”

The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I’ll be able to do a job that makes you happy.”About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job．The farmer’s eyes opened wide．There was no fence there at all!

It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出)．“Hi, John! You’re quite a guy to build this bridge!”

Later they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go．“No, wait! Stay a few days．I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said John．“I’d love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but I have more bridges to build.”

1.Before John found a stream between the two farms, John and Bob _______each other.

A．didn’t speak to

2.John asked the carpenter to build a fence because _________.

A．he wanted to protect his farm

B．he didn’t want to do it himself

Street Markets Around the World

There are many ways of shopping．You can shop by telephone, by post or through your home computer, but for many people, the most exciting way to shop is also the most traditional—at a street market．You can find markets anywhere in the world．Here are four of them:

There are many “floating markets” in Asia; perhaps the most unusual(非同寻常) is in Thailand(泰国), at a place called Damned Saduak．It’s open from six in the morning to the noon every day．People sell fresh fruit from their boats.

Many Belgians(比利时人) say that the Grand Place is the most beautiful square in the world．It’s the home of a colorful flower market．It’s open every day except(除了) Monday．On Monday, instead of(替代) flowers, there’s a wonderful bird market.

One of the world’s famous markets is in Mexico City(墨西哥城)—the Sonora Market．You can buy toys, birds, herbs(草本) and medicine．There’re all kinds of things．It’s open every day from early in the morning till late at night.

In England, on Saturday and Sunday thousands of young people from all over London travel to the Camden Market—it’s the place to go for street fashion, CDs and tapes．Many people also go there for fun.
