Sometimes we all need positive attitude tips to get through the day. What is this positive attitude anyway? It can be rather 1. (annoy)if you feel bad and I suggest you look at it positively. How?

If you are really feeling low, there is no way you can jump to a 2. (total)positive outlook. But there is a way—taking small  3. (step)and learning new ways of thinking, little by little. If you take it as 4. way of life, only 5. (expect)to find ways to feel a little better, one day you’ll notice you 6. (change)your thinking.

I've been following the path of positive thinking for over twenty years and I'm really happy I started to work on my thoughts. Sure I have gone 7. many unpleasant phases of life, 8. with the positive attitude I walked through them and later found al1 those phases were blessings in disguise. Still, when you start your journey of positive thinking, you shall meet wonderful new people, with  9. you can share positive attitude. And that’s really 10.  makes the whole journey so much fun. We are here for each other. I really hope these tips work for you!

    “5 pm, madam.” “What? My baby can no longer wait for that! Can you please ask the crew a favor to make it  _______ ?”My 3-month-old baby was already very  _______ .His stomach became larger and larger in each hour that passed by.

    Imagine you receive an e-mail that looks something like this: ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY? How does reading this message make you feel? Was he or she angry or did that person just forget to turn off the ‘Caps Lock’ on the computer? The fact is that this e-mail “sounds” like the writer is shouting because using all capital letters in an e-mail is usually the way that people shout online. Knowing when to and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette(规矩)often called netiquette.1. Following are some of her suggestions.

First always remember that you are sending messages to a real person not just to a computer. Don’t type anything that you wouldn’t say to someone’s face. 2. So make sure your meaning is clear.

Don’t do anything online that you wouldn’t do in real life. Don’t take anything without paying for it unless it's free. Don’t read other people’s e-mail—you wouldn’t you’re your next-door neighbor’s mailbox and open their mail right? And do share your knowledge of the Internet with others.3.

4. Good writing skills as well as correct grammar and spelling do matter. Send polite well-written e-mail messages to others. If you’re uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrase to use, look it up. There are lots of helpful books and websites.

It’s okay to express your opinions online in forums like chat rooms or message boards for example “MSN” or “QQ” but don’t start arguments with people. 5. But they are often unfair to other members of the group. Express your ideas but remember that fighting on or offline is just not right.

A. Remember you’re not the only one online.

B. “Flame wars” in online discussion can be interesting to read.

C. Try to respect others, such as their space, privacy, and feelings.

D. It’s a big place with lots of information and there fire many new things to discover.

E. Remember that people judge you by your words and your actions, so do try to write well.

F. Also remember that he cannot hear the tone of your voice or see the expressive on your face.

G. Virginia Shea’s book Netiquette lists a basic set of dos and don’ts for communicating rightly with others online.

    Some of the most powerful companies in the world have co-founders. For example, Google(Sergey Brin and Larry Page),Apple(Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs),and Microsoft(Bill Gates and Paul Allen)and so on. Having partners can help to deal with the pressure and the failures that come with running a business. No matter how down on your luck you feel they may provide emotional support. They may have extra skills, and be on hand to help out with the day-to-day problems. And an alternate point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of mistakes being overlooked.

Everybody knows Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7.When the phone was launched in 2016,customers praised it for its storage, design and usability, and it may well have been a hit if it weren’t for the fact that it occasionally caught fire and exploded. It was soon banned immediately from flights, and Samsung had no choice but to recall the entire model. The shortcoming reportedly cost the company $1 billion, and a further $17 billion in lost sales. But remember, based on the lesson, the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world! Now we know that failing is part of business success.

One thing that all great companies have in common is that they have failed many times—and luckily, they bounced back. Take Sarah Blakely, founder of shapewear brand Spanx for example. She credits her business success specifically to her failures. “I’d get kicked out of buildings all day long, “she remembered. “People would tear up my business card in my face. But my friends and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I learned that ‘no’ doesn’t always mean ‘no’ ,and that you may get 30 nos before you get the one yes. People told me no with Spanx for two years. “Spanx is worth just over $1 billion—it was a company that Blakely who took a degree in a law school started with just $5 000!

    Owning a lovable,cute pet can unquestionably make one’s home life better and obviously,it can affect pet owners’professional lives as well.In fact,according to a new survey,people who have owned pets may be more professionally successful,and this is definitely good news for ambitious pet parents.

The survey was conducted by Kelton Global Research for Banfield Pet Hospital,according to Fast Company.The researchers surveyed 857 adults in the United States with a variety of careers,as explained in the survey summary on Banfield’s website.Among the C-suite executives(CEOs,etc.)surveyed,93 percent grew with a pet in their home,with 78 percent claiming that growing up with a pet helped cause their career suceess as an adult.Interestingly,83 percent of C-suite executives who participated said they grew up with a dog,59 percent of them said they grew up with a cat,and 37 percent of them said they grew up with another kind of pet.(You’re correct these numbers do not add up.It would seem that many of the people interviewed grew up with multiple kinds of pets.)

So,how exactly does pet ownership cause career success? Well,according to Banfield’s research,executives reported that their pet helped teach them lessons like responsibility,creativity,empathy,discipline,and organization,which have all been valuable in the business world.But what about people who grew up pet-less,but have adopted pets as adults? Luckily for those,the survey showed that current pet ownership can also help with professional success.

According to the research,86 percent of current pet parents surveyed said owning pets helps them stick to a routine,better manage their time,and multitask more efficiently.But even if you don’t think your pet ham directly helped you,your coworkers’knowledge that yon have a pet may actually be beneficial for your career.In fact,80 percent of people surveyed said they“feel more connected to colleagues who are pet owners,”and 79 percent of those surveyed believe that fellow co-workers who have pets are“hard workers.”

1.What do the figures in Paragraph 2 show?

A.There is a rising demand for pets.

B.Owning pets can make for professional success.

C.More and more CEOs become aware of pots’effects.

D.Pets become commercialized among C-suite executives.

2.What can we learn from this passage?

A.The research is based on people from many walks in the world.

B.Keeping pets provides the most valuable lessons for career.

C.Pet ownership hardly benefits those who keep pets as adults.

D.People who own a pet tend to get along well with colleagues.

3.What is the author’s attitude toward keeping a pet?

A.Indifferent. B.Critical. C.Objective. D.Concerned.

    Parents and kids today dress alike,listen to the same music,and are friends.Is this a good thing? Sometimes,when Mr.Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter,Elizabeth,listen to rock music together and talk about interests they both enjoy,such as pop culture.he remember his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom,‘Hey,the new Weezer album is really great.How do you like it?’”says Ballmer.“There was just a complete gap in taste.”

Music was not the only gulf.From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations,earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.

Today,the generation gap has not disappeared,but it is getting narrow in many families.Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago.Now they are comfortable and common.And parent—child activities,from shopping to sports,involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message,“To my mother,my best friend.”

But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.“There’s still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there,but there is a change happening,”says Kerrie,a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College.“In the middle of that change,there is a lot of confusion among parents.”

Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes.They see the 1960s as a turning point.Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.

“My parents were on the‘before’side of that change,but today’s parents,the 40-year-olds,were on the‘after’side,”explains Mr.Ballmer.“It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days,because life is more difficult to understand or deal with,but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”

1.What can we learn about Mr.Ballmer in Paragraph 1 ?

A.He and Elizabeth both 1ike Weezer.

B.He had different interests with his mom.

C.He had a bad relationship with his mom.

D.He liked talking about music with his mom.

2.What does the underlined word“democratic”probably mean?

A.Equal. B.Peaceful. C.Active. D.Considerate.

3.The passage is mainly about_____________.

A.the problems of parent-child relationship

B.the strategies for parent-child relationships

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.

Many people take the idea of saving money very seriously. Back in 1924, in Italy, a group of people1. (think) the inability to resist spending a major social problem. They had the idea of starting a day to remind people to put away some money for a rainy day. This is how World Saving Day, held on Oct 31st  2.(annual) ,was started, and it's still going strong in 2019.

Not surprisingly, a movement 3.（ target ） the poor was started. People in the underdeveloped world are more open 4. calls to be careful with money. But 5. idea of being thrifty （节俭）has also become popular among the rich. Take Mark Zuckerberg for example. The Facebook founder, one of the world's 6.（ rich） people, doesn't spend very much money on himself.

Other people don't spend money because they don't like the culture of 7.（ consume）. This is connected to the view 8. we should make ourselves happy through the activities we take part in, rather than with what we buy.

But however we view money, moderate 9. （spend） is certainly a good idea when we are still too young to get a job. There is a British saying that offers some good advice in this situation: “ Look after the pennies, and the pounds will look after 10.（they）."

    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?

    There was no one quite like my father in our town. When any other man had an extra dollar, he bought a drink; when Father had an extra dollar, he bought a book. Other people had pictures on their walls; we had books, 3000  of them, lining every vertical surface of our little four-room house.

Father was the most persistent scholar I ever knew. He earned seven degrees, attended 11 different colleges and universities, and in 1951, when he was 82, sent us a cheerful little note from England to say that he had just enrolled for a graduate course in Elizabethan literature at Oxford.

I was the immediate beneficiary of Father's unbelievable hunger to learn. Every spring, he would take me hiking through the mountains to study mineral formations. On clear winter nights, he would set up a telescope and wake me to view the stars. After I grew up, wherever I traveled around this earth, the stars remained my friends.

Plain, distinct speech was a particular concern of my father and he was constantly drilling me in the art of elocution （演讲技巧）.Before I was three, he was reading aloud to me from the Bible, Shakespeare and Mark Twain. Thereafter, read aloud to him so he could work on my diction. By the time I was in the fifth grade, I could recite from a whole range of classical literature and poetry.

Of course, there had been times as a young man, when I got tired of study and devoted my time to playing. Then Father would admonish me succinctly by quoting a saying from Shakespeare, "If all the year were playing holidays, to sport would be as tedious （乏味的）as to work."

Obviously, his efforts were not entirely in vain, for my voice has enabled me to earn a fair livelihood. But that fact doesn't begin to define the enormous debt I owe my father.

1.What contributed to my father's being a successful scholar?

A.His gift for academic studies.

B.The academic environment in our town.

C.The wealth of his family.

D.His lifelong passion for knowledge.

2.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined words in Paragraph 5?

A.Criticize me briefly. B.Comfort me patiently.

C.Praise me gently. D.Challenge me bravely.

3.Which of the words below can best describe the author's father?

A.Stubborn and lazy. B.Kind and generous.

C.Consistent and strict. D.Understanding and moody.

4.What may be the best title for the passage?

A.A Successful Scholar B.Enormous Debt

C.Secrets of My livelihood D.Father and Son
