My attempts at building a friendly relationship with him were met with complete indifference. I could see that his classmates fared no better. Willard was strictly a loner who seemed to have no desire or need to break his silence． Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday, we received word of the annual Christmas collection of money for the less fortunate people in our school district. “Christmas is a season of giving,” I told my students. “There are a few students in the school who might not have a happy holiday season. By contributing to our Christmas collection, you will help buy food, clothing and toys for these needy people. We will start the collection tomorrow.” When I called for the contributions the next day, I discovered that almost everyone had forgotten except for Willard P. Frank. The boy dug deep into his pants pockets as he walked slowly to my desk. Carefully, he dropped two quarters into the small container. “I don’t need milk for lunch,” he mumbled. For a moment, just a moment, he smiled. Then he turned and walked back to his desk. That night, after school, I took our few contributions to the school principal. I couldn’t help sharing the incident that had taken place. “I may be wrong, but I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him,” I told the principal. “Yes.” he nodded. “And we might do well to have him share a bit of his world with us. I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need help through the Christmas collection. Here, take a look at it.” As I gazed down to read, I discovered Willard P. Frank and his family were the top names on the list. Seeing this, I decided to do something for him.

Therapeutic (治疗性的) writing involves participating in writing activities to deal with emotional issues. People work under the direction of a therapist (治疗学家) for most of the time. 1. In both cases, participants adopt expressive writing to put down thoughts, emotions, and other experiences. Therapeutic writing can be useful in cases where people have difficulty communicating by other means. A client who is having trouble with a situation, for example, might write a letter to the people involved as part of therapy. 2. Besides, it works on how to approach the people in real life to settle the issue. Exercises in therapeutic writing typically encourage people to write for a block of time, such as 15 minutes. They may be asked to write about their days or issues coming up in their lives. In guided therapy, the therapist may review the writing and discuss it with the patient. 3. Some people keep writing regular journals to share with their therapists and others. 4. Therapists can also use electronic journals to help patients between sessions, looking at what they’re writing about and identifying specific issues to discuss in therapy. 5. People may keep personal journals or diaries intended for their private use, where they can describe events and explore emotions. Some add a self-directed group therapy aspect as well by sharing their writing with friends who can provide advice. A.Some of us think that writing is only for writers. B.There are informal approaches to writing as therapy. C.Participants can benefit from therapeutic writing exercises. D.Sometimes they can start a writing program independently. E.Of course, patients can talk about the emotions that come up while writing. F.This writing can help him or her express goals and a desired result clearly. G.Others may keep an online writing journal and only allow his or her therapist to read.
This year, German environmentalists collected 1.75 million signatures for a “save the bees” law requiring an immediate change toward organic farming. But to create healthy ecosystems worldwide, people in communities across the globe will need to take similar action based on sympathy for insects — and not only for bees and butterflies. The environmentalists presented immediate, science-based actions to slow down the insect decline. “It takes specific law to preserve the amazing variety of insects in the world and we need to stop the destroying of natural habitats, limit road building in parks and reserves and produce food without the use of pesticides,” said Basset, an entomologist, “Conserving insects is not the same as conserving big animals or rare frogs. You can’t keep millions of insects in a zoo.” A recent article in Entomology Today suggests that successful programs to save insects have a clear and simple objective and a strategically chosen audience. By focusing on bees and butterflies and other beautiful, familiar insects, it is possible to enact the law to protect the habitat of lesser known, less attractive, but equally important species. But there are still huge gaps in information about how different species of insects are doing, especially in the tropics. “It is next to useless to weigh insects collected in an area and say that insect communities are increasing or declining.” Basset said. “We need much more specific information. That is expensive and difficult because of the effort that it takes just to identify the species, especially in the tropics. What we are doing now is to group insects by their main function, and then to determine how each group is doing in a specific area of the world.” 1.What should people do to protect insects according to the text? A.Stop building roads in parks and reserves. B.Open up more natural habitats. C.Avoid using pesticides for crops. D.Keep them in a zoo. 2.What can we learn from the successful programs to save insects? A.They have set up laws. B.They focus on specific species. C.They conserve important species. D.They protect the habitat of lesser known species. 3.What are the environmentalists doing now? A.Classifying the insects. B.Identifying the species of insects. C.Doing research on insects’ function. D.Weighing insects collected in an area. 4.What is the best title for the text? A.Helping Insects Is Helping Ourselves! B.Take Action! Insects Need Protection! C.Save the Bees — They Need Your Help! D.Insect Decline: Where Have All the Insects Gone?
Everyone loves a holiday! A little time off for some much-needed R & R (rest and relaxation) can be exactly the thing to refresh. That said, if you’re struggling to think of your next destination, then look no further. Don’t waste time debating, let your blood decide. Everybody has a lineage (宗系). Recently, finding out more about our family origins has become popular. By the start of 2019, 26 million people had taken an ancestry DNA test at home, according to a report by MIT Technology Review. They believe by 2021 this number will have risen to 100 million. This trend has been noticed by opportunistic travel operators. Some are looking to provide a service that both allows people to trace their heritage－by literally going back to their roots－and travel to the destinations where their ancestors originated from. Airbnb, an online lodging marketplace, recently partnered with 23andMe, a DNA testing and analysis company, to offer recommendations that encourage travelers to walk in the footsteps of their forefathers. And they aren’t the only ones. The Shelbourne hotel in Dublin has its own advisor. Hellen Kelly offers consultations to help guests trace their Irish origin using official records. This allows them to ‘fill in the blanks of their Irish ancestry’, she told Good Morning America. The Conte Club, a luxury travel company, offers custom travels based on DNA tests. “These experiences are about exploring deeper into who we really are,” says Conte Club CEO Rebecca Fielding in an article in the Condé Nast Traveller. “It might be the most meaningful trip we can take.” So next time you think of going on vacation, why not take a DNA test first? Once you know how far your family has come, take the time to holiday back. 1.What’s the purpose of the author to write the text? A.To advise people to take a trip. B.To persuade people to take a DNA test. C.To introduce some famous travel operators. D.To encourage people to take ancestry travels. 2.What does the underlined words “this trend” in paragraph 3 refer to? A.More people take time off for holidays. B.More people trace their family origins. C.More people take an ancestry DNA test. D.More people find out their travel destinations. 3.What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A.Clubs providing luxury custom travels. B.Hotels offering travelling consultations. C.Companies offering DNA testing and analysis. D.Travel operators providing services to trace the roots. 4.What does Rebecca Fielding think of the ancestry travel? A.Significant. B.Relaxing. C.Popular. D.Inspiring.
On a Wednesday afternoon in the Eager Road of Oceola Township, Michigan, when a car showed no sign of movement at a stop sign, majority of the motorists honked wildly. Annoyed by the inconvenience the car was causing, the motorists simply drove around the car and left. Fortunately, a 16-year-old motorist, Max Greenwood of Howell High had the heart to hop off his truck and find out what’s really going on. Because of his action, Max was able to inspire two other women to rush over the stopped car and help out the driver. As it turned out, the driver of the stopped car was distressed. Initially, the three did not have a clue about the driver’s alarming situation. When the driver gathered enough strength to share what happened, Max and the two women quickly assisted him. “He told the women he thought his blood sugar was low. He got progressively worse. One of the women gave him a Coke to help his sugar levels, but I could tell it wasn’t helping, so I called 911.” Max said. Thanks to the quick thinking and actions of Max and the two women, help arrived within a few minutes and the driver was transported to a hospital. According to the first medical responders, the man was suffering from a type of medical episode that must be aided immediately. It is horrible to think what could have happened if Max did not concern himself with the reason why the car was not moving and simply minded his own business. Max may just be a 16-year-old student in the eyes of some people. But for the man he has saved, he surely is a modern hero with a golden heart. May his story inspire us to share a bit of our time to help the people we cross paths with! In this day and age, when a lot of kids don’t think about anyone but themselves, he stepped up and it made a difference. 1.How did most motorists react to the stopped car? A.They got off to find out what was up. B.They waited impatiently for the driver. C.They felt annoyed and bypassed the car.

You know that eating healthy, staying active, and solving a few brain games can help keep your memory. But the following lesser-known habits work wonders too. 1. 1. When we sit with our shoulders bent forward, this defeated position actually causes us to feel anxious or depressed — which makes it harder to think clearly and remember things. Conversely (反过来), straight upright posture apparently improves memory because it boosts blood and oxygen flow to the brain. 2. Exercise — Once Having trouble remembering faces? 2. In a study, pictures of faces were shown to older folks after they pedal a stationary (静止的) bike at an intense pace or simply sit on a self-pedaling bike. On average, people remembered the faces better after the intense exercise. What’s more, the memory gains after a single workout were similar to the gains after 3 months of regular exercise. 3. Limit TV Every parent and grandparent has heard that too much screen time can hurt a child’s cognitive development. 3. According to a study, people (aged 50 or older) who watched more than 3.5 hours of TV a day for 6 years experienced a greater drop in verbal memory test scores than those who watched less. 4. Draw aimlessly A research shows those who drew the words remembered the most when recalling words. That’s because while some parts of the brain about getting memory back become worse as people grow older, the picture processing regions usually don’t. 4. 5. Walk Backward 5. Walk back! Backward motion — whether real, imagined, or watched — helps people remember the information better than sitting still and, in most cases, better than forward motion. It may be that moving backward in space mentally helps us move back in time to the moment we learned something. A.Sit Tall. B.Stand Straight. C.Start more workouts. D.Sweat for physical training. E.Thus sketching can help adults keep their memory sharp. F.But what about those at the other end of their life span? G.Next time you’re trying to recall something, don’t just think back.
Anecdotal evidence has long held that creativity in artists and writers can be associated with living in foreign parts. Rudyard Kipling, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway, Paul Gauguin, Samuel Beckett and others spent years living abroad. Now a pair of psychologist has proven that there is indeed a link. As they report in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, William Maddux of INSEAD, a business school in Fontainebleau, France, and Adam Galinsky, of the Kellogg School of Management in Chicago, presented 155 American business students and 55 foreign ones studying in America with a test used by psychologists as a measure of creativity Given a candle, some matches and a box of drawing pins, the students were asked to attach the candle to a cardboard wall so that no wax would drip on the floor when the candle was lit. (The solution is to use the box as a candleholder and fix it to the wall with the pin.) They found 60% of the students who were either living abroad or had spent some time doing so, solved the problem, whereas only 42% of those who had not lived abroad did so. A follow-up study with 72 Americans and 36 foreigners explored their creative negotiating skills. Pairs of students were asked to play the role of seller of a petrol station who then needed to get a job and a buyer who would need to hire staff to run the business. The two were likely to reach a deadlock because the buyer had been told he could not afford what the seller was told was his minimum price. Nevertheless, when both negotiators had lived abroad 70 % struck a deal in which the seller was offered a management job at the petrol station in return for a lower asking price. When neither of the negotiators had lived abroad, none was able to reach a deal. Merely travelling abroad, however, was not enough. You do have to live there. Packing your beach towel and suntan lotion will not, by itself make you Hemingway. 1.What is the purpose of mentioning the famous names in the opening paragraph? A. To show the relationship between creativity and living abroad. B. To indicate the link between artistic creation and life experience. C. To emphasize how great these artists are. D. To impress the importance of creativity. 2.What can be inferred from the text? A. William Maddux and Adam Galinsky have carefully designed the test. B. Negotiators who had lived abroad are more flexible in negotiating. C. American business students are less creative than those oversea students. D. One's creativity is associated with the length one has spent abroad. 3.What does the author mean in the last sentence of paragraph 4? A. There exist sharp differences between travelling and living abroad. B. You shouldn't lie on the beach when travelling. C. Only real experience of living abroad can help drive creativity. D. Living abroad is more meaningful than just travelling abroad. 4.Where is the text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A magazine. C. A novel. D. A guidebook.
Pinocchio may be just a children's fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called ''Pinocchio effect'' and found that our noses don't grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.
Dr. Emilio Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tips of their noses dropped up to 1.2℃, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃. Scientists also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye. ''One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead, '' Dr. Gomez Milan explained the findings. ''At the same time we feel anxious, which lowers the temperature of the nose. '' For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal imaging technology. One of these tasks involved calling a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents, partner or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to devise the lie by themselves during the call, and the thermal cameras picked up this ''reverse Pinocchio effect'' caused by the fluctuation (起伏) in temperature in the nose and forehead. Interestingly, the thermal lie doctor picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie doctor. ''With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy and reduce the occurrence of 'false positives', something that is frequently with other methods such as the polygraph (测谎仪) , '' said Dr. Emilio Gómez Milán, who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results. The thermal lie doctor has been the most reliable in the world, 10% more than the popular polygraph. 1.Why does the author mention ''Pinocchio'' at the beginning? A.To tell a fairy story B.To warn us not to lie. C.To introduce a research. D.To inspire us to doubt old beliefs. 2.According to the research, what might happen if you tell a lie? A.Your nose gets longer. B.Your nose becomes smaller. C.Your temperature gets higher. D.Your temperature remains stable. 3.What can we learn about the research? A.Researchers conduct the study by interviewing. B.Researchers design difference lies for participants. C.The thermal lie detector will prove a popular one. D.The thermal lie doctor may assist law enforcement. 4.Which might be the best title for the passage? A.Will lie detectors tell the truth? B.Will lying make your nose longer? C.Will lying make your temperature rise? D.Will thermal imaging technology be reliable?
Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you’re in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane(通道) for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them. The Lakeside Shopping Center in Essex has introduced a 720-foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the Christmas rush. The Center’s management team said, “The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.” The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the Christmas shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period. Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn’t surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world. “Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centers tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season,” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth. The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include“Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely, “Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers" who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers. 1.The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who____. A.can’t move quickly because of physical disabilities B.buy things on their shopping lists quickly C.take their time to do window shopping D.want to leave the mall quickly 2.What is Gary Mortimer’s attitude to the fast lane? A.Supportive. B.Indifferent. C.Objective. D.Negative. 3.Who patiently moves behind a slow crowd? A.Skaters. B.Dodgers. C.Bulldozers. D.Tutters. 4.What is the main idea of this passage? A.Shopping can be annoying sometimes. B.How to avoid “slow walkers” when shopping. C.The problems that shopping centers face during busy holidays.

I volunteer to do it by saying “My partner, Han Lei, is an eccentric boy.” Heard this, the whole class burst into laugh. After class, I learned about that my mindless words hurt her. It was at that moment which I realized words could be powerful in both positive and negative way. So we should pay many attention to our words when speaking.
