Sticking to your body’s natural sleep-wake cycle is one of the most important strategies for achieving good sleep. If you keep a regular sleep schedule, you will feel much more refreshed and energized than if you sleep the same number of hours at different times. This holds true even if you change your sleep schedule by only an hour or two.1. Try the following ways to help you stick to your body clock, and you will have a better sleep.

2. Keeping a regular sleep-wake schedule helps set your body’s internal clock and improve the quality of your sleep. Start by setting realistic bedtime that will work with your lifestyle.3. If you’re getting enough sleep, you should wake up naturally without an alarm. If you need an alarm clock to wake up on time, you may need to set earlier bedtime.

Avoid sleeping in — even on weekends or nights you’ve stayed up late.4. If you need to make up for late night, choose a daytime nap rather than sleeping in. This way allows you to pay off your sleep debt with disturbing your natural sleep-wake rhythm.

Be smart about napping. As mentioned above, napping is a good way to recharge and make up for lost sleep hours. But if you tend to have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep throughout the night, napping can make things worse.5. Besides, limiting them to 15 to 20 minutes in the early afternoon is a good idea.

A.Never sleep after dinner.

B.Consistency is vitally important.

C.Try to go to sleep and get up at the same time every day.

D.Don’t turn to sleeping pills every time you can’t sleep quickly.

E.If sleeplessness is a problem for you，consider ridding naps altogether.

F.Choose a time when you normally feel tired, so that you will fall fast asleep.

G.The more your weekend / weekday sleep schedules differ, the worse the jet lag-like symptoms you will experience.

On her first morning in America, last summer, my daughter went out to explore her new neighborhood alone.

Of course we were worried; we had just moved from Berlin, and she was just 8. But when she came home, we realized we had no reason to worry. She told us with pride how she had discovered the little park around the corner, and had made friends with a few local dog owners.

When this story comes up in conversations with American friends, we are usually met with polite disbelief.

A study by the University of California has found that American kids spend 90 percent of their free time at home, often watching TV or playing video games. Even when kids are physically active, they are watched closely by adults, either in school, at home, at afternoon activities or in the car. It seems that America’s middle class has taken overprotective parenting to a new level, with the government even acting as a super nanny.

Just take the example of the case of 10-year-old Rafi and 6-year-old Dvora Meitiv in 2015, in Silver Spring, Maryland, who were picked up by the police because their parents had dared to allow them to walk home from the park alone. The state’s Child Protective Services said their parents were guilty.

In reality, child abductions (绑架) by strangers in Silver Spring park are as rare as tiger attacks. Children are overprotected, which encourages dependency and affects their abilities to care for themselves and weigh risks. Mark Hemingway writes in The Federalist, “You know what it’s called when kids make mistakes without adult supervision (监督) and have to struggle with the possible results? Growing up.”

At least, parents who want to give their children more room to walk around shouldn’t be punished. Children are not easily damaged objects to be protected at all times.

1.Why does the author mention his daughter’s experience?

A.To express his worry about her safety.

B.To share the happiness of her growing up.

C.To show she has the space to take risks alone.

D.To encourage us to learn about the environment.

2.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

A.How American kids are raised at present.

B.Why many American kids like staying home.

C.The necessity of supervising kids in America.

D.The weaknesses of the American school system.

3.How is the text mainly developed?

A.By telling an interesting story.

B.By using examples to explain.

C.By pointing out similarities and differences.

D.By showing the effect and then explaining the causes.

A traditional Chinese cough syrup (糖浆), called Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa (念慈庵川贝枇杷膏), is flying off the shelves in New York stores this flu season, following a US news report.

According to a report in The Wall Street Journal last week, Mr. Alex Schweder, a professor of design at Pratt Institute suffering a cough for about 10 days, felt better 15 minutes after he drank a bottle of Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa. It had been recommended by his girlfriend, who first learnt about the cough syrup 30 years ago when she was living in Hong Kong.

Mr. Schweder was shocked by the magical effects of the cough syrup, and recommended it to many people. This, together with other factors, soon made the Chinese medicine popular in New York City.

A 300ml bottle is now sold at US$13.29 on Walmart’s website. This is more than double the former price in some pharmacies (药店) in Manhattan’s Chinatown, selling at about US$6 per bottle. “The number of Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa we sold over the past few days was much more than usual,” said Winnie, a sales staff member of Buy-rite pharmacy in Chinatown. “More and more Westerners are accepting this medicine because it is effective,” she said.

According to the Kingworld Medicines Group’s official website, Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa is made of “valuable Chinese herbs and honey, and has surprising effects in treating coughs.” However, experts warn that taking the cough syrup can carry health risks, including when it is used with other medicines, used too much or taken instead of prescription medication (处方药).

Dr. Keith Brenner, a specialist in pulmonary medicine at Columbia University Medical Centre New York Presbyterian Hospital, said, “I think people who use these things may not even tell the doctor about them, and it’s a problem.”

1.What does the underlined phrase “flying off the shelves” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A.Being stolen. B.Being removed.

C.Being in trouble. D.Being on hot sale.

2.How did Mr. Alex Schweder get to know Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa?

A.He used to have it in Hong Kong.

B.He searched for it on the Internet.

C.His girlfriend introduced it to him.

D.He heard of it from a news report.

3.What can be learned about Nin Jiom Pei Pa Koa?

A.It is priced at US$6 per bottle.

B.It is getting cheaper but very effective.

C.It is made of some foreign herbs and honey.

D.It is sold in pharmacies as well as online.

4.Dr. Keith Brenner’s words in the last paragraph show his ________.

A.hope B.concern

C.anger D.surprise

When I was growing up, we were not an “I love you” family. We certainly found such affection lovely. We just didn’t do it.

I was thinking about all of this on Saturday at my daughter Katie’s recital (演奏会). I had never insisted she do anything in her free time except learn how to play the piano. I carried this from childhood. My parents couldn’t afford these lessons. My daughter mostly accepted this demand with good humor. This has meant, through the years, that our house has been filled with a few muddled (混乱的) complaints mixed with versions of songs.

The day of the recital, I was listening to Katie practice The Entertainer, and one note was not good. I don’t know how to play the piano, but I did say, “Hey, Katie, maybe you should hold that note just a bit longer.” Then she played it again and again. I realized that I had done something unintended — I was making her think too much just a few hours before her recital.

So I told her not to worry about it, but it was too late. She kept at it for a little while longer until finally I said that she’d played it perfectly. I didn’t think we ever isolated that note; I felt pretty bad for even bringing it up.

Then it was time for recital. Katie was the first one to perform. She was dressed well. As I watched her play The Entertainer, all I could think was how grown-up she had become, and that I had already missed the four-, five-, six-year-old versions of her.

She got to the end of the song, and she reached the note we had talked about. And she held it. She held it so long that for an instant it broke her timing on the rest of the song. Then she finished the song, and she looked right at me. Then I hugged her. My parents are right. You don’t have to say the words “I love you”. Sometimes one note will do.

1.How did Katie react to the author’s request for learning piano?

A.She refused to practice it at first.

B.She practiced the piano unwillingly.

C.She paid little attention to practicing.

D.She felt delighted at the very beginning.

2.According to the passage, the author’s advice .

A.was quite professional B.had no practical effects

C.made his daughter happy D.brought trouble to his daughter

3.What can we infer about the author’s parents?

A.They were strict with the author.

B.They wanted the author to be perfect.

C.They didn’t care about the author’s growth.

D.They weren’t good at expressing love in words.

4.What’s the best title of this passage?

A.It’s Not Necessary to Be Perfect

B.One Note Will Express Your Love

C.What Is Love

D.My Daughter Experienced Learning Piano

What is the number one favorite pet in the UK? If you think the answer is dogs, you are wrong. There are 8.6 million cats and 8.3 million dogs in Britain according to recent figures. But experts predict that there will be more dogs than cats next year as dogs become more and more popular.

Dogs as decorations

We like to spend time with our pets. The Queen is famous for her affection for dogs and is often photographed with them. Nowadays some dog owners are more extreme — a few TV celebrities even take their dogs shopping or to restaurants. Chihuahuas are especially popular as “handbag dogs” because they are so tiny.

Dog holidays

People are also giving their pets holidays. Many UK hotels and holiday parks now welcome dogs as guests. What about owners who go abroad? They can leave their pets at a dog hotel or dog spa while they are away. Some even provide their dog guests with a TV.

Dogs are for life

The British charity, Dogs Trust, finds homes for thousands of lost and abandoned dogs every year. Their famous slogan “A dog is for life and not just for Christmas” was created in the 1970s to teach people about the responsibility of owning a dog. Dogs Trust told British people not to give dogs as gifts or treat them like toys.

Dogs on TV

Victoria Sitwell is the host of the popular TV programme called “It’s me or the dog”. In the show Victoria helps dog owners with their pets’ bad behaviour. She tries to find solutions to problems such as a Dalmatian who thinks he owns the house and won’t let the family sit on the sofa, dogs that will only eat ice cream and biscuits and even a bulldog who uses the owner’s bed as a toilet.

Fashion for dogs

You can shop online or on the high street for the latest in dog clothes and accessories. Specialist shops sell items such as dog boots, dog fancy dress costumes, dog coats, dog dresses and dog pants.

1.Why Chihuahuas are usually popular as “handbag dogs”?

A.Because they are naughty.

B.Because the owners like to spend time with their pets.

C.Because they are small in size.

D.Because they often photographed by their owners.

2.What would the owners do with their pets while they are away?

A.Give their pets as gifts to others. B.Treat their pets with a TV.

C.Leave their pets at a dog hotel or dog spa. D.Leave their pets alone at home.

3.Which one is right according to the passage?

A.In the UK, “dogs” is the number one favorite pet.

B.People are also giving their pets holidays.

C.People can’t shop online to buy clothes for their dogs.

D.In the UK, lost or abandoned dogs can’t find homes.

4.Where does the passage most probably come from?

A.A scientific website.

B.A book about how to get along with pets.

C.An entertainment newspaper.

D.A special column about pets.

Every year, my parents and I pay visit to my grandparents in my hometown.

To be honestly, I didn’t want to go this year. You know, my hometown in their memory was so dirty. Rubbish could be seen everywhere, that annoyed me a lot.

The average computer user has between 5 and 15 username/password combinations to log in different kinds of accounts. Some demand you use a specific number of symbols and digits, while others require you to change your password every 60 days. The feeling of confusion resulting from memorizing these login information has grown so common that it actually has a name: password fatigue(疲劳).

Having to remember so many different passwords is annoying, but it can also be dangerous. Because it is virtually impossible to remember a unique password for each of these accounts, many people leave handwritten lists of usernames and passwords on or next to their computers.

1. While these practices make it easier to remember login information, they also make it easier for thieves to hack into accounts.

Single Sign-On (SSO) confirmation and password management software can help solve this problem. With SSO, users only need to remember one password to log in to the main system.

2. SSO software is typically used by large companies, schools, or libraries.

3. If a user loses or forgets the password required to log in to SSO software, the user will then lose access to all of the applications linked to the SSO account. Users who rely on password management software face the same problems.

Although most websites or network systems allow users to recover or change lost passwords by providing email addresses or answering a prompt(提示), this process can waste time and cause further frustration. What is more, recovering a forgotten password is only a temporary solution. 4.

Some computer scientists have suggested computers rely on biometrics(生物测定学). 5. The use of biometrics raises questions concerning privacy and can also be expensive to practice.

Software engineers and computer security experts are still searching for the cure to password fatigue. Until they find the perfect solution, however, everyone will simply have to rely on the password system currently in place.

A.It does not address the larger problem of password fatigue.

B.These software programs have been built into many major web browsers.

C.The problem with password management software makes users feel powerless.

D.The SSO software then automatically logs the user in to other accounts within the system.

E.However, SSO confirmation and password management software also have drawbacks.

F.This is a method of recognizing human users based on unique traits, such as fingerprints, voice, or DNA.

G.Others solve this problem by using the same password for every account or using extremely simple passwords.

Someone has put forward a dream home which is so advanced that its kitchen can suggest what to make with certain things. Also, a Microsoft home doesn’t just warn you when you’re out of milk—it can send you a fresh gallon.

But are these innovations just magic, or are they really coming soon to a neighborhood near you? To find out, US News asked some experts to get their opinions about the home of the not-so-distant future. Here’s a look at the innovations.

The housing boom was marked by mass-produced buildings filled with units which look the same. The coming years, however, will give way to a personalized approach to home construction, with houses as more of an instrument of self-expression. “The successful builders will be the ones that figure out how to change their production model enough to make the buyers feel like they are really getting something that is designed for them, not just a model,” says Kermit Baker, the chief economist at the American Institute of Architects.

Future homes will probably shrink. “We will be building smaller but smarter houses,” says Ed McMahon, a senior resident fellow at the Urban Land Institute. “Instead of having a room for just one use, consumers will demand homes that make better use of space,” says Susanka, whose best-selling book, The Not So Big House, has become increasingly influential in home design. Seldom-used quarters, such as dining and living rooms, will be replaced with space that can serve both functions. “The goal of his ‘right-size’ home is to fit its owners like a specially cut suit rather than a jacket you buy in a store,” says Susanka.

1.Why does the writer mention a dream home and a Microsoft home?

A.To lead to the topic of the passage.

B.To tell us what kind of house to buy.

C.To tell us that technology develops fast.

D.To tell us something about future homes.

2.According to the third paragraph, future houses will ________.

A.be mass-produced

B.have a lot of things in common

C.express the owners’ personalities

D.be designed by the owners themselves

3.The underlined word “shrink” can be replaced by “________”.

A.become cleaner

B.become brighter

C.become smaller

D.become more comfortable

4.Smarter houses in the last paragraph refer to houses that ________.

A.have a room for every use

B.can make better use of space

C.have very advanced furniture

D.can warn you when you’re out of milk

There are quite a few advantages of wearing school uniforms. The idea may seem disagreeable at first, but considering all the positive effects coming from wearing uniforms you would be more likely to enjoy them.

It gives students the opportunity to learn how to dress like young ladies and gentleman. And they can focus their attention on academics rather than style.

Parents could also enjoy an easy morning, as it will take less time to choose a set of clothes for the school day.

Students wearing uniforms will feel less pressure about what to wear or not to wear when their classmates are dressed similarly. Getting dressed before school becomes less of a chore(琐事) when students are limited in their choices, so there shouldn’t be any trouble about choosing an outfit for the day and getting ready quickly. Some students may not like the lack of individuality(个性) with a uniform, but some school dress code policies may offer them the opportunities to show their unique styles.

One day, a young soldier walked up to a much decorated senior officer in the army and asked him: “Sir, what is the secret of your success in the army? I want to be an officer too.”

The officer looked at the young soldier steadily (一动不动地) for about three minutes and gave him a threatening (带有威胁的) order. He gave the young soldier a cup full of water and told him to walk round the training field five times. He clearly told him that his life depended on it, and if a drop of water fell from the cup, another soldier would shoot him on the head. Four soldiers were strategically (战略上的) positioned to shoot him down once a drop of water fell from the cup.

The young soldier replied, “No.”

“What about those people fighting across the other side of the field?”

Freshers’ Week

In British universities, new students have a special name: they are called Freshers. After their A-level exams, young people in the UK often make a fresh start by going to university. Which can involve leaving their family and moving to a new city. 1..

Freshers’ Week is a chance to make lots of new friends and try out different hobbies. Most universities in the UK have a Union building: a place where students go to have fun. 2. It also hosts various societies, including sports teams, political groups, etc. Students buy a membership to be part of a society and go to social events to meet others with similar interests. Sometimes there are quite a lot of students in lectures so it is difficult to get to know people in class. Therefore, each subject has its own club, such as the English Society and the Philosophy Society.

3. Tours of the town, creative workshops and parties are great ways to socialize with others. Sometimes famous singers come and play concerts especially for the new students of the university. There are also opportunities to go on trips to theme parks or other big cities nearby.

Students often move into “halls of residence” in their first year. 4. This is an excellent way to make friends but sometimes it can be difficult if you don’t get along with your new flat-mates or if the shared area gets very messy.

Freshers’ Week can be quite an exhausting experience because so many activities happen at once. A lot of students feel homesick when they first arrive on campus and keep themselves very busy to avoid feeling sad about leaving their family. Some students use their new liberty to drink a lot of alcohol and eat unhealthy food during Freshers’ Week. 5. However, it is supposed to be the best week of your life, and it is also an opportunity to make friends. Remember that it is only the beginning of your time at university and that you have three years ahead of you.

A. Usually it has shops, bars and even underground nightclubs.

B. They live in apartments with their own bedrooms but share a kitchen.

C. The best part of it is that you can share your interests with people around.

D. In Freshers’ Week, lots of activities are organized for Freshers to meet each other.

E. Then comes the great opportunity to make friends, join clubs and settle into university life.

F. This can cause “Freshers’ flu”: people get ill after a week of late nights and non-stop parties.

G. The first week of university life is called Freshers’ Week and is both an exciting and scary experience.

Earthquake in Japan. Donald Trump is accused of planting story about actress’s height after she rejected him. Mexico arrests ex-police chief in case of 43 missing students. Do you really need to know all these things?

Three years ago, I began an experiment. I stopped reading all newspapers and magazines. Televisions and radios were rejected. I deleted tile news apps from my iPhone. I didn’t touch a single free newspaper and deliberately looked the other way when someone tried to offer me any such reading material. The first weeks were hard. Very hard! I was constantly afraid of missing something. But after a while, I had a new understanding. The result after three years: clearer thoughts, more valuable ideas, better decisions, and much more time. And the best thing? I haven’t missed anything important.

A dozen reasons exist to give news a wide berth. Here are the top three: First, our brain reacts differently to different types of information. Shocking, people-based, fast-changing details all appeal to us. News producers capitalize on this. The result: Everything complex, abstract, and profound(深刻的) must be systematically singled out, even though such stories are much more relevant to our lives and to our understanding of the world. As a result, we walk around with a misrepresented mental map of the risks and threats we actually face.

Second, news is irrelevant. In the past year, you have probably consumed about ten thousand pieces of news. Be very honest: Name one of them, just one that helped you make a better decision－for your life, your career, or your business-compared with not having this piece of news. No one I have asked has been able to name more than two useful news stories—out of ten thousand. News organizations claim that their information gives you a competitive advantage. Too many fall for this. If news really helped people advance, journalists would be at the top of the income pyramid.

Third, news is a waste of time. An average human being spends half a day each week reading about current affairs. This is a huge loss of productivity. Take the 2008 terror attack in Mumbai. Let’s say a billion people viewed the minute-by-minute updates and listened to the chatter of a few “experts” and “commentators.” Thus our conservative calculation: One billion people multiplied by an hour’s distraction equals one billion hours of work stoppage. News wasted around two thousand lives—ten times more than the attack.

I would predict that turning your back on news will benefit you as much as removing any of the other ninety-eight errors we have covered in the pages of this book. Read long background articles and books. Nothing beats books for understanding the world.

1.What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.Refuse to read news. B.Select news carefully.

C.Question news. D.Help spread news.

2.In the author’s opinion, news _________.

A.represents a competitive advantage B.offers a mental map of the world

C.leads to a loss of productivity D.brings journalists’ income up

3.What’s the main purpose of writing the passage?

A.To offer tips on choosing news.

B.To advocate(支持) giving up reading news.

C.To share experiences on avoiding news.

D.To criticize media's misleading choice of news.

Chinese Emoji(表情符号) Circles Globe

“Funny”, a made-in-China emoji, seems to have recently moved beyond China. Now, it is more than an emoji, but a cultural expansion.

● Reaching Global Markets

A series of “funny” emoji-based bolsters(抱枕) have attracted the attention of Japanese customers. Even if one bolster is more than three times as expensive as in China, it doesn’t kill their desires to buy it. One Japanese customer Miki said, “They are just so cute and I bought three bolsters at one time for my family. And every time I see them, my mood just brightens suddenly.”

A Japanese netizen Kiro Kara said, “I think the emoji implies very complicated meanings. My dad will send it when he doesn’t agree with someone but he has to say something and behave politely.”

● Addition to Domestic Social Media

Compared with Japanese impressions of the “funny” emoji, Chinese netizens prefer to use the emoji to tease one another on social media.

One commonly seen online comment is, “We strongly suggest stopping the usage of the emoji. Because every time other people send me the emoji, I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool.”

Regarded as the most popular emoji, the “funny” emoji has received much attention since its release in 2013. In fact, the “funny” emoji is the updated version of its original one; “funny” has a smiley mouth, two eyebrows and a naughty look. All these characteristics present users a sense of satire(讽刺).

● In Everyday UseAbroad

It’s not the first time the Chinese emoji takes the world stage. Earlier this year, one emoji from the Chinese basketball celebrity Yao Ming has been spread through the Middle East region. In a city in southern Egypt, Yao’s smiling emoji has appeared frequently in local traffic signs to remind people the road ahead is one-way. Many locals do not know Yao Ming but are familiar with his emoji and nickname “Chinese Funny Face”.

As a new online language, emojis have become a necessary part of people’s daily life, helping people express their views in a more vivid and precise way. Also, it can help foreigners learn about Chinese culture. But how to properly use “the fifth innovation in China” without hurting others and turn them into commercial advantages still need answers.

1.Why do the bolsters attract Miki’s attention?

A.They are inexpensive.

B.They help reach an agreement.

C.They help brighten the mood.

D.They are helpful to express desire.

2.According to the passage, which of the following is the latest “funny” emoji?

Mars on Earth

Devon Island has always been a cold and uninhabited(无人居住的) place in the Canadian Arctic. Day after day there are high winds and the temperature is below freezing. But for the first time, despite the terrible weather conditions, Devon Island is the new home for a group of explorers from NASA. They are living here for a few months in order to train and learn how to live and work on Mars. The group’s members come from various backgrounds and nationalities, but they all have the same purpose: to find out how people can live on Mars in the future.

They have chosen Devon Island because the environment and landscape is similar in many ways to Mars. The surface is freezing cold and the ground is rough. However, there are some differences on Mars, where the atmosphere is poisonous to breathe. Devon Island is easier to travel to and it has its own dangers that you won’t find on Mars. For example, you might meet a hungry polar bear on Devon Island!

One thing the team wants to develop is suitable clothing for Mars. This includes a space suit. The suit they are testing at the moment is strong enough but it’s too difficult to put on and take off. It’s very big and bulky, which means that just walking around is very difficult and tiring. In addition, people will need to do experiments on Mars while wearing the suit so they have to be able to move around easily. One team member, Andy Overbeeke, specializes in space suit engineering. He explains, “You have to think about what they’re really going to operate in.”

Another part of daily life on Mars will be meals and food. Creating a new home on Mars requires a lot of food. So the big question is: can you grow plants in order to survive? Scientists believe that growing plants on Mars might be possible. Mars and Earth have many similarities. They both have about the same amount of dry land and a 24-hour day. However, the atmosphere on Mars is totally different, so Canadian scientist Alain Berinstain is attempting to grow plants in a special greenhouse that you could also build on Mars. The greenhouse needs to run 365 days a year, so it uses a combination of solar energy and wind power.

People living on Mars will also want their own transportation. For this, the team on Devon Island have built the “Martian Rover”. It’s a huge heavy vehicle that can travel over rocks and rough terrain. This kind of testing takes many days but so far the work has been valuable and effective. As a result, the whole team now believes their work is crucial and that it’s possible for humans to land on the planet Mars and create a home there. Addy Overbeeke adds: “We know that it’s man’s destiny to go out and do space exploration. It’s always time to think about what you want to do in the future.”

1.The explorers are living on Devon Island to ________.

A.receive a training in astronomy

B.set up an advanced research lab

C.learn how to live and work on Mars

D.make a living in an uninhabited land

2.To keep food supply on Mars, people should ________.

A.create a new home

B.improve the atmosphere

C.build special greenhouses

D.reduce the area of dry land

3.According to the passage, we know that ________.

My daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up to situations’ and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants, “Girls rule, boys drool.” But when that comfort zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.

This has been challenging for me at times. “Shy”’ is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been a year of firsts for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon (三项全能).

On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming soon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she’d need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me a few too many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.

And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my heart soared. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated that swim, crushed that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.

I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.

All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.

Shine on, sweet baby.

A. boys are around her B. she changes into a leader

—Captain at a major airline

If you're a nervous flier, book a morning flight．

The heating of the ground later causes bumpier （颠簸的） air, and it's much more likely to thunderstorm in the afternoon．

—Jerry Johnson , pilot, Los Angeles

The smoothest place to sit is often over or near the wing．

The bumpiest place to sit is in the back．If you're in the middle, you don't move as much．

—Patrick Smith, pilot, and author of Cockpit Confidential

Sit in the front if you want fresher air．

The general flow of air in any airplane is from front to back．So if you're really concerned about breathing the freshest possible air or not getting too hot, sit as close to the front as you can．Planes are generally warmest in the back．

—Tech pilot at a regional airline, Texas

You never know where the safest seat is．

There is no safest place to sit．In one accident, the people in the back are dead; in the next, it's the people up front．

—John Nance, aviation safety analyst and retired airline captain, Seattle

I've been struck by lightning twice．

Most pilots have．Airplanes are built to take it．You hear a big boom and see a big flash and that's it．You're not going to fall out of the sky．

—Charlotte, pilot for a regional earner,．North Carolina

People don't understand why they can't use their cell phones．

Well, what can happen is 12 people will decide to call someone just before landing, and I can get a false reading on my instruments saying that we are higher than we ideally are．

_______, one of the boys was quick-minded, gasped my son, and _________him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was in not enough _______to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.

After he ____________from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容) for 6 months ____________it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling. So, he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.

When I was a child, my mother told my sister who had a 10-inch very ____________scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not__________it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”

I__________this wisdom on to my son. He took my advice to____________and returned to school with his head held high－glad he was alive. By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not____________, so he made the____________to give up any plastic surgery.
