'Off we go!'cried Mr Wonka.'Hurry up,everybody!Follow me to the next room! And please don't worry about Augustus Gloop.He's bound to come out in the wash.They always do.We shall have to make the next part of the journey by boat!Here she comes!Look!'
A steamy mist was rising up now from the great warm chocolate river,and out of the mist there appeared suddenly a most fantastic pink boat.It was a large open row boat with a tall front and a tall back (like a Viking boat of old),and it was of such a shining sparkling glistening pink colour that the whole thing looked as though it were made of bright,pink glass.There were many oars(桨)on either side of it,and as the boat came closer,the watchers on the riverbank could see that the oars were being pulled by masses of Oompa-Loompas—at least ten of them to each oar.
'This is my private yacht!'cried Mr Wonka,beaming with pleasure.'I made her by hollowing out an enormous boiled sweet!Isn't she beautiful!See how she comes cutting through the river!'The gleaming pink boiled-sweet boat glided up to the riverbank.One hundred Oompa-Loompas rested on their oars and stared up at the visitors.Then suddenly,for some reason best known to themselves,they all burst into shrieks of laughter.
'What's so funny?'asked Violet Beauregarde,a girl who was chewing gum.
'Oh,don't worry about them!'cried Mr Wonka.'They're always laughing!They think everything's a colossal joke! Jump into the boat,all of you!Come on!Hurry up!'
As soon as everyone was safely in,the Oompa-Loompas pushed the boat away from the bank and began to row swiftly downriver.
'Hey,there!Mike Teavee!'shouted Mr Wonka.'Please do not lick the boat with your tongue!It'll only make it sticky!'
'Daddy,'said Veruca Salt,'I want a boat like this!I want you to buy me a big pink boiled-sweet boat exactly like Mr Wonka's!And I want lots of Oompa-Loompas to row me about,and I want a chocolate river and I want...I want...'
'She wants a good kick in the pants,'whispered Grandpa Joe to Charlie.The old man was sitting in the back of the boat and little Charlie Bucket was right beside him.Charlie was holding tightly on to his grandfather's bony old hand.He was in a whirl of excitement.Everything that he had seen so far—the great chocolate river,the waterfall,the huge sucking pipes,the minty sugar meadows,the Oompa-Loompas,the beautiful pink boat,and most of all,Mr Willy Wonka himself—had been so astonishing that he began to wonder whether there could possibly be any more astonishments left.Where were they going now?What were they going to see?And what in the world was going to happen in the next room?
'Isn't it marvellous?'said Grandpa Joe,grinning at Charlie.Charlie nodded and smiled up at the old man.
Suddenly,Mr Wonka,who was sitting on Charlie's other side,reached down into the bottom of the boat,picked up a large mug,dipped it into the river,filled it with chocolate,and handed it to Charlie.'Drink this,'he said.'It'll do you good!You look starved to death!'Then Mr Wonka filled a second mug and gave it to Grandpa Joe.'You,too,'he said. 'You look like a skeleton!What's the matter?Hasn't there been anything to eat in your house recently?'
'Not much,' said Grandpa Joe.
Charlie put the mug to his lips,and as the rich warm creamy chocolate ran down his throat into his empty tummy,his whole body from head to toe began to tingle with pleasure,and a feeling of intense happiness spread over him.

Some Ways to Have an Amazing Day
Here are a few tips for making sure you can answer the pop quiz of life confidently:
Be kind.
1. How often do you stop to talk to the people you encounter every day? Do you know the names of the people at the bank, the grocery store, or restaurant? One great way to get more out of your day is to fill it with people you know. The best way to know more people is to be kind to everyone you meet. Take a moment to learn a little about them.
2.
I avoided saying “Stay Busy” because sometimes we can fill our day with meaningless activities and feel busy but then at the end of the day we look back and realize we accomplished nothing. A great way to stay productive is to look at the things you would like to accomplish today, this week, this month, etc. and then plan some time to work on each of them.
Look for ways to serve.
I truly believe that giving meaningful service to other people is the greatest key to our personal happiness. It may be just a smile and a “hello”. 3. It may be just a phone call to tell them “thank you for being a friend.” When we serve other people, we develop personal joy.
Find a purpose.
The happiest people have one or more big “life goals”. 4. When we have a big goal that we feel passionate about we become more excited to work on that goal every day.
5. When you give yourself the pop quiz at the end of the day, you will be ready to say you did everything you
could.
A. Keep learning new things
B. Make the most of every day
C. Stay productive all the time
D. Try to do more in your everyday life
E. It may be helping them with their work
F. It has been said that you can measure a person by how they treat the people who can do nothing for them
G. It may be to run a marathon, write a book, start a business, develop a product or learn a new hobby or profession.

Body language is quiet, secret and most powerful language of all.
In fact, non-verbal communication takes up about fifty percent of what we usually mean. And body language is especially important, when we try to communicate across cultures.
Indeed, what is called body language is so much a part of us that it’s actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings happen as a result of it. For example, different cultures treat the distance between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact, even with friends. And certainly not with strangers. People from the Latin American countries, on the other hand, touch each other quite a lot. So it’s possible that in conversation it may look like a Latino is following a Norwegian (挪威人)all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving closer. The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as rude behavior, will keep backing away, which the Latino will in return regarded as coldness.
Obviously, a great deal is going on when people talk. And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from different cultures, there’s a strong possibility of misunderstanding. But whatever the situation is, the best advice is to obey the golden rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated.
1.You may find the passage in _____.
A. a science magazine B. a guide book
C. a sports newspaper D. a story book
2.The underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refers to _____.
A. the Norwegian keeps moving closer
B. the Latino follows the Norwegian
C. the Norwegian keeps backing away
D. the Latino’s way of expressing friendship
3.Misunderstanding of body languages always happens because of the _____.
A. languages B. friends
C. cultures D. countries
4.Which of the following is true?
A. People around the world have the same body languages.
B. Body language takes up about 50% of our communication.
C. Body language is the most important in our communication.
D. Body language is important when trying to communicate across cultures
5.If a foreign friend gives a hug to you, you should_____.
A. shake hands with him B. give him a hug
C. refuse him D. kiss him

Maybe you have ever seen a cross. A cross can be a piece of jewelry or an image in
a painting. But do you know the cross is a very popular symbol for Christmas?
It came from the story of Jesus’ death on the cross two thousand years ago in Jerusalem. Jesus was Jewish,and at that time Jewish people were under Roman rule. Jesus was badly punished because he declared to be the Son of God and the King of Jews. Surely,the Son of God could have saved himself from the death!But the Bible says that Jesus had a reason to die that day. It was in God’s purpose that it would happen.[
Christians call the day that Jesus died “Good Friday”. At first,it is hard to understand how a terrible day could ever be called good. Well,the story does not end there. Jesus died and he was buried. But three days later,Jesus was alive,and the whole world was changed.
Today,Christians everywhere remember this important time. They celebrate Easter. Easter is the day that Jesus rose from the dead. After his death on the cross,Jesus’ body was placed in a tomb. On the third day from then,God raised him from the dead. Jesus stayed on earth physically for several weeks. Many people saw him. Easter is the happiest time of year for Christians because they believe that Jesus had victory over death and evil and that now he lives with God the Father in heaven. But before celebrating Easter, Good Friday should be remembered. Jesus died a horrible and painful death. He suffered, though he did nothing wrong. Christian believe that Jesus was God’s substitute(代表) for humans, because humans all do wrong. He died because of humans and he died for humans.
Christians often wear crossed around their necks of hang them in their homes because they believe it is a very important sign. The cross helps them remember how much God loves them.
