How to Stay Positive

There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle (奇迹). The other is as though everything is a miracle. If you choose to be positive, these ideas can be helpful.

? 1.

Who in your life seems filled with positivity? Who inspires and challenges you to up your game? Consciously build a network of people who motivate you to be your best, then spend your time with them. Be that source of light for others, too.

? Feed yourself with positivity.

2. Similarly, how you fuel yourself will determine your experience as well. Read inspiring books. Watch encouraging movies. Follow positive people on social media. You can also create a physical environment of positivity.

? Focus on what you can control.

So much is out of our hands, isn’t it?3. Determine what you can control and put your energy there. For example, you can control your responses, actions, words, and thoughts; you can be the change you wish to see in the world. You have more power than you realize. 4.

? Watch your vocabulary.

Mother Teresa declined participation in an anti-war meet. When asked why, she replied that she did not want to give any attention to war, but she’d gladly participate in a pro-peace meet. 5. They can help you mend broken hearts and reach amazing goals.

Continue to feed that positive world—like Einstein said, living as though everything is a miracle—and watch life change accordingly.

A. Pay attention to your words.

B. Seek advice from positive and active people.

C. Surround yourself with positive people.

D. Focusing on that, however, can leave you feeling helpless.

E. And when you keep your focus there, that power expands.

F. Putting poor quality gas in your car will not help it run at best performance.

G. If you focus on that change, then everything will change for the better.

Love to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school? Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all — Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far-fetched (牵强的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.

Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.

All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.

American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2013, have seen similar results. In May 2014, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europe’s first test one, with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.

The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachers — it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.

1.According to the first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that ________.

A. they have to exchange desks with each other

B. they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seats

C. there are no seats for them to sit in class

D. the officials show no sympathy to them at all

2.According to the teachers, older students may not like stand-up desks because ________.

A. they are cleverer than younger students

B. they are easily tired of standing long

C. they have formed the habit of sitting

D. they do badly in class while standing

3.What is most likely to be the result of the seven-week trial?

A. The standing desks can’t be used at all.

B. It is good for students to use stand-up desks.

C. More tests should be done in other schools.

D. The students are different in personality.

4.Why do the teachers like the standing desks?

A. Because the educators can draw the students’ attention.

B. Because the teachers can keep the students healthy.

C. Because the students can have a walk in the classroom.

D. Because the standing desks can keep the students concentrated.

When I was seven years old and my sister were only four, our father was killed in an automobile accident just two week after his twenty-seventh birthday. Mom was heartbreaking. Although we were really so young to understand what was going on, but I knew life would never be quite the same. We had a nice home, plenty of that we needed, but we miss our father. About every evening we would go to our grandparents’ house for visit. My grandmother had begun working part-time at Kentucky Fried Chicken. His boss was a nice young man named Charles which got to know my mother and fell in love with her later.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Will you help old when he/she falls down on the street? A recently survey from our class meeting shows that eighty percent of the students think they are sure to help the old because of saving life is more important as anything else. Fifteen percent of the students says whether they help or not depends on the circumstances. However, five percent hold a view which the old shouldn’t be helped. First, they lack the knowledge of first aid, not know how to deal with the situation. Second, they are afraid of getting into trouble.

In my opinion, we should help each others, especially the old people. Please remember “respect the old” is one of our best tradition. Everyone will become old, and if such a case happens to you one day when we’re old, I will say I do need your help.

Thank you.

Homestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak English outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.

What to Expect

The host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.

Accommodation Zones

Homestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential (居住的). Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by Underground.

Meal Plans available

Continental Breakfast

Breakfast and Dinner

Breakfast, Packed Lunch and Dinner

It's important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.

Friends

If you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host's permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.

Self-Catering Accommodation in Private Homes

Accommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.

1.The passage is probably written for _______.

A. hosts willing to receive foreign students

B. foreigners hoping to build British culture

C. travellers planning to visit families in London

D. English learners applying to live in English homes

A. Free transport B. Medical care

C. Hosts dislike travelling to the city centre.

D. Accommodation in the city centre is not provided.

The ninth week of SEAL (Sea, Air, Land) training is referred to (意指) as Hell Week. It is six days of no sleep, physical and mental suffering and one special day at the Mud Flats (泥沼) where you will sink into the mud.

It is on Wednesday of Hell Week that we came down to the mud flats and spend the next 15 hours keeping alive in the freezing-cold mud, the cold wind and the strong pressure from the instructors to give up.

As the sun began to set that Wednesday evening, my training class, having broken some of the rules, was ordered into the mud. We sank into the mud until only our heads could be seen. The instructors told us we could leave the mud if only five men would give up — just five men and we could get out of the cold.

Looking around the mud flat, it was clear that some of us were about to give up. It was still over eight hours till the sun came up—eight more hours of coldness. Our cries were so loud that it was hard to hear anything. And then, one voice began to fly through the night—one voice raised in song.

The song sounded terrible, but it was sung with great power. One voice became two, and two became three, and before long everyone in the class was singing.

We knew that if one man could rise above the suffering then others could as well. The instructors warned us of more time in the mud if we kept up the singing—but the singing went on and on. And somehow, the mud seemed a little warmer, the wind a little weaker and the morning not so far away.

If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world, it is the power of hope. The power can change the world by giving people hope.

So, if you want to change the world, start singing when you’re up to your neck in mud.

1.What did the writer experience during Hell Week?

A. He suffered sleeplessness for one day. B. He was physically and mentally crazy.

C. He went through some hard tests. D. He sank into the mud for the week.

2.Why did the class have the experience at the Mud Flat?

A. Because they wanted to break the rules. B. Because the weather was terribly bad.

C. Because it was one of the training courses. D. Because the instructors were strict with them.

3.What did the class do when they were in the mud?

A. Five of them gave up. B. They cried all the time.

C. Someone sang from the beginning. D. Everybody joined in the singing.

4.What is probably the author’s job?

A. A terrorist. B. A soldier. C. An instructor. D. A trainer.

5.What does the writer want to tell us?

A. Singing helps change the world. B. Singing solves problems in life.

C. People should help each other. D. Hope helps pull through difficulties.
