【题目】Over 40 years ago, a country music DJ convention(大会) was held every year in Nashville, Tennessee. Many country performers used to attend the convention to give their performances. Fans would go to Nashville hoping to see their favorite performers. In the end, so many fans began showing up in Nashville that a festival named Fan Fair was born.

The first Fan Fair was held in April 1972, in Nashville for four days. Some of the country music’s biggest stars attented. There were about fifty thousand fans. The first Fan Fair was so successful that planning began almost immediately for 1973. The date was changed to June, when the weather would be better. Over one hundred thousand fans attended the second Fan Fair.

Every year brought so many performers and fans to Fan Fair that, in 1982, it was moved to the Tennessee State Fairgrounds. Fan Fair stayed at the fairgrounds for another nineteen years.

There was always the unexpected during the festival. In 1974, former Beatle Paul McCartney attended. In 1992, more than six hundred reporters cover the appearance of a popular star, Billy ray Cyrus, who had introduced a new country line dance. In 1996, Garth Brooks, who made a surprise appearance, signed autographs(签名) for 23 hours.

In 2001, Fan Fair returned to downtown Nashville as the world’s biggest country music festival. Now, over one hundred and twenty-five thousand country music fans go to Nashville every June.

How Can I Fight Laziness?

Lazy people will never achieve anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.

【1】 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.

Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 2

Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 3 Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.

Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 4 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practise laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.

5 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

A. To fight family laziness, set an example.

B. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.

C. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.

D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.

E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.

F. Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.

G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for the children.

It was a busy day at the grocery store and the old couples were in line behind me with birthday balloons.

They were chatting together about their rush to get ready for the party. From1they said, I knew their nephew had a twin and something bad happened to the baby at birth. Though they did all they could2(help) them but times were still tough for them.

They seemed to be too nervous and were too3(anxiety) to leave, so I asked4they wanted to go ahead of me or not. They didn’t understand what I5(mean) at first. After knowing it, they were very appreciative. But they stood behind me.

At that time I knew it had to be a significant day to them. Nothing could be6(good) if someone offered to help them. So I told the cashier to add the balloons to my purchases. The old couples refused at first7I insisted. I said, “You tell your sweet nephew that there are always nice people who want to give them8hand in this world.” They thanked me over and over and the cashier got teary-eyed,9(say) there was an angel in her line today.

There are times in life when things don’t go as expected. Perhaps an important project of yours ended up in failure. Or you got laid off from your job. Whatever it is, it might make you depressed. But you need to get things back under control. You need to keep moving forward. 【1】 . In this way, you can face the situation with a positive attitude. How to Feel Better?Here are some tips to make yourself feel better when you’re depressed:

1. Calm down

Before anything else, calm yourself down. Don’t panic.2 . You can only apply the tips below if you are calm.

2. 3

When you’re depressed, it’s easy to fall into a cycle of negative thoughts, which makes things look worse than they actually are. It’s important that you break this cycle so that you don’t become a victim of your own thoughts. You may read spiritual texts, motivational books, or inspiring quotes. You may also listen to positive tapes.

3. Remember good things

Our minds tend to focus on the negative and not the positive.4 . Remember the good things in your life. Remember the good people around you.

4. Forgive

Sometimes one reason you feel bad is because you don’t forgive. Perhaps you had made mistakes in the past and you blamed yourself for it. You need to forgive yourself. Or perhaps someone mistreated you. 5 . I know it’s easier said than done, but as Mahatma Gandhi said: The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness /span>is the attribute of the strong.

So let us all be strong.

A. You apologized for it.

B. You need to forgive them.

C. You need to make yourself feel better.

D. Close your eyes and take a deep breath.

E. But you should direct your mind to the positive.

F. Feed your mind with positive thoughts.

G. Say something positive.
