In our life, we often regret what we did and which we couldn’t do. Actually, it doesn’t benefit us at all. As for most of us, we missed many chance to earn more money, to get a high position and to realize our dreams. We often regret that we don’t seize those opportunities, thus feel upset. Although we do know regretting the Past is no benefit, but we still can’t help doing it

To avoid the problem below, we need to pay more attention to what you are doing now, making us busier and having no time to recall the past. Moreover, we’d better set reasonably goals one by one. Only by doing so can we struggle for our future better.

Owls(猫头鹰) are mysterious creatures. We often think of them as scary. They sometimes live in abandoned houses. They fly without a sound through backyards at night. In stories, they appear with ghosts. When we hear an owl's familiar “wh?ooo...whooo...”,it can make us feel very frightened. Owls fly silently, without even a whisper of wings moving through the air. It's as though they appear out of nowhere—like ghosts on wings. Owls fly and hunt on the darkest of nights. An owl's night habits make it unique. Do these creatures of the night possess strange powers?

Owls possess unusual powers of sight and hearing, but they are not supernatural powers. They are natural adaptations that let them live most efficiently(高效地) at night. There is no reason to fear owls. Their habits make them helpful to humans. By hunting mice and other rodents(啮齿目动物),owls help to keep a natural balance between plant and animal life. Without owls, there would be a large number of rodents in farmers' fields and storage barns.

More than 100 species of owls occupy a variety of habitats around the world. A few oceanic islands and the Antarctic have no owls. The world's owls come in different sizes. For example, the Eurasian eagle owl—one of the largest—has a body that is two to three feet long, with a wingspan(翼展) of up to five and one?half feet. The North American elf owl (the world's smallest owl) is five to six inches long and has a wingspan that measures slightly more than one foot.

Most male and female owls of the same species look alike, although females are usually larger. In some species, the female's colors are like those of the trees or grass where she makes her nest.

Baby owls, called chicks, stay with their parents until they are about three months old. They soon find their own hunting areas, where they may stay for the rest of their lives. Some owls can live 20 years or more.

1.Most people regard owls as________.

A.clever B.hard?working C.shy D.terrifying

2.Owls help humans in that they________.

A.frighten rodents away from humans

B.help preserve the balance of nature

C.have unusual powers

D.help guard backyards

3.What is special about owls?

A.They fly silently.

B.They are night hunters.

C.They possess supernatural powers.

D.They can be found around the world.

They Just Can't Help It My theory is that the female brain is mainly built for empathy — the ability to understand other people — and that the male brain is mainly built for building systems.____ For example,women are more likely to read magazines on fashion and parenting,while men will choose magazines that feature computers and sport.

You may think that these preferences are influenced by the way people are taught to behave when they are growing up.However,this is not the case.A new study carried out at Cambridge University shows that newborn girls look longer at a face,and newborn boys look longer at a mobile.1.____ It has also been observed (that girls are better at noticing signs of changes in other people's feelings.Boys,however,seem to enjoy building toy towers and playing with toys which have clear functions.2.____ People whose jobs are in the construction industries are almost male.Math and engineering,which require high levels of systems-thinking,are also male-chosen disciplines.Why do men and women have the difference? Actually women have four times as many brain neurons (神经) that connect the right and left part of their brains.Because of it,women have a better ability to multitask than men.3.____ Men tend to focus on a limited number of problems at a time.They will separate themselves from problems and view tasks as independent from one another.

Some people may worry that I am suggesting one gender (性别) is better than the other,but this is not the case.My theory says that males and females differ in the kinds of things that they find easy,but that both genders have their strengths and weaknesses._4._ It is not true.The study simply looks at males and females as two groups,and asks what differences exist,and why they are there.

A.Generally speaking,there are clear differences.

B.Their preference for building systems may change over time.

C.You can see the same kind of pattern in the adult workplace.

D.They will consider many sources of information at the same time.

E.It is important to stress that the female brain may be built more for empathy.

F.That suggests certain differences between male and female brains are biological.

G.Others may think the theory creates a belief of what a particular type of person is like.

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?

Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work. 1. What they look for is your presence — to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express her worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.

Help them get organized. 2. Together , you and your teen can work out a time—table in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.

Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best. 3. If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.

4. Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and /or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.

Show a positive attitude. 5. Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.

A. A parent’s attitude will affect their teen’s emotions.

B. Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite.

C. They will only make the situation worse.

D. Encourage your teen to relax.

E. The best thing is simply to listen.
