Everyone, from homeless people to billionaires, is likely to be influenced by stress; there’s simply no way to avoid it.1.Here are five powerful tips for ways to kill stress in almost any situation.
Eat Healthier
Though a lot of stress is psychological, there are also plenty of physical factors that lead to this natural human response to noticed danger. In order to relieve stress, make sure you’re treating your body right. A big part of this is eating healthier.2.Anyway, adopting an alkaline(碱性的) diet instead of an acidic(酸性的) one is recommended.
Wake Up Earlier
3.However, waking up 15 or 20 minutes earlier each morning may have more benefits than sleeping in. By giving yourself some extra time, you won’t feel quite rushed in the morning, which leads to better preparation and more confidence.
4.
Since you are never going to remove 100 percent of the stress in your life, one of the best things you can do is let it be one of your motivations. This is what stress is designed to do, after all. The psychological and physical reactions brought on by stress are supposed to heighten our senses and empower us to fight off a threat.
Watch a Funny Video
Here is a simple and practical tip: watch a funny video on YouTube. Research shows that seeing something amusing activates the part of the brain that produces calm physiological(生理的) responses. This can lead to less anxiety and more happiness.
Take Walk Outside
Whenever possible, make sure you take your walk outdoors.5.It can improve energy levels and memory by as much as 20 percent.
A. A number of studies show that spending time in the open is a great way to relieve stress.
B. Diet and relaxation are two important keys to good health.
C. There are no magic “anti-stress” foods.
D. However, there are ways to reduce the amount of stress you suffer from.
E. Keep Positive Relationships
F. Let Stress Motivate You
G. It is certainly true that the more sleep you get, the less stressed you’ll be.

I’m seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them and carried things to their cars. It was hard work.
While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said, "Mr. Castle, how are you?" We talked about this and that. As he left, he said, "It was nice talking to you, Brett." I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh, no. He didn’t remember me at all. He just read the name plate. I wish I had put "Irving" down on my name plate. If he’d have said, "Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?" I’d have been ready for him. There’s nothing personal here.
The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was: you couldn’t accept tips. Okay, I’m outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction is to take a quarter and give it to me. I’d say, "I’m sorry, I can’t." They’d get angry. When you give someone a tip, you’re sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say, "Oh, thanks a lot." When you say, "I’m sorry, I can’t." they feel a little put down. They say, "No one will know." And they put it in your pocket. You say, "I really can’t."
It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the store’s belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldn’t understand the strangeness of some people’s ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.
I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.
1.What can be the best title for this text?
A. The Art of Taking Tips
B. Why I Gave up My Job
C. How Hard Life Is for Box Boys
D. Getting along with Customers
2.From the second paragraph, we can infer that ________.
A. the writer didn’t like the impersonal part of his job
B. Mr. Castle mistook Irving for Brett
C. with a name plate, people can easily start talking
D. Irving was the writer’s real name
3.The box boy refused to accept tips because ________.
A. customers only gave small tips
B. he didn’t want to fight with the customers
C. the store didn’t allow the box boys to take tips
D. some customers had strange ideas about tipping
4.The underlined phrase "put down" in the third paragraph probably means ________.
A. misunderstood B. defeated
C. hateful D. hurt

On 8th March this year, events marking International Women’s Day (IWD) were held in many countries around the world. In most countries the events have a political tone: they tend to celebrate the advances women have made towards economic, social and political equality with men, and to press for change in those areas of life where there is still progress to be made.
In other countries, meanwhile, 8th March is traditionally more about expressing an appreciation of women: it is a day on which men give presents to their wives, girlfriends and mothers, and it therefore has some similarities with St Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.
Back in 1911, the first IWD events in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland were certainly political. They were protests by women against forms of gender discrimination that would now be unthinkable in most parts of the world: almost nowhere were women allowed to vote, and Finland was the only country with any female members of a national parliament. The general expectation worldwide, across different continents and cultures, was that women would spend their lives largely in the home, devoting themselves to looking after their husbands and children. The rate of women who had paid employment was far lower than today, and when women did go out to work they typically earned very little, meaning they were economically dependent on men.
A century later, gender inequality in employment—particularly pay inequality—is still one of the hottest issues IWD tries to draw attention to: it remains common, of course, for women to earn less than men for doing exactly the same job.
Limited educational opportunities (there are many countries in which girls generally stay fewer years in school than boys) and domestic violence towards women have also been highlighted by events surrounding IWD in recent years.
And yet, as the IWD website notes, ______________________. As just one example, to return to the issue of women elected to office, the change over the last hundred years has been significant. Since 1911, when the small group of women in the Finnish parliament (nineteen of them, to be exact) were the only females in public office worldwide, the governments of more than fifty different countries have been led by women. In 2011, at least one country in every continent has a female leader, including high-profile examples such as Brazil (Dilma Rousseff), Germany (Angela Merkel) and Australia (Julia Gillard).
1.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. 100 years ago, women were not allowed to work outside.
B. IWD is equal to St Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day in some countries.
C. Finland was the first country with female employment.
D. Pay inequality is a hot issue for IWD.
2.Which word below is closest in meaning to the phrase “press for” in Paragraph 1?
A. prevent B. urge C. express D. want
3.Which of the following is the missing sentence in the first line of the last paragraph?
A. distinctive differences do exist between men and women
B. the achievements are beyond people’s expectations
C. there’s still a long way to go to achieve the set goals
D. alongside the ‘negatives’ there are plenty of ‘positives’
4.We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A. the progress in gaining equality in the last century seems to be too slow
B. the concept of equal pay for equal work is completely accepted in practice
C. much has been achieved in gender equality, but still there is space for improvement
D. one or two female leaders can’t stand for women’s social status on the whole

In many American military actions,American soldiers always served with honor,especially black Americans. Even though black men almost had to beg to be allowed to serve in the Revolutionary War,they went on to serve well.Two back men,Oliver Cromwell and Prince Whipple,were with Washington when he crossed the Delaware on Christmas Day,1776,to attack the British at Trenton.A black man named Estabrook captured the Royal Army’s general Prescott Newport, and Peter Salem,a black,killed Major Pitcairn as he was savoring his expected victory at Bunker Hill.
Even though they were forced to serve in separated units,black soldiers distinguished themselves in battle.This was despite the fact that whites had long believed that blacks could neither command nor use firearms.In 1863, William Came of the Massachusetts Colored Infantry(步兵)received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his role in battles with the Plains Indians.Isaiah Dorman, Coster’s back scout (侦查员), served and died at the Little Big Horn in 1876.

How to talk to your child about a future career
Thinking about a future career can bring a lot of stress. 1. This cuts up the question into workable issues that you and your child can enjoy dealing with throughout their childhood years. Here’s how:
●In your child’s life, there are times when they are given the opportunity to see and/or discuss a certain career. Schools have Career Day, an aunt or uncle talks about what they do for a living or your child’s youth group goes on a trip to a hospital and talks to the staff there. 2.
●When your child shows interest in a certain career, you should do some research. Then, you can offer your child some information on that job and related jobs. 3. It is a wonderful free online resource.
●Help your child weigh the pros and cons for his or her different career interests. Encourage your child to narrow(缩小) the choices down to five at the most.
●4. This is a good time to begin ordering in college and technical school lists. Use the lists and any other information you have found as an ice breaker for more conversations with your child.
●5. Make this a clear message. Teach your child that part of being independent is knowing when and who to lead on, trust and respect.
A. Do you feel you have open communication with your child?

G. Parents need to learn to help their child conquer this great question by dropping seeds of conversation as time goes by and watch them grow into ideas.
