B: Yes, that’s right. The doctor warned me about the the sleeping trouble might have on me. He gave me some medicine and told me to count numbers in bed if I failed to go to sleep.

Once upon a time, a young man came across a spring(泉水) of clear water while crossing the desert. The water was very sweet, and he filled his leather container(皮革容器) so that he could bring some to his teacher. After a four-day journey, he presented the water to his teacher.
The old man took a deep drink, smiled and thanked his
student very much for the sweet water. The young man returned to his village with a happy heart. After a while, the teacher let astudent taste the water. He spat (吐) it out, saying it was terrible. It was clear that the water had become no longer fresh sweet because of the old leather container. The student questioned his teacher, “Master, the water tasted strange. Why did you still like it?” The teacher replied, “You tasted the water while I tasted the gift. The water was the container for an act of love and kindness and nothing could be  .”
After reading the story, we can understand that when we receive a chocolate as a gift from a child, we get more than the chocolate. What we should do properly is to express    naturally to him or her because we love the idea within the gift.
Gratitude (感谢) doesn’t always come  naturally.  , most children and many grown-ups like only the thing given rather than the shown in it. We should remind ourselves and teach our children about the beauty of feelings and  of gratitude. After all, gifts from the heart are really gifts of the heart.

Have you ever taken photos by using mobile phones with selfie sticks(自拍杆)?  

However, a pair of US artists from New Mexico, Arie Snee and Justin Crowe believe they have invented a better one and they call it “selfie arm”.
It makes those people in the pictures seem to be holding hands with a loved one.
The pair say it offers a far better experience than using a straight stick. The selfie arm makes people feel they are not alone when they take photos.
They think their invention solves the main problem that the selfie stick has — people look alone while they are taking pictures of themselves with great interests. The product, at present, just an art project and a model conveniently provides you a welcoming arm.  The pair say they are fascinated by these new ideas.
The “selfie arm” is made of fiberglass.     The project that they work on shows the growing selfie stick.
Phenomenon (现象) directly and the increasing nee d for narcissism (自恋) and Internet agreement.

E．This new invention is a small, useful and cleverly-designedtool.
F．And better yet in the future, it’ll talk in a friendly way and never getangry orupset.

Have you ever noticed that you seem to learn faster in certain classes but slowly in others? Maybe you think it’s because of the different difficulties of subjects, but the real reason is that our learning types are different.
Now, you may wonder what a learning type is and how to find yours.
There are mainly three different learning types: Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic. You can be a combination(混合) of learning types, but most people have one main type. Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily remember information from pictures, charts and videos, you are likely a visual learner. Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to remember things by hearing them, then you are likely an auditory learner.
Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands or testing out what you are shown, you are likely a kinesthetic learner.
So now that you know your personal learning style, the trick is to find out how to use your new-found knowledge to help you  in your classes.
Tips for Visual Learners
＊Pay attention! For visual learners, this is very important! If yourteacher uses a PowerPoint, watch the pictures carefully and find out whatthey might include and their hiddenmeanings.
＊Take notes by drawing charts and connecting ideas instead of justcopying
down a list. This way, your brain will easily connect thedifferent concepts(概念). You can even draw pictures if you find that worksbetter foryou.
＊Mark your notes or your note cards in different colors. This will helpyour
brain in keeping all of the information separate. Different colorsshow different types of information orimportance.
＊Download the PowerPoint if your teacher puts it on QQ. This way, youcanreview them before anexam.
Tips for Auditory Learners
＊Again, pay attention! If you aren’t listening while the lecture ishappening, then as an auditory learner, you’re missing the easiest way for you tolearn.
＊If your teacher allows you to record the lecture, record it forfuture
listening.
＊If you find that taking notes stops you from listening, ask a friend ifyou can borrow his or her notes or write down everything you rememberright after thelesson.
Tips for Kinesthetic Learners
＊The first point is paying attention once again! For kinesthetic learners,it’s especially important to take notes either by writing or typing, in orderto actively get information as you receiveit.
＊Make use of laboratories and other class activities. Focus on whatyou’re
learning from the experience and pay close attention to the processthatyou gothrough.
＊Visualize! That is to imagine yourself picking up information and puttingit into a category(类别). This may sound silly, but in this way you’re“doing” something without actually physically doingit.
＊Rewrite notes and reread information. Try to translate the informationinto examples. This can help kinesthetic learners remember what they needto know.
