[1]Many people complain about their work day by day, however, we have some suggestions for you. Just keep all these in mind, and you are sure to feel happier than before.
[2]☆People Need You. There's always someone who relies on you, no matter what type of work you do. The public rely on the toilet cleaners to keep the toilets fresh. The public rely on the trash men to remove their unwanted garbage. So recognize that there are always those who need you to do a good job. Please don't let them down.
[3]☆Plan Out Your Day. Often, we'll find a day disappears as quickly as it arrives because we get bogged down with minor chores and emergencies that keep appearing. These minor fires mean we don't get to tackle the much bigger fires, which would give us a lot more satisfaction.
[4]What's the best way to deal with this? Plan out your day. At the end of your shift, decide what “major fires” need putting out tomorrow. Plan out when you'll tackle these major issues, and then stick to that plan no matter what little embers may pop up.
[5]☆Do something different. Consistency is a good thing to have at work. But what isn't good to have is the same routine, day after day. It drags you down, it makes you tired early in the day, and it kills any motivation you have for the job.
[6]Do something different! Step out of your routine and take a fresh look at things. Inject some variety into your days, even if it's something as simple as taking a different route to work.
[7]☆______________. It amazes me sometimes how little some people actually know about their work colleagues. Your colleagues are not robots. They're other human beings too, breathing and talking and trying to make a living, just like you. So treat them as human beings. Get to know them a bit better each day by asking a different question, or by starting a new topic. Share experiences with them, and they'll realize that you're human too, and that it's OK to talk with each other about something other than work.What is this passage mainly about?

11-year-old Courtney Thompson was so passionate about gymnastics that she would practice five hours a day until her arms were sore and her elbows swollen．She rarely complained about her tough schedule，and for good reason．Courtney was ranked the best gymnast in the State for her age，and she dreamed of going to the Olympics．But on January 12th，2005，while practicing a routine exercise，she felt an unbearable pain in the left elbow．The medical examination then revealed a severe injury，resulting in an immediate surgery and a slow，painful recovery．
What happened to Courtney Thompson is a red flag in America's growing epidemic of youth sports injuries．Across the country，younger and younger athletes are injuring themselves in the pursuit of sports achievement．The U．S．Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that 2.8 million Americans aged 5 through 24 received medical treatment for a sports-related or recreation-related injury in 2003．Severe injuries that used to be limited to professionals are now showing up in high school and even junior high athletes．
There are many reasons behind the outbreak in sports injuries，hut most experts agree on one：the extreme culture of organized youth sports．Gone are the days when children played a variety of games on playgrounds．Child kidnapping and street crime have ended casual neighborhood athletics in many places，leading parents to enroll their children in organized sports under the watchful， though demanding，eyes of adult volunteers and coaches．And movies like Friday Night Lights glorify the thrill of victory for young athletes with single-minded dedication to athletic achievement.
From high school gyms to county hall fields，41 million children younger than 19 participated in organized youth sports in 2005，according to the latest research by the National Council of Youth Sports. The figure represents a 25 percent increase since 1997．
Parental involvement 1”youth sports has also made childhood games less about having fun and more about training and competing for the top spot．1anding a college scholarship or launching a promising career Hoping to nurture the next Michelle Kwan or Apolo Ohno，some parents guide their children into specializing in one sport But the repetitive training required to master a sport places enormous stresses on hones and muscles that are still developing.
67．The passage is mainly about_________
A．children’s participation in organized sports
B．the main causes of the youth sports injuries

D．the common occurrence of youth sports injuries
68．The underlined part “Fed flag” in the second paragraph most probably means“_______”．

A．Because of their increasing fondness for sports．
B．Because children are not professional enough fur sports
C．Because more children are seeking for sports achievements．
D．Because of the involvement of the parents and more organized sports
70． We can learn from the passage that __________
A．about 10.25 million youngsters participated in organized sports in 1997
B．parents give limited chances for children to choose their sports
C．serious injuries often happened to young students in the past
D．courtney Thompson will never become a famous gymnast

Can you imagine a catfish bigger than a boy? There are more than 1，000 kinds of catfish；28 species are found in the United States' lakes and rivers． This huge family has some mighty strange members. Let's meet a few.
Walking catfish．Nature's feisty little catfish，found in southern Florida，has an extra lung for breathing on dry land. When its swimming hole dries up，the walking catfish waddles on stiff forward fins in search of another lake or stream．If an enemy attacks，the fish flares（展开）its top and front fins and leaps at the attacker to scare it off．
Armored catfish．This catfish has heavy，bony plates protecting its body. The shell makes the fish difficult to bone. To cook it，throw the fish whole into a fire. When it is done，break it open for eating．Some armored catfish are found in Florida，but the 100-pounders live in South America．
Rounding out the family of strange catfish are talking catfish，which make growing sound when you pull them from the water；climbing catfish，which move quickly up shore brush in search of food；electric catfish，which can deliver a mild shock；and blind catfish，which settle in the inky blackness of underwater caves．Blind catfish find food through taste buds in their eight whiskers（须）．
Most catfish have four whiskers on the upper jaw and four on the lower jaw. Sensory holes on these whiskers help the fish smell and taste food even in the muddiest of water．The United States does not have catfish anywhere near the size of those in South America．But in some large U.S，rivers，blue and flathead catties do top 100 pounds．
Most of the catfish you are likely to catch will be much smaller，about frying pan size．When you catch one，remember that the top fins and the forward fins have poison glands（腺）at their bases. They can give you painful wounds （…）

She hated her name so much that she prayed to god every night：Dear god，let me be born again. So I can have a name like Rita or Preeti．A short，smart one-word name.
On Tuesday，Ghagra Geeta Bali and her mother went for their usual shopping. There was a long queue of children just outside the record store．They went loser to look. It was yet another scheme to sell a few audio cassettes．Everyone who bought a cassette qualified for the scheme.
In this case，the artist whose songs were featured on the cassette was a young sensation called Malik Fafidabadi，a great favorite with teenagers. Ghagra Geeta Bali was no exception.
A friendly young man was writing down the names of the people who wanted to participate in the scheme．Out of this long list Malik would pick one name，and the chosen one would get to meet him．plus of course，win many freebies（赠品）.
But when her mother asked her to participate，Ghagra Geeta Bali said no. She didn't want to speak out her name in front of so many people and make herself the butt（笑料）of amusement. But mothers being mothers，she just went up to the man and told him in firm tones：“Please enter my daughter's name. It is Ghagra Geeta Bali.”
“It is what?” the man asked，naturally a little taken aback.
“G-h-a-g-r-a G-e-e-t-a B-a-l-i. There she is，”she replied while pointing to her daughter. The crowd standing around also turned to stare. All Ghagra Geeta Bali wanted then was for the earth to open up and swallow her.
That did not happen．But the following week she received a call．It was from the recording company that had announced the scheme. And they told her that she was the chosen one
“It is all because of your name，” said the public relations man who had called.“Mr Faridabadi took one look at it in the list and said that he couldn't wait to meet the brave girl bearing it．”

A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye.
One 36 , when the boy was around two, the husband saw an opened medicine bottle. It was 8:30 am and he was almost 37 for work, so he asked his wife to 38 the lid on the bottle and put it in the cupboard. Busy in the kitchen, the mother 39 forgot the matter. Seeing the bottle, the boy picked it up playfully and 40 the liquid in it. It was a medicine 41 for adults to be taken in small dosages （剂量）. When the boy fell down, the mother hurried him to a(n) 42 where he died. The mother was terrified. How could she 43 her husband?
When the heartbroken father returned and saw the dead son, he 44 his wife and said just four words. What do you think those four words were? The husband just said, “I 45 you, darling.”
The husband’s totally 46 reaction was positive. Their son could never be 47 back to life,so there was no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, this would not have happened 48 he had taken the time to put the bottle away.
The mother had also lost her only 49 . What she needed at that moment was 50 and sympathy from the husband. That is what he gave her.
Sometimes we spend time asking who is 51 , only to miss the opportunity to enjoy the 52 in human relationships we could receive by giving each other support. Why don’t we 53 someone we love for the “mistake” they didn’t make on purpose?
Treasure what you 54 , let go of all your anger, 55 to forgive, and selfishness and you will find fewer problems in the world.
