A neighbor,Julie Brown,saw it all happen."The dog went onto an icy lake.All of a sudden,it started to go under.There were crowds of people around,and they were all shouting and screaming.Before I knew it,the owner Smith was in the water forcing his way through the ice.I can't begin to imagine how cold it was.Everyone was very nervous,but he was as cool as a cucumber﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣he just crawled back out,put the dog on its lead,and went home."
Many regard him as a hero,but Mr.Smith is quite laid﹣back about it."Most dog owners are the same as me.They would do what I did without a second thought.But in the future,I'm going to make sure he's on lead near any ice ponds,Pets are members of our family.Would you do the same for them?

Most of us have made an exercise plan, but only a few can follow it. WebMD(an American website) has listed the following tips for making exercise a habit in your life.
1. Do activities you enjoy.
Remember, there's no rule that says you have to go to a sports centre or buy equipment like swimming suits. Many types of activities, such as push﹣up(俯卧撑), can be done whenever it is rainy or snowy.
2. Exercise after work.
Don't go home first. Few people are so motivated(有动力的) that they will go out again and exercise after they go home and change clothes.
3. Exercise even when you are tired.
Tiredness is not an excuse. While exercising, you breathe deeply and your body makes better use of the oxygen exchange. Then, you will feel energetic.
4. Notice that you are better than before.
It's great when your clothes fit better, you can lift heavier things or take exercise longer. There's something good too, like getting a good night's sleep or thinking more clearly.
5. Walk with a pedometer(计步器)
Not everyone can start out with 10,000steps a day. Use a pedometer, and find out your daily steps. And then, try your best to walk 300extra steps each day. Finally, you can reach 10,000steps a day.

Is your life ruled by love or by fear?Love and fear are two opposite feelings that shape our life in very different ways.Most of us are controlled by both of them.However,even a tiny change towards love and away from fear can bring more happiness.Here are some suggestions towards love.
Cultivate Gratitude(培养感恩之心)
Gratitude makes us feel happier.If you remember to be thankful for the blessings(赐福)of your life,you will feel more connected to yourself and others.When you let worries go and have gratitude instead,love appears quickly.
Test the Reality of Fear
Sometimes fear can be like a cloud that keeps out the sunlight.A simple way to deal with fear is to test its reality.Write down three things that you're afraid of.Then look at each point and ask yourself, "Is this fear really grounded(基于)in reality?" I know when I do this,I often find that fears aren't reasonable.
Take Action
Taking action is the best way to control fear.For example,if you are not feeling well,but you don't go to a doctor,you may imagine that you are having a serious health problem.Once you've been to a doctor,talked about the problems and dealt with them one by one,your fear will become smaller and even disappear.

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don't give friendship back. That is why some friendships don't last very long.(1) You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous(慷慨的); be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another.If you don't tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest, you may lose your friend's trust.(2)
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don't have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, your hobbies and interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings.(3) They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve.(4) So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so you can understand the problem better.
(5) But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.
|
A. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. No two friendships are ever exactly alike. D. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. E. These can be valuable to a friend. F. Good friends always trust one another to speak and act honestly. |
Some people have found that they always spend much more on travelling than planned. Here is how it happens:
1. Preparing too much before travelling
Some people, especially females, like to travel as if starting a new life. Several weeks before the trip, they would be busy shopping for new dresses, better sunglasses and best﹣selling books. They would rather fill their travelling bags up with all fashionable things. Just travelling? Attending a fashion show more like it. They care more about their appearance than the sights they see during the trip.
2. Following other travellers blindly
They can't stop shopping for objects they would never normally buy and would certainly never use. For example, we can find a group of travellers "getting ahead" to buy "Christmas" presents even in summer.
3. Replacing things that are forgotten to bring
They don't remember to bring things like trainers, cool bags, toothbrushes or beach towels. The towels sold near beaches are nearly the price of gold leaves. They spend a lot on those things. However, plenty of new towels are sleeping in their bathroom at home.

People usually find themselves poorer than they planned after a holiday trip. There are mainly three (1) . Firstly, some female travellers consider a journey as attending a fashion show. How they look seems more (2) than what they see, so they spend more money on something new. Secondly, some people follow others without (3) . When others do some shopping, they can't (4) themselves. Thirdly, goods for daily use at tourist attractions aren't as (5) as those back home. As a result, they may spend more than they thought.
It is necessary to learn how to communicate with people from other cultures to build good relationships with them. Here are some rules.
Learn about the culture first. (1) Before meeting with someone from another culture, try to take time to learn the basic "dos and don'ts" of that culture.
(2) Each culture has its own values, beliefs and prejudices. You shouldn't judge people based on these differences. Instead, respect them for what they are. You may even learn something new.
Speak clearly and slowly. Don't shout at others. Raising your voice doesn't make you easier to understand. (3) Communication difficulties lie in cultural differences, not because of intelligence.
Understand rules about touching. Some cultures may expect more physical contact(接触) between people. For example, some cultures may shake or touch hands more readily than others. (4)
|
A.Do not treat other people as if they are silly. B.A little knowledge can be helpful. C.Show respect for the culture. D.So don't take it as impolite. |

Recent years have witnessed the returning of bikes across China. An increasing number of people choose cycling instead of driving to school, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. Bike﹣sharing plans are warmly welcomed in many. cities. Mobike had 5.85million active users while Ofo had 1.4million in the first week of this year.
People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. All bikes have GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They're popular among many Chinese people
because they help solve "last﹣mile" problems in cities. For example, many people find it difficult to get to the hotel when they get off trains or to travel around the city.
However, the plans have also led to problems such as illegal(非法的) parking, vandalism (故意破坏) and theft. In February, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention(行政拘留) for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.
In fact, these problems are also shared by bike﹣sharing plans abroad. Started in 2007, V6lib is the largest public bike sharing system in Paris. At its early period, it also met with problems of vandalism or theft. To deal with these problems, the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides.
Now, Chinese service Organizations are also trying to deal with these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100﹣point credit score(信用分数) for each user, but the points will be taken because of his or her bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental(租金) will be increased from 1yuan to 100yuan per 30minutes.
回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过6个词
46.What do many people choose to go to school or work instead of driving?
47.How do people unlock the shared bikes?
48.Why are the shared bikes popular in cities?
49.What reward will people get if they return V6lib bikes to stations?

Friends are very important for us.Anyone needs friends.It is nice to have a friend to talk,laugh and do things with.Certainly,sometimes we need to be alone.We don't always want others around us.But we would feel lonely if we had no friends.
Not two people are the same.Sometimes friends don't get on well.However,it doesn't mean that they no longer like each other.Most of the time they will make up and become friends again.Sometimes friends move away,we feel very sad.We miss them very much,but we can talk with them on the phone.We can also make new friends.It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know about them.Of course,we won't forget old friends forever.
There's more good news for people who have friends.They live longer than people who don't.Why?Friends can make us feel happy.Being happy helps us stay well.Or it could be just showing that someone cares about us.If someone cares about us,we will take better care of ourselves.
Fill in the blanks according to the passage.Only one word for each blank.
It's necessary for anyone to have friends.However,friends (71) be with us all the time.Nobody is (72) to others completely.Two friends may have dirfferent opinions but it doesn't mean they aren't friends any longer.Maybe they are (73) from each other they still miss each other,(74) if they have made new friends.(75) friends care,people can live better.

Although many people read online,books have not gone out of fashion,In Beijing,Guangzhou and Shanghai,lucky passengers may find books somewhere on the underground.
The Fair,an online publishing company,has put 10000books on the underground,planes and taxis to make people more interested in reading.This project is called "Mobook".
"Mobook" gets its idea from "Books on the Underground",a community project in London.The purpose of "Books on the Underground" is to encourage people to read more.Zhang Wei,the CEO of the Fair also wanted to do something in China. He sent an e﹣mail to Ms. Cordelia Oxley,the leader of "Books on the Underground",describing his plan and explaining the rules of "Mobook". The leader replied to him in just two hours,saying that she thought the idea was great and she would offer help if needed.
But "Mobook" project is a little different from that in London. It has its own online system.People who want to donate books must give their information online. QR code stickers(二维码标签) are then set to their addresses.The book owners should stick them on the books before donating books and readers can know where the books are with the help of QR codes.
"Mobook" is a hot topic.Now thousands of bookworms have already taken part in the project.Zhang Wei said,"I am happy to see more and more people share their views(观点)about the books online and enjoy the happiness that reading brings to them."
