I was jogging with my dog this morning when I saw John at a street corner. He was sitting on a bike with one of his feet on the ground. “He’s waiting for someone,” I thought. John and I were both in the ninth grade. He was a basketball player on our school team and was very popular with many girls. But I never talked to him before. He was not my type. John saw me, too. He smiled. For a moment I thought he was smiling at someone else. But he was not. “Hi, Mary,” he said to me. “You have a cute little dog.” I smiled but did not say anything, because I did not know what to say. “I’m here waiting for you. Would you ... would you like to go to the movies with me? “ he asked. I was very surprised. I never thought he would do this, and I never thought about going out with him. I said “No”, of course. But he seemed nice and friendly. Maybe I would go to watch him play basketball someday. 注解: jog 慢跑 type 类型 【1】What was John doing on the street when Mary saw him? A.Talking to a girl. B.Jogging.

However, some people can live without feeling sleepy after as little as six hours of sleep. Yet, other people need about ten hours a night. Newborn babies usually sleep between 14 to 17 hours a day. Usually they only stay awake for one to three hours. Do you take a nap in the day? Some adults and children need to nap. This just depends on the person. One thing scientists have learned is that man is the only mammal that stops himself from going to sleep. This can be bad for our bodies in many ways.

【1】You may have heard of the famous saying, “East or west, home is the best.”【2】“home”这个词对你来说意味着什么? How do you say the word in French, in Chinese, in your language? 【3】Although people usually know that the word means, it sometimes has no exact translation. It’s not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person. 【4】家不仅是屋顶和四面墙. It’s the cooking, eating, talking, playing and sleeping that go on inside. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed. 【5】Homes look different in different countries. They also have different things inside. For example, in cold northern Europe, there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows and cool stone floors. |

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier. The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future - for example, getting into college or getting a good job - that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasure, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several friends often live happier and healthier lives. Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities. Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good thingsfor someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes. 【1】Does the writer agree to “Happiness depends on ourselves”? 【2】What can make you happier, to think too much about the future or to enjoy life’s simple pleasure? 【3】Why do many people go dancing or play sports? 【4】What’s the example in helping others to find happiness? 【5】What’s the passage about? |
