For hundreds of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an influence (影响) on people's feelings. Many things can influence your feelings. Your feelings can be influenced by your personality (个性), by the actions of others and by the events around you. Perhaps you don't know your feelings can be influenced by the weather, too.
People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight reaches our skins, our bodies make a vitamin (维他命). Vitamins are natural chemicals (化学物质) which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies make vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical influences our brains and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies make less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feet better, special "sunrooms" with artificial (人工的) lights have been built. People can go there and get "sunlight" for an hour or two!
The weather can also influence people's feelings in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be uncomfortable. As you can see, the weather can have an influence on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our feelings. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.
【1】 may NOT influence one's feelings.
A.Weather B.Age C.Actions of others
【2】Vitamin D is according to the passage.
A.a kind of special food B.helpful to our bodies C.in the sunlight
【3】You can see special "sunrooms" with artificial lights in .
A.Italy B.Norway C.France
【4】What can you learn from the passage?
A.We feel good when we are in the bright cool weather.
B.All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winter.
C.The less vitamin you have, the happier you will be.
【5】Which is the best title for the passage?
A.People Need More Vitamin D
B.We Can Hardly Change the Weather
C.The Weather Influences People's Feelings

There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant (令人愉快的) but are not. 【1】 When someone says they have to "face the music", it does not mean they are going to a concert. "Facing the music" means to accept and deal with the punishment (惩罚) of an action.
【2】For example, "I can't face another night of camping! It's cold and rainy." Or "In life, you must face your fears. "Face used in this way is very common. But now, let's go back to "face the music".

It is an extremely (极其) fast car." But you do not listen. You want to show off (炫耀) to some friends, so you drive it around town one night. As bad luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. Bang!
When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and "face the music". 【3】It could be losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.
【4】To "take your medicine" means to accept the results from something bad you have done. And if someone says "You made your bed. Now lie in it", they mean you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results!
A.You never listen when you face music.
B."Face the music" is a good example.
C.The "music" here is the result of your actions.
D.Americans often use the word "face" in this way.

Did you throw something away today? The answer for most people would be yes. But where does our rubbish go? It doesn't just sit in the rubbish bin (垃圾箱). Every day, workers come to take the rubbish from our rubbish bins. They put it into a big truck and carry it to landfills (垃圾填埋场). At the landfill, workers sort (分类) the rubbish. They recycle (回收) some, burn some and put some of it underground. The more rubbish get recycled, the better it is for the future.
We can sort the rubbish before throwing it away. For example, we can put the paper boxes in one bag, put the bottles in another and throw them in the right rubbish bins. In this way, we can help save a lot of time, money and useful things for our world. Many foreign countries are good at recycling. In Sweden, only 4 percent of rubbish from houses ends up in landfills every year. In Japan, people recycle nearly 50 percent of all rubbish. There is still a lot to do when it comes to rubbish sorting in China. People in the country make about 300 million tons (吨) of rubbish every year. Most of it is unsorted.
The good news is that many cities are trying different ways to make things better. Recently, many machines called "Little Yellow Dogs" are put in some cities in China. The users can choose the kind of waste they are going to put in the machine. They will get money for different kinds of waste. People will reuse the recyclable waste in the machine. For example, the workers will give away the old but clean clothes to the poor children living in the mountains. So let's work together to make the world greener and better.
【1】How do the workers deal with the rubbish after they sort it at the landfill?
【2】Why should we sort the rubbish before throwing it away?
【3】Do people in Sweden recycle a lot of things every year?
【4】How much rubbish do Chinese people make every year?
【5】What can people do with the help of "Little Yellow dogs"?

Some westerners think the ways of education in many Chinese families are hard to understand. Here are some examples.
In China, many children are taken care of by their grandparents because their parents are busy. 1.但是父母应该经常和孩子待在一起并与他们交谈。
2. Parents don't pay attention to children's rights. Parents should knock at the door before they go into the room of their children. They shouldn't look through their children's things before they agree. Children who are not respected (尊重) also do not know how to respect others' rights (权利).
3. Parents often compare their children with others. Most Chinese parents want their children to be successful, because it can save the parents' face. Parents often say, "Your best friend studies so hard. He has already got good grades and lots of big prizes. "This is the worst thing. It will only hurt their children's feelings.
4. Many children have to do what their parents expect, though they do not like it. For example, parents ask their children to learn to play the piano or go to study in foreign countries. Children should decide these themselves.
5.他们学习越努力,就会有更好的成绩。Many parents think school performance is everything. In fact, the integrated (综合的) ability is so important that it will influence children all their lives.
However, children should try to understand their parents. Children don't have to be perfect, and parents don't have to be perfect, either. It's important to understand and respect each other.
