Rain beat against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors (传言) warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off. I was the newest one in the training department. My boss appeared. “You probably know we’re cutting back,” he said. “Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for example.” “Fine,” I answered unwillingly, not knowing what else to say. I decided to go home early that day. In the hall, I met the lady who brought us cookies every Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and the top of her green apron were visible over the cart (小车) loaded with cleaning supplies. At least she had a job! At the final meeting, laid-off workers formed a line at the door. A colleague whispered, “I can’t believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off. We’ll miss her as much as we’ll miss her cookies.” When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish, I knew my classes would be useless for her and I realized how much better off was than this poor woman. I decided to do something for her. I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later, my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position. On the same day, I received a letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice. “An editor of a local magazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you’re looking for work …” 【1】How did the author feel on that rainy day? A.Nervous. B.Excited. C.Awkward. D.Proud. 【2】What was the author asked to do? A.Take care of patients. B.Leave earlier that day. C.Resign from the hospital. D.Help the laid-off workers. 【3】How did the author help the Cookie Lady? A.He offered her a high-paid job. B.He gave her advice on job hunting. C.He made her story known to others. D.He taught her how to pass an interview. 【4】Which proverb best suits the topic of the passage? A.Good deeds have their rewards. B.A friend in need is a friend indeed. C.Little people can make a big difference. D.Love brings more joy to people than work does. |

We have a real crisis in this country in the basic understanding of science. It affects our global competitiveness as a country, our national security, and the effectiveness of our social system. The misunderstanding about science is blinding our eyes. We know that an awful lot of teachers who are teaching science today have not been properly empowered to do so. School frequently isn’t testing whether you understand something but whether you’re familiar with it. What’s Newton’s second law? You say F=ma, and you get an A. That does not reflect a deep understanding of Newtonian mechanics. Science education is not just a body of facts; it’s a process. To present it with appeal and excitement you need to picture it as a detective story—asking questions, making observations, and collecting evidence. You test and you fail but, you know, failure can lead to discovery. Another challenge we face is that science is often viewed as too hard, for experts only. But I don’t actually think it’s that difficult. People see science every day. They look outside and see weather and nature. They push a button in their house and the lights go on. Everybody’s dealing with science every day. They just don’t call it that. And it’s important they do. In fact, science is determining the quality and outcomes of their life. Science needs creativity. And one of the best ways to be creative is to think “out of the box”. However, we need more courage when we come to practice. Take me for example. Very early in my teens I decided to educate myself. I realized I would never be a very good student because I didn’t like teachers judging me by what I thought were arbitrary (主观臆断的) standards. I decided I’d let the world judge me by whether I could do something of value—solve a problem or build something. That’s why I quit school early and risked everything to start a company. I risked everything I had because I had nothing to lose. I’d rather fail at trying to do something really big than succeed at being medium. “When’s the right age to think creatively?” you may ask. I’d say in the womb (母腹)! Kids don’t have anxieties about trying to avoid failure. They are full of imagination and much more willing to fail. Just watch a 3-year-old. They touch everything, and if it hurts they don’t touch it again. They learn everything at a breathtaking rate. Start to think out of the box as early as you can, because it’s more likely to take you to places that you can’t predict, schedule and budget for. Do all that when you can bear the insecurity. 【1】According to the passage, science teachers should ________. A.train students’ memory for right facts B.focus more on the learning process C.present interesting detective stories D.abandon frequent science examinations 【2】Paragraph 3 indicates that _______. A.science is intended for experts only B.it’s important to see weather and nature C.people can determine the quality of life D.we should realize science is around us 【3】The author takes his own example to say ________. A.school education may do little good to students B.teachers sometimes judge their students unfairly C.people need to take an unusual path to be creative D.failure at a big thing is better than a small success 【4】What’s the tone of the passage? A.Questioning. B.Encouraging. C.Praising. D.Complaining. |

One of the greatest sources of unhappiness, in my experience, is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are. When we see something we don't like, we wish it could be different. We cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps it’s something ingrained(根深蒂固的) in our culture. The root of the unhappiness isn't necessarily that we want things to be different. However, it's that we decided we didn't like it in the first place. We've judged it as bad, rather than saying, “It's not bad or good, and it just is it. ” In one of my books, I said “You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned”. Some readers said it’s too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong. However, it's only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad. Instead, you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is. This can be applied to whatever you do: how other people act at work, how politics works and how depressing the news media can be. Accept these things as they are, and try to understand why they're that way. It will save you a lot of sadness, because you'll no longer say, “Oh. I wish bad things didn't happen!” Does it mean you can never change things? Not at all. But change things not because you can't accept things as they are, but because you enjoy the process of changing, learning and growing. Can we make this world a better place? You can say that you’ll continue to try to do things to help others, to grow as a person, to make a difference in this world. That's the correct path you choose to take, because you enjoy that path. Therefore, when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference, try a different approach：accept, and understand. It might lead to some interesting results. 【1】The author believes that we feel unhappy maybe because ___________. A. it is our natural emotion in the life B. culture asks us to be different from others C. everyone has their own opinions on things D. we dislike something in the beginning 【2】What does the underlined word "it" In Paragraph 4 refers to? A. Acting well at work and in politics. B. Feeling depressed for the news media. C. Accepting and understanding what has happened. D. Saying something negative when bad things come. 【3】What are you advised according to the last paragraph? A. Help others and make a difference B. Enjoy what you have to do in the work C. Judge yourself and make a wish for you D. Try a new way when making the world better 【4】What is the main theme of the passage? A. Accepting can make our life happier and better. B. Expecting things to be different gives us hope. C. Traditional culture becomes root of unhappiness. D. Judging good or bad is important for our world. |

Practical Ways to Show Respect for a Friend ●Show respect for their life choices and decisions Accept that people aren’t always going to be just like you. They will make different life choices，have different views on politics and religion，and act differently in many ways. This doesn’t mean they can’t be your friend. 【1】 ●Give them the benefit of the doubt 【2】If you’re in doubt about something，ask your friend. Be respectful and give them the benefit of the doubt when you don’t do. This alone will help you stay in their good graces(好感). ●Give friends your full attention One of the best ways to show respect for someone is to listen to them fully. Allow them to pause，convey nonverbal communication clues，collect their thoughts，and get it all out. Too often friends listen with half an ear or jump in the minute their friend pauses with an even worse story. 【3】When your friend is talking，pay attention. ● 【4】 Treat your friends respectfully when you argue with them. Make your friendship a safe place by not embarrassing your friend or expressing your private disagreements in front of other people. Be publicly supportive and kind to your friends so they know you value your friendship with them. ●Show up，be there，and do what you say you’re going to do 【5】 So just show your friend the best kind of respect by being on time，keeping promises，and being the one friend they can always count on. That’s the way to truly show respect. A. Assumptions can be a dangerous thing. B. Consider your friendship a precious gift. C. This type of behavior is very disrespectful. D. Tell your friends what you think about them directly. E. In fact，you can almost do nothing but accept the differences. F. It means that you’ll need to take a step back，reserve judgment，and show respect. G. No one likes an unreliable friend who says they’ll be there and then doesn’t show. |
