There are more and more people with flu these days, when you cough or sneeze (打喷嚏), please turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with your elbow (胳膊). And then, you should say, “Excuse me.” This is a ________ I set for my students.

It is so ________, but I regret to say not many follow it. Many kids have ________ been told to do this. In fact, I notice adults also sometimes cough and sneeze in public ________ putting their elbow over the mouth. I ________ traveling by subway in New York during the cold and flu season. ________ it is certain that someone is going to stand right behind me and cough or sneeze on my neck.

One of the most important things I point out to the kids is that after they sneeze or cough on their hand, they should ________ their hands as soon as possible. Or they will ________ those germs (病菌) to everything and everyone they touch.

In order to help the kids ________ this rule, I tell them an old story. It says that when you sneeze, ghosts jump into your body. If you don’t cover your mouth, the ghosts will ________, but if you cover it, you will keep them out. The kids love interesting stories behind rules. And it encourages them to put the advice to use more often.

Diana graduated (毕业) from a world famous university, and she wanted to do translation (翻译) work. She was so happy when she was accepted by the British Embassy (大使馆). She thought it was the greatest happiness in her life as many people wanted to get that job and she was one of the few people who got it!

But when she started her new job, she realized that it was just a job of answering calls and recording members’ arriving and leaving times. For some time, she felt upset and didn’t know what to do. However, she didn’t want to give up this job. She thought about it and finally she decided that she would try her best to do this job. From then on, she learned to enjoy her own job.

She wrote down the names and phone numbers of the staff members on a notebook so that she could remember them. She found great pleasure dealing with the daily chores. When someone asked her about who was not in the office, she would give the right name and even the time when he or she left. Nobody could do the job better than her.

Her excellent work got praise not only from the embassy’s members, but also from people in the local government. A leader of a famous company in Britain invited her to work for him. After that she became the leader’s personal translator and she was praised by the foreigners.

We cannot choose our destiny (命运), but we can choose the attitude (态度) with which we face our life. Maybe the attitude could change our destiny.

Tai Chi has always been a symbol of Chinese culture and is becoming popular around the world.

One thing that makes Tai Chi popular is its value in health. As you move, you breathe deeply and naturally, paying your attention to your body. This helps you relax and find peace in your mind. According to Harvard Health, Tai Chi is suitable for almost anyone, from healthy people to those who have disease. This is because its movements are never forced—the muscles (肌肉) are relaxed.

What makes Tai Chi even more interesting might be the philosophical (哲学的) ideas behind it. The word “Tai Chi” comes from Taoism (道家), which thinks that inaction, opposite to action, is the way to solve problems. That’s why Tai Chi movements are slow and soft. It is not used to fight an enemy—it is used to protect yourself. That doesn’t mean it is weak though. The secret of Tai Chi is to use softness to beat hardness.

When you think of Tai Chi, you might think of the famous yin-yang diagram (图形). It shows how ancient Chinese people saw the world. The world is full of yin and yang: dark and light, soft and hard, male and female, life and death. But they do not absolutely opposite each other. After a dark night, the sun will rise. Leaves fall in autumn but grow in spring. Everything keeps changing—that’s how we should see the world.

Tai Chi also pays attention to the balance between yin and yang. For example, if you work too hard and feel tired, you have too much “yang”. So it’s time for you to calm down and get more “yin”. This idea of keeping a healthy balance can be used in almost everything in life. It makes Tai Chi far more than just a Chinese Kungfu.

When a plane crashes (坠毁), the first thing people do is to ask, “What went wrong?” At this point, someone will probably mention the “black box”.     62     Because it is bright color, it is easier for people to find the box after a crash.

What is a black box? A black box is a data (数据) reporter.     63     For example, it records a plane’s speed. Also, it records things pilots say to each other and over the radio. This helps people know just what happened before a crash.

In what part of a plane is a black box put? Many people are surprised to learn that a black box is not in the front of a plane.     64    

How do the recording devices (设备) inside a black box survive (幸免于) a crash? A black box is made of very strong materials (材料).     65     It gives protection from the crash itself. And it protects against very high temperatures and fire.

Why is a black box so important? A black box records important information. Without it, many questions about an accident could never be answered.     66     As a result, plane makers can make changes so the problem will not happen again.

The Great Pyramid (金字塔) of Giza is one of the Wonders of the Ancient World. It     82     (build) more than 4,000 years ago in Egypt (埃及). It is so popular that millions of tourists from around the world come to visit it every year.
