1 . Work is helpful to health. Scientists find that the hard-working people live longer than those who have no jobs. Studies show that the jobless are in poorer health than job-holders. The women have jobs are healthier than housewives.
Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy, away from feeling lonely. Researches show that people feel unhappy and worried when they have nothing to do. The happiest people are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their jobs feel they are the happiest when they are working hard. They work as a bridge between their dream and reality, so they have energy every day. By work, people get to know each other. By taking part in all kinds of activities, they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss（丧失）of work means the loss of everything. It makes people down and it will cause more illnesses.
Besides, work makes one feel hopeful and proud. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are very happy.
From the above, we can come to a conclusion: the more you work, the happier and healthier you will be.

2 . ①When it comes to Chinese students considering studying in foreign countries, many of them usually believe that life will be easy and enjoyable. Unfortunately, it’s likely that students with those beliefs will be disappointed very soon after landing at the airport.
②So, what are the problems you may have, and how can you deal with them?
③Teaching and learning styles in America are very different from those in China, requiring more critical thinking(批判性思维) and teamwork. In a normal American classroom, one project might be done by a study group in which every person has his/her own responsibility.
④So don’t worry about your language or any grammar mistakes. Just watch what other students do, and don’t be afraid to ask any questions. The discussions, or sometimes ever arguments, that your group members and you hold are likely to be the beginning of a friendship.
⑤Beside schoolwork, another important thing faced by overseas students is homesickness or loneliness. You may miss your parents’ cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. Being away from home can create bitter feelings, especially when faced with the challenges of getting used to a new environment.
⑥What I strongly suggest is to try hard to deal with these feelings. Be open to new friendships. Sign up for school activities, and give yourself permission to enjoy life at school, even if you miss home a lot. Be organized and keep a diary to check your progress. Write down three new things that you’re grateful for every evening, as well as three things you’re looking forward to every morning.
⑦Studying abroad is never simple. In fact, there will be many difficulties every day. But I’m sure you will overcome your difficulties and make your time overseas a success.

| Hi Joanna, I’m having a great time in Vietnam. We arrived three days ago and now we’re staying in a hostel by a river in the jungle. The weather is very hot and sunny.

4 . Today, it is a big problem for young people to get fine jobs after they leave university. It is said that there are thousands of different kinds of jobs in the world. But choosing the right one itself often worries young people.
“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in jobs that they are not suitable (合适的) for. Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs which you might enjoy doing after school or university.
First, it is important to know what kind of person you are, which special qualities (品质) make you better than others and what you are interested in. There is a difference between an interest and a skill. If you like art and enjoy looking at pictures, that is an interest. But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse not a big dog, that is a skill.
Then ask yourself a question, “Of the following three skills-skill with people, skill with information and skill with things, which is my best skill?”
After finding out your best skill, the next step is to research (调查). To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers for information. Ask your friends what they think of the work they do.
The last step is to trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life, just find the job you really enjoy doing.

5 . Once there was a young man who began to feel too good after he succeeded. He was so proud（自负的）that he felt he could do anything easily.
One day, the young man asked a wise man（智者）to climb the mountain together. On the way, the young man kept talking about how good he was, but the wise man just listened to him without saying a word. At the top, the wise man asked, "Look! What do you see below? " "I see trees, farms, houses and people on the firm, " the young man said. "What do you feel?, " the wise man asked the other question. ''Everything is under me. I feel I am very powerful（强大的）, " the young man answered.
After a minute, he asked the young man to look up. "What can you see this time?" the wise man asked. "There are different birds and white clouds flying around high mountains, the young man answered. Then he asked the wise man's feelings. UI feel small and powerless, " the wise man answered. "If a person knows there is always the sky over his head, he can understand where he stands. "
The young man disagreed with the wise man. At last, he left angrily and still believed that he was the best.
Just after a few months, the young man lost everything. At that time, he felt sorry for what he said. From then on, whenever he began to feel too good, he looked at the sky. Then he remembered his right place.
1. Why did the wise man ask the young man to look up?| A．To ask him to enjoy the sky. | B．To make him know he is short. |

6 . ①How would you feel if someone decided to take away your park? Well that's what's happening in my community. There's a park that some people want to turn into a golf course （高 尔夫球场）. Let me tell you why I think it's a bad idea.
②First, a community park should open for everyone. But not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the court.
③Second, to build the golf course, lots of playground equipment will have to be moved or knocked down, which is a waste （浪费）of time and money.It’s also a waste of good equipment.
④Third, what about giving young people something to do? Not all kids are fond of golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground, which children like a lot. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won't have anywhere to go and anything to do. This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game instead of getting some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the park?
⑤Finally, golf is expensive. Building and maintaining（维护）a golf course cost a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course?
⑥Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further.
1. Some people want to change the park into ________.| A．a golf club | B．a golf course | C．a park | D．a skating place |

7 . ①Nowadays, lots of young people have problems with their minds. These problems not only hurt the students’ health but also make their parents and teachers very worried. And these problems have caught people's attention.

8 . The British development group Practical Action says the best way to prepare foods for storage(储存) is at harvest(收获) time while still in the field.
Use a sharp knife to cut the fruits and vegetables off and put them on a clean place. Do not put them on the ground. Use water to clean off dirt. Usually it is better not to pick off the leaves from fruits and vegetables before storage. Without the leaves, food can become dry.
Fruits and vegetables must be cool from field heat before they are put into storage. But cooling them in water can spread fungus(菌类) in the food. A better idea is to harvest foods either early or late in the day, then leave them to cool naturally. Some fruits and vegetables must be kept at 0℃ to 4℃. Any colder, and they might go bad. Some foods need to be kept at 4℃ to 8℃ and some need to be kept above 8 ℃ for best results.
Wet the fruits and vegetables so they do not become too dry. The best time to do this is before storage. Cover the foods in plastic(塑料) once they reach the right “critical temperature(温度)” for storage. Most fruits and vegetables need the relative humidity(湿度) in storage to be kept between 85 and 95 percent.
Finally, leave space between the foods and the walls of the cold storage area so air can go around. Keep the space clean. And try not to open the doors too often.
1. Where can you put the foods after harvest?| A．In the water. | B．On the ground. |
| C．In the sand. | D．On a clean place. |
| A．8:00 am. | B．12:00 at the noon. |
| C．4:00 pm. | D．6:00 pm. |

| B．We should pick off the leaves for best storage. |
| C．The food need 75% humidity for best storage. |
| D．Wet the fruits and vegetables before the storage. |
| A．容量 | B．信息 | C．空间 | D．速度 |
1. leave the foods to cool naturally
2. wet the foods

①Do you wonder why some kids can stay calm while others get nervous so easily? Why do some kids do everything very quickly while others are very sluggish? Why are some kids always happy while some feel upset all times?
②One of the answers to these questions is personality(个性). People were born with different personalities. A baby gets its blood type, genes(基因) and other physical things when it is still inside its mother. These factors(因素) make part of your personality. Besides, family life, school learning and life experiences can also decide what kind of person you are. You may not like your personality. Don't worry. You can always try to change it and make yourself better.
③If you are a selfish person who always thinks of yourself, you can start this way. Try to give others a hand and ask for nothing in return. The happiness you get from giving instead of receiving will help you change your personality.
④If you are very shy and don't know how to make friends, just tell yourself to smile at others and start talking to others with warm greetings. You are sure to have more friends than you used to do.
⑤If you are sluggish person who always does things slowly, you' d better make a plan every day. When you finish something, draw a happy face. If not, draw a crying one. No one would like to see a crying face and you will have the desire to change it into a smiling one.
⑥All in all, don't get too worried about your shortcomings (缺点). No one is perfect. That's why many people are trying to change. Don't give yourself a hard time about it all. It's not easy to change the habits overnight. Remember "Rome is not built in a day". Keep working at it. One day you'll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new person.
Dr. Olson

10 . The relationship (关系) between teachers and students is an important part of school life. An Indian movie called Hichki tells the story of a teacher who helps some bad students and makes them better people. It is popular with lots of students now.
