The idea of spending a year in a hot, beautiful country is an attractive option for any 20 - year - old university student, and numbers of students now take a year out to study or work abroad. Two years ago, I joined them.

My reality was long days teaching in Spain for less than one euro an hour. Despite my best efforts, I barely spoke Spanish and made just one friend, I couldn't wait for it to end and after nine long months, I boarded the plane home crying tears of happiness.

However, it has taken me a while to realize that I wouldn't have it any other way. I wouldn't do it all over again, but I certainly wouldn't change it. It was tough, but it was totally worthy.

I had to grow up and learn how to rely on myself. I learned that things don't always go the way you expect or want. I had time to think about what T was doing with my life and what I wanted to get out of my degree.

For many others, too, a terrible year abroad can turn into a positive, character - building experience. I'm not saying that if you have a great year then you don't Learn anything, I’m still jealous of all the adventures and travelling my friends talk about: But a disastrous year abroad gave me the boost I needed to stop taking the opportunities I have for granted.

I spent a long time feeling like I'd wasted what was supposed to be one of the best years of my life, until I realized that was only because I was comparing it with other people's experiences. That year was the best thing that could have: happened to me. So if you've recently started your year abroad, remember to take it as it comes - appreciate the. experience you're having, without comparing it with everyone else's.

7 . It’s normal to wake up on the wrong side of the bed every now and then. But who wants to be unhappy for an entire day? There are a few simple steps to make today a brighter day for you.

Wake up early

By waking up even just fifteen minutes earlier, you’ll give yourself a bit more time to prepare yourself for the day ahead.     1     .So you should consider setting your alarm for the time when you want to be up and out of bed.

    2    

Exercising your muscles first in the morning will restart your system and set the tone for the rest of the day. You’ll do something healthy and productive, which will lift your mood（心情）and make you more energetic. Morning exercise can also prevent muscle pain, help you sleep sounder and lose weight.

Write a to-do list

If you have a lot on your mind, writing a to-do list will help, as it will enable you to organize your thoughts and clear your head. Just write down everything that you’re worried about getting done. Then rewrite it in order of importance.     3    .

Have a proper breakfast

Before you go about your day, it is important to eat breakfast.     4    . Don’t try to rush or just grab（抓紧吃）something on the go. Be sure to eat something that will fill you up as well, such as milk or fried eggs!

Wash and present yourself nicely

    5    . This will also make you feel more confident. If you want to treat yourself, run a bath instead of a shower. You’ll find that a little me-time can really cheer up your day.

A．Do morning exercise

B．Take your time over it

C．Exercise at least twice a week

D．Eat as many vegetables as possible for the breakfast

E．It’s a wise idea to shower and make yourself look tidy

F．So you can focus on the most urgent（紧急的）tasks right away

G．You can also take things slowly, rather than rush and stress yourself out

8 . “Tell her,” I whispered to my daughter as she pressed her body against mine. She folded my free arm around her little shoulders while I finished loading the groceries onto the conveyer belt.

I smiled at the young cashier who had a butterfly knot tied to her black ponytail(马尾辫). My daughter was right when she'd whispered to me, “Her hair is so pretty.”

“Tell her,” I repeated with a gentle push. My girl only dug her pink cheeks deeper into my side as she nervously twisted the edge of my sleeve in her small fist.

The cashier looked down at my daughter, her expression showing a little concern. “My daughter thinks your hair is beautiful.” I explained.

The cashier's face lit up. “You do?” This led my little one out of her hiding place. She looked up and nodded.

“Thank you so much! You made my day,” the cashier said with a smile brilliant enough to compete with her highlights. My daughter returned it with a shining smile of her own.

As I walked out of the store, holding my daughter's hand, I stole a glance back at the young woman. Her energy was clearly brighter now than it had: been when we first entered her line.

After loading my groceries in the trunk, I climbed into the driver's seat. It was then that my daughter made a declaration, “Mom, I think I'm going to start telling everyone when I like their hair.” “You should, honey.” And she did. She still does.

It's a rare occasion if we make a trip out in public without her telling someone that she loves their hair, or nails, or shirt, or shoes. To be honest, I think she even does so more than me. And it's one of my favorite things about this girl. She learned, at a very young age, that by simply telling people when you see beauty in them, you can draw out the beauty of human connection.

1. Why was the author's daughter nervous in the store?

A．She was frightened of the cashier.	B．She was too shy to express herself.
C．She was unable to pay the groceries.	D．She was unhappy to greet a stranger.

2. What made the cashier more energetic in her work?

C．The competition environment.	D．The understanding of a mother.

3. What does the author think of her daughter now?

A．Kind and independent.	B．Lively and cheerful.
C．Careful and generous.	D．Smart and proud.

4. What is the best title of the text?

A．The Beauty Of Good Manners	B．The Power In Raising Others Up

9 . 根据所学课文内容填空。

According to them, there is a danger     1     I may not be able to     2     whether these friends are real friends... Maybe she’s right. It’s important to meet friends     3    from time to time, not just on     4    .

Studying is     5     a big part of my life. I tend to set a     6     for every subject at the beginning of each term.

What made him feel     7     was that his students were able to read, speak and write in English, and they became more     8     in learning… He contacted charity organisations about rebuilding the playground and setting up a     9    , and helped the villagers sell local products     10    .

10 . If you're anything like the typical human, then you have dreams and goals in your life.     1     We always focus on the end goal that we want to achieve and the deadline we want to do it by. The problem with this is that if we don’t magically hit the timeline that we set in the beginning, then we feel like a failure.

In my experience, instead of giving yourself a deadline to accomplish a particular goal by, you should choose a goal that is important to you and then set a schedule to work towards it consistently.

    2     Back in August 2012, I decided that I wanted to do 100 push-ups in a row with strict form. When I tried it the first time, I only got 36. In the past, I might have set a deadline for myself: "Do 100 push-ups by December3lst.”     3     I started doing push-up workouts every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So far, the only workouts I’ ve missed were on long travel days. I have no total push-up goal for any single workout. The goal is to do the workout simply.     4    

In this case, I' ve made consistent progress towards my goal not by setting a deadline for my performance, but by sticking to a schedule.

So, want to be the type of person who accomplishes things on a consistent basis?     5     This is a lesson I have learned from my own experience.

A．In this way, I believe I will set my goal.

B．Instead, I decided to set a schedule for my workouts

C．Give yourself a schedule to follow，not a deadline to race towards

D．I can’t predict when my body feels like setting a new personal record.

E．Allow me to explain this by using one real example from my own life.

F．The result is that after doing 77 push-up workouts I' ve made a lot of progress.

G．But when it comes to setting goals, there is one common mistake we often make.
