Talk to Your Kids about Their Eating Habits Carefully
Weight is never an easy subject. It can be risky for parents to raise the issue of eating habits and weight with their kids.
“Nokid ever lost weight because his mother told him he was fat ”a friend told me when I was worried about my son’sweight.
It turns out she was right according to a new study. The study was directed by Dr. Berge at University of Minnesota. She found that kids whose parents discussed eating in a healthy way were less likely to have eating problems. But 64% of the kids whose parents focused on their weight turned to unhealthy eating behaviors. Some kids went on extreme diets and others even ate no food. So eating disorders were caused. Things were worse when fathers joined in the discussions with their daughters and focused on weight. “Fathersshould never comment on their daughters ’weighst a”ys Berge. Instead she suggests fathers should focus on their daughters ’interesTtsh.at can help them feel loved and confident enough to work on their weight issues.
How should parents talk to kids about eating behaviors? According to Berge they should avoid focusing on how much their kids weigh. They should talk to them about being
healthy. Don’tcompare them with others. Ideally both parents should share the responsibility. If that ’nsot possible choose the parent whose words cause the least amount of stress and who demonstrates healthy eating.

1、 You just found some good stuff on the Web for your science report. You copy a paragraph and paste it into your report. Then you continue your research. But you just made a big mistake. You committed plagiarism. Plagiarism is when you use someone else ’s words or ideas and pretend that they are yours. It ’snot allowed in school college or beyond.
2、The word “plagiarism co”mes from Latin. It means stealing a person ’isdeas. But it ’s not always easy to tell what is plagiarism and what is not. Sometimes it ’asccidental. You really intended to do your own work yet ended up with some sentences that sound just like something you’veread.
3、Though plagiarism can be accidental it ’ssometimes done on purpose. That ’sjust being lazy. By copying whole paragraphs from different places you don’thave to spend the time thinking about the subject gathering your own thoughts about it and then putting them into original words. Cut paste and you’redone.
4、Most schools are pretty strict about plagiarism. If you’recaught your graduation will be delayed or worse. At the very least you’reprobably going to fail the assignment. When you’reolder and in college some schools will kick out students who plagiarize. When you’rekicked out of one college it can be hard to get into another.
5、To be on the safe side always make it clear where the information comes from. You
need to write references. That ’sa list of the sources you used for a project or report. To do that you’llneed to know the author the title and the date it was published. If you write something really great maybe some day someone will quote you in a report.

Using Music to Change Your Mood
Everyone knows that listening to music when feeling bad can provide a relief. Music can also reduce stress make depression more bearable and help you relax.
All the benefits of music can only be got if the listener enjoys the music he is listening to.
If the listener dislikes the music or finds it boring it will have a negative effect on him instead of a positive one. Now let ’esxamine what most of us do when it comes to listening to music. We usually just listen to a play list and allow a program to randomly （任意地） select the songs we are going to listen to.
This is where the problem lies. What if you liked the first song but found the second one boring? What if the third one was a motivating song while the fourth didn ’tsuit your emotions? What do you think the result will be?
What you’llhave is an emotional mess! The first song will lift your mood a little. The second will make you a little bored. The third will motivate you and then the fourth will put you down. In the end you’llend up feeling worse than before.
I strongly recommend dividing your play list into different small lists. For example a list for relaxation a list for motivation and so on. Another very important thing you must do is to get rid of the old music that you are bored of. Besides don’tlisten to songs with negative words or messages.
The music you listen to can delay your recovery from breakups（分手） by months and months! People who listen to romantic songs after breakups recover 10 times slower than those who don’t.So be careful with your play list if you want to recover faster. 52. Music is believed to have a comforting effect. A. True B. False C. Not Given 53. One can benefit from all kinds of music. A. True B. False C. Not Given 54. People tend to listen to music selectively.

It ’sso easy to walk into your first job and feel like a stranger in a strange hand. But you don’thave to stay that way and you shouldn ’t.
You have to remind yourself to kick your shyness away and introduce yourself. Just a
handshake will do. Ask the supervisor who hired you to introduce you around a bit. That ’s the best way to make contacts. Then you’llknow what to do and say when you meet these people again.

I was scared and just thought people would talk to me first. For a long time I was hung up on the thought that if someone was older I respected them automatically. And even if someone started on Monday and I started Tuesday I just felt they had more experience. In the area I worked for four months. I hardly spoke to these people ”she said.
“Ofcourse now I realize that was the most stupid thing. If I could do that again I ’d remember that it ’sso important not to feel shy about introducing yourself. It ’nsot like you have to be very bold ready to take over the place. Just introduce yourself and ask if there is anything you can do for them. That breaks the ice. ”
Sue believes that if she had introduced herself around a bit there would be just no telling what other opportunities or what other acquaintances she might have now. Not that she
regrets where she is now at all. But had she talked to more people at her first job “maybe it would have helped me get somewhere sooner ”she said.

More Than One Kind of Intelligence

? IQ is just one measure of our abilities. There are many other kinds of intelligence. For example spatial (空间的） intelligence is the ability to think in 3D. Musical intelligence is the ability to recognize rhythm and tone. Abilities in sports and arts are other types of intelligence.
? Another important type of intelligence is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence (EQ for
short) is the ability to understand use and manage our emotions. Just as a high IQ can predict top test scores a high EQ can predict success in social and emotional situations. EQ helps us build strong relationships make good decisions and deal with difficult situations.
? One way to think about EQ is that it is part of being people-smart. Understanding and getting along with people help us become successful in our lives. In fact some studies show that EQ is more important than IQ when it comes to doing well in school or being successful at work.
? Some people are born with good EQ skills; others need to work on them. Everyone can get better
if they know what to do. Being able to notice and label everyday feelings is the most basic EQ skills. Being aware of emotions helps us manage our own emotions. It also helps us understand how others feel.Task 1

Those Who Ride on Two Wheels In the United States there are six million tennis plaxxxxyers and twelve million golfers. These figures would not surprise most people. But many would be
surprised to learn that twenty million Americans ride motorcycles ( 摩托车 ).Few people realize that motorcycling is fast becoming one of America
’s most popular sports.
According to the Cycle News ，many kinds of people enjoy motorcycling. They include black people and white people businessmen professionals and blue-collar workers. Among them about 55% are businessmen 3% are in the professions and 9% in government service.
Such information is offered by the Cycle News in the hope of improving the general public ’s
impression of the sport. The public has tended to believe that all motorcyclists are wild and lawless young men.
There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. A motorcyclist appearance has something to do with this dislike. Motorcyclists often look dirty; in fact they are dirty. On the road there is little to protect them from mud. For practical reasons they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars. For the same reason motorcyclists usually wear dark colors. Perhaps this helps to explain why they are sometimes suspected of having bad natures.
Probably motorcycles themselves also produce anger and fear. They are noisy， though some trucks are even noisier. But trucks are acceptable because they perform a needed service.
Motorcycles on the other hand make an uncomfortable noise just to give their riders pleasure. Roaring along quiet streets they wake sleeping families and make babies cry.
Yet as motorcycling becomes more and more common it will be interesting to see how people in general feel about the sport. Perhaps it will someday become as ‘^respectable ’’ a

How to Forgive Forget and Let Go O Forgiving someone does not mean releasing them from an earlier guilt. What if the person who wronged you is not living? What if the person is someone who made you extremely embarrassed during school 20 or 30 years ago? Letting go of emotional pain does not mean that nothing happened; it means that you no longer want to be controlled by it.
Recognize that forgiveness is not denial. Whatever caused the pain was a real incident. Denying that it happened means it is too painful to work through the emotions. There is no timeline on forgiveness. Some steps take longer to get through and it is acceptable to set them aside for a period

of time. Part of forgiveness is understanding whether or not someone takes responsibility for what happened and may even show regret.
Understand that not everyone who forgives reconciles with the person who caused the pain. There are relationships that are harmful and even physically dangerous. While it is possible to forgive the past and move beyond it，it may also mean that the person who was involved can no longer play an active role in yourlife. If a person or situation is not safe ，it may be best not to reconcile therelationship now. Work on forgiveness at d time when you are emotionally healthy and physically safe.
? Make a conscious decision to forgive someone. Even if they never apologize for what
happened determine within yourself that it is fine to proceed without this apology. Apologies should
not be asking for forgiveness. Apologies should be offered as an effort of true regret. They should be admitting that taking personal responsibility for the situation is important. Even without that apology make up your mind to forgive forget and eventually let go.

Silent Listening
If something bad just happened (happen) to your friend what would you do? Would you
mention it to him and say you feel sorry about it? Would you offer support or advice? According to Ruth Clark such 41 (treat) could mean well but it might not be what he 42 (real) wants or needs.

Clark asked some college students to imagine some 43 (pleasant) situations e.g. a low exam grade or the dad ’s 44 (lose) of his job. The students were then 45 (ask) how they would like to be
treated by a friend who learned of the bad situation from someone else. The results were a little 46 (surprise). Some said they would want and expect their friend to mention the 47 (annoy) situation but most of the students in the study 48 (respond) that they would like the friend not to do it. The students made the 49 (decide) for themselves whether to discuss their problem with a friend. So there is value in being a silent 50 (listen) around a troubled friend.

Being \"Cool\" in Middle School
A new study shows that gentle and quiet kids in middle school will grow up to rule. Or at least they'll live healthier and more productive lives than the \"cool\" kids will.
The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having \"cool\"
behavior such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as \"cool\" and popular kids. But as they grew up things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their early 20s. Their behavior was no longer lixxxxnked with popularity. Instead they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides the average \"cool\" kids by age 22 did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn't develop the skills needed for meaningful friendships.
The study followed 86 male and 98 female middle school students for a 10-year
period. It has some surprising findings. In particular the study notes that the so-called \"cool\"
behavior is a predictor (预示) of future problems with drugs and alcohol. In fact it is a better predictor than drag and alcohol use in middle school. However one conclusion of the study is welcome. Researchers said that parents shouldn't worry too much if their kids don't seem that popular. If a kid prefers to spend Saturday nights at home watching a movie or reading instead of going out with friends that is not a cause for concern. Many \"uncool\" kids they said do much better later on than the popular kids do. 94. Gentle kids are less healthy when they grow up.

It is estimated that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants as we know have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765 there were no restaurants. There was nowhere in which a server brought you food and drink that you chose from amenu. In fact there were no menus anywhere.
There were places where travelers could eat centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were bars where one could get a drink. The rich could also eat meals supplied by private cooks. But there was nothing that could be called a \"restaurant\".
A Frenchman changed that. In 1765 he opened a place in Pads that sold soups. On his sign he used the term \"restaurants\" to describe what he was selling. Soups were considered \"restorative\" so he called them
\"restaurants\". Finally people started buying his soups even when not ill. And as time went on people began to use the term \"restaurant\" to refer to the place where soup was sold rather than the soup itself. More \"restaurants\" opened up in France and people began to buy soups more regularly.
Then restaurants in Paris began to serve food other than soups. In the 1780s menus started to appear. By the 1800s there were many types of restaurants and the restaurant concept was spread throughout the British Empire. A slow start gave way to rapid growth. Cities and towns around the world are filled with restaurants today. It is estimated that there are 27. million restaurants in Europe. InAmerica there are nearly a half million restaurants. Today diners have millions of choices.
104. Before 1765 travelers could have meals at a(n) A. bar B. inn C. restaurant 105. The first \"restaurant\" only served A. soups B. desserts C. drinks
D. canteen D. fruits
4 个选项 (A 、B、C、D)中选出 1 个最佳选项，并
106. The word \"restorative\" (Line 3 Para. 3) most probably means A. having a special flavor B. making you happie C. having a pleasant D. making you healthier 107. The restaurant concept started in A. America
B. Britain
C. Germany
D. France
108. The best title for this text is A. Definition of Restaurant B. Importance of Restaurant C. Origin of Restaurant

How to Perfect the Art of Public Speaking
If you want to become the type of speaker you've always wanted to be read the following suggestions. ① You can't go from a nervous speaker to a star speaker overnight. You shouldn't expect to. Give yourself time to get used to a large audience. Start with smaller groups and get as much feedback as you can. Keep on practicing and developing your skills.
② Be familiar with your speech materials. That doesn't mean memorizing your speech which can lack enthusiasm and naturalness. Know your key talking points supporting details and ways to move from one point to the next. ③ Positive energy can be passed. If you're excited and enthusiastic your audience will be too. You'll be surprised at the positive cycle that creates: An enthusiastic audience can add even more energy to you. Use hand gestures. When appropriate smile smile smile.
④ Find friendly interested faces in the audience and speak to them. Look into their eyes. It helps prevent you from staring off into the distance or reading from notes. It also helps make you feel like you are talking in a conversation rather than speaking to a group. ⑤ When you look great you feel great. That makes you confident.

Our body is an amazing obxxxxject.
26
If you are inactive most of the time your
body will quickly become tired when it should be active. But if you are very active your body will get used to the hard work and the work will become easier for you to do.

Physical activity can help people remain active and stay healthy. 27 It also helps people sleep better. This is why active students don't complain about being tired. They have a good night's sleep and have the energy to study hard and have fun every day.
Physical activity also makes people look and feel good. Activity bums more calories (卡路里 ) than just sitting.
28
In addition regular exercise can make your muscles and
bones stronger.
There are many factors to look at when you select a new physical activity. The most important is to choose something you enjoy. If you like jumping rope that is the activity you should do. 29 In fact two days of basketball three days of swimming and two days of bicycling can be more fun than jogging every day. 30 Some skills will
improve with practice while others may always be difficult for you. If you enjoy an activity feel free to do it. No one cares whether you can do it well or not and you don't need to care about it either. Whatever activity you choose remain active. It can make you
physically fit and healthy for life. A. But you don't have to do the same thing every day. B. Different activities need different skills. C. You may prefer to participate in team

The Thinking Habit That Changed My Life
I remember one evening three years ago when my life was very different. 1 was overweight.
I was deeply in debt. I was a smoker. I felt hopeless and helpless.I couldn ’cthange anything.
Then I looked up at the sky and thought what a miracle life is. And I resolved to list the good things in my life. I had a wonderful wife. 1 had five amazing children. I could sec and appreciate the beauty of the world around me. The list went on but you get the idea. Even when things seemed terrible for me actually I was OK.
That night I resolved to be grateful for what I had and for the people in my life. I started
the habit of gratitude. Now many people consider it unimportant. I'm here to tell you that it's very important. It changes lives.
Now I appreciate my wife Eva more. I feel good about having her in my life. And we
have deepened our relationship. I also appreciate my kids more. Instead of criticizing them I tend to notice their loveliness curiosity and humor.
to others around me at work and everywhere else because instead of seeing the faults in everyone I see the good and am grateful for them. I need less，because instead of thinking about what I don't have I am grateful for what I do have. Each and every moment becomes cause for gratitude and life becomes easier.
Without the habit of gratitude we tend to complain and see the bad in people and things. We can't change that at once but you can do something. For example you can start with a small action. Really feel the happiness that something o someone is in your life or take a moment to make a list of the things in your life that you're thankful for. 119.I was unhappy with my life three years ago.

Dog training is a must for all dogs. It is more than just telling your dog to stop doing what he’sdoing; it is the process of teaching a dog to exhibit certain desired behaviors in specific circumstances. Proper dog training is not a “quick一 it is an ongoing process. Dog training also involves teaching the owner. Going through dog training is something that every dog owner should do. It is like going to school over again. It is all about communication and you need to learn to communicate with your dog. Training your dog to ”sit i”s probably the first thing you will train your dog to do. When you want your dog to sit hold a treat above his head and say “sit ”As. the dog sits say “sit a”gain and then immediately give him the treat. Your dog should drop into a “sit ” position in order to reach the food.
Teaching your dog to fetch promotes bonding. To do this first throw a ball and give the command “fetch ”As. he starts to run towards it yell “fetch a”gain. Instead of a ball you may use the obxxxxject your dog loves most. Do not play fetch with heavy items or sticks however as this can damage the dog’steeth or injure the dog.
A well-trained dog should remain where his owner commands so “stay i”s an important command in dog training as well. Since it is more involved that will be the subject of another article.
Dog training is a very physical activity so be prepared to be tired. And dog training is never without risk of injury especially with more aggressive dogs. One major mistake many dog owners make is to think that the dog training is over. Training your dog continues throughout your dog's life.
129.What docs the author say about dog training?
A.It requires professional guidance. B. It is necessary for every dog. C.It gives dogs good exercise. D. It is an easy job for trainers. 130.What is the most important thing for dog trainers to do?

Some people say they need a lucky break to recover from 、their failures.(27)
They need to get over their failures on their own. But how do they do that? I he answer is: positive thinking.
People often fail to realize the power of positive thinking. (28 )They fail to realize that they only need to overcome their fears in order to truly succeed in life. They just have too much pride and are blinded of their own shortcomings.

Don’tBe Afraid of Making Mistakes
Lost of people don t dare to make mistakes (mistake). They fear that they will be ridiculed or (41)(blame) by others.

Have you ever (43) (hear) of someone who achieves success without
making any mistakes before?

Y”ou needn't worry
about anything as long as you keep on going by(50) (wise) learning from your mistakes and trying even harder.

English writing was always easy for me but that changed on the first day I walked into Mrs. Johnson's class. Before that I'd heard rumors from former students. They said she was strict and
her class was hard to pass. So I was very nervous
The first time we met Mrs. Johnson told us her class would be difficult but she would give us new \"tools\" and guide us through. She explained that her grading system was different and that we would not see high scores soon. Everything you do in class matters \"she said. \"As writing is an art it takes a long time to perfect.
Mrs. Johnson scared me. I was afraid of what she would say if I asked a question. So in class I kept silent most of the time and couldn't follow her. When got my first essay back my grade was terrible. I was annoyed with Mrs. Johnson. I disliked going to her class.

By and by I could talk to her both online and in person. She walked me through every step to understand how to write an essay. Together we saw improvement in my work.
From this I discovered that asking for help could actually work. Behind everything Mrs. Johnson was saying she actually cared about me and where I would be in the future. She knocked me down so that I could climb back stronger.

The Kilt
Whenever people from Scotland live in foreign countries they are always asked:\"Is Scotland
that place where men wear skirts? \"The short answer is yes but there is more about the myths of Scottish \"skirts.\"
The“skirt ” that Scots苏m格en兰( 男子 ) sometimes wear is called a kilt..It is part of the traditional dress of Scotland. The kilt is clearly very famous across the world. It seems that everybody has heard of it and that most people have seen a picture of a man wearing one People's knowledge and ideas about Scotsmen wearing these funny kilts come from films and television. Every time people from other countries ask about the kilt they mention Mel Gibson's film Braveheart. In many countries there are television programmes about Scotland. These programmes always include information or images of men in kilts.
Of course in Scotland you will often see the kilt. The reality is though that you will most commonly see it in tourist areas. The main streets and tourist areas of Scotland always have a Scotsman wearing a kilt and all tourist shops in the country sell kilts in different colours. But kilts are not something that Scottish people see every day. Kilts are for special occasions such as weddings funerals and other big and important events. Scotsmen do not put on their kilt just to buy a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread at the local supermarket
The reason for this may be that kilts are very expensive. When a man wears a kilt he
normally wears it with a special shirt jacket socks and shoes. This is obviously not cheap. In fact an average kilt outfit( 全套服装 ) costs around￡500. 155. According to the text Scotsmen
A. like foreign culture B. sometimes wear kilts
C. enjoy talking about kilts D. often visit foreign countries 156. Mel Gibson is probably a A. painter B. musician
C. movie star D. fashion designer
157. In Scotland kilts are more often seen A. in tourist shops B. in public schools C. on the stage D. at local markets
158. People do not wear kilts every day probably because of their A. funny designs B. dull colours C. poor quality D. high prices 159. This text is mainly about the
A. history of kilts B. production of kilts C. myths of kilts D. styles of kilts 非选择题区

Decision-making is something I struggle with. In fact I'd rather have someone else make decisions for me .As I sat in a crowded information session( 咨询会 ) at a college last summer，I was again faced with the pressure of making a decision. 26 He then asked each of us to give our intended major. I looked at my mother with panic.
\"A major?\" I said. \"I can't even decide what socks to wear to school!\"
I wanted to say I was undecided. But as my turn to speak approached my confidence decreased. 27 I watched the girl in front of me. She was searching for some obscure(鲜为 人知的 ) major。I realized I couldn't just say undecided. So when my turn came I uneasily said \"I want to major in business I could feel \"liar\" written all over my face.
28 I felt ashamed. \"Why couldn't I have said that?\"I thought. The admissions adviser
even said that a lot of people are uncertain. That is why students have to decide until the end of the second year.
I have no idea what I want to do with my life. All I know is that I don't want to do anything that involves blood. 29 This isn't really narrowing it down. I've been told many people start college with one major and graduate with a degree in something totally different.
After my experience at the information session I've learned not to be afraid of saying I'm \"undecided. \" I know now that I am not the only one uncertain about future studies. I'm still experiencing a \"major\" problem. 30
A. Everyone before me had declared a major
B. So I've narrowed my list down to anything but medicine
C. The admissions officer asked us to introduce ourselves briefly D. In the end only one brave person said she was undecided. E. Admissions advisers help you to make decisions. F. However I'm confident I'll find a solution
