10、e individuals want others to be happy,and will go out of their way to help you when youre feeling down. As Dotdashs Guide to Stress states,“Ideal friendships provide support when youre down,fun when youre up and wisdom when youre lost.”Compare that to toxic friends,who might snipe at(中伤)you or even
11、laugh at you behind your back.Negative people celebrate the downfall of others,and as a result youll end up feeling worse about yourself or the situation youre dealing with.Friends who arent positive will add to whatever amount of stress you are feeling.Your positive friends will not only help you r

23、 buses that have recently become a hit online may say otherwise.Quite different from English we know, the signs read, for example, “Here cannot go in” instead of “No entry”, and “Here can charge phone” instead of “Charge phone here”. This language that resembles English is called Singaporean English
24、 or Singlish.The New York Times calls Singlish “patchwork” because Singapore consists of migrants(移民) from several countries including China, India and Malaysia, and they all speak their own versions of “English”.“Everyone who speaks it shapes it,” wrote the newspaper.For example, in Singlish, you c

Sentence structures like “toilet where” instead of “wheres the toilet” also come from Chinese.Interesting and diverse as it may seem, the trend for Singlish is worrying Singapores government. It is con
26、cerned that the dialect is lowering the countrys English standard and may affect its relationship with visitors. It even started the Speak Good English Movement.Unfortunately, the problem was not solved. Instead, Singlish has boomed, especially among young people who think of it as a sign of being c

In fact, they are much more capable than the government gives creditthey can speak both.“We are a nation good at code switchingwe know that the way we speak to frie

D.It is affected by official languages.2.What is the purpose of starting the Speak Good English Movement?

But what if those native speakers are Dora the Explorer?It turns out television and radio might be even better tools for new language learners than previously thought. According to two recent studies by Scientific American, it is possible to further your un

While one group of study participants practised distinguishing three difficult Hindi sounds for one hour a day over the course of several days, another group alternately(交替地) spent 10 minutes on learning and 10 minutes on an intentionally distracting(使人分心的) task as the Hindi sounds pl

When tested on the sounds, the distracted group performed just as well as the focused group.And a following study published in the Journal of Memory and Language further validates the power of inactive learning. Researchers found that Spanish students learning the Basque acce

Not quite. While this growing body of research suggests inactive lang

60、 generosity.阅读理解 If you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey. First of all, always check and double-check departure time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few mi
61、nutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10:50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting. Th
62、e second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklaho
63、ma. I flew there from London via Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real mone
64、y!” The driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was very embarrassing. The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy
65、 suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, or places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get warm during the day.21. According to the passage, its obvious that .A. the author learns some rules of travelling from his own experience B.
66、the author doesnt plan his trip or journey carefully C. Englishmen like to wear heavy suits wherever they travelD. the American taxi driver never travels to England 22. What does the underlined word “there” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. London. B. Manchester. C. Tulsa. D. Dallas.23. What can we learn
67、from the passage?A. People should choose warm places as their travel destinations.B. People dont have to take credit cards when travelling.C. One should know more about the weather of the place hell visit.D. One should take enough change when travelling to other countries. .概要写作 阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右
68、的内容概要。According to most people, after a long period of studying or working, we need to have a rest to refresh ourselves. However, that may not be the case. According to a recent report, you dont need the break as much as you may think that makes you feel less tired.Scientists have long assumed that
69、willpower is a limited resource, which is why you feel the need to have a rest, have a snack and then get back to the task when you are feeling better. They argue that the only way it restores willpower is by rest, food or entertainment.But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak will
70、power is all in your head. They have found that peoples belief in willpower determines how long and how well theyll be able to work on tough mental exercise. “If you think of willpower is something that is not really used up, you can go on and on,” said Professor Veronica Jobs.The researchers design
71、ed four experiments to test students belief in willpower. After a tiring task, those who believed, or were led to believe that willpower is a limited resource, performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over. They also found
72、 that leading up to the final exam week, students who believed the limited resource theory ate junk food 24 per cent more often than those who believed they had more control in resisting the temptation.Mr Jobs said, “The theory that willpower is a limited resource is interesting. Belief in willpower
73、 as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.”The findings can help people who are battling against temptation. Willpower isnt driven by a biologically-based process as much as we used to think. The belief in it is what influences your behaviours.课时作业

Terrys grandsons Kenyon, 14, Broderick, 11 and Braylon, 9, were spending a winter night with her. She and the three children died in the fire and following collapse(倒塌) of the house in Washingt
75、on Court House, Ohio.Sick with sorrow, Terrys son Ricky Harris and his wife, Traci, the boys parents, welcomed friends into their home just down the street from where Rickys mothers house had once stood. One of them was Michael J. Emmons Jr. whod driven eight hours from Delaware, to comfort Ricky, a
76、n old high school friend.“When I heard the news, I felt deeply sorry for him,” Michael says.On the garage floor of the Harrises house, a relative had laid out more than 200 charred and waterlogged(浸透水的) photographs, including shots of the boys wearing their basketball and wrestling uniforms or posin
77、g for class pictures, saved from the fire. Michael, a doctoral student in preservation studies at the University of Delaware, saw in the sad scene an opportunity to help. He called Debra Norris, chair of the universitys art conservation department, for advice on how to save the photos.“I thought she
78、 would recommend a restoration(修复) service,” says Michael. Instead, she asked him to post the photos to her right away.Every day for two weeks, Debra along with ten photo-preservation graduate students and dozens of other teachers and local conservators, carefully cleaned dirt off the photos with ti

An alcohol solution removed tougher dirt.Three months later, Debra and Michael delivered a box of restored photos to the parents.“I would love to see my mums face, knowing that all these people cared,” Ricky says.1.Why did Michael pay a visit to Ricky?A.To volunteer to restore the photos

82、ugust 23rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And she was not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orang-utan(猩猩)let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.“Its very diffe
83、rent from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs(monkey-like animals of Madagascar)will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”But you cant see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you canif youre an animal. “Animals can
84、 hear above and below our range of hearing,” said Brandie Smith. “Thats part of their special abilities. Theyre more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”Primates werent the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound.
85、 And a huge lizard(蜥蜴)ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes(a kind of birds)gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.So what kind of vibrations(震动)were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of w
