down unless you’re going to sleep.There should be no television or computer near the
chair，and no music or noisy family members or roommates.If you don’t have a place
like this，create one.

Writing a Letter to Your Future Self
Just imagine writing a letter to your future self five years from now，then opening it at
that exact moment to see how much of it has come true. 1
As you read the letter in the future，you can assess how many things agree with your
expectations in the past. 2 Often times，the goals we set and our goal achievement
process are affected by a lot of changes along the way.The letter lets you recognize
how your current idea differs from the past.
In addition to that，at the very moment you are writing the letter，your thoughts are
stored right there in those words.When you open the letter in the future，you as your
future self gets to compare how you used to be in the past with how you are
now. 3 It’s very interesting to do so.
Take out a pen and paper right now and start writing your letter to your future self.Set
a time period to write to. 4 Then start writing.Think about the type of person you will
be，your place in life，what you will have realized then，and so on.
5 Put it in a safe space where no one can find it.When you open this sometime in the
near future，you might gain additional insights(了解) about yourself and your journey
in the past few years.
A.And you can think about why that’s the case.
B.It is a useful tool to be used in goal achievement.
C.Imagine how you will be like during that time period.
D.If you haven’t，join me in writing a letter to yourself.
E.This lets you see how much things have changed since then.

Is it necessary to learn when we are 50s,60s or even 70s？Most people consider when
they get retired，they are supposed to be completely laidback，do something fun，or
hang around. 1 It’s particularly important to the elderly.
Through learning，we know how to think，how to memorize，how to ask questions and
even how to interact with others.According to a study，while we are learning，“the
brain creates neural(神经) pathways” that make us smarter. 2 The more we learn，the
more new neural pathways develop in our brains.
When it comes to learning，it doesn’t mean we must load ourselves with lots of
knowledge.What we need to do is just learn something we like day in and day out. 3
Everyone learns from bottom to up.If we have an interest to learn，that desire will
naturally push us to move forward.
As we feel worn out from learning，don’t be discouraged. 4 An old saying goes，
“Birds of a feather fly together.” As long as we have partners to learn all together，our
learning excitement will come alive again.On the contrary，if we don’t learn，and
choose to distance ourselves from others，we might be getting dumb and slow；
eventually，we lose energy and life passion.Instead of being bored，dumb，why don’t
we keep learning?
5 More importantly，learning explores our life horizon，helps us build up our
confidence; gradually，it leads us to a way of finding a sense of value and
achievement in the process of learning journey.
A.It’s never too old to learn.
B.Don’t worry if we cannot learn well.
C.You should set a high learning target.
D.Learning makes us understand how potential we are.
E.Look for a partner who has the same common interest as you do.
F.In other words，our brains are active as we learn something new.
G.However，the truth is that learning makes us energetic，and self-fulfilled.

Time Is on Your Side
How frequently do you say “I don’t have time”？Quite often，I guess.Every time we
say those words，they make us feel weak and out of control.You are in control of your
hours and your life. 1
I know it’s not as easy as simply turning off the TV.But here are two steps that will
help you take back control and get time on your side.
★ 2
Be honest: do you spend an hour or two visiting Weixin and QQ every day？Are you
spending time with people that you don’t really like just to please them？Are there
meetings you attend that you can politely refuse?
It’s time to get real about the hours that add up to a lot of dissatisfying nothing.Think
how you can cancel daily activities that are not useful. 3
★Change your language.
Words matter.They have power.Saying “I don’t have time” is an excuse for not
wanting to do something.Here are some good，empowering alternatives：
“I choose not to start that project until next year.”
“ 4 ”
“I’d love to go out this weekend but have important work I need to do first.”
Get better at saying no. 5 Use little pockets of time (friend running late，car stuck in
traffic，meeting ending 10 minutes early) to do some productive thinking.All these
things can add up over time more than you believe!
A.Identify your blocks.
B.But you are likely wasting a lot of it!
C.I really don’t have enough time to do it.
D.Replace them with things that satisfy you.
E.Take no notice of all those unimportant messages on your phone.
F.I’d love to read that book—I’ll get to it after my homework is completed!
G.When you don’t have a plan for your life，someone else will plan it for you.

Have you ever been in a bad mood that you just can’t shake off or had a pile of
homework but realized you’re not in the mood to get it done？Sometimes we feel at
the mercy of our moods—but moods aren’t things that just happen to us.We can
influence and change them.
1 Here are three tips for choosing a mood.
1. 2 To switch moods，you need to know what you’re currently thinking and
feeling.That way you can decide if you need to change your mood to one that’s more
suited to your situation—or if you’re in the best mood to begin with.To identify a
mood，stop and think about what you’re feeling and why.Put those feelings into
words，like，“Wow，I’m really sad right now.” or “I’m feeling really lonely.” 3
2.Accept what you feel.After you name your emotion，show yourself some
understanding for feeling the way you do.It’s perfectly OK and natural to feel bored
on a rainy Saturday or annoyed about having to study when everyone else is going
out.All emotions are acceptable and understandable.But you don’t have to hold on to
feeling that way. 4
3. 5 If you’re competing in a swimming race，it’s best to be confident.If you need to
get down to some serious studying，it’s better to feel interested，alert，and
confident.Take a minute to think about which emotions will help you accomplish your
goal.
A.Share your mood.
B.Identify your mood.
C.Moods are the emotions we feel.
D.Notice your mood，and then choose to move past it.
E.Choose the mood that’s best for the situation you’re in.
F.You can say this silently to yourself，out loud，or to someone else.
G.Choosing the right mood can help you control whatever situation you’re in.

While you are travelling abroad，cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic
mistakes，which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill-feeling between
individuals. 1
·Touching Someone
2 In Mediterranean countries，if you don’t touch someone’s arm when talking to them
or if you don’t greet them with kisses or a warm hug，you’ll be considered cold.But
backslap(拍背) someone who isn’t a family member or a good friend in Korea，and
you’ll make them uncomfortable.In Thailand，the head is considered sacred—never
even pat a child on the head.
·Talking over Dinner
In some countries，like China，Japan and some African nations，the food’s the thing，
so don’t start chatting about your day’s adventures while everyone else is digging into
dinner. 3 It’s not because your group is unfriendly，but because meal times are for
eating，not talking.
·Removing Your Shoes or Not
Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the
hostess will find you uncivilized，but fail to remove your shoes before entering a
home in Asia，Hawaii，or the Pacific Islands and you’ll be considered
disrespectful.So，if you see a row of shoes at the door，start undoing your laces. 4
Once you are on the ground of a different country，remain highly sensitive to native
behavior. 5 And don’t feel offended if something seems offensive—like queue
jumping.After all，this is a global village，and we are all very different.
A.Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them.
B.Personal space varies as you travel the globe.
C.Asians consider removing shoes impolite at home.
D.Never be completely surprised by anything.
E.The linguistic mistake means that someone is not fully expressing his idea.
F.You’ll likely be met with silence.
G.If not，keep the shoes on.

Today’s the day of a big test at school，and you feel awful. 1 .Maybe your muscles
feel tense and you feel shaky or sweaty.You may have a case of the jitters，also known
as test anxiety.
2 .Performance anxiety is when a person feels worried about how they will perform，
especially when it’s really important.For instance，you might feel performance anxiety
when you’re trying out for the school band or for the basketball team.
When you’re taking a test，you might feel “butterflies”，a stomachache，or a tension
headache.Some people might feel shaky，sweaty，or feel their hearts beating quickly
as they wait for the test to be given out. 3 .
Sound familiar？ 4 .Ask other people and you’ll find that just about all
people—adults and other kids—feel some anxiety before a test.In fact，a small dose of
anxiety can be helpful，keeping you sharp and focused.But when your symptoms take
over so that you can’t function or when you’re so anxious that you feel sick，you
might not be able to do it.
Of course，if you didn’t study for the test，you might be worried—and for good
reason.That kind of anxiety isn’t as easy to tackle because even if you find a way to
calm down，you still might not know what the right answers are. 5 ，you’ll be able to
let your knowledge shine and score a good grade.
A．You’re not alone
B．Surely you have test anxiety
C．If you are not well prepared for the exam
D．Your stomach hurts and you have a headache
E．Test anxiety is actually a type of performance anxiety

When choosing Chinese universities，it is necessary for students to take both
university conditions and self-qualifications into consideration. 1 The following
factors should be considered carefully before making decisions.
Students’ graduation result
Students’ graduation result provided during the application is the key reference for the
university to decide whether to admit or not.The stronger comprehensive strength and
better reputation the university has，the stricter requirement for students’ graduation
result will be. 2
Economy conditions
The cost of the study in China is relatively cheap，while daily expenses are not exactly
the same in different areas.In Beijing，Shanghai，Guangzhou and other developed
coastal cities，the daily expense can be relatively higher than that of inland.These
cities’ living conditions are relatively better and entertainment and recreational
facilities are richer.Therefore，when choosing universities，your economy factor needs
to be taken into account.
3
China is a large country and the northern and southern China has many differences in
climate and diet custom. 4 Students need to consider whether the climate，traffic，diet，
and culture of the city that university lies in are as expected before applying，so as to
choose suitable universities.
Professional or comprehensive strength
In China，universities can be divided into comprehensive and professional two
kinds.Which is more important，professional strength or comprehensive
strength？ 5 If you want to make achievements in professional field，we suggest that
you consider professional kind of university.If you want to get diploma of a university
which is comprehensive strength strong and well-known，the comprehensive kind of
university may be better to meet your demand.
A.Location preference
B.Each city has its own characteristics.
C.There is no absolute answer actually.
D.Students sometimes get stuck when choosing majors.
E.Everyone hopes to choose suitable Chinese university reasonably.
F.You should make a reasonable assessment about self-qualifications.
G.So apply for a suitable university according to your graduation result.

The Winner’s Guide to Success
Do you know what makes people successful？To find out the answers，an American
scholar recently visited some of the most successful people around the world. 1
Be responsible for yourself.
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead.In fact，when
you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making
success，you’re giving away your own power. 2
Write a plan.
It is very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan.It is just like trying
to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 3 Without this “map”，you may
waste your time，money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the
“trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
Be willing to pay the price.
4 So you must be ready to work hard—even harder than you have ever done.If you
are not willing to pay the price，you won’t get anything valuable.
5
It seems to us that everyone knows this.But it is easier said than done.When you are
doing something，you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than
failure because failure can be the mother of success，but giving up means the death of
hope.
A.Never give up.
B.Nothing is easy to get.
C.A good plan is like a map to you.
D.Here are some keys to success that they give.
E.Some people achieve success much later in life.
F.You’re saying，“You have more control over my life than I do.”
G.Someone else’s opinion of you doesn’t have to become your reality.

Does this situation seem familiar to you？Your English is progressing well, the
grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are
speaking quite fluently. 1 First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening
is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign
language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.
2 The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The
RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a
radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated(受阻)
by limited understanding. 3 Here is some of the advice I give my students：
▲Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
▲Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more
times.
▲Do not translate everything into your native language.
▲ 4 Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.
▲Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to
Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating
it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 5 Firstly, translating
creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat
themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much
attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A．What should you do?
B．But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!
C．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners.
D．Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
E．So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.
F．Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.
G．However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.

While it is impossible to live completely free of stress，it is possible to prevent stress
as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided. The US Department of Health
and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.
·Try physical activity.
When you are nervous，angry or upset，try releasing (释放) the pressure through
exercise or physical activities. 1
·Take care of yourself.
You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry
and cannot sleep well enough，or if you are not eating properly，it will be more likely
that you will fall into situations of stress. 2
·Make time for yourself.
3 Don’t forget，play can be just as important as work. You need a break from
your daily routine to just relax and have fun. Go windowshopping or work on a hobby.
Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.
· 4
Stress can result from disorganization(杂乱无章) and a feeling that “there is so much
to do，and not enough time”．Trying to take care of everything at once can be too
much for you and，as a result，you may not achieve anything. Instead，make a list of
everything you have to do，then do one thing at a time. 5 Only in this way will
you finish all you need to do and feel less stressful.
A．Bear in mind the most important task.
B．Schedule time for both work and play.
C．Check off each task as it is completed.
D．Make a list of the things you need to do.
E．For example，you could take your job as your hobby.
F．If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping，you should consult a doctor.
G．Running，walking，or playing tennis are just some of the activities you might try.

In high school，it’s important to stay healthy. 1 How can you study well if you’re
sick? So you should pay attention to your health in order to study well in high school.

drink water when they are extremely thirsty. 2 You should drink water regularly
so that your body and brain can function well. Avoid sports drinks and soda when you
are thirsty. They are not good for your health.
3 Some students don’t eat three meals a day. No matter what happens，you
should not skip any meal of the day. Eating regularly helps keep your metabolism(新
陈代谢)high and keeps your energy up. It’s especially important to eat a good
breakfast every day with protein，carbohydrates(碳水化合物)，and fiber to set up your
body for the day of activity. If you don’t eat，how can you stay focused in class?
Eat the right foods. Some students eat whatever they can get. This is
wrong. 4 Choose whole grains like rice and whole wheat flours. Skip muffins，
donuts，and other processed foods. Instead，choose whole grains，protein，fruits and
vegetables.
5 If you do that，you can get distracted. Therefore，you may not pay attention to
how much you are eating. You may eat too much. Eating too much harms your health.
And you may gain too much weight because of it. Try to eat slowly so your brain
sends the right signals to tell your belly that it’s full.
A．Don’t skip meals.
B．This is bad for your health.
C．Eat a good breakfast every day.
D．Avoid eating too much at one time.
E．Don’t watch TV or movies when you eat.

Vacations are important. We need to take time out from work to relax，and just be
ourselves. 1 We should all be allowed to leave our jobs behind us—at least for a
few weeks each year—and just have fun. This might be something as simple as
reading a good book in front of a warm fireplace through to travelling to the most
interesting places on our planet. Whatever we fancy doing is worth taking time out
for.
Workplace stress is on the rise. 2 These include disease，depression and even
death. We all seem to be running from one place to the next，never finding out where
we want to go in the first place. I intend to break that trend in the coming
days. 3 I will sleep late，write，watch movies，drink the occasional glass of wine，
and eat to my heart’s content ignoring calorie counting. My plan is to just enjoy the
fleeting moments of being alive.
4 Spend your next vacation the way you want. Do what will restore your mental
health. You’re very valuable to the people who are close to you，and to those who
depend on it. Like it or not，we are all interdependent in this great life of ours.
You are valuable. Just remember that the next time you look at the mirror and take a
deep breath. Remind yourself that there will never be anyone like you ever on this
earth again. 5 All you have to do is just ask yourself what you want to do.
A．With it come many health problems.
B．When you finally get home you’ll be greatly refreshed.
C．I challenge each one of you to do the same.
D．Draw up a detailed plan so you can see more.
E．Life is not all about work，or at least it shouldn’t be.
F．And only you know how to vacation your way.
G．For my next holiday，I will do all the things that I love doing.

Do you know how to choose a good book you’ll really like? Here are some tips.
Start With Your Interest. 1 You can choose something you love to read，not for
school. They can be something about cooking，computers，or fashion design.
What’s Your Type? Do you prefer fiction or nonfiction (or both)? Fiction books can
take you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own
experience. Nonfiction books give you the who，what，when，and why of
something. 2 Many of them are interesting from beginning to end.
Read the introductions. The reviews and quotes(引语) in the book may give you an
idea of what the book is about. They can also help you choose future books，too. If
you find a book you really like，take a minute to read the quotes and see which writers
praised the book. 3
Find a Family Favorite. Which book did your mother love best when she was at your
age？ 4 Find out and read them，then your family can share the thoughts about
the book.
Finally，you’ll probably enjoy the book much more if you find a quiet place and make
time for it. 5 But you can also play some good music，get yourself some tea and
let yourself be carried away by the book. You’ll see that time does fly when you’re
reading something you love!
A．They tell stories using facts—but that doesn’t mean they’re boring.
B．Often，they have similar styles and you might find books you like by those writers，
too.
C．Reading is a good way to improve your English.
D．Reading for fun isn’t like reading for school.
E．How about your brothers and sisters?
F．So you should read as much as possible when you are free.
G．Most reading is best enjoyed when you can concentrate on it.

Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals，but not others？If
you aren’t sure，you are far from being alone in your confusion. In fact，decades of
research on achievement suggests that successful people reach their goals not simply
because of who they are，but more often because of what they do. 1
1．Get specific.
When you set yourself a goal，try to be as specific as possible.“Lose 5 pounds” is a
better goal than “lose some weight” because it gives you a clear idea of what success
looks like. 2 Also，think about the specific actions that need to be taken to
reach your goal.
2． 3
Considering how busy most of us are，it’s not surprising that we often miss
opportunities to act on a goal because we simply fail to notice them. Did you really
have no time to work out today？No chance at any point to return that phone call？
Achieving your goal means seizing these opportunities before they slip through your
fingers.
3．Know exactly how far you have left to go.
Achieving any goal also requires honest and regular monitoring(监督)of your
progress—if not by others，then by yourself. If you don’t know how well you are
doing，you can’t adjust your behavior accordingly. 4
It is my hope that you have gained some insight(认识) into all the things you have
been doing right all along. Remember： 5 It’s never what you are，but what you
do.
A．Wait for opportunities to appear.
B．Seize the moment to act on your goals.
C．Here are things successful people do differently.
D．Next I’ll talk about my own experience on how to achieve success.
E．You don’t need to become a different person to become a more successful one.
F．Check your progress frequently—weekly，or even daily，depending on the goal.
G．Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get
there.

Mobile Phones: Hang Up or Keep talking?
Millions of people are using mobile phones today. In many places, it is actually
considered unusual not to have one. 1 They found that the phones are more than a
means of communication — having a mobile phone shows that they’re cool and
connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals
worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health
problems from the use of mobile phones. Mobile phone companies are worried about
the negative publicity (负面报道) of such ideas. 2
On the other hand, signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected
with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a
young age because of serious memory loss. 3 This man used to talk on his mobile
phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years.
4 The answer is radiation. High–tech machines can detect very small amounts of
radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some
radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones
less often. 5 Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. In the future,
mobile phones may have a warning label that says they’re bad for your health. So for
now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
A. They will possibly affect their benefits.
B. In many countries, mobile phones are very popular with young people.
C. What do the doctors worry about?
D. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful?
E. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for people’s health.
F. He couldn’t remember even simple tasks.
G. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time.

delinquency has been increasing.There are two main sorts of juvenile crime：stealing
and violence.__2__ There are，I think，a large number of different reasons.
These crimes are not usually committed by people who are poor or in need.Young
people often dislike and resent the adult world.__3__ Also in Britain today it is easier
for young people to commit crimes because they have more freedom to go where they
like and more money to do what they like.
There are two other possible causes which are worth mentioning.More and more
people in Britain live in large towns.__4__ But in the village I come from crimes are
rare because everybody knows everyone else.
Although it is difficult to explain，I think the last cause is very important.Perhaps
there is something wrong with our society which encourages violence and crime.It is a
fact that all the time children are exposed to films and reports about crime and
violence.__5__ But I think that young people are very much influenced by the society
they grow up in.I feel that the fault may be as much with our whole society as with
these young people.
A．Many people do not agree that this influences young people.
B．They will do things to show that they are rebels.
C．Crime is a serious problem in Britain.
D．They wanted to show their ability and get fame.
E．Most people do not understand why young people commit these crimes.
F．In a large town or city there are more people than in villages.
G．In a large town no one knows who anyone else is or where they live.
