1、 Have you ever complained( 抱 怨 )why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your lessons sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you will find the whole world smiling to you
一个晴朗的早上,你计划散散步来放松自己。Just before you go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start to complain about the weather. But dear friends, why not sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature brings you? And with the timely rain, crops (庄稼)in the field will grow better and farmers will have a good harvest(收获).
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do. Life isn’t a bed of roses, then, it's very common to meet difficulties on the way to success. In fact, difficulty isn't terrible. The real terrible thing is that we are afraid of it. Difficulty is like a spring (弹簧).If you are weak, it will be strong. So when you meet difficulties, don’t give up.相反,你应该微笑着面对困难。Attitude decides everything. With an optimistic(乐观的) attitude, life is easy and pleasant. If you want to be happy, try to remember these five easy rules. Free your heart from hate; Free your mind from worries:
Live an easy life; Give more; Expect less. The quickest way to receive happiness is to smile. The fastest way to lose it is to complain.

24、Do you get enough sleep? With so much homework, it’s often difficult to get the rest you need. But you need to try, because sleep keeps you healthy and it stops you getting fat.
Recently, a group of US scientists did a study of kids aged between 8 and 13. The studt found that if kids sleep for just one extra hour each day, the chance of their getting fat is cut by about 30%.

25、
You have to be careful when throwing away wet waste, which may include food or other kinds of rubbish. Maybe these kinds of waste have made a big mess when you’ve thrown them away before.
Shi Yuan, 14, from Shanghai Wenlai Middle School, has made a special bag to solve this problem. The plastic bag has a piece of adhesive tape (粘贴带).When one end of the tape is open, the bag can be turned upside down. You can hold the bottom end and easily throw wet waste into a bin.
Shi came up with the idea after an unpleasant experience in which he got wet waste all over his trousers while throwing it away. He found that many other people had the same problem. He decided to solve this problem and invented his special bag.
He first thought about using a gunny sack (麻布袋) to make the bag or placing a bag on his rubbish bin. But neither of these ideas worked. So he decided to just create his own rubbish bag. “I didn’t want to put any extra burden (额外的负担) on the bag, so I used adhesive tape,” Shi said.
However, the first bag was a one-off (一次性) product and wasn’t good for the environment. So Shi kept on improving his bag. He remembered reading about the adhesive used for Post-it notes (便利贴). Shi thought this weak glue could be used for the adhesive tape and allow the rubbish bag to be reused.
Shi’s bag has become popular in many communities. Many people think it’s very convenient. He has already sold 2 million bags online. His father is quite proud of him.
“Kids like to play. Shi just changed the way he plays and put in more effort to find a way to make life easier,” Shi’s father said.
【1】Shi’s bag is used for ________.
A.throwing away wet waste B.cleaning rubbish bins
C.finding one-off products D.throwing away plastic
【2】We can know ________ according to Paragraph 5.
A.how Shi’s bag helped with his problem
B.why Shi’s bag is better than common bags
C.why Shi used a gunny sack to make the bag
D.how Shi made his bag good for the environment
【3】What do people think of Shi’s bag?
A.Expensive. B.Difficult. C.Convenient. D.Useless
【4】Which one is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Shi comes from Beijing Wenlai Middle School.
B.Shi’s idea came from his unpleasant experience.
C.Shi has already sold 3 million bags on the Internet.
D.Shi’s first bag was really good for the environment.
【5】What do we know about Shi from the story?
A.He won a prize for his own creation. B.He likes to play rather than study.

Later on, it was easier, because scientists had telescopes. They could see Mars more clearly. They learned much more about Mars this way.
In the 20th century things got even better. First of all, we had spacecraft (宇宙飞船).They flew close to Mars and sent back information. Then, they sent spacecraft to fly in orbit (轨道) around Mars. Finally, spacecraft landed on Mars. Maybe one day a man will walk on Mars.
A man named Jamie works for NASA with the team sending a spacecraft to Mars. "We landed a rover (探测车) on Mars" he says. "It is called Curiosity."

Friends are important in our life, because no one wants to be lonely. However, some people have difficulty 【1】 (make) friends and they often feel lonely. What’s the reason behind that? 【2】to a new study from Chicago University, the reason is that this kind of people have brains different 【3】common people.

Does that mean they have no way to become happy again? No, don’t worry. Scientists of this study have 【5】(think) up ways to help these people deal with their loneliness. They provided four steps for 【6】 (get) out of loneliness.
The first step is to accept social invitations even if you don’t want to go.
“It’s not enough for people just to get in 【7】 /tʌtʃ/ with others online. That’s because most people don’t show their true selves there,” said Dr. Cacioppo, one of this study’s scientists. Another step is to get an action plan. As “ actions speak【8】 (loud) than words”, people need to be active to 【9】 /kəˈmjuːnɪkeɪt/ with others. They also need to meet people with the same interests. Also, they should try to expect the best from each activity. After all, “tomorrow is【10】 [əˈnʌðə] day”.
