26、 On Aug 12, as white nationalists clashed with anti-racists over whether a statue of a leader in the American Civil war should be removed from a park in Charlottesville, a speeding car drove into the crowd, killing one and injuring dozens of others, reported The Washington Post.
The car driver was a 20-year-old white nationalist. Actually many of the white nationalists were young men. Some may wonder how the younger generation could have become caught up in racism, yet it’s believed that racist groups are using modern techniques to appeal to them. “Younger people have access to many more forms of information than ever before inhuman history—socialmedia.” Oren Segal, director of the anti-defamation(诽谤) league’s Center on Extremism in the US, told Newsweek.
According to Segal, racist groups introduce people to “hate” by finding ways to communicate with them online. And Paul Becker, a sociology professor at the University of Dayton, US, believes that some young people may even be using this to fill a “void(空虚感)” in their life. “These groups provide a place to belong, and give their lives a goal or purpose,”he told The Atlanta.Journal-Constitution.
Meanwhile, the changing of the US population structure is causing concern for some people after experts predicted that minority groups in the US could become the majority by 2050, leading to dissatisfaction and anger, according to Newsweek.
The problem of racism has been on the rise in the US for some time. According to a Gallup poll in March, 42 percent of Americans worry a great deal about race relations, while the figure was only 13 percent in 2010.
But like most problems, it’s unlikely to be solved overnight. “Even the best policy won’t stop every attack. But they could, at the very least, help make events like Charlottesville less likely,” wrote Vox.
【1】Which statement is NOT why racism in the US is going from bad to worse?
A.The statue of a leader in the American Civil war is to be removed from a park.
B.Participation of racism may give the racists a purpose and a sense of belonging.
C.Minority groups may compose a larger partof the population in less than 40 years.
D.The advance of technology is making it easier for more people to get involved in racism.
【2】What might Paul Becker agree with?
A.Certain social media should be cut off from young people.
B.It’s common for the young in the US to feel empty and aimless.
C.Involvement in racism gives some young people a purpose.
D.The Internet plays a positive role in keeping the young free from racism.
【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.It’s impossible to stop racism.
B.Efforts should be made to solve racism in a short time.
C.Policies can contribute to the decrease of racial problems.
D.Events like Charlottesville are caused by drawbacks of policies.
27、 Why do some people enjoy more health and happiness than others? It seems that they are able to realize their dreams rapidly. The good news is that you can be one of those people. 【1】 Now consider the following habits of exceptionally happy people from my book Find Your Happy.
Make themselves available to success. Happy people are great goal setters. 【2】
This allows them to stand out in different areas of their life. Ask yourself if you are open for opportunities and setting big goals.
Don't use the word luck. When you look at an exceptionally happy person, you may say, "They are so lucky." But a conversation with them will reveal that luck is not in their vocabulary. Instead, they believe that passion and persistence (坚持不懈) equals great results.
【3】 Exceptionally happy people are busy making their goals come true. They understand that spending time arguing with others takes them away from what they care about most. They love hearing people talk about their views, but happy people won't spend time trying to convince you to adopt their beliefs.
Walk out of their comfort zone and seek risk often. 【4】 So they ask for adventure and satisfaction through seeking new experiences. They see risk as growth and are happier because they live a life with no regrets.
【5】 Happy people don't spend a lot of time thinking about happiness. They live in the moment and enjoy the ups and downs of life. Happy people still experience setbacks, but they look at those setbacks as a way to learn more about themselves and to grow. Happiness is not something they seek, as it is a daily practice that never leaves them.
A. Try to be more patient.
B. Don't try to make you win over with debates.
C. Realize there is more to life than being happy.
D. I know this is true from personal experience.
E. They work toward their goals daily and see opportunities in everything.
F. Happy people have learned that settling in any area of life will hold them back.
G. Happiness is available, especially when you understand what happiness is.

The major reason for that is related to human biological needs.When you're a baby, you're 75 percent water.Then, as the years get higher, you get drier.【2】 It helps you lose weight, according to a study from the University of Birmingham.
The researchers found that drinking 500 ml of water thirty minutes before a meal helped participants lose 10 more pounds than those who did not.【3】 All participants were advised to improve their diet and physical activity levels.84 overweight adults were involved.Among them 41 were told to “preload” with water, while 43 were told to control their water intake before eating.After 12 weeks, the participants instructed to “preload” with water lost 2.87 pounds more than those in the control group on average.In addition, the participants preloading with water before each of their three main meals every day lost 9.48 pounds over the 12 weeks.【4】
Dr.Helen Parretti, a lecturer at the University of Birmingham, had this to say of the study: 【5】Just drinking 500 ml of water, three times a day, before your main meals may help reduce your weight...and this could be an easy way for weight loss. Furthermore, it can be significant for an individual to lose extra weight, making a potential contribution to public health.

29、 I grew up 3 hours outside of Pittsburgh, with my mother and 3 younger brothers and sisters. My mom was a single mother and worked a minimum wage job, so we never had much, but that was OK, we made ends meet anyhow.
In Senior 1, I started saving money for college by taking a part-time job. I was accepted into the University of Pittsburgh and received some scholarships. But I couldn’t afford the housing because it was way too expensive for me. As result, put mattress (床垫) in an old van (货车) and had the windows painted. I bought parking pass on campus, chose spot on the top level of the parking garage and lived there for the next 2 years.
The weather in Pittsburgh was bad Being homeless forced me to take advantage of everything the campus had to offer since I wanted to spend as little time in my van as possible. I ended up spending most of my time throughout the week at the library and studying and reviewing classroom material a lot more than I would have if I had the luxury of going home and turning on the TV or falling asleep for hours in my room. I got close to some of my professors because of visiting them often, which really helped me become outstanding among my classmates. I made lot of new friends by attending social events, plays, charities, student life events around campus too.
Before college I would have considered myself shy, I didn’t really speak much unless spoken to, but I move out of my comfort zone and do new things, then develop an outgoing personality.
I really think that having to deal with the struggles that I had to go through really made me a better person.
