26、How to Trick or Treat
The jack-o-lanterns are carved,your costume（服装）is all picked out,and the sun is just starting to set on Halloween night.【1】With a few simple tips,you can have a safe and successful trick-or-treat experience.
Start trick-or-treat at around 6:00 or 6:30 pm.You’ll probably want to start trick-or-treat as soon as you get home from school,but be patient!Have a good dinner to fuel you up for the night,and wait until the sun starts to get a little lower before you head out.【2】
Wear or make a costume that you can move in easily.When you are deciding what to dress up as,choose a costume that doesn’t drag on the ground.Make sure your shoes are comfortable,too-you’ll be walking around in them all night!【3】Go with face paint instead!
Knock on the door or ring the doorbell.If no one answers your knock after a minute or so,you can try one more time.【4】It might feel a little disappointing,but you’ll save time and get more candy if you move on fast.
【5】After you’ve gotten your candy,look up and say“Thank you!Happy Halloween!”This shows that you’re polite and appreciative,and is especially important if you decide to come back next year.They might remember you and give you an extra piece!
A.Go in a group with two or more friends.

27、 Our body’s response is an important part of an emotional reaction to any event. If you’ve been criticized in public and found your face heated and your heart pounding, you’ve experienced your body’s reaction to shame.
Sometimes what you’re feeling is clear and consistent with what you’re saying. You might say “welcome” as you greet a guest with a smile. But at other times, we mask our emotions from the people around us. There are many reasons to hide how you’re feeling. You don’t want to rock the boat in a strict teachers class or you don’t want to hurt a friend’s feelings. You simply want to smooth situations over.
Even when you don’t communicate your feelings in spoken words, you may still be giving information with your body. Arms across your chest when you approach that new teacher? Looking down when you speak to your friend? These gestures are all important expressions of an emotion. Try understanding what others are communicating with their bodies. Notice things like eye contact, rate of speech and posture. How does their verbal communication match their body language? How about you? Try tuning in to your own body. How do you think others see you? Is that consistent with how you feel? Is it how you want to feel?
Body language communication is a two-way street. It communicates to others what you are feeling, but it also has a powerful effect on your own emotional state. Changing your body and posture can affect how you feel. Sit up in the meeting and you might find yourself more focused. Take a deep breath and you feel less anxious.
The body and your body language is a great field to dig into, especially if hiding how you feel has become habitual for you. Over time, if you become practiced in hiding your feelings, you may begin to hide them from yourself, too. Then the consequence can be losing contact with your own emotions. That’s actually harmful to your mental health.

28、When is the correct time to use the article (冠词) “a” and “an”? We know “a bike” and “an apple”. But is it “a URL” or “an URL”? What exactly is the rule? Despite the confusion on when to use these two words, the rule regarding their use is actually quite simple.
The basic rule for using “a” in a sentence is: Use “a” before words, or letters that begin with a sound of a consonant (辅音字母), regardless of their spelling, such as a dog, a university, a CBS news report.
The important part is the sound of the word that follows, not necessarily the letter with which it starts. The above examples have words that begin with vowels (元音字母) and consonants, but we use “a” for all of them because they begin with the sound of a consonant.
“An” is used before words, or letters that begin with a vowel sound, regardless of their spelling, such as an idea, an honor, an HTML document.
The rule only becomes tricky when you have a vowel with a consonant sound or a consonant with a vowel sound. When you come across these, ignore what the first letter is and just listen to the sound that it makes.
What if an adjective (形容词) is added in front of a noun (名词)? Some people aren’t sure how to apply this rule when an adjective appears before the noun being referred to. The same rule still applies. “A” is used before words starting in consonant sounds and “an” is used before words starting with vowel sounds. It doesn’t matter if the word is an adjective, a noun, or anything else; the rule is exactly the same.
【1】What’s the purpose of paragraph 1?
A．To bring up the topic.
B．To bring forward a suggestion.
C．To explain the importance of rules.
D．To tell the background of the text.
【2】What determines the choice between “a” and “an”?
A．The first letter of the noun.
B．The spellings of the noun.
C．The first letter after them.
D．The first sound after them.
【3】What can be learnt about the rule mentioned in the text?
A．It varies from context to context.
B．It confuses only native speakers.
C．It is simple but sometimes tricky.
D．It is not in common use grammatically.
【4】How is the text mainly developed?
A．By making comparisons.
B．By giving explanations and examples.
C．By applying previous data.
D．By bringing out the facts and reasons.
29、Building the thinking habit is important because it helps you live with a purpose. How can we build the thinking habit? Here are some tips.
Be curious
Curiosity is powerful. 【1】 It also helps you recognize the ideas when they come. Curiosity is an important attitude to have in building the thinking habit.
Read widely
If you want to come up with good ideas, you need to feed your mind with good ideas. 【2】This will give you fresh, new ideas. Don’t just read from the fields you are familiar with. Read from other fields as well.
Read actively
Not only should you read widely, but also you should read actively. Find some ideas and think about how you can use them. My favorite way to do this is by highlighting the book I read. I will then put the actionable ideas in my idea journal (笔记). 【3】
Keep an idea journal
When you find a good idea, don’t just keep it in your mind. Instead, write it down to catch the idea. 【4】 Keeping an idea journal makes you more sensitive to new ideas. You will quickly recognize them because you already have the habit of catching ideas.
【5】
Of course, it doesn’t do you much good if you just write down ideas. Take time to read these ideas every now and then. In my case, I mark the ideas that I consider important and review them regularly. This often opens the way to new ideas.
A．Design your own ideas
B．Go over your ideas
C．In this way, others can also benefit from your ideas.
D．One way to do that is to read.
E．Otherwise, the idea might be gone forever.
F．It makes you like finding new ideas.
G．This helps me get the most out of the book.
