Peter was the best table tennis player in his school and hardly ever lost a match. He hated losing anything. When he won, he would feel really good. If he lost, he would feel terrible. It seemed to Peter that losing was the worst thing in the world.

A new kid, Albert, came to Peter’s school. He was good at table tennis, too. Soon there would be a match between Peter and Albert. Peter worked hard to get ready for the match, but Albert didn’t seem to think much of it. When the match began, Albert was a real player.

Night Milk and Sleep

A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off — if it is milked from a cow at night.

Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.

The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night. Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

1.What does the phrase ‘nod off’ in the first paragraph mean?

A. Try to keep awake.

B. Try to sleep a longer time.

C. Change from being awake to a sleeping state.

D. Change from a sleeping state to being awake.

2.According to the text, the mice being fed with night time milk _________.

A. woke up later　　 B. were more anxious

C. were less active　　 D. could not sleep well

3.Why do lots of people think milk is excellent for helping sleep?

A. Because many people like drinking milk.

B. Because it’s been tested on mice ten times.

C. Because it can make people more energetic.

D. Because it contains calcium, which helps people to relax.

In 2013 alone at least 20,000 African elephants were killed for their teeth. In South Africa over the last two years more than 2,200 rhinos were killed for their horns. These numbers are alarming, because current rates of illegal hunting are faster than birth rates, which could lead to extinction for these ecologically important creatures in their environment. Indeed, some elephant and rhino populations are on track to be locally extinct within the next decade.

If you are reading this, you may already be aware of these facts. But you might not know that wildlife trafficking (走私) not only threatens the existence of elephants and rhinos but is also leading to extinction of other species, such as tigers, tortoises, sea turtles — and the world’s most trafficked mammal(哺乳动物) — pangolins.

Pangolins are the only mammals that are entirely covered in tough scales(鳞), which makes them look very strong. But actually they are endangered mammals. There are eight different kinds of pangolins, four in Asia and four in Africa, and all are threatened with extinction. Although pangolins are protected throughout most of the countries where they live, high demand in East Asia, where the delicious pangolin meat is considered a delicacy and where their scales are used in traditional medicines, is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts. The number of pangolin trafficking is shocking. Experts believe that over the last 10 years more than 1 million pangolins were taken from the wild. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 81,250 pangolins were killed for the illegal trade in 2013 alone.

In February, the United States released a plan to deal with wildlife trafficking, which lays out the steps we will take to fight the illegal trade in wildlife, including pangolins. We are strengthening the carrying out of the plan, building international cooperation and contribution to protect wildlife, raising awareness to drive down the demand that is fuelling the illegal trade.

Get involved and remember World Wildlife Day (March 3) by spreading the plan. Use social media and tell everyone that now is the time to get serious about wildlife crime and end the demand that threatens species, big and small, from the huge elephant to the shy pangolin.

1.How many rhinos were killed in South Africa during the last two years?

A. More than 81,250.　　 B. More than 20,000.

C. More than 2,200.　　 D. More than 40,000.

2.How many kinds of pangolins are there in Asia?

A. Ten.　　 B. Four.　　 C. Six.　　 D. Eight.

3.What does the phrase ‘carrying out’ mean in the fourth paragraph?

A. Putting the plan into effect.　　 B. Moving the plan to a place.

C. Making a new plan.　　 D. Taking the plan with you.

4.What does the writer want us to know after reading the passage?

A. Protecting wild animals is our duty.

B. Something about World Wildlife Day.

C. Something about illegal trade in East Asia.

D. Wild animals are in danger and we must get involved.

Building Your Business, Building Your People

What an exciting thing to do — developing a successful business! I’m reminded every day of some important ideas for progress. Here are some ideas to keep in mind that can make a significant difference in a team:

Understand your people

If I want my team to go and grow with me, I need to find out what excites them. What do they need in their work environment to improve their mental well-being? What are their fears and concerns, and how can I help them manage these fears and concerns? What are their values and goals?

Help people build self-confidence

During my early years in management, I realized the great power of expectations. As I found, people largely lived up to my expectation of them. So I learned that if I want to build my business through my people, I have to build their own belief in their ability to achieve. This belief must be educated. If I want them to achieve more, I must help them build their trust in themselves first.

Develop people’s recognition (认可)

Whenever I speak and give advice to people, they tell me they don’t get enough recognition. Sad, isn’t it? But how much recognition do they give to others? In fact, recognition could be developed by praising and appreciating each other in a team. Encourage everyone in your team to recognize achievements in others. Teach your team to ask for the opinions of others if they’re not receiving recognition.

Encourage people to be creative

We have created our life just the way we choose to have it, or at least the way we’ve settled for it. Those who have been told they are creative will probably use their creativity bravely. Others who haven’t had their creativity encouraged will mostly believe they are uncreative. I suggest you encourage your people to be creative and brave in trying out new ideas.

1.How many pieces of advice does the writer give to build your business?

2.What do you need to do if you want your team to go and grow with you?

3.Is it important to help people build self-confidence in your business?

4.How did the writer develop his people’s recognition in the team?

5.What can we learn from the writer according to his experience?
