You need to remember some phone numbers in case you lose your cell phone, or it can’t be used. So, along with the obvious emergency numbers (紧急号码), you should have a friend or two that you can call if you run into difficulty. If you can, try and have these numbers of people who live next to your house. 5.And as a result she may not be able to help you at all.

Sometimes life can seem challenging (挑战的) and we usually get the feeling of “the grass on the other side is always greener”! We usually feel upset with the troubles that life throws at us.

The best thing to do at that point of time is to close our eyes and start counting of all the blessings in life that God has given us.

If we think deeply, our life is full of blessings that we hardly recognize. Listening to the singing of birds early in the morning, we realize that there are many people who spend their life in a world that is silent while many others spend their lives in a world that is dark and may have never seen a rainbow or the setting sun.

When you go out for a drive, pull down the window and look at the poor beggar standing under the hot sun, begging for filling his hungry stomach. We get three meals a day without realizing its importance. Isn’t that a blessing?

Whenever you are sad, look at the eyes of your parents and family filled with love and concern for you. There are many people who have never experienced the love of a family. Isn’t that a blessing?

As Mother Teresa once said, “We don’t need to do great things. We need to do small things with great love”.

The key to a happy life is when we consider others problems to be our own and try to help them. When we love people without any expectations and help them, our heart is filled with a sense of happiness and peace seeing the smile on their face.

So the next time whenever life knocks you down, close your eyes and…start counting!

1.What does the author intend to tell us?

A.True happiness lies in achieving wealth.

B.Blessings should be treasured in our life.

A.however happy we are, we never seem to be satisfied

B.though we are rich, we are poor in mind

C.we can have a better life if we work harder

D.there exists a greener grass on the other side

3.What can be learned from the text?

A.We have already known that life is filled with blessings.

B.It is a blessing to have three meals a day.

C.It’s natural to see a rainbow or the setting sun in life.

The beach may seem like an inviting place to run on a cool summer morning, but is running on the sand good for your body? It can be, but it’s important to be aware of the challenges that some beach runners experience before you get ready.

Running on the beach can be a good thing. It’s certainly different from running on a track or a pavement. For starters, sand can be a challenge because it has an uneven (不平坦的) surface. As you push off, you’re going to lose some of your push as the sand moves. So, you’re not going to be able to push yourself forward as you would on a track or a pavement. But this unevenness has an upside: It gives your body an extra workout, forcing you to exercise muscles that don’t get as much use during runs on firm surfaces. For example, your feet, ankles and lower back might feel sorer and more tired than usual after a beach run just because the surface is constantly moving and changing step to step.

You also might feel sore afterward because beaches tend to slope (倾斜) down to the water. If you’re going for a long run on the beach, you might notice that one side of your body might feel sorer because you’re putting more pressure on it due to the slope.

Some beach runners prefer to run barefoot — not wearing anything on feet. However, if you’re not used to barefoot running, start slowly and don’t run long distances at first. That’s because running barefoot uses more different muscles than running with shoes does, and it’s important to strengthen these muscles and adapt your feet. If you want to run barefoot and as long as you run carefully enough into it, go for it!

Running on the sand can be a smart choice for you, because running on softer ground surfaces can reduce muscle damage.

1.Why is it difficult to run on the beach for starters?

A.The soft surface makes people fall over easily.

B.People need to run carefully on its smooth surface.

C.Running on its uneven surface takes much effort.

D.It’s hard to keep one’s balance on its hard surface.

2.Which of the following best explains “upside” underlined in Paragraph 2?

A.Advantage. B.Reason.

C.Character. D.Challenge.

3.What’s the author’s attitude to barefoot running?

A.Critical. B.Supportive. C.Doubtful. D.Uncaring.

4.The passage can probably be found in ______.

A.A primary school textbook B.A tourist guide

C.A sports magazine D.A scientific report

Like many other places in the world, recently, Indiana education officials decided that the schools of the state will not be required to teach handwriting skills to students any longer. Instead, they will focus their energies on teaching students how to type. Is handwriting still an important skill? An online survey received some surprising responses.

Handwriting is not necessary. Students only need to know how to read it, and the only time that they must write something is to make a signature. Why stress them more than they need to be stressed? We already put so much pressure on them to perform on state tests. —Rita

Children don’t write letters now. They send e-mails or text messages. A lot of those old ways are going away. How many bills do you pay by writing a check anymore? —Brown

Although my son is not comfortable with writing, I bought a workbook for him to practice his handwriting. Can you imagine being an adult and not being able to sign a document? —Susan

The school where I worked dropped handwriting several years ago. Unless the students have computers in class, they will not be able to take notes at high speed. I have to speak very slowly and stop after a sentence or two because many students write very slowly. —Helen

The same thing happened here in Tennessee this past year. I think it’s a shame. I just received a handwritten letter from my stepmother and it meant that she spent time sitting and writing. Such a letter brought me a good feeling. —Kathy

Children should still learn writing, for the sake of having a skill that all people can communicate with. I certainly appreciate a handwritten note of thanks or news from my children and grandchildren. —Ruth

Time is time， no matter where we are in the world． However， it seems like whenever we wait for a friend to get ready， five minutes can seem like a whole day． And meanwhile， a really interesting two﹣hour movie may feel like it only lasted a few minutes． So， how is it that time doesn't always seem to follow the same rules？ What actually affects（ 影响）our feeling of time？

According to a new study published in the journal Nature in August， the differences in how we sense time come from a"clock？ inside our brain． However， the brains clock， controlled by a network of brain cells， gets its sense of time from our experiences and memories， reported Medical News Today． So， unlike regular clocks， our brain forms a " subjective（主观的） time coming from the ongoing flow of experience，" Edvard Moser， director of the Kavli Institute based at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology， explained in Neuroscience News．

To examine the activity of this network， a team of scientists at the Kavli Institute studied the brain activity of rats for several hours， during which time the rats were required to complete a series of activities． According to Neuroscience News， it was found that when the rats carried out any repetitive（重复的）activities， the brain network became more precise． It matched the actual time of day． On the other hand， when they took part in any exciting experiences the brain network didn't rely on real time markers． This led to time passing unconsciously（无意识地）．

According to Moser， to speed up or slow down the brain's clock depends on whether the brain simply judges time based on experiences it processes（加工）． "If we change what we are doing， we also change our experience of time， he told the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation． " It's not about clock time but about our subjective feeling of time．

1.The author gives the examples in paragraph 1mainly to show　　　 　．

A. time is sometimes changed depending on where we are

B. five minutes sometimes is equal to a whole day

C. an interesting two﹣hour movie actually lasts less than two hours

D. time doesn't always seem to go on a regular basis

2.According to Moser， the brain's clock is affected by　　　 　．

A. regular clock time

B. personal experiences

C. physical health

D. the number of activities

3.The text is mainly about　　　 　．

A. how to judge time

B. how to value time

C. how our brain works

D. how our brain senses time
