I was always tired at school, because I used to stay up late watching TV. I even fell asleep one day in my history class, and when I woke up, the teacher was looking at me and laughing! I decided that minute to start going to bed on time. It’s kind of a drag missing the shows I like, but I can tell my body loves it – I feel so much better!

Advice for Graduates
Thank you for letting me share this wonderful day with you. The next part of my speech consists of some advice, which is rarely valued, seldom remembered, never followed. As Oscar Wilde said, 1. So, here comes the advice.
First, every time you celebrate an achievement, 2. Thank your parents and friends who supported you, thank your professors who were inspirational, and especially thank the other professors whose less-than brilliant lectures forced you to teach yourself. To your fellow students who have added immeasurably to your education during those late night discussions, hug them.
Second, in your future life, cultivate a generous spirit. 3. Leave the change on the table. In a successful cooperation, everybody gets 90 percent of the profit.
My third piece of advice is as follows: As you begin this new stage of your lives, follow your passion. If you don’t have a passion，don’t be satisfied until you find one. 4. When I was your age, I was incredibly single-minded in my goal to be a physicist. After college, I spent eight years as a graduate student and postdoc at Berkeley, and then nine years at Bell Labs. During that my time, my central focus and professional joy was physics.
Here is my final advice. Pursuing a personal passion is important, but it should not be your only goal. When you are old and gray, and look back on your life, you will want to be proud of what you have done. The source of that pride won’t be the things you have acquired or the recognition you have received. 5.
A.It will be the lives you have touched and the difference you have made.
B.In all negotiations, don’t bargain for the last, little advantage.
C.“I like to do all the talking myself. It saves time, and prevents arguments.”
D.“The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself.”
E.Life is too short to go through it without caring deeply about something.
F.be thankful to those who made it possible.
G.Change your manners when you are dealing with others.

You're at dinner with your friends on Sunday and the waiter comes up to you and says, “Is this going to be on one check or?”
“Separate!” you all said, barely taking a breath to pause from your conversation.
And why would you? It's pretty usual to pay for your own meal, or to go Dutch.
But it wasn't always the custom to split the check when going out with friends. In fact, in early English society, it was seen as selfish to invite someone out to eat and not pay for their meal. The origins of the phrase "going Dutch" are a little complicated, but Steven Pincus, a historian from the University of Chicago who focuses on early modern Europe, helped us track the complex history of this idiom.
We have to take it back all the way to the 1600s. During the Anglo-Dutch Wars, there were multiple conflicts between the English and the Dutch over trade and naval power. That led to a rise in idioms from the English regarding their enemy, the Dutch: phrases like "Dutch courage," the false courage brought on by alcohol; or "Dutch reckoning," which is a ridiculously high bill on which you've likely been cheated. This was because the English saw the Dutch not only as a trading enemy,but also as a people with questionable morals. The English "claimed that the Dutch had been completely corrupted by their commitment to capitalism." (Funny how tides change, isn't it?)of course, as time changes, so does our sense of self. After all, who wants to pay for their friends' meals all the time? Maybe sometimes it's all right to do like the Dutch do.
1.What did people once do in English history if they dined out with friends?
A.They split the check. B.The inviter paid for the meal.
C.They paid for their meals in turn. D.one of the guests paid for the meal.
2.What does the author say about the idioms containing the word "Dutch”？
A.They show respect to the Dutch. B.They do harm to English language.
C.They are associated with money. D.They mean something dishonorable.
3.The purpose of the text is to explain
A.the English table manners B.the England and Dutch relationship
C.the origin of some English phrases D.the change in English history

I’d like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn’t understand it. I didn’t like him anymore.
I hadn’t thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal.
Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend’s wife had just left him.
We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can’t be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.
If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn’t seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.
1.The incident that happened when the author was four______.
A. hurt the author’s feeling deeply
B. has puzzled the author ever since
C. left a deep impression on the author
D. made the author dislike dogs
2.What made the author think about the story of about 20 years ago?
A. His friend’s attitude.
B. The photo of the dog.
C. His father’s wound.
D. His friend’s suffering.
3.The author's friend said harsh words to the author because______.
A. he was bad-tempered
B. he was suffering the pain of losing his wife
C. he was bothered by an unexpected visit
D. they once quarreled and he couldn’t forgive the author
4.What conclusion did the author get from the two stories?
A. Misunderstanding should be removed in time.
B. Sometimes one will be hurt without any reason.
C. Many people think more of themselves and less of others.
D. Many factors will affect one’s behavior.
5.What’s the author’s advice to us?
A. Help those in need.
B. Look before you leap.
C. Learn to understand others.
D. Tolerance is a kind of virtue.
