It is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.
How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs(破坏、毁灭)you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive (有建设性的)tools, you are going to be built up on them.
Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.
Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.

When I first saw the book Alice in Lace, I thought I was going to like it. And as it turned out, I love it! I love books about life and being a kid. And Alice in Lace is just that kind. It’s a humorous book about being thirteen and the problems kids might face. Alice and her friends get a strange assignment from their totally cool teacher, Mr. Everett. It was like playing the game of “Life,” but you had to act it out.
So Pamela is pregnant, Elizabeth buys a car and Alice gets married. Well, of course, Pamela wasn’t really pregnant, but she walked around with a pillow under her shirt to get people’s reactions. Elizabeth didn’t really buy a car, but she went to the car lot and made the sales guy think she was. The whole class got assignments like these! I would love to do something like that for school.
In the book Alice has a lot to think about. “Getting married is hard!” Alice says. She has to plan the ceremony, the honeymoon, find a place to live, pay for furniture and two months’ rent and food. Maybe she and her “husband” could work it out — if they were getting on fine!
Although this book was funny, it really made me think about how problems like these could really mess up your life. Take teenage pregnancy for example. How could you have a baby and stay in school? You couldn’t find a babysitter every day to stay with your kid. A child really consumes your life. I understand what the teacher was trying to do. He was trying to discourage the class from getting into these problems by giving them a glimpse of life. As someone about to become a teenager myself, I can say sometimes a story makes you think about what’s up ahead.
Overall, I would say this book is wonderful. My favorite part of the book is discovering that if I like it, there are seven other Alice books I can check out at my local library. I love this book, and I hope you will too.
1.We can infer from the passage that Pamela, Elizabeth and Alice _______.
A.turn out to be the author’s classmates
B.are characters in Alice in Lace
C.get along quite well
D.become dismissed from school
2.By saying “getting married is hard” in the paragraph 3, Alice means ______.
A.life isn’t easy as expected
B.it is hard to deal with her husband
C.she regrets getting married
D.it’s fun to get married
3.Why did Mr. Everett give his students such assignments?
A.To encourage them to enjoy a meaningful life.
B.To prevent them getting into those troubles at an early age.
C.To make them realize the hardship of life.
D.To teach them how to make a living.
4.The author writes the passage mainly to _____.
A.advise us to buy Alice in Lace
B.tell us how wonderful Mr. Everett’s idea is
C.share her inspiration from Alice in Lace
D.show off her reading ability

Nuclear power's(核能的) danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be described in one word: radiation(辐射).
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected (探测) by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells (细胞) in important organs (器官). But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治疗) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.
1.According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in ________.
A. nuclear mystery B. radiation detection
C. radiation level D. nuclear radiation
2.Radiation can lead to serious results even at the lowest level ________.
A. when it kills few cells
B. if it damages few cells
C. though the damaged cells can repair themselves
D. unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves
3.Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can ________.
A. kill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediately
B. damage cells which may grow into cancer years later
C. affect the healthy growth of our younger generation
D. lead to all of the above results
4.Which of the following can be best inferred from the passage?
A. The importance of protection from radiation cannot be overemphasized (过分强调).
B. The mystery about radiation remains unsolved.
C. Cancer is mainly caused by radiation.
D. Radiation can hurt those who do not know about its danger.

Nuclear power’s danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.

Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no levels of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious.

In life, we're often torn between the person we want to be and the person we ought to be. Yet, while many hesitate to take the risks of becoming their "ideal self', a new study shows that people regret not running after their passion.
Inspired by research published in the 1990s, psychologist Thomas Gilovich along with his colleague built upon his original study, which proved that regrets came from what people hadn't done, by looking into the content of people's most enduring regrets grown from not living up to our "ideal self", as opposed to not living according to our "ought self".
Researchers began by explaining the difference between regrets concerning the "ideal self" and the "ought self", before asking participants to list their regrets. Across the six different studies conducted as part of this project, participants said they experienced regrets concerning their ideal self more often. They also mentioned more ideal-self regrets than ought-self regrets when asked to list their regrets in life so far.
"Our work is the first to show that people's biggest life regrets more often involve failures to live up to their ideal self than their ought self," the researchers said. They advise that people go on with caution, as the best way to live depends on how much weight you place on your ought self and your ideal self. If you care more about your ought self, you'll be wise to minimize your regrets by thinking twice before going ahead and seizing the moment.
Despite this research, however, knowing what you want and pursuing that passion are two different things. Maybe you'll be encouraged by a quote from Mark Twain:" Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor, and catch the trade winds in your sails."
1.What did Thomas's original study prove?
A. People didn't take a risk in life.
B. People regretted what they hadn't done.
C. People lived up to their ideal self.
D. People regretted pursuing their passion.
2.How was the researchers' new study carried out?
A. By analyzing six different studies.
B. By analyzing people's various responses.
C. By explaining the difference among regrets.
D. By comparing ideal-self and ought-self regrets.
3.What did the researchers advise people to do?
A. Look back now and then.
B. Think twice before feeling regretful.
C. Live according to their choice.
D. Care more about their own life.
4.What is implied in Mark Twain's quote in the last paragraph?
A. Everyone should be forced to pursue their goals.
B. Everyone should make full use of their surroundings.
C. Everyone should have the courage to pursue their goals.
D. Everyone should stop themselves from getting disappointed.

We eat in our cars, at our desks, on the go, and in front of the TV. We eat take-out, packaged and prepared meals. Why ? Because it fits our not-enough-time-in-the-day lifestyles. 1. Well, I’m certainly not the first one to think it—or say it—but we all need to slow down.
Consumer trends around the globe show that over the past three decades people are purchasing more prepared foods at the grocery and eating out more than ever before. It’s predicted that we’ll spend more at restaurants in the coming years. 2.However, we’re getting less healthy.
While debates can be seen indifferent media over the food industry’s contribution to our growing waistlines and our health problems, the bottom line is this: 3.We can choose to eat a fast-food lunch on the go. We can throw a frozen meal in the microwave and call it dinner. We can eat without thinking, in front of the tube, at our computers, and while driving a car.
4.Studies have shown meaningful links between family meals and kids’ mental and physical well-being. Eating sensibly doesn’t take much time or money, but it does require you to make a conscious decision to do so. Wrapped in endless work, appointments and social activities, we often fail to enjoy a relaxing meal with our families.
While it can be a challenge to always put healthy eating first, just do your best. Remember that the food you eat has a more significant impact on your health, weight and well-being than almost any other activity you do. 5. Every meal made at home—even just once or twice a week—is a step closer to a healthier body and as lower food lifestyle.
A. Our food matches our lives.
B. Treat it with the importance that it deserves, but start small.
C. We’re consuming an increasing number of calories.
D. Lunch is the biggest calorie intake when it comes to eating out.
E. Purchase food locally and skip as many packaged items as you can.
F. What we eat, where we eat and how we eat are all under our control.
G. We can devote an hour of the day to enjoying a meal with our families.
