One of my favorite posters says, “Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been a real life, you would have been instructed where to go and what to do.” Whenever I think of this humorous bit of wisdom, it reminds me not to take my life so seriously.
When you look at life and its many challenges as a test, or series of tests, you begin to see each issue you face as an opportunity to grow, a chance to discover more about life. Whether you’re being bombarded(轰炸) with problems, responsibilities, even insurmountable(不能超越的) difficulties, when looked at as a test, you always have a chance to succeed, in the sense of rising above that which is challenging you. If, on the other hand, you see each new issue you face as a serious battle that must be won in order to survive, you’re probably in a very rocky journey. The only time you’re likely to be happy is when everything is working out just right. And we all know how often that happens.
As an experiment, see if you can apply this idea to something you are forced to deal with. Perhaps you have much pressure from your parents or you have a demanding boss. See if you can redefine the issue you face from being a “problem” to being a test. Rather than struggling with your issue, see if there is something you can learn from it. Ask yourself, “Why is this an issue in my life? What would it mean and what would be involved to rise above it? Could I possibly look at this issue any differently? Can I see it as a test of some kind?”
If you give this strategy(策略) a try you may be surprised at your changed responses. It has become far more acceptable to me to accept things as they are.
1.When you begin to consider life as a test, you will find ______.
A.you are bombarded with problems and responsibilities

A.you try to get the meaning of the poster
B.you are struggling with your issue
C.you are carrying out an experiment
D.you are in a very rocky journey
4.According to the passage, what is the author’s attitude towards life?
A.He considers life as a test.
B.He has difficulty in facing his hard life.
C.He thinks life is full of humorous wisdom.
D.He thinks life is not only a test but also a serious battle.

Inside Out is one of my favorite Disney / Pixar movies. The story is about a young girl named Riley who moves from Minnesota to San Francisco with her family and how she deals with her emotions (情感) through the move. These five emotions in Riley's brain are Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust (厌恶) and Sadness. These emotions play a very important role in her life. I can understand because I am an 11-year-old girl and I am very in touch with my emotions and pre-teen feelings.
The film is extremely beautiful and you couldn't ask for better direction from Pete Doctor. The use of the right colors for the characters is great. For example, Joy is yellow, Sadness is blue, Disgust is green, Fear is purple and Anger of course is red. Sadness plays a main role in the story and it makes me wonder why we are told not to be sad. I think it's important to be sad when the time comes. The end of the movie pretty much got me and the whole audience (观众) (families, couples and even elderly people) in tears and I cried very hard.
I recommend (推荐) this movie for anyone from 8 to 18 because it has enough joy in it for younger kids to like it even though it does have some sad moments. I believe that adults will like it too. And I give it 4 out of 5 stars because it connects to an older audience even though it is designed for a younger audience. I think younger children can see this, but a parent would have to explain some things to them after the movie.
1.The author feels connected with the movie because she and the character Riley _____.
A. enjoy the same movie B. have the same feelings
C. have the same move experience D. have a similar family background
2.What does the author think of Pete Doctor's job?
A. Wonderful. B. Just so-so.
C. Bad. D. Disappointing.
3.After seeing the movie, the author has a new understanding of _____.
A. fear B. sadness
C. anger D. joy
4.In the author's eyes, the movie _____.
A. won't attract people over 18 B. is really unsuitable for children
C. will be popular among kids and adults D. can easily be understood by younger kids

Traffic Light Reading is one of students’ favorites! And it’s so simple. Here’s what to do: Take three pens in different colors, most suitably red, orange and green. But it’s not too important as long as teachers and students are both clear on the colour code they’re going to use.
Students read a text, not worrying too much about how much they understand. Teachers can ask them to re-read when students are paying attention to vocabulary. Start by underlining the words that they understand completely (including names, numbers etc) in green.
Then students re-read the text and underline the words that look familiar, they maybe know them but aren
’t too sure about them. You guessed it: in orange.Finally, students read the text a third time underlining the words they clearly don’t understand in red. Sometimes teachers might want to set students a limit for how many red words they underline, telling them only to underline the words that they believe are seriously blocking their understanding of the text as a whole. Generally, however, students are pleasantly surprised by how few words are red and how many are green. Seeing their ability laid out in a visual way really helps to increase confidence.
Once the whole text is underlined, teachers can give students a limit of 5, 10 or 15 words, depending on the length of the text, and tell them they’re only allowed to look these words up in a dictionary. This helps them to recognize words that are actually getting in the way of their understanding of the text and words that they don’t know but actually don’t impact their whole understanding of
the text.This is a useful activity that can be done with a printed text, in a Google Doc, on RealtimeBoard, or set as a homew
ork task for some independent study.1.What do we know about Traffic Light Reading?
A. It’s easy. B. It’s expensive.
C. It’s difficult D. It’s useless.
2.If a student uses orange to underline a word, it means that he .
A. doesn’t know it at al
l B. has actually understood itC. isn’t certain about its meaning D. has never met with it at all
3.What does the underlined word “impact” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. increase. B. form.
C. affect D. use.
4.In the author’s opinion, Traffic Light Reading .
A. needs more eyes than mind
B. trains students’ ability to learn
C. makes the students study long hours
