If you are hungry, what do you do? Get a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet. Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry. But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, favorite star and many such things. So it silently began to care about your needs and never let itself grow. When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?", "Why can"t I think?" "Why am I always given the difficult problems?" Well, this is the result of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.
Hunger of the mind can be actually satisfied through reading. Now why reading and not watching TV? Because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from the childhood. Just like that to develop other aspects of our life, we have to turn to reading. You have innumerable number of books in this world which will answer all your "How to?" questions. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed. Now this seed is unknowingly used by you in your future to develop new ideas. The same seed, if used many times, can help you link and relate a lot of things, of which you would have never thought in your wildest dreams! This is nothing but creativity. More the number of books you read, your mind will open up like never before.

举一反三
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact,we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “self—talk” helps us motivate ourselves,remember things, solve problems,and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77%of self—talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back . The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said.And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self—esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.
小题1:The main idea of the first paragraph is that .
A.not sticks and stones but words will hurt us |
B.inspiring words give us confidence |
C.negative words may let us down |
D.words have a lasting effect on us |
A.almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves |
B.we can benefit from talking to ourselves |
C.talking to ourselves always gives us courage |
D.it does no harm to have“self—talk”when we are alone |
A.praise ourselves | B.remind ourselves |
C.make ourselves relaxed | D.give ourselves amusement |
A.encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers |
B.negative words may stimulate us to make more progress |
C.people tend to remember friendly words |
D.it is better to think twice before talking to others |
Don’t invite crime---take basic, sensible precautions. Your house and possession are valuable and must be properly protected. When you buy a lock, you buy time. The best prevention is delay and noise which could mean discovery.
When you leave it---lock it! First of all, fit security locks to all doors and windows and a safety chain on the front door. Secondly, use them! If you have any ladders or tools, don’t leave them lying about in the garden, lock them away. “Safe” or “secret” places for keys and valuables are not reliable --- nine times out of ten, they are the first place a thief will look. | When you move house… When you move into a new home even if it is fitted with security locks, change them. You don’t know who else may have keys. Never let strangers into your house. An official-looking cap is not enough, ask for proof of identity and look at it carefully --- if you are still not satisfied, don’t let the person in. |
Valuables need special protection Valuables should really be given special protection --- preferably by leaving them with your bank. A small security safe works too, but not to the most determined burglar. It is also important to keep an up-to-date list of valuables and their descriptions. In the case of fine art, paintings, or jewelry, color photographs can sometimes be of assistance to the police if you are unfortunate enough to have them stolen. Enter the details on the back of the pictures. But don’t keep such documents in your house, keep them at the bank or with your insurance company. | Going on holiday? Don’t talk about your holidays and future plans loudly in public. Do remember to cancel the milk and newspapers and also to draw curtains back. Operate a “Good Neighbor” program to ensure that mail is taken in, the house is checked regularly and that lights are put on. Call at your local police station and tell them you are going away. Make sure that they know how to contact you in case of trouble. Don’t leave cash or valuables in the house --- take them with you or put them in the bank. |
A.buy a safe | B.change the locks |
C.visit your neighbors | D.stay away from strangers |
A.Taking pictures of your valuables. |
B.Putting your valuables in your safe. |
C.Keeping your valuables at the bank. |
D.Giving a list of your valuables to the police. |
A.should cancel your mail |
B.shouldn’t leave your keys to your neighbors |
C.shouldn’t make it known that your home is empty |
D.should ask the police to check your house regularly |
A.To inform people of safety standards. |
B.To introduce the advantages of banks. |
C.To prove the importance of security locks. |
D.To educate people on prevention of burglars. |
My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and where we were going. She insisted if we said we"d be gone an hour, then we be gone one hour or less—not one hour and one minute. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was.
The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath, while the other kids always wore their clothes for days. I believe she laid awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.
Through the years, things didn"t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, “sick” like our friends did, and miss school. Our marks in school had to be up to par(达到正常水平). Our friends" report cards had beautiful colors on them, black for passing, red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was, would settle for nothing less than ugly black marks.
As the years rolled by, we were one by one put to shame. We were graduated from high school. With our mother behind us, talking, hitting and demanding respect, none of us was allowed the pleasure of being a dropout.
My mother was a complete failure as a mother. Out of four children, a couple of us attained some higher education. And whom do we have to blame for the terrible way we turned out? You"re right, our mean mother. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults.
Now I am trying to raise my three children. I am filled with pride when my children think I am mean because, you see, I had the meanest mother in the world.
小题1:What does the sentence “But at least I wasn"t alone in my sufferings.” mean?
A.The author"s mother was only mean to her. |
B.The author"s mother suffered her. |
C.The author"s mother was mean to her sister, brothers and her. |
D.The author wasn"t alone because of suffering. |
A.Because she wanted her children to be top students in school. |
B.Because she wanted her children to bring home colored report cards like her friends did. |
C.Because she wanted her children to drop out. |
D.Because she wanted her children to do their best at school and be educated and respected citizens. |
A.Some of the children weren"t able to go to college because of their mean mother. |
B.Mother didn"t let the author tell lies. |
C.Mother asked the author to wear clean clothes. |
D.The author could not miss school even if she was ill. |
A.humorous | B.hateful | C.ridiculous | D.critical |
As described:
This includes the history of the car as well as its specification.For example, if the dealer described the car as previously having “one careful lady owner”, it shouldn’t turn out to have had several previous “boy racer” owners.
Of satisfactory quality:
It must meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as acceptable and be free from any quality problem.Also, bear in mind that a second-hand car will have a slightly different definition of what is considered “satisfactory, because there’s certainly an element of wear and tear.
Fit for the purpose:
It must be reasonable fit for any normal purpose and this includes any purpose that you specify to the seller.
●If any of the above is violated, then in theory, you may have the right to reject the vehicle and get your money back if you’re reasonably quick. Alternatively, the dealer might offer to replace or repair the car; reduce the price of offering a partial refund(退款).Once you’ve informed the dealer that you wish to reject the car , you must stop using the vehicle.
●If the rejection is not accepted, then it’s up to you to prove your case. You’ll need to pay for an independent assessment of the car and sue(打官司,起诉)for damages. If you do choose a repair, insist the dealer provide you with a hire car or pay any reasonable traveling expenses thus produced while your new car is in the garage.
●If the car is new, it’s likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. Using the small claims procedure to you may have to pay for legal representation. All this can be pretty daunting and expensive. You need to weigh up the pros and cons before rejecting a car. Would a repair do just as well? Selecting a dealer who offers a clear exchange policy may help.
小题1:According to the text, what is essential after you inform the dealer of your wish to reject the car?
A.Stopping using it | B.Demanding traveling expenses. |
C.Suing for damages. | D.Proving your case. |
A.Asking the dealer to provide you with repair tool sets |
B.Asking the dealer to provide you with a hire car |
C.Asking the dealer to pay all of your traveling expenses. |
D.Asking the dealer to return all your money. |
the last paragraph?
A.Different. | B.Discouraging. | C.Effective. | D.Convenient. |
A.Buyers should select a dealer that offers to repair the car. |
B.Buyers should never reject a new car. |
C.It’s necessary that a new car should be repaired. |
D.Rejecting a new car is not necessarily the best choice. |
A.choosing a car | B.making a claim |
C.dealing with car sellers | D.suing for damages |
