Set aside at least ten minutes, and then sit facing each other. Decide who will be the Talker and who will be the Listener. It makes no difference, because later you will change roles.
How to perform the One-Minute Drill
For approximately 30 seconds, the Talker can say anything he or she wants. Your job will be to express your thoughts and feelings. You can discuss problems you"ve had a hard time talking about. Remember to limit yourself to about 30 seconds. When the Talker finishes, the Listener will summarize what the Talker just said, as well as how the Talker was feeling inside, as accurately as possible.
The Talker now gives the Listener a grade between 0 and 100 per cent to indicate how accurate the summary was. If the rating is 95 per cent or more, you can change roles; the new Talker can continue with the same topic or move on to something entirely new.
However, if the grade is below 95 per cent, the Talker should point out what the Listener missed or got wrong, and repeat the process until the overall rating is 95 per cent or more. Then you can change roles and repeat the exercise for as long as you both like.
How it works
Thirty seconds of emotionally charged information is sufficiently challenging for anyone. Express your feelings in strong, clear, direct language, but as your partner will be listening attentively, you won"t need to shout, exaggerate or put your partner down.
The Listener should sit and listen respectfully without interrupting. Look into your partner"s eyes, but avoid using negative body language. If you like, take a few notes.
So the Talker might say: "When I come home from work, I feel tired and I need some quiet time. But you tell me I"m supposed to spend time with the kids. This makes me feel frustrated. I work hard and I"m exhausted at the end of the day. I feel like I deserve a little time to relax, not listen to more demands."
In response, the Listener might summarize like this: "You just told me that you feel exhausted when you come home at night because you"ve been working hard all day. When I tell you I want you to spend time with the kids, you feel frustrated and ticked off because you"re tired and you need time to relax. You see me as very demanding, and you"re probably feeling like I don"t appreciate you."
The first time you attempt the One-Minute Drill, you may get a low score. Don"t worry, because you"ll get up to speed quickly. Once you"ve tried this exercise a few times, you"ll find that you can nearly always get ratings of 95 per cent or better on the first or second try.

The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.
The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed th
at stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in ho
w people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.

In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out the back door, leaving behind his shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swan toward the middle of the lake, an alligator(鳄鱼) was swimming toward the shore.
His mother in the house was looking out the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer. In extreme fear, she ran toward the water, yelling(大叫) to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him.
From the dock(码头)，the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched(夺取) his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-water(拔河). The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate(有感情的). A farmer happened to drive by, took aim and shot the alligator.
After weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. The newspaper reporter asked if he would show him his scars(伤疤). The boy lifted his legs, then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “but look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go. ”
Some scars have caused us deep regret, but some scars are because of love.
小题1:From the second paragraph we can infer that_____.
| A．A child shouldn’t swim in the water by himself. |
| B．We’d better grasp some skills to protect ourselves |
| C．We should make enough preparations before swimming |
| D．We are enjoying ourselves but don’t know the enemy is coming. |
| A．The boy and the alligator |
| B．the boy and the mother |
| C．The alligator and the mother |
| D．the alligator and the farmer. |
| A．The alligator was killed by a hunter. |
| B．There’re scars both on the boy’s arms and legs. |
| C．The mother was calm when seeing the alligator. |
| D．The mother won the “match” because of her strength. |
| A．He survived luckily. |
| B．He was a child of God. |
| C．He was injured slightly. |
| D．He was proud of the scars of love. |
Busy isn’t bad, necessarily. If you are not busy enough you might be bored. But if you are too busy, you might break down. For example, if you have a soccer game that runs late on a school night and you haven’t eaten dinner or done your homework, that’s a not-so-fun kind of busy. We wanted to know what kids thought, so we did a kidsPoll about being busy with 882girls and boys aged 9 to 13.
Almost all of them said they felt stressed because they were too busy. About half said they felt this way once in a while or some of the time. But 17% said they felt this way most of the time and 24% said they felt this all the time! Oh dear, that’s no fun.
Only 4% of kids said they wanted less free time and 18% said they already had just the right amount. But, no big surprise, 61% of kids wish they had a lot more free time. If they had more time, most would spend it hanging out or playing with friends.
Often, adults plan large parts of a kid ’s day, especially during the school year. kids can’t tell their parents they’ll be skipping school(逃学) today to get more free time! But they can tell their parents they’d like to play a game or read a book during their free time instead of watching TV.
小题1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to _____.
| A．Introduce the topic |
| B．Support the main idea |
| C．Raise the topic sentence |
| D．Attract the readers’ attention |
| A．Being too busy is bad for the kids |
| B．It is no fun to be busy for the kids |
| C．Homework should go before gam. |
| D．Being busy may cause the kids to feel bored |
| A．How kids arrange their free time |
| B．What kids think of being busy |
| C．How many kids felt stressed |
| D．What kids do with their study |
| A．Spend their free time hanging or playing out |
| B．Get a lot more free time from their parents |
| C．Have a right amount of free time with permission |
| D．Get more free time from school work sometimes |
As a child you 37 adults—or "grown-ups" as I used to call them—to always be in control．to know what is right and wrong． 38 as a teenager, I thought that when I reached 18 I would be far more 39 in many aspects of life．But now that I am 18, 1 know that is not true．
