   I want to introduce a famous Chinese idiom 一 Jiang Lang Cai Jin.

   During the period of Southern and Northern Dynasties,there was a man of letters named Jiang Yan. When he was young,Jiang Yan worked hard and could write beautiful poems and essays. However,several years later,his success prevented him from making progress. As a result,his poems and essays were not as good as his earlier ones and people around him said Jiang Lang Cai Jin,which meant Jiang Yan had used up his talent.

   Jiang Yan's story tells us that after success,we should be modest and make constant efforts so that we can achieve greater success.

注意：1. 词数100左右；

    2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。

                                                                                                                                                                                           

                             Five reasons your scale might be wrong

   1. You weigh yourself on different days each week.

   In a Cornell University study published last year,researchers analyzed the food and weight diaries that 80 people kept for up to a year. They found that people's weight changed considerably throughout the week. 36 Keep weigh-in days consistent for a more accurate assessment.

   2. 37  

   File this one under “Yes,scientists have actually studied this/' When University of North Dakota researchers weighed people with and without clothes at various times of the year,they found that men can reduce 2. 5 pounds for their clothing and women can reduce around two pounds,on average.

   3. You don't take muscle gain into consideration. You’ve heard that muscle is denser (密度大的) than fat. 38 If you start a strength-training routine,the number on the scale (秤) might not change,but you could still lose inches and drop a clothing size or two.

   4. You just drank a lot of water.

   It's called water weight for a reason: Drinking one pound of water can translate to about one pound of weight. So if you stand on the scale soon after drinkiag an entire water bottle's worth,you might not like what you see. 39

   5. You weigh yourself after hard exercise. 

   Compared with water weight,if you weigh in after a tiring cycling class,you may lose weight temporarily because you work up a good sweat. 40

   A. You miscalculate your clothing.

   B. But don't worry,it's just a temporary gain.

   C. Salty foods cause your body to save extra water.

   D. In fact,it takes up only about a third as much space.

   E. Jump on the scale if you need to improve confidence.

   F. You should be aware of how much water you have drunk.

   G. Many people were heaviest on Mondays and lightest on Fridays.

   Question:

   Hi,Carolyn. I am Amanda. My problem is with Stacy,my roommate of three years (we,re all 24) . When my other roommate,Joanna,and I have an issue (such as emptying the dishwasher) , we talk through it calmly and non-defensively,we apologize,and it's all good. Stacy becomes extremely defensive,gets worked up,and lashes(严厉斥责) back at us. What's more,she’ 11 never .bring up anything that bothers her. She keeps it all bottled up,and then occasionally will explode.

   She's also super-competitive with us about everything,extremely judgmental and negative. She gets angry that I keep in contact with certain people she doesn't like. I don't let her control me. I do my own thing and generally feel sorry for her,but I'm finding it harder and harder to ignore her controlling nature.

   We've been friends for six years now,and I've gotten to the point where I know this is terrible and I need to move out when my lease(租约） is up next year. I just need to figure out how to live with her in the meantime!I'm constantly living in fear of the next explosion.

                                                      Portland 

   Answer:

   It's not only an exhausting way to live,but also completely counterproductive. There isn't much you can do about her; it's neither possible nor your place to re-raise her into someone comfortable with weaknesses in herself and others.

   However,there is a lot you can do about yourself,just by opening up and backing off,which might also serve Stacy well if any kindness toward her is sincere. When she gets defensive,say: aHey,you're my friend and I love you. This really is just about dishes." When she turns things back on you,weigh whether she has a point and freely acknowledge when she does instead of getting defensive right away.

   Try to be calm and warm. Give her defensiveness no fuel. If this doesn't repair the friendship,it will at least make you live in peace.

   Since the invention of Guitar Hero and similar computer games,it is no longer necessary to imagine what it would be like to play along with the Beatles - you can come together with them in the virtual world. 

   Bill Wyman,former bass player in the Rolling Stones,has pointed out that music video games discourage kids from learning to play real instruments. My own experience suggests quite the opposite.

   Last year,I bought Guitar Hero III for our 14-year-old son,Jack. Jack quickly mastered the process and entered an intense period of playing the game.

   A few months later,while I was away on tour,a couple of his friends came around with a real electric guitar. Playing Guitar Hero had taught them how to play along to a track. Now they wanted to see if they could apply that to the real thing. Jack's friends taught him how to play along to his favourite songs using just his index finger on the bass string. He got it right away.

   Guitar Hero had helped him over the first difficulty for guitar players 一 how to strum the strings with one hand while making chord shapes with the other. He never plays Guitar Hero now,preferring to rock out in the garage with his mates.

   Despite my attempts at getting him to learn an instrument,it was Guitar Hero that taught him the basics of playing and built up his confidence to the extent that he was able to make a recognisable sound the first time he plugged in.

   So let's not complain about a game that encourages kids to become music fans and,in our son's case,gives them the basic skills needed to learn how to play guitar.

24. What's Bill Wyman's attitude towards music video games?

   A. Approving. B. Negative.

   C. Unconcerned. D. Curious.

25. The first time Jack played with a real electric guitar,he.

   A. did it successfully

   B. taught his friends how to play

   C. didn't know how to strum the strings

   D. didn’ t know how to play along to a song 

26. Jack's case shows .

   A. Guitar Hero is a useful game .

   B. kids should learn an instrument

   C. parents should encourage their kids

   D. computer games are harmful for kids

27. What's the best title for the text?

   A. A new computer game

   B. The story of a guitarist

   C. In defence of Guitar Hero

   D. The best way to play guitar
