1.You wake up in the morning,the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time.Then the telephone rings,you say hello,and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.You are still in a wonderful mood?Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness.It may not change what you think but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.Life brings ups and downs,but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad.No wonder they can hardly win others'pity or respect.When you communicate with positive people,your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you,you feel the heavy feeling that all in all,brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a co-worker,or a relative.In this case,say what needs to be said as little as possible.Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person,but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won't feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of  another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day,which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness.Life is too short to feel negative.Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

A.make a comparison                
B.offer an evidence
C.introduce a topic                    
D.describe a daily scene

A.By changing our ways of thinking       
B.By telling us the nature of life
C.By influencing our emotion           
D.By comparing their attitudes to life with ours

A.other people's respect for them       
B.other people's pity for them
C.building up a positive attitude           
D.making other people unhappy

17.Facing increasing pressure to raise students'scores on standardized tests,schools a re urging kids to work harder by offering them obvious encouragements.Happy Meals are at the low end of the scale.With the help of businesses,schools are also giving away cars,iPods,seats to basketball games,and-in a growing number of cases-cold,hard cash.The appeal of such programs is obvious,but the consequences of tying grades to goods are still uncertain.It's been a common tradition in middle-class families to reward top grades with cash as a way to teach that success in school leads to success in life.But for many disadvantaged minority children,the long-term benefits of getting an education are not so clear,according to experts.
No one knows for sure how well cash and other big-ticket rewards work in education in the long run.But there are plenty of concerns that this kind of practice could have negative effects on kids.Virginia Shiller,a clinical psychologist,says that it's worth experimenting with cash encouragements but that tying them to success on a test is not a worthwhile goal."I'd rather see rewards based on effort and responsibility-things that will lead to success in life,"she says.
Even if rewards don't lead to individual achievement on a test,they could have a meaningful effect in the school.Charles McVean,a businessman and philanthropist(慈善家),started a tutoring program,which pays higher-achieving students﹩10 an hour to tutor struggling classmates and divides them into teams.During the course of the year,students bond and compete.The team posting the highest math scores wins the top cash prize of﹩100.McVean calls the combination of peer(同龄人)tutoring,competition,and cash encouragements a recipe for"nothing less than magic".
For its part,the Seminole County Public Schools system in Florida plans to continue its report card encouragement program through the rest of the school year.The local McDonald's restaurants help the poor district by paying the $1,600 cost of printing the report card.Regina Klaers,the district spokeswoman,says most parents don't seem bothered by the Happy Meals rewards."There are many ways we try to urge students to do well,and sometimes it's through the stomach,and sometimes it's the probability of students winning a car,"she says,"One size doesn't fit all."

28.According to the text,it is a common practice for schools toD.
A.offer free meals to students with high scores       
  B.educate students to form a business sense     
C.cooperate with business to improve teaching

A.negative                          
B.optimistic                    
C.uncertain                    
D.disappointing

A.hires some excellent teachers to teach the struggling students
B.has a meaningful effect in inspiring students'enthusiasm on study

14."Every day I make a difference in the life of children."says financier-turned-math teacher Chuck Trader.
For more than two decades Chuck Trader enjoyed a highly successful career in corporate finance,a six-figure salary,and all the bonuses that went with his position.After that,Chuck recognized that he had stopped enjoying his work.To make matters worse,a few MBA graduates were entering the field,solving management problems by reducing the staff rather than by building relationships.With two young children,Chuck and his wife Peggy realized they were missing out get-together time.They expected to find a place called their"forever home"where they could become part of a community and watch their kids grow up in a stable environment."It was time for a change,"he says.
In 2001,Chuck,then 45,quit the job and had it changed.

While becoming active in his children's school,Chuck realizes he has found his true calling:teaching."There is no other profession where you have the opportunity to favorably affect the outcomes and the lives of so many young adults,"says Chuck."Teaching is truly an opportunity to invest in the future of our society."
In the classroom,Chuck is able to make lesson plans real by taking advantage of his experience in business.Chuck's students scored a 96percent pass rate on the mathematics portion of the recent statewide student assessment."That is a very difficult achievement for any teacher,"notes Wooden,St.Marys Middle School's principal,"not to mention one who has a large group of students who are considered at risk."

13.You may consider your smartphone's  camera as a substitute when you don't havt1your"real"carriers with you i but the fact is,smart phone camera technology has become so complex that the pictures you take on your mobile device may be matchable lo those you shoot with a standalone digital camera.Plus,your smartphone camera travels with you almost everywhere.What better way lo capture (捕捉)the unexpected moments of your life that could be the ones you love best?
Try these simple and affordable tips to control and use the power of your smartphone's   camera,and capture a quality image for every moment you want to preserve.
Smartphone cameras enable you to snap (拍照)an image at a moment's notice,but the slim design of mobile devices can make it tough to hold the camera steady enough to capture a clear image.Many of us take less time to get the shot  with smart phones than with fancier cameras,and this can lead to out-of-focus images  we're unhappy with.Simply taking a few moments to stop and hold the camera-and ourselves-still cm make a big difference.Using the volume(音量)button on the side of your smartphone to snap images instead of the camera's on-screen button can also reduce hand movement and impmvc the quality of your shots.
Your smartphone's camera can measure light automatically,but most smartphone camera  lenses (镜片)limit your focal length and depth.With quality lighting,your camera is able to capture quality images.Whether you're snapping pictures indoors or outside,pay attention to light sources and  how they hit your photos subject.Be especially mindful of dark shadows across people's faces,which can appear less attractive in pictures.Additionally,a flashlight from a different phone can light your subject from m angle which will result in a better image than relying on your smartphone camera's  flash.Instead of getting a flat,washed-out look,the subject looks dynamit and attractive.
Just as your smartphone doesn't always know what you most want to capture in m image,the strongest composition of ten comes from simplicity.Before you snap,take a look at the background"noise"your image will include,such as passersby,pictures on a wall behind the subject and moving cars.Don't try to capture too much all in one photo.Walk closer to help remove objects that don't  add to the scene.Choosing cootrasling colours between your subject and the background elements in an image can  increase the wow factor of your smartphonc pictures,too.

15.Having experienced a shocking electrical accident,which caused him to become both blind and deaf James Franco's world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.His family,especially his wife,did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.
One hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20minutes later,lying face down in muddy water.He was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he could hardly believe what he saw:a tree and a muddy road.When Mrs.Franco came running up to him,shouting to their neighbors to call for help,he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.
