Like it or not, there will be difficult times in our lives. You might lose your job, fail in your exams or have an illness. 1. Here are some ways not to lose hope during difficult times.

1.1Have faith.

2. No matter how bad the situation is, things will turn out to be good in the end. Several years ago I failed to get my master’s degree. It was a really bad experience.3. It was of much better quality than my previous university. Experiences like this strengthen my belief that having faith is important during difficult times.

2.Be around supportive people.

Going through difficult times is hard, and going through them alone is even harder. You need a group of positive people who can support you. 4. If you don’t, my suggestion is to start looking for one. Don’t wait until you need it, because it will be too late by then. You need the community before difficult times come.

3.Help others.

An additional benefit of being in a good community is that it encourages you to think about other people. It pushes you to help others and, therefore, think about other people. 5. As a result, your situation won’t look as bad as it would be otherwise. Often the situation looks worse than it really is because we give too much attention. Shifting（移开）some of your attention away will put the situation in a better view.

A.Your community helps a lot.

B.Whatever it is, it’s important not to lose hope.

C.However, I changed my attitude towards failure.

D.In this way you shift your focus away from yourself.

E.But I got a scholarship at an overseas university later.

Forest are amazing and so are the animals that live in them. We enjoy watching TV shows about bears, bats or monkeys. We know a lot about their lives: how they find food or what they do at different times of the year. But what about smaller animals that are more difficult to see or film?

Many small animals that live in forests are very important for the soil. A French scientist, Francois Xavier Joly, is studying one of them — the millipede(千足虫).

The importance of leaves

When the leaves begin to die in fall, they turn from green to yellow and fall from the trees. As they decompose on the ground, nutrients(营养物质) are returned to the soil and carbon dioxide to the air. Life in the forest needs these nutrients. Without them, plants could not grow and there would be no food for animals such as the millipede.

Food on the forest floor

Some living things, like mushrooms, break the leaves into smaller pieces and eat them. In a few months there is nothing left of them. But for mushrooms, not all trees are the same. Mushrooms prefer some types of leaves to others. This means that some leaves take much longer to be broken down than others. Sometimes it takes years. So what happens to these? This is where the millipede can help.

More on the menu

The millipede also likes leaves and it eats any type. But when it has finished, it produces waste. This waste then becomes the food of mushrooms. When mushrooms eat leaves they choose only certain types but when they eat waste, they will eat any kind. This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue.

So next time you are walking through a forest, remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet.

1.According to the passage, what can we learn about the millipede?

A. It can often be seen on TV shows.

B. It mostly feeds on the nutrients in the soil.

C. It is too small to be noticed by people.

D. It lives under mushrooms in the forest.

2.What does the underlined word "decompose" in Paragraph 3 mean?

B. The millipede helps to provide food for mushrooms.

C. Mushrooms play an important part in helping millipedes out.

D. Mushrooms decide what types of leaves the millipede will eat.

4.According to the author, the millipede is ________.

In many cases they have built their reputations over hundreds of years, and they have become names that millions of Chinese love, respect and most of all buy.

At least once a year, Meng Wei visits several shops in Beijing that specialize in traditional goods, longing to buy something for his family in Xi’an.

“It’s a routine I go through before I head home for big holidays such as the Spring Festival,” Meng says.

His shopping list includes Daoxiangcun pastries and Niulanshan Erguotou. “My mother has a sweet tooth and she always has a preference for Daoxiangcun, and my uncles love the kick of Erguotou,” Meng says.

A trust in quality and a desire for things of the past are among the reasons why many people buy these time-honored brands.

However, with such brands one characteristic stands out above all else: Their popularity has endured for years, decades and in many cases centuries. That popularity was evident in the attention the public gave to them in a survey（调查） of time-honored brands in Beijing last year, which drew more than 4 million respondents.

Yili, a century-old pastry brand, came out on top as the favorite. There are some old brands, too, that have been bywords for older generations, faded from view but then made spectacular comebacks.

One of these is Beibingyang (Arctic Ocean) a soft drink that was the first commercial beverage many Beijingers tasted. It disappeared from the market for 15 years but resurfaced in 2010. It again proved to be a hit, many people saying it took them back to the 1960s and 1970s, and was a natural reference point as older people started recounting childhood stories to their children.

"Such brands are the product of market competition and real quality," says Yin Jie, an official with a committee of experts charged with revitalizing Chinese time-honored brands. These brands are 230 years old on average, and some were highly popular back when the country enjoyed great prosperity（繁荣） hundreds of years ago, Yin says. "To this day what China contributes to these brands is certain rare natural ingredients(成分), and that keeps them going."

1.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Big holidays.

B. Time-honored brands.

C. The respondents.

D. The older generations.

2.What does Meng Wei usually do in the Spring Festivals?

A. He runs several shops selling traditional goods.

B. He shops traditional brands for his family.

C. He misses the things of the past very much.

D. He buys various sweeties and drinks.

3.What can be learned about the time-honored brands?

A. They are not trusted in quality and competition.

B. Many disappeared and never made comebacks.

C. They enjoy a long time of popularity.

D. They are the childhood stories of the aged.

4.What does Yin Jie think important in keeping time-honored brands going?

A. China’s prosperity.

B. Historic influence.

C. Certain rare natural ingredients.

D. Bywords for older generations.

What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? I think the following would be generally accepted.

Firstly, the teacher’s personality should be lively and attractive. This does not rule out people who are plain?looking, or even ugly, because many such people have great personal charm. 1..

Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a capacity for sympathy, a capacity to understand the minds and feelings of children. 2.—not of what is wrong, but of the weaknesses and immaturity of children, which cause them to make mistakes.

Thirdly, I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths and limitations, and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided. 3.. That is part of the technique of teaching, which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to put on an act—to enliven(使生动) a lesson, correct a fault, or award praise.

A teacher must be capable of infinite patience. 4., for we are none of us born like that.

Finally, I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to go on learning. 5.；there is always something more to learn about. There are three principal objects of study: the subjects which the teacher is teaching; the methods by which the subjects can best be taught to the particular pupils in the classes he is teaching; most importantly, the children, young people, or adults to whom the subjects are to be taught.

A. This, I may say, is largely a matter of self?discipline and self?training

B. Closely related to this is the capacity to be tolerant

C. Teaching is a job at which one will never be perfect

D. Children, especially young children, live in a world that is rather larger than life

E. There is no contradiction (自相矛盾) in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an actor

F. But it does rule out such types as the over?excitable, sad, cold, and frustrated

G. There are two fundamental principles of British education today

Social networks are a big part of nearly every teenager's life in this day and age.Many teens have QQ,WeChat, or Weibo but little do a lot of teens know that they can be held responsible for everything they post for the rest of their lives.Everything you post online is part of a digital footprint that can always be traced（追踪）back to you.That includes every post,even like,comment,favorite and forward that you have ever committed.All pictures you've posted or will post have been stored in a digital database,and it is the companies' right to keep all of these documents that you believe to have been deleted or hidden.

With every post comes a consequence;whether it is good or bad,what you post could be seen by anyone.That is why you have to be very careful of what you decide to post or comment.

If you think you are safe from Servite finding out about one funny comment you made six months ago on a meaningless picture,you are probably wrong.Recently,a senior,Aaron,at Servite learned this lesson the hard way this year.He wrote a series of ugly comments towards Connelly girls on a web page,ignoring potential consequences.

This student,however,did have to face consequences from Servite as he was removed from all of his leadership roles in the school.Surprisingly enough,he fully agreed with his punishment handed down by the administration and fully understood why he was given such severe discipline（惩处）."When you agree to come to Servite,you are agreeing to defend what Servite stands for,"the young man said."That continues past the hours of 8 am and 2 pm.It's at all times."

So,next time you're about to post something you think could be received as offensive or inappropriate,think twice,think again,and don't press send.
