解答 As an English proverb goes,"it is no use crying over the spilt milk''.This picture precisely captures one of such situations-a bottle of milk has been accidentally dropped onto the ground.The reactions of the two individuals in the pictures are totally different.One exclaims"Oh,God,it's all finished!''whereas the other one is more positive and calm,claiming that"there is still some left."(高分句型一)(描述图画)
There are rich implications underlying this scene.For the same event,two different individuals make two totally different observations and comments.For the pessimistic mind,they tend to give up.Finally,they would blame the failure on others.(揭示其寓意)
By contrast,people with an optimistic state of mind would turn the negative into the positive,through efforts.With strong willpower,they would persist to the end,convinced that as long as they keep trying,their hard efforts would pay off.(高分句型二) Those are the people who can often succeed where others fail.(高分句型三)Obviously,they are the people whom we should try to emulate.(发表评论).

I was a happy kid with a lot of friends and a supportive family.But growing up was really (36)B and even scary sometimes.
During my childhood,I was constantly involved in something that included people's viewing my achievements or my(37)C.I wanted everyone's praise and acceptance,but I was my own toughest critic (挑剔的人).
After I graduated from high school,my (38)B to be"thin"began to trouble me.I began trying to diet by (39)C my food.
In the beginning,I felt great-attractive and successful,almost superhuman.I even thought that I was better than everyone else.What I didn't see was that I was slowly (40)A myself.
People around me began to (41)D my weight loss.They said with concern."You're losing too much weight.""Elisa,you're so thin."All their words only suggested that I was getting closer to"(42)A".
Sadly,I took my physical(43)D the first important in my life,(44)A that it was the way to become successful and accepted.
Then I cut down my (45)C more and more,until a(46)D day consisted of half a teaspoon of nonfat yoghurt and coffee in the morning,and a cup of grapes at night.
But my poor (47)B began to cause me to lose (48)C.Then one night,like many nights before,I couldn't sleep,and my heart felt as though it might beat out of my chest.I tried to (49)B,but I couldn't.The beating became so rapid and so strong that I could no longer (50)A.What I had done to diet nearly caused me to have a heart attack.I stood up,and immediately fell down.I was really (51)A,and I knew I needed help.My roommate rushed me to the(52)D,beginning the long road to my(53)B.It took a lot-doctors,nurses,nutritionists,food supplements…
And most important,a sense of what was true about myself got back on track with reality.I realized that,with my (54)C of trying to be"perfect"on the (55)D,I had sacrificed who I was on the inside.What I know now is,we are-each and every one of us-already perfect.

Not long after she adopted Monti,Mum came out of (40)C after a near-death experience.I had put her to bed and went to bed myself,dead tired.Monti slept on Mum's bed,acting as a guard,and I had left the bedroom door slightly open (41)C she called out.

Go for quality,not quantity
While a solid eight hours'sleep is recommended for all adult,sometimes pain,chronic illness,continence issues,depression or stress prevent many from hitting that target.According to the UC Berkeley research,though,it's the deterioration (退化) in the quality (i.e.,difficulty falling asleep and/or staying asleep) that keeps"memories from being saved by the brain at night."
Ditch any late-day coffee
It's hard to remember whether caffeine is good for you or bad for you,as the studies seem to say something different every day.But one thing remains constant:caffeine stays in your system a long time,so you'd better not consume it too late in the day.Cut it out starting around 3to 4p.m.,experts recommend.
Unplug
Turn off the TV,the cell phone,the iPad,the laptop.Starve your brain's addiction to instant information,which in turn will renew and preserve your memory as you sleep.Not only that,you'll avoid the increased risk of depression that increased exposure to artificial light (from TV,computer and smart phone screens) has been shown to cause.Make a choice of other"unwilling"activities for the pre-bed hours,such as board games,taking a class,reading a book,or simple and enjoyable chores.
Redecorate your bedroom
New pillows,sheets,bed linens,darkening curtains,and other accessories (房间陈设) that make you feel relaxed,cozy and eager to go to bed at night are well worth the money.But don't just focus on these elements:if you have a TV in the bedroom,move it elsewhere.Got a lot of clutter in your bedroom?Clear it out.Have a workspace in the bedroom?Relocate it.Experts agree that keeping the bedroom for sleep only is a vital way to ensure quality rest.
Keep a bedside journal
When your head hits that pillow,does your mind start racing?Whatever's weighing on your mind will probably keep you tossing and turning,so keep a good old-fashioned journal and pen handy (don't use the smart phone).If no amount of deep breathing or meditation (冥想) exercises have worked,write down your thoughts.Don't worry about being grammatically correct.Just get them on the page so you can forget about them (at least until morning).Many believe that your memory will be better by forgetting more,which is certainly necessary when you need to be sleeping instead of stressing.
Talk to your doctor
If physical,mental,or emotional hardships are keeping you up at night,arrange to meet a physician,who may be able to diagnose an underlying cause that you're unaware of,or prescribe something to help you sleep through the pain or other distractions.
