◆(39)C fter keeping a journal for years,you can look back at it and see how far you've gone.Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today.The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.
◆It helps you expand your ideas.When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea,you are thinking actively about it.(40)E In the end,you will expand your ideas.

8.Kendall Ciesemier is the founder of charity Kids Caring 4Kids,an organization she created after seeing a show on the difficult situation of AIDS orphans (孤儿) in Africa.Ciesemier was inspired to try to change the lives of those affected by AIDS and to encourage other children to do the same.She tells us of the power her personal story has in showing others they too can make a difference.
You saw Oprah's show on AIDS orphans when you were 11-do you remember how you felt?
When I saw the show I was shocked.I had never heard of AIDS before and was concerned that kids were growing up without parents and no one had troubled to ask for my help.
I wanted to create a place for kids to get involved and a place where their small contributions would be valued and celebrated.I also felt that I needed to take immediate action myself.I found an orphan sponsorship (赞助) program online and an eight-year-old girl from Mauritania who needed my help.I started there and Kids Caring 4Kids grew from that experience.
How has your own illness inspired you to help others?
Growing up with a rare liver (肝脏) disease made me feel different,which I think attracted me to others who were different and those struggling with something.I knew how I felt and I wanted to help reduce that feeling in someone else.I always wanted to support people.Growing up with an illness gave me empathy (移情) for others.
How does your own story inspire others?
My own personal story is evidence that people can give from anywhere.I started Kids Caring 4Kids from a hospital room.I started by helping one person and it snowballed from there.When I share my story,I think that's what affects people the most-the fact that I started all of this during a time of personal struggle and weakness.If I could do that,then they can do something too.

4.How can I fight laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life.However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
(36)C.Many people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work.These people have little motivation once they arrive home.Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active.(37)E.Others take a more proactive(积极主动的) approach,viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life.
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them.A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.Create a reward system for yourself,just as parents do for a child to promote responsibility.(38)A.
(39)B.Spouses(配偶)and children may all have different energy levels,but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.To fight household laziness,set an example,be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.(40)G,thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.
A.Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as a good dinner or a film
B.Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home
C.One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep
D.Knowing how to fight laziness is important
E.Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task
F.With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal
G.Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle
11.Directions:Write an English composition in over 120 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese.
当你在生活中遇到问题或困难时,你会如何解决?请就你亲身经历的1至2件事具体介绍一下你解决问题的办法,并简要谈谈你对困境的态度.
We can't be happy forever,so learning how to face difficulities is important.Some people feel upset when they meet difficulities,and they don't want to try to let their dreams come ture anymore.They just want to find a place and stay at there for a long time.So they won't have a great success in the end.But others are different,some people don't think difficulities are troubles,they believe"Difficulities is the mother of the success''and"Believe in myself and I will win'',they are confident and breave,and they choose to face the difficulities with a smile.They try their best to solve their problems and if they don't feel well,they'll talk to their friends or family members,so that they can be happier and more confident.And they don't mind what others say about them,they can always find a good way for themselves to relax.
I think if you can have a good psychology when you meet difficulities in your life,and be more confident and breave,try to find a good way to relax,maybe talk to others or have a rest,and then think it over,make a plan to solve your problems.If you do so,you'll find that your difficulities are not as difficult as you think before!

As every coin has two sides,studying abroad is not an exception (例外).There are advantages for people to attend schools abroad.In the first place,he can use the foreign language in his daily life so that his ability in the second language may be greatly improved,as it is obvious that there is no better chance to improve the second language than living in the country where it is spoken.While studying in a foreign country,he will most likely meet many others from overseas and it is possible to make friends from all over the world.This is not only exciting on the social level,but could lead to important overseas contacts in his career as well.He can get familiar with the latest knowledge in science and make use of the firstrate facilities available.In this way,there is every chance that he is able to widen his horizon and broaden his mind.

9.Ten years ago,I used to be very fit.(36)C I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks.In those days,I didn't earn very much.I had a job in an office.It wasn't a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.(37)A The pay was better,but the hours were a lot longer.I bought a car and drove to work every day.I began to take people out to lunch.And I began to put on weight,too.I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn't have any time for things like that any more.
There's a lot of stress (压力) in my job.Perhaps that's why I started drinking more than I used to.For example,I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home,but then I started filling my glass to the top.Then I had another glass,and then another.(38)E I never used to smoke at all.

Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job.Perhaps I could do something like I used to do.But if I do that,I won't earn as much.I have a family to support.I have to think of them,too.I just don't know what I should do.What do you think?
A.Then,about eight years ago,I got a much better job.
B.My job takes everything out of me!
C.I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends.
D.Drinking became part of my life.
E.I started smoking a lot,too.
F.Ten years later,I lost my first job.
G.The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less.
