3．Should schools punish cyberbullies？Many states in America passed a law allowing schools to punish students for cyberbullying （网络欺凌） that happens outside schools．Supporters say that the psychological effects of cyberbullying bleed over into school time-and have a harmful effect on students'learning environment．（36）EHanna DiMassimo thinks that being bullied online makes school unbearable．"Cyberbullying may not always happen while you're at school，but it always makes school a living nightmare （噩梦）．（37）C"In seventh grade，I was bullied over iMessage．I didn't feel safe at home or at school，and it was impossible for me to focus in class．My grades severely suffered．So while it might seem like cyberbullying affects someone only after school hours，the truth is，you can never escape it．（38）A"
However，Natalie Eng holds the opinion that schools should model better behavior without getting involved．
"Of course I don't think cyberbullying is permissible．（39）DIf we allow schools to punish online bullies who operate after school hours，then where do we draw the disciplinary （纪律的） line？
"When a student is bullying another student at school，that behavior falls under the school's power，and administrators （管理者） should punish the bully．What about other rule-breaking behaviors，like drinking or staying out late？（40）G"A school's purpose is to educate you．If administrators really want to stop cyberbullying，they should teach students why it's wrong，how it hurts people，and what they can do to stop it．"

A．For that reason，I support these laws．
B．But I do think these laws are dangerous!
C．That's why we need more serious in-school influences!
D．Schools should be a place where you feel safe and welcoming．
E．Critics，however，argue that such laws give schools too much power．
F．Therefore，cyberbullying problem needs to be fixed before it happens．
G．With laws like these，we're in danger of giving schools too much power over our personal lives．
19．（36）EBesides，in top-grade restaurants，you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork，if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough．The real difference is that in the West，you have your own plate of food，while in China the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares．If you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks you're in the country for the first time，he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes．
The meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes，to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes．（37）CIf you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes，you should say so in good time，for most of the Chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all．
（38）GIn formal dinners，there are always"public"chopsticks and spoons for this purpose，but some hosts may use their own chopsticks．（39）AIt is always polite to eat the food．If you do not eat it，just leave the food in the plate．
People in China tend to over-order food，for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed．（40）DOr you will always overeat!

A．This is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness．
B．Chinese food contains much less calorie．
C．Soup then will be served to be followed by staple food ranging from rice，noodles to dumplings．
D．When you have had enough，just say so．
E．Of course，the main difference on the Chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork，but that's only superficial．
F．Some Chinese people are so hospitable that they use their own chopsticks to put food into the plates of their guests．
G．Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western visitor most is that some of the Chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests．
16．The most important factor（因素） that leads to success is what you do every single day．Your habits will decide whether you are successful or not．If you have strong and healthy positive habits，it does not matter whether or not you fail today because you will succeed in the long term．Having positive habits does not mean that you will succeed every single time．However，in the long term，there is no doubt that you will achieve all your goals and be successful．On the other hand，if you have strong negative habits，you will fail in the long term．It does not matter whether you succeed today or not．
Why are habits so important？
A single positive action will not change your life，but the same action repeated 1，000times will have a great effect on your life．For example，if you go to the gym one time，you won't see a big difference in your life．However，if your go to the gym 1，000time over a five-year period，you will see a big difference in your body．The same principle（原则） is true of finance （金融），health，relationships，work，career，and school．Simple positive actions repeated every single day will have a great effect on your life in the long run．
How to develop positive habits？
There's nothing easier than developing positive habits．You simply have to do every single day the action you want to make a habit．If you want to develop the habit of running，run almost every day．If you want to develop the habit of reading，read every day．Habits are created by repetition（重复）．The more you do an action，the easier it becomes in the long run．
How to get rid of negative habits？
The only way to destroy negative habits is to stop reinforcing（加强） them．If you are a smoker，stop smoking．If you are a drug user，stop using drugs．Yes，it will be very difficult at the beginning．The first week will be very hard．After three weeks，you will feel a lot better．It's hard to get rid of negative habits because you got a lot of pleasure from these habits in the past．
You can do it!
Everybody can change．All it takes is courage and determination．Decide right now to improve your life by changing your habits．Take action right now!Don't be afraid．Yes，you will probably make mistakes along the way．But never forget that success is waiting for you if you have positive habits in your life．If you refuse to give up，success will be yours．

3．Vancouver's Chinatown-Canada's largest Chinatown
Vancouver's Chinatown is North America's second biggest Chinatown，after San Francisco's．Mandarin（普通话）and Cantonese are the mother tongues in 30% of Vancouver homes，which makes Chinese the largest"minority"ethnic group（少数民族）．
Vancouver's Chinatown is the place to visit for a taste of Chinese culture．
In Chinatown，there are a lot of traditional products and buildings，such as the stone lions which represent for the prestige（名声；声望），many red lanterns which stands for the happiness．What's more interesting，in Chinatown，a typical Suzhou garden can be found．Chinatown not only expresses the culture of China to the other cultures，but also one part shows that Vancouver is the multicultural society．Chinatown which carries many Chinese cultures is built by Chinese in Vancouver．In the beginning，Chinatown was the community only for Chinese people，but nowadays，more and more other people from different countries are willing to know the Chinatown，It is the part of the Vancouver's society，and Chinatown is also changing gradually in order to adjust to Vancouver．
There are lots of interesting markets with many varieties of fresh and dried seafood and mushrooms in the China town．You'll also find cheap and fine house ware and traditional Chinese medicine．During the summer，on weekend evenings，Keefer and Pender Streets become a busy open-air night market．If you have enough time for a meal，try at one of the many small restaurants．It is not an expensive，multi-course culinary（烹调的）adventure．Relax in the peaceful Dr．Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden，or just steps away on Pender Street．Visit the Chinese Cultural Centre Museum，or participate in one of its many activities．

13．Any car accident is frightening，but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water，with you trapped inside，is absolutely terrifying．（32）DHowever，most deaths result from panic，without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water．By adopting a brace position （防冲击姿势），acting decisively and getting out fast，you can save yo urself from a sinking vehicle．
Brace yourself for impact．As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water，adopt a brace position．The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle，so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the"ten and two"position．
Undo your seatbelt．（33）FUnbuckle the children，starting with the oldest first．Forget the cellphone call．Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call．（34）ALeave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window．A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water，so try the method of opening it electronically first．Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking．
Break the window．If you aren't able to open the window，or it only opens halfway，you'll need to break it with an object or your foot．It may feel counter-intuitive （有悖常理的） to let water into the car．（35）GEscape when the car has equalized．If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced，you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival．（36）CWhile there is still air in the car，take slow，deep breaths and focus on what you're doing．
 
A．Open the window as soon as you hit the water．
B．Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think．
C．It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually．
D．Such accidents are particularly dangerous due to the risk of drowning．
E．In conclusion，if you know what to do in the water，you'll be safe．
F．This is the first thing to attend to，yet it often gets forgotten in the panic．
G．But the sooner the window is open，the sooner you can escape directly through it．
20．Life is just like a box．Inside it are happiness and sorrow，failure and success，hope and despair．Life is a learning process．Experiences in it teach us new lessons and make us a better person．
Love
Love plays a key role in our life．Love makes you feel wanted．Without love a person could become cruel and violent．In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care．They tell us what is right or wrong，good or bad．（36）C．It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to the feelings of others．Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better．
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is shortlived，but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others gives a certain level of fulfillment．（37）G．No mind is happy without peace．We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow．Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one，failure and despair．But these things are temporary and pass away．
Failure and Success
（38）F．It helps us to touch the sky，teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way．
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going．Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream．Hope builds in patience．（39）A，because after every night there is a day．Nothing remains the same．We have only one choice-keep moving on in life and be hopeful．
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday，for it has passed and is beyond our control．Tomorrow is unknown，for it could either be right or dull．（40）B，so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow．

A．Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour
B．So the only alternative is work hard today
C．But we always tend to take this for granted
D．Success lies in trusting yourself
E．So let's enjoy every day
F．Failure is the path to success
G．Peace of mind is the main link to happiness．
17．Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life．Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk．In fact，you need the same skills in walking as in swimming．However，I believe that five is the best age to learn．By five or six，a child knows fear of water，a very important thing to know．It's wise to be afraid，to recognize true danger．Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous．
To really benefit from swimming，every swimmer should learn，as soon as possible，these four basic strokes（游泳姿势）； butterfly，backstroke，Breaststroke，and crawl．I feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others，since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally，without any training．
In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow：
1）．Never swim alone!No matter how good you are in the water，don't risk drowning（溺水，淹死） by swimming alone．If you swim by yourself，with no life guards or friends with you，you may get into trouble．
2）．Don't go beyond your abilities．Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach，Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good．Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive．
3）．Don't smoke．Swimming depends on a healthy body； good lungs are part of it．
4）．Work at any activity that builds muscles．

B．your parents would not be happy 
C．you might drown
D．something in the water might attack
25．Why the author suggest swimmers not smoke？A
