There are various ways to get relaxed for middle school students. One way is to take exercise£¬such as walking£¬running£¬playing basketball or football£¬etc. We can also watch TV£¬where we are able to enjoy varieties of colorful programs both in Chinese and English. Moreover£¬we can surf the Internet to get some relaxation and entertainment.

As far as I¡¯m concerned£¬surfing the Internet appeals to me most. For one thing£¬the Internet offers a wide range of activities for relaxation. In general£¬I keep track of the latest news as an enjoyment. Sometimes£¬I play computer games to relax myself. For another£¬the Internet makes it easy for me to make friends with people at home and abroad£¬for it is a great joy to communicate with them. In addition£¬having a glimpse of the vivid pictures and live videos on the Internet contributes to regaining my energy.

I have happy memories of trips to Europe, but my trip to Romania was unique. My husband was born there, but his family sent him to study in Italy. He hasn¡¯t seen his family since he was 16.

When we reached Bucharest, his family was waiting outside to greet us. After a lot of hugging, kissing, and crying, his family also embraced (Óµ±§) me, the American wife with two young children. They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time, and most Romanians had little chance to travel. His family loved our gifts. We made trips to the Black Sea and the Carpathian Mountains. Eating at outdoor cafes to the sound of gypsy violins was very different, but nothing was as unforgettable as family dinners.

Most Romanian homes had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers. It was a hot summer. My husband¡¯s relatives didn¡¯t want to risk dirtying their clothes. Their solution was as simple as it was surprising: The women had dinner in their bras (ÎÄÐØ) and slips (³Äȹ). The men were shirtless. They all had jobs, so time was precious. Disrobing (ÍÑÈ¥Ò·þ) for dinner was a small inconvenience compared with the effort of doing laundry ¨C at least in their household, and perhaps all across Romania. I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry. I, of course, having just met them, ate fully clothed.

On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. The table applauded. Even with my poor Romanian, I understood that they were saying: ¡°She¡¯s part of our family now.¡±

Sheep Smarter than Thought

London¡ªSheep, like turkeys and ostriches, are not considered the most clever animals. British scientists said last Wednesday humans may have underestimated the woolly creature. They could be much smarter than we think.

Researchers at the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, southern England, have shown that the animals have a good memory system and are extremely good at recognizing faces¡ªwhich they think is a sure sign of intelligence.

Behavioral scientist Keith Kendrick and his friends trained 20 sheep to recognize and distinguish 25 pairs of sheep faces and used electrodes (µç¼«) to measure their brain activity , which showed they could remember 50 faces for up to two years .

¡°If they can do that with faces, they have to have reasonable intelligence; otherwise, what is the point of having a system for remembering faces and not remembering anything else?¡± Kendrick said in an interview.

So hours of seemingly mindless eating grass may not be so mindless after all.

Kendrick believes sheep got their reputation as dumb (unable to speak, unintelligent) animals because they live in large groups and do not appear to have much individuality and are frightened of just about everything.

¡°All animals, including humans, once they are frightened, don¡¯t tend to show signs of intelligent action,¡± he explained.

In research reported in the science journal Nature, Kendrick and his team showed that sheep, like humans, have a specialized system in the brain which allows them to distinguish between many different faces which look extremely similar.

¡°The most important finding (of the study) is that they are able , both from a behavioral point of view and from looking at the way the brain is organized , to remember a large number of individuals for a very long time,¡± said Kendrick. ¡°It is a very strange system. They are showing similar abilities in many ways to humans.¡±

1.From the first paragraph we can find that______.

A£®people used to think sheep are smarter than the other animals

B£®people used to raise sheep in a wrong way

C£®people don¡¯t consider sheep as clever animals

D£®people have done a lot of research on sheep

2.From what Kendrick said in the interview we learn that_____.

A£®scientists have learned everything about sheep¡¯s intelligence

B£®scientists have learned a little about sheep¡¯s intelligence

C£®scientists can¡¯t do anything more about sheep¡¯s memory

D£®scientists do not have to research animals¡¯ memory

3.As is known in the passage,__________.

A£®sheep are among the week animals

B£®it is not right for people to raise sheep in groups

C£®when sheep eat grass in the field their minds may be active

D£®if people feel frightened, they may become braver

Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence

*Walk Faster

One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk. People with confidence walk quickly. They have places to go, people to see, or important work to do. Even if you aren¡¯t in a hurry, you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step. 1.

* 2.

One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech. Unluckily, opportunities to listen to a great speaker are few. You can fill this need by creating a personal commercial. Write a 30-60 second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals. Then recite it in front of the mirror aloud whenever you need a confidence push.

* Sit in the Front Row

In schools, offices and some other public places, people always sit at the back of the room. 3.. This reflects a lack of self-confidence. By deciding to sit in the front row, you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence

* Speak Up

During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they¡¯re afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid 4.. By making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion, you will become a better public speaker, more confident in your own thoughts and recognized as a leader by your peers(ͬÁäÈË)

* Work Out

Along the same lines as personal appearance, physical fitness has a huge effect on self-confidence. 5. By making your body fit and strong. You improve your physical appearance, refresh yourself, and accomplish something positive.

A.Listen to an Inspiring Speech

B.Create a Personal Speech

C.In fact most people feel good after a walk.

D.Most people prefer that because they are afraid of being noticed.

E.In fact most people are dealing with the same fear.

F.Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important.

G.If you¡¯re out of shape, you¡¯ll feel insecure, unattractive, and less energetic.
