8.In 2009,the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time.It is difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people on the planet do not have enough to eat.By the end of this year,more than 35million people will have died as a result of_____.Hunger kills more people per year than AIDS and malaria (疟疾) combined.
The UN calculates that almost two-thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia.More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa.Almost all of the rest are in Latin America,North Africa and the Caribbean.In the richest regions of the world there are only a small number of people who don't have enough to eat.There are many reasons for world hunger. They include wars,droughts,floods and the overuse of farming land.All of them affect food production.But the most important reason is,quite simple,poverty-which has increased recently due to the economic effects of the financial crisis of 2008.
Although many people point out that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller,few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around.The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food,but its distribution.In the last 50years,global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population and there are of course many areas of the world where people generally have more than enough food.Overweight is a far bigger problem than hunger there.

7.【1】You go to bed on time but sometimes you lie there for a while and can't fall asleep.What should you do?
【2】Start by trying to take your mind off any racing thought.Picture a relaxing scene that includes sleep and build that scene in your mind.So,let's say your scene has you lying in a beach hammock(吊床) under the stars.Imagine what the waves sound like.Are there other sounds?Is anyone else there with you?Focus completely on this scene for a while.
【3】If that doesn't work and you're still wide awake,try getting up for a short time.Get out of bed and do something relaxing that might make you feel sleepy-like reading or playing a repetitive game like Sudoku.Keep the lights low and go back to bed after 30minutes or sooner if you start  _______.
【4】Avoid technology,like phones,computers,or TV.Brightly lit screens can mislead (误导) your brain into thinking it's time to wake up.And anything that stimulates(刺激) your brain-from a text conversation to a video game-also can make you stay awake.
【5】Getting up for a short while can help if you have trouble falling asleep sometimes or if you sometimes wake up and can't go back to sleep.But you don't want to have to do it every night.If you have trouble falling asleep,it's best to train your body to relax each night.Doctors call this"good sleep hygiene (卫生)."Good sleep hygiene includes activities that signal the body it's time to sleep,like going to bed at the same time each night,shutting down technology,and keeping your room dark.It also includes avoiding caffeine(咖啡因) for several hours before bedtime.It can help to treat sleep like any other goal:build a plan that helps you focus on it and get the results you want!

3.There are a number of languages spoken throughout the world.Every person knows at least one language,which he learns in his childhood and is routinely used for speaking and writing.However,many people are fond of learning two or more languages,so they try to be bilingual,which means that they try to have the knowledge of two or more languages.And being bilingual can bring a person a number of benefits in various aspects.For example:
A person can get cognitive benefits from it.The bilingual people have two or more words for each idea and object.Therefore,a bilingual person can develop a creative thinking.The bilinguals are aware of which language should be spoken with which person in a particular situation.So they are more sensitive to the needs of the listener than the people who only use one language:Being bilingual also improves and enriches a person's mental development.
Being bilingual has a positive effect on a person's character.The bilinguals are able to switch between different languages and talk to different people in various languages.It increases a sense of self-esteem (自尊).Being bilingual creates a powerful link in different people from different countries.
A bilingual education offers better curriculum results.The bilinguals tend to show a higher performance in examinations and tests.The bilinguals find it quite easy to learn and speak three,four or more languages.
Being bilingual offers potential employment benefits.It offers a wider choice of jobs in various fields.The bilinguals can get a great many career opportunities in transport,tourism,public relations,marketing and sales,banking,translation,law,teaching and so on.
So it can be concluded from the above that we should try our best to learn and master two or more languages.

2.Some days you wake up and right when you are going to begin your work,you feel a presence within you that stops you from doing so.You don't want to work today and you don't feel motivated to do anything but just escape.Without this motivation,you feel a little hopeless,lost,and stuck.But sometimes even if there is no motivation,you can still feel inspired.
Connect the Dots
Steve Jobs has never finished college.After studying in college for 6months,he couldn't see the value in it and dropped out.Not knowing where to go in life,he decided to take a class in calligraphy (书法).Ten years later,he designed something that has affected the different types of typography (排版) that we use today.If he hadn't dropped out in college,he would never have taken that calligraphy class,and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography.
Sometimes when you're trying to reach a goal,it's impossible to connect the dots where you currently are.Somehow you just have to trust yourself,and have faith that you will reach your dreams,despite not having the slightest clue or perfectly laid-out road to where you are going.Nobody can connect the dots looking forward; you only can connect them when you're looking backwards.You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in the future; you have to trust in something,whether it's destiny (天数,命运) or not,but trusting yourself is the first step towards feeling inspired and having the motivation to move forward.
Perfect Your Environment
Look around your room right now or your workspace.Does it inspire you?Does it give you motivation?Is it noisy or quiet?Sometimes the hardest thing we do to ourselves is try to force ourselves to work in an area that is subconsciously telling us,"I can't work here."
And when you are constantly trying to discipline yourself,you will feel worse and be less productive.Instead try to build your ideal workplace and ideal time.Perhaps add a piece of artwork or a quote of your favorite person nearby you on the wall.Maybe add a beautiful plant in the corner to give you inspiration.If you feel more energy and enthusiasm during the night,schedule your day to work at midnight if you can.If you can realize the power of having a productive environment,you will naturally feel inspired and motivated to get work done.
Don't Work So Hard
If you're trying to force your way into taking action,it could be a sign that you are working too hard.Most people won't wake up and waste an hour imagining,thinking further,or confirming,and the first thing they think about is asking"what do I need to do today?"And when they get the answer,they feel miserable,as if their work suddenly weighs them down.But if you spend time focusing on your goals,you'll receive good feelings-feelings that help you feel inspired and motivated to take real action.
Don't try to paddle upstream.That just basically equals saying to yourself that you need to force yourself to work hard every day.Instead,paddle along the stream of the river.Trust yourself,let your environment work in your favor,and spend some a little bit of time putting yourself in a state before you work.Inspiration will come to you from different ways-inside and outside-and give you the motivation to guide yourself towards reaching your dreams.
Brief IntroductionLacking motivation makes you feel (71)unwilling  to do anything and even feel hopeless,lost and stuck.However you can still feel inspired sometimes though you don't have (72)motivation.
(73)How/waysto feel
inspired
Connect
the dots
●Steve Jobs'success indicates that the dots will somehow connect in the future,(74)despite the fact that you don't have the slightest clue or perfectly laid-out road to where you go currently.
●Just (75)trust yourself that you will reach your goal,which is the first step towards inspiration and motivation.
Perfect the
environment
●The worst thing is that you're (76)forced/made to work in an area where you are unable to work.
●You are supposed to build an ideal workplace and ideal time,and then you will be likely to feel better and (77)produce  more.
●A perfect environment will naturally (78)help/make you feel inspired and motivated.
Don't work
so hard
Forcing your way into taking action could be a sign that you are working too hard but (79)focusing/concentrating on your goals could help you feel inspired and motivated to take real action.
Summary(80)Instead of forcing yourself to work hard every day,you need to trust yourself,build a favorable environment,spend time putting yourself in a state and surely you will get inspiration to guide you towards achieving your dreams.
