13．Real-life Room Escape Games
Real-life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use the things in the room to settle a series of puzzles，find clues，and escape the room within a set time limit．
The games are based off Escape the Room video games，such as Crimson Room and QP-Shot，created by TAKAGISM Inc．by Toshimitsu Takagi in 2005，in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape．（16）G Other inspirations include adventure board games and movies．Real-life room escape games are becoming popular in the United States，Japan，and China．（17）AFor example，some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations．
（18）FSoon，they were exported to North America，Asia and Australia．Examples include the two pioneer companies Hint Hunt and Adventure Rooms．
The games were so successful that new locations began opening up across China，in cities big and small，according to Want China Times．In the southern city of Shenzhen，for example，the first escape game location opened last August．（19）B"These real-life escape games can help those who stay at home on their computers and iPads all day to experience real social circles，"Tian Xiaochuan，who owns two room escape game stores in Jinan，told Want China Times．
Earlier this year，The South China Morning Post said the real-life escape games are a hit among"highly stressed students and overworked young professionals．"（20）DSome players get so involved that they tear down equipment or decorations inside their"prisons"，as Zhu Yumeng，chief operating officer of Beijing room escape game store Taoquan told China Daily．

A．Each game adds local themes to settings．
B．And seven new game locations quickly followed．
C．They should also be brave enough to face their fears．

F．Permanent real life escape games in a fixed location were first opened in Europe．
G．Players must be observant and use their critical thinking skills to escape the room．

12．Feeling both positive and negative emotions is a natural part of being human．We might use the word"negative"to describe more difficult emotions，but it doesn't mean those emotions are bad or we shouldn't have them．Still，most people would probably rather feel a positive emotion than a negative one．（31）E．
What matters is how our emotions are balanced-how much of each type of emotion，positive or negative，we experience．
Negative emotions warn us of threats or challenges that we may need to deal with．For example，fear can alert us to possible danger．（32）C．Angry feelings warn us that someone is stepping on our toes，crossing a boundary，or violating our trust．Anger can be a signal that we might need to act on our own behalf．
Negative emotions focus our awareness．（33）D．But too many negative emotions can make us feel anxious，exhausted，or stressed out．When negative emotions are out of balance，problems might seem too big to handle．
Positive emotions balance out negative ones，but they have other powerful benefits，too．Instead of narrowing our focus like negative emotions do，positive emotions affect our brains in ways that increase our awareness，attention，and memory．They help us take in more information and hold several ideas in mind at once．（34）F．
When positive emotions open us up to new possibilities，we are more able to learn and build on our skills．（35）B．

A．What helps you feel confident？
B．That leads to doing better on tasks and tests．
C．It's a signal that we might need to protect ourselves．
D．They help us focus on a problem so we can deal with it．
E．For example，it's likely you'd prefer to feel happy instead of sad．
F．And they then make us understand how different ideas relate to each other．
G．Pay attention to these powerful tools and find ways to make time for them．

11．Forgiveness
To forgive is a virtue，but no one has ever said it is easy．When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate．However，forgiveness is possible，and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health．People who forgive show less sadness，anger and stress and more hopefulness，according to a recent research．
（36）B Try the following steps：
Calm yourself．（37）F You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love．
Don't wait for an apology．Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize．They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way．（38）G Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you．
Take the control away from your offender（冒犯者）．Rethinking about you hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain．Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you．
（39）D If you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love．You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view．
Don't forget to forgive yourself．（40）E But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it．

A．Why should you forgive？
B．How should you start to forgive？
C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness．
D．Try to see things from you offender's angle．
E．For some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge．
F．To make your anger die away，try a simple stress-management technique．
G．If you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time．

10．Four goals for Perfect Life
Healthy and Fit
The first goal common to all of us is health and energy．（36）GToday，with the incredible advances in medical science，the quality of our health and fitness，and our lifespan（寿命），is largely determined by design，not by chance．People with excellent health habits are far healthier，have more energy，and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits．
Excellent Relationships
（37）FFully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage，and in each area，of your life．How well you get along with people，and how much they like，love and respect you，has more impact on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor．
Do What You Love
The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy，to do it well，and to be well paid for it．（38）E．You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career，whatever you do．
（39）B
The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence．（40）D．You want to be completely free of financial worries．You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without using the price listings to determine what you want to eat．

A．You don't want to get the job．
B．Achieve Financial Independence
C．Money is the most important．
D．You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have to worry about money again．
E．You want to be able to get and keep the job you want，to get paid more and promoted faster．
F．The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships--intimate，personal or social--with the people we like and respect，and who like，love and respect us in turn．
G．We all want to be healthy and fit，to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness．

9．●Does failure really exist？
If you believe you have failed，then you have．If you believe you don't have the ability to succeed，then you don't．（36）B The moment you decide to give up or stop working toward your goals，failure is born．
●（37）A
Most people give themselves an out without even realizing it．They are willing to work hard on reaching their goals，but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down． Don't do that!（38）FNever quit，never admit failure，and never lose heart．
●Don't believe in a clear finish line for goals．
It's a good idea to set a general timeline，but remember that something will be beyond your control．（39）EIf you lock yourself into a given timeline，you might make yourself feel like a failure!Instead，get a general idea of when you'd like your goal to be completed． Then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible．
●Be sure that you don't see difficulties as failures．
Difficulties mean only one thing：it's not time for your goal to be completed yet．That's it!It doesn't mean you failed； it doesn't mean you're weak； it doesn't mean you'll never achieve your goals．（40）D You've got to keep moving forward and find a way over，around，or through the difficulties．

A． Never give up on yourself．
B． Failure only exists in your own mind!
C． That's exactly how failure makes us feel．
D． It simply means you have not done enough yet．
E． You can never say exactly when your goal will be reached．
F． Instead，make up your mind to make your goal happen，no matter what!

6．Interesting Greeting Customs in Different Countries
To build a good relationship with foreigners，you should know the customs of the country you visit．This passage will help you earn the trust of the natives．
Japan
Japanese people follow both customs of shaking hands and bowing when greeting．You need to respond as the host does，either by bowing or shaking hands．This is different form the Ukrainian style of greeting．There，you should be ready to present your right cheek，on which three kisses will be planted by the natives，along with a hug．
China
Chinese people accept the western handshake，but with a lighter grip （握）．Looking straight into the eyes while greeting is considered rude in China； it is better to receive the greeting with lowered eyes as a mark of respect．Moreover，in Chinese culture a new friend is greeted with applause．It is interesting that Tibetans show their tongue to people as a gesture of politeness．This means they have no ill thoughts about them．
The Arabic World
In some Arabic countries，speaking to the women is not allowed for a foreigner，let alone any other body contact．Men may greet each other with a hug and kiss on both cheeks，followed by a lasting handshake．As a non-Arabic woman，you must wait for the Arabic men to offer their hand to shake，as it is not common in Arabia to shake hands with women．
Russia
Russians prefer a firm handshake followed by a bear hug，especially to a known acquaintance．Even kissing the cheeks of both men and women are popular，but only for Russian men．Similarly in Europe and Latin America，kissing the cheeks is also a popular custom．But for Latin Americans，kissing the top of a lady's hand after a soft handshake is more popular．Don't take the hand before the complete handshake is done，as this will be taken as a rejection．

5．Currently，an increasing number of parents are puzzled．On the （61）one hand，they spare no efforts to offer comfortable living and learning conditions for their children．On the other hand，what worries them is that too comfortable conditions might contribute to （62）spoiling （spoil） children without good qualities like perseverance，determination and etc．
I hold a firm （63）belief （believe） that hard life does good （64）tochildren．Children from poor families are usually independent and have strong will．Hardships make them understand that their future （65）lies （lie） in their own hands．They are grateful for （66）what/whatever is available，and they are aware that complaints are only a source of（67）disappointment （disappoint）．
（68）With the rapid development of China's economy，people's living standards are greatly improved．However，I strongly believe that every child，poor or rich，（69）is （be） supposed to experience hard life，（70）which makes them realize the importance of valuing the present life and prepare for the future．

4．A young person is said to have a behavior disorder when his or her behavior is noticeably different from that expected in the school or community．This can also be stated in simpler terms as a child who is not doing what adults want him to do at a particular time．Children with this disorder often seem to be behaving in different and socially unacceptable ways．
    Like learning disabilities，behavior disorders are hard to diagnose．There are no physical symptoms in the body that are observable or measurable．Behavior disorders are therefore identified by observing behavior patterns in the child over a period of time．If a child displays some of the following behaviors，he may be labeled with a behavior disorder：
◆Aggression and cruelty to people and animals．
◆Destruction of property-defacing or damaging things．
◆Little sympathy and concern for others．
◆Takes no responsibility for behavior．Also lies，cheats and steals easily．
◆Disregards rules and regulations．
    In addition to these general symptoms of a behavior disorder，there are other symptoms characteristic of more specific behavior disorders such as ADHD-this is the inattentive，can't-sit-still behavior．The attention can't last long and the behavior is impulsive at times．The child also seems quite distracted and forgetful．
     Behavior disorders come from brain injury，child abuse，and shock，etc．There have also been indications that it could be a genetic disorder．The behavior therefore is an involuntary response to these experiences and the child should not be blamed for his behavior．Since the child has problems controlling his behavior，it stands to reason that his performance in school will be affected．A child with a behavior disorder will feel bad about himself and that low self-esteem will be further worsened by the adults around him who do not treat his condition with understanding and willingness to help．
     Behavior disorders are best dealt with by behavior and psychological treatments．But，as with learning disabilities，accurate diagnosis is important and this must be over a length of time．It is also important in trying to modify the behavior to be clear about what is the behavior you are expecting．Make sure it is a rational expectation．For example，expecting a three-year-old to sit quietly through a long church service may not be reasonable，or demanding that a six-year-old does extra home work after a long day of school and extra curricular activities may be stretching the child's concentration and attention too far．Since some behavior disorders result from shocking and upsetting life experiences or brain injury，treatments should include helping the child to resolve and heal emotionally from the experience．The behavior could be corrected through emotional healing．In other words，when a human being is emotionally healthy，that is，can be aware of his intelligence and enthusiasm for life and his loving connectedness to other human beings，he automatically"behaves"rationally．
