1．I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves，most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of．In fact，I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in opinion by creating worlds we could step into，take part in and live in．
With this belief，I，at fourteen，decided to become a writer．Here too，reading became useful．Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say，but being unable to find the right ways to say it．He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with．He cannot write without loving to read，because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works，what doesn't and，in the end，together with lots of practice，what voice he has．
Now I am in college，and have come to realize how important it is to read books．Reading reminds me that there is life beyond my own．It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road，all from the comfort of my own armchair，to experience，though secondhand，exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime．

20．Have you ever heard："Tuhao，let‘s be friends？"Are you puzzled，（61）wondering（wonder） what it means？Then you‘re possibly out of date．
Nowadays，the Chinese words，"tuhao"and"dama"，have become so familiar with many Chinese people（62）thatthey often tease each other when chatting about the daily life．For example，if you take out your newly-bought iPhone appealing（63）toanyone else，your naughty friends may call you-"tuhao"，laughing loudly．And They insist that you（64）bewealthier than them．
（65）Amazingly（amaze），the two wildly popular words have become hot words in English too．Recently，"tuhao"（66）has been translated（translate） into English as"new money"（暴发户） on the Internet．Besides，The Wall Street Journal has also borrowed"dama"from the Chinese pinyin to describe bargain-hunting middle-aged Chinese women in the（67）global（globe） gold market．Experts say Chinese language's influence on English will continue during（68）theentire 21st century and these two words are just appropriate（69）evidences（evident） of this prediction．So，（70）itis expected that"tuhao"will be welcomed by the Oxford University Press to appear in the new word lists．

19．Kids'health：Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed from time to time．（36）CSome ways of dealing with stress-like screaming or hitting someone-don't solve much．But other ways，like talking to someone you trust，can lead you to solving your problem or at least let you feel better．
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed：
（1）Get support．When you need help，reach out to the people who care about you．Talk to a trusted adult，such as a parent or other relatives．（37）FThey might have had similar problems，such as dealing with a test，or the death of a beloved pet．
（2）Don't take it out on yourself．Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves．Oh，dear，that's not a good idea．Remember that there are always people to help you．Don't take it out on yourself．（38）A
（3）Try to solve the problem．After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends，it's time to get down to business．（39）EEven if you can't solve it all，you can solve a piece of it．
（4）Be positive．Most stress is temporary．Remember stress does go away，especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it．
These steps aren't magic，but they do work．And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time，you'll help yourself feel better even faster．（40）D

A．Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation．
B．Notice your friends'feelings and find a way to help them．

G．Then，find a way to calm down．

18．Given that many people's moods （情绪） are managed by the chemical action of chocolate，it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine．Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory，Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility （CRF） has over 100varieties of chocolates．Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents'store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets．

The CRF's produce is"green"，made within the country and divided into 10lines，with the Alcohol Series being the most popular．The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper，red bean （豆），cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste．And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others，the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo，Cuba，Venezuela，and Ghana，among others．

16．I work in a nursing home and my job is to take care of the elderly．
This year，a very sweet old lady that I cared for，Alice，had gone through a difficult time．She got dementia and so she had been in hospital twice．In November I was finally able to get her back to her"home"．
Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas Day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days．When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen，she was very sad．Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy．I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!
On Christmas Eve，I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night．Instead of taking her to my church，I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were．We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in．Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her．
The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there．The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift：the smile on Alice's face．
