I still remember how nervously I was on my first day in the new school ten years ago，when I found difficult to follow my teacher in the first English class．The teacher spoke English throughout the class，that was totally different from the lessons I had been taken before．In the morning class the next day，the English teacher came to me while I am reading the text aloud as other students．After listen to me for a while，she gave me a big smile and said he liked my voice very much．The smile shone on a whole day and the following days，as a result of that I began to be confident．A week later，I voluneered to take charge of English study in my class and my English is now been improved steadily．

20．How can we all get more laughter into our lives？Here are what the experts suggest：
（36）B．Nancy Alguire，a teacher in Clifton Park，N．Y．，was once painfully shy and had a hard time laughing．Then she married a circus clown （小丑）．"I became interested in the clowns．"she recalls．"One day I put on a costume and painted my face．That afternoon my whole life changed．I learned to laugh and enjoy life in a way I had never done before．"（37）G To this day，she still makes it a rule to be with people who enjoy life and laughing．
（38 ）D It doesn't take you too much time and can be easy．Collect favourite cartoons and jokes．Also，keep a paper for writing down humour you find in everyday life．"Good ideas come and go fast，you have to capture them quickly or they will be gone．"says Virginia Tooper．
Laugh when you need it most．"（39）A"says comedian Bill Cosby．"And once you find laughter，no matter how painful your situation might be，you can survive it．"he insists．
Gray Alan，a sociology professor at the University of Minnesota，claims that laughter is a skill we can all gain-because it comes naturally．（40）F．Just remember：we are just here for a period，so get a few laughs．

19．We all like watching online videos （视频） of dogs and cats doing funny things．But if you had to decide，which of the two animals would you like better？Your answer may show something about your personality （个性）．
According to a study led by Sam Gosling，a scientist at the University of Texas，USA，dog people are about 15% more outgoing and 13% more pleasant to be friends with than cat people．
This is not hard to understand，since cats and dogs behave differently themselves．"Cats will sometimes engage in games，but usually after only a few minutes，they will give up the game．Dogs，on the other hand，will often engage in games，like fetching a thrown ball，for hours at a time，"said Modern Dog Magazine．
Although cat people are less social，Gosling's study showed that they are 11% more open-minded than dog people．They usually like art，adventures and unusual ideas．They also have more imagination and curiosity．But dog people are more likely to keep traditional （传统的） beliefs and interests．
However，their love of a free life style also means that cat people dislike making plans．They just follow whatever ideas come into their heads without planning ahead．But dog people are different．They usually have strong self-control and like to carry out their plans．
Despite （尽管有） these big differences between dog people and cat people，there are some things that they have in common，"Both types of people consider themselves close to nature，dislike animal-print clothing and are generally optimists （乐天派），"said Mother Nature Network．
But can personality change？Can a cat person become a dog person，or the other way around？In a study done by Stanley Coren，a scientist in Canada，he asked cat owners："If you had enough living space and there were no objections （反对） form other people in your life，and someone gave you a little dog as a gift，would you keep it？"
About 68% of them said they would not accept a dog as a pet．But when dog owners wereasked the same question about a kitten （小猫），almost 70% said they would allow a little cat into their lives．

18．Across Britain，burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to delivertheir supermarket bunches of flowersBut，according to a new study，we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year．
Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work．Now，the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours，they would earn as much as£172，000a year．
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do，as well as the hours they are working，to determine the figure．This would make their yearly income£30，000more than the Prime Minister earns．
By analyzing the numbers，it found the average mother works 119hours a week，40of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79hours as overtime．After questioning 1，000mothers with children under 18，it found that，on most days，mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm．
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour，it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on，including housekeeper，part-time lawyer，personal trainer and entertainer．Being a part-time lawyer，at£48，98an hour，would prove to be te most profitable of the"mum jobs"，with psychologist（心理学家） a close second．
It also asked mothers about the challenges they face，with 80per cent making emotional（情感的） demand as the hardest thing about motherhood．
Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends．
The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother's Day．The emotional，physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending，but children are also sources of great joy and happiness．Investing（投入） in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent．
