【题目】My son Cameron who was 16 years old came up with this crazy idea to make his own survival show. Well I thought it was just another one of his “phases” but he began to sound more and more serious about it. He’s a big outdoors man and has always loved the idea of surviving in the woods by himself, but he has never done anything like this. Anyway, he somehow raised $4,000 for his idea. With the money he bought a nice camcorder(摄像机) ;that’s when I realized that he was really serious about this whole thing.

Cameron organized the trip all by himself. I just put out a few rules that he had to follow and rented a satellite phone so that he could contact us on his journey. My son traveled nearly 50 miles, while surviving for four days and three nights alone in the wilderness. He had no food or water, only his knife, and a camera. The journey was difficult as he traveled through valleys, up and down big waterfalls, all while he was filming his entire journey. The wilderness we dropped him off in was a wild forest that is made up of untouched land; he found his way to the beautiful lake where we picked him up. In the end he made the most amazing movie that I have ever seen in all my life.

My son’s courage should be recognized. That is why I am trying my hardest to get him seen by the rest of the world. Cameron recently turned 17. He already has plans for his next adventure and I have no hope in stopping him from completing it. This next summer he plans on surviving for two or three weeks on a desert island in Fiji or Tonga. No teenage kid has ever done anything close to what my son Cameron has done.

【题目】A white elephant gift exchange is a popular holiday party game in, the United States. Generally, the party needs at least six participants, and' the larger the group: is, the more entertaining the game will be. 1But it can result in heated competitions between players trying to get the gifts.

2Sometimes, the rule is that the item must be previously owned, which means that you can exchange an unwanted item or trinket(小装饰品) with your friends. But sometimes you can buy a new but inexpensive item just for the party.

Every participant is expected to bring one wrapped(包装好的) gift. A white elephant gift is usually something useless or inconvenient.3 Guests are asked to wrap them nicely and leave no identifying markings on the presents.

To start the game, a participant must act as the first player to choose a gift; this can be decided randomly or by picking numbers out of a hat. 4As for the next player? This person can either “steal” the first person’s gift or choose an unwrapped item from the pile. Each gift can be stolen only three times before it is considered "dead".

5Any person that has to give up a gift can also pick a new gift or steal one from another person. Each turn is only allowed three swaps between the current player and the previous players. The game won't finish until all the presents are opened.

A. It all depends on how the game is organized.

B. This process is repeated until the game is over.

C. Don’t forget that the game’s purpose is to have fun.

D. The first player then opens the gift in front of everyone.

F. The goal of the party is usually entertainment rather than gain.

G. Trinkets, unidentifiable kitchen items and toys are typical “white elephants” .

【题目】1You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how:

Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. . Then decide a good, regular time for studying.2A weekly schedule(安排) may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.

Make good use of your time in class.3Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.

Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, preview the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, and read that material.4If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.

No personal success, achievement, or goal, can be realized without self-discipline. It is the ability to control one's impulses, emotions, desires and behavior. To possess it is to be able to make the decisions, take the actions, and carry out your plan regardless of the obstacles, discomfort, or difficulties, that may come your way.
How to develop self-discipline? We'll explore it together.
· Start with baby steps. No process takes place overnight. So, begin by making the decision to go forward and learning what it takes to get there.

Remove the temptations and surround yourself with encouraging items such as motivating slogans and pictures of what you want to achieve.
· Make certain behaviors a routine. Once you have decided what's important to you and which goals to strive for , establish a daily routine that will help you achieve them. They can put you in a negative frame of mind and hinder(阻碍)your self-discipline. A poor attitude can also be a bad habit.
