All residents:Rules for living in Parkrise Flats
We all want to live comfortably and safely here,so here are a few simple rules which we think all residents should follow.
Rubbish
Rubbish collection is on Tuesdays.Please do not leave rubbish bags out before Tuesday as birds and animals can break into them and they smell.
Washing
There is a washing line for every flat in the garden next to the car park.Please only dry your washing on these lines so it does not disturb(干扰)people in the ground floor flats.
Cleaning
The main stairs are cleaned twice a week by the Association,so please try to keep them tidy and clean and do not leave furniture or bags on the stairs or in the hallways.
Lights
The main lights are on a timer and they stay on for five minutes whey you press them.Please tell the Association if any lights are not working.
Noise
Residents are asked to keep noise to a minimum.Loud music,etc.can disturb other people and the Association will get in touch with you if you make too much noise.
Safety
Make sure the main outside door is always locked and do n ot let anyone in to the main building unless you k now who they are.Sometimes people try to get in to the main stairs and then break into flats,so do not let people in unless they are coming to see you.
Parking
Each flat has one car parking space.These are numbered and are at the back of the building.Do not use another resident's space.If you have more than one car you will have to park it on the road.Do not park where you are blocking entrances.
Problems
If you have any problems or questions,please call the Association at 0800 096 9000.

11.One of sweetest memories as a child is of going down to the river and sitting comfortably on the bank.There I would enjoy the peace and quiet,watch the water rush downstream and listen to songs of birds.I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under the pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original state after the wind had died down.
When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bend and move back,the word"resilience"comes to my mind.When it is used for a person,this word means the ability to readily recover(恢复) from shock,sadness or any other suffering.Have you ever felt like you were going to  snap?Have you ever felt like you were at your breaking point?Thankfully,you have survived to talk about it.
Life is a mixture(混合) of good times and bad times,happy moments and unhappy moments.The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point,bend,but don't break.Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
An amount of hope will take you through the unpleasant suffering.With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation,things may not be as bad as they seem.The unpleasant suffering may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.
If things get tough and you are at your breaking point,show resilience.Like the bamboo trees,bend,but don't break!

10.Happiness is for everyone.You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on.
In fact,happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it.When you are in trouble at school,your friends will help you; when you study hard on your lessons,your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success,your friends will say congratulations to you.And when you do something good to others,you will feel happy,too.All these are your happiness.If you notice a bit of them,you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money.It is a feeling of your heart.When you are poor,you can also say you are very happy,because you have something else that can't be bought with money.So you can't always say you are poor and you have bad luck.As the saying goes,life is like a revolving (旋转的) door,when it closes,it also opens.If you take every chance you get,you can be a happy and lucky person.

Fill in the blanks according to the passage.Only one word for each blank.
Everyone (76)hashappiness.In fact,happiness is always around you.When you are in trouble at school,your friends will help you; when you study hard on your lessons,your parents are always (77)lookingafter your life and your health well; when you (78)succeed,your friends will say congratulations to you.All these are your happiness.
Happiness is (79)differentfrom money.It's a feeling of your heart.(80)Unlessyou take every chance you get,you can't have happiness.
8.You'll soon graduate from junior high school and step into a new environment.When you are in the new environment,you must have a strong wish to fit in.Fitting in means making more friends,having more influence on others and getting more chances to live a happier life.Here is some advice that can help.
First,it's improtant to be confident.Everyone is special in this world.Spend some time thinking about your strong points.If so,you will be able to build up confidence day by day.You won't have much difficulty fitting in.
Second,kindness is the bridge to your own happiness.When people notice your kindness,they will return it one day.Always give more than you receive,and think more of others.A person who cares for others is popular everywhere.
Next,to be active in group activities like playing football can help you add more friends to your circle.Go out to dance and sing together with others to develop friendship.
Then,try to smile often.A pleasant smile costs the least and does the most.What will you do when someone smiles at you?You are sure to return a sweet smile.You both send your friendship and love through the smile.
Finally,remember to be humorous.People will like you for making them live happily.
