If you find out that your best friend is developing feeling for you and the feelings are in no way mutual (共通的), the sooner you communicate this the better .
Sometimes having to be the person who does the rejecting is1 than being rejected,2 the person you have to hurt is your dearest friend. The key is to be gentle, but not so gentle that he or she doesn’t get it. If you 3 it before he says anything , it is possible you can4him some of the humiliation(羞辱). You can just happen to mention that you are so happy that you don’t have to5 the ups and downs of romance with him. “Aren’t we lucky to have such a close friendship without having to worry about?” If he brings it up to you, just remember6 kind to his heart. So many things you could say have become a cliché(老生常谈), such as “ I don’t want to risk losing what we have now.” Of course, if that is how you feel then say it anyway. The most reassuring thing you can do for him is to7 not to let his admission hurt the friendship. Even though the first response will be to the “rejection” later, he or she will worry about the friendship 8. If you want to show the ultimate respect, keep it9 the two of you. Resist the temptation to tell others. Otherwise, this will only hurt your friend10.
11, if the feelings between the two of you are12, then this can be a very happy moment. Don’t let your fears ruin it. Yes, it is 13 to venture into new territory with someone you have been close with as a friend. But the good news is you already know each other well and you like each other. There is always a risk of losing the friendship when and if you 14, but if you both agree you aren’t going to let that happen, the risk factor 15 .

It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes. The 1is based on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by2situations that has designed for the 3children.
There can be little doubt that4classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these5 out of the regular classes was created serious problems.
I observed a number of6students who were taken out of a special class and placed in7class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying8on their teachers’ directions. In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect9on many problems. Some of which were not on the school program.
Many are concerned that gifted children become10 and lose interest in learning. However, this11is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these12simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are 13. Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they14so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious. The gifted child who is bored is an15 child.

An independent college claimed to have become the first school in England to make Chinese a compulsory (强制的) subject for its pupils.
Richard Cairns, the headmaster of Brighton College, said the move aims to recognize the importance of China as the world’s fastest growing economy.
Chinese will become one of the core subjects at the 1,200-pupil college from September. At present the school has only a “handful” of native Chinese students, but it hopes to attract more in the future.
Mr Cairns, who made the announcement in his first week as head of the high-achieving college, said, “One of my key tasks is to make sure that the pupils at Brighton College are equipped for the realities of the 21st century, and one of those realities is that China has the fastest growing economy in the world.
“China has replaced Britain as the world’s fourth-largest economy. We in Britain need to face up to this challenge, see it for the trading opportunity that it is, and ensure that our nation’s children are well-placed to thrive (茁壮成长) in this new global reality.
“A better understanding of the language and culture of China will be hugely important to the advantage of the children of Brighton College.”
Mr Cairns said he hoped the Chinese children already at the college would help and encourage their fellow pupils to learn their language.
In order to lead the way, Mr Cairns, a historian from Oxford, plans to take part in the first Chinese class as a pupil. “I have agreed to join the first Chinese class as a pupil. I think it is the best way for me to show the pupils here how important I regard this new addition to our core subjects.”

An old man had been working for many years for a town. His job was to clear away natural waste from the pool water in the hills, which made up the lovely river flowing through the town nearby. Quietly and1, the old man guarded the hills,2the leaves and branches, and cleaned up the dirt that would have3and polluted the fresh flow of water . The town soon became a popular attraction for tourists. Elegant swans (天鹅) floated along the clear river and the view was so beautiful4words.
Years passed. One evening the town5met. As they reviewed the budget, one man’s6 caught sight of the salary7being paid to the seldom seen keeper of the river. He asked , “Who is the old man? Why do we 8to employ him? No one in town ever9him. For all we know, the strange keeper of the hills isn’t doing his job. His position isn’t10any longer.” Then they voted to11the man.
For several weeks, nothing changed….
By early autumn, the trees began to12their leaves. Small branches broke off and fell into the pools of the hills,13the flow of the shining water. One afternoon, someone noticed a slight yellowish-brown14in the river. A few days later, the water was much15. Within another week, an oily something covered some sections of the water along the banks, and a terrible16was soon sensed. Swans left and so did the17. The only thing that was now visiting the village was disease and sickness.
Quickly, the18town committee called a special meeting. Realizing their huge error in19, they rehired the old keeper of the river again, and within a few weeks, the river began to clear up. Swans and tourists came back again and new life returned to the small town in the Alps.
Never ignore the seeming smallness of a task, job or life. They may all make a20.

A school teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few1. Each tomato will be given a name of a person that the child2, so the number of tomatoes that a child will put in the plastic bag will depend on the number of people the child hates.
So when the day came, every3brought some tomatoes. Some had two; some three while some up to five tomatoes. The teacher then told the children to4with them the tomatoes in the plastic5wherever they go.
Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the6smell let out by the rotten tomatoes. Besides, those having more tomatoes had to carry7bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.
The teacher asked: “How did you8while carrying the tomatoes with you for 19?”
The children let out their frustrations and started10of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and11tomatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the12.
“This is exactly the13when you carry your hatred(憎恨) for somebody inside your heart. The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your14and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten tomatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the smell of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”
So15others is that best attitude to take!

People always say that the earlier one learns a language, the 1 it is to do so, in theory it is that, 2, in my opinion, that refers to spoken language. Capability to practise some essential 3 of a language and read between the lines can only be trained through proper reading ways and hard work 4. So spending money to help 5 learn English may 6 with disappointment. It is likely that the more you 7, the more you are let down.
The daughter of one of my friends 8 English in primary school, 9 her foreign teacher’s blindness 10 psychology. She did not want to go on 11 English until middle school, 12 a college student studying in English slowly 13 her interest in the language.
It is better to have the child learn Chinese, than to have some difficulty 14 learning English for several years. Having been engaged in English education, 15 find that despite their excellent 16, many students have 17 command of English words and phrases. So I suggest that children 18 classical Chinese prose, rather than 19 them to learn English hurriedly. Otherwise, they may 20 the best time to improve the language ability of their mother tongue.(www.yygrammar.com)

After three hours of this I told the manager I’d 18.He figured I had 1969 cents at 23 cents an hour.With the money, I left the working place.“Easy job.Good wages.” came to my brain again.Looking at my hands, I20myself, “Can easy job get good wages？”

Good posture certainly shows good health. It also adds to a body's energy and beauty. The body is not handsome when the back is bent and neck thrusts forward. Bad posture suggests the impression that a person is tired，lacking in energy，bored，or weak. Tiredness may sometimes be the cause of bad posture. Most often，however，it is due to careless and poor health habits. Whatever it causes，bad posture affects one physically. The muscles are stretched and pulled into unnatural positions，which can lead to poor base of the body's various systems.
Nutrition is the study of how the body takes food and uses it. This science provides information about the kinds of food a person must eat to improve and maintain good health. Such knowledge helps him develop and form people habits to his problems of healthful living. People habits of nutrition can be developed by paying attention to:(1) the variety of food included in the diet；(2) the quality of each kind of food eaten. A diet，or the food regularly eaten，must contain all the necessary factors.
Many physicians believe that overweight is one of the greatest dangers to good health. This condition often leads to a shorter life. An overweight person is also easier to suffer disease, and various disorders of the digestive system. A person’s weight directly has something to do with the amounts of food he eats.
