Bicycle Commuting
I may not be a movie star, best-selling author, or millionaire when Igrow up,but one thing I will be known for, at least locally,is commuting by bicycle. Is sad to see how few people do even though many could. Lots of people eagerly campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gases, but by driving cars, theyre sill contributing to the problem.
You might be picturing me as an extreme environmentalist (环保主义者),but Im not one
of those teenagers who wear shirts that say "Help save the world: Recycle." Actually,my interest in exercise, health, and fitness led me to cycling.
Cycling can help you lose weight, improve your health, and prevent many diseases. Cycling also carries a relatively low chance of injury.
While being good for your body, bicycle commuting is also a great way to cut greenhouse gases.
Many environmentalists recycle,plant tees, and drive hybrid cars (混合动力汽车),but bicycle commuting could be even more effective than all of those combined. You could cut down the amount of greenhouse gases just by commuting by bicycle a few times a week.
Bicycle commuting saves money too. When you buy your bicyde and the things that usually go with it. You might be shocked by the cost. But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save a significant amount each year by not driving a car.
You might think that you dont have time for bicycle commuting Actually. you probably do.
You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity. It helps you care for the environment , save money, and most importantly get fit.

Spilt (打翻的) Milk
I recenly heard a story about a famous scientist who had made severa l very important medical achievements. He was asked why he was so much more creative than the average person.
He responded that it all came from an experience when he was about two. He hadbeen trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip (紧握) and it fell,spilling (打翻) the milk alI over the floor.
When his mother came into the ki tchen, instead of yelling at him, or punishing
him,she said, ”Robert, what a wonderful mess you have made!”Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to play in the milk for a few. minutes before we clean it up?”
Indeed, he did。After a few minutes, his mother said,” Rober, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up. So,how would youlike to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵) or a towel, Which do you prefer?" He chose
the sponge, and together they cleaned up the spilt milk.
His mother then said,“You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in, how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Lets go out in the,back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it" The litle boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands,he could carry it without dropping it.
The scientist remarked that it was then that he knew he didn t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, mistakes were just opportunities for 1 earmi ng something new,which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the
experiment doesnt work, ”we usually learn something valuable from it。

Medicalschools teach a speific way to conduct an office visit. Part one is the complaint._ 28__ Part two in the physical exam. And part three is when the doctor gives you a diagnosis and pescrbesrsts or a teatment Chances are, you focus on part three, but the patients who receive the best care are those who master part one.

_29_ _ Even though I ve been a doctor for many years, I tend to be a lttle nervouswhen I m the one sitting on the exam table. If I haven t prepared, I lose track of the details I inended to share_ _30_ When the. doctor asks you questions,you can be more specifie, and the diagnosis and treatment will be more accurate.

Red Nose Day
Red Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK The aim of the day is to raise money for Comic Relief. This is a charity that helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.
Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films“Four Weddings and a Funeral" and“Notting Hill". Richard started Comic Relief in response to the severe famine in Ethiopia. Its called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.
Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring. It is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday.
The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money," The money that was collected was used to help fund projects in such areas as education and mental health. Money-raising events take place on this day all over the country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.
In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels.
This is like a television marathon (马拉松) that shows some of the events of the day and reports how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events onto the Internet.

Those Who Ride on Two Wheels
In the United States there are six million tennis players and twelve million gofers.
These figures would not surprise most people. But many would be surprised to learn that twenty million Americans ride motorcycles (摩托车) Few people realize that motorcycling is fast becoming one of Americas most popular sports.
According to the Cycle News, many kinds of people enjoy motorcycling. They include black people and white people, businessmen, professionals, and blue- collar workers, Among them, about 55% are businessmen, 3% are in the professions and 9% in government service.
Such information is offered by the Cycle News in the hope of improving the general; publics impression of the sport. The public has tended to believe that all motorcyclists are wild and lawless young men.
There are several things about motorcycling that the average citizen dislikes. A motorcyclists appearance has something to do with this dislike. Motorcyclists often look dirty; in fact, they are dirty. On the road, there is little to protect them from mud.
For practical reasons, they often dress in old clothing which looks much less respectable than the clothing of people who ride in cars. For the same reason, motorcyclists usually wear dark colors. Perhaps this helps to explain why they are sometimes suspected of having bad natures.
Probably motorcycles themselves also produce anger and fear. They are noisy, though some trucks are even noisier. But trucks are acceptable because they perform a needed service. Motorcycles, on the other hand, make an uncomfortable noise just to give their riders pleasure. Roaring along quiet streets they wake sleeping families and make babies cry.
Yet, as motorcycling becomes more and more common, it will be interesting to see how people in general feel about the sport, Perhaps it will someday become as“respectable" as tennis or golf.
12. According to the Cycle News, over half of the motorcyclists are__.
A black people
C. businessmen
B. white people
D. professionals
13. The Cycle News wants to__.
A make motorcyclists lawful citizens
B. improve the image of motorcycling
C persuade people to buy motorcycles D. raise the status of blue collar workers
14. Motorcyclists usually wear dark colors because__.
A they want to be respectable
C. the colors look different
B. they want to be impressive
D. the colors suit their sport
15. Some people dislike the motorcycle because it is__.
A. noisy
B. heavy;
C. costly,
D. illegal

How to Forgive, Forget and Let Go
①Forgiving someone does not mean releasing them from an earlier guilt. What if the person who wronged you is not living? What if the person is someone who made you extremely embarrassed during school 20 or 30 years ago? Letting go of emotional pain does not mean that nothing happened; it means that you no longer want to be controlled by it.
② Recognize that forgiveness is not denial. Whatever caused the pain was a real incident, Denying that i happened means in is too painful to work through the emotions. There is Do timeline on forgiveness. Some steps take longer to get through and it is acceptable to set them aside for a period of time Part of forgiveness is understanding whether or not someone takes responsibility for what happened, and may even show regret.
③ Understand that not everyone who forgives reconciles with the person who caused the pain There are relationships that are harmful and even physically dangerous. While it is possible to forgive the past and more beyond it, it may also mean that the people who was involved can no longer play an active role in your life.
If a person or situation is not safe. it may be best not to reconcile the relationship now. Work on forgiveness at a time when you are emotionally healthy and physically safe.
④Make a conscious decision to forgive someone. Even if they never apologize for what happened, determine within yourself that it is fine to proceed without this apology Apologies should not be asking for forgiveness Apologies should be offered as an effort of true regret: They should be admitting that taking personal responsibility for the situation is important. Even without that apology, make up your mind to forgive, forget, and eventually let go.

Natural Resources
Throughout history, people have often selected where they want to live based on the natural resources that are available in the area. _ 26 Some of these resources include water, food sources such as fruits and vegetables, and animals that can be caught or hunted.
