Recently there has been a heated discussion about how to keep healthy in our class. Most of us
People who have lost the ability to understand or use words due to brain damage are called aphasics（失语症患者）.Such patients can be extremely good at something else.From the changing expressions on speakers' faces and the tones of their voices,they can tell lies from truths.
Doctors studying the human brain have given a number of examples of this amazing power of aphasics.Some have even compared this power to that of a dog with an ability to find out the drugs hidden in the baggage.
Recently,scientists carried out tests to see if all that was said about aphasics was true.They studied a mixed group of people.Some were normal;others were aphasics.It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of the normal people in recognizing false speeches—in most cases,the normal people were fooled by words,but the aphasics were not.
Some years ago,Dr.Oliver Sacks wrote in his book about his experiences with aphasics.He mentioned a particular case in a hospital.Some aphasics were watching the president giving a speech on TV.Since the president had been an actor earlier,making a good speech was no problem for him.He was trying to put his feelings into every word of his speech.
But his way of speaking had the opposite effect on the patients.They didn't seem to believe him.Instead,they burst into laughter.The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of what he was saying.He was lying!
Many doctors see aphasics as people who are not completely normal because they lack the ability to understand words.However,according to Dr.Sacks,they are more gifted than normal people.Normal people may get carried away by words.Aphasics seem to understand human expressions better,though they cannot understand words.
8. What is so surprising about aphasics?
A. They can fool other people.
B. They can tell whether people are lying.
C. They can understand language better.
D. They can find out the hidden drugs.
9. How did the scientists study aphasics?
A. By asking them to watch TV together.
B. By organizing them into acting groups.
C. By comparing them with normal people.
D. By giving them chances to speak on TV.
10. What do we learn from this text?
A. What ones says reflects how one feels.
B. Aphasics have richer feelings than others.
C. Normal people often tell lies in their speeches.
D. People poor at one thing can be good at another.
Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils（灾祸）.People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions （反应）toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.
Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.
Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.

The nose is used in many popular expressions. Some people are able to lead other people by the nose. For example, if a wife leads her husband by the nose, she makes him do whatever she wants him to do. Some people are said to be hard-nosed. They will not change their opinions or positions on anything.
It is always helpful when people keep their nose out of other people’s business. They do not interfere (干涉). The opposite of this is someone who noses around all the time. Such people are interested in other people’s private matters. They’re considered nosy. Someone who keeps his nose to the grindstone (磨石) works very hard. This can help a worker keep his nose clean or stay out of trouble.
One unusual expression is that is no skin off my nose. This means that a situation doesn’t affect or concern me. We also say that sometimes a person cuts off his nose to spite his face. That is, he makes a situation bad for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry.
More problems can develop if a person looks down his nose at someone or something. The person acts as if something is unimportant or worthless. This person might also turn up his nose at something that he considers not good enough. This person thinks he is better than everyone else. He has his nose in the air.
In school, some students thumb their nose at their teacher. They refuse to obey orders or do any work. Maybe the students do not know the correct answers. My mother always told me when I was a student, “If you study hard, the answers should be right under your nose or easily seen.”
68. If we say a wife leads her husband by the nose, we probably mean she _____.
A. loves her husband very much
B. controls her husband’s actions

I was off to go back to work one evening when I saw my two children were busy sewing things on the sewing machine. My 11-year-old daughter was, in the midst of her project, going to assist her elder brother in making a little cushion．I left, and after a few hours returned to find a mess in the kitchen and in the front room, and both children sitting in front of the television．
Having had a long day, I was too tired to greet them and then I noticed the material my daughter had used．It had been purchased to make a color-coordinated (颜色协调的) baby blanket, and now had chunks (块) cut out of almost every piece of fabric (织物)．Not stopping to listen, I exploded at the children and explained how angry I was at what had been done．
My daughter listened to me sheepishly, not trying to defend herself at all, but the pain could be seen written across her face．She retreated to her room, and spent some time there alone before she came out to say good night and once again apologize for the mistake she had made．
A few hours later, as I was preparing to go to bed, I found that there on my bed lay a beautiful, little cushion made out of the forbidden fabric, with the words “I LOVE MOM”．Alongside it was a note apologizing again, and the innocence in which she had taken the fabric．
To this day, I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how I reacted and still feel the pain of my actions．It was I who then went to her and apologized for my actions．I display with great pride the cushion on my bed, and constantly use it to remind me that nothing in this world is greater than a child’s love．

When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, ”Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?
As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes…The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.
When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.
26.Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine？
A. He could not catch a fish
B. His father was not patient with him
C. His father did not teach him fishing
D. He could not influence a fish as his father did
27.What did the author’s father really mean?
A. To read about fish
B. To learn fishing by oneself

A. in deep water on sunny days

I learned Japanese a few years ago. I can say that learning a language is a huge challenge to me. 26 Here are a few tips from experts which can help you become fluent.
Know why you’re studying a language.
Learning a language is not something you can just pick up and put away as you please. As Language Testing International points out, some languages can take up to 2,760 hours to learn well. Even easier languages, like French and Spanish, will take 720 hours. No one can do that much work on their own without serious motivation (动力). 27 Write it down where you can see it to keep yourself motivated.
Practice.
You can’t just do a lot of practice for one day and then take three days off. 28 Set a regular schedule and stick to it. If you can make learning a language a routine(常规，惯例), the battle is partly won.
Speak with native speakers.
Talking with a native speaker is the single best way to improve your language skills. But how can you find one? 29 Also ask your friends and family to see if they know someone who speaks your aim language.
30
A language represents people and their culture. If you don’t value the people or the culture, then you don’t value the language. So make efforts to learn about the native culture if you want to know the native language. Films and TV shows are a good place to start. Newspapers and news shows can also teach you what the people you are studying are interested in.
A. Look into the foreign culture.
B. But it is also quite worthwhile.
C. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.
D. No one can master every word in a language.
E. So make sure you have a real reason to learn a language.
F. The knowledge you learn in one day will be forgotten in those few days.
G. Websites, like italki and weSpeke, can help you connect with others across the globe.

"Smart" Idioms
Today we take a look at the word “smart”.If someone says you are smart,what do they mean?Is it a good thing or something bad? 16 This is because the word smart has many meanings.
●That smarts!
For example,someone could say you look smart or are dressed smartly.That means they like what you are wearing and your physical appearance.To use a slang（俚语）expression,they could say,“You look really cool!”But if something smarts,it can be unkind or hurtful,either physically or mentally.If you accidentally trip over a chair and fall down,you might shout,“Ow!That smarts!”Or if a friend says something that hurts your feelings,you can say you are smarting from the hurtful comments. 17
●Smarting
If you are standing too close to a campfire,you could say your eyes are smarting from the smoke of the fire. Here the word “smarting” means a sharp pain. 18 If someone is smart as whip,they are able to think very quickly.
●Street smart and book smart
19 Some people are considered street smart.They may not have a strong education.But they are good at dealing with people and problems in the real world.Other people might be book smart.This means they have spent many years in school.But they may not be so smart when dealing with people or real-world problems.
●Don’t get smart with me!
And then there is the definition of smart that means to talk or behave disrespectfully.If you say something disrespectful to your parents,they might say,“Don’t get smart with me!”Here,“smart”means to show a lack of respect by saying something unkind.In fact,a child who has a smart mouth makes rude comments,not smart ones.This definition of smart can also be used as a verb. 20
A.Do they really mean you are smart?
B.People have different attitude toward being smart.
C.However,different people have different ways of being smart.
D.In fact,maybe that person is no longer you friend.
E.The answer is not as easy as you might think.
F.But the most common meaning of smart is to be intelligent.

Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.
4. Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?
A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.
C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.
D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.
5. The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.
A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor B. meet her father who was already an old man
C. join in the holiday celebration of the company D. finish her work before the deadline approached
6. The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. abandoned B. took C. avoided D. wasted
7. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Emotional Well-being B. The Two Saddest Words
C. The Most Useful Rule D. The Peace of Mind
