Being ”Cool” in Middle School
A new study shows that gentle and quiet kids in middle school will grow up to rule. Or, they’ll live healthier and more productive lives than the “cool” kids will.
The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having “cool”behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as “cool” and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their 20s. Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average “cool”kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn’t
develop the skills needed for meaningful friendships.
The study followed 86 male and 98 female middle school students for a 10-year period. It has some surprising findings. In particular, the study notes that the so-called “cool”behavior is a predictor （预示）of future problems with drugs and alcohol. In fact, it is a better predictor than drug and alcohol use in middle school. However, one conclusion of the study is welcome. Researchers said that parents shouldn’t worry too much if their kids don’t seem that popular. If a kid prefers to spend Saturday nights at home watching a movie or reading instead of going out with friends, that is not a cause for concern. Many “uncool” kids, they said, do much better later on than the popular kids do.

It is estimated that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants as we know have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. There was nowhere in which a server brought you food and drink that you chose from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.
There were places where travelers could eat centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And
there were bars where one could get a drink. The rich could also eat meals supplied by private cooks. But there was nothing that could be called a “treasure”.
A Frenchman changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups. In his sign, he used the term “restaurants”to describe what he was selling. Soups were considered “restorative”, so he called them “restaurants”. Finally, people started buying his soups even when not ill. And as time went on, people began to use the term “restaurant”to refer to the place where soup was sold rather than the soup itself. More “restaurants” opened up in France, and people began to buy soups more regularly.
Then, restaurants in Paris began to serve food other than soups. In the 1780s, menus started to appear. By the 1800s, there were many types of restaurants, and the restaurant concept was spread throughout the British Empire.
A slow start gave way to rapid growth. Cities and towns around the world are filled with restaurant today. It is estimated that there are 1.6 million restaurants in Europe. In American, there are nearly
a half million restaurant. Today, diners have millions of choices.
11、Before 1765, travelers could have meals at a(n) .
A、bar
B、inn
C、restaurant
D、canteen
12、The first “restaurant” only served .

D、making you healthier

How to Perfect the Art of Public Speaking
If you want to become the type of speaker you’ve always wanted to be, read the following suggestions.
○1You can’t go from a nervous speaker to a star speaker overnight. You shouldn’t expect to. Give yourself time to get used to
large audience. Start with smaller groups and get as much feedback as you can. Keep on practicing and developing your skills.
○2Be familiar with your speech materials. That doesn’t mean memorizing your speech, which can lack enthusiasm and naturalness. Know your key talking points, supporting details and ways to move from one point to the next.
○3Positive energy can be passed. If you’re excited and and enthusiastic, your audience will be, too. You’ll surprised at the positive cycle that creates: An enthusiastic audience can add even more energy to you. Use hand gestures. When appropriate, smile, smile, smile.
○4Find friendly, interested faces in the audience and speak to them. Look into their eyes. It helps prevent you from staring off into the distance of reading from notes. It also helps make you feel like you are talking in a conversation rather than speaking to a group.
○5When you look great, you feel great. That makes you confident. Looking great doesn’t mean wearing new clothes. It means wearing clothes and shoes you feel comfortable and appropriate to the setting. You can’t go wrong with business suit. Simple is fine, but you should look clean from head to toe.

Remaining Active
Our body is an amazing object. 26 If you are inactive most of the time, your body will quickly become tired when it should be active. But if you are very active, your body will get used to the hard work, and the work will become easier for you to do.
Physical activity can help people remain active and stay healthy.
27 It also helps people sleep better. This is why active students don’t complain about being tired. They have a good night’s sleep and have the study energy to study hard and have fun every day.
Physical activity also makes people look and feel good. Activity burns more calories （卡路里）than just sitting. 28 In addition, regular exercise can make your muscles and bones stronger.
There are many factors to look at when you select a new physical activity. The most important is to choose something you enjoy. If you like jumping rope, that is the activity you should do 29 In fact, two days of basketball, three days of swimming, and two days of bicycling can be basketball, three days of swimming, and two days of bicycling can be more fun than jogging every day.
30 Some skills will improve with practice while others may always be difficult for you. If you enjoy an activity, feel free to do it. No one cares whether you can do it well or not, and you don’t need to care about it either.
Whatever activity you choose, remain active. It can make you physically fit and healthy for life.

Positive Attitude toward Failure
I clearly remember a period during which I felt like a failure. But what I 31 learned was that failing at one thing is not failing at all things. And, in fact, failure is a 32 part of growth. Life is filled with trial and 33. In order to walk the path to 34, you need to make some
35 turns along the way. What I learned was to “fail forward”, to 36 each mistake to make myself better. One of the 37 problems people have with failure is that they are too quick to judge isolated 38 in their lives and label them as failure. 39, they need to keep the bigger picture in mind. A successful baseball player doesn’t 40 at a mistake he makes and think of failure. He sees it within the context of the bigger picture.

Self-reliance（自立）
Everyone has heard (hear) the word “self-reliance”. Emerson wrote a 41 (fame) essay about it. He felt that people should trust in their own 42 (able). They should think and act for themselves. Like many such 43 (term), this one had no real meaning for me until it was 44 (demonstrate) to me in real life.
Last year I met a blind girl 45 (name) Gail. She was 46 (extreme) slender and weak, but she always insisted on 47 (find) her way around the school by herself. When she 48 (sit) in a room with several of us, there was sometimes a(n) 49 (easy) silence, because we thought she might resent our acting too cheerful and thoughtless in her 50 (present). On such occasions, she would say something casual or show us how fast she could write. She never asked for anyone’s pity. She truly relied on herself.

F . Man's alien! ion span is very short- In order to capture a viewer's attention, television must provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. In doing so, news is rather short, and it results in inefficient communication; much of the news is like "machine-gunning with scraps", and it destroys the coherence of thought. The TV's appeal to the short attention span is decivilizing as well. A voiding complexity means sacrificing thought. Among adult Americans, there are more and more "functionally illiterate" people, who even cannot answer the want ad or understand the instructions on a medicine bottle. At least, TV is partly responsible for this. Television, since its first prevalence over radio in the 1950s, has played a more and more important role in people's lives. Some are of the opinion that TV is enlightening. It has become so much a part of human life that a modern world without television is unimaginable. But I, on the other hand, argue against TV. I think TV's disadvantages outweigh its advantages. I want to draw your attention to the fact that television is decivilising. In the first place, watching TV takes too much of our time. Children rush to TV immediately after school. Some people sit in front of TV all day long. In this way, reading is entirely ignored. Do you remember the days when we had no TV? We read stories, listened to radio programs from which we benefited a lot. I dare say that the generation accompanied by TV will be less literate. In the second place, watching TV doesn't involve much thinking. When we take up reading, we need to think and imagine before we can thoroughly understand the writer. However, when we watch TV, what we have to do is to open our eyes and enjoy whatever is shown. Little by little we will become slow in thinking. F. 14F. 15 F.

Think again. Leasingcan end up being just as expensive as buying. Most peoplethink about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They'reright-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were tolease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If youwere to buy the same car, you would pay about $400per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But afteryour lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many peoplewant to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwisebe able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you mightbe able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buya used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model.

To begin with, family in growing numbers has only one child; therefore, parents oftentimes focus all their attentions on that child and exert much pressure on him or her(原因一). Moreover, numerous parents intend to realize their unfulfilled dreams by letting their children learn what they failed to learn and apply for the college by which they failed to be accepted, because they have become richer and they believe that they have the power to make what they wanted and want come true now(原因二).

But he made a fortune by selling coals, and then forced his son, my younger brother to practice playing violin.
