How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and were returning from my autn’s house,and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America .We were on the bus then ,I was crying,and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me . I remenber that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning .
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact I think cried very little when I was saying goobye to my friends and relatuves ,When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see —the stange and magical plances I had know only from books and pictures . the country I was leaving never to come back was hardlt in my head then .
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost –having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with
Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there,and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my exeperiences I have learned one important rule :all common troubles eventually go away ! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up,and just wait a liteele! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it not be that easy.

Dear Friend,
The recent success of children’s books has made the general public aware that there’s a huge maket out there..
And there’s a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children’s books bought each year …plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They’re ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now，My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt,and I didn’t know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude（潜能），and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you ,if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript（手稿）suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish our course.
I really didn’t expcct any publication before Ifinished the course,but that happened.I sold three stories.And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children’s books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize you writing dream today. There’s nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
Sincerely,

How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feeling
Architects have long had the feeling that the place we live in can affect our thoughts, feeling and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical（经验的，实证的）basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.
Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2009, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.
In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant’s ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim (暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner, or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so we are almost looking at the problem through a straw (吸管)” architect David Allison says; “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad ,generalize use of them?” That is what we are all struggling with”
64. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?
A. Light B. Ceilings. C. Windows. D. Furniture
65．The passage tells us that____________.
A．the shape of furniture may affect people’s feelings
B．lower ceilings may help improve students’creativity
C．children in a dim classroom may improve their grades
D．students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed
66．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean that_______.
A．the problem is not approached step by step
B．the researches so far have faults in themselves
C．the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect
D．research in this area is not enough to make generalized pattems
67．Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
CP ：Central Point P:point SP:： Sub-point(次要点) C：Conclusion
D
When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their to say，but not impirtant Too often it is viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先)， This view is shortsighted,In fact , music education is beneficial and important for all students
Music tells us who we are because music is an expression of the beings who from,Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a schubert song ,The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions music expresses our character and values It came from American musical traditions Music expresses our character and values ,Lt give us identity.
Music provdes a kind of percepton(感知)that cannot be acquied any other way Science can explain how the sun rises and sets .The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason :way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason:No one way can get it all
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other .They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears ,our curiosities our hungers our discoveries.our hopes .The arts ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others When we do mot give away from them the meanings that music expresses

Camping wild is a wonderful way to experience the natural world and , at its best, it makes little environmental influence .But with increasing numbers of people wanting to escape into the wilderness ,it is becoming more and more important to camp unobtrusively(不引人注意地) and leave no mark .
Wild camping is not permitted in many places ,particularly in crowded lowland Britain..Wherever you are , find out about organizations responsible for managing wild spaces , and contact them to find out their policy on camping and shelter building .For example ,it is fine to camp wild in remote parts of Scotland , but in England you must ask the landowner’s permission ,except in national parks .
Camping is about having relaxation , sleeping out doors , experiencing bad weather , and making do without modern conveniences .A busy , fully-equipped campsite (野营地) seems to go against this ,so seek out smaller, more remote places with easy access to open spaces and perhaps beaches .Better still ,find a campsite with no road access: walking in makes a real adventure.
Finding the right spot to camp is the first step to guaranteeing a good night’s sleep.choose a campsite with privacy and minimum influence on others and the environment.try to use an area where people hanve obviously camped befoe rather than creating a new spot .when camping in woodland ,avoid standing dead trees ,which may fall on a windy night .Avoid animal runs and caves ,and possible homes of biting insects.Make sure you have most protection on the windward side. Ifyou make a fire,do so downwind of your shelter.always consider what influence you might have on the natural word,Avoid damaging plants .A good canpsite is found,not made—changing it should be unnecessary.
