Happiness is like a pebble (卵石) 1       ( drop) into a pool to set in motion an everwidening circle of ripples. 2       Stevenson has said,being happy is a duty.

There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical wellbeing,since we find beggars and socalled failures 3         (extreme) happy.

Being happy is a sort of unexpected bonus. But 4       ( stay ) happy is an accomplishment,a triumph of soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is,indeed,a duty to ourselves and others.

Being unhappy is 5        an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from 6        sufferer. He soon finds himself alone and miserable. There is,however,a cure 7        simple as to seem,at first glance,ridiculous. If you don't feel happy,pretend to 8        ！

It works. Before long you will find that instead of annoying people,you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding 9        is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.

Then the makebelieve becomes a reality. You possess the secret of peace in mind,and can forget yourself in being of service to others.

Being happy,once it 10       (realize) as a duty and established as a habit,opens doors into unimaginable gardens crowded with grateful friends.

Organizing Activities & What to Eat for Kids' Party Kids' parties can be more fun than adult parties―you don't have to be so serious and you can let your inner child out with them. Plus,by the end of the day when all the kids' energy has come to an end,and they fall asleep,you're right there,laying next to them,taking a little nap yourself！

* Plan some games.

These are the building blocks of a good child's party,so start thinking up craft projects,look into renting an entertainer,or make use of the facilities at an outside place. Look into your phone book or search on Webs for party rentals or places near you. 1      

* Make party favors (小禮品) interactive.

Instead of giving them a bag of small toys that will get played with for three minutes and then shoved in a drawer,have them make the party favors themselves!2       Taking part itself is kind of fun.

* Plan the party food.

When it comes to parties,one thing is timeless―cake. Will you bake one or buy one? Or two? Cupcakes are easy and super trendy as well. 3       Make the food theme oriented,too!

* Plan the party drinks.

Soda pop,lemonade,and juice are all pretty standard. And if you'll be outside a lot,a cooler filled with bottles of water or cans of soda will surely be appreciated,especially if it's hot outside. 4       If it's autumn or winter,have the kids play outside and come in for cider (蘋(píng)果酒) to warm them up.

* Plan the goodbye.

5          You can be reached when they're running late,early,or sending someone else to pick up their child. Establish protection for the safety of every child.

   A. For younger kids,have a loose schedule to keep things running.

   B. For all invited kids,have their favorite games and make them enjoy themselves.

   C. No matter how you get it done,you have to spend some time making plans and doing shopping.

   D. Give the other parents your cell phone number.

   E. Whatever you choose,either get the order in advance or go grocery shopping for the ingredients ahead of time.

   F. And,of course,milk goes great with cake.

   G. The kids will feel more involved and think they are a part of the party.

Dear Mr. Seaton,Thank you very much for taking me with you on that splendid outing to London. It is the first time that I had seen the Tower or any of the other famous sight. If I'd gone alone,I could have seen nearly as much,because I shouldn't have known my way about.

The weather was splendid on that day,as I thought was rare. I still remember some people told me that in Britain there was weather and no climate. At the same day,it might snow in the morning,rain at the noon,shine in the afternoon and be windy before the night falls. So I think I was lucky.

I think the river trip was the best thing of all. London really came alive to me as we saw it from the Thames during that wonderful journey down Greenwich. It was all tremendous exciting―a day that I shall never forget.

Thank you for giving I such a great birthday treat.

Yours sincerely,Linda Chen

As you learn,be sure to consume media in the foreign language.

We can see lots of ladies dancing in the square or open spaces after dinner time. It is a very harmonious scene 1        someone fires guns and releases his dogs 2       (threat) these ladies to escape,just because their music is too loud. Some people think this noisy music has 3       (serious) affected their life,so that the dancing ladies should 4       ( drive) out of public places. But I can't agree with them.

I have two reasons to support my views. In the first place,most dancing ladies are retired women,they finally have extra time to do something they like to do―get together to dance,make more new friends 5        share the same habit 6        them,and build up their body as well. As a matter of fact,some dancing lady is a loner without family members at home,and the dancing group is like their second home. We should not take 7        their right of dancing.

In the second place,squares and open spaces are public places;everyone can use them for any actions of entertainment 8        relaxation. If someone complains about the noisy music,they can go 9       (straight) to the dance group and ask them to turn it down. We don't have to solve this problem by an extreme way.

As a consequence,we cannot force the dancing ladies away,because it is a public place,and why can't we show some mercy10       a group of retired ladies who just need a place to dance together?

Because of poor childhood reading habits,most people read up to 10  times slower than they actually could. 1       But,by employing certain basic techniques along with some consistent practice,your reading speed and accuracy will increase without taking away from your overall reading comfort.

1. Identify why you're reading.

Before you start reading,you need to seek out your motivation. 2       Think about why you're reading the book in front of you. Is it for fun? A job? School? Your reasoning will help you find the right frame of mind for the task and aid in absorbing the information more efficiently.

2. Narrow down on the important parts.

3          A good speedreader is also smart. Learn to read selectively and change speeds. Think back to your initial reading goals. If you know which topics are essential,don't be afraid to slow down during the important areas to maximize your retention (i己個(gè)乙力) . 4       Don't let an unimportant paragraph get the best of you.

3. Use a guide.

Training your eyes to pick up the reading pace and maintain it is the final step. Naturally,the eyes tend to pause or drift from the page―even for a split second―during regular reading. In reading an entire book,the amount of time lost can be significant. 5       The easiest way to control them is with a guide,which can be as simple as your index finger (食指) or a pen.

   A. Another thing to consider is the type of book you are going to read.

   B. In that case,find a book and a quiet place to read.

   C. We can't expect an average reader to become a "speedreader" overnight.

   D. So it's critical to keep the eyes on the page.

   E. Conversely,you should also be ready to skip paragraphs and unnecessary words.

   F. Don't try to read through each page at top speed.

   G. Why you read is essential for deciding how fast to read.

1.       2.                  3.                  4.          5.

I did math then. I didn't stop after 12 o'clock. After a short lunch I had the break. Then I went to my Sunday English Class. After a long and tired class for more than two hours,I got to home. Some work had been done but some hadn't. I must review all my subject such as the Sciences,the Humanities,which include Chinese,English,Politics or History as well.
