beginning of the school year a few years ago and i had a little boy in my class who came from a nonenglish speaking home. he was very quiet and shy. i wasnt sure how much he understood during the school day and i was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play.if i tried to talk to him，he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me.after a day or two of this，i decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls.i called her over and she ran to me，ready to help.i immediately began a long speech about what i needed from her.i asked her if she would try to get him to play，and i started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communicating with him. i explained she could do this，she could do that，she could try this idea，she could try that idea.she touched my arm to stop my talking and looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a sixyearold can，and said，“dont worry.i speak kid.” and she ran off.i stood there all alone，silently watching her.it took less than a minute for the two new friends to run off，hand in hand，happily joining a game of tag (捉人游戏) taking place all over the gym.i often think of that small moment，about what i learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kidbig kid，little kid and middle kid.i know my focus must be on teaching students how to think，how to approach problems，and how to figure out solutions and teaching them never to let the_opportunity away.we must be ready to learn from our students because those “teachable moments” during the school days are for us，the teachers，as well as our kids. bwhen it comes to feeling better about yourself，nothing will help you like healthy eating.controlling what you eat is a big factor (因素) in how you look and feel.if you think about it，so much of how we behave，how we feel，and how our bodies perform is based on what we put into them.the old saying “you are what you eat” is actually true.the problem is that a lot of mainstream diet books you might find in your local bookstore or online are trying to sell you diet plans that dont work and that might even make you sick.healthy eating is great for your body.it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure that out.many people dont realize just how good healthy food is for them.by eating great foods that are natural and healthy，you can lose weight.you can also have a lot more energy.so you shouldnt just think of healthy eating as a way to burn fat，but you should also think of it as a way to get your life back in order.you can spend more time with your family and get more work done because you will have more energy.you will be impressed by how much better youll feel by putting nutritious，natural foods into your body.your look will be better.youll have more energy，and youll be happier.the important thing to remember when it comes to eating healthy is to not fall for any tricks.there are a lot of people out there looking to make quick money.they will tell you just something so they can sell a book or a video.what you need is to trust a diet plan that is right for your body.educate yourself about your own body type.find out what kinds of foods are best for you.if the diet book you trust doesnt teach you these important factors，then you might be reading bad information.55. in the authors opinion, if you want to feel better about yourself, you should_. a.keep taking exercises every day b.avoid an unhealthy diet c. try to lose weight d.make a diet plan56.by saying that “you are what you eat” in paragraph 2，the author means_.ahealthy food is important beveryone has to live on foodcnot all diet books are good for us dwhat we eat provides more energy than we need57.the natural and healthy eating can not_.ahelp one lose weight bburn fat in ones bodycdecrease ones energy dmake ones life regularized58.according the passage, a good diet book should be one _.a. that help you enjoy food b. that is popular among peoplec. that helps you choose suitable foods d. that supplies much information59the purpose of this passage is to_.adescribe a good diet book bteach people how to make diet plansclist the advantage and disadvantage of eatingdshow the importance of healthy eating and some tricks in eatingceveryone knows that the french are romantic, the italians are fashionable and the germans are serious. or do they? are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? and if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?at least one group of people is certain that it can. a recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (实业家) in the uk found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the british public.britain is hostile to success, they said. it has a culture of jealousy (嫉妒) . as a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood”. jealousy is sometimes known as the “green-eyed monster” and the uk is its home. scientists at warwich university in the uk recently tested this idea. they gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. some were given a little, others a great deal. those given a little money were given the chance to destroy the large amounts of money given to othersbut at the cost of losing their own. two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.this seems to prove the entrepreneurs were right to complain. but there is also conflicting evidence. the organization for economic cooperation and development (oecd) recently reported that the uk was now the worlds fourth largest economy .that is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. people in the uk also work longer hours than anyone else in europe. so the british people are not lazy, either. “its not really success that the british dislike,” says carey cooper, a professor of management at the university of manchester institute of science and technology. “its people using their success in a way that seems arrogant (傲慢) or unfair or which separates them from their roots .”perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. they set out to do things in their way. they work long hours. by their own efforts they become millionaires. but instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them. it hardly seems worth following their example. if they were friendlier, people would like them more. and more people want to be like them. d do you want to go out of town for a bit of rest and relaxation? before you start packing, visit
