Hibernating animals take a long time to wake up from their sleep. Turning or kicking their bodies does not seem to wake them up. Even after waking up from hibernation, these animals take some time to restart their normal activities. During hibernation, the heart rate slows down and some of the non-vital organs become entirely inactive. This is a state in which the body uses very little energy. Winter is the time when food is less and weather rough. Animals have to spend a lot of energy finding food. Even if they succeed in finding anything, it is often not enough to make up for the loss of energy. Besides, the cold weather may often become a cause of death. As a result of all these, animals have to reduce their food demand by reducing energy requirements. This is achieved by hibernating throughout the winter. Before the onset of winter, when there is plenty of food, animals eat overmuch and store much of the food in the form of fat. As winter arrives, they return to their home where they spend the rest of winter hibernating. As animals hibernate, their body temperature starts dropping due to lack of activity and metabolism(新陈代谢). At one point, it is only a few degrees higher than the surrounding temperature. Whatever energy the body needs to perform certain tasks is got from the fat storage. Due to lack of activity, the fat burning process is slow and steady. The energy from fat is enough to keep the animal alive for the rest of the winter. Hibernation differs for every species. For example, some animals like black bears may sleep for the whole winter without waking up while animals like, squirrels may wake up every 4 days to eat some food, pass waste matter from the body, and then go back to sleep. Hibernation in domestic animals may differ from that in the wild ones. As there is no food shortage for domestic animals, domestic animals hibernate as a result of their natural instinct but with more active periods in between.

His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didnt lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave scars just like these.

In fact, its possible to turn failure into success by making the right adjustments. The trick is knowing where the adjustment is needed and how much. We call people who have the ability to make the best life adjustments happy. And on the other hand we call people who refuse or neglect to make adjustments sad, frustrated or confused. Whatever your stage in life, age or financial level, everyone will face what I call the 3 Cs. The 3 Cs are changes, challenges and choices. The person who handles the 3 Cs the best we call happy and well adjusted. One obstacle many people trip over is assuming money will help them make the best life adjustments. Wrong! It may help in some ways, but even money wont help unless you have the knowledge and put it in the effort. For instance, dysfunctional(不正常的)wealthy people who find it hard to deal with the challenges, changes and choices of life are not that hard to find. So, whats one of the key factors of people who fail to live up to their potential? They fail to make life adjustments when faced with changes, challenges or choices. Here are 3 simple but powerful tips to help you make effective life adjustments when faced with the 3 Cs or changes, challenges and choices. Learn to Think with Your Eyes and EarsWhen you learn how to think with your eyes we call that observation and when you learn how to think with your ears we call that hearing. Most people see but few people know how to observe. The difference between seeing and observing is like the difference between reading and studying. The same goes with listening. It only requires ears to hear, but it often takes awareness and thought to listen. One factor in helping you to listen better is to hear not only what people say but what they dont say. Reading body language and voice inflection can help you listen between the lines. All these play an effective role in helping you to think with your eyes and ears. Learn to Go with the FlowThe people who learn to make the best life adjustments cultivate the habit of going with the flow. For example, they refuse to sweat the small stuff, they remain flexible to life changes. The best way to do that is to trust your instincts(直觉). The more you do that the more they will work for you. Worry tends to ruin your God-given instincts. Notice people who can go with the flow and youll find a person with sharp instincts. Be Prepared for Changes, Challenges and ChoicesIf you can keep an attitude of preparation youll have the best chance of making effective life adjustments. What kind? The kind that can see you through problems, setbacks and challenges. As the saying goes, “If you stay ready, you dont have to get ready. ”Thats the best advice for anyone who wants to make the best life adjustments and win!Title: Whoever Makes the Best Adjustments(1)OutlinesSupporting detailsIntroductionFailure can turn into success when the right adjustments are(2).

Animals, spiders, insects. . . One day while walking through the woods the nice old man found a cocoon(茧)of a butterfly. He took it home. A few days later, a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled(萎缩的)wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were natures way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. And we could never fly. 【写作内容】1. 以约30个词概括短文内容要点; 2. 以约120个词就“个人成长需要艰难生活的磨砺”发表你的看法, 并包含以下要点: (1)你读了这个故事后的感受; (2)叙述当前父母溺爱子女的现象和由此造成的后果; (3)假如你是父母一方, 你会如何磨砺自己的孩子?【写作要求】1. 可以使用实例或其他论述方法支持你的论点, 也可以参照阅读材料的内容, 但不得直接引用原文中句子。2. 文中不能出现考生真实姓名和学校名称。【评分标准】内容完整, 语言规范, 语篇连贯, 词数适当。书面表达增分练(三)建议用时: 35分钟. 任务型阅读(2014淮安模拟)阅读下面短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意: 每个空格只填一个单词。Do you know your uneasy adolescent might be experiencing teen depression? Of course. Teen depression isnt just bad moods and occasional sadnessits a serious problem that affects every aspect of a teenagers normal life. The negative effects can lead to problems, such as smoking, violence and even suicide. But depression can be treated. So if your teens unhappiness lasts for more than two weeks and he or she displays other symptoms of depression, it may be time to seek help from a health doctor. There are multiple reasons why a teenager might become unhappy. For example, teens can develop feelings of worthlessness over their school performance. And unsatisfied family life can have a major effect on how a teen feels. Sometimes, teen depression may result from environmental stress. But whatever the cause, when friends or familyor things that the teen usually enjoysdont help to improve his or her sadness or sense of isolation, theres a good chance that he or she has teen depression. There are certain signs when teenagers are suffering from teen depression. Often, kids with teen depression will have a noticeable change in their thinking and behavior. Kids with teen depression may have a change in eating habits. Teenagers are likely to eat too much or not to eat enough for long periods of time, which should not be mistaken for an eating disorder. Parents should distinguish this change from eating disorders. Changing in sleeping habits is another indication of adolescent depression. All teenagers love to sleep. However, a sudden change in sleep behavior for no good reason is what parents should be paying attention to. A reduction of favorite activities, such as sports or chatting with friends, is another sign that cannot be neglected. If a teenager loves a sport and during the middle of the season suddenly decides to stop, there is a reason to be concerned about this change. When teenagers suffer from depression, they easily get annoyed or react badly to negative things. They may become defiant as there is potential depression. The depressed teenagers may get into rude or offensive remarks as well as fighting. Making statements of despair is another sign. They have no hope for their studies, their life and their future. This is very serious since it is estimated that every year approximately 10 teenagers from every 100, 000 commit suicide. How is it treated? Here are methods, including medications and psychotherapy. Family therapy may be helpful if family conflict is contributing to the depression. The depressed teens will also need support from teachers. Occasionally, hospitalization may be required for teenagers with severe depression.

Before we ate the main meal we sat around a table that was loaded with large bowls of snack itemschocolate-covered peanuts, cherries(樱桃), and a few other things. The eater had to reach into the bowl and grab a handful of snacks and then convey them to the mouth with the other hand. A lot of people were strangers to me and I observed a cat being carried around, a dog being petted, and a number of noses being blown, between eating handfuls of snacks. Ugh!I started thinking about Chinese table manners. My wife and I will share things from the same plate or cup but we always put serving spoons out with the dishes on the table. We dont frequently use them, though. In my family we use our personal chopsticks to take food from the serving dishes. But we are careful and only touch the food we will eat ourselves. I have heard of some people who use two sets of chopsticks, one for eating, and one for serving. I have also seen some people who invert their chopsticks, that is, to serve other people with the other ends that havent touched their lips. 【写作内容】1. 概括短文的内容要点, 该部分的词数大约为30个; 2. 然后以大约150个词, 就“Table Manners and Hygiene(卫生)”的主题发表你的看法, 并包括以下内容要点: a)以自己或周围的人为例, 简述自己或周围人的就餐习惯; b)你如何看待自己或周围人的有关就餐习惯; c)出于卫生考虑, 你觉得是否有必要使用公筷(serving chopsticks), 请说明理由。【写作要求】可以使用实例或其他论述方法支持你的观点, 也可以参照阅读材料的内容, 但不要抄袭阅读材料中的句子。【评分标准】内容完整, 语言规范, 语篇连贯, 词数适当。书面表达增分练(四)建议用时: 35分钟. 任务型阅读 (2014南通模拟)Health insurance is important for individuals to have regardless of how healthy or unhealthy they are. Medical bills can really add up, and even a single trip to the emergency room can cost a few thousand dollars. If you avoid going to the doctor because of the cost, you are putting your health at risk. Therefore, having health insurance is both financially and physically beneficial. Health insurance is coverage for medical care costs after being treated by a doctor. More often than not, individuals still have some financial responsibility for their medical costs; however, it is significantly less than it would be without health insurance. The cost for health insurance is paid regularly, either quarterly or monthly. There are many different health insurance providers throughout the United States, each offering a number of policies to individuals. However, in terms of finances, there are two types of health insurance, individual or group. Individual health insurance is one the insured(保户)pays for and it may include coverage only for the insured. Group health insurance, on the other hand, is coverage that is provided by a persons employer. A certain amount is deducted(扣除)from an employees paycheck for health insurance. Typically, the employer also contributes to an employees health insurance. The benefits of health insurance are numerous. The most important one is the reduced financial burden for medical care. The cost for medical care is high and may stop people without health insurance from obtaining it unless absolutely necessary. In addition to obtaining medical care at a reduced cost, the insured is often provided with coverage for preventive care as well. This includes such things as an annual physical examination by your doctor. Also, regardless of ones health, accidents happen. In such instances, having health insurance removes financial obstacles from prohibiting your recovery. Health insurance does not cover all medical costs. For example, most contracts specifically list exclusions from coverage such as cosmetic surgery(整容外科)or alternative medicine. Also, coverage for certain types of treatment may be limited to a specific number of days. For example, physical therapy or treatment for mental health conditions that are not biologically based may be restricted to a certain number of visits per year. Once t
