In my final year of high school, I got a job working at a local coffee shop near my home. I thought the job would be easy and free of stress.

I___________ myself making delicious doughnuts, serving the best coffee and becoming friends with those customers who often came to the coffee shop. I wasn’t_______the people with too many orders, the women who complained that the coffee was much too creamy, or the men who wanted their iced coffee remade again and again until they reached perfection. I couldn’t seem to_______anyone. One rainy day, one of my customers Hank came in looking upset. He said he felt like getting in bed, pulling the sheets (床單) up over his head, and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.

Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He was_______, because he hadn’t ordered anything but coffee. I had given him his favourite kind of doughnut.

“It’s on me and I’ve paid for it.” I told him. “I know you like doughnuts very much.

Have a nice day.”

He smiled and_______me before heading back out into the rain. The next day, it was still raining. I spent the whole afternoon hanging out of the window handing people their orders. I was completely_______ and cold. Worse, no one was tipping (給小費(fèi)) that day. Every time I looked into our empty tip jar, I grew more upset for myself.

In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window. He handed me a pink rose and a note.

The note read:

Christine,

Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday. It is so nice to meet someone who's truly nice. Please don' t change your___________!-Have a great day!

Hank

One Bite at a Time

One summer day when I was heading for the teaching building, I met Philip, one of my colleagues ( 同 事 ), who worked in the same office with me. Beside him stood another young man. Philip introduced me to the young man, named Stephen. He told me that Stephen would take one of my classes Introduction to American History. Stephen asked if my class was going to be hard. I felt he was worried about failing before the opening day of classes. We talked about what the class would cover and I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.

Then I remembered a classical dialogue: Question: “How do you eat an elephant?” Answer: “One bite at a time.”

I told him to deal with his work that way — to do all his assignment (作業(yè)) and to hand them in on time. I added that most successful students I knew made a timetable in order to plan their study well.

As time went on, I learned more of Stephen’s story. He had difficulty in study when he was in the middle school. Family members, including his mother, kept telling him that he was a failure. He told me that before coming to our college no one had believed he had much potential (潛力).

Stephen didn’t become an “A” student. Still, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignment on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized parts. By passing course after course he began to build up bit of self-respect.

Every time I saw him, he would brighten up and say, “One bite at a time.” He told his friends that he was succeeding when he was supposed to be failing. His secret, he said, was that he was practising what I taught him before classes ever started: “Take it one bite at a time.”

1.What is the relationship between the writer and Stephen?

A.Father and son. B.Teacher and student.

C.Classmates. D.Colleagues.

2.To plan their study well, most successful students .

A.made a timetable B.chose many courses

C.asked teachers questions D.took notes carefully

3.Stephen’s story mainly tells us that .

A.it is hard to pass courses in college B.we all need good luck to make a success

C.bad things can turn out to be good sometimes D.taking one bite at a time can help students succeed

Before I studied psychology ( 心 理 學(xué) ), I used to think that funny things make people laugh. While I was right about that, I discovered that there are lots of other psychological factors ( 因 素 ) that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh — and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be．If your joke supports the opinions of a person, he will laugh more.

I was attending a talk show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of the way pedestrians (行人) cross the streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed the streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made people feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got．

The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you are jealous (嫉妒) of a friend, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then most probably you will laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him．

In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling (貶低) someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions in any possible way, he will certainly like it a lot. You can do this in a better way by supporting their opinions without making fun of anyone in a funny way to make them laugh.

1.Before studying psychology, the writer thought .

A.only good jokes made people laugh B.many factors led to people laughing

C.funny things could make people laugh D.laughing could make people healthy

2.Why did people laugh loud at the pedestrians in paragraph 2?

A.Because they played a joke on the pedestrians.

B.Because the pedestrians behaved in a funny way.

C.Because they could feel the pedestrians’ happiness.

D.Because their emotions were supported by the show.

3.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A.To introduce a talk show the writer attended.

B.To draw people’s attention to psychology learning.

C.To question about the psychological factors that make people laugh.

D.To stress people can make others laugh by supporting their opinions.

It sounds almost too good to be true, but a new study on sleeping brains suggests that listening to languages while you sleep can actually help you to learn them.

For the study, researchers played recordings of foreign words and their translations to students who were enjoying slow-wave sleep. During this period, a person has little knowledge of their environment. To make sure that the results were not compromised by foreign language words that students may have had some connection with at some point in their waking lives, researchers made up the words which cannot be found in the foreign language at all.

When the students woke up, they were presented with the made-up words again without their translations. The students were then asked to imagine whether this made-up word showed an object that was either smaller or larger. This vague (not very clear) way of testing their understanding of the words is a method that is supposed to make use of the unconscious (無意識(shí)的) memory.

The researchers were surprised to find out that the students were able to correctly group the words in this way. And their accuracy rate (精確度) was 10 percent higher than accidental chance. That’s not a rate high enough to help them get ability of communicating with others in a foreign language, but it is enough to suggest that the brain is still taking in information on some level, even during sleep.

It has been long believed that sleep is important for memory, but before this research its role in memory was thought to relate only to the preservation (保存) and organization of memories that students got during wakefulness. This is the first time that memory formation ( 形 成 ) has been shown to be active during sleep. In other words, our brains are listening to the world, and learning about it, even when we are unconscious of what is happening around us.

The next step for researchers will be to see whether new information can be learned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleep. If so, it could forever change how we train our brains to learn new things. Sleep learning might become a widespread practice.

1.The word “compromised” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.

A.influenced B.depended C.finished D.studied

2.What were the students asked to do in the study?

A.Group the words they heard by size. B.Repeat the words they heard in the sleep.

C.Imagine the meaning of the made-up words. D.Make up a word to describe “l(fā)arge” or “small”.

3.The researchers probably agree that .

A.sleep is necessary for a good memory B.memory formation goes on during sleep

C.listening during sleep is good for our health D.learning languages in sleep has better effects

4.What will be the researchers’ next plan?

A.To train people how to learn during sleep.

B.To dig out the reason for unconscious learning.

C.To explain the benefits of unconscious memory.

D.To study the effect of sleep learning on conscious learning.

Since I am a student in the second year of university now, I think it is the perfect time for me to take real responsibility for myself and begin a new challenge. I have already had a year life to fit in at university, making friends, and finding out path for my future. This is the reason why I started to do a part-time job in this year.

Interesting enough, local Canadian students can start doing part-time jobs as early as 16 years old. They usually work at places like fast food restaurants or coffee shops. International students like me, however, are not allowed to do off-campus ( 在 校 外 ) jobs if they are under 18. As a university student, I have a lot of opportunities to get a part-time job either on or off campus. If I get an on-campus job, I can work in the school libraries or bookshops. If I work outside of campus, I can be a shopping guide at the mall or work at fast food restaurants.

However, what I do for my part-time job is to help international high-school students learn the subjects like English and history. I help these students through online classes. This way, I am actually doing something that a lot of people nowadays could only dream of doing, working from home.

The job really isn’t too stressful because I have some teaching experience back from when I was in high school. I can also learn a lot from it. I see doing a part-time as something that brings me a lot of advantages. For example, it not only gives me some pocket money but also teaches me skills that cannot be learned from university classes. These include skills such as interpersonal communication, time management,and financial (財(cái)務(wù)的) planning.

Some way say that doing part-time will have a bad influence on my school life since it will take time away from my studies. However, I think that part-time jobs are not something that everyone should do. It requires the ability to manage one’s time wisely and find the perfect balance between work and study.

1.Is it the perfect time to do a part-time job in the second year of university?

2.How old can local Canadian students have a part-time job?

3.What is the writer’s part-time job?

4.What skills can the writer learn from his part-time job?

5.What do you think of having a part-time job in the university?
