4、Fifty years ago I married my soldier sweetheart. Six weeks later, he left to fight in Korea. While he was away for that first year of our marriage, I stayed with my mum and worked hard to keep our savings for our first home. After John returned, we found a home and applied for a War Service Home Loan, which at that time took about six months to come through.

The builder of our home lived in the same street as our house and he allowed us to move in and pay rent until our loan came through. The rent was one pound and ten shillings per week, which we thought fair. As we got to know our neighbors, several told us to watch our landlord as he was “sharp” and may cheat us in some way. We always replied that he had given us no cause for complaint.

The loan money came through shortly before Christmas. We were not well-off but we were happy to have our own home. One night, two weeks before Christmas, there was a knock at our door. It was our landlord and his wife. We invited them in and our landlord said, “As you know, your loan has come through and you do not have to pay me rent any more. I did not set that rent, the estate agent（房產(chǎn)代理商）did, and I thought it was a bit high. Every time you paid me I put ten shillings away in a box. It came to 11 pounds.

We were surprised and delighted. To us, it was a small fortune just in time for Christmas. We were able to buy gifts for our entire family. It was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for us and we decided that we would never judge anyone on hearsay.

A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon. When you recognize your teen is under stress, how can parents help your teen stay calm before an exam?

Be involved. Parents need to be involved in their teen’s work.  1 _ What they look for is your presence—to talk, to cry, or simply to sit with them quietly. Communicate openly with your teen. Encourage your teen to express her worries and fears, but don’t let them focus on those fears.

Help them get organized.  2    Together, you and your teen can work out a time-table in which she can study for what she knows will be on the test.

Provide a calm setting. Help your teen set up a quiet place to study and protect his privacy. Give them a nutritious diet. It is important for your teen to eat a healthy, balanced diet during exam times to focus and do her best.   3     If this happens, encourage your teen to eat light meals or sandwiches. A healthy diet, rather than junk food, is best for reducing stress.

  4    Persuade your teenager to get some sleep and/or do something active when she needs a real break from studying. Making time for relaxation, fun, and exercise are all important in reducing stress. Help your teen balance her time so that she will feel comfortable taking time out from studying to spend time with friends or rest.

Show a positive attitude.   5   Your panic, anxiety and blame contribute to your teen’s pressure. Make your teen feel accepted and valued for her efforts. Most importantly, reassure your teen that things will be all right, no matter what the results are.

A．A parent’s attitude will dictate their teen’s emotions.

B．Exam stress can make some teens lose their appetite.

C．They will only make the situation worse.

D．Encourage your teen to relax.

E．The best thing is simply to listen.

China was the first in world to discover rockets, and the first “astronaut” was also a Chinese. In the lately 14^th century a man named Wan Hu had himself tied to a special chair, the back of that was fitted with 47 original rockets. While he grasped huge kites on either sides, he hoped that rockets will advance him, and that the kites would lift him into the sky. He died. Therefore, his brave attempt has been acknowledged today. The international community has been named a crater on the moon after him. Up to now China had launched two manned spaceship.
