阅读理解APeople say that you can never really go back home again. I’ve found that this has been true for me in so many ways. But before I went into the army I thought I would visit the place that held the fondest memories for me. I longed for memories of my friends, family, and the fragrance of jasmine in the summer. My mother had warned me that the old place wasn’t as I remembered.While driving to my hometown, all I could think of was how I would soon see my old friends, and the old home where I grew up. I can still hear the laughter that I shared with my brothers and sisters and I couldn’t wait to get there. It had been some years since I’d been there. The last time I had come out was for my grandmother. The entire time I was there all I could see was how much the old house needed to be repaired.When I drove up the driveway things seemed to look as they always had. The only things missing were the kids and the dogs. My heart felt sad for the neglect (忽视) of the old home place but there was nothing I could do. I didn’t know how bad it was until I walked to the front door. A gentle wind blew the webs which hung from various places on the door. I gently pushed open the front door. Dust flew in all directions. Rats had made nests in the dark corners of the room. I thought that if I closed my eyes tight enough, I could picture how the room looked when I was younger.The vision I tried to imagine in my mind never came. Still I kept my eyes closed and waited. As I was about to open my eyes, the familiar fragrance of jasmine floatedup into my nose. I breathed deeply. In an instant I knew I was home.1.

Life can be painful. The trouble comes when we bring our pain into our future and let it define who we are. Find ways to learn from it, let it go and move on, no matter what it takes. While not the same, we all experience tragedy, the difference is how we choose to carry it. Positive emotions will bring us far greater joy than pain ever could and eventually the pain will pass; it always does. Disregards others’opinions of you. People will always have opinions, and chances are, you’ll have moments when someone’s words will hurt you. The good news is that you don’t have to take what others say as your truth. Recognize and embrace your uniqueness, the only person who has to be happy with your decisions is you, so be true to yourself.Lift weights. Exercise has been proven to be a useful tool in treating depression. Regular exercise can reduce stress, help ward off depression, improve sleep,increase self-esteem and boost energy levels. Choosing to incorporate lifting weights will have further benefits. Lifting weights will increase your lean muscle mass and lower body fat. It can also help fight inflammation（炎症） and stress within the body which will help keep you healthy.Find a diet you can live with. Many of us live in a constant battle with our weight, watching what we eat and feeling guilt after an indulgence. Getting off this rollercoaster is one of the best things you can do for yourself. You don’t have to be vegan, low-fat or gluten-free to be healthy; you have to find what works for your body and stick with it. Following a plan that is too rigid will ultimately lead to failure and feelings of low- worth. Finding a diet that works for your body and your lifestyle will help you feel energetic.5.

Several steps to keep healthy and happyC“Tear them apart!”“Kill the fool!”“Murder the referee!’These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let’s not kid ourselves. They havebeen known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real violence. Books have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain meanings may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual behavior. I see the term “opponent”as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent”is “enemy”, or “one who opposes your interest”. Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. I remember an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player went away to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then screamed “Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the effect that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent’s intentional and illegal blocking by hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which differs from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated the game to the level where it belongs, setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent”with “associate” could be a good way to startThe dictionary meaning of the term “associate”is “friend”or “companion”. You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent”.8. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed to change his gloves?A.

Raising the referees’ sense of responsibility can help reduce violence.D. changing the attitudes of players on the sports fields can help reduce violence.DThough problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say, “Problem, I don’t want you in my life.”Of course, we’ve been fighting troubles ever since we were born. Problems with friends, parents, girl friends, husbands, and children---- the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.But good news is that problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. But the truth is that when you talk about it, you are setting free the negative energy that’s been gathering within you. Talking helps you move on and let go.Write your problems. Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don’t want a real person to talk with. When you write down your problems, you are setting free all your tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper in whichyou wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family…, you should still have faith. With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything you lose.Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there is another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can’t I? Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.12.
