During my childhood we visited Switzerland every year.Many people ask me where I prefer to live: Brazil or Switzerland. It's really hard to answer because I love both countries. Brazil is a big country with many states and people. There are multiple dialects and many types of foods. People here have beautiful smiles and are always happy, even if they are poor. In the south the climate is cool, but in the north It's hot and humid.Switzerland, on the other hand, is small but beautiful and clean. There are four languages in that tiny country. People there are very different from Brazilians: they are wealthy, independent, and organized. The food is delicious, and of course, the famous Swiss chocolate is great, and the climate is dry and cool.I love both countries. In Switzerland, it's pleasant, calm, and peaceful everywhere.

Being "Cool" in Middle SchoolA new study shows that gen tie and quiet kids in middle school will grow up to rule. Or, at least, they'll live healthier and more productive lives than the "cool" kids will.The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having "cool" behavior, such as early roma ntic relati on ships. They were see n as "cool" and popular kids. But as they grew up, things cha nged. The study found that these kids ten ded to have problems with drugs and relationships by their early 20s.Their behavior was no Ion ger lin ked with popularity .In stead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average "cool" kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 perce nt greater rate of crim inal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop importa nt life skills. They spe nt so much time trying to seem cool. They did n't develop the skills n eeded for meanin gful frien dships.The study followed 86 male and 98 female middle school students for a 10-year period. It has some surprising findings. In particular, the study notes that the so-called "cool" behavior is a predictor （预示）of future problems with drugs and alcohol. I n fact, it is a better predictor tha n drug and alcohol use in middle school. However, one conclusion of the study is welcome. Researcherssaid that parents should n't worry too much if their kids don't seem that popular. If a kid prefers to spe nd Saturday ni ghts at home watchi ng a movie or readi ng in stead of going out with friends, that is not a cause for concern.

Word of positive overtones are used to show appreciation or the attitude of approval, while those of negative connotations imply disapproval, contempt or criticism.The appreciative or pejorative meanings of the words are usually brought out in context.In sentence A, ambition undoubtedly conveys a pejorative overtone, along with the other two words envy and greed, while in sentence B, the same word ambition is obviously used in good sense, showing approval on the part of the speaker, together with the words work hard.51、What characteristic of antonyms does the following pair of sentences demonstrate?A)How tall is his brother?B)How short is his brother?Antonyms differ in semantic inclusion, pairs of antonyms are seen as marked and unmarked terms respectively. In many pairs we find one member is more specific than the other and the meaning of the specific is included in that of the general, so far as the meaning is concerned, sentence A includes the meaning of sentence B. the use of tall does not exclude the possibility of his brother being short. But sentence B is much more restricted in sense and is considered semantically abnormal unless the speaker is particularly interested in the shortness of his brother.。
