Do Actions Speak Louder than Words?

Our society is fast paced.We are all rushing from one place to the next,blowing our horn（喇叭）at slow drivers who may be singing songs in the car with their children or pointing out some interesting sights.We don't have time for that silliness today.But we try to say to ourselves that we will make time for fun tomorrow.It is time to take a few deep breaths and think about our actions and our words.1.

Have you ever really thought about the saying "Actions speak louder than words?" Think about it now.If you say one thing and act in an opposite way,will the words be ignored and just the actions remembered?I don't think so.2.It is also equally important to use words to show appreciation,love,approval and happiness and then follow those words with a hug,pat on the back or smile.

3.What about that saying?True?Yes!Words carry a lot of weight and will be remembered for years especially when they are written down.Mean words can hurt for that moment and for a lifetime.I am sure that each of us remember a time when a friend made an unkind comment.4.Let's not be a member of that "club".When was the last time that you hid a love note in a lunch box or in your mate's coat pocket? If you want to see a bright smile, that will do it!

The power of this written note will be remembered for many days,even years."I can live for two months on a good compliment（夸獎）,"said Mark Twain.Children grow stronger when they feel appreciated and understood.5.

A perfect way to turn a bad day around is to praise your child."I noticed that your hair looked very nice today.Did you hang your coat up all by yourself? "It is amazing how those few words can change a child's outlook...almost immediately.Don't stop there...One of my sisters ended a phone conversation with three words-"I love you!" Boy,that put a spring in my step!Mark Twain is right.I still feel the positive effect of those three little but very powerful words.

A.The pen is more powerful than the sword.

B.Is it really reasonable to do something like that?

C.Do they show the attitude that we want to convey?

D.It is important to have your words match your actions.

E.Behavior is a mirror in which everyone shows his image（映像）.

F.Those words did lasting damage to you,the relationship or both.

G..Don't be afraid to shower your child with encouraging words all day long.

Four books that will inspire you to travel the world

There’s truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining perspective(遠(yuǎn)景) and exposing yourself to other cultures. To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor Chris Schlep to help us come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will inspire you to travel around the world. For more information, please click Amazon.com.

SEATTLE: Where You d Go, Bernadette

Price: $16.73

Maria Sample’s first novel is not exactly a love story to Seattle, but if you read it, you just might want to come here to see if people are really as self-involved as the characters in her book. What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the laughs. Buy it on Amazon.

Price: $16.29

This book by the popular author Jess Walters is a love story that begins on the Italian Coast in the early 60s and eventually appears on the screen in Hollywood.

Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (不相關(guān)的).A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist，but they seem not clear.

The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday；in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer; in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?

These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “l(fā)aw of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years—but unless we meet the truant officer(學(xué)監(jiān)), we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes (構(gòu)成) “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight- saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how we organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law—as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.

1.By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be”, the writer means that .

A. work time is not clear

B. many people have a day off on Monday

C. the line between work time and rest time is unclear

D. people don’t know when to rest

2.The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people .

A. enjoy working on weekends B. fail to make full use of their time

C. are unaware of the law of time D. welcome flexible working hours

3.According to the passage, most children tend to believe that they go to school because they .

A. have to obey their parents B. need to acquire knowledge

C. need to prepare for the future D. like studying

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Our life is governed by the law of time.

B. We shouldn’t be governed by the law of time.

C. New ways of using time change our society.

D. Our time schedule is decided by our teachers.

17．French writer Frantz Fanon once said："To speak a language is to take on a world，a culture．"Since the world changes every day，so does our language．
More than 300new words and phrases have recently made it into the online Oxford Dictionary，and in one way or another they are all reflections of today's changing world．
After a year that was politically unstable，it's not hard to understand the fact that people's political views are one of the main drives of our expanding vocabulary．One example is"clicktivism"，a compound of"click"and"activism"．It refers to"armchair activists"-people who support a political or social cause，but only show their support from behind a computer or smartphone．And"otherize"is a verb for"other"that means to alienate （使疏遠(yuǎn)） people who are different from ourselves-whether that be different skin color，religious belief or sexuality．
"We had all the words around Brexit in the last update and we are now starting to see all the words around Trump coming into the dictionary，"Angus Stevenson，Oxford Dictionaries'head of content development，told The Guardian．
Lifestyle is also changing our language．For example，"fitspiration"-a compound of"fit"and"inspiration"-refers to a person or thing that encourages one to exercise and stay fit and healthy．
The phrase"climate refugee"-someone who is forced to leave their home due to climate change-reflects people's concern for the environment．
According to Stevenson，social media was the main source for the new expressions．"People feel much freer to coin their own words these days，"he said．
But still，not all newly-invented words get the chance to make their way into a mainstream dictionary．If you want to create your own hit words，Stevenson's suggestion is that you should not only make sure that they are expressive and meaningful，but also have an attractive sound so that people will enjoy saying them out loud．
28．What's the purpose of the quotation from French writer Frantz Fanon？D
A．To serve as the topic of the passage．
B．To present one of the major views of the society．
C．To show the fact that language mirrors the culture in a way．
D．To lead to the topic of the whole passage．
29．What does the underlined word"coin"in the second-to-last paragraph probably means？C
A．use         B．record        C．create        D．change
30．How is the article mainly developed？A
A．By giving examples．
B．By making comparisons．
C．By following a timeline．
D．By presenting research findings．
31．According to Stevenson，to make the words you invent popular，they shouldD．
A．be easy to remember
B．have unique and expressive meanings
C．have the attractive sound
D．be meaningful and sound catchy．
