Some Ways to Have an Amazing Day

Here are a few tips for making sure you can answer the pop quiz of life confidently:

Be kind.

1. How often do you stop to talk to the people you encounter every day? Do you know the names of the people at the bank, the grocery store, or restaurant? One great way to get more out of your day is to fill it with people you know. The best way to know more people is to be kind to everyone you meet. Take a moment to learn a little about them.

2.

I avoided saying “Stay Busy” because sometimes we can fill our day with meaningless activities and feel busy but then at the end of the day we look back and realize we accomplished nothing. A great way to stay productive is to look at the things you would like to accomplish today, this week, this month, etc. and then plan some time to work on each of them.

Look for ways to serve.

I truly believe that giving meaningful service to other people is the greatest key to our personal happiness. It may be just a smile and a “hello”. 3. It may be just a phone call to tell them “thank you for being a friend.” When we serve other people, we develop personal joy.

Find a purpose.

The happiest people have one or more big “l(fā)ife goals”. 4. When we have a big goal that we feel passionate about we become more excited to work on that goal every day.

5. When you give yourself the pop quiz at the end of the day, you will be ready to say you did everything you

could.

A. Keep learning new things

B. Make the most of every day

C. Stay productive all the time

D. Try to do more in your everyday life

E. It may be helping them with their work

F. It has been said that you can measure a person by how they treat the people who can do nothing for them

G. It may be to run a marathon, write a book, start a business, develop a product or learn a new hobby or profession.

My friend, Peg, and I were seeking evidence that there were people who were treating our soil, our waters, our air with the love and respect they deserved. And we found it.

One day we saw a busload of school children on an outing. The bus had stopped at a hamburger stand where we were having a rest, and half-a-hundred children poured out. Busloads of children, of course, were not new, and I hardly gave them more than a glance until I realized what they were doing. Chatting and laughing, the children were picking up as much waste as they could carry from around the stand and its parking area. They took the waste to their bus, where several bags had been brought out for the waste.

Within five minutes, before our astonished eyes, that parking lot had been picked clean. Impressed, I walked over to their teacher. "I'm interested," I began. "In fact, I'm surprised at how those kids worked this place over. Is this some kind of environment protection class?"

"You'd never guess it," he said, "but we're a history class. "

"A history class?"

"That's right. We're on our way from Boston to visit Fort(城堡) Ticonderoga. Before the trip, one of the things we tried to find out was how the Ticonderoga countryside looked back in old days," he said. "In fact, we made a little table display of the scene, using toy buildings and toy trees. When one kid jokingly suggested we ought to put a few bottles and cans around to make it look real, the others blamed him. But the boy argued that he bet Ticonderoga would look like that today. Besides, if they thought it was so funny, were they prepared to clean it up if he was right? The class decided, however, that the entire fort might be too big a task to do. But they agreed to clean up any roadside area where they stopped on their way to the fort. And so that's what they did!"

1.How did the author feel when he understood what the kids were doing?

A. Amazed.

B. Bored.

C. Disappointed.

D. Unconcerned.

2.Why were the students going to Fort Ticonderoga?

A. To learn history.

B. To go outing for fun.

C. To clean the roads to the fort.

D. To protect the environment there.

3.The underlined word "display" in the last paragraph refers to__________.

A. plan

B. show

C. cloth

D. game

People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You have made friends since childhood, but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend:

Always honest

Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.

There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. It may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediately to your problems.

Always respectful (尊敬的)

A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.

Always understanding

It is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving (體諒的) and understanding even if it isn’t his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.

1.What’s the best title for the third paragraph?

A. Always there for you B. Keep your secrets

C. Always happy for you D. Remember your important days

2.According to the passage, a true friend will always________.

A. follow your advice

B. offer a solution for your problems

C. listen immediately to your problems

D. respect your opinion even if he/she disagrees with it

3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Never tell lies to friends. B. Making time for friends.

C. Sharing fun with friends. D. Paying attention to a friend’s opinions.

4.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

B. To find out how long a friendship can last.

C. To introduce his experience in making friends.

'Off we go!'cried Mr Wonka.'Hurry up,everybody!Follow me to the next room! And please don't worry about Augustus Gloop.He's bound to come out in the wash.They always do.We shall have to make the next part of the journey by boat!Here she comes!Look!'

A steamy mist was rising up now from the great warm chocolate river,and out of the mist there appeared suddenly a most fantastic pink boat.It was a large open row boat with a tall front and a tall back (like a Viking boat of old),and it was of such a shining sparkling glistening pink colour that the whole thing looked as though it were made of bright,pink glass.There were many oars（槳）on either side of it,and as the boat came closer,the watchers on the riverbank could see that the oars were being pulled by masses of Oompa-Loompas—at least ten of them to each oar.

'This is my private yacht!'cried Mr Wonka,beaming with pleasure.'I made her by hollowing out an enormous boiled sweet!Isn't she beautiful!See how she comes cutting through the river!'The gleaming pink boiled-sweet boat glided up to the riverbank.One hundred Oompa-Loompas rested on their oars and stared up at the visitors.Then suddenly,for some reason best known to themselves,they all burst into shrieks of laughter.

'What's so funny?'asked Violet Beauregarde,a girl who was chewing gum.

'Oh,don't worry about them!'cried Mr Wonka.'They're always laughing!They think everything's a colossal joke! Jump into the boat,all of you!Come on!Hurry up!'

As soon as everyone was safely in,the Oompa-Loompas pushed the boat away from the bank and began to row swiftly downriver.

'Hey,there!Mike Teavee!'shouted Mr Wonka.'Please do not lick the boat with your tongue!It'll only make it sticky!'

'Daddy,'said Veruca Salt,'I want a boat like this!I want you to buy me a big pink boiled-sweet boat exactly like Mr Wonka's!And I want lots of Oompa-Loompas to row me about,and I want a chocolate river and I want...I want...'

'She wants a good kick in the pants,'whispered Grandpa Joe to Charlie.The old man was sitting in the back of the boat and little Charlie Bucket was right beside him.Charlie was holding tightly on to his grandfather's bony old hand.He was in a whirl of excitement.Everything that he had seen so far—the great chocolate river,the waterfall,the huge sucking pipes,the minty sugar meadows,the Oompa-Loompas,the beautiful pink boat,and most of all,Mr Willy Wonka himself—had been so astonishing that he began to wonder whether there could possibly be any more astonishments left.Where were they going now?What were they going to see?And what in the world was going to happen in the next room?

'Isn't it marvellous?'said Grandpa Joe,grinning at Charlie.Charlie nodded and smiled up at the old man.

Suddenly,Mr Wonka,who was sitting on Charlie's other side,reached down into the bottom of the boat,picked up a large mug,dipped it into the river,filled it with chocolate,and handed it to Charlie.'Drink this,'he said.'It'll do you good!You look starved to death!'Then Mr Wonka filled a second mug and gave it to Grandpa Joe.'You,too,'he said. 'You look like a skeleton!What's the matter?Hasn't there been anything to eat in your house recently?'

'Not much,' said Grandpa Joe.

Charlie put the mug to his lips,and as the rich warm creamy chocolate ran down his throat into his empty tummy,his whole body from head to toe began to tingle with pleasure,and a feeling of intense happiness spread over him.

1.How many children followed Mr Wonka to the next room?
