Richard is a very a successful businessman. It is common for him to work hard with a non-stop. He wasn't aware that he might wear himself out or die an early death until he overslept one morning,which was a sort of alarm. And then what happened?He had a week's leave during which time he read novels,listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach,which has enabled Richard to return to work again.
In our modern life,we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly,within this world there is a universal but silly saying:"I am so busy. "
We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts,were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are,the more important we seem to ourselves and,we imagine,to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family,and to be unable to find time to relax - this has become the model of a successful life.
Because we do not rest,we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go,the food providing us with strength,the quiet giving us wisdom.
How have we allowed this to happen?I believe it is this:we have forgotten the Sabbath,the day of the week - for followers of some religions - for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work,a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones,give thanks,share meals,walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest,to put our work aside,trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.
Rest is a spiritual and biological need;however,in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities,we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work. In fact,"Remember the Sabbath" is more than simply permission to. rest;it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.

D、To tell Richard is a successful businessman.(2)、The "alarm" in the first paragraph refers to " ____".A、a signal of stress B、a warning of danger C、a sign of age D、a spread of disease(3)、According to the passage during the Sabbath, what we should do except ____.A、Enjoying delicious meal.

I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval,he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
Several weeks ago,I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair. I kept asking him to sit down,telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later,as if he didn't even notice he was doing it,he got up again. I was getting angry,but then it hit me:I started noticing his answers-were much quicker and right when he stood up. Could he concentrate better while standing up?
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I grew up to believe that a quiet child was more likely to succeed. This child would have. the ability to study hard,get good grades and become someone important in life. Kids that were active and loud would only be losers.
Now people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA,and all they can do is loving and accepting them. As parents,throughout their growing years and beyond that,we need to guide them and help them find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Clearly,he is concentrating,just in his own way and not mine. We need to accept our kids,and their ways of doing things. There is nothing sweeter than seeing our children being themselves. It makes us happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live a happy life.

Starting high school is a great experience for any teenager. Whether you are coming from a middle school (grades six through eight) or a junior high school (grades seven through nine), there are many things about high school that are different from your old school environment.
You will face being in a new school, making new friends in an unfamiliar class and getting to know new teachers. These new teachers will usually have higher academic (学术的) level than your middle and junior-high school teachers. In return, they expect you to work hard and develop your skills. On top of all this, peer pressure to drink and smoke often increases in high school.
Although there is a lot of pressure, it is nothing you cannot deal with. If you are feeling pressure to do something that you feel is wrong, talk to a friend, parent or counselor to find a solution.

Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world. Who doesn't long for a favourite Chinese dish? But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East — the ancient custom of tonic food.
Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil hotpot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach (菠菜), are seen as "hot ", while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes (小萝卜), are seen as "cold ". One should be careful not to eat too much of either "hot " or "cold " food. However, how much "hot " or "cold " food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual's health.
The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as the wolfberry (枸杞子), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff in need of a modest pick-me-up.
So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with some fish soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.
(1)、What is the present situation of tonic food?A、It is catching less attention. B、It is enjoyed by many young people. C、It is well known worldwide. D、It is becoming increasingly popular.(2)、What is believed to benefit new mothers?A、Chinese cabbage. B、Fruit tea. C、Sesame oil hotpot. D、Fish soup.(3)、Which of the following best explains "catering " underlined in paragraph 3?A、Medicine. B、Restaurant. C、Education. D、Fashion.(4)、What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A、To present the charm of Chinese cuisine. B、To show the popularity of tonic food. C、To introduce Chinese tonic food. D、To tell the differences between hot food and cold food. -

My name is Sara. When I was little, I played the drums. I also had a guitar. In fourth grade, I started playing the trombone (长号). I practised about four hours a week. All of this might not seem like a big deal for a lot of kids, but there's something about me that makes me a bit different from others. I was born without hands. Since I was about one year old, I've worn prosthetics (假肢).
This year, I got an invitation to join the high school marching band (行进管乐队). I told my mom I wanted to do it. But I had an instructor who thought I would not be able to march in the band — not because it was a high school band and I was only in seventh grade, but probably because my body was different. All I wanted was to show that I could do it, so I joined the band. And it paid off!
Music gives me energy. That happens sometimes. One time I was so down that I didn't even want to get out of bed. Then I hit my MP3 player by accident. A song came on, and I got up and started dancing. It helped me say to myself, "OK, I can get through today. "
Around my musician friends, we all share the same problems, like working out how many beats there are in a measure (小节). I have a hard time counting the beats, but so do a lot of the other kids. It's a normal problem that we musicians share. When I'm with the band, I don't feel as different as I do in other situations. It's just another way that music makes me want to go on, and not to just sit down by myself and not care about life.
(1)、In what way is Sara different from other kids?A、She knows how to play many instruments. B、There's something wrong with her body. C、She learned to play the drums at a very early age. D、She kept playing the trombone for the longest hours.(2)、When invited to join the marching band, Sara ____.A、believed that she would make it B、had no idea what to do C、followed the instructor's advice D、said no at first(3)、How does Sara probably feel when she's with the band?A、Bored. B、Afraid. C、Successful. D、Relaxed.(4)、What would be the best title for the text?A、My Love for Music B、A Young Drummer C、A High School Band D、My Magic Hands -
