Have you ever complained that life is so tiring or that there is too much homework? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you look at the world with a warm heart, you will find that the whole world smiles at you.
While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you noticed the happy smile on your teacher's face when you do a good job?
If one day it is fine, but just before you go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. Dear friends, why don't you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? Also with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure can't be avoided. I think failure is not terrible. The terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident of ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of the success.”
Attitude decides everything, with an optimistic attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let's smile at whatever we meet and the whole world will smiles at us.

(1)、Students sometimes complain _____________. 

A、life is interesting B、the sky seems bright C、their studies are successful. D、there is too much homework.

     “Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world”. That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in many parts of the world. That program became one of American exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969.
In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half the country's pre-school children, from every kind of economic, racial (种族的), and geographical group.
      Although some educators object (反对) to some parts of the program, parents praise (赞扬) it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems come out when first graders who have learnt from “Sesame Street” are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.
     Tests have shown that children from all racial, geographical, and economic backgrounds have benefited (受益) from watching it. Those who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional (偶尔的) viewers. In the US the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.
     The programs all use songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. But there are some differences. For example, the Spanish program, produced in Mexico City, devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching separate (单独的) letters.
    Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children's shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories (理论) of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of various TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch it along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.

Known as "soft gold", Gambiered Canton gauze (香云纱) is the only silk fabric (织物) that's still hand-dyed (手染的) using natural plants in the world today.

The skill has a history of more than 500 years. In 2008, it was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage (国家非物质文化遗产). Ouyang Yongze is an inheritor of the dyeing skills from Guangdong. The man started learning the skills in 2017.

The dyeing process includes 30 steps. It can take up to six months and is done by hand with materials from nature. "The plant shuliang (薯莨), river mud, sunshine, and grass are all important in dyeing," Ouyang told China Daily.

To dye the fabric, workers put it in shuliang juice and let it dry on the grass. They repeat this many times until it turns brownish yellow. Then, they put river mud on it to help shuliang react fully. After washing and drying it again, the fabric turns black!

Mastering the skills is difficult, according to Ouyang, who put full effort into controlling the density (浓度) of shuliang juice. "Too much may cause color loss, and too little may nor lead to a dark enough fabric," he said. "Better control of the density comes after many failures."

Also, the job can be really tiring as workers have to be at work in the sun for 8 hours each day. Only a few people work in the industry, and skilled masters are getting older as fewer young people take part.

Considering this, Ouyang works harder to develop the traditional craft. He has got together other dyeing skills such as tie-dyeing (扎染法) and batik (蜡染) and has worked with famous fashion designers. They turn the silk into both traditional and fashionable clothes that are popular worldwide. He thinks this can help make the craft stay alive and drew people to the industry.

 阅读下列材料,从下面每题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。

Are you able to hang (悬挂) clothes? Are you able to put a nail (钉子) into the wall? For many people, doing these things is quite easy. But how do people who have trouble using their hands do these things? Well, they can use artificial (人造的) hands to help them out.

In Suzhou, some engineers are busy making a special hand better. The special hand is helpful and people can control it with the electrical signals (电信号) which come from their bodies.

These engineers hope to make it much better for Xu Min, who lost her right forearm in an accident in 1992. The woman wore the hand to take part in the Cybathlon Challenges in February. She finished tasks like hanging clothes, putting a nail into the wall and taking a nail out of the wall.

"These things are common in our daily lives and people want to test if the special hand, which was created by humans, can work just like a real hand," Xu said. Because she won the competition (比赛) in February, she was more confident about entering the October global finals — Cybathlon2024 in Zurich, Switzerland.

Cybathlon is the top event in the area. The event was first held in 2016. It takes place every four years. The competition tries to create a world without difficulty for people like Xu. In October, the competition will draw many teams from across the world.

Xu was a little nervous about competing with other people and companies from her country and other places. However, she and her team wanted to show their new product and how humans and machines could work together. Xu said she couldn't wait to get the hand ready and start the training.

※The science of hunger

If you've ever been "hungry" — that is so hungry that it makes you angry — you'll be happy to learn that scientists have begun studying the causes of this unpleasant condition and recommending(推荐) fixes. 

Researchers from the University of North Carolina asked some people of hunger to write a story about either their feelings or their daily lives while others not. After a stress(精神压力) experiment, it turned out that people who had written stories about feelings (and were therefore focused on these feelings) felt less stressed or angry, even if they were hungry. 

The main point: Realising how you feel reduces the chance that hunger will influence your feelings. Mindfulness training can help with that. Of course, if you're hungry, eating also helps. 

※A photo a day keeps the doctor away

Taking a photograph each day and sharing it online is a popular hobby. To find out how this habit influences health, British scientists did research by interviewing the creators of online photo journals. They discovered that daily photography improved interviewees' lives in several ways: It made them consider the present, it pushed them to go for walks to get their photos, and it gave them chances to communicate with folks who share their interests. Moreover, it may help some fight against loneliness. 

"I'll stop and take a photograph of this insect sitting on my computer or something. Just taking a moment is very good and beautiful I think, " one participant says.
