Lastnight I was preparing for the coming examination when I heard loud noise frommy neighbor's house. The1wenton and on. It was2loudthat I could hardly pay attention to my study any longer. So I went to myneighbor's house and knocked at the door. The young man looked3when he4 me standing outside his door.

Just now, the football game was very wonderful.I was too excited to control8. I won't bother(打扰)you again.9 in yourcoming exam." Then, he10 the TV and continued to watchthe game.

In a small room, Jenny was lying in bed waiting for an operation (手术), nervous and worried. To her surprise, a new patient was sent into the room. After a kind greeting (打招呼), they began to talk. The 80-year-old newcomer was named Susan. She had two children. Her son was boss of a big company and her daughter worked in a TV station. As her children were too busy to take care of Susan, she lived in an old people's home. Susan was proud of her children who had wonderful jobs and made a lot of money. Jenny really envied (羡慕)Susan. Compared with Susan, Jenny was nothing but an ordinary (普通的) woman from the countryside. Her children were just ordinary workers.
Soon, it was supper time, Jenny's daughter cooked several dishes which were her favorite. Jenny invited Susan to share her supper, but she did not accept the invitation. Susan was expecting her daughter when she received a call. Unfortunately (不幸), her children couldn't come to visit her. Worse still, Susan had missed the mealtime in the hospital. She lay in bed, disappointed and silent. Jenny's daughter offered to buy her some food but she had no appetite (食欲) at all.
The next day, Jenny and Susan would go through a series of regular medical checks (一连串的常规检查) before the operation. Jenny's daughter took care of her carefully while Susan was still alone. Out of sympathy (出于同情), Jenny's daughter helped to queue up (排队), fill in different forms and register (挂号) for Susan. For several days in hospital, even during her operation, Susan's children didn't come. Susan really envied Jenny as her daughter looked after her all the time until she recovered and moved out of hospital.
Care from the loved ones can really make one happy and encouraged, especially for old parents. So don't forget to look after your parents even while you are busy working.
We are often warned by our teacher not to waste precious (宝贵的)time, because time lost will never return. I think it quite true. What does time look like? . Time is abstract (抽象的), so we have to think about it.
Time passes very quickly. . It is because they don't know how to make use of their time. They waste it in going to theatres, cinemas and parks, and doing other things. Why do we study every day? Why do we work? Why do most people would rather take buses instead of walking? The answer is very simple. .
Today we are living in the 21st century. . When a person dies, his life ends. Since life is short, we must devote our time and energy to our study so that we may be able to serve the people well in the future. , for it does not only bring us failure but also does us other harm. If it is necessary for us to do our work today, let us do it today and not leave it until tomorrow.
Remember time is much more valuable (珍贵的)than money.
A. We look upon time as life
B. Nobody knows because we can't see it or touch it and we can't buy it with money
C. Some students say they don't have enough time to review all their lessons
D. Laziness is the thief of time
E. We wish to save time because time is precious
All our dreams have something to do with (与…有关) our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. But something on the "outside" may have influence on we dream. a person is hungry or tired or cold, his dream may include a feeling of this kind. If the blanket on body has slipped off (滑落) your bed, you may dream that you are or resting on the ice and snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is probably to come the experiences you have today.
So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has an influence on you while you are sleeping (feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc.) it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and interests you have now. This is why very young children are likely to of fairies (仙女) , older of school examinations,people of food, homesick (思乡的) soldiers of their families and prisoners (囚犯) of freedom.
Differentweather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence andfeelings.
InAugust, it is very hot and wet in the northern part of the United States.People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during thismonth. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times andvery cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble afterthe weather changes in February or March.
Theweather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a scientific report,IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but afterthe wind, their IQ was 10% below. The wind can help people have moreintelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Studentsin many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot monthsof the year(July and August).
Weatheralso has a strong influence on people's feelings. Winter may be a bad time forthin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feelunhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer.
Low air pressure may make people forgetful. Research shows that people leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. However, at about 18℃, people become healthier and stronger. People feel best at this temperature.
Areyou feeling tired, forgetful or unhappy today? It may be the weather's problem.
