    As a young boy, Britain's great Prime Minister(首相), Sir Winston Churchill attended a public school called Harrow. He was not a good student and nearly1from the school for breaking the rules.2, he did finish his schoolwork and his mistakes there did not3him from going on to a university. He even really had an army experience, for which he was later elected4. He achieved it for his wisdom and5. Because he once refused to6during the painful days of World War II. His amazing determination helped inspire his entire nation and was an7worldwide.

    Towards the end of his period as prime minister, he was8to make a speech to the students at his old school. When the great day9, Sir Winston Churchill gave his short, clear-cut speech:

    "Young man, never give up. Never give up! Never give up! Never, never, never, never!"

    Another10example is Sandra Day O'Connor who fought to achieve her best education. Graduating at the top of her class, she worked her11into Stanford Law school, where she graduated with12. Though working hard, she was13a woman in the 1950s. She was refused by many law firms14they preferred to hire less qualified(有资格的) man15a great woman lawyer. Yet she refused to give up on her dreams. With great efforts her dream16came true.

    Just like Churchill and Sandra, they stand for those who never give up.17, many people in our daily life simply say they want something but without making efforts. Instead, they let the fear of18stop them from trying. As a wise saying goes: "It's not how many times you fall down that19. It's how many times you get back up that makes success!" With hard work,20and preparation, you can overcome any difficulty and achieve success.

Power of Self Talk

Life is like a big swing. dangling between the depths of happiness and sadness. To overcome tough times you have to cheer yourself up. When you are feeling low and confused, this can be done effectively by self-talk.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}It can be effectively used for soul searching. When talking to ourselves, we hardly lie as our conscience controls our speech. Self talk is useful because when we speak out our thoughts, it makes a larger effect on our brain.{#blank#}2{#/blank#}This repetition talks and thoughts pass message to our brain.

Self-talk is a software, which when properly loaded onto our mind directs ourselves for better results and a healthy mind. Actually many times in our life, we find others advising us to do better in studies, sports, life etc. We usually blank our cars out of their suggestions.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}And when something comes from within you, you always try your best to do it.

If you are a shy person and you want to be the outgoing person like your friend next door, all you need to do is talk to yourself.{#blank#}4{#/blank#}" I am a natural born speaker." "I do like people and speaking comes naturally to me." "I just have to be ready to listen and speak". If you are highly confident to do better, there is no better motivator(动机) than self-talk.{#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

A. So guys start talking.

B. Every person loves to be loved.

C. Self-talk can thus improve our status.

D. Self-talk is a way of talking to oneself.

E. It is because it doesn't come from within us.

F. Tell yourself with all the sincerity and emotions that "I can be like him."

G. Our brain then receives the same message from the mind as well as the ears.

Guilty Pleasures?

You might have heard of the expression ‘a guilty pleasure'—maybe it's the chocolate bar you buy on the way home from work, or the new clothes that you don't really need. It comes from the idea that when we treat ourselves, it can sometimes leave us feeling guilty. Perhaps we don't feel we deserved it, or we don't think it was a responsible way to spend our money. But should we feel like this? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}.

Perhaps not. Psychologists have suggested that buying things for yourself can make you feel better as it provides an opportunity to take control of your situation. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} It may be that as well as lifting your mood, when you buy a treat, you might just be looking after yourself.

Of course, there are also examples of people turning to destructive behaviour when faced with stressful circumstances. People might spend money that they don't have at all or turn to some dangerous addictions. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Self-indulgence can be reckless and have negative consequences, while self-nurturing is taking responsible decisions to satisfy our needs and take care of ourselves in ways that don't have a significant impact.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} Many universities publish guides with advice for coping with exam stress. It's essential to reflect the difference between self-indulgence and self-nurture. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} They also suggest doing things that you enjoy much and are good at so that you can feel accomplishment and to avoid things that may make you feel worse afterwards.

So perhaps, as long as we make responsible decisions, we shouldn't feel guilty about our guilty pleasures.

A. Do we need to have a guilty or clear conscience?

B. Do we really have to feel guilty about treating ourselves?

C. One stress that people may need to deal with is exam stress.

D. Psychologists recommend rewarding yourself for your efforts.

E. So we should keep a balance between self-indulgence and self-nurturing.

F. It can give you social contact and a confidence boost by changing your image.

G. Psychologist Leon Seltzer considers the difference between self-indulgence and self-nurturing.

Volunteering has been a way of life for me for the past five years since I was fifteen.

In 2020 I1 with a newly founded social enterprise, which conducted cooking lessons for visually impaired (视障) trainee2 . I absolutely loved it as it involved meaningful 3 with people and I was fully4 throughout the entire time I was there. This was unlike some other types of volunteering, which may involve mostly behind-the-scenes work that can get5 after a while.

We called ourselves "sighted assistants" and each of us was6 with a visually impaired trainee chef. As a volunteer, I would walk with the trainee to the Enabling Village7 , and then ensure their 8 as they learned to cook a new dish. This included helping them9 the position of the sink, ensuring proper use of electrical appliances,10 boiling and hot objects, as well as being careful with knives among other things.

Being there with them made me truly11 appreciate how difficult life can be when you are partially sighted or completely blind. Every tiny task12 requires massive effort. There are so many people with visual impairments, I realized13 . While medicine still does not have the power to cure all of these conditions, we are never short of ways to empower these individuals by making life14 easier and 15 more meaningful for them.

Spreading kindness not only helps others feel better about themselves but also boosts the giver's health and happiness, according to a study. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

Giving seems to lower our blood pressure.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. One study asked a group of hypertensive (高血压的) people to spend $40 on themselves, while another group of people with high blood pressure were told to spend the money on others. They found that spending money on others had reduced their blood pressure at the end of the six-week study

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

A recent study found that people who said they would donate money to help orphans were less sensitive to an electric shock than those who declined to give. According to the study, regions of the brain that react to painful stimulation appear to be instantly out of operation by the experience of giving.

Being kind seems to boost happiness.

Another study assigned people to three groups: the first group had to do an act of kindness each day; the second group tried a new activity each day; and the third group did nothing. The first two groups saw a significant boost in happiness. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}, if you're creative with your acts of kindness, than those who performed the same activity over and over again.

"When doing an act of kindness, you're making the world a better place," said the Random Acts of Kindness foundation, which promotes kindness all year. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}.

A. It's a win-win for all

B. Giving seems to lessen our pain

C. You'll experience even greater joy

D. But consider being kind to yourself

E. Being kind seems to contribute to our sense of community

F. Giving donations to others has been shown to have that effect

G. However, any kindness you give to others is also a gift to yourself

When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was 1 , and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my2 . His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to shock. "You're3 my grade?" he said angrily. "I would never have come in4 …"

He didn't finish the5 , but it was obvious that his display of honesty was6 . He thought he'd have it all—praise and the higher grade.

Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade7 because all I'd accomplished was to discourage him from being8 in the future. And every time I tell this story some people agree with this9 .

But I can't see how I could give good reason for worsening my10 in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to11 an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest12 of his knowledge and it would have been13 to other students. How could I14 give a student a gift of an unearned grade?

I know15 reporting an error in one's favor is unusual, but, like16 too much change, it's clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up17 as much as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is18 enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.

Perhaps lowering the student's grade did19 him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it's cost-free would have20 him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.
