    Laugh at yourself. Learning to laugh at yourself is one of the biggest differences between happy people and depressed (沮丧的) people. If you can turn hard moments, mistakes, and shortcomings as chances for a good laugh at yourself, those things will affect you less.

    Laughing at yourself helps to tell the differences between "who you are" and "what you do." Everyone possibly makes a mistake sometimes, andit doesn't have to define (定义) you as a person. Laughing at yourself communicates to both you and the people around you that it's okay.

    Don't worry about the sound of your laugh. Everyone's laugh is different, if yours is polite and the source (来源) of legitimate (合理的) joy, you don't need to worry about having an "ugly" laugh. There's no such thing.

    If you're worried about laughing and often worried what people will think of you, it's hard to really have fun. If you're with the kind of people who make fun of someone for laughing, find new friends.

    Take your time. Even a busy person should learn to spare time for himself and spend time just staying alone. Doing these will help you relax and keep you calm and ready to laugh.

    Make sure you do something you enjoy each day. Relax by playing a record and smiling to yourself, having your favorite drink. Keep control of your mood.

    Try to add 15 minutes to your day where you can do something like watch a comedy TV play or look at humorous photos online. Try to put this in your timetable right after the most stressful part of your day if you can.

(1)、Laughing at yourself can _______.
A、make you depressed B、make a few mistakes C、give you a good chance D、make you happy

Imagine (想象) walking into a movie theater without being greeted by the smell of popcorn. It's hard to believe, isn't it? For many people, popcorn goes hand in hand with movies. They can't have one without the other. But 1  did this happen?

The 2  between the two is younger than you may think. In the mid-1800s, popcorn was already a popular snack in America. Vendors sold it on the 3  . People, especially kids, loved this street food. In the early 1900s, vendors started to sell popcorn 4  movie theaters.

However, theater owners didn't like popcorn. They believed it would make the experience of watching a movie 5  enjoyable. Eating it would make too much noise during the silent movies.

Later, when movies added sound, the 6  noise problem went away. More and more people went to the movies. Some of them even secretly(秘密地) took popcorn into the theaters. Later, more movie theaters 7  . Some of them agreed people to eat popcorn while they were watching movies.

In the 1930s, the theater owners found that people didn't need to buy popcorn from street vendors. Because popcorn was 8  to make, they could make and sell it themselves. They did that and the smell of popcorn drew more people to their theaters. The 9  made a lot of money, and people enjoyed themselves at the movies.

Today, popcorn is still an important part of the movie-going experience. Roles, a man who once ate three bags of popcorn, said, "People come to theaters sometimes just for the 10 . They don't even care what is playing!"

 请阅读全文,并从下列方框里的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。

A. There he studied educational philosophy under the guidance of John Dewey, an American philosopher and educational reformer (改革家). 

B. Even during the anti-Japanese war, Tao never forgot his dream. 

C. To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working. 

D. They are tasked with the mission to spread knowledge ideas and truth. 

E. On the voyage of life, he lit the light of hope for everyone. 

F. Apart from reforming(改革) education methods, Tao also tried his best to promote the education for ordinary people.

Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} But there's one person in China who is called the "teacher of teachers". 

He is Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi. Last year marked the 130 anniversary of his birth. People in different parts of China memorize Tao by visiting his memorial halls or holding meetings to think back on his thoughts on education. 

Born in Anhui province, China, 1891, Tao studied at Columbia University, the US, in 1914. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} .But when Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly copy Dewey's education method or theories. For Tao, education is an active process in real- life experiences rather than one of telling and being told. He encouraged "unity of teaching, learning, and reflective acting". 

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

After conducting surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy (文盲) in China went beyond 70 percent. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.To deal with the lack of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal college (晓庄师范学院) in the northern suburbs of Nanjing to train teachers and educators ,most of whom became teachers at rural schools. 

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}He set up Yucai Middle School in the suburbs of Chongqing and offered free education to refugee (避难) children after the Japanese invasion of China began in 1937. 

Maybe Tao's moto is the best explanation for his life, "Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not even a leaf of grass."

Life Is Full of the Unexpected

In Ashburn, Virginia, Rivera, 27, was running on a road at about 6 p.m. on Thursday. A 71-year-old woman from South Riding, Virginia, was driving a Toyota SUV on the road. And a deer came from somewhere suddenly.

The SUV knocked into the deer, which sent the animal flying into Rivera. She only remembers running on the road and then coming into an ambulance (救护车). The doctor, Emily, told her she needed to cut away one of her favorite running shirts. She told Rivera the shirt had deer blood all over it. "That's when I knew a deer was part of this accident, and it's amazing! Goddess. I'm still alive and I am lucky." Rivera said.

The deer died at the scene (现场). The driver was treated at Inova Loudoun Hospital and recovered. Rivera, who was taken to the same hospital and also recovered on Friday evening.

Rivera had finished five miles on Thursday in her orange running shoes and she was nearly getting to her home when the accident happened.

A woman passerby called 911 and used Rivera's phone to call her family. "Many thanks for her help. It is a pity (遗憾) that the deer lost its life in the accident." Rivera continued, "How should I retell this tale? Maybe it's hard to know where to start. Thanks to god, we are all right."

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

①Foreigners like growing flowers in the garden and enjoy the nice smell in spring. However, Chinese people prefer growing vegetables and get a harvest in autumn. For Chinese, bottles, even plastic bags are perfect for growing vegetables.

②It's said that there is a"vegetable gene(基因)" in every Chinese people. After all, they have farmed for thousands of years and gained rich experience in growing vegetables.

③A group of parents of Chinese students once grew vegetables at Yale University in the USA. This area used to be covered with weeds (杂草). To help change the situation, these Chinese parents worked together and finally turned weeds into vegetables.

④Africa is such a poor place. Many hard-working and kind-hearted Chinese workers went there to help. They helped build roads as well as taught Africans how to farm. All kinds of fruits and vegetables have been grown in Africa.

⑤The soldiers on the islands of the South China Sea also created a vegetable garden through their own efforts. It used to be difficult for the soldiers to eat fresh vegetables on the islands. But recently, they harvested 750 kg of vegetables on sandy beaches. Everyone was excited.

⑥With the development of the science and technology in China,Chinese people have grown vegetables all over the world,from Europe to Africa,from South Pole to the outer space. Just as what we saw in the movie,the days of planting potatoes on Mars(火星) will not be far away.
