Dear Zelin Gao,

I am a high school student of the same age with you.

Yours truly,

Li Hua

I was in the seventh grade. In a school of 【1】 ( main ) white students, I didn’t fit in anywhere. I was one of the four Asia students, so I ended up hanging out with other 【2】 (minority). During every lunch period, I would play a card game with one of my closest friends, Evan and tell 【3】 everything.

One afternoon, I was walking with Evan. As we turned a corner, Evan stopped 【4】

( talk ) to me, “ Why are you talking to me? I am not your friend.” Then he kept walking and never looked back. 【5】 ( shock ) by his words, I stood with tears in my eyes .

We didn’t speak to each other after that, and I didn’t get close to anyone for fear of 【6】 ( hurt ) again. It wasn’t until in high school 【7】 I began to trust other people again. What Evan said that day made me realize that I could make friends but I must be careful in choosing

【8】 whom I open up.

If that incident 【9】 (happen), I wouldn’t have made new friends in high school and met the people who 【10】 (be ) my best friends now.

You want to be happy, who doesn’t? However, whether you procrastinate(拖延), feed negative self-talk, or don’t rest your mind, you lower your potential to create happiness.

Procrastination

You aren’t in deadly danger if you procrastinate, but your system doesn’t always take this information on board. You still react as though you are anxious and produce stress chemicals.

【1】 Your ability to see the big picture of life is reduced when you procrastinate. Therefore, you don’t see as much joy.

Negative self-talk

【2】 Taking notice of what goes on in your head and putting positive change in action makes negative self-talk useful. Nevertheless, most people don’t recognize negative self-talk as a pointer; they feed it until it grows out of control.

【3】

Your mind contains an incredible amount of information and is more powerful than any computer many times over. However, if you give it too many tasks, you shut out peace of mind.

【4】 Thought-overload results in physical symptoms, like a racing heart and shortness of breath. Additionally, you might have sleeplessness, digestive problems and other symptoms of stress that reduce your happiness.

If you want to increase the odds of being happy, don’t procrastinate. 【5】 Similarly, don’t overload your mind, give it a rest and you will soon notice you are happier.

A. Not resting your mind.

B. Using your brain regularly.

C. It is a human weakness to put things off.

D. At the same time, don’t feed negative self-talk.

E. Self-talk can tell you how healthy you are emotionally.

F. Additionally, as your system is nervous physically, your mind also closes off a little.

G. Thinking about many things at once leads to a feeling of anxiety.

I noticed a young Chinese couple staring at 【5】 (we) when we came to a crossroads and were waiting for the light to change. I figured they were probably wondering 【6】 a pregnant foreigner was dragging her little kid out through the rain. But as we crossed the street,【7】 woman offered me her umbrella. I told her I couldn’t take it when it was clearly starting to storm. She insisted,【8】 (hand) it to me and hurried off with her husband.

Though caught in the rain 【9】 (expect), we still treasured the memory and will always recall the 【10】 (friend) and kindness of the Chinese couple.

He was about to give up hope when one day, my younger sister Babita and I beat up two boys accidentally in response to critical comments. My dad found our potential to become wrestlers and began coaching us. 【2】 We were required to do physical training early in the morning and have a short haircuts to avoid lice.

【3】 We would complain about him all the time. Gradually, I realized that he wanted us to have a good future and not grow up to be ordinary housewives. Motivated, we willingly participated in his coaching.

With great efforts, he made us competitive wrestlers and I won the junior and senior championships, providing me with a chance to gain training in a National Sports Academy, where pride and pain fulfilled my mind.【4】 As a result, I found myself losing every match at the international level. After that, I tearfully made peace with papa and turned to him for help. Then he coached me patiently.

Despite difficulty, I finally became the first Indian female wrestler to qualify for the Olympics, inspiring dozens of Indian women to take to wrestling. Even now, papa’s words are still in my mind “Geeta, think about all the girls who are thought to be inferior to boys, girls who are forced to do chores, girls who are married and have children. Not only will you compete with other countries, but also with those who look down upon women!”. I will never forget our father’s instruction. 【5】.

A. But his methods were cruel.

B. I almost gave up what papa had taught me.

C. Disappointingly, my mother gave birth to all girls.

D. My sister and I tried to escape.

E. I will always owe all success to him.

F. At first, my sister and I did not understand our father.

G. However, my mother didn’t agree with him.

Lying is complex. It exists in our daily and business lives. We’re deeply disturbed by the truth. We explain it, sometimesfor very good reasons, other times just because we don’t understand the gaps between ideals and realities in our lives. We’re against lying, but secretly we’re for it in ways that our society has practiced for centuries and centuries. It’s as old as breathing. It’s part of our culture and history. Think the stories fromDante, Shakespeare, the Bible, News of the World.

Lying has great value to the evolution of human beings. Researchers have long known that the more intelligent the species, the more likely it is to lie. We humans like to become leaders. It starts really early. How early? Well, babies will pretend to cry, pause, wait to see who’s coming and then go right back to crying. One-year-olds learn hiding truth. Five-year-olds lie outright and try to control through flattery (奉承). Nine-year-olds, masters of covering up.

So what do we do about lies? Well, there are steps we can take to guide our way through the bushes. Trained lie spotters (檢測(cè)員) get to the truth 90% of the time. The rest of us, we’re only 54% right. There are clever liars and stupid liars, but there’re no real creative liars. While lying, we all make the same mistakes, and we all use the same techniques.

A. harmful B. easy

【2】Lying is complex because__________.

A. people are for it as well as against it B. it is the whole part of great culture

【3】According to the passage, a lie works when __________.
