The sea has always interested man. From it he can get food, minerals and treasure. But he couldn’t go far beneath its surface.
However, he isn’t a fish. Because he must breathe air, he can’t stay under the water’s surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems.
A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a hose and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea. .
When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to the surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles. The diver is then suffering from the bends(潜水员病). The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain.
A.His body is under great pressure. |
B.Scientists are trying to find more about the sea. |
C.For thousands years, he could sail on it |
D.They can even kill him. |

Five Ways to Instantly Rid Yourself of Needless Worry
A while back, I had a great day and everything was going exactly as I wanted.I was meeting tons of new people and everything was amazing.I felt like I've accomplished a lot.Then suddenly, like an unexpected swift jab, someone made a small remark about me.I felt hurt and the worry began flowing in.Over the years, I've developed belief systems that help me get rid of these worries.I want to share these with you.
______ It just isn't possible to get everyone to like you.Trust me, I've tried.This only leads to disappointment on a daily basis, since you can't possibly live up to the entire world's expectations.Here's a new goal for you instead if you really want to get rid of worry and unhappiness from your life.Focus on what you think of yourself.Who cares what that stranger thinks? If you're happy with who you are and you know what weaknesses you should fix then forget about the world.Life is bigger than trying to look awesome; life is about actually being awesome.
______ The first thing I ask myself is, will this negative thought affect me in the future at all? Is it going to decrease my quality of life somehow? More often than not, it's just something I'll soon forget about anyway.So I put myself into the future by a couple of days and imagine myself.In this vision, I realize that I won't be bothered by something so small and I most likely wouldn't even remember it.A lot of times, just the idea of it fleeting away very soon is enough for me to block out these disturbances.
______ When I feel like I'm inadequate based on the need for approval from others, I begin to do some self-reflect on my achievements.I think about how much I've improved in the past year.I've met amazing people, developed active listening skills, and started something I've been thinking about for the past two years.Looking further back, I transformed from a socially awkward kid to a socially lively and confident person.All thanks to mental skills that I consciously yield.I was blessed with true fortunes that others do not have; I was blessed with the gift of self-improvement.
_______ Write anywhere you can, whether it's in a blog, in your journal, or on a post-it note that you can throw dramatically into the ocean.Get those worries out onto paper.Look at it, assess its importance, then tear it, burn it, or throw it into the ocean like I just said.You can then look back at that paper you just destroyed and laugh at how ridiculous you were being.Who cares if that lady looked at you strangely? Who cares that someone may have noticed stains on your new white sneakers? Write all of that, then destroy it.
_____ Finally, just reflect on how short life is; focus on how life is constantly fleeting.Do you really want to spend what little time you have on this beautiful earth worrying about something you won't even remember by next week? Don't be silly, get out there and enjoy life.You've got it pretty good, I'd bet.Don't waste it on needless worry.

Every student has tests when they are at school. But have you ever been so worried about the tests that you can’t fall asleep at night? Have you ever felt sick or had a headache during a test? __ This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad.

Taking a math test can be pretty stressful. Even if you know the material, you can still get the problem wrong. Knowing how to go through your math test and check your work can save you from handing in a test full of mistakes that can be avoided.
Write it out
You can also check a math problem by writing everything out on paper. Writing out math problems reduces your chances of missing anything to the lowest possible level, which is a common cause of incorrect answers.
Make sure your answers work by doing the opposite procedure of what your problem calls for, including the answer you got the first time around. In other words, you would use the opposite of this addition problem—subtraction (减法)—to determine whether or not your answer is the correct one.
Plugging in
You may find that a variable(变量) isn’t good enough or have a problem where you have to solve for a variable. This is the only real way to assure yourself that the answer you’ve found is correct.
Check for a reasonable answer
For example, if you get an answer in the millions and you know it should be in the thousands, you’ve likely misplaced a point. Go back through the work on your paper to make sure all of your formulas and calculations are correct. If everything looks okay, do the problem again and compare the result of the second try to what you’ve got on the first try.
A.Do the opposite |
B.Correct the answers |
C.Plug the variable in the equation (方程) to check it out. |
D.Therefore you’ll improve your grades, as well as your math skills. |
E. It also helps you to figure out everything after you have already finished the test.
F. If the result of a problem seems to make no sense, it indicates that the answer is incorrect.
G. This helps you to know what information you have and what information you need to solve.
Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 16But it seems that many people don't cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn't difficult. 17 This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.
18 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you're standing at the ocean's edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn't fresh. 19 When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you'd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don't cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn't as tasty as the fresh one.
There are many common methods used to cook fish. 20First, lean it and season it with your choice of spices(调料). Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it's ready to serve.
A. |
Do not buy it. |
B. |
The easiest is to steam it. |
C. |
This is how you can do it. |
D. |
It just requires a little knowledge. |
E. |
The fish will go bad within hours. |
F. |
When buying fish, you should first smell it. |
G. |
The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease. |

Magazine Articles: More Valuable Than You May Think
Parents are often surprised when teachers suggest their children read magazines. Read on to learn about the benefits that reading magazines offers to young readers and how to introduce your children to the medium.
Magazine Benefits
Magazine articles can provide reluctant readers with a lively, breezy writing style that can inspire them to read more.
The articles in magazines are generally short, which allows a child to finish reading a feature article without losing interest due to a short attention span. The writing in magazines also tends to be easy to read, especially if it is a children's publication.
By allowing your child to read magazines at an early age, you are encouraging development of a useful skill.(1) Getting into the habit of reading periodicals as a child will foster the habit of reading news articles that may continue into adulthood.
(2) Magazine articles challenge students to think about issues they may have never considered or cause them to rethink their world view. Information is available in a wide variety of reading levels because magazines are written for every audience imaginable. Many publications cover the same material in different writing styles that might make it easier for your child to comprehend.
Magazine Activities
Reading magazines as a family can be used to introduce each other to the various interests that each family member possesses. When your children are finished with their magazines, encourage them to pass their issue on to a sibling or other family member.
Once each family member has finished reading each magazine, you can use them for art and writing projects. These projects are for family members of all ages:
1. Cut out pictures to help your preschool and kindergarten children learn their alphabet, numbers, and colors.
2. (3) Paste the picture at the top of a page and have them write a story about what is happening or what the picture represents.
3. Clip pictures to create a collage. Many teenagers love using their artistic talents to collage.
(4) The skills that students utilize and strengthen when reading magazines can be applied to higher level reading and other academic subjects. Encouraging your child to read by giving them a magazine subscription could cause them to take the leap from being a reluctant reader to a voracious page﹣turner.
