  Half a minute? A few seconds?
Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds—as short as the blink of an eye—is too long for most Internet users.
A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.
Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are constantly gathering and sending out information.you can get digital "traffic jams". Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.
Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often.        Google said people do expect different things from different websites because they realize not all loading times are the same. For example, a person will be more patient waiting for a video clip to load than for a search result.
Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. This makes it difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times.
Pursuing a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet.
In the 1990s,when the World Wide Web first started to become popular,        people called it the "World Wide Wait". But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables for high-speed transmissions; they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.
Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet ._  But they will need to keep fighting to keep up with the developing demands of internet users.

Regardless of the difficulties you may face, it’s getting support and moving forward that counts(重要) the most when you need to deal with hardships.    
Write or talk about how you feel.
Keeping my feelings to myself used to make me feel lonely, but when I found someone who actually cared about me, it became natural to share how I felt with him and that contributed to my ability to overcome troublesome situation.        Although talking to strangers about your problems may seem crazy, it actually isn’t.

It is why it’s important to separate yourself from a situation long enough to think clearly.
Remind yourself that you are not alone.
Regardless of who or what you depend on, you need to remind yourself that you are not alone; you have people who do care.      Sometimes it’s strangers who may share the same feeling as you do. Think about it---- you may not know any readers personally but they could be in the exact same situation as you, so in fact, no one is truly alone.
Accept the results and get support again
  Whether the results of your choices proved to be helpful or not, it’s time for you to accept them and get support. This time you have a new experience go add to your book of life so the next time something tries to knock you down, it won’t be easy because you will be strong and determined to push forward.

Why Do We Get Angry?

Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events, personality traits（特征）, and our assessment of situations. ________

Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more.________ The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one's personal history and psychological traits.

Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. ________ Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.

________Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.

________However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.

A．	Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
B．	But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
C．	Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.
D．	Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.
E．	Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.
F．	Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.
G．	Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.

Many people think that positive thinking is mostly about keeping one's head in the sand and ignoring daily problems， trying to look optimistic. In reality it has more to do with the way an individual talks to himself. Self﹣talk is a constant stream of thoughts of a person， who is often unaware and uncertain of some events， phenomena， people， or even the person himself.（1） 　 　Meanwhile， positive thinking can help to stop negative self﹣talks and start to form a positive view on an issue. People who regularly practise positive thinking tend to solve problems more effectively. They are less exposed to stress caused by external factors. They tend to believe in themselves and in what they do.

（2） 　　People who think positively demonstrate increased life spans （寿命）， lower rates of depression and anxiety， better physical and psychological health， reduced risks of death from heart problems. Positive thinking also contributes to one's ability to deal with problems and hardships. （3） 　　For example， researchers have found that in the case of a crisis accompanied by strong emotions， such as a natural disaster， positive thinking can provide a sort of buffer （缓冲作用） against depression and anxiety. Resilient （适应性强的） people who think positively tend to treat every problem as a challenge， a chance for improvement of any kind， or as an opportunity for personal growth. Pessimists， on the contrary， tend to perceive problems as a source of additional stress.（4） 　　

In conclusion， positive thinking is a powerful and effective tool for dealing with hard times and improving the quality of one's life. It doesn't have anything to do with ignorant optimism when an individual refuses to notice a problem. （5） 　 A 　Thinking in a positive， self﹣encouraging way brings about many benefits to one's physical and mental health.

A．	It doesn't cause any severe emotional discomfort， either.
B．	Negative self﹣talk damages self﹣confidence and decreases self﹣respect.
C．	It helps one to remain clear﹣headed and confident in difficult situations.
D．	Positive thinking has several beneficial effects on the body and the mind.
E．	As thinking changes， an individual's behaviour and habits change as well.
F．	They often offer a real alternative to the common and regular way of thinking.
G．	They often feel discouraged long before trying to solve the problem， even if small.

Tips for cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time, ______Money is a topic I’ll save for another day．So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen．Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
1．Think ahead．The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat．So think about of the coming week．When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready?___ ____
2．Make your time worth it．When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on．Are you making one loaf of bread? _____ it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something．So save yourself the effort for a future meal．
3． _______ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation．It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule．The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule．
Hopefully that gives you a good start．_______ and don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!

A．Try new things．

B．Ability is easily improved．

C．Make three or four instead．

They are both so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar!. What are the difference between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉图式的)friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex?   
What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way.
   The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things automatically understood by our friends.
  In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted. But love transcends(超出)all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one many have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element.
  This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.
Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend.   You will not feel totally lost if you don’t meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friendship.

A．What about love?

B．My answer is “Yes!”

C．Let us try and understand.

D．Friendship does not have that.

E. We need not explain anything to our very good friends.
F. You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend.
G. The physical element may include hand in hand while walking.

For millions of years, coral reefs（珊瑚礁）have provided homes and food for thousands of different living things. Fish and sea birds share the reef with other creatures. Now these beautiful places are in danger.       Scientists have found that more than one-fourth of the earth’s coral reefs have been ruined so far. Another quarter will disappear in ten years’ time. Unless things change, all of the remaining reefs may die within your lifetime.
Some people think that coral is stone because of its rough（粗糙的）, hard surface. But coral is an animal. Tiny polyps（水螅体）form the coral reefs.      These colors come from the algae（海藻）living inside the coral. Billions of coral polyps stick together. New ones grow on the dead ones. This happens year after year. Over time, the coral builds up a reef. The reef rises from the ocean floor until it almost reaches the sea’s surface. It takes coral 500,000 years to build a huge reef.   
The coral reefs have been harmed mainly in three ways. The first factor is pollution on land. The pollutants run with rainwater into streams and rivers, which carry the poisons into the ocean.     So they will be easily infected with diseases. Another cause is people. People have broken off pieces of coral, which they want to sell or keep as souvenirs. People have dropped sticks of dynamite（炸药）into the water to catch more fish. The worst problem is the heating up of the oceans. Higher ocean temperatures kill the important food source for the coral—the algae, the tiny greenish-gold water plants that live on coral.     The coral turns white and dies. Scientists call this coral bleaching（珊瑚白化）. The bleached part of the coral reef cannot recover.

A．They come in many different colors.

B．However, humans have taken less than 100 years to destroy it.

C．This has blown up parts of the reefs.

D．When the algae die, the coral loses both its food and its color.

E. So are all the sea plants and animals that depend on them.
F. Chemicals from the poisons kill reefs or make them weak.
G. Many of them might not even last that long!

 From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job.In many European countries — like the UK or France —
Talks and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand.I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion;  The people present just stared at me and smiled.After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values;   We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values,   However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

A．and sometimes these values are quite against each other.

B．people from both nations keep the rule that work comes first.

C．Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.

D．however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.

E. instead there was an uncomfortable silence.
F. It is quite a common case to meet people from different cultures.
G. people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.

Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.
   Make a study time and have it at the same time every day. This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.
Allow them to study in blocks of time, such as for half an hour with a five-minute break in the middle.       Ideal (理想的)study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner.
Never allow your children to study in front of the television, as that will encourage passive activity.      You’ll also need to help your kids find the right place to study. After you’ve set up a good study time for little learners, set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing.
    Make sure there is a table or a desk and a comfortable chair.
    This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions. The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable.

A．Hold them to the schedule they create for themselves.

B．Pick a place where your children can study properly.
