Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear.        We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.
Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.
Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide.       
The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts. That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube.      
First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole.
      
Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water level easily.
      
As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the level in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water level in the straw each morning for a week.

A．Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.

B．We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.

C．Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is struck into the cap to seal (把……粘住) them together.

D．The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.

E．They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.
F．Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.
G．People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.

How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never gain anything in life. However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
  Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.  
Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.      Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.  Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
  Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

A．To fight family laziness, set an example.

B．Knowing how to fight laziness is important.

C．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.

D．Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.

E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind.
G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.

Finding your dream job can be difficult. This month, the search will become even harder as new graduates start looking for work. With many companies still struggling, job hunters have a very difficult task ahead of them.
Don’t be disappointed. Consider using these three methods to find and get the job of your dreams.
The Front Door
These include checking company websites and employment services. Since lots of people use the front door, make yourself stand out. This means understanding what a company really needs and creatively showing you can meet that need.  Find out who is doing the hiring, and try to give them your resume (简历) in person. Then follow up with a phone call, letter or visit.
The Back Door
A back-door job search means finding a job through people you know. The back door can help you avoid the crowd of job applicants using the front door.  What if you don’t have any connections at your dream company? Apply for an internship (实习期).
The Invisible Door
If you’re still not getting hired, you might be running into an invisible (无形的) door. Invisible doors are things companies want from new employees but don’t list as job requirements. Many companies have special company cultures. Others are looking for people with very specific skills.  
It’s not always easy to find a good job. But with a little work, a door will open!

A．Using the front door is convenient.

B．Create your own back door.

C．This type of job search uses traditional ways of getting hired.

D．If you aren’t showing you are a perfect fit, you won’t get hired.

E. There are still jobs out there for those who know what to look for.
F. But you still need to work hard to show you are the best person for the job.
G. Read about each company you apply to.

Tiffany, a 16-year-old girl, was very shy. Last September, her best friend, Sophie, moved abroad with her family because she had to continue her studies in America. She even said she would not come back for at least a few years.     “I was really sad the moment I heard the bad news and I didn’t know what to do”, Tiffany recalled （回忆）. “I shut myself in my room for a whole week. It was then that my aunt took me to a sports club one Saturday and I saw so many young people playing various sports there. I signed up for a beginner’s course in volleyball and since then I have been playing this sport. Now I practice twice a week there. It is wonderful playing sports in this club and I have made lots of friends as well.     ”
The most basic aim of playing sports is that you can improve your health even if you are not very good at sports.     Tiffany used to be a very quiet girl. Since she joined the sports club, she has opened up herself and now she has become very active and enjoys meeting and talking with others. For most people, that is one of the attractions of joining a sports club. You can get to know other young people who have similar interests.    You go in for sports and it is easier to understand your partners on the same team. Now Tiffany is quite popular with her friends and she has also gained more confidence.
  The mind needs exercise as well as the body.

A．Try to do regular sports.

B．Tiffany became lonely and helpless.

C．You can find what you’re really interested in.

D．It was three years later that Sophie came back.

E. You don’t have to sit down and talk to strangers.
F. What’s more, I feel I am much healthier than before.
G. In addition, you can get to know a circle of people at your age while playing sports.

A Carefully edit it B. Keep thank-you letters short C. Just do it ------ and do it quickly D. Be genuine in your appreciation E. Stress some of your key selling points F. Add points not addressed in interviews

Tips for writing a job-search interview
thank-you letter
_________________
You should try to send out your thank-you letters within 24 hours of your interview---- no longer than about two or three days afterward. If you have a hard time writing letters and don't want to write any, fight that urge and force yourself to write something. Studies continue to show that the vast majority of job-seekers do not send thank-you letters. As a result, by doing so, you will stand out from other applicants. The speed is of great importance, so you can either email your thank-you letters or drop them off the next day.
________________
Write your thank-you note from the heart. Everyone values authentic communications, so rather than using a boring thank-you letter from the Internet, use your own words and feelings to write your letter. Find a way to express your genuine feelings of appreciation and connection with the interviewer. One word of caution: Don’t give fake praise and appreciation; keep it honest and simple.
________________
One of the main goals of an employment interview is to determine if there is a good fit between the interviewee (you, the job-seeker) and the employer. Thus, one of your key goals in your thank-you letter should be to clearly express your strong fit with the organization. At the same time, it’s also good to mention a few of your key selling points ------ points that exactly match the requirements of the position you are seeking. Even a thank-you letter is a chance to market yourself.
_________________
Job interviews are stressful situations and even with excellent preparation, we can sometimes forget to mention something that may be a key selling point. If that happened to you, no worries as you can add the point in your thank-you letter. As you are summarizing your fit with the position and employer, you simply add the additional point you forgot to make in the interview.
__________________
One of the worst things you can do is to write an amazing thank-you letter, but realize after you sent it that it had a misspelling, or poor construction. Especially check and double-check the spelling of the name of the employer. Write a draft of your letter and come back to it later to edit it. Read it aloud to check how it flows. Have someone else read it for errors. Review your final version carefully before sending it.

下面文章中有4处, 需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。
A. Exercise
B. Early to Bed, Early to Rise
C. Read Challenging Books
D. Take Time to Think Deeply
E. Reducing Television Watching
Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus. Here are 5 simple ways anyone can have a try.
__________—— This is a hard sell（强迫推销）. People love vegetating（="doing" nothing like plants） in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity or allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy taken out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise. When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have some communication. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.
__________—— Many people like to read popular suspense fiction, but generally these books aren't mentally beneficial. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read when necessary and you’ll soon grow used to the author’s style.
__________—— Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than the lack of sleep. You'll be most energetic if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late, you’ll wake up tiredly and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early morning hours are the most productive. Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes your mental acuity（敏锐）all day.
__________—— Often our lives get so busy that we become defeated without even realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate because disturbing thoughts keep interrupting. Spending some time alone having second thoughts gives you a chance to organize your thoughts and have a better understanding of what's important and what isn’t. The unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your mind will feel less tired.

All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy and happy, and to live longer.
     They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excited when their player or team wins.
     Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy!       Think how many lovers to skate or ski in Japan, Norway or Canada.
Some sports or game go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet.     Water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.
People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends.      One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.

A．And think of people in cold countries.

B．Sports help to train a person’s character.

C．Not a few people participate in different sports competitions themselves.

D．Many people like to watch others play games.

E．People aren’t inventing new sports or games.
F．Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere take part in them.
G．People are inventing new sports or games all the time.

Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stress
Everybody gets stressed time to time.Some ways of dealing with stress---like screaming or hitting someone---don't solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.
Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:

(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary. Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it. These steps aren't magic, but they do work.

B．Different people feel stress in different ways

C．You need to figure out what the problem is.
