I caught a cold． It was really a bad cold． Actually， the doctor later told me that I had the flu （流感）．
My head was pounding． My throat was hurting． My body was aching．My voice became hoarse and I could hardly speak．I never experienced anything like this before．Worst of all， my sore throat was so serious that I couldn't even swallow（吞咽）!
I knew I should drink more fluids﹣water， soup or juice ﹣ and maybe take some medicine． But I couldn't． Each time I tried to swallow， it hurt so much． So my dad took me to the hospital．
A doctor came in．He checked my throat．He then checked my lungs．After his examination，he said，"Nothing to worry about． You have the flu．"
"Why is it so serious？" I asked．"Can you give me some medicine so that I don't suffer as much？"
"No，" the doctor said．"No medicine can cure （治愈） your flu． Don't be sad． Your body is an amazing thing． It will cure itself without any help．""What？ My body will fix things on its own？"I cried in disbelief．
Yes， your body's immune system （免疫系统） will fight the virus （病毒） for you． No doctor or medicine will cure you．" repeated the doctor．
My tears rushed out．I had not realized this in the past．Everything had always seemed so natural．I've had my meals every day for thirteen years． I drink water like taking a breath﹣without thinking about it at all．
Now， I understand that even a simple thing like swallowing is like a miracle （奇迹）． The parts of my body do their jobs amazingly well一and yet quietly， without me even noticing．
I don't remember how many days it took me to be well again， but I do remember what my father told me． He said that we should all appreciate our bodies and the miracle of how they are built．

Public speaking is one of the top three fears among adults in both the UK and the US． Here are some suggestions that deal with some of the most common problems people experience with public speaking．
Invite the attention in
Do you hate that moment when you stand up in front of a group to speak and everybody looks at you？① ． It's a sign that people are interested and want to hear what you have to say． Welcome those looks!
Beat the brain freeze
Have you ever been in the middle of speaking and suddenly……brain freeze!② ． It is possible that you forgot something for the moment． And you are holding your breath! All you need to do is to trust yourself， clear your mind， focus and breathe． The thoughts will come rushing back to your mind in no time． Phew!
Increase your confidence
Use this exercise to get in touch with the "naturally confident （自信的） you" inside． Close your eyes and remember a special time you felt really relaxed and confident． Imagine the feeling of relaxation rushing through your whole body． It will pass information to your brain that you are confident and happy．③ Whether you are someone who just wants to move from good to great with your speaking， or someone who feels too afraid to stand up and speak， the great news is that you can move forward， be relaxed， and turn into a great speaker．④
（2）Write down another suggestion on how to become a good speaker． （答案不多于5个单词）
Learning to communicate well is a skill you will use all your life． You need this skill in your personal life to express your feelings to friends and family members． You need to be able to communicate well in school， too． Your future job success may also depend on your ability to communicate．
Kinds of Communication
There are two main kinds of communication． The first kind is verbal communication（ 语 言 交 流 ）． It includes the use of words to send information． Speaking and writing are both forms of verbal communication．
Nonverbal communication（ 非语言交流） includes any means of sending a message that does not use words． Your appearance， body language and the way you react are all forms of nonverbal communication．
Global（全球的） Connections
Communication Differences
Western cultures value direct eye contact（交流 ） and train kids to "look people in the eye"． But Japanese， African， and many Latin American cultures avoid eye contact to show respect．
Go Green
Green Technology
Have you ever considered computers to be green technology？ Think about all the trees needed to make paper for books and your written activities． The ability to transfer（ 转 移 ） the written tasks to a computer makes it quite an environmentally friendly invention．
Community Connections
Good Manners
It is easy to have good manners if you try to think of others first． If someone new joins your group of friends or moves into your neighborhood， make a self﹣introduction first． Make him or her feel welcome． Help someone who needs a hand． Hold the door open for the person behind you．
Being an Active Listener
Communication is a two﹣way process． Sometimes you are the sender and sometimes you are the receiver． To receive the messages clearly， it helps to be an active listener． Active listening is a communication skill in which the listener shows a clear understanding of what a person is saying． You can do thisin several ways．
◆Repeat what you think the speaker is saying．
◆Let the speaker know you are listening by nodding or shaking your head．
◆If the message you receive is not clear， ask questions．
◆Listen before answering．
◆Do not interrupt（打断）． Allow the speaker to finish what he or she has to say．

Do you check your mobile phone often？ Do you feel anxious if your mobile phone is not with you？ When there is no WiFi or signal for your mobile phone， will you get nervous？ If you say yes，then you've got addiction（上瘾） to mobile phones．
①Nowadays， we can see the scene everywhere in the life： in subways， restaurants， roads， people are watching their mobile phones． From family party to dating with a friend， people couldn't stop checking their twitter， WeChat， facebook on the mobile phones and snubbing（忽视）the persons in front completely． Phubbing （低头症） influences not only the young people， but also the old and even the kids．
"Phubbing" is a new word which comes from the words "phone" and "snub"． It describes the habit of snubbing someone in favor of a mobile phone． ②因为玩手机，更多的人变得沉默．They do nothing but bow to play mobile phones．③time， spend，too， they， phones， much， the， on（．） And they don' t have time to communicate with persons in real life．

I am Canadian． I started learning French when I was 10 years old． But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom． All of that changed， however， during my last summer of high school． As a 17﹣year﹣old girl， I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French﹣speaking host family， who didn't speak any English． And I would learn French at a local school．
On the first day of school， all of us students were given a test to determine（测定）our language level． We were required to speak only French all summer．
I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends， seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French． Though I couldn't understand most of it at the very beginning， the whole experience was exciting and refreshing．
On weekends， my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province． On one trip， we went whale watching on the St． Lawrence River． Even though it was raining， we could see huge whales swimming around our boat． The most memorable part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City． I walked along the stone streets， took pictures of the European﹣style（欧式的）buildings， and learned some stories there．
Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer， I was able to communicate pretty well． I couldn't wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher． Being fully immersed（沉浸）in a French﹣speaking environment was a valuable learning experience． And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French．

To the Editor，
I am writing as a member of One﹣on﹣One，the sixth﹣grade mentoring （指导） group．Our group is two years old and made up of 14 students．Our task is to help students reach their goals through mentoring．We hope the readers of this school newspaper will join our group． This is my first year as a mentor，but I have already learned that everyone taking part in mentoring gets something out of it．
I was assigned （分配） to a mentor last year． Mentoring was one of the best things that happened to me． I was able to turn the corner at an important point in my studies， going from nearly failing math to passing it． It still amazes me that I completely changed from almost hating math to loving it! Would you believe I'm even thinking of studying math in college？ Even if I don't， I have skills that I will use for the rest of my life． My own experience made me feel certain of becoming a mentor this year and helping other students like myself． Now that I am a mentor， I realize what a good feeling you get from helping someone else and knowing that you' re making a difference in his or her life．In many situations，lasting friendships are made as well． My mentor and I hit it off right away．And we're still good friends today．
Becoming a mentor is a serious commitment（承诺）．Mentors spend one hour every week with the student they are mentoring．Considering your responsibilities，it may be difficult to add another commitment to your schedule．But I hope you will at least consider the possibility．
Thank you for considering our invitation． We look forward to hearing from you．
Sincerely，
Mark Lopez
