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.

"Look out!" one of the young men shouted,because a bull(公牛)appeared and began to chase(追赶)them. The bull looked like a monster and made a terrible roar (咆哮), rolling its big eyes. They were very scared. They ran as fast as they could, but the bull kept running after them.
Finally, one of the men climbed up a tree.The other jumped into a hole, but soon he came out of it.And then the bull chased him back into the hole.
"Stay there!" his friend shouted, but soon the man came out again,and again the bull chased him right back.
The same thing went on another three times.
At last, the man in the tree got angry and shouted to his friend ,"How foolish you are! 1 have told you to stay in the hole for a while! Why are you always coming out?"
"It's easy for you to say," the other man said more angrily."But there is a bear in the hole!"

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)
Sometimes we throw apple remains into forests,hoping small animals around may find them.But what if they are never noticed?People believe they would rot(腐烂)one day.So it doesn't matter.Is that true?
Sure they will.But it won't happen overnight.
Marjorie Woodruff,works in the Grand Canyon,set up a small experiment.She put a banana peel(皮),orange peels in a box,wide enough to allow small animals to go in and out.After six months,the orange peels had dried out,the banana had turned black.Nothing had been eaten or had rotted.
She buried the same things in sand and soil and six months later everything could still be seen.
In fact,it takes two months for apple remains to rot and an orange peel can take up to one year.
"Do we eat orange peels? We do not.So why would a squirrel(松鼠)eat? "Woodruff writes in High Country News. "The animals do just fine on nuts and berries.They do not need us."There's another point to think about.
When animals start to get food from people.they may stop looking for their own food in nature.This is dangerous because it may weaken their hunting ability.Besides,they need different food.
Food waste also attracts animals to areas where there are a lot of people,says the Leave No Trace organization.This may put their life in danger as they may get used to looking for food alongside busy roads. Many of them are too small to be noticed by drivers.
When you're throwing fruit remains,you may be fined(罚款).Fines are different.Some states might only fine people 100,but a few states fine people more than 6,000 for a first time.
(1)Where does Marjorie Woodruff work?
(2)How long does it take for apple remains to rot?
(3)Which animal is mentioned?
(4)How much might you be fined at least if you throw fruit remains?
(5)Why can't we give food waste to animals?
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.
(1)When did the writer fly alone for the first time?
(2)How did the local school determine the students' language level?
(3)Did the writer enjoy the experience of communicating in French?
(4)What did the writer think of the visit to historic Quebec City?
(5)What could be the main reason for the writer's improvement in French?

Nowadays, a new method is used to decide who are the top students in school. The best students are those who not only get high marks, but also follow the rules and the behavior standards for middle school students. Here are some of the new rules and standards.
Tell The truth. Have you ever copied someone else's work on an exam? If you have, then don't do it again! That's not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don't tell your parents you were doing homework.
Learn to work together with others. It would be more fun when more people work together. Did you fight with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, instead of only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Perhaps you'll discover Earth II someday. Don't look down on new ideas. Everyone's ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Use the Internet carefully. Some websites on the Internet aren't for kids, so make sure to visit the web pages that are good for you. You can visit the websites for fun or homework. Can't you find any good websites for children?
