In 2016, Wanda Dench was trying t let her grandkids knw abut the family’s upcming plans fr the hliday and tried t send a text message t her grandsn. But Jamal Hintn, wh was a 17-year-ld high schl student and cmplete stranger t Dench at the time, received the text instead.

“Thank yu fr all the blessings, and thank yu s much fr having Lnnie in my life,” Dench said as everyne sat arund the table. “I miss him, but I knw he’s in a gd place. S t everybdy here, I lve yu and have a wnderful Thanksgiving.”

Almst every cmmunity in the wrld has sme frm f rules and sme way f carrying them ut. A cmmunity is a grup f peple wh are united by a number f factrs, including gegraphy, language, and values. S why d we have rules, and what makes peple fllw them? Studies have suggested that the reasn we dn’t like cheating and rule-breaking is that fairness is prgrammed int ur brains. They have fund that the brain reacts in a particular way when we feel we are being treated unfairly. The findings cncluded that fairness is a basic human need alng with fd and scial cntact.
Our sense f fairness depends n the influences in ur culture, the immediate situatin we are in, and ur wn self-interest. Arriving at a feeling f fairness means cnsidering different, ften cnflicting, pints f view. Regardless f the disagreement, peple almst always need t cmprmise. But it can be difficult t arrive at a cmprmise (妥协) when there are cnflicting interests. This is why cmmunities have rules that everyne must fllw.
Scial cntrls are an imprtant factr in setting and fllwing rules. They influence the way we behave and can be internal r external. Internal cntrls cme frm within and are based n ur values and fears. Mst f us dn’t steal, fr example, because we believe that theft is unfair and wrng. In ther wrds, ur internal cntrls keep us frm behaving in ways that cause cnflict.
External cntrls include rewards and punishments. They d nt cme frm within but are implemented by an authrity — this culd be the gvernment, the plice, a teacher r parents, depending n the situatin. Rewards, such as jb prmtins, awards, and praise, are designed t encurage peple t behave and act in the interest f the whle cmmunity. Punishments, such as public embarrassment, fines, and even imprisnment can prevent peple frm acting against the cmmunity’s best interests.
Peple need their cmmunities t functin smthly. Because f this, humans mst ften behave in rderly, fair, and predictable ways. If there were n rules, the majrity f peple wuld prbably cntinue t interact psitively. Hwever, there wuld always be a minrity wh wuld nt, with serius cnsequences. This is why a sciety withut rules is unlikely t becme a reality any time sn — at least nt in the real wrld. (390 wrds)
1．Why d we have rules and fllw them?
2．Hw d scial cntrls influence ur behavir?
3．Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then change it and explain why.
Our internal cntrl cmes frm rewards and punishments frm an authrity like ur schl.
4．If yu culd change a rule at yur schl/hme/cmmunity, which ne wuld yu like t change? Why? (In abut 40 wrds)

When I was eight r nine years ld, I wrte my first pem. My mther read the little pem and began t cry. “Buddy, yu didn’t really write this beautiful, beautiful pem!”
Shyly, prud-bursting, I stammered that I had. She pured ut her praise. Why, this pem was nthing shrt f genius! I glwed.
I spent the best part f that afternn preparing fr the arrival f my father. But he did nt return until an hur late fr dinner. “Ben, a beautiful thing has happened,” my mther began. “Buddy has written his first pem! And it’s beautiful, abslutely amazing.”
“If yu dn’t mind, I’d like t decide that fr myself,” Father said.

Why wuld human beings waste a third f their lives sleeping when they culd be ding mre imprtant things like lking after their families r wrking? Sme scientists believe sleeping helps recharge the bdy. while thers think it is imprtant fr strengthening newly frmed memries. Nw, there is new evidence which suggests that the purpse f sleep may be t frget sme f the millins f new things we learn each day.
The neurns in the human brain cnsist f fibers called dendrites (树突). These grw as we learn new things and cnnect the brain’s cells t each ther at cntact pints called synapses (突触). The larger the dendrites becme and the mre cells they cnnect, the mre infrmatin we stre.
In 2018. Giuli Tnni and Chiara Cirelli, bth bilgists at the University f Wiscnsin Madisn, suggested a new idea: The things ur brains learn each day result in s many synapses that things start t get a little messy. Sleeping allws us t srt thrugh (整理) the “nise” and dispense all the unnecessary infrmatin. leaving behind nly the mst imprtant memries.
Recently, the university’s research has prvided direct evidence t supprt the thery. The experiment invlved analyzing 6. 920 synapses in the brain shavings frm tw grups f mice ver a fur-year perid: ne grup had been allwed t sleep, while the ther had been kept awake and entertained with tys. The researchers discvered that the brain shavings f the sleeping mice had nearly 20 percent fewer synapses than thse that had been kept awake and entertained.
It was als evident during the study that the brain des nt shave every synapse. 20% f neurns remained unchanged: these were mst likely well established memries. Therefre. althugh we may be sleeping t frget sme f what we’ve learned, the brain “frgets” in a smart way.
Mst researchers believe clearing ur brains is nt the nly purpse f sleep.
Resting ur minds and bdies has als been fund t help with ther bilgical functins like strengthening ur immunity. Thugh scientists may never agree n a single reasn. they are all sure f ne thing — a gd night’s rest is essential fr ur health. S try and spend at least a third f yur day sleeping!

One f the basic expectatins the public have f dctrs is hnesty. But what wuld yu think if I tld yu that research has shwn that 70 percent f dctrs admitted t lying t their patients? It is inexcusable, surely? Extremely unprfessinal and uncaring; a clear break f the dctr-patient relatinship. Sme f the lies tld included reassuring patients that their wives r husbands were still alive, when in fact they were dead. This seems unimaginable but, if I am hnest, I have tld exactly the same lie t several patients whse spuses had died. Mrs. Waltn was in her eighties and desperate t see her husband. She’d been in hspital after a fall and was in pain. She called ut fr him frequently and culdn’t understand why he wasn’t there t cmfrt her. She was becming mre and mre distressed and wuld try t get up t find him, despite being at risk f falling again.
“He’s n his way, dn’t wrry,” the nurses wuld say and this wuld calm her dwn. I cnfess I said the same thing t her. She’d smile and rll her eyes and say hw he was always late fr things and tell the same stry abut him being late fr their wedding nearly 60 years ag. But he wasn’t n his way. It was a lie. He’d died tw years ag. The truth, if I can use that wrd, is that it is a kindness t lie smetimes.
Part f the natural histry f many f the dementias, in particular Alzheimer’s disease which is what Mrs. Waltn had, is that the sufferer lses their shrt-term memry and the memry f recent events, but retains memries frm the distant past. Sufferers are trapped frever in a bewildering past that many realise bares little cnnectin t the present, but are at a lss t explain. It is very distressing and trmenting and many f the behaviural difficulties that I have encuntered in thse with dementia relate t them feeling upset, scared and cnfused that they are in a strange place, surrunded by strange peple, even when they are in their wn hmes surrunded by their family, because they have returned back t decades ag.
They lk at their adult children cnfused and wnder wh they culd be because they think their children are still tddlers. Hw des ne deal with this? I have had cuntless families break dwn in tears in utpatient clinics r n wards, nt knwing what t say r hw t react as their lved ne mves further and further away frm them back int their distant past and they are left behind in the present. And hw, as the dctr r nurse caring fr these patients, des ne manage the anger and utbursts f distress that cmes with having n knwledge f yur life fr the past 10 r 20 years? The lies that dctrs, nurses, carers and families tell these patients are nt big, elabrate lies — they are brief reassurances intended t calm and allw the subject t be swiftly changed.
Clluding (串通) with them abut this false reality they find themselves flung int is nt heartless r unprfessinal — it is, when dne in the right way, kind and tender-hearted. That’s nt t say that lying t patients with dementia unnecessarily is right r defensible r that there are nt times when f curse they have the right t knw the truth. But what cmpassinate persn wuld put anther human being thrugh the unimaginable pain f learning, fr the first time again and again, repeatedly thrughut the day, that their belved ne has died. It wuld be an unthinkable cruelness.
Smetimes, surely, hnesty is simply nt the best plicy.
16．Write a title fr this article.
17．Why d peple with dementia feel upset, scared, and cnfused even when they are in their wn hmes surrunded by their family?
18．Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.

Is it pssible t imprve yur brain functin? The answer is “yes”.
Infrmatin in yur brain is cllected, stred and recalled by neural pathways. These pathways are respnsible fr yur abilities t slve prblems, remember familiar faces and tasks, withut paying a tn f effrts. Millins f these neural pathways begin develping frm the time when yu are grwing int a baby. T keep ur memry healthy, we need t create new pathways cntinually.
As we age, ur lifestyles ften change, stpping thse pathways frm being develped. Tw frequent changes are a decrease in exercise and less attentin t ur diet, which have a negative effect n ur brain and memry. Our brain requires cnsistent stimulatin, regardless f ur age, and lking fr ways t excite the prductin f new pathways is critical. Just like yur physical muscles need t be used in different ways t make them strnger, ur brain needs change t help challenge its abilities.
One simple way t stimulate the prductin f new pathways is trying smething new.
Challenge yur brain with puzzles, a new language r learning hw t play an instrument. Anything different and new can stimulate yur brain and memry. The best activities are the nes utside f yur cmfrt zne. They push yu as yu develp new neural pathways. The effrt invlved in learning and cmmitting t memry a new skill, with new terms and language, is a great way t exercise yur brain.
Anther way t stimulate the prductin f new pathways is ding exercise. When yu exercise yur bdy, yu are als wrking ut yur mind, because regular activity helps t imprve the chemicals in yur brain and t prtect brain cells.

Recent research suggests that if an argument gets reslved，the emtinal respnse tied t it is significantly reduced r almst cmpletely erased．Thus，it may be wrth bringing up issues with yur friends， family members，r classmates rather than hlding them back．
There is a difference between arguing and fighting．Arguing is that yu and yur ppnent present yur cncerns and discuss the feelings and issues related t thse cncerns．Yu can engage in an argument respectfully withut stirring up（激起） anger．Fighting，hwever，usually invlves persnal attacks，raising f vices， and strming ut．Discussing yur issues and reslving them instead f stuffing them dwn can imprve yur emtinal health．In a study，2.000 peple were asked t recrd their feelings and experiences fr eight days in a rw．When peple had an argument that they cnsidered reslved， they had half the reactivity （情绪反应） f thse wh avided an argument．Reactivity is an increase in negative emtins r a decrease in psitive emtins．In ther wrds，reslving an argument cuts yur negative feelings by half．One day later， peple wh had a reslved argument reprted n increase f negative emtins cmpared with thse wh avided an argument． This means that reslving an argument can feel like yu have reached a state f reslutin——and yu are less likely t be annyed．
Mrever，the lder yu are，the mre likely yu will cme t a reslutin after an argument．This may be because mre life experience usually leads t mre defined pririties．Yu are mre likely t distinguish between what matters and what des nt．

I’ve always been creative since I was a little girl. My childhd was filled with arts, crafts (手工) and music, and every day was an exciting adventure f creatin.
Smewhere alng the way, hwever, I lst tuch with my creative self. At 21, I landed a jb at a big insurance cmpany ut f my business degree. I wuld g t the ffice, sit at my desk and repeat the same wrk five days a week 9 t 5. The days were lng and tedius. Wrking this way fr ne year was painful enugh, let alne a lifetime. Befre lng I decided t make a change.
One thing I had develped an interest in was sewing, s I tk a sewing curse at a cmmunity cllege. It was nly a five-week curse but it awakened my interest and gt my cnfidence up.
As I dreamt bigger, I began lking int cllege curses fr Fashin Design and three mnths later I signed up fr a part-time design curse. I attended classes tw nights a week. Althugh exhausting, it gave me energy, enthusiasm and happiness.
As it became clearer that fashin was what I wanted t d full time, the reality f my day-t-day wrk at the insurance cmpany became harder. I felt bred. N energy, n mtivatin and zer fulfilment (满足感).
I knew I needed t make a bigger change. After struggling fr quite a while, I made a difficult decisin—leaving my jb and studying my design curse full time. Tw years later I gt my diplma.
The last few years have been exciting because I’ve been fllwing my heart t d what I lve. Tday I am living a creative life as the designer f my wn fashin brand.
Smetimes it’s hard t make a change, but I’m s glad I set the wheels f change in mtin with that very small first step because it has led me t where I am tday.

I remember the day shyness tk ver my life. I was 14 and having a French lessn The teacher tld us t recrd urselves speaking abut a hliday. Perfect！ I recrded myself with cnfidence.

I realised there was smething strange abut me.
My little vice has made me feel really shy. And my shyness has caused me t avid attending events, nt make imprtant cnnectins, and keep my ideas t myself.

Everyday interactins, like rdering a cffee, became increasingly awkward and uncmfrtable.

The wrld needs quieter peple, t. That day I chse t stp hiding and embrace my shyness. N mre feeling like I needed t change wh I am in rder t succeed. N mre living a small life.
Then I created the Shy and Mighty Sciety, a space fr shy peple like me t shine, and in the prcess f helping thers, I culd als push myself frward, bit by bit. Nw, I'm happy t tell peple I feel shy. I'm nt ashamed any mre. And I knw that I’m nt alne.
