I was in New York and rode with a friend in a taxi. When we got out, my friend said to the driver, “Thank you. You did a good job of driving.”

The driver was surprised for a second.

“I admire the way you keep cool in h 92 traffic,” my friend said. “Thank you,” the driver said and drove off.

“What was that all about?” I asked.

“I am trying to bring l 93 back to New York,” he said. “I believe it can save the city.”

“How can one man save New York?”

“It’s not one man. S 94 the driver has 20 passengers. He’s going to be nice to those 20 people because someone was nice to him. Those people in turn will be kinder to their employees(雇员), or shopkeepers, or waiters, or their own families. At last the goodwill could s 95 to at least 1,000 people. If I can make three people happy, then finally I can change the attitudes (态度) of 3,000 people.”

“It sounds good,” I said, “but I’m not sure whether it would work in practice.”

“Nothing is lost if it doesn’t. It didn’t take a 96 of my time or money to tell that man he was doing a good job. I have made a study of this. The thing that seems to be lacking (缺乏) for the postal employees is that no one tells the people who wor k for the post office what a good job they’re doing,” he said.

“B 97 they’re not doing a good job,” I said.

“They’re not doing a good job because they feel nobody cares whether they do a good job or not. Why not say a kind word to them? When those people hear my words, they will feel better. The city will benefit from their h 98 . If more people join me, the city will become a better place,” he said.

By using simple words like “please” and “ thank you”, you show others that you have respect for them, but it is also a way of asking them to show your respect in return. Being polite is also a way of telling others that you have strength and confidence in yourself.

I agree with another saying: “The top (87) at World Expo 2010 Shanghai China will be the manners of th e Chinese people.” The World Expo will last longer than the Olympic Games and thus test our manners to a greater degree. While enjoying the fruits of this extraordinary event, we also face an extraordinary challenge. Having good manners does not happen (88) . If you learn to have good manners early in your life, those good habits will stay with you forever. Practice good manners whenever you can. You will not be (89) by holding a door open for a stranger to pass. You can have these good habits by showing good manners to (90) you meet whether they are family members, friends or strangers.

Start with simple things like saying “please” and “thank you”. Just like a small child learning to speak, you will watch as these powerful words (91) in strength and habit.

Test scores make you either happy or sad and your parents pay high attention to your test results. You spend days filling in blanks, trying to make the best a (92) to question after question. Maybe you tried your hardest or maybe you n (93) tried! What you need to remember is that a test is a picture of your ability from just one day. It consists of some pieces including your health, your personality, your interests, and your motivation. You need to look at all the pieces to get a clear i (94) of your progress. So whether your scores are higher than you thought, or l (95) than you had hoped, try not to think of them as what you will be at last. It probably c (96) you why your scores have become the focus of your life. The purpose of a test is to check how much you have learned about a subject. It not only helps make your newly acquired knowledge forever, but also enables you to find out what needs to spend more time improving. If you’re p (97) with the results, encourage yourself to work for a further aim. If disappointment has overcome you, ask your teacher and your parents to help you set a reasonable goal for improvement. Most exams are about to test your skill in certain subject areas such as math, language and arts. Some compare your skills to other students’ skills from across the country, o (98) just test whether or not you have mastered a specific ski ll. These scores can be very puzzling…even to adults. You should speak to both your teacher and your parents to find out what they mean in your educational journey. It is important to take a correct attitude towards test scores.

Once there was a grasshopper(蚱蜢), who was the best hopper(跳跃者)in the world. She taught other

grasshoppers how to hop. Soon all grasshoppers were hopping well, 85 she felt very proud.

Then one day an eagle showed up. She immediately 86 to teach the eagle how to hop, as she was sure that hopping was the key to happiness, but every time she advised the eagle to hop, he just said, “There is no need. You are 87 with hopping, but I can fly.”

“Stop this silly talking of flying!” screamed the grasshopper. “Flyi ng is 88 in your imagination.”

The next day, some of the grasshoppers went to talk to the eagle. “How is it that you don’t know how to hop, yet you still talk of flying? It 89 our teacher’s orders. ”

“Hopping is useful, but when you can fly, it is no longer 90 .” said the eagle.

“Tell us more,” said the grasshoppers.

The eagle began telling them what the world beyond（超过）the grass fields was like. It was a world that included mountains, rivers and oceans.

Then the eagle took one brave grasshopper in his powerful talon(鹰爪) to the sky. The grasshopper could see the mountains, rivers and oceans that the eagle had 91 .

After the eagle landed, he saw a spark(闪光)in the grasshopper’s eyes. The grasshopper told others what he had seen in the sky. Therefore, the grasshoppers dreamt of flying in the sky.

Much meaning can be carried clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

Do you have such kind of e 92 ? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he f 93 that he is being looked at, he may feel uncomfortable. The same is in the daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at y 94 up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward the person who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be r 95 . But sometimes things are different. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds, it may mean that he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he loves her. W 96 two people are in a conversation, the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what he or she is speaking. Lovers will enjoy looking at each other or being looked at for a long time, to show something that w 97 cannot express.

Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the relationship b 98 two people and the place where you stay.

The Neighborhood Fitness Program

Shanghai, a beautiful city during the day, becomes even more wonderful at night.

At the end of the day, both the older part of the city around the Bund and the more m 92 buildings in Pudong are full of colorful bright lights. The buildings, both new and old, look c 93 different and very exciting.

If you look across the Huangpu River, you can see the brilliant Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the Jinmao Tower. Take a boat a 94 the river and you can see the amazing nightlife on the Bund. There are more than 30 tour boats, including ancient dragon boats in the Ming and Qing styles and boats made in the Shikumen style.

Most of the shops close at 10 pm but at that time, teahouses are still open. In fact, some of them are open 24 hours a day. Karaoke bars and coffee houses are also popular nightlife places where you can meet friends and make new o 96 .

If you are in Shanghai for the first time, make sure you also visit Xingtiandi, a very popular a 97 where you can see buildings in Western and Chinese style side by side.

Anne White studied at Colorado University. She first had a problem taking tests when she began college. “I was always well prepared for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks 85 a test. Y et I would go in to take the test, only to find I could not answer the questions correctly. I was unable to think properly because of nervousness and fear. I couldn’t think of the answer. My low grades on the test did not show what I know to the teacher.” Another student had the same 86 . He said, “My first chemistry test was very difficult. Then, on the second test, I sat

down to take it, and I was so nervous that I was 87 . My hands were moving up and down so quickly that it was hard to hold my pencil. I knew the material and I knew the answers. Yet I couldn’t write them down.”

These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety (焦虑). Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it 88 does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of nervousness. Although poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades. At present, test anxiety has been known as a real problem, not just an excuse or false explanation of lazy students.

Experts are trying to help those students by teaching them how to manage test anxiety. At some university, students take tests to measure (测量) their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety is 89 , the students can take short courses to help them deal with their nervousness. These courses teach students how to 90 their bodies. Students are trained to become calm. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work 91 . Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.

Body language is used by people for sending messages to one another. It is very 85 because it can help you make yourself easily understood.

Small moments sometimes last a very long time. And a few words — though they mean little at the time to the people who say them — can have great power.

I recently heard a s 92 from Malcolm Davis, who has been a professional writer for the last twenty-four years, mostly in advertising.

As a boy, Davis was t 93 shy and helpless. He had f 94 friends and no self-confidence. Then one day, his high-school English teacher, Ruth White, asked the class to write their own chapter that would f 95 the last chapter of the novel since they had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Davis wrote his chapter and turned it in. Today he cannot recall a 96 special about the chapter he wrote, or what grade Mrs. White gave him. However, what he does remember is the four words in the paper: “This is good writing.” Four words. They c 97 his life.

“Until I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or what I was or what I was going to be,” he said, “After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always dreamed of doing but never believed I could do.”

Over the r 98 of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to Mrs. White for instruction. “She was encouraging, helping and honest. She was just what I needed,” Davis said.

When Wang Luodan first went to Secondary Normal School （师范中专）, she began to show her ability in art and literature(文学). She was the o 93 one in her school who could play the drums, besides playing the piano and dancing well. “I felt that I was very cool at that time.” Wang said.
