Mother Teresa once said, "Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person" However, a recent survey showed that 25% of Chinese never smiled or smiled less than five times a day. It also found that 2~6 of Chinese were willing to smile at strangers.
To make a change, forty students from Shanghai Normal University started a team of "Smiling Volunteers". Their first smiling task was-to smile at all the visitors in the Shanghai Film Art Centre and ask if they needed their help. Not all students found it easy to smile all the time. "When volunteers help other people, smiling is the best way to make them understand that volunteers are ready and sincere(诚挚的),”one team leader said.
A teacher in charge of(负责)the team thought the team's work was not all fun and games. "Most of our students will be teachers after they leave university. Smiling is necessary for good teachers. We hope they can learn how to smile at each other, she said. Everyone smiles in the same language. So it's not important whether you are a teacher or not. After all, sincere smiling and helping hearts are the most important. If today you don't start a day with a smile, it won't be too late to start practising for tomorrow. Remember "The world always looks brighter from behind a smile."

2.What will most of the students be after they leave Shanghai Normal University?

Frank was a very talkative little boy. He never saw a new thing without asking a great many questions about it.
His mother was very patient and kind. When it was proper to answer his questions, she would do so. Sometimes she would say, “You are not old enough to understand that, my son. When you are ten years old, you may ask me about it, and I will tell you.” When his mother said this, Frank never bother(烦扰)her any more. He knew she always liked to answer him when he asked proper questions.
The first time Frank saw an hourglass, he was very much interested, but he did not know what it was. His mother said, “An hourglass is made in the shape of the figure 8. The sand is put in at one end and runs through a small hole in the middle. As much sand is put into the glass as will run through in an hour.”
Frank watched the little stream of sand. He was impatient, because it would not run faster. “Let me shake it, mother,” said he, “it is lazy, and will never get through.”
“Oh, yes, it will, my son,” said his mother, “The sand moves by little and little, but it moves all the time. When you look at the hands of the clock, you think they go very slowly, and so they do, but they never stop. While you are at play, the sand is running, grain by grain(一粒粒). The hands of the clock are moving, second by second. At night, the sand in the hourglass has run through twelve times. The hour hand of the clock has moved all around its great face. This because they keep at work every minute. They do not stop to think how much they have to do, and how long it will take them to do it.”
Now, Frank’s mother wanted him to learn a little hymn(赞美诗), but he said, “Mother, I can never learn it.”
His mother said, “Study all the time. Never stop to ask how long it will take to learn it. You will be able to say it very soon.”
Frank followed his mother’s advice. He studied line after line, very busily; and in one hour and a half he knew the hymn perfectly.

Sometimes our body does things we don't ask it to do. Sneezing(打喷嚏),coughing, blinking(眨眼睛)and even yawning(打哈欠)are examples of involuntary movements or reflex actions(反射动作). What makes our body do these things?
These involuntary actions are a response(反应)to a stimulus(刺激). When we do these things, our body is trying to protect itself. If an irritant(刺激物)such as pollen(花粉)from plants gets into our nose or nasal passages(鼻腔通道),our body sneezes to get it out. If we breathe in dust, our body coughs to remove it from our lungs(肺)or windpipe. We blink in order to keep our eyes clean and moist(湿润)and to prevent dust and other things from staying on them. A yawn is our body's way of making us put more oxygen into our bloodstream.
. These involuntary movements happen because our brain is giving out signals. There is a system of nerves(神经)called the central nervous system, that covers our entire body: from the brain, down the spinal cord(脊髓)inside our spinal column (the bones that do down our back,to the tips of our fingers and toes. When our body parts sense certain things, like a mosquito蚊子)bite, a message is sent to our brain. Then the brain sends a message back to itch(发痒).
Without these reflex actions, we would not live very long.
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A.We would not live long without movements. B.Why our body does involuntary movements.
C.We sneeze to get out an irritant such as pollen. D.How our brain is giving out signals to our nerves.
2.If dust comes into our eyes, we will________ to protect our body.
A.cough B.sneeze C.blink D.yawn
3.Which of the following sentences can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3?
A.What tells our body to take care of us the way it does?
B.Don't you think it is interesting for our body to do so?
C.What can we do when involuntary movements happen?
D.How can we avoid stimulus to protect our own body?
Most people know yoga as a kind of exercise. To practise yoga, you put your body into different positions. The correct breathing is also important. However, yoga is really about more than just exercise. Yoga cannot just help people to be healthier but also help connect people to each other and to nature.
The history of yoga goes back at least 5,000 years. It was first developed in Northern India. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, yoga was introduced to the Western world. By the 1960s yoga had become a very popular form of exercise in the United States and Europe.
Yoga is good for the mind and body. Regular practice of yoga helps people to improve their balance and stamina(耐力). Although you won't really get out of breath, like you might when playing football or running, it does help to keep your heart healthy and you can lose weight. It also improves concentration(注意力)and helps people to sleep better, so it's great for anyone who is under pressure at work or in their studies.
There are lots of different types of yoga, so you can choose what is best for you. Hatha Yoga is often good for beginners, because you hold each position for a few breaths. In Vinyasa Yoga you change position much more quickly and you might get out of breath. It's quite challenging if you haven't done much yoga before. Bikram Yoga is sometimes called `hot yoga', because the room must be heated to around 40 degrees. Or what about `Aeroyoga', where you do yoga while you are hanging from the ceiling? It's supposed to be very good for your back.
Whatever kind of yoga you choose, there are surely some health benefits(好处),and you should have fun too.
1.Which of the following is true about yoga?
A.The breathing in yoga is important if you often get out of breath.
B.People in the West were interested in yoga soon after it appeared.
C.You can choose any kind of yoga to practice only if you want to.
D.Yoga can make people feel relaxed and bring people much closer.
2.According to the passage, which form of yoga might be very difficult for a beginner?
A.Hatha. B.Vinyasa. C.Bikram. D.Aeroyoga.

A.When and where did yoga come out? B.What are the advantages of yoga?
C.When is a good time to practice yoga? D.What type of yoga can you choose?
