I just come back from Britain last week. I was luckily enough to be one of the student from different countries to visit the UK from Feb. 16 to 28. We paid a visit to many places, like London, Oxford or the Lake District. I learned much about British culture and history in London, where was my favorite. I also liked Oxford, in which I saw much more old buildings. The Lake District was beautiful, but it was pity that it rained heavily when they were there. The most excited thing for me in the Britain was that I made a lot of friends there.

Ways to Have an Amazing Day
I’m a big believer in the Law of the Harvest: 1 . If we plant the seeds of success every day, we will reap a successful harvest. If we delay the planting, we cannot expect to harvest. Here are a few tips for making sure you can answer the pop quiz of life confidently:
Keep Learning
A child has the opportunity to learn about 100 new things a day and they love the feeling of learning something new. That’s why a young child will ask their parents, ＂Why?＂ about a thousand times a week. They are learning and growing. It wouldn’t hurt us to look around throughout the day and ask, ＂Why did that happen? How does that work? What can I do about that?＂ 2
Be Kind
It has been said that you can measure a person by how they treat the people who can do nothing for them. One great way to get more out of your day is to fill it with people you know. 3 The best way to know more people is to take a moment to learn a little about them.
4
I have noticed for some time that a lot of the happiest and most satisfied people I know have one or more big ＂life goals＂ they are working towards. It may be to run a marathon, write a book, start a business, develop a product, or learn a new hobby or profession. It doesn’t really matter what it is as long as it is something big, something that inspires you, and something that will take a lot of time and hard work.
5 In fact, most people experience something like a ＂pop midterm＂. Those are the moments in life where you wake up and realize that you have wasted the last 5—10 years on cruise control. Some people lose a job and realize they haven’t taken the time to develop any skills that would help them find another one.
A. Find A Suitable Purpose
B. Be kind to everyone you meet.
C. Look for some ways to serve.
D. We harvest what we sow.
E. Is your life filled with meaningless activities?
F. A lifetime of learning leads to a love for life.
G. Life doesn’t always throw us too many pop quizzes.
D
A fish may not be the first creature that comes to mind when co-operation in the animal world is mentioned, but a new study has shown the caring behavior of one sea species. Scientists have found that pairs of rabbitfishes will help and support each other while feeding. While such behavior has been recorded for birds and mammals, it had formerly been thought to be impossible for fishes to exhibit the same features.
＂We found that rabbitfish pairs manage their caring activity quite firmly, thus providing safety for their partner that is looking for food,＂ says Dr. Simon Brandl. ＂In other words, one partner stays ‘on guard’ while the other feeds – these fishes just watch each others’ back,＂ Dr. Brandl says. ＂This behavior is so far unique among fishes and appears to be based on reciprocal cooperation between pair members.＂
Reciprocal cooperation, which requires an investment in a partner that is later reciprocated（报答）, is supposed to require complex cognitive and social skills — something that fishes had been considered not to have until now.
Dr. Brandl says the research shows clear support and presents interesting evidence for reciprocal support between the rabbitfish pairs.
＂There has been a long debate about whether reciprocal cooperation can exist in animals that lack the highly developed cognitive and social skills found in humans and a few species of birds and primates,＂ he said. ＂By showing that fishes — which are commonly considered to be cold, unsocial, and unintelligent — are able to have reciprocal cooperative systems, we provide evidence that cooperation may not be as special as earlier expected.＂
Professor Bellwood says that our opinion of fishes as cold creatures is slowly changing. ＂Our findings should further cause efforts to understand fishes as highly developed organisms with complex social behaviors. This may also require a change in how we study and treat fishes.＂
【题文1】 What does the first paragraph imply?
A. Rabbitfishes almost act like birds and mammals.
B. Fishes don’t belong to the animal world at all.
C. Fishes have the ability to feed each other.
D. The caring behavior is impossible for fishes.
【题文2】While one rabbitfish feeds, the other one _________.
A. is protecting its partner from any danger B. is carrying some food for its partner
C. is looking for more food for its partner D. is hiding behind the back of its partner
【题文3】 What did people use to think about fishes?
A. They have the same behaviors. B. They show no feelings for others.
C. They have high social skills. D. They support each other all the time.
【题文4】What can we infer from what Bellwood said？
A. We should change our way of eating fish.
B. The behaviors of fishes are difficult to learn.
C. More efforts are needed to understand fish.
D. Our study of social behaviors should be careful.
