When I was young, I was terribly poor in the Chinese. Be afraid of expressing myself was one of the reasons why I rarely did well in school. Once I failed in a mid-term exam. When I got the papers, I realized things could have been better if I listened to the teacher much more attentive. So I turned to my teacher for helps and he told me, “Where there is a will, there is a way. If you are devoted to learn Chinese, you’ll make it.” I couldn’t agree much. From then on, I began to work harder. Out of my expect, I made great progress soon. Today, Chinese is which my strength lies. And I’m grateful for my Chinese teacher.
Recently, an Internet slang word Foxi- or “Buddhist”- is becoming increasingly popular as it encourages people, especially 1. young to remain calm and peaceful and avoid conflicts as much as possible- in other words, to live like a Buddha.
The phrase 2. ( create) for the first time in 2014 in Japan to describe young men who no longer bother to start relationships with women or follow someone else’s life path. They prefer to stay in their own peaceful world without 3. (disturb) and care little about passion and success.
In this fast-changing and 4. (compete) world, many people are 5. heavy pressure. It’s only natural that people are seeking for a spiritual bay.
However, some would compare “foxi” with “demotivational(无动力的) culture”- a phrase 6. describes young people who feel aimless and powerless. They say that foxi actually reflects the reality that young people are losing their will to fight. They are pretending 7. (keep) a healthy and wise attitude towards 8. (fail) simply because they are incapable(无能力的) of succeeding.
All in all, there is one thing that “Buddhist Youngsters” should 9. (basic) keep in mind: You may want to keep a calm mindset, 10. you should never stop fighting for yourselves!

The search for one of life's greatest goals, happiness, is what brings almost 1,200 students to one of Yale University's most popular classes ever. 1. Psychology professor Laurie Santos teaches the class.
One in four Yale undergraduate students has registered to take it. It has the largest class registration size in Yale's 317-year history. 2. Santos says it is the hope that science can help students find peace among all the stresses and difficulties they face at college. "Students report being more depressed than they have ever been in history at college," she said.
Social science research has led to many new understandings of how people find happiness, Santos says. 3., she said of the students taking her happiness class.
Santos said feelings of happiness are created through several things. 4. She added that while many people may see money and possessions as goals in life, those things are not usually what make people most happy. School work for the happiness class, also known as Psyc157, includes showing more gratitude, performing acts of kindness and increasing social connections. Because of the popularity of the class, it has been made publicly available -- for free – on the website Coursera.
The class is already helping Yale students like senior Rebekah Siliezar. 5."What's most pressing on our minds is grades, it's the next job, it's a potential salary after graduation," said Siliezar. Now, she said tries more to "focus on the present moment and the people around me."
A. It is the third-oldest university in the United States.
B. The class is called "Psychology and the Good Life"
C. She describes her mindset before taking the class
D. Therefore, why do so many students want this class?
E. They really want to learn those insights in a science-driven way
F. Happy people even make time to talk to people who work at coffee shops.
G. Among them are socialization, exercise, meditation (冥想) and plenty of sleep.
As soon as a person dies, decomposition(分解) begins. And the first visitors arrive. “Within 5 to 15 minutes of death, flies or other insects begin to colonize the body.” says Rabi Musah, an organic chemist at the University at Albany.
She says different species turn up at different stages of decomposition. “So because of that, depending upon what entomological(昆虫学的) evidence you find, you can learn something about when the person died in terms of the timing of the death.”
Flies don't tend to stick around when disturbed by detectives. But they do leave behind eggs. The eggs are hard to tell apart by appearance alone, so specialists raise them until they hatch, a few weeks later—and they get a species ID and, with a little guesswork, a person's time of death. But Musah has come up with a more time-saving approach: chemical analysis of the eggs. She and her team investigated that method by first harvesting flies with pig-liver traps hidden throughout New York City. They collected the trapped flies and then chemically analyzed their eggs. And it turns out each species of fly egg has a unique chemical fingerprint—enough to tell the eggs apart without raising the eggs to maturity. The study is in the journal Analytical Chemistry.
Musah and her colleague Jennifer Rosati are now testing the method on a real case. “And once we do that we will be publishing some case studies to illustrate(阐明) that this is a method that can be used, and hopefully eventually it's something that will stand up in court, and something that could speed up detective work—or help deal with a cold case.”
1.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “colonize” in paragraph 1?
A. look for B. fight over C. carry away D. gather on
2.How can a specialist know a person’s time of death?
A. By researching the habitual nature of flies.
B. By relying on the entomological evidence.
C. By distinguishing the appearance of flies.
D. By discovering a new detective method.
3.What can we infer about Musah’s approach from the last paragraph?
A. Scientists have published studies about it.
B. It is bound to make every cold case solved.
C. It may help accelerate the detection of cases.
D. It will be published in Analytical Chemistry.
4.Where most probably can you see this article?
A. In a science fiction. B. In a newspaper.
C. In a medical paper. D. In a novel.
Relieving poverty has been one of our government’s top concerns for the past decades. Poverty(贫困) in remote areas in China is virtually a great obstacle for the Chinese to get common progress; thus, it is urgent for us to help the people there to shake off poverty the sooner the better. For this aim, the government has already sent technicians and experts to poverty-stricken areas to help boost local agricultural production and teach the locals new techniques. The Ministry of Labor has also trained many rural laborers through different programs. But all these are not enough. Several other ways have been proposed as follows.
First of all, the government should encourage a small part of the people in the remote areas to get wealthy ahead of others by equipping them with relevant funds and agricultural technology. These “better-offs” can not only set a good example but give confidence to the poorer in their efforts to get rid of poverty. When all the people get rich, the general level of living standard can be greatly improved. With their living standard improved, they can attach greater importance to environmental protection and are willing to input considerable amount of money to educate their children. Only in this way is a sustainable development guaranteed.
Secondly, we must call upon people in all walks of life throughout the country, especially those wealthy citizens in coastal areas to help those struggling below poverty line in poor remote regions out. We must realize that only after all Chinese people live a comfortable life can we be peacefully enjoying material prosperity in life. Helps can come in various forms----donating money to the poor family and books to school drop-outs, college graduates volunteering to work in the most needed regions, bringing knowledge to them, etc.
The last but not the least, the government should raise the rate of tax on the rich. This can shorten the gap between the poor and the rich as well as benefit the country’s revenues(财政收入) whose better part is in turn allocated to the poor remote areas.
Admittedly, it is never easy to cast off the shadow of poverty in the remote areas completely in the short run. But every one of us should go all out to help those in poverty, we are confident that our country will be more powerful and prosperous in the process of relieving poverty.
