Gesture is the use ol such movements to express thought, emotion, etc. A gesture can be many things. Slamming a book shut shows anger and frustration. Opening a door lor someone shows kindness. Gestures go much beyond small actions.
My friend once told me a story in high school. One day he met a girl who was on the girls’ basketball team. He said hello, gave her a hard handshake and wished her good luck as she had a game later. He came to find out he saved that girl’s life. She had planned on committing suicide and by shaking her hand and saying good luck, he made her realize someone really cared about her. I’m not saying all actions are going to change someone else’s life that much, but it may make their day better.
Gestures can be negative too. In my senior year of high school， a guy on my football team was late and was walking down the field to practice. Everyone on the team knows our coach hates it when people are late and walk on the field. He was walking in as if he owned the place and had no care of what his teammates were thinking. His body language had never been good. The other players on the team had never liked him because of his body language.
Gestures can often say more than a person wants. One day I was mad at my parents for some pointless reason. All day I stayed downstairs. When one of them walked by, I would just stare at the TV or my phone and hope they wouldn’t try to start a conversation. When they tried to talk to me，I would give one-word answers. Sitting on the couch and watching TV by myself all day was not my intent but that was what my gestures told my parents.
One simple gesture can change a person’s thoughts, day or maybe even save their lives. If everyone made a nice gesture to someone else every day， our school， town， and world would become a better place. One single act of random kindness at a time or a kind gesture can change the world.

TO： ALL STUDENTS
FROM ： John Keating
SUBJECT ： Academic Honesty Policy
As we start a new semester at City College, I would like to remind everyone of our commitment to academic honesty.
Today, all students received a copy of our Academic Honesty Policy. I know everyone’s mailbox can get very full at this time of year. However, this document is very important. It explains the rules that we expect all members of our academic community to follow. You are responsible for reading and understanding these rules. If you have any questions about the policy, please make an appointment to speak with your academic advisor.
What is academic dishonesty?
Often students can be unsure what we mean by academic dishonesty. The Academic Honesty Policy explains the types of behavior that are not allowed. Here are two examples of academic dishonesty：
Cheating is breaking a rule to get a higher grade. Some examples of cheating include:
• Copying a classmate’s answers during an exam.
• Looking at notes during an exam.
• Submitting homework that you borrowed from another student.
• Taking an exam for another student.
Plagiarism is submitting the words or ideas of other people as your own work. Some examples of plagiarism include：
• Copying text from the Internet and submitting it as your own work.
• Copying text from a book, changing some of the words, and submitting it as your own work.
• Using another person’s ideas and not giving that person credit.
What happens if you are found guilty of academic dishonesty?
If you are accused of academic dishonesty, the Student Honor Office will investigate your case. If you are found guilty of breaking the rules, the college will take disciplinary action. In serious cases, students can receive a failing grade. They may also be asked to leave school for good. For less serious cases, students could have to revise their work and receive a lower grade.
Academic work can be difficult. At times, you may be tempted to use dishonesty to make the work easier. As you gather the knowledge and skills that will prepare you for your future career, remember this: It is our values that will help us achieve these goals. With every action, always remember to be honest, responsible and fair.
Good luck with the new semester.

Holidays are the main times to see both sides of my family.
At Thanksgiving, my mom, dad, brother and I go to my dad’s side of the family, my grandpa’s. When I was in 2nd grade, my grandma got in a car accident only miles from their house. At the time, I was in school. I was checked out and brought to church. Since then, holidays have never been the same. However, Thanksgiving is still good, although it would be better with grandma. At my grandpa’s house, my uncle, aunt, dad and mom all get the dishes prepared for the feast. When the final family members arrive, and the food is downstairs, we dig in, the little ones first.
Christmas is a little different. We have Christmas with my mom’s side at my uncle’s house, usually on Christmas Eve. We have dinner with homemade cupcakes for dessert, and relax until it is time to open presents. The kids get the most and we usually take a family photo. After everybody’s gifts have been opened, my family say goodbye and go home.
Easter has been a little different in the past few years. It started 3 years ago, when my family hosted my mom’s side of the family. We put our dishes we made for the day on the counter. We kids go downstairs and play ping-pong or football. We are called up when everything is ready and begin eating. The kids go to a table in the living room, and the adults use the kitchen table. That is usually the Easter day for us.
Each tradition gets better and better each year for some reason. I wonder what new traditions my family might come up with in the coming years.

A. He lost his grandma.
B. He dropped out of school.
C. He felt Thanksgiving was not as good as before.
D. He didn’t like going to his mum’s side of the family.
2.We can learn from the passage that on Christmas, .
A. a family photo is usually taken
B. presents are only given to the kids
C. the kids play ping-pong or football
D. the adults have dinner in the kitchen
3.How does the writer feel about future holidays with his family?

C. Worried but grateful. D. Tired but hopeful.
