I am Alice．My sister and I spent our last summer holidays with our uncle who is a geologist （地质学家） and loves to collect stones．
One day he bought us two backpacks and asked us to go to the mountain with him．We walked the whole day．Every now and then he put stones in our backpacks．To our surprise，he also took some stones out from them．But we thought he had just found better stones．
When we returned to the house，we were very tired．The backpacks were so heavy that we felt relief （轻松）when we took them off．Yet our uncle's backpack was half empty．
"Why did you give us so many stones？"we asked．
"I didn't．You did．"he said．"You didn't know it，but I gave you a little attitude（态度） test today．I listened to every word you said．Whenever you were complaining （抱怨），I added a stone to your backpacks．Whenever you talked about something with positive （积极的） thinking，I took out a stone．And now look at your backpacks．"
Our backpacks were full of stones．
"Your negative（ 消极的） thoughts are just like stones．You carry themin your mind just like those stones in your backpacks．The mote negative thoughts you have，the heavier your mind will be．"said our uncle．
With great love，our uncle taught us one of the most important lessons it life﹣﹣﹣the power of the attitude．

Mr. West wanted to buy a Christmas present for his wife, but he was always busy, .so he was never able to find time to go to the shops. At last, when it was the week before Christmas, he decided that he could not wait any more. He worked at an office, and usually had lunch in a restaurant. But one day he bought some cakes, ate them quickly and went to a big shop near his office during his lunchtime. The shop was full of women. At first he was waiting for his turn. But many women pushed selfishly past him. So after half an hour, he was still far from the salesmen and his lunch hour was coming to and end, so he decided to change his way of doing this and pushed to the front of the line. The women after him became angry and shouted at him, "Why can' t you behave(行为举止) like a gentleman?" "Ladies, "He answered them, "I have been behaving like a gentleman for the past half an hour, and it is no use, so now I am starting to behave like a lady."Mr. West finally found time to buy his wife a present before Christmas Day.
He didn't eat in the restaurant that noon because he liked eating cakes very much.
Mr. West was very polite and patient at first.
After half an hour it was his turn to buy present.

The junior high school graduates have to take a P.E. test in many places around China. The full marks are usually 30 points and it counts for much in the senior high school entrance exam. .因为对青少年而言，保持健康是非常重要的。
In Nanjing the test is held in April. Students have the test in their own schools. Each student is tested on three sports. They can choose long jump, basketball dribbling (运球) or volleyball. The pull-up is for boys and girls can choose the sit-up. Both boys and girls must skip（跳绳） in the test，.所以，学生们需要花大量的时间练习跳绳。They have fun skipping.
.Most students find the test easy and more than 90％of them can get full marks. That’s because they have been training for it during the three whole years. Students in Junior Three usually do lots of practice in P.E. classes.
.The training makes the test easier than it seems to be.
Students in Nanjing don’t need to run a lot for the test, but students in Beijing must do lots of running for the test. Running is one of the sports in test. So in P.E. classes, they usually run a lot. Sometimes they have to run 3,000 meters in one class. Some students are tired of running,.they don’t think running is the most necessary sport for teens. They should be allowed to choose their favorite sports, such as swimming or dancing. But most teachers and parents welcome the P.E. test. They say it helps students build up their health.
You might think that Western students are less shy when they meet something new or come to a new environment , but the truth is that pupils in the UK can be uncomfortable too. Being at university can make Britons feel nervous. Everyone finds it difficult to talk to the other gender(性别) at school.
However, there is a way of dealing with this shyness in Britain, and it is called “Freshers Week”. Freshers Week is designed to help people socialize（适应社会） and lose their inhibitions(拘谨). It is a one-week long party for first year students to welcome them before lectures and coursework begin.
I remember my first week at university—it was terrifying. I looked at the schedule for Freshers Week and was amazed at how much was planned. Every hall organizes its own events to help students become friends with the people they live with. My hall was called "Goldney Hall" and the week ahead included(包括) a talent show, a comedy night,and themed parties, including one for which we had to dress up as golfers.
The first event I went to was a school kid party at which everyone dressed up as if they were in school. This party encouraged me to talk to all the people on my floor. One boy, who lived opposite my room, was very handsome and I felt nervous speaking to him at first. But when we met at the party dressed in silly school outfits(装备), I remember feeling a lot more relaxed speaking to him.
My Freshers Week was busy, but I managed to forget how scared I was. There is one thing's for sure: Nothing helps you lose your inhibitiongs quite like dressing up as a golfer.How do Britons feel when they first go to college?

We have to agree that brushing teeth day after day can be a bit of pain. What’s even worse is trying to get much water to rinse(冲洗) out the toothpaste. Not only is it difficult, but also a waste of water. Of course, you could use a rinsing cup, but that has to be cleaned all the time. Now, a design company has finally invented an interesting invention called Rinser to help you do it.
A company in New York recently invented a toothbrush. It looks very much like a common one expcet one thing. That is when you pour water on the handle, it magically sprouts(涌向) straight into your mouth. It makes rinsing an easy thing and a lot of fun.
The brush is designed such that its handle(把手) has a hollowed(空的) out part. This part collects tap water and directs it to a tiny spout(喷口). All the users have to do, is aim the tap onto the spout and the toothbrush will offer you water as much as possible.
This kind of cool toothbrush won’t be used until November, 2012. Although it is convenient, it is a little expensive. Each one can cost $22 if you order it from the design company. Once it is sold in stores, the price will rise up to $34.99. If you are interested in this cool toothbrush, ask your mum or dad to get one for you!What can Rinser do according to the passage?
