Around two weeks ago, I was invited to be a judge(裁判) at a college. All of the students had been given a piece of paper with a topic written on it. The first one to speak looked a little . “My dear friends and judges,” he said loudly, “this is an unfair ! I have been given the paper,” he continued, “to speak on the topic with just a few minutes’ preparation, those who come after me have more time to their speeches!” He then left the stage and went out of the hall.
I met him later by chance. “Who said life is ?” I asked him with a smile, and I asked him to walk with me to my car. “Have you seen the figures(数字) they show when a new car is into the market, saying how good it is?”
“Yes,” he nodded.
“But they put a after all these figures. They say all the figures are in ideal road conditions!”
“Yes,” he said again.
“Can you show me some ideal road conditions?” I asked him, and he smiled. “The car that sells well is the one will provide power and speed on the roads. That car is the winner.”
We had got to the car. “Don’t look for ideal competition conditions,” I said. “ the unfair and come out a winner!”
I looked back as I drove away and saw him smile and wave, and I knew he would do as I said.

At present, almost everyone has a mobile phone, but have you ever thought that cell phones be bad for your health? A study shows that heavy mobile phone use may cause hearing loss(失聪).
This study shows that people who use cell phones for about an hour a day have a time hearing some similar sounds, especially in their right ears. It is getting harder for to tell the difference between the sounds of“s”and“f”,and“t”and“z”.
Researchers studied 100 people who used cell phones and them with 50 people who did not. The study lasted for 12 months. What the researchers found was that cell phone users had more hearing than those who did not use cell phones.
Besides this, our ears have many little inside them. Too much noise will cause these hairs to get weak and die. When these hairs die, it affects our ability to listen.
However, cell phone users don’t care too much this study. One man said,“I’d be more worried about people who MP3 players. They put those earphones in their ears and listen to very music. I think that is more likely(更有可能的) to cause hearing loss than a cell phone.”

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work. He used to carry a nice to work with him so that he could change if his clothes got wrinkled (皱的). “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “ I need to feel comfortable.” More and more companies are their office workers to wear casual clothes (便装) to work. They thought the casual clothes could their work. In the early 1990s, the workers in American companies could wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday).This became known “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. Why have so many companies done like that? One reason is that it’s for a company to hire (雇佣) new workers if it has a casual dress style. “A lot of young people don’t want to for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you make a for their dressing.” Another reason is that people work when they are wearing comfortable clothes. Supporters of casual office wear also say that a casual dress style helps them money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said, “for the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”

Imagine this: your parents go away on business, but you have to stay at home alone(独自地). Would life be as easy as when your parents are ____? Would it be a perfect(完美的) holiday for you?
Zheng Chenyu says that she would _____ “Where can I find food? How can I cook it?” The 14-year-old girl says that she knows ____ about cooking.
“I can have tomato and egg soup(汤), but that’s all. I think many of my classmates are the same. We don’t know what to do, or how to ____ ourselves,” said Zheng. “And I may(可能) forget something important. I may probably ______ television and then burn(煮干) the soup.”
_____ Zheng believes that basic life skills(生活技能), such as cooking and washing clothes, are especially important, she doesn’t think teenagers get enough practice.
“As soon as I leave home, I’ll learn to cook. But now parents do almost ______ for us. We’re very lazy,” she said.
Most teenagers only have time for their ______. They don’t learn any life skills until they go to college(大学).
However, Sima Yige doesn’t think so.
“I think I’d be all right. I wouldn’t just eat sandwiches or fruit. I know how to cook some ______ dishes because my mum showed me,” the 13-year-old boy said.
