especially (尤其)when the risk is to achieve a desired result. In that way, we become stronger and braver.
Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn"t have the fear
(恐惧) to move on. This is because of one or two failures in their lives. Please step out and don"t let the
past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward and move on!
In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides (提供) us with the
desire (渴望)to experiment and take chances.
Risk taking is a great benefit(好处)that allowed our ancestors(祖先) to become stronger and stronger
day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new territories(领土). This attitude has
become a part of our modern culture. Riding a roller coaster is a common risk taking activity that even the
average person seems to enjoy although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological
and biological (生物学上的) connection (联系)creates an interesting connection between what is unsafe
and what humans enjoy. Getting in a car each day is a risk.
Getting out of bed is a risk. There is such thing as perfect safety. We need to take risks so that we can
finish many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket; however, the things they achieve
are great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without doing that, they
could not make more money.
We need to take risks so that we can gain something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn
money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a risk. It is all part of the game.
It"s one of the most important parts of life.
B. they feel pleased with the present life.
C. they have experienced some failures before
D. they show little interest in the strange world outside
B. Fighting off enemies
C. Discovering new territories
D. Becoming stronger and stronger
B. The safest place has the greatest risk
C. People should take risks when they are young
D. We can always achieve our goals by taking risks
B. On risks taken by ancestors
C. Live our life to the fullest (充分地)
D. No risk, no gain.

higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was connected to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8,179 people was
reported in the British Medical Journal.
Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970, 366 of the participants said they were vegetarians
-although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.
Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of 106, compared with 101 for non-vegetarians; while female
vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99 for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores,
between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.
Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained
statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.
Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or
vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. However, these differences were not reflected in their annual
income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.
Lead researcher Catharine Gale said, "The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to
report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on
heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of
coronary heart disease in adult life.
But Dr Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said,"It is_like the chicken and egg. Do
people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more
aware of health issues?"
B. Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.
C. Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.
D. Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.
B. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians
C. female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians
D. vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians
B. The rate of getting heart disease is linked to your lifestyle.
C. The link between a high IQ and being a vegetarian is still uncertain.
D. The link between a healthy heart and diet remains to be proved.
B. Be a vegetarian, please!
C. Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk
D. A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarian
well. Practice is necessary in speaking English well.
Reading is also one of the things that will help you to speak English better. Read whenever you can and
whatever you like! Read papers and Internet sites that you like in English every day. Then, you will see that the
number of known words is increasing and you are able to speak with more skills. Then you will have made the
foundations (基础) and a good basis of English. It is not good to stop and get stuck there.
Going to England or an English-speaking country is a good choice, but many people cannot afford it. If
you cannot go, reading and speaking with your friends will also help you to practice your English. However, I
think it is very good to visit some English - speaking country to see and test your knowledge in everyday life.
You will understand the everyday usage of the language in its natural environment. There your level of English
is going to improve even faster. You ability to speak English is better. Nothing can match the excitement and
happiness when a native speaker tells you that your English is very good!
Finally, in order to speak English well, you must be persistent (坚持的) and do it every day. It is like
playing the piano. Pianists play it every day and so should you. Include English in your life and you will see
where it is going. Practice, practice! Read, write and improve your language skills and you are on you way
when you will be able to speak it with more and more confidence!

accent, perhaps modeled on the way a Hollywood star speaks? Or maybe you want to imitate (模仿) the
British accent of a BBC news reader?
Young British people find the US accent attractive while young US people like a British accent. Especially
when the person speaking is of the opposite sex! Let"s listen to what they have to say. Stephen Yang, 17, from
London, UK A US accent is cute, especially when a girl speaks it. Whether it"s Jessia Alba speaking or the
girl- next-door, the way US girls speak has a sweet tingle that is really sassy (时髦). A girl from Texas recently moved into our neighborhood. Her Texan twang (鼻音) had all the boys here on their knees within seconds of
meeting her.
To me, accents reflect the attitudes, characteristics and lifestyles of the people. Jennifer Sun, 16, from
New Jersey, US From watching English actors like Daniel Radcliffe, my friends and I have developed a soft
spot for British men. Some are attracted to the qualities of English males, while others admire their sense of
style.
Everyone, however, agrees that the most appealing aspect of an English man is his accent. For example,
many American girls watch Harry Potter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak. The
English accent seems almost like art.

B: Well, so far progress has been rather slow. I haven"t learned the keyboard yet, and I have problems
remembering all the orders of editing. I get really impatient because I want to master the means to
operate the computer as soon as possible.
A: Just remember that Rome wasn"t built in a day. Word processing (文字处理) can"t be such an easy
matter.
B: You"re right. Our teacher keeps telling us that it takes time to learn all the techniques (技巧) of word
processing and that we can"t master everything in one day.

through your work, you may say that you are"hot". That is true, the time of day when you feel most energetic
(full of energy) is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak(top). For some people the peak comes
during the forenoon (上午前). For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why
this is so.
Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what this energy cycle means and which
cycle each member of the family has.
You cannot change your cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better."Habits can help," Dr.
Cleiman believes. If your energy cycle is low in the morning but you have an important job early in the day,
rise before your usual hour, and then you will work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a lazy yawn (哈欠) and stretch. Sit on the
edge of bed before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome searching for clean clothes by laying
them out the night before.
