Valentine"s Day with average spending expected to rise eight percent over last year to nearly $200.
And along with their expanding wallets,4 million Americans are expected to propose marriage or
receive a proposal on Feb 14.
"We"ve seen a consistent trend of consumers saying they will spend more,from holiday shopping to
2012 travel plans,and spending plans for Feb 14 are no exception,"said Sonali Chakravorti,vice president at American Express.

举一反三
[1]Although the beginning of thc school year may be an exciting time for many students, others may
be anxious about entering a new classroom. Fortunately,there are several steps parerlt can take to
help ease their children"s anxiety about the upcoming school year:
[2]Communicate to your child that you care. Children who know their parents care about their
experiences at school are more likely to seek guidance from their parents about challenging situations
they encounter at the beginning of school and throughout the year.
[3] Try not to overreact. Transirions may be difficult,and it is important to reassure children that the
first few days of the school year are often challenging but their new class room will soon become familiar.
[4] Be calm and positive. Children are often able to detect their parents" emotions,so it is helpful to
model calmness and positivity.
[5] Work with your child to develop coping strategies. Providing your child with a few strategies for
managing tricky situations [e. g. what to do if called a mean name by a peer(同龄人)] may help them
deal with the challenges. However,if problems petsist,it is important to communicate with school
personnel.
[6] . Although it is not always possible,volunteering at your child"s school allows you to observe
the environment firsthand and to meet school personnel. Your involvement in school also shows children
how family and school are connected.
[7]Helping your child experience a positive start to the school year is important as the transition back to
school affects children"s attitudes,confidence,and academic and social performance. If your child
continues to be anxious about school or faces major obstacles,consider contacting your child"s school.
Teachers and school counselors can offer additional support to your child as he or she transitions to life
in a new classroom.

of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed in doing jobs that
afford them little or no satisfaction.
Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can
earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their
expectation.
Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The
reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational (职业的) guidance in our educational institution. Nearly allfeel their way in the dark. Their chief concern when they lookfor a job is
to ask what salary is like. They never bother tothink whether they are suited for the job or, even more
important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more thanmerely providing yourself and your
dependants (受赡养者) with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment.It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.
In choosing a profession you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more sad than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only ruin your talents but also discourage your desire to succeed in life.
B. they are not well trained
C. it is difficult to get employed
D. they don"t know what they are interested in
B. many employees have no working experience
C. the young people only care about how much they can earn
D. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance
B. Your job must set a pattern of life.
C. Your job must offer you a high salary.
D. Your job must not ruin your talents.
saved Clive of India for his mission in history is a matter of record.Downhearted, ill, and depressed,

time.It refused to fire and he realised that suicide was not to be his lot.A subordinate (下属) took the

money into life after the NBA.
Yao said he did not only see his investment in the current CBA system in purely financial terms, but
also as a way to support the development of basketball in China and return the favour to Shanghai for
looking after him in his early days.
A few days before our most recent interview, Yao was asked to attend an award ceremony for top
athletes in China. He realised his superstar friends and fellow athletes were often forced to take lowpaying jobs because they had little formal education.
As boss of the Shanghai Sharks, Yao has invited both teachers and mentors to help his players better
manage their financial futures.
Another of Yao"s problems has been balancing the knowledge he has gained in the NBA with the
traditions of home.
As head of the Sharks he has to consider what"s best for his team, even if it means hurting some of his
closest friends. Like his first coach, Li Qiuping, who was in hospital when Yao told him he was going to
have to replace him with an American coach.
Navigating traditional Chinese society, he said, can be tricky at times. He sometimes wistfully thinks
back to his early days, when he just played basketball. Even so, he never shies away from the challenge.
When I think about these aspects of Yao"s life, I admire him as an example of someone who is
downtoearth and has not let fame go to his head.
As Yao will enter a new phase in his life, his 30s, fatherhood, returning to the NBA, and the next step
in his career as manager, he shows the courage to make a difference in the world.
Yang Lan One On One is shown on Shanghai Dragon TV, Sat.23:10 PM.
1. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Yao invests in CBA just because he wants to make money.
B. Yao pays his fellow athletes little money.
C. Yao has become a father of a boy.
D. Sometimes Yao has to hurt some friends for the profit of the whole team.
2. What is the meaning of the underlined word "tricky"?
A. helpful
B. difficult
C. easy
D. special
3. Yang Lan believes that Yao is a person who________.
A. is depressed
B. runs after fame
C. is dependable
D. loves the earth
4. This article may be extracted from________.
A. a TV program
B. a novel
