Looking back I never thought at the time that we were poor. I always thought about trying to help those in the village that were poorer than we were. My mother， a cane（甘蔗）cutter， had all thirteen of us well educated. 1

We would go to the cane fields to assist her to cut and bundle（捆）canes during our growing up ages until we could provide for ourselves. 2 At times we would go early in the morning long before sunrise to assist leaving the fields at dusk.

Moya， my mother， would be paid for only the three tons per day even if we cut and loaded four tons or more. 3 So it could be 2x3 tons and we would be happy to get the extra money.

4 We even had our own 5 acre field. Soon enough I was employed as an apprentice（實习的）worker and followed my mothers commitment to hard work and eventually ended up as a Chief Engineer at the sugar factory and focused on doing my best at all times.

5 I was later given the opportunity（机会） to travel the world in the sugar industry as I was able to do good work that others required. Those years in the field were not child labor but the best learning opportunity I ever had in spite of the hard work. Thanks Moya ... I love you more for it.

A. My mother pulled through it all.

B. It was hard work under the burning sun.

C. There were times she was allowed twice work.

D. She sent all of us to school by her care and devotion.

E. It was a sugar cane worker that worked in the sugarcane fields.

F. I learned many lessons from the experience of helping my mother.

G. During the planting season we would assist so we all learned to grow canes.

Last summer， I went on a two-month trip to America to lead a childrens summer camp in Malibu， California， USA.

The first week of camp was used as training for the staff.

1 During this week we also did many bonding activities， the first of which was a six hour hike （徒步旅行） to the beach. As someone who usually avoids any form of exercise wherever possible， I was very nervous about doing such a long hike. 2 We arrived on the beach at about 5 oclock， and started to cook. This was probably my favourite part of the day， as the camp fires provided us with some warmth against the wind.

3 I had to sleep in the same tent as my campers， sit with them at meal times， take them to activities， and keep them entertained throughout the day.

The experience did have some low points. For example， we shared our tent with bats， racoons and mice and I was often woken up by animals at night. 4 I got to try many new things that I would never have got a chance to do like rock climbing and horse riding. 5 So I would strongly recommend Camp America to anyone who enjoys working with children， wants to try something different and is interested in travelling in America.

A. However， I am so glad I went.

B. The experience had positive aspects.

C. To my surprise， the hike was a lot easier than I expected.

D. Some of my friends went as far as New York after Camp America.

E. We learnt about the problems campers might have， such as bed wetting.

F. While I was working at camp， my job was to look after the campers all day.

G. Another highlight was watching my campers growing independent on camp.

Holidays

I remember the holidays we used to have as young children. Dad insisted that February always had the best weather， so we always missed the first two weeks of school to have our holiday at the beach. 1 apart from one or two days of rain. Our favorite sport is fishing.

2 . It was white canvas（帆布）， heavy and old. We also borrowed the camp stretchers（撑具）. We took the old dinner plates from home.

These were the days when petrol cost about 3 shillings and sixpence for a gallon. 3 . But for our holidays my sister and I were given one pound each an absolute fortune. Today it is equal to $2.00， probably not enough for one ice-cream.

We usually shared our holidays with several other families， the sort of lifelong friends that families have， so my sister and I had other playmates. 4 . These were carefree days of safety， when children could play on the beach and our parents knew no-one would harm us. The beach was very safe for swimming， but we knew we were not allowed to go swimming without a parent being there.

5 . Every evening he would be on the beach with his huge long rod（杆）. During the daytime he would take us rock climbing and oyster（牡蛎）gathering on the rocks， where rock oysters were plentiful.

By the end of the 15th century many things were changing in Europe. A new class of merchants came up. They wanted to buy and sell expensive and valuable products from Asia， like gold， jewels and silk. In those days， people had no refrigerators to preserve their food. 1 To make food taste better they used spices（调味品）， like pepper.

2 But in the 15th century the overland passageways were being controlled by the Turkish Empire， which made it even more difficult for European merchants to pass through. As a result， some European countries， like Spain and Portugal， decided to find out if there was a sea passageway to India.

At the end of the 15th century the Portuguese started to explore the west coast of Africa. 3 In 1487， the Portuguese explorer Bartholomeu Dias sailed around the southern part of the continent and got as far as the east coast of Africa， but a storm made him turn back. 4 The Portuguese named it the Cape of Good Hope because they were hopeful of finding a passageway to India. In 1497， Vasco Da Gama set out from Lisbon， sailed around the Cape of Good Hope and into the Indian Ocean. 5 He took some spices and gold back with him to prove that he had reached India.

A. They began collecting gold and silver.

B. They dried meat to make it last longer.

C. He reached the west coast of India the next year.

D. On his return voyage， he saw some land stretching out into the sea.

E. With the help of advanced ships， they started the Age of Exploration.

F. For centuries Europeans brought them on a land passageway from Asia.

G. They believed by sailing around it they would find a passageway to India.

Last year， my family and I moved from our home in Virginia to a snowy corner of the world in northwestern Pennsylvania.

1 Well， here what Id like to focus on is that it was even harder to say goodbye to the close friends in Virginia. Both my husband and I have stayed close with our friends from Virginia. But the way weve done that has been notably different.

2 The following are its main ideas. Men need to hang out together in person， preferably bonding over an activity， to stay connected. Thats where men watching sports or playing video games together comes from. 3 Women， on the other hand， can stay in touch via phone calls， emails — or as in my case — even texts.

“Its a very striking sex difference，”Robin Dunbar， the lead professor of the study，told The Guardian. But heres one similarity that Dunbar did find between men and women： the long-distance friendships that stayed strong were the ones in which friends made an effort to keep the connection alive.

4 For men， it meant making an effort to get together.

5 However， no matter what gender（性別）you are， the only way to keep those friendships going strong is to put forth the effort to stay close and connected.

A. It was hard to leave behind that Virginia weather.

B. Mens and womens friendships work differently.

C. For them， out-of-sight generally means out-of-mind.

D. For women， that meant reaching out with frequent phone calls.

E. We stay in touch with our friends after moving out of Virginia.

F. Men and women may maintain friendships in totally different ways.

G. A study has found men and women have different ways of staying connected.

“Have confidence！”is one of the most important pieces of advice youll receive in life. 1 You also know the advantages they get. Its something worth imitating（模仿）.

Generally， confidence is to know what youre good at and the value you provide. 2 Why does this definition matter？ The reason is that if you want to raise your confidence to a level that helps you， its important to know what youre aiming for. Blindly thinking positive wont necessarily help， and its possible to go too far. In some cases， the latter is referred to as the Dunning-Kruger effect（效应）. 3 Over-confident people will display（表现出）more confidence than their skill level deserves.

4 A study showed that giving men some perfume improved their confidence enough to be rated as visibly more attractive in photographs. Similarly， researchers at Webster University found something as simple as a confident， warm smile from a woman was enough to catch the attention of a potential date.

The importance of confidence in romantic（浪漫的） relationships doesnt end at the dating stage， either. A research showed that men in particular can have a tendency to feel worse about themselves when their partner has a higher level of success.

5 But rather that， in those situations， men must work harder on improving their own confidence level.

A. You know confidence is the key to success.

B. You know what confident people look like.

C. Of course， it doesnt mean that women should succeed less.

D. Namely， its when someone overestimates（高估）their own abilities.

E. Confidence can be more important than physical attractiveness.

F. Its a feeling that you are sure about your abilities， qualities or ideas.

G. Improving your own self-confidence in real world has many benefits.

Communication is important for strong family relationships. However， if you dont truly listen to others， it can be difficult to communicate. Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds. 1

2 When you listen to a family member， its important to try hard to be focused to make your family member feel heard and valued. If you feel your mind wandering， return your thoughts to the speakers words.

Focus on the speakers words and not what youll say next.When talking to someone， you often are focusing on what youre going to say next. If youre， for example， discussing a family problem or disagreement， you may be eager to share your thoughts. 3 Focus only on the speaker and their thoughts and opinions on the matter.

4 Its okay to accept a pause. A couple of seconds of silence in a conversation is not a bad thing， and allows the speaker a chance to fully express themselves. Instead of immediately making your response， pause for a moment after the speaker finishes talking. This will allow you to make sure theyre completely finished talking.

5 If theres anything the speaker said you did not understand， ask. When someone finishes talking， ask for further understanding if necessary. This will show you are truly listening to your family member and value their views.

A. Make sure to listen actively.

B. Ask questions for further understanding.

C. Do not let your mind wander to other things.

D. Its never a good idea to listen with judgment.

E. However， you cant solve another persons problems.

F. Make sure the speaker has finished talking before you talk.

G. However， do not think about how you feel or wish to respond.

One of the best things you can do for your body is exercise. Not everyone agrees on exactly how much people should exercise each day. 1 Others hold that doing heavy exercise every day such as running is good. One thing experts do agree on is that any kind of exercise is good for you.

2 Foods like vegetables and fruits should be eaten several times each day. It is also important to eat foods high in fiber such as beans， grains， fruit and vegetables. Fiber helps your body to digest the food you eat. Avoiding foods with a lot of sugar， salt and fat is a good idea. 3
