Four years ago, l, a 17-year-old girl, arrived at Wellesley College. I cried when my parents dropped me off in my dormitory (宿舍). I thought to myself, "This is what loneliness feels like." Just at that time, I had forgotten how excited I was for college.
Four years has nearly passed, I am now 21 years old, just two months from graduating from college. In four years, I have experienced a lot, happy time, sad moment and ordinary days. How grateful I am for the ones who have shown me the way and taught me to be strong when I felt hopeless. How lucky I am to know that I have a home to return to.
Tomorrow, my mother turns 50. It is because of my mother that l've learned to love myself, to respect myself, and above all, to be a good person. Because of her, I have known that giving up is not and will not ever be a choice.
My mother and I have sometimes clashed head(冲突). She is the strongest person I know, the person who I disagree most. She has told me that I am the only person that is responsible for my life. But today I have to tell her that she has been wrong.
She doesn't realize that there is another person who will never leave me. There's another person who will always there for me and who will love me forever. That person is her. She is the first person I will call when I am sad, in trouble, or feeling blue. She will never lie to me to hurt my feelings.
I have come so far these fast four years. I still have a long life to live. A life that I hope will be full of adventure, success, and happiness. Mom, you've helped me so far. You are my hero. One day I hope to be like you.
Eat like a king in the morning, a prince at noon, and a peasant at night. This saying is all about the importance of breakfast. And now scientists can tell us just why it's so important. According to a study carried out at Imperial College London, UK, skipping the first meal of the day not only means you eat mor eat lunch, but also that your brain wants to find more unhealthy foods.
The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the orbitofrontal cortex（眶额皮层），which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat. It is used for identifying the taste of food, especially when skipping breakfast. It is more likely to target high-calorie foods when you're on an empty stomach.
Scientists did an experiment on this. Dr Tony Goldstone from Imperial College London, scanned (Ff#) the brains of 21 men and women, around the age of 25. On the first day, these people skipped breakfast before the scans. On the second day, they had cereal（谷物）, bread and jam as breakfast. After the scan on both days, they had their lunch.
When the volunteers had skipped breakfast, they ate around 20 percent more at lunch, compared with days when they had eaten breakfast. Their brain scans also showed the orbitofrontal cortex was especially responsive to high-calorie foods. "We believe that bit identifies the value of foods - how pleasant, how delicious something is, " Goldstone told The Guardian.
⑴The volunteers skipped breakfast.
⑵The volunteers had lunch.
⑶The volunteers had a brain scan.
The holiday is the season to be joyful. However, many people feel sad or worried during or after holidays. When such feeling is connected only with holidays and doesn't happen at other times of the year, it's often called holiday blues（忧郁）.
____This can be a result of money problems, extra activities, and stress around holidays. People can also have holiday blues for terrible relationships with family and being alone during the holidays. Much traffic jam around holidays can cause holiday blues, too.
Holiday blues can have you feeling like hiding instead of celebrating. They can also lead thinking patters（方式） that aren't helpful. For example, if you angrily shout at your kids, then you may think you're the worst mom. If you can't make cookies this year, you will think you're just not as nice as you used to be. If you make efforts to make money, you may feel you'll never be rich. So we shouldn't think little of holiday blues.
There are some very simple and useful ways to help people to deal with holiday blues. Start new traditions to your family. Don't be too hard on yourself. Take some time to volunteer. Take some time to take a bike ride, a relaxing walk, etc. Don't eat too much food — overeating can make your body sick and uncomfortable.
But if you have unshakable sadness or terribly hate eating, you may need to see a doctor. Let him check your degree of sadness or worries. Talking to someone may also help you feel better. But at other times you require medical treatment. Thus, you can shake the blues off and get back to the things about your life you do enjoy.

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Cooking Today. I'm Jack, and today we're going to make some crepes (薄煎饼). Seriously, friends, you will love these crepes.
Just put them on your kitchen table like I'm doing here. You'll need some sugar, too, because that's what makes the crepes sweet.
You want one cup of flour (Et) and one cup of milk. And, of course, you want an egg. As for the sugar, you need just a little. Too much sugar will make your crepes taste bad.
Pour them nicely and slowly. Then stir (搅) them all together with a spoon. Yeah, that's it. Stir them until you get a nice batter（面糊）.
You don't need a lot of butter. Just put a little bit in the pan. All right, now we're ready. All you do is to pour the batter on the pan. After about three minutes, you just get the crepes, and you're ready to eat!
A. Now you're ready to cook: B. You can buy things in the supermarket. C. After that, put the pan on the fire and put some butter on it. D. Next; pour all the things together in a big bowl. E. At first, you need to prepare some flour, some milk, and an egg. |
What do you think will happen if someone adds too much sugar to the crepe batter? (no more than 20 words)
Do you know how words have an influence on others? Amy Beth Gardner chose a(n) 1 way to teach her daughter Breonna about this. She wrote on Facebook, "My daughter will 2 middle school tomorrow. We've prepared new uniforms, a new schoolbag and some other things for her. But tonight, just before bed, we did another pre-middle school3 that is far more important than others.
Then she described 4 she took a tube of toothpaste and asked her daughter to empty the toothpaste onto a plate. After she did so, Amy Beth asked her to pull the toothpaste 5 into the tube. It was really a crazy request, so Breonna 6 , "But I can't! It won't be like what it was before."
Amy Beth then gave (an) important 7 to her child. "You will remember this toothpaste for the rest of your life. Your words have the power of life 8 death. As you go into middle school, you are going to see how much 9 your words carry. You are going to have the chance to use your words to hurt, wound and put down others. You are also going to have the chance to use Your words to help, encourage and 10 others."
Amy Beth knows that 11 fails sometimes. But it is her duty to 12 her daughter to pay attention. Just like this toothpaste, once the words leave your13 ，you can't take them back.
"Use your words carefully, Breonna. When others are misusing (滥用) their words, 14 your words. Please be aware of （意到） your gentleness and don't 15 to choose kindness."
Some people say it is not easy for a middle-aged person to learn a foreign language. But is it (real) true?
Several years ago, I worked for English newspaper which was doing such a research. They asked me to learn a new language for one month. Then I had to go to the country and do some "tests" (see) if I could "survive(挺过来)" in different situations.
I chose Spanish and one-month course at a language school and (find)some Spanish words are very similar to English ones. example,"hola" isn't very different from "hello". Of course, there are other things which are more difficult. In Spanish you have to change the verbs for each person. But my (big) problem of all was the pronunciation. I found very difficult to pronounce some letters in Spanish especially "r" and "j". So I had to download (sentence) onto my phone and I listened and practiced them again ang again.
A month later I went to Spain. A Spanish teacher (call) Paula came and began the test. "Will I survive?" I wasn't sure enough but I wished I would!
