A
Hospital nurses thought that the 73-year-old James Wathen had reached the end of his road. He stopped eating, he could hardly speak, and he was very weak. But those all changed one day when he told a nurse that he missed his dog. James hadn’t seen his one-eyed Chihuahua named Bubba after he was sent to the hospital weeks before.
So a wonderful team of nurses got together to find James’ companion, Bubba. They all held on the hope that this reunion would make their patient come alive again.
They successfully found Bubba, but ever since Bubba was separated from James, he also became sick. The dog didn’t know where James was, and believe it or not, they both stopped eating at about the same time. The team of nurses worked hard and scheduled a very special visitor for James that weekend.
In their 30-minute visit, Bubba’s eyes got real bright and he was like a different dog. James also became very bright, and he was a different man, too. “He has done a complete turnaround. He is speaking,he is sitting up, and he is eating. He wasn’t like the same guy.” a nurse said. “And the dog is eating and doing better now, too.”
From James and Bubba’s story we can see that our friendships are more important than we can ever imagine. Your smiling face can bring life to a friend that’s feeling down. So never forget that you are an important part of someone’s life.
Someone needs you today.

One Halloween a little boy and his friend went out for a fun night of trick-or-treating. At first everything was great. They were getting lots of candy as they went from house to house, but then they saw a house which they hadn’t been to before. It was a very spooky (阴森森的) house. Being young and brave, they decided to go up to the door and knock. After all, scary houses might have the best candy!
As they walked up the long winding path, they saw things that chilled (使恐惧) them to the bone! They heard sounds that frightened them. Maybe they should turn back. But the little boys, being very brave, just wanted to see what was in that house, so they went door, they imagined what might be inside. Maybe it would be a witch or maybe a ghost! After knocking several times, the door slowly creaked (嘎吱作响) open. To their
surprise, a monster (怪物) slowly came out to greet them. They were so scared that they couldn ’t move! What could they do? Then the little boy had an idea. He said, "Trick or treat!" Then the big scary monster, much to the kids’ surprise, reached over and brought out a huge bowl of the best candies they had never seen. Wow, the kids thought, this was great! It turned out that the house was decorated for Halloween, and the big scary monster was just wearing a costume, just like the kids. Since they were the only kids, and were brave enough to go to the scary house, they could take as much candy as they wanted. 28.The house was scary because_________.

Regularly staying late at the office significantly increases the risk of having a stroke or heart attack, researchers have found, working just an hour extra each day pushes up stroke risk by 10 per cent, according to a huge review of working patterns. And people who work an extra three hours a day--or 55 hours a week--are 33 per cent more likely to have a stroke, the scientists found.
The research, published in the Lancet medical journal, is based on health records of more than 500, 000 people across Europe, the US and Australia.
Scientists led by University College London warned that people who work longer hours tend to do less exercise, sit at a computer for hours at a time and drink more than people with a better work-life balance. Repeated stress may also be to blame for greater health problems, the scientists think.
They looked at the combined result of 17 previous studies, in which 529, 000 people were tracked over an average of seven years.
Experts stressed that the study had only found a link between hours worked and heart problems---it had not proved what had actually caused each death. But they warned people to take note of the findings.
Dr Tim Chico, consultant cardiologist at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, said “For many people, reducing their working hours would be difficult or impossible, and this study does not show that it would reduce the risk of stroke." Most of us could reduce the amount of time we spend sitting down, increase our physical activity and improve our diet while working and this might be more important the more time we spend at work. 32. Which areas are involved in the research?
A. The US, Australia and Russia. B. Japan, Britain and China. C. Europe, the US and Australia. D. China, Russia and Japan. 33. Which factor is NOT the cause of the higher risk of health problems? A. Excessive drinking. B.Lack of exercise C. Repeated stress. D. A healthy diet. 34. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The research was based on the tracking of over 500, 000 people. B. All the deaths are caused by working long hours.
C. People who work longer are less likely to suffer a stroke.
D. Reduced working hours will surely decrease the risk of stroke. 35. Where is this passage probably taken from?
A. A news report. B. A science magazine. C. A psychological journal. D. A hospital introduction.

Some Helpful Tips for a Happier You
I've been one of sad people before. It wasn't easy. But fortunately, I was able to get out of it in one piece. I want you to experience that too. Here are some simple tips that I found very effective and useful in finding my own kind of happiness. ·Exercise whenever you get the chance
It's more likely that you won't feel happy if you're having breathing problems
when you're climbing the stairs, right? Bum those fats away and live a healthier and much happier life! Your happiness is not going to be served on a silver platte(毫不费力地). You've got to work for it and, give it your all. ·Embrace the “real" you
I love the LEGO Movie because it emphasizes the importance of being happy with who you truly are. This is a very important thing to remember when you're in pursuit of happiness. You don't need to be the same with another person just to feel good.
You can be happy just by being you.
· Avoid expecting anything from anyone
As pessimistic as this claim might sound, learned that there are some people out there who just won't give you a hand when you really need them to. If a friend or a loved one is constantly disappointing you then stop hoping for them to get their act together. Instead, do the work and feel satisfied with what you've accomplished. ·40.
Stay too long and the four corners of your room will only tum you into a gloomy version of yourself. Go outside and feel the sun. Indeed, the Internet is a wonderland filled with useful information, crazy people and your everyday drama but there's more to
