Carolina,from our Florida home in the morning to
say good

bye to
my mom.
The rest of that
awful week,I joined my brother and father sitting
by my mother’s side in the hospital room.I
held her hand and talked to her.I told
her that we still needed her.I told her that it
wasn’t time to leave yet.I told her
how

A

So why are we so afraid to hope
sometimes?Maybe it’s because over the years,life’s
disappointments can
turn us to
disillusionment(
理想破灭
).How
many times have you heard someone say, “Hope for
the best, expect
the worst?”That’s not
really hope at all.
Hope is
being able to look at our world with all of the
joy and wonder of a child.

Doctors were
pessimistic about my mother’s stroke while my
little daughter, Amelia, full of hope. I passed
on Amelia’s hope when our family
gathered to bid farewell to her in hospital.
Incredibly, she recovered and came
back
home
after
a
period
of
restoration.
Everyone
was
astonished

Fun Offices Make Workers Happier?
In
order
to
make
their
employees
happier,companies
around
the
world
have
been
busy
installing
play
equipment
in
the
football,computer
games
and
action
figures
have
become
common
in
some
workplaces.

Despite all
this effort,unfortunately,work still
makes people ing to a study by the
London
School of
Economics,the place where people feel most
miserable is work.
To
proceed
with
an
emphasis
on
being
happy,however,other
emotions
are
crowded
out.
Anger,sadness,anxiety and uncertainty
all become a a ban on negative emotions can be
emotionally
bad for employees.A number
of studies have shown that being able to express a
range of positive and negative
emotions
is important,particularly when people are dealing
with difficult experiences.
Besides,being constantly on the lookout
for happiness may actually drive happiness away
from ists
have found that when we talk
about how important happiness is,we become less
likely to find it,even when we
have
experiences that usually make us happy.
Wanting
to
be
happy
at
work
is
fair
enough,but
being
forced
to
be
happy
at
work
can
be
companies
were
genuinely
interested
in
making
their
employees
happy,they
would
perhaps
look at
some
more
“down
-to-
earth”
interventions
(
务实的干预
).A simple step would
be to stop interrupting workers with all sorts of
pointless demands such as long emails
and unnecessary forms.A study by Harvard Business
School found workers
felt most
satisfied on days when they were able to focus on
a piece of work and make meaningful progress on
it.
In short,if companies really want
to make their employees happier,they should think
long and hard before
pointless
restructuring.
keys
A
study
shows
work
still
upsets
people
though
companies
are
trying
to
make
workplaces
g
employees to be happy is useless
because being unable to express negative feelings
is always harmful and always
looking
for happiness deliberately will make people less
,the effective way to make employees happy
is not to interrupt employees with
meaningless tasks.(58words)

the r important
discovery off the US coast in 1996 is

of ships,including,in 2007,a Spanish
sailing ship containing 500,000 silver ship,which

How Safe Is Your Bed?
Do you consider your bed a safe place
of rest and calm?Do you sink into a
mattress
(
床垫
) after a hard day’s
work and feel tension and stress drain
away as you rest your weary head on a soft
pillow?Well,you might not feel
so
relaxed if you knew that tiny pests were hiding
there! It seems that beds may not be such a good
place for our
health and happiness
----
they could actually be
making us ill!
Recent
studies
have
shown
that
bacteria,fungi
and
dust
mites
(
螨虫

smaller
than
the
diameter
of
a
hair,live in our we move around in our
sleep,we disturb them and they are bounced up into
the air
--
which we then
breathe in as we ing to the American Lung
Association,four out of five households
in
the
United
States
now
have
high
levels
of
dust
mites,although
it’s
not
the
mites
themselves
that
cause
the
problems,but
their
droppings.
These
are
“highly
allergenic
(
致敏的
)” according
to Dr
William
Berger,a
fellow
with
the
American
Academy
of
Allergy,Asthma
and
Immunology.
“Even
if
you
aren’t
allergic
---
they
can
still
irritate you,the way pepper would if it
blew into your nose and eyes.”
Brendan Boor,Assistant Professor of
Civil Engineering, who carries out bed
research,also found that bed dust
in
the
air
leads
to
allergies
--
causing
watery
eyes,sneezing,coughs
and
asthma.
He
has
recommended
ways
to
limit our
exposure to these boring allergens:
Firstly,he
suggests
vacuuming
your
mattress
regularly
–
weekly,or
even
also
recommends
doing
away
with
carpets
and
washing
allergen
-
proof
bed
covers,he
says,
can
reduce
the
risk
of
getting
allergies. In
addition,washing bedding and pillows frequently
can help,as can a portable air cleaner placed near
the
bed.
If you
do as Brendan Boor suggests,you will breathe in
cleaner air as you sleep … or will you? Is it
really
safe for you to go back in your
bed?
keys
Studies show
that beds aren’t a good place for your
well
-
being and they can even
make you sick. Mites,
bacteria and
other tiny living things in your beds can cause
illness or irritate you. Therefore, experts
suggest that
cleaning

washing

Moving My Curfew
For
some
time
now,I
have
had
an
8:00
p.m.
curfew
---
the
time
by
which
I
have
to
be
at
home,even
on
I was younger,I didn’t
really now I have reached an age when this curfew
is no
longer several reasons,it is
clearly time to move my curfew to 10:00 p.m. on
weekends.
First of all.I ’m soon going to be an
adult,like all teenagers,I need practice handling
the greater freedom
that goes along
with being an teenagers don’t get practice
handling freedom,they often make many
serious example,some teenagers go away
to college and suddenly they don’t know how to
handle
it,and they get into trouble.I
believe it is better to increase freedom may the
teenager learners how

to
handle
freedom
responsibly.I
believe
I
could
handle
a
later
curfew
without
making
serious
mistakes
in
judgment.
A
later
curfew
is
also
important

me

I’m
an

know,I
am
often
on

committee
in charge of running
extra

curricular e of my
present curfew,I have to finish school
activities over an hour before they are
students must take over for me when I leave.A
10:00 curfew
would allow me to stay
until the end of school functions and give me
enough time to get home without rushing
.
Finally,I am a teenager
who can be trusted to handle a 10:00 p.m curfew.I
know that many teenagers cannot
handle
much
r,I
am
clearly
not
that
kind
of
teenager.
I
have
proven
myself
to
be
a
very
responsible example,I have never been
in serious trouble,either at school or in the
company.I also hold
a
part

time job and still
manage to maintain a “B” average in other words,I
am a person who uses my
time
wisely,meets responsibilities an stays out of
trouble .

Though still
a teenager, the writer demands to come home later,
especially at weekends for the following
reasons. More time is needed greater
freedom to achieve smooth transition to an adult.
Besides, the writer can
perform various
duties at school without hurrying. Moreover,
unlike others, he is responsible and can assign
time
wisely. (55 words)

for
academic
purposes,and that's not why this is
here.
Many of us read poetry
simply because we often feel depressed and
hopelessly lost,and in poetry we see how
beautiful and strange everything in
that way poetry calms our anxiety.

Here are the main reasons I respond to

my

also
my

Poetry plays with language and often
puts words together in surprising ways,which is
thrilling the way that
food can be,when
the chef has paired ingredients you never thought
would taste good together but somehow
do.
Many poems are mean two
