Life is always full of stress these days. How do you usually solve your stress? Do you know doing housework is helpful in solving stress? In fact, doing something like washing dirty clothes may really make people relaxed. “Doing some housework such as folding clothes or cleaning the room is a good way to face our stress without taking any medicine，” says Carol Clark, a successful psychologist(心理學(xué)家) in New York. She often advises people who are under lots of stress to try doing housework every day. “While washing something，” she says, “you can imagine you're washing away some trouble in your life.”

Do people all agree with her idea? Here are some ideas about it．

“Housework is the main reason for the stress in my life，” says Linda in France(法國). “Get me out of doing the housework and then I'll really be relaxed.”

Gary is a single(單身的) father. “So, a man pays a psychologist $200 an hour for his problem about stress. However, he is just told to go back home and do some housework. I really don't know who is crazier, the psychologist or the man！”

1.What does Carol Clark advise people under stress to do?

I think it is safe to say that snakes are not popular among most people. It would be hard to find a person who is neutral (中立的),or simply doesn’t care one way or the other. What I wonder is why something even without legs causes such great fear.

Snakes are quite useful, but that doesn’t seem to matter. Snakes help control the population of mice. Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere. Most of us, however, would rather see a mouse than a snake.

The poison argument (毒性的爭(zhēng)論) is a strong one. Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death. However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones.

And what do we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully. Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded. They are able to put aside differences and welcome the snake as a friend.

Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes do something good in the circle of life. They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should do. If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime. That would be fine with most of us.

1.How does the writer describe the appearance of snakes?

A. Something even without legs.

A. They welcome snakes as their best friends.

B. They would rather see a mouse than a snake.

C. They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.

D. They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.

3.Although some snakes are poisonous, ______.

A. they cause many people’s death

B. they control the population of mice

C. they are not dangerous to people

D. they are only a small number

4.People who really like snakes are open-mindedbecause they ______.

A. are able to put aside differences

B. think all the snakes are poisonous

C. are able to deal with poisonous snakes

D. take part in the poison argument

5.The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer ______.

A. dislikes snakes B. has the best luck

Almost every Chinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem:" Every grain on the plate comes from hard work(誰知盤中餐，粒粒皆辛苦)." But sadly, many of us don't actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don't waste food.

A CCTV program, News One Plus One, reported that food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.

Do we have too much food? No, according to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.

Chinese people are well known for being generous(慷慨的). Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.

Luckily, a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired(開除)because she took some leftover(剩余的)food home for her son. Many people stood by her side and agreed that it was not right to waste food.

What should we do in our daily life to waste less food? Here are some tips:

◆Do not order too much in a restaurant. Only order what you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.

◆Don't be too picky(挑剔的)about food. Some food may not taste great. But your body needs it.

◆Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don't buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.
