During mindfulness training, students may be asked to sit quietly and observe their own thoughts and feelings to avoid being contr

16、olled by them. Mindfulness training can help students overcome anxiety (焦虑), control their behavior, and improve their ability to pay attention in class. Students are expected to learn how to meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork.Among schools that already teach medita

17、tion, the results have been positive. In one study, teachers reported that after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in class. A middle school in San Francisco reported that a student meditation program led to higher attendance rate

18、s and better grades. Another study suggested that meditation helped students perform better on tests by improving their working memory and reducing their anxiety. Many supporters believe that meditation training programs can also help students overcome stress. For example, Headstand is a mindfulness

19、 education program designed to help students overcome anxiety. A study concluded that ninety-eight percent of participating students felt less stressed after they completed the Headstand program. In another study, researchers in New Haven, Connecticut, followed students who participated in meditatio

20、n and yoga classes three times a week. They found that after each class, participants had lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (激素), in their bodies.Despite the positive results seen so far, critics also point out that much of the current research is not rigorous(严谨的) enough. Associate Profess

21、or Tamar Mendelson agrees that research on meditation in children is still in its early stages. However, even she insists that she has seen the positive impact of meditation on children. Others express worries that meditation is not a valuable use of class time. But many disagree. Denise Pope, a pro

22、fessor from the Stanford University, says, “This is something teachers can do immediately. You get a lot of bang for your buck and anyone who is against it isnt thinking clearly.” Indeed, additional studies will surely strengthen our understanding of the benefits of mindfulness.Although still in its

23、 early stages, research shows that meditation can help students learn to deal with anxiety and stress. As an added bonus, students of mindfulness training also report better concentration and gains in their academic performances. Therefore, meditation should be a part of every students school day. P

Most Chinese hotels often provide guests with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and s

28、lippers. Many guests like the idea because they dont have to bring their own. But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. They want to ask people to use less disposable things.Many

29、disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. It is a waste of natural resources and is very bad for the environment. Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, peopl

30、e throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. So, wherever you travel, bring your own things and use them again and again.Back at home and school

31、, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. After using a plastic bag, wash it out and let it dry. Then you can use it over and over again. Do not use paper cups. At your school canteen（食堂）, use y

35、ect our environmentC15、 Height is just one of the features your genes(基因) decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too. But if you

36、 have questions about how tall youre going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find them out.But genes dont decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to th

37、e expected height.Its natural that youre wondering how fast you should grow. Theres no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 6 cm a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty.Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. 2 cm here and 3 cm t

38、here make a little difference to the height youre at now. How have you been growing up to this height? What other changes may your body be going through?Dont be amazed if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt(高峰) during puberty. The age for starting puberty i

39、s about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.Youll usually begin to notice that youre growing faster about a year after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty.1If you want to know how tall you should grow,

This years slogan (标语)

43、 is “Breathe Easily, Sleep Well”. Its aim is to celebrate the advantage of good and healthy sleep.Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For

44、students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.But many students dont get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students dont get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For

45、 some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and cant fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even haveinsomniawhich might keep them awake all night.These sleeping problems greatly affect peoples lives. Experts have shown that not having enough sleep for

46、teenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, the lack of sleep may make them depressed (沮丧的).Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include avoiding drinks that make people exc

47、ited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time each night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold.1If Li Hong is 15years old, how much sleep does she need every night?A10-12 hours.

Theyre not really bad gues

50、ts, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different than in some western counties, it appears they are not nice guests. And western guests sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese persons home, there

51、is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the hosts way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wifes mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesnt smoke. When I see some

52、 of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North America homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house.

53、At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke?” “But, dont be surprised if they say, “No, you cant smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they dont allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude guest.Guests in China also have special habits.

54、 Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your home, dont be too

55、 surprised if they dont bring you a gift.In China, you probably wont need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of t

58、guests.DPeople should understand cultural differences.F18、Taking away a citys rubbish is a big job. Every day trucks come into a city to collect it. Most rubbish is made up of things we cant eat or use. If we kept these things we would soon have a mountain of rubbish.In some cities the rubbish is co

59、llected and taken outside of city to a dump. Often the city dump is placed where the ground is low or there is a big hole. The kitchen rubbish is broken into small pieces and sent into thesewagesystem. The sewage system takes away the used water from toilets, bathtubs and other places.To keep mice a

60、nd flies away, some earth is used to cover the newly dumped rubbish. Later, grass may be planted on the rubbish-filled land. Finally, a house or a school may be built there, and then youd never know that this had once been an old rubbish dump.In other cities the rubbish is burnt in special places. T
