Bad days happen to us all. Often a day that starts out bad just continues to get worse. But why？
Sometimes there’s a “domino effect （多米诺骨牌效应）” with bad events. For example， you sleep through the alarm， so you’re stressed. And you will sit in the bad traffic， which will also make you late for work， etc.

Get some exercise
If you can， go for a walk. Exercising will help you feel better. Exercising can get your day back to be normal again.

On a cold winter afternoon， Susan was walking home from a supermarket. She was feeling a little tired， as she was carrying her shopping bags.

The man was holding a paper bag. He walked to a rubbish bin （箱子） and started looking through it. Susan suddenly felt sad. She knew this man would take all that he could get， so she went up to him and gave him some fruit. The man looked up in surprise and took what she gave him.
A big smile appeared on his face and she felt very happy. Then he said， “Wow！ First someone gave me this sandwich， then the orange juice， and now some delicious fruit. This is my daughter’s lucky day. Thank you， girl.” Then he went away， singing a song.
Just then， Susan understood what the saying “Giving is getting” really meant. Everyone in the world needs help； everyone can offer help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness.

Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.
Adult （成年的） drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports， the weather， and the life of American people. Most of the radio programmes are music.
Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country， young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes， all the young people want to meet him or her. Then the singer becomes a national star. There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk （流传民间的；普遍大众的） music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today， any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.

With the development of science， more and more students don’t like taking notes by hand. Instead， they use digital （数码的） cameras to take pictures of the words that their teachers write on the blackboard or record what their teachers say in class.
The children might think there are too many notes to take or their teachers write or speak so fast that they can’t take more specific notes. They are trying to find ways to make things easier， so they use digital cameras. In fact， children are very clever to make use of technology （技术）.
But do digital cameras really make taking notes easier？
Not really. Before you read notes from digital cameras， there are a lot of things you have to do. To begin with， you have to find a computer. Then you need to copy the photos into the computer. Next， you have to find a printer （打印机） to print the photos. Another thing is that you can’t hear the sound from the digital cameras clearly because there is usually lots of noise. You will have to listen to it slowly several times before you understand everything. In fact， taking notes by hand has many advantages. For example， it can help you remember and understand what you are learning. In order to save time， you can choose the most important things or the things you don’t understand to write down. You don’t have to write down everything.
Don’t be afraid to take notes by hand. It’s really an effective way.
46. Why do more and more students take notes with digital cameras but not by hand？
A. They want to take right notes.
B. They want to make things easier.
C. Their teachers want them to do so.
D. They always want to try new things.
47. How many steps do the students need to read the notes from digital cameras？
A. Four. B. Three.
C. Two. D. One.
48. What does the underlined word “effective” mean in Chinese？
A. 有趣的 B. 快捷的
C. 新潮的 D. 有效的
49. Which of the following is TRUE about taking notes？
A. You should copy the pictures into the computer.
B. You shouldn’t be afraid to write down everything.
C. To save time， you should memorize instead of taking notes.
D. You only need to write down what you don’t understand or some key words.
50. What does the writer think is the best way to take notes？
A. Taking pictures of the words that teachers write.
B. Tecording what the teachers say in class.
C. Taking notes with your hand.
D. Using a computer.

Wang Fei， a Chinese student， and Mary， an American student studying Chinese in China， were in a supermarket. They saw a young man walking down the stairs. In his hurry， he missed the last two steps and fell onto the ground. He tried to stand up while people around him laughed. Luckily， he seemed to be OK.
Mary found Wang Fei smiling a little and was not happy about it. “Tell me， Fei， how could people laugh when someone fell like that？ Why didn’t they go up and ask him if he was hurt？”
Wang Fei said， “Because they knew he wasn’t hurt too much.”
“But I still don’t understand. A fall is a fall. In my culture， people would never laugh！”
This is an example. The Chinese and the westerner will think and act differently when seeing such a thing. Chinese people are used to laughing or smiling. Very often the person who is in embarrassing （困窘的） situation would also laugh or smile to get out of it. However， if someone gets hurt seriously， it will not be a laughing matter any more. People will help him or her instead.
But， in that case， a westerner will rush over and help the person get up. If a westerner falls， he or she， like a Chinese person， may try to make a joke if he or she is not hurt. If two close friends are walking together， and one falls but clearly isn’t hurt， a common joke is to say “Have a nice trip”.
So different people have different habits and different countries have different cultures.
根据短文内容回答问题。
1. What were Wang Fei and Mary？
2. Why didn’t people go up and ask the young man if he was hurt？
3. What do Chinese people often do when they find themselves in embarrassing situation？
4. What is a westerner likely to do when he or she sees someone falling down？
5. In chinese culture， what might Wang Fei say to Mary if Mary fell but clearly was not hurt？

Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.
Adult （成年的） drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports， the weather， and the life of American people. Most of the radio programmes are music.
Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country， young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes， all the young people want to meet him or her. Then the singer becomes a national star. There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk （流传民间的；普遍大众的） music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans.

With the development of science， more and more students don’t like taking notes by hand. Instead， they use digital （数码的） cameras to take pictures of the words that their teachers write on the blackboard or record what their teachers say in class.
The children might think there are too many notes to take or their teachers write or speak so fast that they can’t take more specific notes. They are trying to find ways to make things easier， so they use digital cameras. In fact， children are very clever to make use of technology （技术）.
But do digital cameras really make taking notes easier？
Not really. Before you read notes from digital cameras， there are a lot of things you have to do. To begin with， you have to find a computer. Then you need to copy the photos into the computer. Next， you have to find a printer （打印机） to print the photos. Another thing is that you can’t hear the sound from the digital cameras clearly because there is usually lots of noise. You will have to listen to it slowly several times before you understand everything. In fact， taking notes by hand has many advantages. For example， it can help you remember and understand what you are learning. In order to save time， you can choose the most important things or the things you don’t understand to write down. You don’t have to write down everything.
Don’t be afraid to take notes by hand. It’s really an effective way.
46. Why do more and more students take notes with digital cameras but not by hand？
A. They want to take right notes.
B. They want to make things easier.
C. Their teachers want them to do so.
D. They always want to try new things.
47. How many steps do the students need to read the notes from digital cameras？
A. Four. B. Three.
C. Two. D. One.
48. What does the underlined word “effective” mean in Chinese？
A. 有趣的 B. 快捷的
C. 新潮的 D. 有效的
49. Which of the following is TRUE about taking notes？
A. You should copy the pictures into the computer.
B. You shouldn’t be afraid to write down everything.
C. To save time， you should memorize instead of taking notes.
D. You only need to write down what you don’t understand or some key words.
50. What does the writer think is the best way to take notes？

Wang Fei， a Chinese student， and Mary， an American student studying Chinese in China， were in a supermarket. They saw a young man walking down the stairs. In his hurry， he missed the last two steps and fell onto the ground. He tried to stand up while people around him laughed. Luckily， he seemed to be OK.
Mary found Wang Fei smiling a little and was not happy about it. “Tell me， Fei， how could people laugh when someone fell like that？ Why didn’t they go up and ask him if he was hurt？”
Wang Fei said， “Because they knew he wasn’t hurt too much.”
“But I still don’t understand. A fall is a fall. In my culture， people would never laugh！”
This is an example. The Chinese and the westerner will think and act differently when seeing such a thing. Chinese people are used to laughing or smiling. Very often the person who is in embarrassing （困窘的） situation would also laugh or smile to get out of it. However， if someone gets hurt seriously， it will not be a laughing matter any more. People will help him or her instead.
But， in that case， a westerner will rush over and help the person get up. If a westerner falls， he or she， like a Chinese person， may try to make a joke if he or she is not hurt. If two close friends are walking together， and one falls but clearly isn’t hurt， a common joke is to say “Have a nice trip”.
So different people have different habits and different countries have different cultures.
根据短文内容回答问题。
1. What were Wang Fei and Mary？
2. Why didn’t people go up and ask the young man if he was hurt？
3. What do Chinese people often do when they find themselves in embarrassing situation？
4. What is a westerner likely to do when he or she sees someone falling down？
5. In chinese culture， what might Wang Fei say to Mary if Mary fell but clearly was not hurt？
