    Every people uses its own special word to show its ideas and feelings. Some of these expressions are commonly used for many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is “Where’s the beef?” It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s “Where’s the beef?” was one of the most popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone using it at the time.

    Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and food is more popular in America than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Ray called this “McDonald’s”. Ray became one of the richest businessmen at last in America.

    Other business people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company called “Wendy’s” said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else. The Wendy’s Company began to use the expression “Where’s the beef?” to make people know that Wendy’s hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendy’s television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a bit of meat. One of the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef. “Where’s the beef?” she shouted in a funny way. The advertisement for Wendy’s hamburger restaurants was a success. As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression “Where’s the beef?”

    The Health Benefits of Journaling

    Scientific evidence supports that journaling (or keeping diaries) provides unexpected benefits. The act of writing accesses your left brain, which is analytical and rational. While your left brain is occupied, your right brain is free to create and feel. In sum, writing removes mental blocks and allows you to use all of your brainpower to better understand yourself, others and the world around you. 1.

    Clarify your thoughts and feelings. Do you ever seem all mixed up inside, unsure of what you want or feel? Taking a few minutes to write down your thoughts and emotions will quickly get you in touch with your internal world.

    2. By writing routinely you will get to know what makes you feel happy and confident. You will also become clear about situations and be able to recognize people who will not get on with you — important information for your emotional well-being.

    Reduce stress. Writing about anger, sadness and other painful emotions helps to release your feelings. 3.

    Solve problems more effectively. Typically we solve problems from a left-brained, analytical perspective. But sometimes the answer can only be found by involving right-brained creativity and intuition (直觉). 4.

    Resolve disagreements with others. Writing about misunderstandings rather than worrying about them will help you understand another's point of view. 5.

    In addition to all of these wonderful benefits, keeping a journal allows you to track patterns, trends and improvements and growth over time.

    A. Know yourself better.

    B. Achieve goals.

    C. People have been studying whether the emotional release brings better sleep.

    D.Writing affords the opportunity for unexpected solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems.

    E. By doing so you will feel calmer and be able to stay in the present.

    F. Begin journaling and begin experiencing the following benefits.

    G. And you just may come up with a sensible resolution to the conflict.

    Su Hua is studying at Cambridge, UK. She has bought a bicycle and is worried about security (安全). Her friend, Kate, found this article and sent it to her.

    Introduction

    A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.

    Basic Security

    Do not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles (车座).

    Locks

    Get a good lock. There are many different types in the shops. Buy one that has been tested against attack. Ask for a recommendation from a bike shop.

    Marking

    Security marking your bike can act a deterrent to a thief. It can also help the police find your bicycle. It should be clearly written and include your postcode and your house or flat number. This will provide a simple way to identify your bicycle.

    Registration

    There are a number of companies who will security mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.

    Finally

    Keep a record of the bicycle yourself: its make, model and registration number. You can even take a photograph of it. This will prove the bicycle belongs to you.

    1.Which part of the text gives you information on how to lock up your bicycle when you leave it?

    A. Locks. B. Marking.

    D. stop you worrying about your bike

    3.The main purpose of this article is _________.

    A. to tell you what to do if your bicycle is stolen

    B. to suggest ways of keeping your bicycle safe

    C. to give you advice on where to buy a good lock

    D. to say why you shouldn’t keep your bicycle in a quiet place

    It was a bad time for me . I was low emotionally and tired physically. Probably because of this I hadn’t shaved for a few days. Also, because I had been doing some repairs at my daughter’s house, I was dressed quite scruffily. Boarding the bus to go home I saw it was almost full so I found a rail to lean against.

    That was when a young woman, sitting with her child, stood up and offered me her seat. “Wow !” I thought. Out loud I said, “Do I look that old and tired?” She replied,” You look like you’ve had a tough day.” I thanked her sincerely and stayed standing.

    A moment later a man rose from his seat at the back of the bus and made his way towards me, squeezing past several people on the way. Then he told me about his addiction problems, asked for my advice, and just chatted about life for a few minutes. Then he went back to his seat. Very random!

    Watching him go, I also looked at the bus－load of people between me and his seat. He hadn’t chosen to talk to those strangers. He chose to talk to this stranger, for whatever it meant to him and whatever comfort it brought him. Why?

    That’s when it occurred to me. I must have looked like I had been where he was. I probably looked like a man who would understand a difficult life. I was humbled and uplifted at the same time by the realization that even when we are at our lowest we can still help others—if we look like we might be able to meet them where they live or walk a while in their world.

    1.Why did the young woman offer her seat to the writer?

    A. Because she thought the writer looked very old.

    B. Because the writer looked very friendly.

    C. Because the writer looked humorous.

    D. Because the writer looked exhausted.

    2.What can we learn about the man from Paragraph 3 ?

    A. He was an acquaintance of the writer.

    B. He felt familiar with the writer.

    C. He might took drugs heavily.

    D. He lacked confidence in life.

    3.The underlined words “this stranger” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to“ .”

    A. the young woman B. one passenger

    C. the writer D. the driver

    4.Which of the following may be the best title for the text?

    A. Unusual Appearance Interests Strangers.

    B. Meet Them Where They Live.

    C. Small Talks Make a Difference.

    D. Accept What They Are.
