A short guide to surviving a post-election Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving in the US is a celebration of the blessings of the previous year. This time it included one of the most divisive presidential campaigns. Even now it is over, the possibility of argument has not disappeared. Here we have some tips for you to survive this Thanksgiving.

●Cover up any signal of union

It might be fine to have your Hillary bumper sticker in New York, but it isn't going to go down well in Wyoming, where 70% voted Trump. Similarly, your "I love Trump" T-shirt will probably not be popular in California, where 62% voted Hillary.1.

●Practice your facial expression beforehand

They say a picture tells 1,000 words. Your face is the same. 2.You need to invest some energy in making sure your true feelings are completely buried. Ten minutes in front of the mirror should be enough to perfect your neutral face. 3.Well, we suggest closing them. Easy.

●Have a list of neutral topics for the dinner table

The weather is A favorite subject of the British. It is inoffensive, bland and can provide a good half-hour's chat, if done well. Everyone has an opinion on whether or not it is colder/hotter/wetter/windier than last year/10 years ago/when they were little. You can involve the whole family.4.With Clinton and Trump supporters largely split on whether climate change exists, it could inadvertently lead to politics. So it's maybe trickier for Americans than the weather-worn Brits. 5.After all, the rivalry between your American football team of choice and your cousin's may have a long and vitriolic history, but it is likely to be less poisonous than the current differences in your politics.

A. Sports may not be a neutral subject.

B. Biting your lip is simply not enough this holiday season.

C. There are hundreds of outstanding topics for Thanksgiving.

D. There is one slight downfall to this particular favorite.

E. Are you one of those people whose eyes always tell the truth?

F. So we advise leaving the T-shirt at home, and covering up the stickers.

G. It would be fine, if people of different opinions would not spend Thanksgiving together.

With the growing popularity of the Internet, more and more children are addicted to play online games day and night. It does harm not only to their health, especial their eyes, but also to their studies.

Comparing with online games, many traditional games, like hide-and-seek, benefits kids mentally and physically. They were ever popular with several generations, which not only learned anything valuable but also enjoyed playing the games. Therefore, the games are dying away now.

Personally, I think teachers and parents should take measure to limit their children’s Internet time. Let children to know the harm of online games and the benefits of traditional games. Help children judge healthy and unhealthy games. What’s more, we should often organize events for children in which traditional games played.

My teacher, Mr.August J.Bachmann, was the most influential teacher I ever had.

I had gotten into trouble in his class:Another student had pushed me for fun,and I became angry and began to hit him.Mr.Bachmann stopped the fight,but instead of sending me to the office,he sat me down and asked a simple question:"Penna,why are you wasting your life?Why aren't you going to college?"

I didn't know anything about colleges or scholarships.No one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future.That day,instead of rushing off for lunch,he stayed and explained possible education options to me.At the end of our talk,he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state college.This was in 1962 at Emerson High School in Union City,New Jersey.

Well,53 years have passed, and what have I done with the knowledge he gave me?I gained a PhD from Fordham University when I was only 29.I taught English and social studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to principal.

I've sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that organization at the United Nations.I've won a number of great educational awards.But where would I be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out of his lunch period to speak to me? It was without question only his confidence in me that helped me forward.

I have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters to aim higher. If I have saved any children, it is because of him. If I have been a successful educator, it is because I had a great role model in Mr. Bachmann.

1.The writer ________ before Mr.Bachmann talked to him.

A. was an active boy

B. liked making troubles in class

C. was an aimless boy

D. would get punished by his teachers

2.Which of the following best describes Mr.Bachmann?

C. He was strict with the writer.

D. He helped the writer with his study.

4.What does the writer think of his achievement?

She rented a car, loaded it with the food, and called non-profits. She found takers for only 25 sandwiches and ended up giving out the rest to a nearby park.

Despite her busy schedule, Ahmad tries to do a food pickup a week. "When you get to the shelter," she says, "If you wouldn't have eaten." And that's when I'm like, ‘This is why I do what I do.’

As we neared the last days of my mom’s life, I wanted to understand what she was feeling and seeing. The day before she took her last breath I decided to ask her.

First I wanted to make sure she could comprehend what I was saying. I told her I loved her, and she raised her eyebrows in acknowledgment. Then I shared a funny story about a conversation my sister and I had. The corners of her mouth turned up in a smile. I could tell that she was taking in every word. And then I went for it.

“Mom, can I ask you a serious question?” She turned her head and opened her eyes fully. I could tell she wanted to grasp every word that came out of my mouth.

“Mom, do you see any of our dead relatives in the room? Do you see your dad?” she shook her head.

“Do you see your mom?” She shook her head again.

“Do you see dad?” Her response was quite different this time. She began nodding her head.

“Is he here in this room right now?” She nodded. “Can he see me?” She nodded again. Then she tried to communicate with words, but she couldn’t get the words out. The next morning she died peacefully...

A few weeks ago, I was wondering why I haven’t had many dreams of my mom since she died. That night I had one of the clearest dreams I’ve had for a long time. Mom was dressed beautifully. She stared at me with a huge smile. Her eyes were bright and full of life. She was happier than I had seen her in years. And she was younger. We didn’t exchange any words, but it was clear that she was happy and free.

I woke up with joy in my heart.
