Here are some useful tips, First, we should do exercise if we have time. For example, we can go to swim in the summer holiday. Or we can take a walk after supper. Doing exercise makes us healthy and strong. Second, we should take more vegetables and fruit and less candies. Stop eating junk food and drinking beers. Last but not least, we should go to bed early and wake up early. We should have enough sleep, or we will get sleepy in the day time. If we pay more attention to the tips above, we will have a healthier bod y. Translation 2

(　　) Everybody knows that women and men communicate differently. Women are more able to manipulate their facial expressions than men. However, the results are reversed when it comes to expressing anger. Women have a tendency to catch others‘ emotions, although men can hide their expressions better than females. Women are more inclined to face each other and make eye contact when talking. Men are more likely to look away from each other. When in a discussion, men are likely to debate and talk about a range of top ics while the ladies may talk at length about one topic. Understanding the difference in communication between men and women might help us communicate with each other in a better way. Translation 3 Acco rding to Chinese lunar calendar ，August 15 of every y ear is a traditional Chinese festival --- the Mid -Autumn Festival. This day is the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid -Autumn. On that night, people gather together to celebrate the Mid -Autumn Festival, looking up at the bright moon and eating moon cakes. The festival is also a time for family reunion. People living far away from home will express their feelings of missing their hometowns and families at this festival. There are many customs to celebrate the festival, all expressing people‘s love and hope for a happy life. Since 2008, the Mid -Autumn Festival has become an official national holiday in China. Translation 4 For you, these next four years will be a time unlike any other. Here you are surrounded by great resources; interesting students from al l over the country, a learned and caring faculty, a comprehensive library, great sports facilities, and student organizations covering every possible interest – from the arts to science, to community service and so on. You will have the freedom to explore and learn about new subjects. You will learn to get by on very little sleep, meet fascinating people, and pursue new passions. You should make the most of this unique experience and use your energy and enthusiasm to reap the benefits of this opportunity. Translation 5 With awareness of increasing dishonesty in today‘s society, it‘s sometimes implied that in ―the good old days‖ people were better, happier, and more honest. Were they more honest? Maybe yes, maybe no. Long ago, all American schoolchildren knew the historical story of how Abraham Lincoln walked five miles to return a penny he had overcharged a customer. It‘s the kind of story that we think of as myth. But in the case of Lincoln, the story is true. Every society has stories stressing the abs olute value of honesty. It‘s these stories that students need to remember when temptation induces them to cheat. Translation 6 For most undergraduates, non -stop Internet is the fuel of college life. More than just toys, these instruments are powerful tools for the storage and management of every kind of information. And as more people around the world adopt these instruments, they are becoming indispensable. So, students should use the Internet to do homework, review lecture outlines, take part in class discussions and network online with their friends. But in doing so, students must remember to regulate and balance their time. Too much time online can mean too little time in real -life studying or exercising or visiting with friends. Translation 7 The first written records of the ancient Olympic Games date to 776BC. The ancient Olympics were held every four years between August 6 and September 19 during a religious festival honoring Zeus(　　). The first modern Olympics were held in Athens, Greece, in 1896. The Olympic symbol consists of five interlaced rings of equal dimensions, representing the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games. The Olympics truly took off as an international sporting event after 1924, when the 8 th Olympic Games were held in Paris. Translation 8 Air pollution can spread from city to city. It eve n spreads from one country to another. So air pollution is really a global problem. Air pollution may kill people, especially babies, older people, and those who have diseases with their breath. Air pollution increases the risks of certain lung diseases. T here are other possible health dangers from air pollution that we don‘t know much about. For example, scientists are trying to find out whether chemicals that reach us from the air may cause changes in our cells. These changes might cause babies to be born with serious birth defects. Scientists are trying to learn how all the chemicals we are apt to take into our body work. Translation 9 The secret of success is not so much money as a strong will. A great man is one who has a strong will and an indomitabl e spirit. In other words, if a man does not have a strong will to win the final victory, he will never succeed in his life. It is quite obvious that there is no difficult thing (nothing difficult) in the world. If you make up your mind to do it, you will c ertainly accomplish your end. Our National Father, Dr. Sun Yat -Sen, is the most ideal example. He met with many failures, but he was anything but discouraged. As a result, he won , the Republic of China was born. Translation 10 If you are feeling that life just cannot be any worse for you, it can be challenging to think positive thoughts. When we are stressed, depressed, upset, or otherwise in a negative state of mind because we perceive that "bad things" keep happening to us, it is important to shift those negative thoughts to something positive. If you start with one small, positive thing and repeat it during the course of your day, you will begin to move into a more positive situation: positive thoughts, feelings, opportunities and people will start showi ng up in your life. With practice, you will find that over time, you will change your outlook and choose to be happy, reg ardless of the events around you. 写作专项练习 (　　) 作文 1 Part Five: Writing (　　) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 25 minutes to write a short passage about 100 words entitled ― A Brief Introduction to Tourist Attraction ‖, You should base your writing on the outline given in Chinese below.
