To increase awareness of aging problems in the international community, the
United Nations established Oct.

in 1991.
Many
countries
also
have
their
own
special
days
or
festivals
to
honor
senior
citizens.
let's take a look at how some countries celebrate Seniors' Day around the world.
The United States:
The first Sunday after Labor Day, the first Monday in September, was set as
National
Grandparents Day in 1978 when
Jimmy Carter
was
president.
On this day,
many
communities
in
the
US
will
hold
various
activities
for
the
elderly.
As
Americans
love
traveling, many seniors also will plan a trip together.
Canada:

Seniors'
Day,
which
is
called
Laughter
Day,
falls
on
June
21
each
year
in
Canada.
On this day, children may not present precious souvenirs or delicious food to the
seniors. Instead, they bring humor and laughter. As for Canadians, laughter is the
best present for older people.
The Republic of Korea:
The Republic of Korea
established May 8 as its Mothers' Day in 1956, and then
the day was made into Parents' Day in 1973. It's a major festival in the country.
On this day, children always make greeting cards and prepare flowers and gifts
for
their
parents.
Children
also
salute
their
parents
in
a
traditional
manner
during
visits and then present the flowers and gifts. After that, they will sit with their
parents for a talk.
Poland:
Poland also has Grandparents Festival, with the Grandmother Festival on Jan.

What do you do when you see litter on the beach? You pick it up, of course. But
artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi doesn't throw it away. She uses the trash to create
huge
sculptures(
雕塑
)
of
ocean
animals.
The
project
is
to
call
on
people's
awareness
about the effects of littering on ocean animals.
“
The
first
thing
you
need
to
do
is
get
people's
attention,
”

Pozzi
said.
“
Huge
animals tend to do this very well.
”

One
of Angela's
sculptures is
a
turtle. The turtle's head
is an old garbage
can
lid(
盖子
). There are nets around it to show that turtles are getting caught.
Another sculpture, called Fish Bite Fish, is shaped like a fish and made out
of little bits of plastic that contain tooth marks from the fish that tried to eat
the plastic.
“
We get so many pieces of plastic like this; I'm on my third Fish Bite
Fish sculpture,
”
said Pozzi.
The
Sea
Star
is
made
of
glass
and
plastic
bottles.
It
acts
as
a
musical
instrument.
You can put water in the bottles and hit them to make music.

- 2 -
Pozzi
doesn't
collect
all
the
trash
by
herself.
When
people
see
litter
on
beaches,
they give it to Artula Institute for Arts and Environmental Education. Then Pozzi
and
her
volunteers
begin
to
turn
the
waste
into
art.
Everything
used
for
the
sculptures
is found on the beach, except for the framework and the materials used to connect
the litter together.
Who does Pozzi believe can save ocean animals?
“
Kids have a lot of power,
”

she said.
“
They are the ones that can make things happen. I really believe it.
”

Like little turtles with limbs sticking out from their shells, kids walk slowly
to school every day carrying giant backpacks. Many experts believe that it is very
dangerous to kids. We can often hear that kids are saying
“My back hurts, and my
neck and shoulders hurt.
”
Heavy backpacks can also contribute to headaches.
Like the frame of a house, the spine(
脊柱
) is what keeps bodies
upright
. Put too
much
weight
on
this
frame
while
a
young
body
is
still
developing,
and
it
could
change
a child
’
s posture, bend the spine and affect growth. It also might contribute to

- 3 -
back problems or injuries when the child is older.
Jacobs
is
a
spokesperson
for
the
American
Occupational
Therapy
Association,
which
sponsors a national school backpack awareness day on September 16. She says crowded
schools and less locker
space may be making
backpacks bigger. A
study concludes that
backpack loads are responsible for a significant amount of back pain in children.
Proper
fit
and
design
are
important
for
relieving
pressure
from
the
spine
and
shoulders.
Kids
need
a
backpack
that's
made
for
their
size.
Padded
shoulder
straps
and
a
cushioned
back will also prevent aches and pains.
How heavy is too heavy? As a general rule, research shows the backpack should
be
no
more
than
10%
to
20%
of
a
child’
s
body
weight
to
avoid
pain
or
potential
injury.
For
an
elementary
school
child
who
weighs
just
50
or
60
pounds,
a
couple
of
textbooks
and lunch could push a pack beyond the safe threshold. For that reason, Jacobs says
it's important that kids
are carrying only what they need. “We've noticed that
students
are
taking
lots
of
water
to
school
with
them,
which
is
a
lot
of
extra
weight,”

Jacobs says. She recommends packing an empty water bottle and filling it at school.
Another tip is to pack the heaviest items in the middle of the pack, closer to the
back
8.

Which of the following isn
’
t caused by heavy backpacks?
A.

Having an ache in the back.
C. Getting stiff shoulder.

B. Having a headache.

D. Suffering from a stomachache.
9. What does the underlined word
“
upright
”
in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Strong.

B. Straight. C. Unique.
D. Tough.
your child weighs 60 pounds, his/her backpack should be at most?
A. 6 pounds
B. 8 pounds C. 10 pounds
11.
What’
s the best title for the text?
A. Big Backpacks Equal Big Problems
B. Ways to Reduce Backpack Problems
C. What Are Backpack Problem?
D. A Potential Disease for Children

Many of us dream of having thousands of dollars to spend on anything we want.
We buy lottery tickets, or play the stock 're sure when we have plenty of
money, we will be happy. But will we? While having some money does have an effect
on
our
level
of
happiness,
having
a
lot
of
money
does
not.
People
in
the
United
States
can
earn
from
$$20,
000
a
year
to
$$50,
000,
but
happiness
doesn't
increase
as
salaries
go up. Why is that?
It's
because
we
are
never
satisfied.
We
always
think
that
if
we
just
had
a
little
more money, we'd be happier, but when we get there, were not. The more you make, the
more you want. The more you have, the less it brings you joy.
The
things
money
can
buy
don
’
t
make
you
happy
either.
A
lot
of
researches
suggest
that
you
won't find
the
life
finally
buy that
BMW
you’
ve always wanted and it soon loses its appeal. Then, instead of wondering if
a new car is what really makes you happy, you decide you just need a different new
car. It's an endless cycle.
To
be
really
happy,
in
the
first
place
you
need
to
understand
what
makes
you
happy.
One secret of happiness: people. Researchers have found that those who have five or
more
close
friends
are
50
percent
more
likely
to
describe
themselves
as
“very
happy”.
Good
relationships
have
a
far
greater
effect
on
happiness
than
large
raises
in
salary.
So invest your time and energy in people. The payoff is much bigger in terms of
salary.


’
s the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To show the importance of money.

B. To tell the effects brought by money.
C. To introduce the topic of the text.

D. To ask readers their opinions on money.
13. Why don
’
t people feel happy with their increased salaries when they are rich?
A. Because they don
’
t need money any more.
B. Because they aren
’
t satisfied with their money.
C. Because they can
’
t experience the difficulty of making money.

- 5 -
D. Because they are very mean and feel lonely.

’
s the secret of making people happy according to the text?
A. Earning enough money.

C. Making more friends.







B. Keeping healthy.
D. Being understood.
ing to the passage which one is TRUE?
A. Having much money may not make us happy.

B. Happiness has nothing to do with money.
C. Having money contributes to making friends.
D. Being happy can bring us a lot more money.

Five Ways to Make People Like You

Encourage others to talk about themselves. The easiest way to become a good
conversationalist
（健谈的人）
is to become a good listener. To be a good listener
，

care
about
what
people
have
to
say. 16 .

they
just
want
someone who will listen to them.
●Smile

Smiles
are
free
to
give
and
have
an
amazing
ability
to
make
others
feel
wonderful. Smile in everything that you do.
●Remember a person's name

To any person
，
his/her name is the sweetest and most important sound in any
language. 18 .People love their names so much that they will often donate large
amounts of money just to have a building named after them. We can make people feel
extremely valued and important by remembering their names.
