It was a stormy evening. Neil had thought he could get home on time, but his busy work was again stopping
him from spending time with his family. The bus stop on the way provided a small shelter (遮蔽物) where Neil
was increasingly worried with every minute passing. His wife and the seven- year-old son had told him to come
home early. He didn't want to let them down.
“Sir, why don't you buy a packet of peanuts (花生) from me?” Neil looked around and saw a man standing by
his side.“Oh, no, I'm not interested right now.” “Fried peanuts will do you a world of good. You can also take
some for your family.” As the peanut seller said, he filled a bag with the remaining peanuts and offered them to
Neil at a low price. But Neil still refused to buy them.
Suddenly, Neil heard a voice of a kid. “Dad, have you sold out the peanuts? My mum told me that we would
have money to buy me books then.” He saw a ten-year-old boy, totally wet from top to bottom as though he had
just run a race. The peanut seller quickly took off his coat and threw it over his son and said with a forced smile, “Yes, yes. Let's go home soon. Your mother will be worried.”
Neil turned to the man. When they both made eye contact, Neil noticed a look of what it was to be a hard-working father. He found the man in front of him was so respectable (值得尊敬的). He pulled a note from his wallet, placed it in the man's hand, told him to keep the change, and then walked away with the bag of peanuts.

Each player has his own reasons for playing a sport. In fact, there are both good and bad influences on the player's health.
Two famous researchers studied the relationship between exercise and mental (精神的) heath. They found that exercise could help cut down sadness and worry.“After just 25 minutes, you raise your spirits, you are less stressed, you have more energy, and you'll be willing to exercise again tomorrow. Feeling unhappy is no longer a barmier (限碍) to exercise; it is the very reason to exercise,” they said.
There are also many advantages of playing sports to your body. Exercise can help control weight and improve
the work of the cardiovascular system (心血管系统) It also provides longer-term advantages, such as cutting down the risk of many diseases, cutting down the level of body fat, and making the bones stronger. A player can also develop the skills needed to compete in a sport, such as hitting a baseball or kicking a soccer ball.

Repeated head trauma (反复的头部损伤) is harmful to the brain. It can cause a lot of problems such as memory loss and low spirits.

There are over 800 boarding schools in the UK with students from home and foreign countries. Boarding schools started hundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.
What to do?
In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term.Students study and live together. They can't go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities for their students, including music rooms, boats, swimming pools, cinemas and theatres. Most boarding schools have a “light-out” time. So when it's time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-mastersto take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.
What to wear?
Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, sometimes also a tie and a skirt. As students get older, the rules become less strict.

In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. They can also choose between a meal with no meat and another meal at lunch and dinner. And there is always self-service for salad (沙拉), other side dishes and a dessert.

A. Ask questions.
B. Keep your smart phone away
C. Think before responding(回应)
D. Use positives (积极的) body language
E. Pay attention to the speaker's mistakes.
F. Share what you have done in a similar situation.
It's important for everyone to learn how to be a better listener. Here are some tips about it.
(31)________
If someone is ready to open up to you, and you sit back with your arms crossed and don’t say a word, they’re
not going to say much. To encourage someone to keep talking, you should turn your head and body to face them and by making eye contact(接触).
(32)________
Asking questions is one of the best to show you’re interested. If someone is telling you about their ski trip, don’t respond with, “that’s nice”. Instead, you can ask, “How long have you been skiing?” or “What was your favorite part of the trip?”. The person will think highly of you because you have asked a few questions.
(33)________
After the speaker has finished talking, a good listener may take some time before responding. Simply take a few seconds to think or say. “Give me a second to think about that.” Doing either makes the speaker first feel you’re listening to what they’re saying. Then they will know you want to be thoughtful in your response.
(34)________
Watching you phone while trying to listen usually leads missing some part of the conversation and to the person talking feeling like he or she is not listened to. So put that phone down while listening if you don’t need it to check something or write something down as a part of the conversation.
(35)________
When asked for advice while listening or when it seems appropriate (适当的) ---not when the other person just
needs to express and get things out---share what you have done in the same situation or a similar one and what worked well for you.
