It is that simple. Just help a friend study for a test, or volunteer at a nursing home . I learned this after a long, hard search. I was feeling really down because my long4ime friend had died. Then I started a six-week volunteering at a nursing home all day every Saturday. My routine was to serve the meal and clean up. After that, I would wait for the head nurse to tell me what to do. One day I was told to go to Room 117 to make sure the patient was all righL. In the room I found a boy of eight sitting in his bed watching a movie. I was shocked to see a child in this seemingly forgotten nursing home for the old. He was so small and weak that you had to look closely to find him. He motioned for me to sit down. I grabbed his medical chart from which later I found out he had a terminal illness. We started to talk, and I found out that his family rarely visited, and all he did ever7 day was watch TV. I wanted to cry for him, and for my lost friend. As we talked, he had a smile on his face, and I asked him why. The entire two hours Ive been here youve never lost that smile. With this horrible disease, how do you still manage to stay happy? He thought for a moment, and then said that too many people are dead even before they die.They walk around feeling that God has cursed (诅咒) them and that they have nothing to live for.The boy said that he would not be like that. He wakes every morning thankful to see another sunrise. He keeps his window open so that he can smell the flowers and feel the heat of the sun. He also said that he has hope. Too many people havent seen much of that around here, he said, Life is full of hope and we need to live life before it is gone. I dont know what happened to him. I assume he passed away, but his lesson lives on. I now wake up and live each day to the fullest. The key to life is not money or fame, but the lessons we learn from it.56.

The main purpose of the passage is to _.

And meaningless feeling of boredom-recent studies find. It could even be true at work. Psychologists at the University of Central Lancashire had participants copy numbers out of the telephone book for 15 minutes,while others went straight into a standard creativity task. Both groups were asked to e up with as many different uses as they could for a plastic cup. The group that felt more bored came up with more uses. Dr. Sandi Mann, one of the studys authors said. Boredom at work has always been seen assomething to he removed. hut perhaps we should be weling it in order to encourage our creativity. What we want LO do next is to see what the practical implications of this finding are. Do people who are bored at work bee more creative in other areas of their work-or do they go homeand write novels? In a later study, Dr. Sandi Mann found that creativity was reduced when people were still bored but didnt have the chance to daydream. While we tend to think of boredom as something; that certainly leads to trouble-drinking, gambling. and antisocial behavior, this research suggests differer possibilities. More than anything, the feeling of boredom is a 8trong signal that we are stuck in some kind of rut and we need to seek out new goals. In the study above, this research led participants to new ideas. Usually people will do anything to avoid being bored. as its such an aversive experience. But creative people, like writers, sometimes talk ahout seeking out boredom. Here is the edy writer Graham Linehan talking about boredom Lo The Cuardian. I have to use all these programs that cut off the Internet,force me to be bored, because being bored is an essential part of writing, and the Internet has made it very hard to be bored. The creative process requires a period of boredom ,of being stuck. Thats actually a very unfortable period that a lot of people mistake for writers block, but its actually just part of a long process. So, when you start to feel bored , instead of g7ancing at your smartphone.,try being bored for a bit. Who knows what creative thought might e of it? 63. From the study of Dr. Sandi Mann, we can learn thaL . A. boring tasks make people creative B. daydreaming may increase creativity C. plastic cups can be used very creatively D. copying numbers might be very interesting64. The underlined word aversive in Paragraph 8 probably means _ A. mon. B. unpleasant C. unusual D. personal65. According to Craham Linehan. _ . A. glancing at a smartphone is a solulion. B. he is forced to feel bored by the Internet C. the boredom period is a block for writers D. being stuck for a period benefits him a lot66. What is the authors attitude towards boredom? A. Critical. B. Cautious. C. Positive D. Unclear. D Cheerleading is the fastest growing girls sport, yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport. Actually, petitive cheerleading is a sport. A sport is a “physical activity against/with an opponent, governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared, and the primary purpose of the petition is a parison of the relative skills of the participants. Because cheerleading follows these guidelines, it is a sport. petitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities. Like gymnasts, cheerleaders must learn to tumble (翻滚) . They perform lifts and tosses. This is where the flied are thrown in the air, held by bases in different positions that require strength and cooperation with otherteammates. Just as basketball and football have guidelines for petitive play, so does petitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be pleted in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area. petitive cheerleaders goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a mount, the sharper the motions, the better the score. Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation, first place is out of reach. Cheerleading is the number-one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for cheerleading are five times the number of those for any other sport, partially because they do not wear protective gear. While many athletes are equipped with hip pads or helmets, smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and spiral down into the arms of trusted teammates. The fliersmust remain tight at all times so that their bases can catch them safely. Also, because cheerleadingis not yet recognized as a sport by many schools, neither proper matting nor high enough ceilings are provided to ensure safety. Instead, the girls use whatever space is available. More recognition of petitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries. So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport? Some people argue that cheerleaders are just flirts in skirts with their only job to entertain the crowd, but cheerleaders today work just as hard as other athletes. Hopefully, cheerleading will bee as well-known a sport as f
