Unit1 Lifestyle语境记忆小文章1Everyone has his own lifestyle in modern society .Some like living a peaceful and relaxing life, while others prefer a busy and stressful one. Here are two examples for you. My cousin, Mark, belongs to the first kind. Every morning when he opens his eyes, the first thing for him to do is to switch on the TV. He also likes to switch over frequently . He never gets bored of any programmes and doesnt switch it off until his wife asks him to have breakfast. His wife always complains about him for this. Sometimes she even cant stand his behaviour , but Mark doesnt mind.He hopes that watching TV takes up all his spare time and wants to be a couch potato, because he doesnt like the life full of pressure .My friend, Helen, who graduated from a famous university , is now an accountant in a big company in the center of London.Every morning, when her alarm clock goes off,she jumps out of her bed.With a little breakfast, she hurried to catch the 7:15 crowded tube,otherwise shell be late for work, because she doesnt live nearby London. Helens whole day is always filled with urgent matters. For her, every minute matters and she even has no time to deal with her personal emails.Helens job is full of challenge and stress. Sometimes, to finish a report, she has to bring the documents back home to work until midnight. Besides, she is studying how to design advertisements by distance learning. I once told her to reduce her work and join in more social activities,but she refused .As a result,she suffered from sickness and has to turn to the doctor for help. The health expert tells her the only thing to solve her healthy problem is to stop working and have a good rest.Which lifestyle do you prefer? I suppose everyone has his own choice.在现代社会里每个人都有自己的生活方式。有的喜欢平静、轻松的生活，而有的更喜欢过忙碌的、充满压力的生活。这里有两个例子。我的堂弟，马克，属于第一类。每天早上他睁开眼的第一件事就是打开电视。他还喜欢频繁地转换频道。而且他对任何节目都不会感到厌烦。直到他的妻子喊他吃早饭他才肯关上电视。他的妻子因此经常抱怨他。有时候她甚至忍受不了他的这种行为，但马克不在乎。他希望电视占据自己所有的空闲时间，他想成为一个终日懒散在家的人，因为他不喜欢充满压力的生活。我的朋友海伦，毕业于一所名校，现在在伦敦中心的一家大公司当会计。每天早上闹铃一响，她就立刻从床上跳起来。吃一点早饭，她就急匆匆地去赶7：15的拥挤的地铁，否则的话她就会迟到，因为她没住在伦敦附近。海伦一整天都是紧急的事情。对她来说，每分钟都很要紧。她甚至没有时间处理个人的电子邮件。海伦的工作充满挑战和压力。有时候为了完成一份报告，她不得不把文件带回家一直工作到午夜。而且，她还通过远程学习学习如何设计广告。我曾经告诉她要减少一下工作，多参加一些社交活动，但她拒绝了。结果，她患上了病不得不向医生求助。健康专家告诉她解决她的健康问题的唯一办法是停止工作，好好休息。 你更喜欢哪种生活方式？我猜想每个人都有自己的选择。Unit2 Heroes 语境记忆小文章2Tom, an American famous badminton bdmintn athlete li:t, has won several world champions tmpjnz and two Olympic ulimpik champions.
