He enjoyed his work and traveling. But now，Mr. Cousins got sick. Because he had pushed his body to the limit of its strength on the trip, a chemical change began to take place inside him. The material between his bones became weak. In less than one week after his return, he could not stand. Every move that he made was painful. He was not able to sleep at night.‎ ‎ The doctors told him that they did not know how to cure Mr. Cousins’ problem and he might never get over the illness. However, Mr. Cousins refused to give up hope. He thought that unhappy thoughts were causing bad chemical changes in his body. He didn’t want to take medicine to cure himself. Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.‎ ‎ He began to experiment on himself while still in the hospital by watching funny shows on television. Mr. Cousins quickly found that 10 minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free sleep at night. After that Mr. Cousins left the hospital and checked into a ‎ hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr. Cousins rested in the hotel room watching funny shows on television, reading funny books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired.

If you haven’t, you should have. It’s here, it’s growing and it’s having an influence on our life. Surf the Internet and you’ll find blogs everywhere. A blog, shortened from “weblog”, is a public Internet journal written by one person or a group of people. It is a website in which a person or a group can place news, personal thoughts, text, photos, video or audio files, or links upon which visitors can comment. A blog lets you post on the Internet without having to know web design or be technical. You are given an environment to make dated entries on the topic of your choice which are “published”, so other people can read them.‎ ‎ Authoring a blog, maintaining a blog or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Blogging has revolutionized Internet publishing in the last several years because it gives everyone with Internet access the opportunity to become an online writer. Objects, such as “text and photos” in a blog can be called “blog posts”, “posts”, or “entries”. The person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”.‎ Now, somewhere around the world, a blog is created almost every 6 seconds. Because it’s great potential, Bill Gates views it as important as e-mail, BBS, and MSN. He’s trying to make blogs the important tools for future business communications.‎ ‎50.

Bloy is a useful tool in communication.‎ ‎ D You need to have an access to the Internet if you want to use blog.‎ C ‎ We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don't do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.‎ ‎ So, you have to give a speech-and you're terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, "Thank goodness, it's over. I'm just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again." ‎ ‎ Cheer up! It doesn't have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don't talk over their heads, which will make the listeners could not follow you; and don't talk down to them to let them feel bored about your speech. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness. ‎ ‎ Just remember: be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.‎ ‎ If you follow these simple steps, you'll see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You're not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.‎ ‎54.

But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896. That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile. Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker, instead of making the worker move to the parts. That is not true, either. Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford. What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better. And he made the whole factory a moving production line. 　　In the early days of the automobile, almost every car maker raced his cars. It was the best way of gaining public notice. Henry Ford decided to build a racing car. Ford's most famous race was his first one. It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself. 　　The race was in 1901, at a field near Detroit. All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left: the Winton and Ford's. The Winton was famous for its speed. Most people thought the race was over before it began. 　　The Winton took an early lead. But halfway through the race, it began to lose power. Ford started to gain. And near the end of the race, he took the lead. Ford won the race and defeated the Winton. His name appeared in newspapers and he became well known all over the United States. Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company. In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company. That sale was the beginning of Henry Ford's dream. Ford said: “I will build a motor car for the great mass of ordinary people. It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for. It will be ‎ built of the best materials. It will be built by the best men to be employed. And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce. It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.” 57. What do we know about Henry Ford from Paragraph 1 ? 　　A. He made good use of ideas from others. B. He produced the first car in the world. 　　C. He knew how to improve auto parts. D. He invented the production line. 58. Why did Henry Ford hold a car race? 　　A. To show off his driving skills.   B. To draw public attention. 　　C. To learn about new technology. D. To raise money for his new company. 59. “That sale” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________. 　　A. the selling of Ford cars at reduced prices   B. the sale of Model T to the mass of people 　  C. the selling of a car to a Detroit doctor D. the sales target for the Ford Company 60. What was Henry Ford's dream according to the text? 　　 A. Producing cars for average customers. B. Building racing cars of simple design. 　　 C. Designing more car models.  D. Starting more companies.‎ 第二节 He lived his whole life as a poor man. His art and talent were recognized by almost no one.

He relied heavily on support from his brother, an art dealer who lived in Paris. __65__ His “Portrait of Dr. Gachet” sold for US$ 89.5 million in 1990.

On my way to the cinema, I saw a case to fall off a man’s bike. So I shouted out at him to stop. Unluckily, he didn’t hear me and ride away. I was wondering what to do when an idea occurred at me. I stopped a taxi and quickly got into it with a case. Soon we caught up with the man. Get the case back, he was so thankful that he offered me some money, and I refused it polite. Then the driver drove me to the cinemas. When I paid him, the driver pushed my hand away, saying with a smile, “So will I accept your money.”‎ Neither/Nor I like it very much mainly for the following two reasons. First, in the class, we are exposed to different kinds of English films, which help us improve both our English listening and speaking. Equally attractive are the amazing stories of the heroes, because they show us how a person can work hard to make a difference. As a young student, I suggest that the teacher choose some more films that appeal to us teenagers, thus making the course more interesting. Besides, more activities should be included so that we can have more chances to practice our English. I'd appreciate it if you could take my suggestions into consideration. I hope that the course will become more popular.‎
