Close your eyes. Think about a happy memory. What do you see? What do you smell? Do memories smell? Haraid Vogt and Avery Gilbert think so. Smell and memory are very important to them. Why? They sell smells.
Who do they the smells to? And how can they sella smell? Businesses come to Vogt and Gilbert for help. Vogt and Gilbert find a smell to go with the business’s product. For example, Vogt and Gilbert worked with and expensive hotel in New York City. They developed a smell like expesive cologne(科隆香水)for the hotel’s owners. Then they put it in the air of the hotel hallway. Why did they choose the smell of cologne? A lot of businessmen stay at that hotel. The hotel’s owners want their guests(客人)to feel like they are in an expensive men’s club. And rich men wear expensive cologne.
Using smell to sell things is not new. Bakers know that the smell of baking bread brings in customers. They always make sure that people on the street can smell the baking bread. Chocolate makers do the same thing. And of course perfume (香水)makers sell smells.
In the past, only the food and perfume businesses used smell to sell their products. But today, more and more businesses are trying it, from hotels to airlines(航空公司). Some companies put a special smell on the advertisement that they send to customers. For example, one car company uses a perfume on their booklet that smells like a new car.
But do smells really sell? The answer seems to by yes. Smells become a part of our memories. And memory is important in sales, why? When customers remember the name of a product, they usually choose it again. But there are a lot of choices these days, so it isn’t easy to remember product names. That’s why smell is important. It helps people remember.
In the future, will different computers and televisions have different smells? Vogt and Gilbert think so. They are sure that one day, most businesses will use smell to sell.

In 1998, I wrote a letter for my?future?self with instructions not to open until my birthday 2010. It was now 2011, so I decided to open it. This is what it said:
Dear Sherri,
By the time you read this, you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had many hopes and dreams about you. Right now I hope you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and abroad, maybe you have even settled (定居) down somewhere in France, and maybe you are working in the field of art. I hope you're married to Gwynn -- the man of your dreams. You'll probably have two children – a girl and a boy.
If everything goes okay, you'll be living in France in a big house in a small town with Gwynn and your two children. You are doing research in painting. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing all right for yourselves.
However, if things don't go according to plan, I wish you love, happiness and joy.
Love,
Sherri "18"
When I read this, I was surprised. So much of what I wanted has come true.
I did travel to a few more places in Canada. I've traveled to the UK, Australia and Egypt. 3I have been living in France for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb (郊区), in a major city. I am an art teacher in a university. I have two lovely kids.
But not everything went as what I hoped. I married a man named Tom Rees, and he is an excellent artist. We are doing all right for ourselves.
4I find it cool how the dreams of a young girl can become a grown woman's reality (现实).

Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly while you are trying to work or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?
If you do, you need to take control of your feelings. Getting angry with others can cause you to lose friends.
Gary Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written My Feelings Are Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells how to stay cool when bad things happen.
The book says that getting angry only makes problems worse. It can never make them better.
“Getting angry is not a natural way to act,” the book says. It is just a bad habit, like smoking.
The book says you can control your anger easily … all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry.
The book gives many tips to help you if you get angry easily. Here are the top three.
●Keep a record. Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. Look at it later and
you will see you get angry too easily.
●Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will teach you not to be angry.
●Do something different. When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere
else. Try to laugh.

Gregg Bleakney’s dream was to travel the Americas from top to Bottom. He got the idea after he finished a long bike ride. Gregg’s friend, brooks Allen, also liked riding a bike. The two friends talked and made a plan: they would travel from Alaska to Argentina—by bike.
To pay for the trip, Gregg and Brooks worked to save money for a long time. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors and ate cheaply. In many places, local people opened their doors to the two friends and gave them food.
On their way, there were deserts, rainforests and mountains. They visited modern cities and ancient ruins (遗迹) such as Machu Picchu in Peru. And they made many friends from all over the world.
In May 2007—two years, twelve countries, and over 30,500 kilometres later—Gregg finally reached Ushuaia, Argentina. (Near Guatemala, Brooks had to go back and Gregg continued without him.)
The trip taught both men a lot about traveling. What did they learn? Here is some of Gregg’s advice:
Travel light. You should carry many things with you.
Be flexible (灵活). Don’t plan everything. Then you’ll be more relaxed and pleased especially if there are problems.
Be polite. one traveler told Gregg, “Nobody wants to fight or cheat a nice man.” It’s true.

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。
Many parents like setting family roles for their kids.When kids break rules,parents will
give them some punishments,which aren’t included in rules.In fact,when you tell your kids
about a new rule,you should talk with them about the price they should pay for breaking the rule—what the punishment will be.
Punishments you set should be reasonable,without violence or threat(暴力或威胁).For example,if you find your son smoking,you may limit(限制)his social activities for two weeks. You should punish your kids only in ways you have discussed before the rule is broken.A study shows that the most popular punishment is to limit kids’ TV time.
It’s understandable that you’ll be angry when rules are broken.Punishment is a way to express your anger,but it’s not a very good one.Sharing your feelings of anger,disappointment or sadness with your kids can have a better effect on them.Try to do that.When your kids know what they have done has made you_______,they will feel guilty(内疚的).When they know their actions influence you greatly,they will obey rules better.
Family rules are made to help your kids behave better.If your rules or ways of punishment make them unhappy or under a lot of pressure,are they helpful?

There is always something that we can never forget. And it can really change our life.
Time is important for everyone. It organizes our everyday moments. However, before I received a watch from my father, time never had any importance in my life. It organized my life and made me more responsible.
I received this gift on a Sunday. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 am to pick up Uncle Jim and take him to my father’s house. However, I was late because I hung out with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 am, I remembered my uncle and went to the airport to meet him, but I was too late. He had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.
I got to my father’s house at 2:00 pm that day. Looking at my father’s face, I felt ashamed (羞愧的) at that moment. My father asked me to sit next to him and he handed me this watch as a gift. Then he said, “Bob, did you have fun with your friends today?” “Yes, Father, and I’m sorry about not picking up Uncle Jim,” I replied. He then said, “What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions. I think you should learn something from it, and this watch will be a reminder for you in your future life.” The watch is very important to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.
Today I still remember my father’s words“Respect time and never be late for anything.”

Children know that summer is probably the most fun of all seasons. However, experts say it is also the most dangerous, especially, for children aged 14 and under. In its first study of children's safety in the US, the National Safe Kids Campaign (NSKC) found that nearly half of the injury-related (与受伤相关的) deaths among children happen in summer.
Experts are not surprised by the study’s results. They always know summer is a dangerous season for children. During the summer, children are out of school and spend more time outdoors. They are more likely to get into an accident or be injured. "While we encourage children to be active and spend time outdoors, they need to understand the importance of safety," said Everett Koop, an expert of the NSKC.
To help children stay safe, the NSKC started a "Make it a Safe Kids Summer" Campaign (运动) during National Safe Kids Week, from May 5 through May 12. Here are some important summer safety tips from the NSKC:
● Always wear your seat belt.
● Make sure there is an adult around when you decide to go swimming.
● Wear a life jacket (救生衣) when on a boat or doing water sports.
● Obey all traffic laws.

As teenagers, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize, or they can be small. You may just want to become one of the ten best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream true?
Follow Your Heart by Australian writer Andrews tells us that making our dreams true is life’s biggest challenge (挑战).
In fact, everyone can make his dream come true. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is.
Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want. Do this step by step and your dream will come true faster because a big dream is, in fact, many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream.
There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or it is impossible for you to become a writer. These kinds of thoughts stop you from getting your dream, the book says.
You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will lead to better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book. As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn more skills and find new interests.

in. When the sun dries up the water, people can get salt from the ground.
There are a lot of salt wells in Sichuan, China. A salt well is much like a water well. People bring the well water up to the ground and then dry it in big jars(罐) over fire. In this way, they can get salt.
We can also get salt from salt mines(矿). A salt mine may be found under the ground. Some years ago, people in Jiangxi found a big salt mine and soon opened it. People there don’t need salt from other places any more.
Another way to get salt is from salt lakes. Some of these lakes are very big in the northwest of our country, The salt in a big lake will be enough for all the people in our country for hundreds of years.

Many kinds of birds live in the United States, but the number of the birds is becoming smaller every year. One of the leading reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your home, you can help give birds a better possible chance to live.
Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, about two—thirds are allowed to go outside. It is said that these cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year, as well as billions of small animals such as rabbits and field mice.
They can also bring illness to the animals that live in people's yard(院子), further weakening the health of the natural populations.
Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife, it's also bad for the cats themselves. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They are in danger from traffic and attacks(攻击)from other animals. In fact, outdoor cats usually don't live past the age of five, while indoor cats often live to be 17 or older.
Keep your pet cat inside! If you raise a young cat, it's your duty to let it play inside.

Twentieth Century Inventions
●●●1903—The first flight succeeded.
In 1900, Wilbur Wright said flight was possible for man. After much work he and his brother Orville Wright made this dream come true.
On December 17, 1903, the brothers made the first successful airplane flight on a windy beach at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The brothers’ plane flew 120 feet. Although the flight lasted only 12 seconds, it moved the course of history in a new direction.
●●●1935—Nylon was invented.
In 1928, a new chemical lab was opened to make a kind of man-made materials. Wallace Carothers took part in the team when he was 32 years old.
In 1934, he made fibers (纤维), but the fibers were quite weak. He didn’t give up. After many experiments, he produced the long and strong fibers in 1935. They named the fibers “nylon”. Carothers was very satisfied with his work.
Nylon hit the markets in 1939, and quickly became a replacement of silk. But it was a pity that he didn’t see the wide use of his invention. He died in April, 1937.
●●●1968—The computer mouse was first shown in public.
As a graduate student, Douglas Engelbart began to imagine ways in which all sorts of information could be on screens.
In 1964, Douglas Engelbart made the first computer mouse. The computer mouse had a wooden shell with two metal wheels.
In 1968, the first computer mouse appeared in public. It was named “mouse” because a tail came out at the end. In later years, the computer mouse became more and more important.
Douglas Engelbart changed the way that computers worked.
Now computer mice are becoming increasingly useful. And there are many different shapes of computer mice in the world.

How to deal with homesickness
When you sleep somewhere else, like at a summer camp or a friend’s house, you know you’re there for a fun time. But for some kids, when they are away from home they feel sad. They start to miss their own beds, their own parents, and all the things at home. It’s called being homesick(想家的). Do you want to feel less homesick? Here’s how:
Spend more time in doing fun things. The more fun things you do, the less time you’ll have to feel homesick. So try to take part in activities and soon you might start to have a good time.
You can make a plan to call your mum or dad. For a night visit, maybe you can call once that night, and again in the morning. In the camp, you might set a regular day and time for a phone call home. You can also send e-mails or short messages to keep in touch (保持联系) with family and friends. If you’re going to be away for a while, you might even write a letter!

In common with many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December
1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160
people died from pollution in just four days.
Part of the problem is the new ‘out of town’ shopping centres. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. As a result, the small shops have disappeared and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about
£100, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over £1.00.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.

Chinese value(价值观) and American value
As a Chinese-American student, I have much to say about the value differences between the two countries.
American kids love to make money by themselves. Chinese kids always ask money from their parents. So American kids spend more money than they have, but Chinese kids spend less money and they have money left in the bank.
American parents think going to an expensive and famous college is not useful. Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to good colleges even if it means that they have to sell everything they have.
American parents allow their daughters or sons to go out with their friends if they come back home at the right time. Chinese students aren’t allowed to do so in middle or high school.
American parents support and encourage their children all the time while Chinese parents
think that criticism(批评) is the best love in the world. So American parents only look at their children’s good side. Chinese parents seem to only see their children’s bad side.
I don’t want to say which culture is better because both cultures have their pros and cons.
