Fu’s soup became the talk of the town. Many people came to see him.

About a year ago, if you had asked who Dinara Safina was, the answer would have been: “She is Marat Safin’s younger sister. ”Back then she was overshadowed by her wonder brother. But now she has made a name for herself :the world No. 1 player in women’s tennis.
The 22-year-old Russian will overtake Serena Williams of the US for top ranking on April 20. “Before, every place I go, I am Marat’s sister. Nothing else, ”she told New York Times. “I always wanted to be myself, and now finally the results are coming, and people can know me as Dinara Safina. ” Safina has made it to two great event finals, in the 2008 French and in this year’s Australian Open, and won a silver medal in the Beijing Olympic Games. Clearly, family isn’t the only connection Safina and her brother share. Both of their DNA burns with competitive fire. Safin has held the distinction for years of being a hot-tempered player on court. When he lost his temper, he would break a racket(球拍). Safina is as emotionally explosive as her brother.

The Sydney Morning Herald, during the Australian Open, summed up Safina’s volatile(不稳定的) emotional state with the headline: “Safina goes from basket case to top of the world. ”
It’s not rare for a family to have two top tennis players. Safina’s father owns a tennis academy and her mother worked as a coach. “I had no choice but to become a tennis player, but I don’t mind being a tennis player, ”Safina said.
From this talented family she is also given one of her best weapons on court, her size. She is 1. 82 meters tall and weighs 70 kg. But it is hard work that led her to her recent success.

China celebrated its military confidence at sea on Thursday, when anniversary celebrations for the founding of its navy climaxed with a show of the warships and submarines(潜艇). The fleet parade(列队游行)off the eastern port city of Qingdao marks 60 years since the founding of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy.
Chinese President Hu Jintao announced the start of the naval parade of 25 naval vessels and 31 aircrafts
Thursday afternoon, including two of China’s nuclear-powered Long March submarines.
“China does need a stronger navy. Even if we can’t surpass the United States, a stronger navy can help to counter(对抗)that influence and protect China’s own interests, ” said Shi Yinhong, a professor of international relations at Renmin University in Beijing.
The PLA Navy has come from nothing to “a modern maritime(海上的)force capable of effectively defending national sovereignty(主权)and security”, the Liberation Army Daily said.
In a recent deployment(部署)into distant waters, Chinese warships have sailed to off the Somali coast to guard against pirates attacking merchant vessels.
But China’s naval modernization has far from erased a technological gap with the United States and other major powers.

We’re not suggesting that you should reach a permanent state called “happiness ”and remain there. But there are many ways to keep away from anxiety, anger, frustration and sadness. Here are some ideas to get you started. Choose the ones that work for you.
Practice mindfulness. Focus on the present. Instead of worrying about what you should do tomorrow while you’re having dinner with your family, focus on the here and now—the food, your families, the conversation.
Sing along. Studies find music activates parts of the brain that produce happiness. In one study older adults who listened to their choice of music during eye surgery had significantly lower heart rates and blood pressure than those who had silent surgery.
Go to sleep. We have become a nation of sleep-deprived citizens. Taking a daily nap or getting into bed at 8 p. m. at night with a good book and turning the light out an hour later can do more for your mood than any number of bubble baths or massages.
Make a list. There’s nothing like writing down your tasks to help you organize your thoughts and calm your anxiety. Checking off each item provides a great sense of fulfillment.
Visit a quiet place. Libraries, museums, gardens, and places of worship(礼拜场所)provide islands of peace and calm in today’s world. Find a quiet place near your house and make it your secret getaway.
Volunteer. Helping others enables you to put your own problems into perspective(客观判断力)and also provides social interaction. While happy people are more likely to help others, helping others increases your happiness. One study found that volunteer work enhanced all four aspects of well-being: happiness, life satisfaction, self-esteem and sense of control over life.
45. According to the passage, which of the following ways can keep you away from bad moods?
A. Staying with your family.
B. Having a lot of money.
C. Having enough sleep.
D. Travelling.
46. As stated in the text, ____________can reduce the risk of operation.
A. taking a nap when having surgery
B. finding a quiet place to perform surgery
C. listening to music when having surgery
D. keeping quiet when having surgery
47. Making a list of your tasks and checking them off can ________________yourself.
A. encourage B. satisfy
C. improve D. change
48. You’d better not go to ___________if you want to keep quiet and calm.
A. libraries B. churches
C. supermarkets D. gardens
