• 1．Last week，our forum（論壇）asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using English.We didn't expect to get so many posts!Here are some of our favorites，to remind us that some of the English we learn in the classroom is rather different from the English in the outside world.
  

  Yancy	People say that the British always play safe with what they eat.Not true!I went to a summer school in Manchester and my English teacher was called Maggie.One day，a different teacher took our class.He told us that Maggie couldn't teach that day COZ she had a frog in her throat.Poor Maggie-but why did she try to eat such a big frog？ 135 comments
  Sophie	When I first visited New York，I went to a downtown shopping centre to buy some winter boots.At the information desk at the entrance，I asked a lady where the shoe shop was.She said that it was on the first floor.So I went up to the first floor，but I couldn't find any shoes.I decided to leave.When I was looking for the exit，I saw that shoes were actually sold downstairs on the ground floor，not the first floor.Why did she give me the wrong information？ 128 comments
  Zheng Xu	The British must have really high standards.I was part of a student exchange programme between a university in England and my university in China.I spent days preparing and writing my first English paper.I knew I had done a good job and was looking forward to getting a positive comment.When I got the paper back，I found my teacher had written the comment "Not bad!" Not bad？But there weren't any errors in my paper. 85 comments

• 2．These days，football is one of the most popular sports in the world.Given that Neil Armstrong wanted to take a football to the Moon，we could even say that it is also the most popular sport out of this world!The history of the game goes back over two thousand years to Ancient China.It was then known as cuju （kick ball），a game using a ball of animal skins with hair inside.Goals were hung in the air.Football as we know it today started in Great Britain，where the game was given new rules.
     That football is such a simple game to play is perhaps the basis of its popularjye.aiy.It is also a game that is very cheap to play.You don't need expensive equipment；even the ball doesn't have to cost much money.All over the world you can see kids playing to their hearts' content with a ball made of plastic bags.
     Another factor behind football's global popularity is the creativity and excitement on the field.It is fun enough to attract millions of people.You do not have to be a fan to recognize the skill of professional players or to feel the excitement of a game ending with a surprising twist.
     What's more，football has become one of the best ways for people to communicate：it does not require words，but everyone understands jye.ai.It breaks down walls and brings people together on and off the field.
     "Some people believe football is a matter of life and death， ..." said Bill Shankly，the famous footballer and manager. "I can tell you with certainty it is much，much more important than that." This might sound funny，but one only has to think about the Earth to realize that our planet is shaped like a football.
  
  （1）What can we know from paragraph one？

  
  A．Some people like to play football on the Moon.
  B．The game called cuju was given new rules today.
  C．Cuju is different from football as we know it today.
  D．Many people like playing a ball made of plastic bags.
  （2）What can be inferred from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Football is round.
  B．Football is more than just a sport.
  C．Our planet is shaped like a football.
  D．What Bill Shankly said sounds funny.
  （3）What's the author's purpose in writing the passage？

  
  A．To talk about the history of football.
  B．To express his/her love of football.
  C．To explain why football is such a popular game.
  D．To prove that he/she is a professional football fan.

• 3．Have you ever noticed that some people can eat what they want and stay in shape，while others carefully watch what they eat and still put on weight？How annoying!However，scientists are beginning to believe that some people get the ability to stay thin from their parents.
     Scientists say that when some people eat，their bodies will naturally store the excess energy from food as fat.These people gain weight if they eat more than they need each day.Meanwhile，other people eat more than they need but their bodies are able to "burn off" the extra food without making fat，so they rarely have weight problems.
     To show that this is true，scientists have experimented on laboratory mice.They gave the mice a special diet with a lot of fat.Some mice gained weight while the other mice stayed thin，even though both groups of mice ate the same amount of food and got the same amount of exercise.Scientists concluded that weight gain seemed to be influenced by genetic （基因的） factors.They also believe they have now identified the genes that may cause this tendency.These genes，according to the scientists，get passed down the generations.Armed with this knowledge，they believe it may be possible to develop medicines that can target the genes and stop people from gaining weight.
     The study of weight gain is becoming more important as the numbers of people who are overweight continues to grow.In the United States，over seventy percent of the population have weight problems.This means they are at risk of illness such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
     Current medicines for weight control do not work very well because they can have serious side effects，such as heart problems.However，it takes a long time to develop and thoroughly test new drugs.Therefore，despite this breakthrough in the study of weight-loss drugs，scientists and health professionals all agree that currently the best way to control weight gain is to have a healthy，balanced diet and an active lifestyle with daily exercise.This will not only help people avoid becoming overweight，but also help them stay healthy and energetic.
  
  （1）According to the scientists，some people

  .
  A．a(chǎn)re able to stay thin because of genetic factors
  B．can eat what they want and stay healthy forever
  C．usually keep doing exercise to lose their weight
  D．don't eat anything every day but still put on weight
  （2）Some people don't need to worry about weight problems because

  .
  A．they eat many vegetables
  B．they eat less than others
  C．they don't store any energy from food as fat
  D．they can burn off the extra food without making fat
  （3）What can we learn from the passage？

  
  A．Fewer people will have weight problems in the future.
  B．People with weight problems may suffer from heart trouble.
  C．We now have good medicine for people with weight problems.
  D．The result of the experiments on mice and humans are different.
  （4）What does the last paragraph imply？

  
  A．Current medicine solve weight problems well.
  B．We should exercise regularly and eat properly.
  C．Taking exercise every day may cause heart problems.
  D．Testing new drugs is hard because of the side effects.

• 4．Developing a positive attitude through positive thinking is good for both your physical and mental health.Understandably，it's not always possible to keep positive during certain situations，but it is possible to develop the skills to have positive thinking.（1）

  
     Surround yourself with positive people
     Being around people who always see the bad side of something will only make you feel bad. （2）

  It's hard to be negative when everyone around you is positive!
     Learn to deal with negative thoughts
     （3）

  To become a successful positive thinker you'll need to learn to know the negative words you tell yourself.Words such as never and always are known to carry a negative mental effect.Instead of telling yourself， "I always make mistakes"，change your words to， "I make mistakes sometimes but I always learn from them."
     Set goals
     It's much easier to be positive when you have set goals in mind.Setting goals will help you to deal with the difficulties.
     Take responsibility for your actions

  It's a wonderful way to start and finish each day!
     Making decisions to change your way of thinking—from negative to positive—is a very effective step to ensuring success in your life.Surround yourself with other like-minded people，and you'll gain all the rewards of a happy life.
  
  A.Don't make some complaints.
  B.One of the secrets to successful people is that they take responsibility for their behavior.
