I love reading. At age 6, I could be found reading Harry Potter, a difficult book for a 6-year-old but I 【小题1】(enjoy) it all the same. 【小题2】 soon became obvious that spelling for me was not difficult and I had a wide vocabulary. This is one way I benefited 【小题3】 reading at such a young age.

My advice for you as English learners would be to read the English novels 【小题4】 you have often read in your native language. Reading novels is a great way of 【小题5】(improve) your vocabulary and spelling without realising it as you are absorbed（全神贯注的）in the storyline. You know the sorry well, so its 【小题6】(usual) easy to follow it in English even if you do not understand every word.

This is another essential（基本的）point: it’s not necessary 【小题7】(understand) every word. If you understand the 【小题8】(mean) of the sentence, each word is not necessarily important. Quite often, if a word is used several times in a text, you’ll gradually get an idea of 【小题9】 it means.

Give it a try. If you like reading yon could open up 【小题10】 whole new world of literature.

People like to be considered humorous, but few of us【小题1】( actual) have the sense of humor we hope we have. Some people, on the【小题2】hand, may wonder why we should bother to be humorous. These people, I am afraid, do not know the power of humor.

A sense of humor can help you become an【小题3】(admire)speaker. We can notice that there is no great speaker in the world who is not humorous. One or two humorous remarks can make the audience laugh, making your lecture 【小题4】 enjoyable one. A sense of humor can help you win a lot of friends. A lot of people will【小题5】(attract) around you if you are humorous. A sense of humor can help to ease the【小题6】(tense) between people. When people are about to quarrel, a humorous remark【小题7】(lead) to laughter can help settle the problem.

There are many ways【小题8】( learn)how to be humorous. Being together with someone who is humorous is one way. Reading some books which contain humor or humorous【小题9】( story) is another. But the most important way is 【小题10】we should try to be optimistic about our life at present and, moreover, our life in the future.

Does your friend’s good news fill you with envy instead of happiness?

Jealousy (妒忌) is a normal emotion 【小题1】 can help us learn more about what’s important to us and what we want in life, but it can be 【小题2】 (harm) if left unchecked.

We hope these tips will help if you’re struggling with feelings of envy.

★ Face the feelings

Take notice the next time you feel envy, and ask yourself what’s making you jealous. Try to get to 【小题3】 root of the issue.

Your envy might 【小题4】 (cause) by a particular person or topic. Maybe it’s a close friend that you get jealous of, or perhaps you turn green when someone 【小题5】 (achieve) a specific goal that you desire. Face your jealousy directly and look within to learn 【小题6】 it says about your values and self-worth.

★ Remember it’s you, not them

It can be easy to let jealousy take over and take our resentment out on the person we’re jealous of, but it’s important 【小题7】 (remember) that this is your issue, and your friend isn’t hurting you on purpose. It might help to be honest with them and address it instead of 【小题8】 (let) it fester(恶化).

★ Turn envy into 【小题9】 (motivate)

As uncomfortable as envy can be, it can also be a powerful force for change. If you envy your friend’s relationship, it might mean you should take action to improve 【小题10】(you).
