26、It is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challenges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.

How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.

Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.

Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.

27、In a study conducted to show bottled water’s effect in Barcelona, it was established that it cost more when people used bottled water instead of tap water. The study found that if all people in Barcelona were to use bottled water, it would result in 3,500 times more resources being used than tap water. Research also found that, despite significant investment in cleansing Barcelona’s tap water, most people preferred bottled water. Besides bottled water’s impact on resources, researchers also found it do more harm to nature. They concluded that bottled water’s impact on ecosystems is 1,400 times higher than tap water’s.

As reported, this research is the first of its kind to examine bottled water’s impact in Barcelona. Although the study was only conducted in one city, the results could be copied in other developed countries. In most countries, the cost of tap water is lower than that of bottled water.

According to the study, drinking bottled water in Barcelona almost does not have any health benefit. “Health reasons don’t support the wide use of bottled water. Yes, strictly speaking, drinking tap water is worse for the locals’ health, but when you weigh both, what you gain from bottled water is extremely small. It’s quite obvious that the environmental influence of bottled water is higher compared with that of tap water,” said a researcher.

The researcher says that this study may help change people’s idea about bottled water, and argues that more has to be done in terms of policy. Many people want to use bottled water due to attractive marketing campaigns by bottled water companies. “We could have more education campaigns to make the public aware that the health gains from drinking bottled water are minor compared with the environmental impacts,” said the researcher.

【1】What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us about bottled water?

A．Its investment.

B．Its wide use.

C．Its effect.

D．Its consumers.

【2】What is the researcher’s attitude towards the wide use of bottled water?

A．Positive.

B．Worried.

C．Uninterested.

D．Unknown.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Many people care little about environment.

B．People have wrong ideas about drinking bottled water.

C．The government is responsible for popularity of bottled water.

D．Drinking bottled water has minor effect on the environment.

【4】In which part of a newspaper may this text appear?

A．Entertainment.

B．Education.

C．Health.

D．Environment.

The opening show helped to express the host’s warm hospitality and its wish to unite the world through sports. Following an opening performance about the autumn equinox (秋分), one of China’s 24 solar terms that celebrates the harvest season, over 50,000 audiences burst into cheers as Xi declared the opening of the Hangzhou Games, making the Zhejiang provincial capital the third Chinese city to host the continental sporting gala, following Beijing in 1990 and Guangzhou in 2010.

29、The benefits (好处) of keeping a journal (日记)

If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it. 【1】

It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? 【2】 But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer. I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer (转存) the idea to the journal in my computer. It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and ideas you’ve got. 【3】

【4】 After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas (原始想法) you had in the past might have been realized today.

It helps you expand (扩展) your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it 【5】 In the end, you will expand your ideas.
