Black Friday
Everyone likes to shop for gifts for the holiday season, but few people know the history of holiday shopping. While people have heard of Black Friday; most do not know its origins. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving (感恩节).On this day most retail stores open their doors very early---some as early as 4 am. In addition, they provide their customers with great discounts on products. With this in mind, it is clear to see why so many shoppers buy many of their
Christmas gifts on Black Friday.
Black Friday is not as old as many people think. In fact, it is believed that the first Black Friday was held in the 1970s in the USA. It was a day when stores decided to mark the start of the holiday season. In order to draw more customers, they offered great discounts. All products sold very well. This large success resulted in the name Black Friday, it was so named because the stores were "in the black". This financial term means the stores made a lot of money. However, it was not until around 2002 that Black Friday really started to gain in popularity. Today in the USA,
countless advertisers proudly announce their Black Friday sales. They hope to attract shoppers
into their stores.
Black Friday is a day when many shoppers in the USA go out and buy gifts, even though Christmas Eve is still a more popular day to shop. Thanks to the Internet, it is now possible to get some excellent Black Friday deals online. So if you don't want to get to the stores by 4 am, this is
the perfect way to still get items at reduced prices.

Living in Brazil (巴西）and Switzerland
Moving to a different city may seem difficult. You have to change schools and get used to your new home. But you can always go back to that city to visit. When you move to another
country, things are different. However, difficult as it may be, the experience can be rewarding.
My dad, a Brazilian, is really funny and can make friends quickly. My mom, a Swiss, is usually quiet and a bit shy. She likes to be organized,but my dad never makes plans. She enjoys
staying home, but my dad always wants to go out. Swiss and Brazilian---what a mix!
After my parents got married, they moved to Switzerland. There they had my brother and me.
When I was two, we moved to Brazil. During my childhood we visited Switzerland every year.
Many people ask me where I prefer to live: Brazil or Switzerland. It's really hard to answer because I love both countries. Brazil is a big country with many states and people. There are multiple dialects and many types of foods. People here have beautiful smiles and are always happy,
even if they are poor. In the south the climate is cool, but in the north It's hot and humid.
Switzerland, on the other hand, is small but beautiful and clean. There are four languages in that tiny country. People there are very different from Brazilians: they are wealthy, independent, and organized. The food is delicious, and of course, the famous Swiss chocolate is great, and the
climate is dry and cool.
I love both countries. In Switzerland, it's pleasant, calm, and peaceful everywhere. I enjoyed
my stay there very much. But now I am happy here in Brazil. I feel excited and at home.

More Than One Kind of Intelligence
①You may have heard people mention "IQ'' when talking about how smart someone is. IQ stands for "intelligence quotient ( 智 商 )" It can help predict how well someone may do
academically.
②IQ is just one measure of our abilities. There are many other kinds of intelligence. For example, spatial (空间的） intelligence is the ability to think in 3D. Musical intelligence is the
ability to recognize rhythm and tone. Abilities in sports and arts are other types of intelligence.
③Another important type of intelligence is emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence (EQ for short) is the ability to understand, use, and manage our emotions. Just as a high IQ can predict top test scores, a high EQ can predict success in social and emotional situations. EQ helps
us build strong relationships, make good decisions, and deal with difficult situations.
④One way to think about EQ is that it is part of being people-smart. Understanding and getting along with people help us become successful in our lives. In fact, some studies show that
EQ is more important than IQ when it comes to doing well in school or being successful at work.
⑤Some people are born with good EQ skills; others need to work on them. Everyone can get better if they know what to do. Being able to notice and label everyday feelings is the most basic EQ skills. Being aware of emotions helps us manage our own emotions. It also helps us
understand how others feel.

The Princess Disease
Have you ever heard of the princess disease? It is a terrible disease.26. It wastes away at one's social life and people's tolerance. People with this disease think they are better than
everyone else, without a real reason.
Jin is a girl who suffers from this disease.27. She thinks she is better looking than her friends and most people she has met. It is, as far as she is concerned, a well-known fact that she
dresses better, sings better, and dances better than most people in her school, too.
So is Jin justified in believing that she is better than everyone else? 28. Of course, she thinks this is because the singing coach hates her, since the coach has bad skin and is jealous of her. She is good at sports, but she isn't the strongest, fastest, or even the best at any of their school's events.29. She, again thinks it was because of the "haters". After losing, she
pretended she'd just run for fun and it was no big deal, but in fact it was a huge deal to her.
Jin definitely has the disease. The treatment is to stop being so mean and get a little modesty.
30. She might even get rid of this disease if she tries hard enough.
A. She is too proud of herself.
B. Jin is very popular.
C. Then things might become better for her.
D. She sings well, but not well enough to be a lead singer.
E. It threatens to push one’s friends away.
F. She ran for class president, but came in third
