That is, you need to imagine success strongly, and then you will succeed. Believing in good things can help people face difficult challenges. Some people believe that success will come to them, and this gives them the courage to move a 2 . But it can also help them feel better about their lives. They e 3 success, and so they feel successful. This, I think, is close to the placebo (安慰剂) effect. If you a 4 medicinal herbs (草药) to your diet to improve your energy level, you may feel that your energy level is i 5 , even if the herbs turn out to be just cabbage. In studies of new medicines, researchers often give some p 6 sugar pills and say the pills are medicine. This helps them find out how well the medicine truly works. Many people do s 7 things in their daily lives. College students often choose a special shirt or baseball cap to wear during exams. They feel it will bring them good luck. Here in China, one of the newest placebos is “Einstein’s brain (爱因斯坦脑). ” People are t 8 that if they buy one, they will develop a brain like the famous s 9 . Do buyers really believe this? Not very likely. But by “having” a super-quick brain, they may feel relaxed and, as a result, think more c 10 during exams. But there is a condition — you must have studied enough first and you’ve worked hard enough. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 Many of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts (宇航员). H 1 , the real life is that only a few will make it. But does that m 2 you’ll never get the chance to work in space? Not necessarily. In f 3 , some of the space jobs are not only for a 4 and they all sound just as cool. One of the m 5 interesting space jobs that you may have never heard of is “chief sniffer (探嗅员)”. NASA has already had a chief sniffer c 6 George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials and components (部件) before they are used in spaceship (宇宙飞船). A spaceship is of small size and high temperature (温度), which makes smells stronger inside of it. And once a spaceship is launched, astronauts “have no way of escaping” unpleasant smells. More importantly, smelling objects can help identify (识别) dangerous chemicals (化学物质) that could be harmful for astronauts’ health. Another job is “space tour guide”. Being a space tour guide needs rich k 7 of astronomy, astrophysics, geography and history to help passengers get the most out of their journey. Tour guides also need to be excellent storytellers so that passengers can e 8 the true wonder of space travel. Astronauts often s 9 weeks or even months in a capsule (太空舱) with the same group of people, which is why a “space psychologist (心理学家)” is also needed to help astronauts overcome mental challenges like feeling bored and l 10 . 根据短文内容及首字母提示, 填写所缺单词, 使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。 Experts say there will be big changes in the jobs we will do in the next 10 to 20 years. Choose your future job c 1 —some jobs might disappear (消失)! These days, the internet is making a big difference. People choose to do a lot of shopping o 2 , because it can save much time and people needn’t go outside. As a result, many people a 3 there won’t be many shops and that there won’t be many shop cashiers. Bank workers might also l 4 their jobs in the future. As we know, people have begun to stop using the traditional way to p 5 . In the future, taxi d 6 might disappear, too. We can already see some people travel w 7 nobody to drive in a car. There may not be as many jobs for builders as there are t 8 . Soon 3D printers will make p 9 of buildings in just a few hours, and they might finish them all in one day. You may w 10 about your future job, but if you choose wisely and go for it, everything will be OK. Almost every day, we hear the topic of health. But what is health? “Health” m 1 eating well, getting e 2 exercise and having a healthy lifestyle. Here are some useful rules. Eat different kinds of food, especially fruit and v 3 . We all know that eating them keeps us healthy, but many of us only eat our favourite food. Remember that we can only get w 4 our body needs by eating all sorts of food. Drink water and milk most often. Everyone knows that water is important. Besides water, kids also need plenty of calcium (钙) to grow s 5 bones, which is rich in milk. Every day, you should drink at least three cups of milk i 6 you want to be strong. You’d better try to have drinks with little sugar. Pay a 7 to your body. When you are eating, notice how your body feels. When your stomach is full, s 8 eating. Eating too much makes you become fat and unhealthy. Limit (限制) the amount of time you spend in watching TV and p 9 computer games. Try to spend more time doing s 10 , like running, swimming and so on. On the first day of school, children can be very nervous. However, sometimes parents are more nervous than the students themselves. A new British survey s 1 that one in three parents are worried that their children will not make friends when they start school. The survey was carried out by Action for Children, an organization in the UK. They questioned more than 2,000 parents and f 2 that parents are more likely to care about their children’s ability to make friends than their lessons. 33% of the parents put not making friends on top of the list of their worries about their children, w 3 just 11% of the parents said their main worry is that their children will not be able to keep up with the schoolwork. Everyone needs friends. They can bring h 4 and hope in our lives. However, the ability to make friends is d 5 from person to person. To some people, making friends is easy and to others it’s very difficult. We all have the ability to make friends. U 6 , many people never reach their potential (潜力). Making friends is a skill, and the first step in developing that skill is to know how to get along w 7 others. It’s n 8 for some children to feel nervous if they don’t know how to get on well with others in a new environment. However, parents and teachers should h 9 them learn some basic social skills such as sharing, helping, teamwork and communication. It’s necessary for parents to teach their child to know the i 10 of having friends. Let him or her know having hundreds of online friends is not the same as having a friend he or she can connect and be with in person every day. Growing up is a c 1 journey. As we grow, we may face many new things and learn many new skills every day. At school, we often take part in various group work to improve our communication skills. Besides, reading is another key ability for our development. Our teachers often r 2 us that reading is n 3 for our growth, so we should keep the habit t 4 our whole lives. As we grow older and start to look ahead, we also begin to think about our future. We all want to work in a big c 5 and make an e 6 to do our work well. We know that a good p 7 , such as honesty, friendliness and courage, as well as strong leadership, can bring us many b 8 in our career. With these dreams in our hearts, we often share our hopes with our parents. Knowing that growing up is never easy, we promise to keep trying and never give up, even when things go b 9 what we expect. We also hope to c 10 better chances for ourselves in the future, and replace worries with confidence. The son came home l 1 , after the time he had promised. His mum was w 2 .

Join a club or a group, for talking to those who like the same things as you do is much e 2 . Or join someone in some activities. Many people are n 3 when talking to new people. After all, meeting  strangers  means facing  the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.

What I found the most amazing was how the people of the rainforest use the plants and animals around them to live. Perhaps this was how e 9 used to live, but the way to live in today’s world has changed a lot. I enjoy the school trip and I h 10 to visit the garden again. 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。 A teenage girl couldn’t stand (忍受) her parents’ family rules, so she left home. She wanted to be famous.
