Before that I was average at school but after that, because Melissa Crawford was smart, and I got all the right answers, I got put in all the smart kids groups.From then I did really well at school because it was believed by the teachers that I would and I also got grouped with the smart kids. This experience that occurred at my primary school shows just how important the Pygmalion effect is in terms of being around mentors(导师) that expect that you're going to do well and also being around people who are smart.The Pygmalion effect is one principle you want to use if you want to make money fast. Have mentors that expect you will make money fast and as an extra boost hang around, copy and learn from other people who are also making money fast.Yesterday this site had over 5,000 unique visitors and the traffic to it is increasing all the time. A year ago I contacted a group of people who got lots of traffic in their sites and I learnt from them. Truthfully I don't know if they expected me to start getting decent traffic to websites but I imagined they did.So there you have it—the Pygmalion effect.P．S. My grammar and spelling are not that great nowadays but that's actually completely irrelevant(不相关的) when it comes to getting lots of visitors to your site.【语篇解读】　文章通过作者自己的经历告诉我们皮格马利翁效应的神奇力量。

I seek friends whose qualities illuminate (照亮) me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.When I was in the eighth grade，I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious”about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school，but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say, “Let's start with a train whistle today.”We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too，were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London，I had a friend.He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things.We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We_gave_London_to_each_other.For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears，some times in a funnyway, in the other's dreams. She and I agree that，at certain times，we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments，I often think, “Yes, I must tell...”We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep.One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of psychologist，who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.1. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to________．A. become serious about her studyB. go to her friend's house regularlyC. learn from her classmates at schoolD. share poems and stories with her friend2.

A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 1 Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 2Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 3 Carefully read or listen to information inorder to fully understand it.Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 4 Evaluate“scientific”statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术)．5 Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.A．Make choices that are right for you.B．The goal of an ad is to sell you something.C．Be sure to work through the critical questions.D．And examine the findings of the original research.E．Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.F．Be aware that information may also be incorrectly explained by an author's point of view.G．The following suggestions can help you sort through the health information you receive from common sources.【答案】1－5GDFBAⅢ.完形填空A Toronto man is offering a free round­the­world air ticket to the right woman.But 1 apply.You must be named Elizabeth Gallagher and have a Canadian 2 ．Jordan Axani，28，said he and his then girlfriend，Elizabeth Gallagher，booked heavily discounted round­the­world air tickets in May，but their 3 ended and he did not want her ticket to 4 ．The ticket had a strict no­transfer(不可转让) 5 ，but since passport information was not required when 6 ，any Canadian Elizabeth Gallagher can 7 it.“I just want to see the ticket go to good use and for someone to 8 a lot of joy，”said Axani.He posted his 9 on a social networking website，and received thousands of e-mails，including thirty from actual Elizabeth Gallaghers with the 10 passports，“More 11 ，there are hundreds of Canadians who are interested in 12their name to Elizabeth Gallagher，”Axani said.“It was absolutely out of 13 ，thousands of e­mails，people around the world 14 their stories of travel.”Axani wrote in his post that he is not 15 anything in return and that the woman who uses the 16 ticket can choose to either travel with him or 17 the ticket and travel on her own.The 18 is scheduled to start on December 21 in New York City and continue on to Milan，Prague，Paris，Bangkok and New Delhi before 19 in Toronto on January 8.He said the 20 woman will be announced on the website and the trip will be shared online.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。

The programme was so exciting that the children kept their eyes on the screen.[高考题型练习提能力]Ⅰ.阅读理解I once saw a TV programme at college about a scientist who used “drift bottles (漂流瓶)” to mark ocean currents.It was a rather boring programme.I was more interested to read an article about someone who found a bottle on a beach with a messageinside.Like the drift bottles, it had been thrown into the sea－but 21 years before.I decided to find out more about such bottles，and I started work on this intriguing (非常有趣的)research.An early message in a bottle was thrown into the sea by Christopher Columbus during a terrible storm.He wrote about his discovery of America and expected that his message would be sent to the Queen of Spain.He wanted the news to reach her, but he thought he might be drowned (淹死) in the storm.In fact, he survived but the bottle was never found.I would be excited to find a message in a bottle，but in the 16th century, it could be dangerous.In those days, the British Navy (海军) used messages in bottles to send information about the enemy.When Queen Elizabeth Ⅰ found out that a boatman had opened a bottle containing one of these secret messages, she created a new job, Uncorker of Ocean Bottles.I was amazed to learn that anyone else who opened a bottle could be sentenced to death.It seems very strange to us now.A long time ago, before dating websites existed to help people find partners, a sailor in Sweden put this message in a bottle－“To someone beautiful and far away.” It was found by a young woman in Sicily.She answered the message－“I am not beautiful, but it seems a miracle (奇迹) I found your message.” They began to write letters to each other，and eventually got married.Nowadays it's easy to communicate with anyone anywhere in the world, but I think people will still go on throwing bottles with messages into the ocean and guessing where the winds and the waves will carry them.And how romantic it would be to find a bottle with a message inside!【语篇解读】本文是说明文。

课时分层作业(九)Ⅰ.阅读理解When I was a child growing up in Ohio, the butterflies would sometimes pass through on their way to Mexico. And it was awesome to see football fields full of them－and I wanted to revisit that on a larger scale. I knew I had to go to see the migration(迁徙) in Mexico.But I was on a budget. I didn't want to rent a car in Mexico or take a bus to Valle de Bravo, the starting point for most butterfly adventures, so I called the guys at The Muddy Boot, travel experts in Mexico who can make almost anything happen at a reasonable rate.And so, on January 2, I found myself in The Muddy Boot van (面包车) , being driven for two hours from Mexico City to Valle de Bravo, a lovely town on a volcanic lake which is a central point for the butterfly journeys. I booked a two­night stay at the Hotel Rodavento, an all eco­friendly hotel with individual wooden houses spreading throughout the forest and around a lake.The first sanctuary (保护区) I visited was Piedra Herrada, a popular destination, as it is only 40 minutes away from Valle de Bravo. The climb up is tiring. It is advisable to hire a horse. But the horse cannot take you all the way, and there is some hiking in thin air, so you must be patient, drink a lot of water, and be in reasonably good shape.The walk is more than worth it though. As I struggled to catch my breath, I looked up and lost my breath again. At first glance, the trees had turned into different shapes, but on closer inspection, every inch of them was covered with butterflies.A few flew through the air (Most of them were not warm enough). As the sun rose, they began to come alive. Soon the air was filled with flying butterflies, transforming the forest into something magical and straight out of a fairy tale.【语篇解读】　本文是一篇日志形式的记叙文，作者讲述了自己为参观大规模的蝴蝶迁徙的美景而搭车前往墨西哥的一个城镇的故事。
