If you are earning money and doing some of your own shopping,you may want to enroll in (注冊(cè)) some well-known rewards programs at your favourite stores.Here are some of the most popular rewards programs.
   The Student Price Card (SPC)
   This is a card that all teens,aged 13 and up,should have in their wallet.It costs $10,but you will easily earn this back in savings from a wide variety of retailers (零售商) including 10% off at American Eagle,Urban Outfitters,Little Burgundy,Marble Slab and many more.
   SCENE
   This is perhaps one of the most popular rewards programs for teens,aged 14 and older.It's a pity that the SCENE program was dropped by Sport Check last fall.However,other participating retailers are mostly restaurants such as Harvey's and Swiss Chalet.Once you collect 1.000 points,you will receive a free movie.
   Starbucks
   For starters,the Starbucks Rewards program gives you a free drink on your birthday.It also offers you the convenience of paying with your phone,instead of cash,at the register (收銀機(jī)).You earn 2 stars for every $1 spent and after you collect 300 stars,you'll be upgraded to Gold Status where you can cash in 125 stars for free food and drink.You must be 15 or older to participate in the program.
   Air Miles
   This program recently dropped the minimum age requirement from 18 to 16,which is a win for teens,although some would like it even younger.Air Miles is now a very popular rewards program,and has many participating retailers.You can choose to save up for a free flight or use the cash option at stores such as Starbucks,Cineplex and Kernels Popcom.

  • 1.    Reading is a complex and crucial skill that impacts the youth's ability to perform as students.Therefore,it's important to develop reading skills during childhood.A team of researchers focused on the effect of whole-body learning in instruction,known as embodied learning.
        The research included 149 children,aged 5 to 6,who had just started school.They were divided into three groups:one that stood up and used their whole bodies to shape letter sounds;a seated group that shaped letter sounds with their hands and arms;and a control group that received traditional,seated instruction during which they wrote letters by hand.
        "Our research showed that children who used their whole bodies to shape the sounds of letters became twice as proficient at letter sounds that are more difficult to learn as those who received traditional instruction" says PhD student Linn Damsgaard of UCPH's Department of Nutrition,Exercise and Sports.
        With regard to difficult letter sounds,she adds, "There are many difficult letter sounds in Danish.These sounds are particularly important because once children become skilled at them,they will be better readers.
        Associate professor Jacob Wienecke,who led the study,explains,the primary goal is to learn more about which methods can be used to give beginner readers a good start.The idea is that if,through play and movement,we can learn where their strengths truly lie,we'll create a form of learning that combines reading with play,and that's truly positive."
        Previously,the researchers showed that the children felt more motivated by teaching methods which included physical movement.Jacob Wienecke hopes this will provide an opportunity to inspire teachers and school managers to prioritize movement across subjects.
        The study also investigated whether a direct effect of embodied learning could be found on children's reading of words.This was not possible,which might be due to the fact that the children were at such an early stage of their literacy development that they could not yet use their knowledge of letter sounds to read words.

    (1)What were the participants required to do in the study?

    A.To pick out difficult letter sounds in Danish.
    B.To learn new letters through repeated writing.
    C.To learn letter sounds using different approaches.
    D.To memorize some letter sounds as soon as possible.
    (2)How can embodied learning get children actively involved?

    A.By combining learning with games.
    B.By offering them chances to cooperate.
    C.By inspiring them to overcome difficulties.
    D.By explaining instructions to them patiently.
    (3)What does the underlined word "proficient" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

    A.terrible.
    B.skilled.
    C.delighted.
    D.fascinated.
    (4)What does Jacob expect of the research finding?

    A.Encouraging educators to apply it to teaching.
    B.Enabling researchers to carry out further studies.
    C.Urging schools to pay attention to physical exercise.
    D.Promoting harmonious teacher-student relationships.
    (5)What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?

    A.Children prefer learning step by step.
    B.Children are too little to use their knowledge smartly.
    C.Children lack enough practice to get fully improved.
    D.Children's learning still relies on adults' instruction.

  • 2.How to Work Out Your Worries by Writing
    Something troubling you?You should write about it!Research indicates that people who write about a difficult situation often show improved mental and physical health.
       (1)
    .It is a specific technique,and it's different from writing in a journal.The idea is to reflect honestly and thoughtfully on a particular challenge.
       Hundreds of studies over several decades have looked at the potential benefits of expressive writing.It can strengthen the immune system,including for people with illnesses such as flu,cancer and depression. (2)

       Expressive writing works because it allows you to make meaning out of a painful experience,experts say. (3)
    Then translating that experience into language forces you to organize your thoughts.And creating a narrative gives you a sense of control.
       But expressive writing isn't a magical cure-all solution. (4)
    .And people coping with a severe injury or depression may not find it useful to do on their own,without therapy (治療).
       (5)
    ?Thinking or talking about an event can lead to reflecting,where you become lost in your emotions.Writing forces you to slow down.The mere act of labeling a feeling—of putting words to an emotion—can lessen the nervous activity in the threat area of the brain.Writing can increase someone's acceptance of his experience,and acceptance is calming.

    A.Why write
    B.What if you don't write
    C.It can also help improve mood,sleep and memory
    D.Expressive writing gave people the courage to face fears
    E.It shouldn't be used as a replacement for other treatments
    F.The first important step is to recognise what it is that is bothering you
    G.Psychologists refer to writing about an unpleasant experience as "expressive writing"

  • 3.At some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible.However,chances are that you don't act on your impulse (沖動(dòng)),but let it pass instead You know that to commit the action is wrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.
       One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat.Unlike many other taboos,fat is a topic that Americans talk about constantly.It's not taboo to talk about fat;it's taboo to be fat.The "in" look is thin,not fat.In the work world,most companies prefer youthful-looking executives to sell their image as well as their products to the public.The thin look is associated with youth,vigor and success.The fat person,on the other hand,is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy,self-discipline and self-respect.In an image-conscious society like the US,thin is "in" but fat is "out".
       It's not surprising that millions of Americans have become crazy about staying slim and "in shape".The pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not,however,the only reason for America's fascination with diet and exercise.Recent research has shown the importance of diet and exercise for personal health.As in most technologically developed nations,the life style of North Americans has changed dramatically during the course of the last century.Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand.Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point.As a result of inactivity,people's bodies can easily become weak and vulnerable (易受攻擊的)to disease.In an effort to avoid such a fate,millions of Americans are spending more of their time exercising.

    A.unacceptable in people's eyes
    B.popular with people
    C.favorable impression left on other people

    (2)According to the text we can conclude in American society "being fat"

    A.hasn't long been a taboo
    B.will always remain a taboo
    C.may no longer be a taboo some day
    D.is not considered a taboo by most people
    (3)In the US,thin is "in" but fat is "out" most probably mean

    A.thin is "lazy" but fat is "kind"
    B.thin is "old" but fat is "youthful"
    C.thin is "unsuccessful" but fat is "successful"
    D.thin is "popular" but fat is "unpopular"
    (4)Why are so many Americans exercising more?
