　　A Walk in the Garden

　　One day, Lily walked with her mother and came to a pretty garden. Lily looked in. She saw clean roads and beautiful flowers. She turned to her mother and said, “Mum, come and look at this pretty garden. I hope I can open the gate and walk in.”

　　The gardener heard what Lily said, and kindly invited them to come into the garden. Her mother thanked him, and then said, “Lily, if I take you into this garden, be sure not to touch anything in it.” Along the roads, Lily looked at everything, but she walked carefully so that she didn’t touch anything she saw.

　　The gardener was much pleased with what Lily did, so he showed her the seeds and told her the names of different flowers and plants.

　　While Lily was enjoying the beauty of a flower, a boy came to the gate. Finding it locked, he shook it hard. But it would not open. Then he shouted, “Let me in! Let me in! Will you not let me in this garden”

　　“No!” said the gardener. “I will not let you in, because yesterday when I let you in, you pulled some of my fruit and messed up my garden.” The boy felt sorry and went slowly away.

　　 Have you ever eaten a whole packet of biscuits when you were planning to only have one Or have you stayed up much later than you planned, or even all night, having “just one more” try in a game Both of these are examples of mindlessness. When we live this way, we are not fully awake and not fully living our lives.

　　When we are mindful, we are different. We are conscious of our thoughts, our actions and what is happening around us. We might notice a beautiful sunset or really listen carefully to what a friend is saying, rather than planning what we’re going to say next. We are also clear about our own feelings and thoughts. So we are consciously deciding what to pay attention to, we are not worrying about the past or planning for the future and we are not trying to control or stop our thoughts or feelings—we’re just noticing them.

　　For most people, life is getting busier and more stressful(有壓力的). Technology means

　　that we always have something to do and there isn’t much opportunity to just “be”. People are often doing two or three things at the same time: texting while watching TV, or even looking at phones while walking.

　　Research shows that mindfulness reduces stress. It can help you to focus, to have a better memory and to think more clearly. It can also help you to manage pain better and to improve sleep, and it can even help you to lose weight because you won’t eat that whole packet of biscuits without thinking!

　　A very simple technique that you can try right now is to close your eyes for a few minutes and count how many sounds you can hear. This will help you to focus on what is happening right now. Another technique is to focus on a piece of food. Instead of eating it without thinking, notice how it feels and how it tastes.

　　Both of these techniques help you to slow down and focus on the present moment, as Jon Kabat Zinn says, mindfulness is: “Paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and without judging. ”

　　1.Why does the writer ask two questions in the first paragraph

　　A. To predict the influence of stress.B. To describe the modern way of life.

　　C. To introduce the topic of mindfulness.D. To show the importance of healthy habits.

　　2.The underlined words “be conscious of” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “ ”.

　　A. be ready forB. know something well

　　C. be careful withD. take something seriously

　　3.Which of the following is an example of mindfulness

　　A. Listening to the birds singing with patience.B. Having potato chips as much as you’d like to. C. Watching a movie with a large box of popcorn.

　　D. Taking pictures of flowers when walking in a park.

　　五、回答問題

　　 Who do you want to thank most Maybe your parents or other family members. But for some of the most successful people in the world, their answer is the teacher in their childhood. The teachers behind famous people

　　Can you imagine a life without the personal computer Well, without two of Bill Gates’ high school teachers, we could live a life like that today. Gates’ maths teacher, Fred Wright, asked him to push himself just a little bit harder. And his drama teacher, Anne Stephens, helped him become the star of the school play. Gates thanked his teachers—without them, there would be no Microsoft. An adult you can trust

　　For some children, teachers are the only positively influential people in their lives. Antwone Fisher, a best-selling writer, grew up with step-parents, and didn’t have many adults that he could trust. But his primary school teacher, Mrs Profitt, was the first adult he ever trusted. “She spoke to all of us with respect. I think that it was Mrs Profitt’s respect that made all the difference in my life.” A day to say “Thank you”

　　There are thousands more stories like this, from famous people to ordinary people all across the world. That’s why UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) calls on people to celebrate World Teachers’ Day on October 5 every year. UNESCO wants us to remember that education is a basic human right and every child should have free education. UNESCO also hopes to train 69 million new teachers by 20xx so that everyone can go to school, because, sadly, 264 million children in the world today are not in school because there aren’t enough teachers.

　　If you have a teacher, you’re one of the lucky ones. One day, you’ll probably look back at your life, your success, the dreams you’ve made come true or the difficulty you’ve gone through. It’s likely that you’ll find a teacher whose words have helped you achieve these things. Perhaps you already know who that teacher is. Why not find him or her and say “thank you” next World Teachers’ Day

　　1.Who asked Bill Gates to push himself just a little bit harder

　　2.What made all the difference in Antwone Fisher’s life

　　3.When is World Teachers’ Day
