Saying "thank you" is probably the first thing most of us learn to do in a foreign language. After all, we're brought up to be kind and polite.
So, what exactly are you supposed to say when "thank you" is only the 20thmost popular way to express gratitude ? According to a recent report, 19 other ways of expressing gratitude finished ahead of "thank you" in a poll of 3,000 people.
Pollsters found almost half those asked preferred the more informal "cheers", while others liked to use such expressions as "ta", "great" and "nice one".
So, just what is the right form of words to express your thanks?
Luckily, the answer is in the language itself. "Cheers" is considered an informal way to say thank you. For example, when going for a drink with friends, a smile and a "cheers" by way of thanks is not only acceptable to the situation, it is also culturally _ .
"Ta" was the second-most popular expression of thanks, and is also commonly used in informal situations, along with phrases such as "nice one", and "wonderful".
Interestingly, one word that didn't make it into the top 20 was "thanks". But "thanks" can be useful, as it is able to bridge the divide between "thank you" and the downright relaxed "cheers".
Certain words can double as an expression of thanks as well as delight. For example, words like "awesome", "brilliant" and "you star" can tell both your pleasure at someone's action, as well as serving to express your thanks. If you are on the receiving end of a "new" thank you, you can reply with a simple "no problem", or "sure".
Of course, a simple wave, nod or smile may be all right. For example, if a car driver slows down to let you cross the road, simply raising your hand is enough to show that you are thankful for the driver's consideration.
Sometimes, formality is necessary, and "thank you" is still the best choice in such situations. But students should not worry about when exactly to use certain expressions.
Many people in western countries are worried that good manners are in decline . People are tired of seeing their acts of kindness and service pass without any feedback. So don't think that your "thank you" was useless or too formal. The chances are, if you said "thank you", you made someone's day.</s>We can tell from the result of the poll that _ .</s>there are many kinds of expressions of gratitude | people are worrying about politeness nowadays, "thank you" is the most popular expression of gratitude, there are more formal expressions of gratitude than informal ones |

About half an hour later, the conductor began to see the tickets. He came to the old man and said, 'Will you please show me your ticket?'

German scientists say that eating a little chocolate every day may keep you away from cardiovascular disease. The scientists have found that chocolate, especially dark chocolate , can help you cut down 39 percent of heart disease, including taking a very small amount . However, the study advises people not to eat too much chocolate, because too much chocolate is bad for our bodies. So the scientists advise people to eat small amount of chocolate instead of sugar or high-fat snacks.
Scientists said, "Dark chocolate shows the greatest effects, milk chocolate fewer , and white chocolate no effects." The results showed chocolate may cut down blood pressure, but they also say that further study is needed.
In the eight-year study, people's daily diet, exercise habits, and blood pressure were studied in 19,357 persons aged 35 to 65. They found that people who are an average of 7.5 grams of chocolate a day had a very lower chance of heart disease than those who ate much less chocolate , and average of 1.7 grams a day.</s>It took the scientists _ years to prove that small amount of chocolate is good for people.</s>8 | 35, 39, 65 |

Every time I came home from work at midnight, I often saw a shadow walking in our neighborhood. Was it "a night walking"? Someone walked alone in the dark, and this always made me afraid a lot.
I think it was "a sleep walker". So I never bothered it. But one night, when I walked past it quietly and quickly as usual, I heard a low voice.
"Do you often have to work at night?"
I was a little afraid. I looked around, but no one was nearby. I ran home as quickly as possible.
Later on, I heard it was a neighbor, an old man who has been living alone at home. He's NOT a sleep walker. He enjoys having a walk at night. So I seldom see him in the neighborhood in the day.
It's said that he was a soldier many years ago. He has two children, a son and a daughter. His son has a family in Shanghai. His daughter went abroad, in Sydney. He has been living alone since his wife died several years ago. Without any children living with him, he feels lonely and helpless.

Even kids know that we should wait for the traffic light to turn green before crossing a road, but not everybody follows this basic rule.
"Chinese style road crossing" has become a hot expression recently. Chinese people "cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd", said a post on Sina Weibo.
A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people ran red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
Many people say that they jaywalk because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University.
The team did research on people's waiting times at different road crossings from 2008 to 2010. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience.
"People are likely to run the red light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear ,"said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.
However, a survey on Sina Weibo shows that nearly half of respondents believe that people jaywalk mainly because they disregard rules.
"I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,"wrote "Qixiaoe"on Weibo.
Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.
But calling on people to respect rules is more important. "To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules,"Wang Jianping, a professor at Sichuan University, said to Huaxi Metropolis Daily.</s>How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience?</s>Less than one and a half minutes. | Less than one minute., About five minutes., More than ten minutes. |

For 13-year-old Brooke Martin, seeing her golden dog Kayla has become much easier, even when she's not at home. Martin made a kind of machine--iCPooch. It allows pet owners to video chat with their pets and sends food from other places.2-1-c-n-j-y
When a dog owner puts the iCPooch app on a phone, he or she can connect to the iCPooch machine at home and start talking. The owner's image and voice will be on the screen. When the owner pushes a button on the iCPooch app, the machine will give the dog some food that has been stored inside the box.
How could Martin come up with the idea? The idea came to the Washington girl when she took a business class last year. That led her to think about helping her pet Kayla. Kayla always looked sad when she was left alone at home."I wanted to know how you could talk to your dog if you were not at home. And what if you were able to give them a treat while you were away?" Martin explained her idea.
Now Martin and her family have set up a company. They've had investments from businessmen and asked a factory to make the product. They expected to sell 8,000 products by the end of 2015.
Martin is satisfied with her success. "A year ago, I never thought that I would be able to start a business, or even having an idea for a business," she said. "I've learned that we are supposed to hold on to your dreams."</s>What color is Brooke Martin's dog?</s>It's golden. | It's white., It's yellow., It's black. |

When the owner pushes a button on the iCPooch app, the machine will give the dog some food that has been stored inside the box.
How could Martin come up with the idea? The idea came to the Washington girl when she took a business class last year. That led her to think about helping her pet Kayla. Kayla always looked sad when she was left alone at home."I wanted to know how you could talk to your dog if you were not at home. And what if you were able to give them a treat while you were away?" Martin explained her idea.
Now Martin and her family have set up a company. They've had investments from businessmen and asked a factory to make the product. They expected to sell 8,000 products by the end of 2015.
Martin is satisfied with her success. "A year ago, I never thought that I would be able to start a business, or even having an idea for a business," she said. "I've learned that we are supposed to hold on to your dreams."</s>Kayla felt _ when she was left alone at home.</s>lonely | happy, exciting, surprised |

Always forgetting your long passwords ? Worried about being hacked ?All these worries will soon become history. Scientists have found that upper-casing your password can help you reduce the chance being hacked.
Usually passwords are six letters or more.However,50 percent of people choose a common word or simple key combination for their password. The most used passwords are 123456, abcdef and abc123. In fact, if your passwords are in lower-case ,it will be easily hacked by a hacker. According to a study, it only takes a hacker ten minutes to hack a six-letter password which is in lower-case, but if you make the letter in upper-case, it can take up to ten hours. So if you want to make your account much safer, you should make your password upper-case. Of course, you can also add numbers or _ to your password. Most of the time a hacker's computer has to work for 18 days to break a password, but if you choose a nine-letter password that includes numbers and symbols, it can take a hacher's computer 44,530 years to break it.</s>What is the main idea of the passage?</s>How to make your password much safer. | What passwords are., How a password is hacked., Why hackers hack your password. |

It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening.

Students these days often have a lot of worries. Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork, and sometimes with their friends. _ Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing. Laura Mills, a teenager from Washington, agrees. "Problems and worries are normal in life," says Laura. "But I think talking to someone helps a lot. If we don't talk to someone, we'll certainly feel worse."
Laura once lost her purse, and worried for days. She was afraid to tell her parents shout it. She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money. She just kept thinking. "If I tell my parents, they'll be angry!" But in the end, she talked to her parents and they were really understanding. Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself. They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful. "I will always remember to share my problems in the future!" Laura says.
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems. He feels the same way as Laura. "It is best not to avoid our problems. We should always try to solve them." He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to. This person doesn't need to be an expert like himself. Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them, and are always there to help them.

When July comes, children know they'll have the final exams and the school year will end soon. Boys and girls will have a nearly two months' holiday, and they'll leave school by train or by car to return home to see their fathers and mothers.
The summer holiday is the best time of the year for most students. The weather is good, so they can spend most of their time playing outside .If one lives in the country, he can go on a trip into the woods or in the fields. If one lives in a big city, he can go to a park to play.
The best place for a summer holiday is the seaside. Some children are lucky enough to live near the sea. But for the others who do not, if they have the chance to stay at one of the big seaside towns for a week or two, they will talk about it all the following school year.
Now, what makes children like the seaside so much? I think it is the sand, the sea and the sun, not anything else. Of course, there are lots of new things to see, nice things to eat and interesting things to do.
