Years ago when Sam Haskell was nine， a television commercial attracted his attention. P&G （寶潔公司） had launched an ad campaign with the “Cheer Man”， a character who visited neighborhoods around the country. If he rang your doorbell and you had a box of Cheer （a brand name of P&G’s detergent） or even something like “Cheer” written on a piece of paper， you’d receive ten dollars.

Sam was convinced the Cheer Man would come to his home in Mississippi. He made a three-foot by four-foot sign with the Cheer logo and hung it in his bedroom. He was ready， and he told his classmates and everyone he talked to that the Cheer Man was coming to his house. People laughed at him， but his mom kept encouraging him to dream. Time went by and the advertisement was no longer on TV. Sam stored the sign in his closet — but he still believed the Cheer Man was coming.

The next summer， when Sam was ten， he went to a neighborhood birthday party. Playing soccer on the lawn， they heard what sounded like someone shouting through a megaphone. As the noise got closer， they saw it was a car with a loudspeaker on the roof — a man was yelling， “Cheer！ Cheer！ Cheer... is here！”

Sam watched in awe. The car was still several blocks away， but he knew in his heart that it was going to his house. Sam ran home， grabbed his sign and rushed back outside holding it over his head. His heart pounded in excitement.

And then， just as he’d dreamed， the Cheer Man stopped in front of his house， walked up to Sam and said “You get the ten dollars.”

Young Sam learned a valuable lesson that day about believing in a dream. He discovered that everything is possible. The knowledge paved the way for Sam’s future as a television executive and producer in Hollywood. In 2007， TV Guide named him one of the 25 Most Innovation and Influential People in Television over the last quarter-century.

To celebrate his girlfriend’s birthday， Luke Fortune drove from Oregon to Portland， where he parked his car in a paid garage overnight. The next morning， he discovered the car’s window had been broken， along with his dreams for the future. “Everything important to me was on that computer.” said Fortune， “Every paper I’d written and all the programs I needed for my tests. Every letter I was working on for job applications. I felt sick.”

Two days after the theft， another young man was standing outside this apartment. Masoud Almazrouei， an exchange student from the United Arab Emirates， had been approached by a man who said he had a computer for sale. Only $200.

Soon after， a police officer called Fortune and passed along the man’s number. Fortune called and thanked Almazrouei and insisted on paying him a reward of $200. Almazrouei refused and he said it was his mistake and it was his honor and duty as a Muslim to return the possessions to the rightful owner.

Then Almazrouei received a call from Wim Wiewel， president of the university where Almazrouei is studying. Impressed with his student’s behaviour， Wiewel gave Almazrouei a new MacBook Pro. Wiewel told him， “You’re the very person who sets a good example to all， and we are so proud of you.”

Apart from just throwing back your handsome reflection， in the near future a magical mirror might tell you a lot about what lies beneath the surface. That’s the goal of researchers who are developing a high-tech mirror that is designed to deliver a health appraisal and report just by studying your facial features.

The Wize Mirror is being developed by a group of researchers and industry partners from seven European countries. The Mirror’s aim is to stamp out cardiovascular （心臟血管的） diseases，including stroke （中風(fēng)） and heart disease， which are the leading causes of death around the world. Catching the early signs of these diseases， researchers believe， is the best medicine for reducing health care costs.

Toward that end， the Wize Mirror wants to gather all sorts of information about you at just a glance.

Its cameras record the day-to-day changes in your facial features so as to examine known markers of stress， anxiety and disease. A full 3-D facial scanner lets you know if you’ve gained or lost weight， and the oxygen levels in the blood. Finally， gas sensors measure your breath to determine how much you drink or smoke， and if you’re at risk of disease.

And， of course， you can use it to get your hair just right， too.

After gathering all this information， the Wize Mirror， which works like a touchscreen computer， will display a score showing how healthy you appear. It’ll also provide a few tips on how you can improve your health.

So someday， perhaps， your mirror will tell you everything your friends are too careful to say.

12. What does the underlined word “appraisal” in Paragraph 1 refer to？

A. Form.???? ???????? B. Schedule.???? ???? C. Evaluation.?? ?????????? D. Concept.

13. What is the key reason for the Wize Mirror being developed？

A. To find out what lies behind a person.

B. To put out some leading causes of death.

C. To classify the information about one’s face.

D. To conduct researches about a human’s body.

14. What is researchers’ belief for reducing health care costs？

A. Examining oneself in a mirror every day is a must.

B. Studying a touch screen computer is tending health.

C. Preventing stroke and heart disease is stopping death.

D. Spotting the early signs of diseases is the best medicine.

15. What is the working procedure of the Wize Mirror？

a. Provide tips on how to improve one’s health.

b. Display a score showing how healthy one appears.

c. Cameras record the daily changes in one’s facial features.

d. A full 3-D facial scanner tells about one’s weight and blood.

e. Gas sensors measure one’s breath to decide if one’s falling ill.

A. c-d-e-b-a B. c-b-e-d-a C. d-c-a-e-b?????? D. e-d-c-b-a

Here come some of the ways advised to keep delighted and a healthy mood by Harvard.

● Be grateful and say thanks often

_1_—the tiny purple flowers on the sidewalk， the beautiful sunset， and the smile in your partner’s eyes. When you have a grateful heart that is appreciative of life’s beauty， wonder and blessings， you’re automatically filled with delight. Always be appreciative of the blessings in your life. And it’s equally important to express your appreciation to those who’ve made your life better in some way.

● _2_

If your tendency is to imagine the very worst case whenever you have a trouble， train yourself to change that tendency. Ask yourself what good can come from the situation or what you can learn from it. Optimism surely fuels success and delight. _3_. Try to find humor and laughter in life’s everyday struggles.

● Understand and forgive

Step into others’ shoes and understand a situation from another’s perspective， and we’re more likely to handle the situation with objectivity and effectiveness. There will be less conflicts and more delight.

Hate and anger are forms of self-punishment. When you forgive， you’re actually practicing kindness to yourself. Most importantly， learn to forgive yourself. Everyone makes mistakes.? _4_.

● Keep learning and be a problem solver

Learning keeps us young and alive. When engaging our brains toward productive uses， we’re much more likely to feel delighted and fulfilled.

Delighted people are problem solvers. When facing a challenge in life， they don’t beat themselves up and fail into a depressive state. _5_. By becoming a problem solver， you’ll build up your self-confidence and your ability to accomplish whatever you set to.

A. Be optimistic and laugh often

B. Pay attention to the little details in your life

C. Do what you love freely and live happily in the present

D. Laughter is the most powerful treatment to anger or depression

E. It’s through our mistakes that we learn and grow to be bigger and better

F. Only by making mistakes repeatedly will we realize it is normal to make mistakes

G. Instead they face the challenge and channel their energies to finding a creative solution

Then we cleaned the windows or swept the floor for them. Some of us performed for them， such as sing songs and dancing. When it was time for them volunteers to leave， they are grateful for what we did.
