10 Reasons To Love
An Empowered Woman
If you are looking for someone
you can pour out your love to,
let me suggest the empowered woman.
The empowered woman knows what she
wants, knows how to get it,
knows how to live fully, and
she knows how to love you back
without needing anyone’s approval or
recognition. An empowered woman is
unarguably one of the most magnificent
beings you will ever come in
contact with. Read on and find 10
reason why you should absolutely love
and embrace the empowered women in
your life! .
1. She knows how to love
you in return
It is
difficult to give what you
don’t have. It is impossible to
love someone and feel fulfilled when
they can’t love you in return
because they don’t love themselves.
This will never happen to you
when you love an empowered woman.
She loves herself (not in a
narcissistic manner). In turn, she
appreciates who you are and loves
you in return. She will love
you just like you deserve to be
loved.
2. She will inspire
you
When life puts you
down and you are at the end
of your rope, the empowered woman
will be there to see you
through. Her drive, enthusiasm and
(at times) hopeless optimism will
inspire you to carry on despite
the obstacles you face.
3. She is not afraid of
failure
While many out
there are thoroughly terrified of
failure, the empowered woman understands
that failures are simply stepping
stones in life. How can you
not love someone that is thoroughly
unafraid to try, fail, and give
it a shot all over again?!
4. She is all about the
legacy
While most people
are focused on the car, the
house, the job, and corner office;
the empowered woman is focused on
leaving a legacy that will inspire
others and change the world. The
empowered woman is focused on
empowering others to maximize their
potential and fulfill their purpose.
She is all about inspiring others
to look beyond themselves and live
a life of service to others.
5. She can laugh at her
mistakes…
…and learn from
them as well! She understands mistakes
are part of the journey. The
empowered woman can laugh and learn
from her mistakes to ensure they
never happen again.
6. She can be
vulnerable
The empowered woman
understands there is no debt in
relationships without vulnerability. Although
she is emotionally strong, she is
willing to laugh and cry with
you because all of these emotions
are an essential part of life.
7. She can speak her
mind
While everyone else
is too concerned with what others
may think or say, the empowered
woman is not afraid to speak
her mind. She understands that her
value comes from within, not from
what others say or think about
her.
8. She knows when to remain
quiet
She lives by Abe
Lincoln’s words, “Better to remain
silent and be thought a fool,
than to speak out and remove
all doubt.”
9. She knows how to have
fun
Whether it is at
the symphony or at a ball game,
the empowered woman understands life
is made up of experiences with
people – not the places you go.
She is able to live in the
moment and enjoy it fully without
being concerned for the future. After
all, who’s got a guaranteed
future?
10. She is not afraid of
change
While most people
rather continue on living unfulfilled
lives as long as their comfort
zone remains intact, the empowered
woman is all about embracing change.
She understands growth cannot happen
without change. She understands that
change is the gift life offers
you to choose your destiny. Therefore,
she is not afraid of change
because it is her stepping stone
towards success

He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge over a pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the garden competition too, and I always win a little prize for the worst garden in the town!

It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened.

At an exhibition of the world's best swordsman, the third-place fencer took the stage. A fly was released, and with an arc of his sword he cut the fly in half. The crowd cheered. Then the second-place man sliced a fly into quarters. A hush fell in anticipation of the world's greatest swordsman.
His blade came down in a mighty arc - but the insect continued on its way! The crowd was aghast. The greatest swordsman had missed his target completely, yet he continued to smile.
"Why are you so happy?" someone yelled. "You missed!"
"Ah," replied the swordsman, "you weren't watching very carefully. They fly lives, yes - but he will never be a father."

猎手躺着等了几个晚上，但狮子一直没有出现。最后，他要求村长杀只羊然后把头皮给他。把羊皮披在身上后，猎人到草原上去等狮子。
半夜，村民被从草原传来的声嘶力竭的尖叫声惊醒。他们小心地靠近后，看到猎手正躺在草地上痛苦地呻吟。没有狮子出没的蛛丝马迹。
“Jonesie，怎么了？狮子在哪？”村长问。
“哪有狮子！”猎人怒吼道，“哪个傻瓜把公牛放出来了？”

Weather Predict
A film crew was on location deep in the desert. One day an old Indian went up to the director and said, "Tomorrow rain." The next day it rained.
A week later, the Indian went up to the director and said, "Tomorrow storm." The next day there was a hailstorm.
"This Indian is incredible," said the director. He told his secretary to hire the Indian to predict the weather.
However, after several successful predictions, the old Indian didn't show up for two weeks.
Finally the director sent for him. "I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow," said the director, "and I'm depending on you. What will the weather be like?"
The Indian shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know," he said. "Radio is broken."
天气预报
一个电影摄制组在沙漠深处工作.一天,一个印度老人到导演跟前告诉导演说"明天下雨."第二天果然下雨了.
一周后,印度人又来告诉导演说,"明天有风暴."果然,第二天下了雹暴.
"印度人真神,"导演说.他告诉秘书雇佣该印度人来预报天气.
几次预报都很成功.然后,接下来的两周,印度人不见了.
最后,导演派人去把他叫来了."我明天必须拍一个很大的场景,"导演说,"这得靠你了.明天天气如何啊?"
印度人耸了耸肩."我不知道,"印度人说,"收音机坏了."

I Am Acting Like a Lady
One day when women's dresses were on sale at the FarEast Department Store, a dignified middle-aged man decided to get his wife a piece. But he soon found himself being battered by frantic women.
He stood it as long as he could; then, with head lowered and arms flailing, he plowed through the crowed.
"You there!" challenged a thrill voice. "Can't you act like a gentleman?"
"Listen," he said, "I have been acting like a gentleman for an hour. From now on, I am acting like a lady."
我要表现得象位女士
一天，远东百货公司的女装大减价，一位高贵的中年男士想给太太买一件。可是，没过多久，他发现自己已被疯狂的女人冲得踉踉跄跄。
他竭力忍耐着。后来，他低下头，挥动双臂，挤过人群。
“你干嘛？”有人尖声叫道，“你难道不能表现得象位绅士吗？”
“听着，”他说，“我已经象绅士一样表现了一个小时。从现在起，我要表现得象个女士。”

I. 英语阅读短文一般用什么表示
做好高考英语阅读表达题方法，
一、了解考查内容
阅读部分考查的是考生的阅读理解能力，即对文章的整体和局部信息的理解和掌握情况。整体指的是文章的主旨大意，作者的态度、意图等；局部是指分散在文中的一些具体、特点的信息，了解了考查内容，对于考生就可以做到心中有数。
1. 文章的基本结构和主旨大义
英语文章讲究使用主题段和主题句。主题段通常在文章开头，简要概括文章的中心思想，主题句则有可能在一段的开头，也可能在中间或末尾作用是交代该段的中心思想，再由全段展开或讨论这个意思，段与段之间通常有词语连接，使文章作文连贯。如果要准确、深刻地理解一篇文章，必须对其结构有所了解，把握住全篇的文脉，对这种能力的考查主要反映在涉及文章中心思想，文中某一段大意或指代关系的题目中，文章的中心思想，有时从文章的第一个段落甚至第一个句子即可得出文章的主旨大义，以这一段或者句子读者就会知道文章描述的是谁，作者希望读者了解主题方面的哪些内容。当然，有时，文章的主旨大义则需以文章的字里行间进行推断，这类试题主要考查略读文章、领会大意的能力，它对考生的归纳、概括能力有一定的要求。
2. 作者意图和态度
每篇文章都有一个特定的写作目的，或是向读者传递某个信息，讲授某个道理等或是愉悦读者。而这些信息并不是明确的表达出来，而是隐含在文章当中，因此这要求考生在理解文章总体内容的基础上，才能领会作者的言外之意。
3. 文中具体信息
文章的主题和中心思想确立后，还需要有大量细节信息的支撑。这些细节对于理解全文至关重要。同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。因而不容忽视。通常会根据不同的要求考查文中的一些具体细节。这种比较直接，考生容易找到答案，但有时也较为间接，需要进行归纳、概括和推理。
4. 推测生词词义
正确理解文章中单词或短语的含义是理解文章的第一步，不懂单词的含义，根本就谈不上理解文章，同时应该清楚英语单词的含义并非等同于词典中所标注的汉语意思，其含义随不同的语境会有所不同，所以这时必须根据上下文，才能正确理解灵活变化的词义，这样才算是真正初步具备了阅读理解能力。在英语阅读文章中常会遇到一些生词，但许多这类生词的词义可以通过上下文推断出来，这种不使用字典而通过阅读上下文来认识生词的能力，是一个合格的读者必须具备的能力。
5. 作出简单判断和推理
阅读文章的主要目的是获取作者所要传述的信息，在实际的阅读活动中，有时需要根据文章提供的事实和线索，推测出作者未提到的事实或某事发生的可能性等。
二、应试技能训练
1. 提高阅读速度
要想在短时间内拿到阅读高分，阅读速度和理解的准确度两者都不能少，平常要注意多做快速阅读和精读相结合练习。通常考生要有一定的时间要求。训练阅读速度的方法因人而异。有些人阅读速度较慢是因为词汇量太小，不得不边读边查字典。那么对这些人而言，提高速度的最佳方法是多掌握一些词汇，多读一些适合自己水平的读物，阅读时仍遇到生词，可先尝试跳过。如果跳过的生词为关键词，读完文章后仍有猜不出的，可统一查询词典。通过不同方法，如采用以手指词强制逐字阅读的训练方法，；加快阅读速度。
2. 带着问题读文章
考生切记做题时，要带着问题读文章，即先看题目，弄清楚题目要求，带着问题有目的地进行阅读。这样能把握方向。通常信息常隐于短文中，但篇幅长为利于快速捕捉信息，先看试题，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息。然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行整合，甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。这样做，提高了做题的准确率，节省了宝贵的时间，特别适用与图形表格类题材的理解。
3. 理顺思路与文章脉络
这种方法可以帮助你理清文章的头绪，建议考试中在试卷相应处做出自己可以识别的标记。如记叙文多与人物为中心，以时间、空间为线索，按事件的发生、发展、结尾展开故事，在阅读此类文章的过程中每出现人物、时间、地点的时候作一个小标记，以便最快时间里找到文章发展情节。而论述性文章则包含论点、论据、结论三大要素，通过解释、举例来阐述观点，那么考生可以根据文章的特点，详读细节以实词、时间、地点、事件因果等为线索，找出关键词语，运用“画图列表法”快速突破那些要求考生找出原因和结果的题目。
4. 巧用标题和首句
有时阅读短文带有小标题，这时的小标题就非常重要，因为小标题都是文章的点晴之笔，都与文章的中心和文后的问题密切相关，利用得好有助于加快、加深对文章的理解，有利于文章内函的挖掘，同时考生要注意首句，首句的作用有时与文章的标题有异曲同工之妙，解题时应注意利用，它是对一段文章内容的概括，其后续语句是对首句的说明、解释。
5. 加强阅读习惯的养成
阅读时，学生的良好习惯也非常重要。平时阅读时，不要随意性太强，要在限定的时间去完成阅读任务，不要每逢词便查字典，要学会通过上下文猜测词意。不要字字都读，要学会眼扫开头结尾，确定主题大意，不放过关键词语，要抓住but, however 等词的真正意图。把握重要的长句，学会找到句子的并列或主从结构特征以理解句意，不轻易根据某细节妄下结论。不以中国的习俗及价值观念为准绳去评判区别英语国家人们的行为习惯。
学生要如何提高自己的阅读理解水平，除了要了解文章要考查的内容之外，还要注意做题的一些应试技能策略，平时还要加强掌握基本的英语语言知识和一定的语言文化背景知识，尽量争取多读一些英语文章，并通过阅读培养起学生对英语的兴趣。
