People all over the world know Wimbledon as the centre of lawn tennis.
In 1874 it was a country village, but it was the home of the All England Croquet Club. The Club had been there since 1864. A lot of people played croquet in England at that time and enjoyed it, but the national championships did not attract many people. So the Club had very little money.
“This new game of lawn tennis seems to have plenty of action (精彩场面) , and people like watching it, “ they thought. “Shall we allow people to play lawn tennis on some of our beautiful croquet lawns?“
In 1877, Wimbledon held the first world lawn tennis championships (men’ s singles).
Wimbledon grew. There was some surprise and doubt, of course, when the Club allowed women to play in the first women’ s singles championship in 1884. But the ladies played well—even in long skirts that hid their legs and feet. Until 1907 the winners, both men and women, were always British, but since 1936 the victory has usually gone to an American or an Australian. British people were very happy when an English girl, Ann Jones, won the championship in 1969.

Most of you would probably say that what makes you truly happy is your family and the love you share in your relationships, and I couldn’ t agree more. But money comes into play in those relationships.
When I talk about money this way to a group, there is always someone who comes up to me and says, “ Suze, you are so wrong. Money isn’ t the key to life—this is!“ At which point their wallet flies open and they show me a photo of their family.
That’ s when things get interesting, because I start asking them questions: Did you take that photo with your own camera? It looks like a beautiful beach, was the photo taken on a family vacation? Do you hope to help those beautiful boys and girls go to college?
As their answers are “yes“ , I ask them how they provide all of that for their family. That’ s when they understand that I had it right.
I totally agree that family and friends are of great importance to our well-being: without meaningful relationships, there’ s no chance of ever being truly happy. That’ s why, every Saturday night, I end my CNBC show with the following words: “People first. Then money. Then things. “
How we deal with the money we have also plays into our happiness. Over the past few decades (十年) , the percentage of Americans who say they’ re happy hasn’ t changed much, while at the same time the average income has doubled. So we have more money, but we’ re not much happier on average.
A paradox (悖论) ? Far from it. My sense is that while we’ re making more money, we aren’ t making more of the money we make. We have to pay for a lot of things, and we have to worry about saving for retirement (退休) in a way that our parents and grandparents never did. And as many of you know, it’ s really hard to increase your happiness when you’ ve got a lot of money worries.
Do you agree, or am I way off base? I’ d love to know what you think about the money/happiness connection.

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. 【B1】______These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.
How is it done?【B2】______If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question.

Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’ s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’ s time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’ re saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.【B5】______Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ ve known you half their life.
[A]Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to.

[G]It’ s a common question, but it will get things going.

Where does the speaker come from?I was born in Tasmania. It was named after its discoverer, A. J. Tasman. Tasmania is an island off the south coast of Australia. It’ s the smallest state of Australia, about the size of Ireland. And the weather there is much like the north coast of Spain, neither very cold nor very hot.
It used to be a prison for the British Empire. It was a good prison because it’ s an island. The sea off Tasmania is full of sharks. Anyone who tried to escape got eaten by sharks. So there was no escape. But things have improved since the eighteenth century and Tasmania is famous for better reasons. Really, it’s a very beautiful place, with a wonderful natural environment. So tourism is a major industry, with farming and also food production following closely behind.
The scenery is very beautiful. And it’ s got rare animals and unique plants. There are only half a million people, so it’ s a large island with a small population. There are long beaches, mostly empty, no people at all. You can have a whole beach to yourself. On the west coast it’ s very mountainous. About a third of the state is National Park and complete wilderness. In many places it’ s possible to walk for maybe ten days without seeing a road or another human-being. Australia. Ireland. Spain.

“ Go for it!“
The expression “ Go for it!“ is a way of encouraging someone to try something.
“Go for it!“ means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a chance, be brave, and act firmly.
“ Go for it!“ gets its name from football. Not football as it is played in most countries such as England, Egypt or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada.
One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three attempts, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a critical decision.
The conservative choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat in order to gain a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more exciting choice, however, is to try a fourth and final time to gain the remaining yards needed. People present are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout: “ Kick the ball!“ But others will encourage the team to take a chance. “ Go for it!“ they will scream.
In the 1980s, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to act bravely. There is no guarantee that the action you “go for it“ will succeed.
But that is the chance you take when you decide to go for it. You put your fears behind. You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it.

Judy: Jack! I heard you just finished your trip to China!
Jack: Yes, we flew back from Beijing last night. What an amazing trip!
Judy: Did you enjoy it?
Jack: Very much. It is certainly most wonderful for me because I am deeply interested in history and culture there. I especially like the Palace Museum.
Judy: Oh, the Palace Museum. I heard that it’ s one of most famous museums in the world.
Jack: Yes, you are right. And it’ s one of the oldest, too. It was the imperial palace of ancient Chinese emperors. It has millions of pieces of collections. Imagine that!
Judy: How old is it?
Jack: It was founded in 1406. Ancient Chinese people spent 14 years building it. They used red and yellow on the palace walls and roof. Red represents happiness, good fortune and wealth, but yellow which only the royal families were allowed to use represents power. It has around nine thousand rooms and each room has different collections like old paintings and manuscripts, ancient china cups and bowls. Most of them are unique and precious.
Judy: Did you see all the collections?
Jack: No, we went there for two days while we were staying in Beijing, and there was only one day left for me to visit the Palace Museum. It is too large to visit the whole. You should see it someday.
Judy: Sure.

Are you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix?
In 1969, the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland, Ohio. It【K1】______ (be) unimaginable that it could ever be cleaned up.

Maybe you are facing an impossible situation. Maybe you have a habit【K7】______is driving your family crazy. Possibly you drink too much or don’ t know how to control your credit card use. When you face such an impossible situation, don’ t you want a quick fix and something to change immediately?
While there are【K8】______( amaze) stories of instant transformation, for most of us the【K9】______ (change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river. Just be【K10】______(patience).
