Alice s Adventures in Wonderland It is an interesting story about a girl named Alice, who follows the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole and finds herself in Wonderland. She not only finds the White Rabbit, but also meets other animals such as the Dormouse and the Caterpillar. During her adventures, Alice eats and drinks things that make her change in size. At last, Alice enters a garden, where she happens to see a trial（审判）. The Knave of Hearts is accused（被指控）of stealing the Queen of Hearts pie, while the King of Hearts is the judge. As Alice argues with the Queen, the Queen becomes angry with Alice and orders her men to kill Alice. In the end, Alice grows to a huge size and knocks over the playing cards.

The storyline is so imaginative. Alice, with her pleasant personality, is attractive. It is one of the classics needed to complete your bookshelf. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz It is an interesting story about a girl named Dorothy, who is taken away from her home in a storm and finds herself in the Land of Oz.

After facing many difficulties they successfully meet the Great Oz, who in fact is not a wizard. However, the old man gives the Scarecrow a brain made of pins and needles, the Tin Woodman a heart made of silk and filled with sawdust, and the Cowardly Lion a bottle of courage. In the end, Dorothy finally gets home to where her aunt and uncle live. They are very glad to see she is safe. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum, is an enjoyable American classic.

One pleasant evening, I was holding Grandpa's hand and taking a walk in the park. "Where are the peanuts Give me now!" He suddenly said. How I wished I had some with me! "William, the monkeys are taking long to come out today. Wait till they smell the peanuts." I knew he was lost in one of his memories again. I remembered the stories he told me of how he fed the monkeys when he was a kid. Then, he saw the goldfish! He acted as if he was seeing them for the first time.
Poor Grandpa! He fell ill with Alzheimer's disease (阿尔茨海默症) last year. The doctor said it was a progressive brain disorder which could destroy (破坏) a person's memory. The patient might also not be able to make reasonable judgments (判断). The saddening part was that it was a lifelong disease. But when my parents invited him to stay with us, he refused and said he liked living alone. One day, he forgot to turn off the fire after cooking porridge. Luckily, one of the neighbors came to help him before the fire could spread.
It was then that my parents brought Grandpa to live with us. Often, he would forget my name and ask me who I was and what I was doing in his house. Each time I would answer softly, "It's me, Ray, Grandpa!" Even if he had forgotten who I was, he would always be my beloved grandfather.

Once there were many thousands of Gourma Desert（沙漠）elephants in Mali, a country in West Africa. Now, there are fewer than four hundred.
Why did the number of the elephants drop so quickly On the one hand, the elephants main lake, their only water source（来源）, dried up. On the other hand, the land which the elephants lived on was overused by humans.
To protect the elephants living environment, the Mali Elephant Project (MEP) was started in 2007. MEP met with local people and helped them make rules of using land and water. As a result, the situation became better and there was more food, forests and grassland.
However, from 2012 to 2016, poaching（非法猎取）and illegal trade in the elephants increased rapidly. Eighty-three elephants were lost in 2015 alone, and another fifty-one elephants were killed in 2016. “If this situation goes on, all the Gourma elephants will be killed very soon,” said a member of MEP.
Luckily, the voice of MEP was heard. More organizations（组织）have joined together to educate the local people that trading elephants is against the law. Elephant poaching has dropped to a very low level. The local people have learned to live peacefully with the elephants, one of the wildlife treasures in the world.

Have you ever heard the phrase “You never get a second chance to make a first impression（印象）” It may sound like an unusual piece of advice, but it is true—the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person treats you or reacts to you in the future.
What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds. When you meet someone for the first time, by the time you have stated your name or shaken hands, the other person has already formed an opinion about the kind of person you are.
So how do you make a good first impression All things grown-ups tell you—such as being polite and being well-dressed—are very important. However, the most important tool for making a good first impression is your face. Smiling, being responsive, and looking like you are happy will almost always leave a positive（积极的）impression on people, especially those who do not know you. Most people, generally speaking, are ready to smile back when they are smiled at.
Furthermore, smiling and being in a positive mood helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things. This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly. So if you ever need a reason to be happy, think about the wonderful people you might meet—and impress—with a cheerful smile.

A woman wrote to us saying she was doing a workshop for children to help them develop self-confidence and asked if we could help her. Klassy Evans, editor of Self-Help Stuff That Works, gave this answer:
I have dealt with many children and what I know about self-confidence is: You can t give them self-confidence. What you can do is to give them chances to do things well and in doing things well, they become confident of themselves. I ve seen many teachers try to say really nice, encouraging things to kids trying to make them feel good about themselves, but it backfires（事与愿违）.
It is interesting to know how the word confidence comes. Confidence is from Latin, meaning to trust fully. Children must learn to trust themselves to trust their own abilities and I don t know any way to do that but in the doing of things. Children need to be coached on how to attempt things and how to overcome difficulties and to get up again when they fail. And they will learn from that failure and go on. It s back to hard work and learning from failures.
If I was doing a workshop for kids, and I ve done a few workshops in my life, though they ve been for high-school kids, I d help them learn how to achieve. When they know how to achieve and get up again after the setback（挫折）, then self-confidence is the result.
We should ________ to make a person more self-confident according to Klassy.
A. give them self-confidence
B. give them chances to do things well
C. encourage them to make them feel good about themselves
D. give them money
The word “confidence” comes from ________.
A. Latin B. English C. German D. French
How should children deal with failures
A. They need to be coached on how to attempt things.
B. They should learn from failures and go on.
C. They should be afraid of failures.
D. They should ask others for help.
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Klassy agrees to give children self-confidence.
B. It is wrong to encourage children to do anything.
C. It is difficult for children to be more self-confident.
D. Klassy hopes to help children learn how to achieve.
Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Encourage Children to Own More Self-confidence
B. Self-confidence is Difficult
C. How to Make Children Self-confident
D. How does the Word Confidence Come

They say that"travel is the best teacher"and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country s land and geography.
Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at anearly age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however. Xu s father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.
But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son’s love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.
So at the age of twenty and with his mother s support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.
Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys
Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641. soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.

*Forest
When working on your homework, you might sometimes find that your smart phone is distracting（使分心）you. An app called Forest can help you stay focused. When you set a new task in the app and set a certain amount of time to finish it, a tree seed will be “planted” in the app. If you keep finishing your task, the seed will grow into a tree. But if you close the app and play with your phone instead, the tree will wither and even die. Once you finish the task, your tree will be “planted” in the app. Gradually, you will have a forest! You can share your achievements with your friends and try to “plant” different kinds of trees.
*Rocket Alarm Clock
It s hard to get out of bed every morning. You might hit the “snooze” button（“打盹”按钮）on your alarm clock again and again just to get a little more sleep. However, the Rocket Alarm Clock app can help!
The app s alarm cannot be easily turned off. You have to shake your phone wildly, solve difficult math problems, or even blow into your phone s microphone to turn it off. For example, in one of the app s modes, there are some unidentified flying objects (UFOs) that are attacking（攻击）the earth. You have to blow hard on your microphone to get rid of（摆脱）the UFOs and turn off the alarm.

While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School. They became the world s first kids to be taught by an electronic teacher. This electronic teacher is not a human-like robot walking around the classroom. Instead, he is a computer-created head that appears, when needed, on students' computer or phone screens. His name is Bill.
Created by technology company Smart Machines, Bill is able to show human-like behavior. He is designed to teach a special program about environmental-friendly power created by the sun and wind. This program, started in 2005, used to be taught by human teachers.
Just like human teachers, Bill is able to immediately respond to the students questions and opinions about the topic. Thanks to computer cameras, he is also able to see and react to students physical actions. For example, if a student smiles at Bill, he responds by smiling back. This two-way exchange helps get the students attention. More importantly, it allows the program developers to improve Bill's behavior and knowledge base when needed.
The program has been a great success, according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost Frost says, "What is interesting to me is the children s reaction to Bill. He really captures their attention." Frost thinks kids don t find the experience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people because they have grown up in a time of computers and smart phones.
It is doubtful, however, that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time soon. For one, his talking head s knowledge base is not large. More importantly, even the smartest computer programs can t guess and react to all the unexpected situations that educators face daily. Bills future might be as a "personal tutor", providing kids with one-on-one help for different subjects and topics.
What is Bill
A. A human-like robot.
B. A kind of computer game.
C. A computer recording tool.
D. A computer-created talking head.
How does the two-way exchange help the program developers
A. It lets them correct students mistakes.
B. It allows Bill to respond more quickly.
C. It helps them know how to improve Bill.
D. It helps them study students body language.
The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 4 refers to______．
A. kids B. older people
C. smart machines D. program developers
What is Bill NOT good at doing
A. Attracting students attention.
B. Understanding body language.
C. Responding to students questions.
D. Dealing with unexpected situations.
How might Bill be used in the future according to the last paragraph
A. To work as human classroom teachers.
B. To encourage students interest in computers.
C. To give students personal help with different subjects.
D. To watch over the behavior of the students in the classroom.

Should Museum Entry Be Free With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket Let us know your view.
Comments: Museums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate, let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view it because of cost is wrong. Krista Chen (U.S.)—Age 15 Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art. Generally people respect things that are difficult or costly to get. Museums should require regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students who can appreciate them more. Fred Smith (New Zealand)—Age 14 Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor. People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee. Rob Sanchez (Australia)—Age 17 There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have a social responsibility too. Amber White (UK)—Age 16 I think museums and art galleries should all be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize money-raising events to help pay for the cost of staying open. Li Mishao (China)—Age 15

Me: Hello, Television Viewers! I am Aziza Bellamy, and thanks for watching. I want to especially thank you, Ms. Bertha, for agreeing to this interview on live television. It's a pleasure to meet you, the first-known trans-galactic visitor to Earth. Now, I understand that you are from a planet called Zadernol
Bertha: Just call me Miss Bertha or Bertha, please, but not "Ms."
Me: Okay, sorry about that. So, you've been on Earth for about a week now. What have been your biggest disappointments or challenges so far
Bertha: It's not the worst planet I've ever been to. Mercury was much worse. The aliens— oops, I mean humans, have been unkind, overall. The family I'm staying with, for example, were nice at first. But now they roll their eyes whenever I open my mouth to say anything. They're not interested in any of my stories. And I think they may be trying to avoid me. Worst of all, they make me wash my own dishes and bathe myself. They're so rude.
Me: Oh, um. . . wow. That's just. . .
Bertha: I am used to having high standards when I choose where to stay, by the way. I have stayed with royalty and presidents on other planets. And they all adored(崇拜) me and begged me not to leave. But I gave this human family a chance to host me. I mean, really, they should be grateful that I selected them, of all the people on Earth, to wash my clothes and cook my meals and entertain(款待) me.
Me: Well, what you're saying is surprising, Bertha. Do you think it's possible that this family just wants you to pitch in a little, to be a good guest
Bertha: It's odd to me that you're not agreeing with me. If you were smarter, you'd agree with me. That's another thing. Everyone on Zadernol is smarter than the smartest person on Earth. Earth is below me.
Me: You know what, Bertha I'm starting to see why you're so unhappy here on Earth. You're just a boastful(自夸的), spoiled alien.
