Imagine you have to spend an hour with a student you don’t know from another class. Maybe you’re going to take a test, or you’re waiting to see the head teacher.

Five-year-old Jonny and ten-year-old John were friends. John was bigger and stronger than Jonny.

If we want to grow as people, we cannot just depend on our own evaluation (评价) of how we are doing. We also need to know what other people think about our performance. Receiving feedback (反馈) from others can help us see the larger picture and show us a way to success. However, someone has to give that feedback, and sometimes, that someone will be you. How should you deal with this
First, if you notice a situation in which some feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can. If you wait until the matter disappears from the person’s mind, they might not understand what you’re trying to tell them. Take the person to a safe, comfortable place and offer your advice in private (私下地).
Second, when you’re giving feedback, it’s important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they’re doing a bad job. Make sure you give an equal (相等的) amount of good feedback to balance out (平衡) anything bad. Like the saying goes, “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down”.
All good feedback shares something in common. First, it should help achieve a goal. It’s less useful to tell your friends that their dish tastes “interesting” than to suggest adding a little salt. Feedback should also look toward the future. You can’t change what’s already happened, but you can prevent it from happening again. Tell your friends they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for a big exam they failed.
Finally, don’t think your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. You might even get some feedback on your feedback. Don’t get unhappy at this — it can only help you give better advice next time.
13．Why is feedback from others important for us
A．We are not doing well in our study or work.
B．Receiving feedback from others may help us succeed.
C．Other people’s ideas about our performance are always correct.
D．Feedback is the most important for teenagers to grow as people.
14．Why is it important to give feedback in time according to Paragraph 2
A．You might forget to tell the person later.
B．Perhaps the person wants the feedback right away.
C．Maybe the person needs time to understand your advice.
D．If you wait too long, the person might forget what’s happened.
15．What can we infer (推断) from the underlined saying in Paragraph 3
A．It’s difficult to do a good job all the time.
B．It’s helpful to keep on giving bad feedback.
C．It’s better to balance good and bad feedback.
D．It’s important to think twice before giving feedback.
16．What is the text mainly about
A．The characters included in good feedback.
B．The way for people to give feedback properly.
C．The differences between good and bad feedback.
D．The importance of giving and receiving feedback.
The NBA play-offs (季后赛) began on April 28, and the next two months will be filled with games decided in the final minutes. The play-offs are also a way to show off the world’s best basketball players.

Do you have female friends that are referred to as “guimi” If you are a girl and the answer is yes, you are a lucky dog. “Guimi” is only used among girls. It refers to your most honest friends.

Twins Coby and Cory Cotton, and their friends Garrett Hilbert, Cody Jones and Tyler Toney, were roommates at Texas A & M University. One day, Tyler bet Garret that he could make a crazy over-the-shoulder basketball shot. Tyler made the shot. Then the rest of the guys tried their own even crazier shots! Each of them wants to perform better than the others. One of them set up a camera to capture the action. He looked through the lens and commented, “Dude, perfect!”
Little did the friends know that their video, which they posted online, would go viral. In just one week, it had hit 100, 000 views. They decided to call their group “Dude Perfect” and began to try even harder trick shots. Soon, they had American talk shows asking them to air their videos on TV.
Today, “Dude Perfect” tops the YouTube (an online video-sharing platform channel charts in the United States). In addition, the guys now have their own TV series, The Dude Perfect Show, popular toys named after them, and even an online store, including everything from T-shirts to backpacks. It is estimated that the group’s earnings from YouTube alone are about $ 2 million a year.
The “Dude Perfect” guys make most of their videos in a 25, 000-square-foot building in San Francisco. Inside, there is a full-sized basketball court, a soccer field, an area for golfing, cool vehicles they can drive around, lots of video-production equipment and more. While making their videos, they have spent time with some of the world’s best athletes and broke several world records. The secret to the accuracy of their shots is no secret at all — a lot of practice and a spirit of never give up.
Since “Dude Perfect” started, all five of the guys have got married, and three of them have had kids. Although all of them are now responsible adults, they’re still kids at heart, and that comes through clearly in their videos and TV shows.

The little boy quickly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so, the father calmed (平静) down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t really ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.
“Sorry! Maybe I was too hard on you just now.” said the man, “Here’s $10.”
“Oh, thank you, Daddy!” he said happily. Then, the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.

Dear Helen,

I didn’t consider our friendship precious (宝贵的) before and I regret it. Now the pain is deep in my heart. Whenever I see the two friends, Maria and Jane, all I can think of is you.

Everyone in our class learned to share things because of you. I feel a bit silly for misunderstanding (误会) you at times. Now you have gone back to Canada, but I still want to say that I love you and miss you. I am looking forward to hearing from you and welcome you to England again.

“Did you see that ” Joe said to his friend Bill.
“You’re a great shooter!”
Bill caught the basketball and bounced it before throwing it again. The ball flew into the net.
“Bill, you never miss!” Joe said admiringly.
“Unless I’m in a real game,” Bill complained. “Then I miss all the time.”
Joe knew that Bill was right. Bill performed much better when he was having fun with Joe in the school yard than he did when he was playing for the school team in front of a large crowd.
“Maybe you just need to practice more,” Joe suggested.
“But I practice all the time with you!” Bill disagreed. He shook his head, “I just can’t play well when people are watching me.”
“You play well when I’m watching,” Joe pointed out.
“That’s because I’ve known you since we were five years old,” Bill said with a smile. “I’m just not comfortable playing when other people are around.”
Joe nodded and understood, but he also had an idea.
The next day Joe and Bill met in the school yard again to practice. After a few minutes, Joe excused himself.
“Practice without me,” Joe said to his friend. “I’ll be back in a minute.”
Joe hurried through the school building, gathering together whomever he could find—two students, a maths teacher, two secretaries, and a janitor. When Joe explained why he needed them, everyone was happy to help.
Joe reminded the group to stay quiet as they all went toward the school’s basketball court. As Joe had hoped, Bill was still practicing basketball. He made five baskets in a row without noticing the silent people standing behind him.
“Hey, Bill!” Joe called out finally.
Bill turned. A look of surprise came over his face.
“I just wanted to show you that you could play well with people watching you,” Joe said. “Now you’ll have nothing to worry about for the next game!”

Do you feel lonely when your best friend isn’t around Here’s our advice to you—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes.
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out during breaks or lunchtime. You want to make new friends, but how do you find them Maybe it seems like everybody else already has friends. But remember, there's always room for more friends.
Start by looking around your classroom —think about which kids you’d like to play with during break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile, and be friendly. Offer to share something or express your appreciation（欣赏）to them. Invite someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here ” in the lunchroom. When you’re at break, walk over to kids you want to play with, act friendly, and say “Hi, may I join you ” or just join in.
If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends. Teachers are usually pretty good at matching people up. The best way to make friends is to be a friend. Being kind, being friendly, sharing, saying nice things, offering help—pretty soon, you’ll have one, two or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other again, you can share something you didn’t have before he or she left. You can introduce him or her to your new friends!

When you’re going to a new school or going to a party, meeting people and making friends can be challenging. However, it doesn’t have to be so hard. Try a few of these simple suggestions, and you’ll be on your way quickly.
Listen and Ask Questions
Other people like to know they’re heard and that their ideas are valued. By being a good listener, you let others know that you value what they have to say and who they are.
You can let others know you’re paying attention by looking at their eyes from time to time while they’re speaking, then asking a question or two about what they’re saying. If the conversation goes well, ask the person for his or her phone number or email, then make plans to hang out.
Give a Compliment
If you notice something you like about someone, give a compliment. Sharing it with him or her is a great way to start a conversation.
When giving a compliment, be honest and true. Even if you compliment something very small, like the colour of the person’s shoes, he or she will be very glad to hear it. You might even receive a compliment in return.
Keep Yourself from Technology
You may not notice who’s interested in you if you keep checking your email and text messages. Put away your phone from time to time and take a look around. Who seems funny or interesting Which person in the room have you never talked to Who pays attention to your ideas Remember these people and spend a little time getting to know these people face to face.
Join a Club or Team
Having an interest in common with another person gives both of you something to talk about. Clubs, teams and other groups also work toward common goals, which teaches you how to solve problems and helps you make friends with others.

People can’t see you when you’re speaking on the phone, but they can hear you. So, the way you speak is especially important. In fact, researchers have calculated that 80% of communication over the phone is through your tone of voice, and only 20% is from the words you use. Here are out top tips on how to speak over the phone.
Facial Expressions
Your facial expression can influence your voice. For example, if you smile, your voice will sound warm and friendly, just the opposite, if you have an angry look on your face, it can make you sound unpleasant.
Volume
If you speak too loudly, you could sound angry. And if you speak too softly, it’ll be difficult to hear you. So, speak loudly enough to be heard clearly, but not so loud that you’re shouting.
Pace
The pace of your voice is how quickly you speak. And this can show how you feel. For example, an angry person might speak faster than normal. Or a downhearted person might speak very slowly. Try speaking a little more slowly than normal. This will make you sound confident, and it’ll make it easier for the other person to understand you.
Gestures
Gesturing can influence the tone of your voice. When you gesture, you bring more air into the lungs, which can make your voice sound warmer. Gestures are also useful to help you stress the right words or even find the words you need. The best thing about gesturing during a phone call is that no one can see what you’re doing, so you can gesture as wildly as you like!
Movement
If you’re feeling nervous, stand up and move around. It will reduce the nervousness in your body and help your voice to sound more confident.
Pauses(停顿)
Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down. This will make you sound more confident and in control. Also, if you pause after giving some new information, it’ll give the other person time to understand it. At the same time, listen to how the other person uses pauses. They could tell you something about the speaker’s feeling. For example, when a speaker is really angry, he might uses pauses and says, “I...am...so...angry.”

It was about ten years ago on a cold rainy winter day. I was walking over to visit my dad, and although his house was only a short walk from mine, I was already wet. I knocked on his door and stepped in. Sweet smell from the kitchen touched my nose, and suddenly, I was eight years old again. Dad was making Grandma’s special sauce(酱).
When I was growing up, every Sunday after church(教堂), Grandma would make us a large Italian meal. She would slow cook her spaghetti sauce for hours. When it was done, we would mix it in the spaghetti. It always left our bellies(腹部) full, our hearts happy and the house smelling wonderful.
I sat down with Dad. It felt so good having a meal like we used to when I was a boy. We talked about those old times and laughed over the memories, both good and bad. I didn’t feel cold anymore. My heart was warm, both my face and stomach were smiling.
Dad and Grandma have been gone for years now. I still miss them often. And although my daughter and I both know how to make Grandma’s special sauce, we don’t cook it as often as we can. Maybe it is because no matter how hard I try, I can never get it 100 percent right. I think that maybe I am missing an ingredient. Or maybe, it was love with which Grandma and Dad cooked it that made it so delicious.

Last night, Mum was cooking my favorite meal, which is chicken, sweetcorn and noodle soup. She asked if I would like to watch and help. I love cooking with Mum. Mum told me how important it is to eat healthy food that has been cooked at home.
Before I started, I tied my hair back and then washed my hands. First I sliced (切片) the vegetables, carrots, baby corn, onions and celery sticks. I had to be very careful when I used the knife because it is very sharp.
Mum put a big pot on the stove and added the vegetables. I am not allowed to turn on the stove (炉子). That is too dangerous for me. The soup must cook on a low heat for one hour.
Mum and I shredded (切成条状) the cooked chicken meat away from the bone (骨头). What a messy job! I threw the bones and skin (皮) in the bin then washed my hands. I used a large spoon to slowly put the chicken meal into the pot. Mum stood close and watched me.
We added the noodles to the pot last because noodles cook quickly. When the soup was almost ready, it smelled good.
I set the table with spoons and bowls ready for our delicious dinner. Our family like to eat dinner together. We turn off the TV, computers and radios. Then we can talk to each other. We talk about what we have done that day. My dad is funny; he tells jokes at meal times. My young brother and sister enjoyed my soup!
Soup is a quick and healthy meal, and very easy to make. I am learning about feeding my body correctly and learning the favourite family recipes (食谱) from Mum. Cooking is fun and Mum likes it when I help her cook.

He didn’t really ever play them, but he didn’t want to tell Juan. He was afraid Juan would tell the other kids at school. When Juan arrived and suggested playing video games, Tom looked a bit uncomfortable.
“I thought we could go outside and play tag or hide-and-seek,” said Tom.
“I don’t usually play such kind of games,” said Juan.
“Well, we don’t have a television or a computer because my parents don’t have much money, and we can’t afford those extra things, so I usually play old-fashioned games, like tag or hide-and-seek, or dodgeball. Would you please not tell anyone at school that we are poor ” asked Tom.
“You shouldn’t worry about what other people think,” Juan told Tom. “I’m sure the games you play are just as fun as video games.”

“What’s hopscotch ” asked Juan.
“I’ll show you when we get home. You will like it.” When they got home, Juan’s mom showed him how she played hopscotch.
