When I was in the eighth grade, my class was assigned (指派) to be friends with the second-grade kids. I got this little girl named Shelley. The first time I saw her, she was silent and cold. She was small for her age, and she didn't play with the other kids in her class.
I tried all kinds of things to get her to talk to me. I bought her toys, crayons and candies. But try as I might, nothing worked. One time, I gave her a coloring book and said, “Shelley, now you can color at any time.”
Shelley looked at the coloring book and then looked up at me, and finally looked away. By that, I didn't know how I was going to get through to the little girl, but I knew I wouldn't give up on her.
One Friday, I decided to tell her a story about my childhood. I told her that I felt lonely when I was with my classmates, and how I thought only my teachers liked me. I also told her that every day was a battle(战役) for me and that I fought back tears so people wouldn't know how much I was hurting.
She sat there just listening, trying to decide whether I was lying or not. Finally, when my story ended, there were tears in her eyes. And then she did the unthinkable, She said, “Thank you.” From then on, Shelley was a different little girl. She started smiling and talking with other kids.
Looking back at this,I'm in awe(惊叹), because all I did was to help her realize that she wasn't alone. I didn't ask her to tell her story, because her story is my story,

As the school year barely(刚刚) starts in Denver, French teacher Melanie is filled with worry that her students are always absent-minded. Yet, the problem isn't messaging, enjoying video games or delivering notes. Surprisingly, the problem is about the ongoing heat wave in Denver.
“Today was a little bit hot, so I noticed that kids were very sleepy and they had to get up to drink water quite often.” said Melanie, who works at Denver East High School. “If you lose too much water, you have to keep going to the water fountain, which can take away from their classroom experience.” While nodding off in class on a warm day may seem acceptable for average teens, Melanie's observation carries a bigger result than dry lips.
There have been quite a few media reports about teachers noticing that students were not able to focus on hotter days,” said RJisung Park, a researcher. “Does a hotter climate during the school year actually affect the rate of learning ” The drop in academic achievements couldn't be explained by hotter weekends or hotter summers, but the trend was connected to higher temperatures on school days alone.
The connection between lost learning and a greater number of hot days is one more example of how climate change is already affecting our lives, and it's an alarm bell for what we stand to lose in the future.
Humans still have time to lessen the global warming. Without any important changes in the next 10 years, the globe will be trapped in heat waves that might be too much for human beings.
8. What may cause students to be absent-minded according to the text
A. Video games. B. Text messages. C. Heat waves. D. Classroom notes.
9. What can be inferred from the second paragraph
A. Kids often go to the water fountain for lack of water.
B. Extreme heat may lower a kid's ability to learn.
C. Nodding off in class is a sign of respecting teachers.
D. Kids are more interested in drinking water than sleeping.
10. How does the author feel about dealing with the future global warming
A. Optimistic. B. Uncertain. C. Worried. D. Indifferent.
11. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The way that global warming continues.
B. The reasons why kids are absent-minded in class.
C. The hotter it grows, the more focused kids become.
D. The hotter it grows, the harder it will be for kids to learn.
D
"I'm going to fail !"My best friend cried. She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school.
The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist(完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures.
For example, failure can help build relationships. Once I was cooking dinner for a friend, I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! You can't imagine how excited I was after that. I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it.
Now it's clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end— it can be a beginning.
12. What did the author finally get from a failed cooking
A . Worries. B . A closer friendship.
C. Bad feelings. D . More experience.
13. Why did the author feel excited after the running test
A . Because she could work out regularly.
B . Because she received honey as a reward.
C . Because she achieved success after many failures.
D . Because she got another chance to take the test.
14. What does the underlined word“overcome” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Successfully deal with. B. Quickly respond to.
C. Narrowly escape from D. Eagerly come up with.
15. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage
A . to show the negative effects of failures
B . to point out her best friends fear of failures
C . to introduce different types of failures
D . to encourage the readers to face failures bravely

How to Be an Effective Member of a Team
Working in a team can be rewarding, but at times it can be difficult. To create a successful team, effective communication methods are necessary. Here we've outlined some ways to avoid some common team mistakes as well as some helpful advice.
Communicate
16 Letting bad feelings grow will only make you feel bad and want to isolate yourself from the group. Not only does it feel good to get the bad feelings out, but it will be better for the team in the long run.
17
People in your group will lose respect for you if you' re constantly blaming(责备) others for not meeting deadlines. Group members understand if you have a heavy workload and aren't able to meet a deadline. Saving something like. “I'm really sorry, but I' ll get it to you by the end of today.” will earn you a lot more respect than trying to make it seem like it's everyone else's mistake that leads to your missing the deadline.
Support Group Members' Ideas
If a team mate suggests something, always consider it! 18 And this makes you a good team member. After all, nobody likes a know-it-all.
Listen Actively
Look at the person who's speaking to you, nod, ask questions and acknowledge what's said by paraphrasing points that have been made. If you' re unclear about something that's been said, ask for more information to clear up any confusion before moving on. Effective communication is a vital part of any team. 19
Get Involved
Share suggestions, ideas, solutions and proposals with your team members. Take the time to help your fellow teammates. You can guarantee there will be a time in the future when you' ll need some help or advice. 20
A. Don't Blame Others
B. Avoid Showing Off
C. Thus, the value of good listening skills shouldn't be ignored.
D. Have faith that people will recognize when good work is being done
E. If you have a problem with someone in your group, talk to him about it.
F. And if you've helped them in the past, they' ll be more than happy to lend a helping hand.
G Considering the group's ideas shows you' re interested in other people's ideas, not just your own.
