I suddenly felt sorry．I knew this mall would take all that he could get, so I came up to him and gave some fruit to him．The man, with wrinkles(皱纹)on his face, looked up in surprise and took what I gave him．
A big smile appeared on his face and I felt very pleased．Then he said, “Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some delicious fruit．This is my daughter's lucky day．Thank you, boy．” Then he went away, singing a song．
Just then．I realized what the saying “Giving is getting” really meant, Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can offer help and everyone will be helped by showing kindness．Giving sometimes doesn’t cost you much, but it means a lot to the people who you help．
The man’s happiness at that moment comes into my mind every time I have the chance to help others．

According to some researchers, you should not praise children for everything that they do. It does not help them build self-confidence.
Most parents and teachers agree that praise can help increase children's self-confidence -the more, the better. However, according to some researchers, only proper praise is good for children. If adults praise everything children do, it makes children look for praise all the time, not trying to do their best. "Teachers should not say things like 'good job' or 'nice work' whenever a child does anything. They should encourage them to continue to improve," some researchers advise.
Another idea is that children with high self-confidence are happier, and do better at school. About this, Marshall Duke, a researcher in children, says, "High self-confidence brought in by too much praise does not make children happier, get more, or become able to do more. Finding a child's advantages (强项) and developing them can help build confidence more than too much praise can." Praise also loses its effect (影响) if it is given equally to all students.
"It's important to tell children the truth about what they've done. Honest feedback (反馈) is far better than empty praise," Duke adds. "People have got into the habit of not telling children when they're wrong. That makes it hard for them to deal with difficulties when they grow up. That's just how the world is."
( )1. According to some researchers, if parents praise their children too much, their children will ______.
A. always look for praise B. increase self-confidence
C. become strong D. do better in their studies
( )2. In order to help children build self-confidence, some researchers advise parents to ______.
A. make them live more happily B. let them do more difficult work
C. help them do better in school D. encourage them to improve
( )3. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage
A. Praise makes children become successful.
B. Children don't know what they're really good at.
C. The same praise for all children has no meaning.
D. Duke thinks praise is more important than finding children's strengths.
( )4. What is the last paragraph about
A. It's important to have the habit of praising children.
B. Children should know their mistakes as soon as possible.
C. We should praise children honestly and tell them their mistakes.
D. What children with high self-confidence are like.
D
Question: When is a fish not really a fish Answer: When it’s a jellyfish (水母). A jellyfish, or jelly, is a soft creature that swims slowly through water. They don’t have bones (骨头), brains, eyes, ears, and hearts like true fish.
However, jellyfish do well without these body parts. They live in every ocean in the world. There are hundreds of kinds of jellies. The number of jellyfish keeps increasing.
Jellyfish also need oxygen to live. Their skin is so thin that oxygen can pass through it and enter their bodies. If you ever see a jellyfish, look at it carefully. You can even see its stomach through the skin.
All animals must protect themselves against danger. And when a jellyfish touches an animal or person, it gives off poison (毒液). If you go swimming in the ocean, watch out for jellyfish. Get out of the water if you see them. If you see a jellyfish on the sand, don’t pick it up.
Sometimes, hundreds of jellies appear at once. These large groups are called “swarms” or “blooms”. Recently, a “swarm” of jellyfish covered one end of the Gulf of Mexico. Why are there more jellyfish now than in the past There are two possible reasons.
First, adult fish and jellyfish eat much of the same food. In some places, too many adult fish have been caught by humans. This leaves more food for jellies. Second, farmers use fertilizer (化肥) on their fields. When it rains, some fertilizer gets washed into rivers. It flows into the oceans. There, it grows more plants and reduces the oxygen in the water. Jellyfish can live on less oxygen than fish.
( )1. The author warns people not to pick up jellyfish on the sand probably because _____.
A. they’re dangerous B. they are getting oxygen
C. they hate being disturbed D. they’re searching for food
( )2. One of the reasons for the increase in the number of jellyfish today is that _____.
A. they have plenty of food to eat B. people are not allowed to catch them
C. they have few enemies D. the oceans they live in become cleaner
( )3. According to the text, jellyfish _____.
A. eat lightly B. don’t have mouths
C. can survive on little oxygen D. eat differently from fish
( )4. The author writes the text to _____.
A. compare fish with jellyfish B. introduce jellyfish to readers
C. call on readers to protect jellyfish D. tell readers to watch out for jellyfish
IV．Vocabulary
1 .I wonder how to use the computer -That’s easy. I___________ (show) you later.
2 .Her mother was looking at him______(angry) because he broke the expensive vase.
3. This is the___________(bad) movie that I have ever seen this year.
4 .I____________(prefer) to walk rather than stay at home when I was a child.

V. Grammar cloze
I heard a story about an older woman who 1 (stand) in line at the Post Office. She communicated with a young man next to her. The young man 2 (notice) that she had no package to mail, and asked why she was standing in line. She said that she just needed a few stamps. “Ma’am, you must be 3 (tiring) standing here. Do you know there’s a stamp machine over there in the corner ” He pointed to the machine 4 (build) into the wall. “Thank you,” the lady replied, “but I’ll just wait here a little 5 (long). I’m getting close to the window.” “But it would be so much easier for you not to stand in this long line and buy your stamps from the machine.” The woman smiled and answered, “Oh, I know. But that old machine would never ask me how my grandchildren are getting along.”She had a need greater than the need for postage stamps—a need to feel 6 (connect) to other people. And it was a need that could not be met by a stamp machine.

Question: When is a fish not really a fish Answer: When it’s a jellyfish (水母). A jellyfish, or jelly, is a soft creature that swims slowly through water. They don’t have bones (骨头), brains, eyes, ears, and hearts like true fish.
However, jellyfish do well without these body parts. They live in every ocean in the world. There are hundreds of kinds of jellies. The number of jellyfish keeps increasing.
Jellyfish also need oxygen to live. Their skin is so thin that oxygen can pass through it and enter their bodies. If you ever see a jellyfish, look at it carefully. You can even see its stomach through the skin.
All animals must protect themselves against danger. And when a jellyfish touches an animal or person, it gives off poison (毒液). If you go swimming in the ocean, watch out for jellyfish. Get out of the water if you see them. If you see a jellyfish on the sand, don’t pick it up.
Sometimes, hundreds of jellies appear at once. These large groups are called “swarms” or “blooms”. Recently, a “swarm” of jellyfish covered one end of the Gulf of Mexico. Why are there more jellyfish now than in the past There are two possible reasons.
First, adult fish and jellyfish eat much of the same food. In some places, too many adult fish have been caught by humans. This leaves more food for jellies. Second, farmers use fertilizer (化肥) on their fields. When it rains, some fertilizer gets washed into rivers. It flows into the oceans. There, it grows more plants and reduces the oxygen in the water. Jellyfish can live on less oxygen than fish.

V. Grammar cloze
I heard a story about an older woman who 1 (stand) in line at the Post Office. She communicated with a young man next to her. The young man 2 (notice) that she had no package to mail, and asked why she was standing in line. She said that she just needed a few stamps. “Ma’am, you must be 3 (tiring) standing here. Do you know there’s a stamp machine over there in the corner ” He pointed to the machine 4 (build) into the wall. “Thank you,” the lady replied, “but I’ll just wait here a little 5 (long). I’m getting close to the window.” “But it would be so much easier for you not to stand in this long line and buy your stamps from the machine.” The woman smiled and answered, “Oh, I know. But that old machine would never ask me how my grandchildren are getting along.”She had a need greater than the need for postage stamps—a need to feel 6 (connect) to other people. And it was a need that could not be met by a stamp machine.
