Section Ⅳ 写作指导
演练佳作
A peacock(孔雀)was very unhappy with her ugly voice，so she spent most of her days complaining about it.
“It is true that you cannot sing，”said the fox，“but look how beautiful you are！”
“Oh，but what good is all this beauty，”cried the peacock，“with such an unpleasant voice！”
“Listen，”said the fox，“each one owns something good：you have such beauty；the nightingale (夜莺)has her songs；and the owl(猫头鹰)has his eyes.Even if you had a sweet voice，you would still complain about another thing.Why can't you just be happy about what you have already got？”

After reading it, I understand that we teenagers should find and make good use of our advantages, stopping complaining about the shortcomings all the time.
Many people around me make the same mistake, who only focus on what they cannot get.Take my friend Mike as an example.He does very well in all subjects, ranking as Top 10 in most of the exams.But he usually complains that he can't play basketball well.Never will he know how much we admire him! In fact，nobody can develop very well in all aspects even if he/she is a talent.So we should stay positive and value what we have instead of complaining too much.UNIT 2 Section Ⅳ
夯基提能
Ⅰ.阅读理解
One night, during the first of my eldest son's three basketball games, we happened to be sitting next to a lady with a young son.The little boy looked slightly younger than my youngest son.At one point in the game, the little guy looked over to my son, and said, “Wanna be my friend？” My husband leaned over to tell me what he heard.I spent the next 20 minutes taking pictures of my oldest son on the court, and my youngest son, with his new friend, playing games two seats down from where I sat.It was a heart-warming scene and reminded me how easy it can be to make new friends.
A few hours earlier, we went to a downtown cafe for an afternoon treat.There were no free tables for four, so we took a table for two, and crowded into the small space, each taking a bite of everyone else's order.We were loud.We were likely annoying the college students with open laptops, drinking coffee and working hard to finish midterm papers.One such young lady came over to our table and said, “I have more room at my table.I am happy to trade with you guys so you can spread out.” It was a simple act but it showed a selfless heart.We politely refused her offer, but her kindness stuck with me for hours after it happened.
These are just two examples of everyday kindnesses I often take for granted.I could name so many more.Although often overlooked, these small acts of service, friendliness and human care are what it takes to make the world go round.
