晨背佳作范文选登Dear Editor，
I am Li Hua, a student from Xin Hua Middle School, and in my spare time I often visit your website，from which I know that you are collecting topics for discussion. Being interested in it, I’d like to recommend my topic，which is “We Should Be Thankful ”. As you know, we middle school students，the new generation, who were born in the early 1990s, 晨背佳作范文选登have been growing up with so much love from others. Some of us always take it for granted that our parents, grandparents and teachers should take care of us. Needless to say, we seldom think of others’ feelings. Therefore, I hope by discussing this topic, we can learn to thank those who always give us their selfless love.
Wish your activity a success.
Yours，

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
(2010年江苏启东市一调)Not long ago，people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old.Yet doctors in the United States say babies begin learning on their first day of life.
Scientists note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment.They say a baby will smile if her mother does something the baby likes.A baby learns to get the best care possible by smiling to please her mother or other caregivers.This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings.
One study shows that babies can learn before they are born.The researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman.Then，they played a recording of a short story.On the day the baby was born，the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother.They did this by placing a device in the mouth of the newborn baby.
The baby would hear the story if he moved his mouth one way.If the baby moved his mouth the other way，he would hear a different story.The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he had heard before he was born.They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.
Another study shows how mothers can strongly influence social development and language skills in their children.
Researchers studied the children from the age of one month to three years.The researchers attempted to measure the sensitivity of the mothers.The women were considered sensitive if they supported their children’s activities and did not interfere unnecessarily.They tested the children for thinking and language development when they were three years old.Also，the researchers observed the women for signs of depression.
The children of depressed women did not do as well in tests as the children of women who did not suffer from depression.The children of depressed women did poorly in tests of language skills and understanding what they heard.
These children also were less cooperative and had more problems dealing with other people.The researchers noted that the sensitivity of the mothers was important to the intelligence development of their children.Children did better when their mothers were caring，even when they suffered from depression.

(2010年山东兖州市模块检测)You wake up in the morning，the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time.Then the telephone rings，you say hello，and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing(令人沮丧的)tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.Are you still in a wonderful mood？Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness.It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad.No wonder they can hardly win others’pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger(匕首)of a negative person is put in you，you have the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a co-worker，or a relative.In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible.Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to (附着)you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness.Life is too short to feel negative.Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

Ⅳ.语法专练
本单元语法——直接引语和间接引语(Ⅰ)
1．He said he________his old friends for a long time.
A．didn’t see B．wouldn’t see
C．hasn’t seen D．hadn’t seen
解析：选D。本题考查动词时态。根据主句的he said和间接引语中的时间状语for a long time可知谓语动词要用过去完成时态。
2．He called me this morning and asked where ________last night.
A．did I go B．was I
C．I was D．I had been
解析：选C。本题考查宾语从句的时态和语序。asked之后的句子要用陈述语序，再根据时间状语last night可知要用一般过去时。
3．He was told________he could recover and return to work in a week.
A．when B．whether
C．that D．why
解析：选C。本题考查宾语从句的引导词。空后是完整的句子，有了时间状语就不能用when，既然是告知事实状况，所以用that引导。
4．When asked________they needed most，the kids said they wanted to be loved.
A．what B．why
C．whom D．which
解析：选A。本题考查宾语从句的引导词。分析前半句句子成分以及后半句孩子的回答可知，此处用what引导宾语从句且在从句中作needed的宾语。
5．The moment I got home，my wife asked me________ I had been to the hospital.
A．when B．why
C．whether D．that
解析：选C。本题考查宾语从句的引导词。若选A项或B项，宾语从句的时态应为一般过去时，that用来陈述事实，而前面是动词asked，用来表示疑问，所以选whether。
