“Cleverness is a gift while kindness is a choice. Gifts are easy - they re given after all. Choices can be hard."
-Jeff Bezos.
I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I'd never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I'd been married for a year. I told my life MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn't work since most start-ups don't, and I wasn't sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I'd always wanted to be an inventor, and she wanted me to follow my passion.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I admired very much. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said. “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but eventually, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision not to try at all.
After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.

Many kids help out around the house with chores such as emptying the dishwasher, putting laundry away, and taking out the trash. In exchange, some kids get allowances(补贴）or other rewards such as extra computer time.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards for doing chores. Susie Walton, a parenting educator and family coach, believes that by rewarding kids, parents are sending a message that work isn’t worth doing unless you get something in return. ’’Running any kind of household is a team effort, Susie said. "A home is a living space for everyone in the family. It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house, and that families decide together how they want their home to look, and how they are going to keep it looking like everyone wants it to look.”
Other people believe that getting a cash allowance or other rewards motivates kids to do chores, and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to earn money. There are also new applications that give kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed(兑取) either online or in the real world. With the ChoreMonster app, kids earn digital points by completing chores that they can turn in for real-life rewards such as extra Xbox time or a trip to the mall. “Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,’’ says Chris Bergman, founder of ChoreMonster. “Kids need positive reinforcement（强化）to help motivate them."
What do you think Should kids be rewarded for doing chores Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return
Write a 200-word response. Send it to tfkasks4you@. Your response may be published in a future issue of Time For Kids. Please include your grade and contact information of your parent or teacher if you want your response to be published. The deadline for responding is February 18.

B. parents decide what kids can do for the family
C. kids have the responsibility to share housework
D. kids can get extra computer time for doing chores

Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity(湿度）and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.
45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.
“ We do not yet know the mechanisms(机制）involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can’t yet quantify. ’’
The change is big in cold-blooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures are enough to make retiles (爬行动物）smaller. An increase of only 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growing.
Warm-blooded animals aren’t immune(免除）from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaken And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records.
This is not the first time this has happened in Earth’s history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.
The speed of modem climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times climate change will be shown in the future.
32. What does the text mainly talk about/
A. Why some species become smaller.
B. How climate changes in Earth’s history
C. Climate change has many negative effects.
D. Species are becoming smaller as climate gets warmer.
33. The underlined word “trumped” m the first paragraph probably mean .
A. beater B. gained C. strengthened D. equaled
34. Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that .
A. they have found the exact causes for creatures getting smaller.
B. increase in energy use can lead to creatures getting smaller.
C. climate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animals.
D. all the animals on the earth have become smaller.
35 What does the author feel about the climate change
A. Worried B. Optimistic C. Disappointed D. Shameful

Could your body replace mobile-device batteries Researchers have developed a way to create the power equivalent (相当于)of two double-A batteries, using nothing more than motion of the human bodv.
36 The energy is captured and used by nano generators(纳米发电机）, according to a team of scientists from Georgia Institute of Technology. This research, presented at a meeting of the American Chemical Society, demonstrated how a small, flexible chip containing millions of tiny wires—500 times thinner than a human hair—could use the human heart to create electrical energy. 37
Any kind of bodily movement could theoretically be used to generate power, and nano wires can also generate electricity in response to wind, rolling tires, or other kinds of motion. 38 But these most recent findings do signal a breakthrough.
Researchers are convinced the technology has a future. “A few volts may not seem like much. 39” said the project’s lead scientist, Zhong Lin Wang. "Additional nano wires and more nano generators, put together, could produce enough energy for powering larger electronics. 40 ”
A. The technology is not new.
B. Then we can use it to charge an iPod or a cell phone.
C. Anything from walking to a standing heartbeat could produce energy.
D. So it is necessary to save energy in case we run out of it at the sky point.
E. There is still a long way to apply this kind of technology in our daily life.
F. The researchers used a nano generator to power an LED light and LCD display.
G But it has grown by leaps and bounds over previous versions of the nano generator.

I am Li Hua, a Senior 3 student in China. I am writing to convey my heartfelt gratitude to one of the students in your school.
Whenever I think of that experience, my gratitude is beyond description. Last Sunday, while touring around London, so obsessed with the charming landmarks was I that I lost my way. Surrounded by strangers, I was in great panic. Surprisingly, a boy dressed in the uniform of your school offered to direct me to my destination. To my regret, the boy was gone before I asked about his name. The boy is 180 meters or above in height with curly blond hair, deep-set blue eyes and a hooked nose. Could you kindly find out the boy's identity and keep me informed so that I can thank him in person
Please accept my sincere thanks for bringing out such a warm-hearted student. May you be blessed in everything you do.
Looking forward to your early reply.
