A boy's kindness towards his classmates is popular online. Amanda Cox praised the boy on the Internet after she asked her students to share some of their pencils with their classmates.
"Today I was running out of pencils so I asked all of my kids to take out the pencils that they had in their desks," says Ms. Cox. "One student asked me if he could keep some pencils that his mom gave him for school."
"Of course, I said yes. He then said, 'Well, I guess I'll give you a few so my classmates can have them too.' I thought nothing of it and took the pencils that he handed me."
Ms. Cox quickly discovered that these weren't just common pencils, however-as she was sharpening the pencils, she noticed that they all had writing on the side.
The boy's mother had written personal, special messages of love and encouragement on every pencil, saying things like "You are perfect", "I am proud of you" and "This will be a great year".
"This probably took his mom a few minutes to do, but it lit up his whole day at school," says Ms. Cox. "he wasn't embarrassed that his mom wrote on his pencils. Thanks to his mom, he was reminded of his own worth and wanted to share the same feeling with his classmates."
Ms. Cox posted a photo of the pencils on Facebook where it was shared thousands of times by adults praising the boy and his mother for their encouragement. Some have even done something similar for their own students. Ms. Cox says she would remind more kids that they are important, talented, loved, and clever and so much more.

What should you do if there's an earthquake at school? How can you protect yourself when you are caught in a stampede(踩踏) ? March 25 this year provides you with a good chance to learn about safety.
This day is called the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students (NDESEMSS) (全国中小学生安全教育日) . The theme of the day this year is to give students more knowledge about safety and make sure their lives safe.
A survey done by the China Youth and Children Research Center showed that school accidents kill more elementary and middle school students than anything else. The main accidents come from stampedes, earthquakes, fires and sports injuries (伤害) .
What can we do to keep ourselves safe? Staying calm is the first and most important rule when facing accidents. But different accidents have different self-protection advice.
A stampede is possible anywhere. The larger a human crowd gets, the more likely stampedes become. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Lean to one side, curl up your body and bend your legs.
Earthquakes are common natural disasters (灾难) . When you feel the ground shake, drop down, take cover under a desk and hold on. You should stay indoors until the shaking stops. If you are outdoors, don't stay near buildings, trees or power lines.
When there's a fire, follow the teacher's instructions, leave the classroom quickly and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don't breathe in smoke.

Sophia is smart, talented and incredibly nice. As a team leader, she wishes Nathan, a member of her history project, did his part as required. But rather than criticize him, Sophia offered polite encouragement trying to push him instead, only to find that Nathan kept falling behind. It ended up that other team members, who had to take on more work, complained about both Sophia and Nathan, while Nathan himself complained that he was not treated fairly.
How did poor Sophia get into this mess? The primary reason was that Sophia failed in a key aspect of leadership- the duty to provide clear feedback(反馈)for team members. This isn't simply a duty but a correctness.
Failing to question or criticize Nathan's work, Sophia was in fact unkind. Many people are not a failure, like Nathan in this case; they're just in the wrong place, and still left in the dark. What they really need is feedback from their leaders. However, Sophia, in this case, withheld a gift from Nathan.
"You'd better use open, honest, continuous and clear feedback," says Harry Kraemer, a professor of management and strategy at Northwestern University, "to help figure out someone's best fit- in their particular job or in the organization."
This approach also prevents surprises. It's not uncommon to see someone suddenly removed from a team. They may have deserved it, but with a kind leader, they wouldn't have been caught off-guard because they would have been receiving open, honest, continuous and clear judgment of their performance.
Then why is it so hard for leaders to give good feedback? "We like to be liked," Kraemer says. So we avoid anything that may cause unpleasantness, but that kind of feedback usually helps members find the right place for them. "If you like to be liked, the chance of being respected is extremely low. However, if you start off focusing on being respected, you have a chance of being liked." Kraemer adds. The most difficult part for the leader, of course, involves criticizing someone. That is what a nice leader finds hard.
Back to Sophia's case. Not telling Nathan how he was on the team only made a hard situation worse. But with a different mindset, she could have set herself and Nathan up for success.
1.The expression "caught off-guard" in Paragraph 5 probably means"________"
A.kicked out carelessly B.treated unexpectedly

A.being nice to team members is likely to win leaders great respect
B.criticizing team members results in serious complaints to the leader
C.open and honest communication is a must for leaders and team members
D.praise and encouragement from leaders bring out better team performance
3.According to the writer, what Sophia should do is________.
A.patiently encouraging Nathan to try his best
B.gradually having Nathan dropped out of the project
C.politely showing Nathan the improvement he made
D.clearly telling Nathan her judgment of his performance
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.To be nice or to be kind? B.To be liked or to be criticized?
C.Is it necessary for leaders to be pleasing? D.Is it helpful for leaders to be demanding?

Trying to lose weight can be difficult, and while we all know exercise and diet are both basic needs, which one is more important?
If you had to choose, should you be hitting the gym, or eating salads? There are many ways you can burn a few hundred calories (卡路里): running for 20 minutes, an hour of swimming, or singing your favourite song 23 times. But the point is, it takes time to burn a lot of calories even with most tiring activity - not to mention the time spent on the way to the gym, and then back home to clean up.
Now, compare this to the number of calories in a chocolate bar - which is often over 200 calories. You could either walk for about an hour to burn that 200 calories, or you could simply not eat that chocolate bar. Which sounds easier to you? How about running for 30 minutes every day or cutting out those two cans of soda? Many physicians point out that there is a lot of high-sugar, high-fat, high-calorie foods we could cut from our diet, to see weight loss results more quickly. And studies also show that diet does actually play a bigger role in weight loss than exercise. A survey of 2000 children found that the level of physical activity was not the main reason for their weight. And a study of 3000 adults discovered that cutting down calories was connected to greater weight loss than exercise alone.
Of course, exercise has many health advantages besides weight loss, like slowing the aging process and improving mental health. But at the end of the day, if you expect to lose weight, you’re likely to get more bang for your buck if you focus on your diet first.

3.The energy in a chocolate bar ________.
A.is as much as the energy we need for singing a song 23 times
B.may be burnt by walking for about half an hour
C.should not be added to a diet when you want to lose weight
4.Which of following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.A survey of 3000 children found out that cutting down calories is more important
B.Exercise has many health advantages besides helping us lose weight
C.In fact, exercise is not needed when we want to lose weight
5.Which of the following would you choose as the title of the passage?
