Last spring I was walking in a park. In front of me there was a mum and her 3-year-old daughter. The little girl was holding on to a string, which had a balloon at the other end.

All of a sudden, a sharp gust (一阵风) of wind took the balloon from the little girl. I thought she would scream and cry.

But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon rise to the sky, she cheerfully shouted out, “Wow!”

I didn’t realize it at that moment. But that little girl taught me something.

Later that day, I received a phone call from a person with news of a sudden problem. I almost replied with “Oh no, what should we do?” But remembering that little girl, I found myself saying: “Wow, that is interesting! How can I help you?”

One thing is for sure — life is always going to put us off balance with things we don’t expect. But how we act to them is our choice. We can choose to be discouraged or interested.

No matter what the situation is, a “Wow!” will always beat “Oh, no.”

So next time you meet one of life’s unexpected gusts, remember that little girl and make it a “Wow!” experience. It always works.

1.Where was the little girl?

_____________________________________________________________________

2.How did the little girl feel when her balloon was blown away?

_____________________________________________________________________

3.Will you have an active mood when unexpected trouble comes up? Why or why not?

In a class discussion not long ago, I asked my students the following question, “How long could you feel comfortable and right without food?” One student quickly answered, “About two hours.” The answer is true. For most of us, we begin to feel hungry in a few hours after each meal. We can’t imagine starting our day by waking up hungry, going all day without food and going to bed with even greater hunger.

The statistics (数据) on hunger in the United States are much surprising to all of us. According to Feeding America, “50,000,000 Americans don’t know where their next meal is coming from. That’s the number in one of the wealthiest nations on the planet. And one in four of these 50,000,000 people are children.”

No Kid Hungry surveyed more than 1,000 teachers and principals around the country and found that 73 percent of teachers said they regularly teach hungry students who don’t have enough food to eat at home, and 87 percent of principals said they often see hungry students in school. As a result of so many hungry students, teachers spend nearly $40 a month buying food for kids with their own money.

This is the time of the year when children do not have the benefit (好处) of school lunch programs. Here are some ways we can do to help change this situation: First, we can give money to the local food bank. Next, we can donate food in our local area. Third, we can volunteer our time at a local food bank. So, on our next visit to the grocery store, add an extra food idem that can be donated to a food bank. Don’t wait to make a difference in a child’s life.

1.Which of the following is true?

A. Many Americans don’t have enough food to eat.

B. Most children in the US don’t want to eat breakfast.

C. American children are in hunger right now.

D. American schools don’t provide free breakfast.

2.The writer’s purpose of writing this text is to ______.

A. show the importance of school lunch programs

B. ask us to make some changes for children’s food

C. ask us to buy some more food when shopping next time

D. ask us to do something for students’ lunch programs

Jenny looked at the store window. There was nothing that she wanted more than a Happy Hannah doll. It was $29.95. Unluckily, Jenny didn’t even have the 95 cents.

As she crossed the street, she thought about doing her brother's housework, cleaning the floor, washing the dishes all month, but even then she would have only eleven dollars. Suddenly, something small and pink in the snow caught her eyes.

Jenny walked over and picked it up from the snow. It was a beautiful wallet. She opened the wallet and found many dollars and a woman’s driver’s license in it. Jenny put the wallet into her bag quickly. She turned around and walked back.

Jenny’s heart beat(跳动) fast as she went into the store. She had long dreamed about this moment, but something didn’t feel right. As she got to the Happy Hannah dolls, she pushed away her feelings. She grabbed(抓起) one and walked toward the checkout.

As Jenny was waiting to pay, her mobile phone rang. It was her grandma. Jenny’s heart was suddenly filled with love and warmth when she thought of her. She put the doll down and answered the phone.

“Hi, Grandma? I’m going to be a little bit late tonight...Alright...I love you, too.” Jenny left the store and walked all the way to 301 West Street. The woman who answered the door looked sad.

“Here, I found this in the snow,” Jenny said.

“Oh, good God! This is the money for the orphanage(孤儿院)! Thank you!”

After doing her brother's housework for three months, Jenny finally got a Happy Hannah doll. She was so happy because she could play with her doll and look her grandma in the eye.

Do you mind sharing your test scores with others?

On May 16, Guo Ruiting, 14, from Shenzhen Foreign Language School, had a big debate (辩论) with her classmates on this topic.

Guo believed that making the scores public would make students study harder. At first, she explained many theories (理论) that she had collected on the Internet. But they were too difficult to understand. So she was easily beaten by her opponent (对方) Du Xiaoshe.

“Publishing the results of our tests is bad for us,” said Du. He came to this conclusion (结论) after he failed his history exam one month ago. He thought it was just an accident. But he felt so hurt when his parents got a list of his marks. It also showed the marks of other students in his class.

His experience seemed to have won over many students. But Guo’s team didn’t give up.

“Don’t you forget the time when we all worked harder after knowing the average mark of Class 2?” asked Guo. “We’d have never been so good if we didn’t know how far we were behind. So it’s good to know others’ marks,” said Guo.

These words encouraged Du. He partly agreed with Guo’s team. He thought it was good to show the average mark of each class but not individual (个人的) marks. This is the perfect way to respect their privacy (隐私) and make them work hard as well.

Such a conclusion won most of the students’ minds.

“Sometimes we need to compromise (折中), both in a debate and in our life,” added Du.

1.In the report, students debated 　　　　.

A. whether students’ marks should be made public

B. whether teachers should tell parents about students’ marks

C. how students’ marks should be made public

D. whether students’ marks could make them study harder

A. been beaten back B. collected some information on the Internet

C. got much support D. failed in exams

3.Du Xiaoshe’s accident was that 　　　　.

A. he lost the debate B. the teacher made his mark public

C. he failed in an exam D. his parents got to know his poor mark

4.Both Guo and Du agreed that 　　　　.

A. students’ marks should be made public

B. the average mark of each class should be known

C. it was good to know other students’ marks

D. publishing the results of tests was bad for students

5.The report might be taken from the 　　　　 page of a magazine or a newspaper.
