Having a learning disability doesn't mean you can't learn，but you'll need some help and you'll need to work extra hard.If you have a learning disability remember that you are not slow.

Learning disabilities can be genetic(遗传的；基因的 )．That means they can be passed down in families through the genes.But kids today have an advantage over their parents.Educators now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works—and it's easier for kids to get the help they need.

“Dyslexia”is a learning disability that means a kid has a lot of trouble reading and writing.Kids who have trouble with math may have “dyscalculia”．Other kids may have “language disorders”，which means they have trouble understanding language and understanding what they read.

It can be confusing，though.How do we tell if a student has a learning disability? Reading，doing math，and writing letters may be difficult for lots of kids at first.But when those early troubles don't fade away (逐渐消失)after they have grown up，and it's really difficult for them to make any progress，it's possible the kid has a learning disability.

Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting.You might feel different from everyone else.But the fact is that learning disabilities are pretty common.And if your learning psychologist has found out which one you're facing，you're on the right route.Now，you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.But for this special help to really work，you'll need to practice the new skills you're learning.It may take a lot of effort (努力) every day.That can be a challenge，but you can do it.Soon，you'll enjoy the results of all your hard work: more fun and success at school!

If you have a cat, you already know that a cat isn’t a dog that doesn’t have to be walked. If you’re about to bring a cat into your family, you need to understand that basic fact. The common wisdom is that dogs are friendlier than casts.

In recent years, scientists who have done DNA studies have offered a better way to understand cats. Unlike other animals that people feed, cats domesticated themselves, and, in a way, trained humans. Cats decided to live close to humans because doing so benefited the casts themselves.

Studies show that cats have lived with humans for about 12,000 years, since people first settled down and started farming. When people started storing grain, mice arrived and started eating the grain. Clever cats figured out that mice settlements where people stored grain were easy for hunting, so they started hanging around. Cats did what they needed to do to get the people to let them stay, but they kept up their independence. Over time, cats allowed humans to get a bit closer to them. Later, the farmers did befriend the cats. Certainly, it didn’t do them any harm because they could see the cats were really helping them out by eating mice.

Today, about a third of American families have cats. In most of those homes, the cats are still more interested in pleasing themselves than in pleasing their human families. A dog may do anything it can to make you happy, but kitty will teach you to make kitty happy.

1.Compared with dogs, cats are______.

A. colder B. friendlier

C. more warm-hearted D. more frightening

2.According to the text, why do cats decide to stay close to humans?

A. To be useful to themselves B. To protect grain from mice

C. To rely on humans for food D. To keep up their independence

3.What may be the best title for the text?

A. A common point between dogs and cats

B. The reasons why people like dogs

C. A disadvantage of raising cats

D. The basic fact about cats.

Not too long ago, our teacher, being a “tree-hugger”(as the kids call her), had us write an essay on an environmental issue. I was eager to start, but something made me stop.

“What is an environmental issue?” one kid asked. “What if we don’t care about the environment?” another complained. “It’s not like it affects me.”

These comments astounded me. I have always cared about the environment and assumed that others did too. From the surprised look on my teacher’s face, I could tell she felt the same way.

In no time, I finished my essay. In my essay I wrote about logging(伐木), which is an important industry, but if we continue to cut down trees without replacing, it will damage the environment.

There are so many things that we can do to save our world. Recycling, of course, is always a good thing, but not everyone has a recycling plant nearby (I don’t). There are other ways to help the environment. Plant a tree. Don’t waste water.

I can’t stand it when a person’s excuse for not caring is “Nothing is going to happen in my lifetime, so why should I care?” Sure, the chances of something terrible happening are slim, but I want people to realize that if we don’t deal with it, someone will have to eventually. Do you want that to be your children? Or your children’s children?

When my teacher told me to read my essay to my class, I was a little embarrassed because I didn’t want everyone to call me “tree-hugger”. I realize now that if being a tree-hugger means you care about the environment, I’m a tree-hugger 100 percent. I just wish more people were.

1.Why do the students call their teacher “tree-hugger”?

A. She likes hugging trees.

B. She knows a lot about trees.

C. She grew up in the countryside.

D. She cares a lot about the environment.

2.At the beginning, the author stopped writing _____ .

A. to ask some questions

B. because of other kids’ comments

C. to listen to the teacher’s instructions

D. because he had no idea about the topic

3.The underlined word “astounded” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “_____” .

A. helped B. changed

C. shocked D. interested

4.Paragraph 5 is mainly about _____ .

A. what we can recycle

B. how we can save the earth

D. what damage we are doing to the earth

There is one type of illness in the world that has a severe effect on more people than anything else and is very deadly. If untreated, this illness could affect everything you do. What is this illness? Depression. Serious depression requires professional treatment. Self-induced depression is something each of us can change.

Everyone’s circumstances are different, but the causes of self-induced depression are common: low self-esteem, hurtful thinking and a bad attitude.

So how can we change the way we think, feel, and have a cheerful attitude?

First we must look at ourselves, truly and honestly examining our motives for what we wish to accomplish. If you are dissatisfied because you feel you haven’t or can’t do anything, then one step is needed—to set goals.

Always start your goals relatively small and easy to attain. Think of them as sand; one grain may be insignificant(微不足道的) but as a group they form the beach. Once you have set and attained small goals for yourself, move on to slightly larger, more challenging goals.It takes not just setting goals but positive thinking. How can we obtain this?

There are a number of factors that can make us think negatively and one of those is diet.In my opinion, a person who eats a lot of take-out and fast food is feeding their body junk. Start by eating better foods which give the body much NEEDED minerals. If your physical body is happy, it’s much easier for your mental body or “thinking ability” to be happy.[

Next, exercise. Half an hour a day is recommended for positive well-being. Then think about good memories you had, or generally think of things that make you smile. Remember, everything you wear costs money but to wear a smile is free. A smile can be the difference between an average day and a great day.

If you follow these steps, positive change is on the way.

A. Depression is a kind of illness that can’t be cured like some cancer.

B. Depression can all be cured successfully by doctors in an easy way.

C. Those who suffer from depression live in the same circumstances.

D. Those who suffer from depression hold negative attitudes.

2.According to the passage we can learn that ________.

A. a practical goal can help people to achieve a sense of success

B. we shouldn’t be satisfied with small goals that are insignificant

C. we should avoid challenging goals that may result in failure

D. people can enjoy happiness even if they set inappropriate goals

3.What can we infer from the reading passage?

A. Those who can achieve small goals can surely achieve big ones.

B. Depression has something to do with the food people eat.

C. You can only exercise half an hour if you want to get rid of depression.

Whether you' re a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect for your parents is an important value. Your parents are the people who raised you, devoting time, energy and money to your development. 1. No matter your age, there are 5 ways to show respect.

● Respect their belongings.

One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children, this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things. For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time. Lack of respect for a parent's belongings is a violation(违反，侵害) of personal boundaries(边界，界限). 2. And never borrow things without asking first.

● Punctuality .

3. Therefore, always be on time. For teenagers, showing up on time means coming home by curfew（宵禁）. Adult children should show up on time for family dinners or events, or to pick a parent up for a medical appointment. Call if you're going to be late because parents worry about children, no matter their age.

●4.

Remembering birthdays, anniversaries and other special days is a sign that you honor your parents. Make plans to take them to lunch or dinner or bake a cake or cookies. Most parents don't expect expensive gifts, but a handmade gift is always appreciated .A phone call from a grown child who lives too far for a visit is a welcome sign of respect.

● Be kind.

Kind words and affection are simple ways to show respect. Tell your parents you love them. Listen and allow your parents to speak without interruption. Show a sincere interest in what your parents have to say. Be patient with your parents and don't rush them. Never talk back or be rude or disrespectful. Acknowledge your parents' achievements. 5.

A. Don't take advantage of your parents' kindness and generosity.

B. Be a good listener.

C. Lateness indicates a lack of respect.

D. Treat your parents the way you would like to be treated.

E. Being respectful helps build positive relationships with others.

F. And they love you unconditionally throughout your life.

G.Celebrate with them.
