3．Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don't achieve anything significant．I made an interesting discovery．This difference may at first look obvious，but it's quite opposite．（36）C
Everyone has a purpose behind their actions．If they don't，they wouldn't take action!（37）G  When they take action，at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them．
（38）D    What's the purpose behind your actions？Do you work to thrive（成功）or to survive？Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle？
Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences．People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bill will arrive．They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things．They hate their employment but don't quit because they doubt their own abilities to create something greater．I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once．That's a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things．（39）F   Therefore，you cannot achieve anything great．
Now there are some people who don't accept the"Life is hard"story and they are fuelled by an entirely different purpose．They work to thrive．（40）A   They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality．

A．And they don't think about why something cannot be done．
B．Such attitude invites great opportunities to you．
C．It lies in what motivates people to take action．
D．So let me ask you a few questions．
E．And this makes you take even more or better quality actions．
F．This state does not allow you to be creative．
G．But successful people have a completely different purpose behind the actions they take．

2．Crows Have Had a Bad Press
（36）EThey are smarter than any cat and sometimes children too．But despite this，they have a bad reputation．
"There are a few reasons for this，"says Kevin J．McGowan，a U．S．bird expert，who has studied crows for 25years．"One is that they're black，and in western European culture，that's bad．（37）DSo somebody died，lying on the side of the road，and the crows came in and picked at it because there it was，free food．"
Crows are also attacked by gardeners．It's not deserved，says John Marzluff，professor of wildlife science at the University of Washington．U．S．Marzluff says crows do more good than harm to a garden．"They eat a great variety of crop pest insects，"he said，"so in the family garden they are a good natural insecticide．"
（38）B
Crows have strong family values．They come closer to human beings in social behavior than any other animal studied．Crow society is family-based．（39）G．When you see a number of crows gathering，they're usually family groups that are helping each other make a living．
A crow has a big"vocabulary"．It can make around 30calls unique to itself，each with a different meaning．From their calls，crows can tell the difference between family members，neighbors and strangers．
Young crows like to play．They get an object like a leaf or a feather and they chase each other around，trying to get the object．Then whoever gets it gets chased．
（40）FThey let others know when they are calm，angry，fearful and playful．Some crow emotions and behavior are amazing，such as leaving goodies-candy，keys or shiny glass-for people who feed them，or pooping on the cars of people who bother them．

A．Crow emotions are wonderful
B．Here is something more about crows that you might not know．
C．Young crows show respect for their parents as humans do．
D．They also get associated with death because in Europe there are no vultures（秃鹰）．
E．Crows are very smart．
F．Crows express emotions．
G．Parents take care of their kids，just like people．

1．Anger is a kind of feeling．（36）F When your teacher gives you too much homework，when your team loses an important game，when a friend borrows your favorite thing and then breaks it，you may get really angry．
（37）D For example，you breathe faster，your face turns red，and you may want to break something or hit someone，but sometimes，you hide your anger．For example，you may hide it in your heart．The problem is that if you do this，you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt．
In fact，it's not good to hide your anger，and it's normal for you to get angry sometimes．（38）AWhen you get angry，you can talk about it with adults，such as parents，teacher，etc．（39）EHere are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry：count from 1to 100； give someone a hug go for a bike ride； think about good things，etc．
Remember that when you are angry，how you act can make everything better or worse．（40）B
Many things can make you angry．

A．But anger must be let out in the right way，without hurting others or yourself．
B．Don't let your anger control you．
C．As soon as you find your problems，you may cry to relax．
D．Usually，your body will tell you when you are angry．
E．After doing that，you'll find those bad feeling can start to go away．
F．Many things can make you angry
G．We can't be angry when we meet problems．

Explain that one way of Thanksgiving involves gratitude for having enough food to eat，and encourage your children to help you buy groceries for the food bank，or make a donation to a local soup kitchen．
Talk turkey．The wild turkey is native to the eastern states and northern Mexico．But it probably wasn't served at the first Thanksgiving feast．（39）A
（40）G Many books that discuss the Thanksgiving tradition from a variety of different perspectives（角度） are available for readers of all ages．

17．It's normal that people sometimes feel nervous．Everybody gets stressed from time to time．（36）C Some ways of dealing with stress 一like screaming or hitting someone一don't solve （解决），much．But other ways，like talking to someone you trust，can lead you to solving your problem or
at least feeling better．
Four steps for fighting stress，try taking these four steps，the next time you are stressed：
（1）Get support．When you need help，reach out to the people who care about you．Talk to"trusted adult，such as"parent or other relatives．（37）F They might have had similar problems，such as dealing with a test，or the death of a beloved pet．
（2）Don't take it out on yourself．Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves．Oh，dear，that's a good idea．Remember that there are always people to help you．Don't take it out on yourself．（38）A
（3）Try to solve the problem．After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends，it's time to get down to business．（39）E Even if you can't solve it all，you can solve a piece of it．
（4）Be positive．Most stress is temporary（暂时的）．Remember stress does go away，especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it．These steps aren't magic，but they do work．And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time，you'll help yourself feel better even faster．（40）D

A．Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation．
B．Notice your friends'feelings and find a way to help them．

16．Many adults are not aware of the very active social lives that their children lead．You might think that your young child does not yet have a social life．（76）B
Young children under the age of 5are in a stage of life where they need to be nurtured by their parents，guided and taught about the world around them．They have minimal independence and are generally always supervised by an adult．Even so，it is a stage of their lives when huge amounts of personality development and emotional development take place．（77）D
One of the things that always makes me chuckle is when I am in the supermarket or out and about and I see a young mother with her child．The mother is often busy multi-tasking，picking up items，calculating prices and soothing her young child all at the same time，while the child is engaging with the people around them．（78）AUsually the mother is completely unaware that her child is engaging in social interaction．Some babies smile at every passing person，undoubtedly developing the charm that will open many doors for them in later life．
Aside from all of the incidental ways that your child engages in social interaction，it is important to purposely set up opportunities for your child to socialize and interact with other children their age．（79） Households with many children can be ideal for providing natural opportunities for children to interact socially．However today's typical household contains just one or two children．
（80）FOrganizing play dates with other children their age is great，as is enrolling them in some type of activity for toddlers at the local library．Look around your community for activities that are safe，social and stimulating for your child and begin to purposefully involve your child in these activities for their social development．

A．Sometimes the child makes eye contact，some times an adult waves to the child or makes faces．
B．In reality though，even if your child spends the majority of their time right by your side，they interact directly or indirectly with everyone you interact with and more．
C．The fact is，many of the social skills that they learn as a young child will last them throughout their entire lifespan．
D．This development will affect their young social lives and，surprisingly to most，a lot of the social interaction that they will engage in for the remainder of their lives．
E．Anything aimed at children much younger than your child will bore them and anything aimed at children much older will frustrate them．
F．Taking young children to the local park to play while you watch and supervise is a great way to introduce them to playing with other children．
G．This gives them healthy opportunities to begin to develop socially．

15．I was diagnosed with allergies （过敏反应） when I was a little kid．Other than family，no one truly knows I have allergies，although I have to tell people it's allergies when my eyes start to tear up．（76）A Sometimes my friends just tease in a friendly way．
（77）DI look like a normal kid．I don't mind telling people about my allergies-after all，it's normal to have them．Having allergies hasn't affected my self-confidence．
（78）GFor example，I am a big traveler and I would enjoy going to see the cherry blossoms in Washington，D．C．But when I come anywhere within a 10-foot range of cherry blossoms it feels like I lose almost all my senses!Even though it's only temporary，I still feel miserable．
My allergies haven't stopped me from traveling when I can，though．My class trip was to Williamsburg in Virginia．At first it was supposed to be during cherry blossom time，and that had me worried．（79）E
I've had to rethink some of my dreams，too．Since I'm allergic to animals with fur，I may need to adjust my hopes of being a veterinarian （兽医） or working in an agricultural-science department．（80）F
Now I have learned to deal with my allergies and even see the good side sometimes．Having allergies has taught me not to be prejudiced about people's health conditions．

A．I do get made fun of．
B．My allergies have been getting better．
C．If I don't take my medicine I can get really bad breath．
D．You can't tell by looking at me that I have a health condition．
E．Fortunately，it was changed to February，so I went and had the best time!
F．But I'm interested in so many things and there are plenty of other careers out there!
G．Sure，my allergies have held me back from doing some of the things that I love to do．

14．What is the purpose of reading or studying？If you can't remember what you read or study，it will be a waste of time．（51）G One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading．
Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is，"No，thank you．I'm just looking．"？Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want，you are not likely to find it．But suppose you say instead，"Yes，thank you．I want a pair of sun glasses．"She says，"Right this way，please．"It's quite the same with your studying．If you choose a book，"just looking"for nothing in particular，you are likely to get just that-nothing．（52）FYour reasons will vary； they will include reading or studying"to find out more about"，"to understand the reasons for"and"to find out how"．
（53）ABefore you start to study，you say to yourself something like this，"I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America"．Because you know why you are reading or studying，you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better．
Reading is not one single activity．（54）D As you read，you take in ideas rapidly and accurately．But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read．You have a kind of mental conversation with the author．
This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it，relating it to what you already know，and using it for your own purposes．（55）B One part of critical reading，as you have discovered，is distinguishing between facts and opinions．Facts can be checked by evidence．Opinions are one's own personal reactions．Another part of critical reading is judging sources．Still another part is drawing accurate inferences．

A．This is an effective studying way．
B．In other words，a good reader is a critical reader．
C．You remember better when you know what you're reading．
D．At least two important processes go on at the same time．
E．It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study．
F．But if you do know what you want，you are almost sure to get it．
G．Perhaps you have already discovered some good ways to keep yourself from forgetting．
