13.On Monday evening,I received a message online from a student who had got a very mean message in his locker (小柜).He took a picture of it and sent it to me asking for (41)B.I suggested that he (42)A me at break the following morning.
A few hours later,I (43)A on the Internet that he had posted the picture of the mean note and asked if anyone (44)B who it was.Obviously,he was trying to give the person who did it a little(45)A in coming forward.
The next day when the (46)C came,the boy came to me and another (47)Dwas with him.The boy showed me another note he had received.(48)D this was a heartfelt (49)C.I asked him if he knew who had written it,and the boy who came with him (50)B:"It was me.I don't know(51)B I did it,but I know it was wrong and not at all (52)D.So I wrote him this note.I also wrote 150post-its (便利贴) with kind sayings on them and(53)A them onto all the lockers.I just wanted to do something to try to (54)C for my meanness."
My heart felt so full of (55)D for this boy.I told him how (56)C I thought it was of him to come (57)D and how amazing it was that he did something kind to try to balance his mistake.I turned to the boy who received both notes and asked him if he also (58)A the bravery and could(59)B.Without hesitation,he said:"Yes.(60)D.Courage is virtue."

11.Imagine spending 1,182hours working hard and receiving no encouraging words.This was the situation I found myself in as I(41)Ba new swim team with a Russian coach.As a long-time swimmer,I was used to receiving plentiful praises and(42)Dspeeches from my coaches.(43)C,after practicing for a few weeks,I noticed I did not hear any (44)Alike"you're almost there","congratulations",or"you're doing great"that(45)Bme through the hard practice.I received scoffs(嘲笑) when I was expecting(46)Band praises.To me,Vladimir seemed like a(47)Cman.
As I was trying to understand him through his heavy accent,I realized that Vladimir had been trained and(48)Cby the culture in Russia and that led to his different coaching style and unusually high(49)D.He spent over 1,182hours(50)A,receiving no praises and was simply expected to(51)D.This method of coaching that seemed so foreign to me was from what he(52)A,leaving home at the age of twelve,and eventually winning an Olympic medal.
I began to appreciate his(53)Cto give out praises.He had a much different idea on how best to coach and motivate swimmers.He did not feel the(54)Bto say compliments(称赞),since he believed one should be(55)Dwithout these praises.
It was the fact that he was so different from my previous coaches that made him(56)A.He forced me to really think about why I was swimming.I learned to swim not for(57)Cbut to find the motivation.It became clear to me that the(58)Dof experiencing different coaching styles is that each one can bring out the best in me if I learn from these(59)A.Various training styles may be (60)B to me at the start but can help me grow in many ways.

10.My daughter was a shy child,not a joiner.My memories of her early years involve me gently urging her to try (41)A activities,like bouncing teddies with other kids at playgroup.When she was four,she attended her first class in the local gymnastic club's recreational program.She loved her lessons,and I loved taking her there.When she showed friends what she could do,she showed (42)B.
Two years later,a new teacher (43)A.She was a perfectionist,and I felt(44)C when she complained about my daughter's careless form.The harder she pushed,the less(45)D my kid was.I decided to chat with the teacher after one class and thought I saw something in her face:she didn't like my daughter.(46)C I didn't register for the next term.
The decision troubled me for (47)D.I suggested rejoining a later session,but my daughter quietly(48)B.Then,one day when she was about 13,she cried unexpectedly:"I wanted to stay in that gymnastics class!I (49)B wanted to quit!"
I was shocked.Had I misread the situation?Did I keep my daughter from working it out on her own terms?I shared my (50)D with a child and family expert."You have to respect that she doesn't want to do all the things you want to do,"Kolari told me.
(51)A we talked,I realized I'd ignored all the activities my daughter followed on her own.She taught (52)C to knit (编织) at eight and quickly surpassed me in skill.She can program a computer.Her (53)B always impressed me,so why did I always keep thinking about group activities?
(54)B there's one truth to a tight-scheduled child,it's that parents involve themselves too much in their kids'activities.I did make one(55)D when my daughter reached high school:she had to take a music class.Right around that time,she (56)D a friend's guitar.She (57)C a band and learned drums,then guitar.But (58)D of this required my encouragement.
"If your child is (59)C home because they're afraid of failure,it's worth (60)B them,"Kolari says.

4.It's hardly surprising that weather is a favorite topic for so many people around the world.It (50)B where we choose to live,what we wear,our moods,and perhaps even our national features.A sunny day can lessen the deepest (51)B,while very bad weather can destroy homes and threaten lives.
The human race has always tried to (52)A the weather,especially in areas of the world where there are many changes.Two popular traditional ways of predicting weather use pine cones(松果) and seaweed(海草).When the air has a high level of humidity(湿度),there is a higher chance of rain.When the humidity is low,there is more chance of (53)C weather.Pine cones and seaweed feels dry when the humidity is low,(54)B high humidity has the opposite effect.
Today's methods of prediction increasingly depend on (55)C.Satellites,balloons,ships,aircraft and weather centers with (56)A equipments send data to computers.The data is then (57)B,and the weather is predicted.However,(58)D this system can not predict weather for longer than about a week.
A recent study by an Australian scientist suggests that certain people may have a special (59)A for predicting weather.However,it is (60)D that these people could use their talent in another way,since the same group had a lot of success in predicting changes in another system-the stock market.
It (61)C that a study of weather may also enable scientists to predict the sudden (62)A of a disease.An Ebola epidemic (a kind of disease) in Uganda in the year 2000came after the same rare (63)D conditions that had been present before a sudden spread of the disease 6years earlier.Efforts to (64)C the spread of air-borne diseases such as foot and mouth are also strongly dependent on favorable wind conditions.
