What to do if you don't feel popular？

●Try to take part in activities. Call your friends. Plan to do something. The worst feeling is staying home alone, because it makes you feel even more lonely.

●Try to make new friends. Choose friends carefully, not just because you think they're popular. And remember, making good friends takes time. Choosing a popular person to be friends with is okay. If they are nice.　

●Be yourself（保持独立）. If you want to become friends with someone who's popular, don't make yourself into someone you are not just to impress that person.

●Be nice. Be friendly. Be outgoing（开朗的）. But don't overdo it！Talk to trusted friends if you are feeling really bad. Or you might want to write it down in a journal（期刊）or diary.

●Do something special for yourself. You could take pictures of your friends, or collect their school pictures, and take a collage（拼贴画）to hang on your wall. This will remind（提醒）you, when you are feeling unpopular, that you really do have friends.

●Think up your own ideas. These suggestions might not work for everyone.

What to do if you have a problem with your teacher？

●Talk to your parents, or another adult who will listen to you and perhaps can help. Talk to your friends. Maybe they have had problems with the same teacher, too.

●Don't give the teacher a reason to have problems with you. Do your work, complete your task, attend the class seriously and take notes. Maybe you just need to give the teacher a chance（机会）.

●Try to find out what the problem is.

●Talk to the teacher if you feel comfortable doing this. Don't be nasty（闹别扭的）, but express your concerns（关心）. Listen to the teacher, as well.

●Just accept the fact that you're not going to love all your teachers.

Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important      : giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You needn’t worry if you       money.

        This is how I      with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store     in my mind, I step in and make the     to the storekeeper. If an accident takes place, the     of which I think the local police could use, I     him up and tell him about it, though I am not in     here. I found a rule about this world is to give     getting something back, though the     often comes in an unexpected form.

         One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special letter to my home, though it was     to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of     . More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was     . I was told at the window that there were     boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long     list. As I was about to be      , the postmaster appeared in the     . “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering an   __  delivery to your home?” I said it was. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office      we make one specifically for you.

Many of the employees think their career path and plans begin during their employment or when they already secured a job. But basically, if we look at what becomes of a person, you can root it from the upbringing of the person, to be more specific, from childhood.

    As parents, we usually groom our children’s future according to what we are or what we wanted to be. We buy them toys and educational materials according to what we dream our children would become someday. For example, we know that becoming a teacher means a lot of sacrifices and lots of time worked but the pay is not satisfying. Thus, if we see this profession not favorable financially, we discourage our children from becoming teachers. However, the earliest exposure of children is usually in the medical field profession (every time they visit the hospital for consultation or any medical requirements) and the education or teaching profession (by the time they start attending classes). Information other than the two professions mentioned came from the parents and later exposure or experiences when they grew up and learn of their interest according to their special skills.

    In career pathing, the parents’ role plays a major part for the individual’s success in identifying their chosen career. The best way is to support the child’s interest and not forcing them to take courses that the parents wanted for themselves. Support can be provided by helping them read materials on their field of interest, exposing them to the career and providing information as to the advantages and great efforts that one may take to accomplish their chosen field. This is not difficult nowadays. The internet and the publications are now very affordable and even the media provides the information for the different careers that our children may take. There are shows and programs that can provide a picture of the different field. But before you go to your television and change the channel of what your child is watching, check first if the program is fit for their age and maturity.

1. The underlined word “groom” in the second paragraph can be replaced by ___________.

  A. take care of         B. prepare         C. expect          D. feed

2. Why does the parents’ role play a major part for the individual’s success in identifying their chosen career?

  A. Because the best approach is to support the child’s interest.

  B. Because parents can help them read materials on their interest.

  C. Because parents can provide them with needed information.

  D. Because parents’ help and support is extremely important.

3. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

  A. The earlier, the better                     B. Work from childhood

  C. Career Path Begins During Childhood        D. Parent’s support in choosing a career

4. It can be inferred that __________.

A. parents play a major part in helping their children choose their career

B. parents have a great effect on their children’s life

C. one’s early education is very important

D. getting information about jobs is not difficult nowadays because of the internet

No fight can end,and no friendshiip can move on,until everyone says these little words:I’m sorry. Sometimes,though,they can be difficult to say.  71  

It is not about winning.

Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser.When you start fighting with a friend,it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong,or by making him be the first to apologize.

In reality,you’ll both lose if you let your fight ruin your friendship,and you’ll both win if you find a way to heal it.

  72  

You may have heard the expression “His pride stood in the way”. It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be “right” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever.  73     Remember: as time goes on,we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement,and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.

Take the first step.

Are you sick of fighting?Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship?   74     You don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong..But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for.Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long,or that you overreacted to something your friend did. If you say you’re sorry,it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same.   75   

A. Then try to be the first to apologize.

B. Stop thinking about your pride.

C. It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument.

D. Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about

E. Here are some things to keep in mind.

F. There are some special cases when you shouldn’t be the one to apologize first.

G. .Once you’ve both said it,you’ll both feel a million times better.

Thanksgiving Day was near. Lucy, the first grade teacher, gave her class a fun   36  — to draw a picture of somebody or something for which they were    37   . When the students    38  

their assignment, she found most of them drew some pictures of their family, teachers, friends or neighbors.

Douglas, however, made a different kind of picture. He was a   39   boy. He didn’t act the same as others. He always seemed to be shy and sad. He   40   played with other children during the break   41   they kindly invited him to. Lucy treated him very well. She always helped him and   42   him to be confident. Yes, his picture was different. He just drew a   43  . Nothing else. His abstract image   44   the imagination of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One guessed it was a mother’s hand, for mother’s hand gives children warmth and   45  . Another child guessed it was a police officer’s hand, because the police   46   people and care for people. And so the discussion   47  .

     When the children were discussing it, Lucy paused at Douglas’ desk,   48   down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy murmured, “It’s   49  , teacher.” Douglas was most thankful for her hand. She was   50   and felt tears in her eyes. She thought of the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there. She   51   how often she had said to him, “Take my   52  , Douglas. We’ll go outside.” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.”

     The story speaks of   53   thankfulness. It also says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship. They might not always say “  54  ” out, but they’ll remember the hand that you   55  out to give them love and be grateful to you always.
