17．Stanley，as a son of a very poor farmer，left school early and went to work in a factory，for education was for the rich then．So，the world became his school．With great interest，he read everything he could，listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his hometown．"There's so much to learn，"he'd say．"Though we're born stupid，only the stupid remain that way．"He decided that none of his children would be refused an education．
Therefore，Stanley insisted that we should learn at least one new thing each day．Though，as children，we thought this was crazy，we'd still do that．And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we learned．We would talk about the news of the day．Sometimes the news was unimportant，but it was always taken seriously．Stanley would listen carefully and discuss it with us．
Then came the moment-the time to share the day's new learning．
"Felice，"he'd say，"tell me what you learned today．"
"I learned that the population of Denmark is…"
Silence．
Stanley was thinking about what was said．"The population of Denmark．Hmm．Well…"he'd say．"Get the map； let's see where Denmark is．"And the whole family went on a search for Denmark．
This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn．Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts．
As children，we thought very little about these educational wonders．Our family，however，was growing together，sharing experiences and joining in one another's education．And by looking at us，listening to us，respecting what we learned，confirming our value，Stanley was surely our most influential teacher．
Later during my training as a future teacher，I studied with some of the most famous educators．They were imparting（传授） what Stanley knew all along-the value of continual learning．His skills have served me well all my life．Not a single day has been wasted，though I can never tell when knowing the population of Denmark might prove useful．

15．People use their mouths for many things．They eat，talk，shout and sing．They smile and they kiss．In the English language，the word"mouth"has many meanings．But some of them are not so nice．
For example，if you say bad things about a person，the person might protest（抗议） and say"Do not bad mouth me．"
Sometimes，people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person's feelings．Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell．The speaker might say，"I really put my foot in my mouth this time．"In other words，he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing．
Sometimes when one person is speaking，he says the same thing that his friend was going to say．When this happens，the friend might say，"You took the words right out of my mouth!"
Some people have lots of money because they were born in a very rich family．There is an expression for this，too．You might say such a person"was born with a silver spoon in his mouth．"
This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives"from hand to mouth．"This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life，like food．

13．Do you want to be successful in everything you do？If so，then （16）how？Here is an example．
There was a farmer who （17）grewcorn （玉米） all his life．Each year he took his corn to the market．Then each time his corn was chosen as the（18）bestand won the first prize．
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something （19）surprising about how he grew it．The farmer （20）offered his seed（做种子的） corn to his neighbors．
"How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors？"the reporter asked．"You know they are taking part in the（21）competitionwith you each year．"
"Why，sir，"said the farmer，"didn't you know？The（22）windpicks up pollen （花粉） from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field．If my neighbors grow（23）bad corn，cross-pollination （异花传粉） will affect the quality of my corn．So if I want to grow good corn，I must （24）helpmy neighbors to grow good corn．"
The farmer knows much about the connection of life．His corn cannot improve（25）unless his neighbor's corn improves．
As a great man says，"We make a living by what we （26）grow； we make a life by what we give．"We can't（27）livewithout food，clothes，and many other things．However，a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get，（28）butby how much we can give others．Giving，instead of taking，makes us（29）different from other animals．
So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find（30）happiness in their life．

12．-Our new school has anareaof 1.5square kilometers．-Wow，it is so big．

11．Many people think the dinosaurs were the biggest animals that ever lived．They are wrong．The world's biggest animal is still living and it lives in the ocean．It is called the blue whale （鲸鱼）．Blue whales can be as long as 30meters and weigh as much as 1，000kilos．The largest dinosaurs weighed only 500kilos．
The whale is not only the world's biggest animal，it is also one of the smartest．We know that whales can communicate with each other，although we do not know what they are saying．Perhaps one day we will learn how to communicate with whales，and then they will be able to tell us about themselves．
Although they live in the ocean，whales don't lay eggs like fish do．They are mammals （哺乳动物）．They give birth to babies and produce milk inside their own bodies to feed them．Humans are also mammals．
There are lots of stories about whales，but perhaps the most famous story is Moby Dick，which was written by an American writer named Herman Melville．In this book，a sailor named Captain Ahab spends a lot of time trying to find and kill an enormous white whale named Moby Dick．
Sadly，there are not many kinds of whales left．People have killed them for food and other things for thousands of years．However，there are now laws （法律） to stop people killing most kinds of whales．So perhaps there will be more of them in years to come．

10．Green is an important color in nature．It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees．It is also the color of most growing plants．
Sometimes，the word"green"means young，fresh and growing．For example，a greenhorn is someone who has no experience．In the 15th century，a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns（角）had not yet developed．A century later，a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war．By the 18th century，a greenhorn had the meaning it has today-a person who is new in a job．
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb（大拇指）．The expression comes from the early 20th century．A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well．The Green Revolution（绿色革命）is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains．It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs．
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling，jealousy（嫉妒）．The green-eyed monster is not a dangerous animal from outer space．It is an expression used about 400years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play"Othello"．It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants．
In most places in the world，a green light is a signal（信号）to move ahead．In everyday speech，a green light means approval（赞成）to continue with a project．

9．Because of different reasons，I could neither go abroad nor attend a language course to improve my English．So，I finally d（66）ecidedto read books in English．I chose Irving's novel A widow for One Year．
What was my experience l（67）ike？Very challenging!At the beginning，I tried to stop thinking in Chinese about w（68）hatI was reading．I just kept reading instead of looking up the new words in the dictionary．At first it seemed to be i（69）mpossibleto read and understand without using a dictionary，but then I began to get the meaning s（70）lowly．Finally，I was so interested in the wonderful characters and the surprising plot of the novel t（71）hatI completely forgot that I was reading the book in English．
R（72）eadingthis novel was very good for my English learning．I found that Irving's way of writing was very clear and easy to read．This made me feel really satisfied and encouraged me to read m（73）anyother books （not only by Irving）．I discovered that when you read a book in English you will stop thinking in your mother tongue at some point．It's just as if you were there，inside the story，among the c（74）haracterswho speak English in the book．
Reading Irving's novel also enabled me to learn a large n（75）umberof new words and expressions used in different contexts．It is really a good way to improve our English．

8．You have studied hard in class，done all of your homework，and you think you have understood the material，but then the day of the test comes．Suddenly，you feel so nervous that you can't answer the questions．If this sounds like you，you may have a case of test anxiety---the nervous feeling that people sometimes get when they're about to take a test．
Test anxiety can be a real problem when someone is so stressed out over a test that he or she can't focus on the test questions and do his or her best work．Feeling ready to meet the challenge，though，can keep test anxiety at a manageable level．
Use a little stress to your advantage．Stress is a signal that helps you prepare for something important that is about to happen．Instead of reacting to the stress by worrying or complaining about the test with friends，let stress remind you to study well before a test．
Ask for help．If having a test stresses you out so much that your mind goes blank and causes you to miss answers that you know，then your level of test anxiety probably needs your care．You should talk to your teacher if you get extreme test anxiety．
Be prepared．Some students think that going to class is all it takes to learn and do well in tests，but there is much more to learning than just hoping to take in everything in class．That is why good study habits and skills are so important---and why no amount of cramming （临时死记硬背） or study the night before a test can take the place of the deeper level of learning that happens over time with regular study．
Also，take care of your health---by getting enough sleep，exercise，and eating well before a test---can help keep your mind working at its best．
Everything takes time and practice，and learning to beat test anxiety is no different．It won't go away overnight，but facing and dealing with test anxiety will help you deal with stress management，which is a valuable skill in many situations besides taking test
