1．My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died．As a single parent，I tried to do my best to talk to him．But the more I tried，the more he pulled away．When his report card arrived during his junior year，it said that he had been absent 95times from classes and had six falling grades for the year．In this case he would never graduate．I sent him to the school adviser，and I even begged（乞求）him．Nothing worked．
One night I felt so powerless that l got down on my knees and begged for help．"Please God，I can't do anything more for my son．I'm at the end of my rope．I'm giving the whole thing up to you．"
I was at work when I got a phone call．A man introduced himself as the headmaster．"I want to talk to you about Karl's absences．"Before he could say another word，I choked（哽咽） up and all my disappointment（失望） and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger．"I love my son but I just don't know what to do．I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked．It's out of my hands．"For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line．The headmaster seriously said，"Thank you for your time．"and hung up．
Karl's next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades．Finally，he was even on the list of the best students at school．In his fourth year，I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl．I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around．
After the meeting，Karl said，"Mum，remember that call from the headmaster last year？"I nodded．

19．We all want to live in good neighborhoods，but not everyone lives in a good neighborhood．How can you build a better community for yourself and your family？There are many things you can do．
Paint your intersection（十字路口）．A street intersection is not something you think of as interesting．However，In Portland，people in some neighborhoods have made them really worth stopping for．Some paint，creative people and a bright design are all it takes to bring neighbors together and produce something the whole community can be proud of．
Make a poetry box．The idea is simple，really-create a box with a glass or clear plastic front．Put this box on a post．Write your own poem or print out your favorite classic and display it in the box for all your neighbors to see．You can also set up a drop box and encourage neighbors to write their own poems and drop them in the box．Display the poems from your neighbors as the poems come in．
Set up a tool library．How often do you need a leaf blower？Or a chain saw？And how often do you use that electric cake mixer？To01libraries have space where neighbors can drop their hardly used tools to share．Check with a local business，community center or church group about space that can house a tool library．
Turn your front yard into your backyard．How often do you meet your neighbors in your backyard？Probably never．Moving your typical（典型的） backyard activities to the front immediately makes you more visible（可见的）．You can create front-yard gardens，build community benches and even just barbecue in your front yard．They are all great ways to connect with your community．
With effort，you'll make your neighborhood a much better place．

Moral values（道德价值观） are important for a nation．They greatly influence a country's culture and its people．Which values do Americans value most？
One of the most basic moral values for Americans is honesty．The well-known story about Geoge Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value clearly．Another famous American Who was known for honesty was Abraham Lincoln．The president was first called"Honest Abe"when he was working as a young store clerk．One day，he realized had shortchanged a customer by a few pennies，so he closed the shop and delivered the correct change，regardless of how far he had to walk．
Another moral value Americans repect is perseverance（坚持不懈）．A story tells of a little train that had to climb a steep hill．The hill was so steep that the little train had a hard time trying to get over it．But the train just kept pulling，all the while saying"I think I can；I think I can．"At last，the train was over the top of the hill．
Compassion may be the queen of American moral values．The story of"The Good Samaritan"from the bible（《圣经》） describes a man who showed compassion．On his way to a city，a Samaritan found a poor traveller lying on the road．The kind Samaritan，instead of just coming by，stopped to help this person in need．
There are quite a few moral values honored by Americans：courage，responsibility，loyalty（忠诚） and many others．But no matter how long or short the list，moral values are invaluable．They are the foundation of American culture and any culture．

76．Why are moral values important for a nation？Because they greatly influence a country's culture and its people and they are the foundation of any culture．
77．Who was called"Honest Abe"？President Abraham Lincoln．
78．Which value does the story of the little train try to teach？Perseverance
79．Where does the story of"The Good Samaritan"come from？From The Bible．
80．In your opinion，which values do Chinese people value most？（请自拟作答）The Chinese people value loyalty，honesty and diligence most．．

16．Can you write down a Chinese word being read to you？It can be difficult，（66）especiallywhen the word is not included in most dictionaries．
Lu Jialei，14，from Hangzhou Foreign Language School，（67）won the CCTV Chinese Character Spelling Contest．About 160people competed．The host read a word to the contestant （参赛选手），explained its meaning and gave sample sentences．The contestant was required to （68）write down the word．Winning the contest was a"surprise"to Lu Jialei．"I am not the smartest one，"she said．"But I pay（69）attentionto details．"
To prepare for the contest，she and her teammates studied the Modern Chinese Dictionary for 10days．There are more than 56，000entries （词条）（70）including characters，phrases and words in it．She also has a secret weapon （武器）．She studied （71）how Chinese characters were structured （构成）．In the final，judges gave her the word wanluan and said it means graceful and （72）pretty．
"I've never （73）heard of that word!"said Lu．But she made a good guess．"Characters meaning pretty often have‘女'in it，while many characters pronouncing luan have‘亦'．So I wrote it down：‘婉娈'，"she said．This（74）secrect weapon came from her good reading habits．
"（75）Learning to write Chinese characters is an important part of inheriting （传承） culture，"said Su Yunsheng，Lu's Chinese teacher．Su is happy to see students like Lu find the beauty of Chinese language．

15．Autumn and winter are cold and flu（流感） seasons．Will the old advice about dressing warmly help prevent a cold，or if you get sick，should you follow the old saying，"feed a cold and starve（挨饿）a fever"？And what about that fever？Should you take medicine to reduce your temperature，or is it better to let the body treat the fever itself？Everyone seems to have an answer．But is popular wisdom valuable？
Doctor Nelson knows a lot about cold and flu seasons．Nelson says research may be just starting to provide proofs （证明） for long-held beliefs．For example，scientists for years were against the idea that getting cold and wet might cause colds or flu．But recent studies have shown that cold temperatures cause stress on the body，and that stress can create something more likely to lead to viruses．So maybe it is really important to wear warmly before going outside．
And what about feeding a cold and starving a fever？Nelson says if you have a cold and are hungry，you should eat．But a fever，especially a high one，suggests a more serious problem．He says people are usually not hungry when they have a high fever．Eating might even make a person sick．But drinking enough water is important．A fever easily makes the body lose water．
Finally，when should you treat a fever？Nelson says a fever should be treated if it stays at 40℃or above for a day or more．A high temperature can damage（破坏） brain cells（细胞）．The doctor also believes in treating a fever if it prevents a person from sleeping．
Medicine like aspirin，for example，can be used to reduce pain and fever．But aspirin should not be given to children because it can cause serious problems．

12．Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes，makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason．Everyone wants to be happy．But sometimes，a guest comes in without invitation．It's unhappiness．Don't let it get you down．Send it away．
When you are happy，the world feels like a better place．As the saying goes：When you smile，the world smiles with you；when you cry，you cry alone．Wearing a smile makes you more charming（迷人的）and helps you to win lots of friends．A good mood（心情）always gives you hope，which makes trouble and problems easier to handle．
No matter how happy you are，it's normal to feel angry，sad or gloomy once in a while．Life is full of ups and downs．We can't change the way life is，but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one．To help us do this，it's good to know some of the factors（因素）that influence happiness．
One of the biggest factors is social relationships．People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don't have those relationships．Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence．Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing．
Another factor is work or school．If you enjoy school，even if you have lots of homework or extra classes，you will feel that your school life is meaningful and happy．But if you hate school，your negative attitude（消极的态度）may cause you to feel bored and upset that you hate to do so much work．
A third factor is your attitude towards life．How do you feel if you fail in an exam？Maybe you think it's unfair because you always study and should have got a good mark．You can't stop blaming（责备）yourself．Or，maybe you accept it．You go through the paper carefully，find out why you made stupid mistakes，and tell yourself，"Take it easy！I'll do better next time！"Your attitude makes a big difference．
Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time？

27．Happiness is a feeling，isn't it？Yes，it is．

29．What does the underlined sentence mean according to paragraph 3？There are happiness and sadness in our life．．
