Mother's smile is like a spring wind. It is so gentle. When you are sad, it can make you happy again. When you fail (失败) to do something, it can make you stand up and work hard again. When you give up (放弃) doing something, it can make you try your best again.

I always carry a Rubik’s Cube（魔方）in my backpack and I’m really good at solving it quickly. I usually ask people to try it first. They turn the cube over in their hands, make a few moves and then shyly hand it back—they don’t even know where to begin.
That’s exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read because I am dyslexic（有阅读障碍的）. It’s awkward to admit this, I still couldn’t always spell my full name correctly when I was ten, in grade four.
Solving the Rubik’s Cube has made me realize that sometimes you have to take a few steps backward in order to move forward. When I was in grade five, I had to leave public school and started a new life at a school for students who are dyslexic. I spent the next four years learning how to read, which later allowed me to return to high school with the ability to communicate and my ideas and express my intelligence.
The Rubik’s Cube also taught me that to work out something big, it helps to break it down into smaller pieces. I learned that it’s important to spend a lot of time thinking, to try to find connections of each part. I believe that there are surprises around the corner.
Like a difficult text or sometimes like life itself, the Rubik’s Cube can be a big puzzle. So I carry one in my backpack as a reminder that I can achieve my goals, no matter what difficulty I may face.

【推荐2】There was once a poor man who lived in a village. Every day, he walked through the village looking for someone who could give him a little work. When he was lucky, he made enough money to buy one small meal.
One day, the man saw a fat goose (鹅) run by, so he caught it. “What a hearty meal you will make!” said the man. “Tonight my stomach will be full.”
“Do not eat me!” cried the goose. “I am a goose like no other. If you feed me and take care of me, I will lay golden eggs for you.”
“Can this be true?” the man wondered. “Since this goose can talk, perhaps it can lay golden eggs, too. I will give it a chance (机会).” So the man took the goose home and fed it the last food in his kitchen, even though he had to go to bed hungry that night.
As soon as he woke up the next morning, the man rushed over to the goose. Under the goose he found a large, shiny egg made of gold. He took the egg to the market and sold it for lots of money. When he came home, his arms were full of food, including good food for the goose.
Each day, the goose laid another golden egg and the man sold it. Before long, the man was very rich, yet he wanted to become even richer. “Why should I spend so much money on food for the goose?” he asked himself. He decided to cut the goose open and get all the golden eggs at once.
The man cut the goose open and found no golden eggs. “What have I done?” he cried.

【推荐3】When most people think of “beautiful”, they think of movie stars. I used to be one of them. But now my opinion of beauty has completely changed.
I was with my parents and my little brothers at the McDonald’s. Since there are only tables with four chairs, I’m always the one to sit at a nearby table by myself. Usually, I’m a little unhappy, but not this time.
A woman was sitting at a table, two tables away. She was young and pretty, not the traditional beauty, but a warm one. She had thick dark-brown hair and wore common clothes, but none of those was why she was so beautiful to me.
Her children spread the ice-cream all over their clothes, and she just kissed them and that’s all. She didn’t get angry. The love and warmth this woman generated completely changed my view of beauty. She generated warmth like the sun, and her children were little planets around her.
She made a difference to her children’s lives. Instead of making them feel bad about themselves, she made them feel great about everything. That is true beauty: to make a positive difference to others’ life through warmth and caring.

【推荐1】Your handshake is a part of your first impression (印象). Do you want your handshake to say good things about you? Here are some ways to help you learn how to shake hands correctly.
Know who to start. The person in a higher position or who is older should be the first one to reach out a hand. For example, if you are interviewed for a job, the interviewer should be the one to take the lead.
Don’t offer an unannounced handshake. If you offer someone your hand when they aren’t paying attention, they may not shake hands with you. It doesn’t mean the person doesn’t want to shake your hand. So start with a greeting to let others know that you’re here.
The handshake often lasts about 2 to 5 seconds. Most people don’t spend more time shaking hands. If the other person holds your hand for more than five seconds, politely withdraw (撤回) your hand.
Don’t show a sweaty (出汗的) hand. If you hand someone a sweaty hand, you may make them uncomfortable. Before shaking their hand, dry your own hand. If you’re holding a drink, hold it in your left hand so that it won’t make your right hand wet or sweaty because we often use our right hand to shake hands with others.
Shake hands in an up-and-down direction. Don’t go back and forward or side to side. Don’t swing the other person’s hand more than three times. It may make the other person uncomfortable.
1. What should you do before shaking hands with others?| A．Hit them on the back. | B．Greet them politely to get their attention. |

【推荐2】Some teenagers think that newspapers are boring and only for adults. But that’s not true. There are many interesting stories in the paper. You just need to make clear what you are looking at, “I spend about half an hour reading newspapers every day,” said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing. “I’m interested in things happening at school.” School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers. There’s also world news: from international（国际的）problems to pop stars.
Read the newspaper carefully, and we’ll find different types of articles on the pages: News stories—These stories are about events（事件）. Reporters try to show all points of a story to help readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also use pictures and numbers to show the readers that the stories are true. The newspaper Teenagers has lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When we read them, we learn more about the facts, not the writers’ ideas.
Opinion writing—Opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isn’t just facts. Here writers add their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only the facts that help back up their ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth. This is usually the kind of story that gets people to think. Go to “Speak Out” on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers.
Advertisement—Don’t get happy too early when you read them. Those sweet words and lovely pictures are just ways to get us interested in their products（产品）! People have to pay to put advertisements in newspapers!

【推荐3】There is lots of garbage (垃圾) in the Pacific Ocean around the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), which is located halfway between Japan and California (加利福尼亚州). However, how can this be cleaned up in such a big ocean?
A man named Boyan Slat took a swimming trip to Greece (希腊) when he was 16. The young man was shocked to see more plastic waste than fish in the ocean and decided to do something about it. That’s how the Ocean Cleanup got its start in 2013.
Slat’s group cleans up the GPGP using a floating (浮动的) plastic tube (管). The tube will go around the garbage and catch it. The plastic tube is 600 meters long. A big screen hangs down from it, about three meters into the water. Wind and waves will push the garbage towards the tube (fish can swim under the screen). Ships will pick up the garbage and take it back to the land to sort (分类) and reuse it.
The GPGP has about 1. 8 trillion (万亿) pieces of garbage. Most of it is plastic, like bottles and bags. Plastic garbage is very bad for birds and fish. They may get trapped or eat the plastic waste and then become sick or even die. Smaller plastic pieces can also enter our body through the seafood.
The Ocean Cleanup says it will be able to clean up half of the garbage in the GPGP within five years. If this first project works well, the Ocean Cleanup hopes to put as many as 60 more plastic tubes in the ocean. About 8 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year. The purpose of the organization is to clean out 90 percent of the ocean plastic by 2040.

【推荐1】Once there was a man living with his wife and children in a small house. There was always noise in his house as his children played, laughed and sang. He could find no peace at all.
The man couldn't stand living in this noisy house. So he decided to ask for advice from a wise old woman who lived down the road. He told her about his problem. The wise old woman quickly had an answer for him. “Go home and bring all of your farm animals indoors to live in your house.”
The man thought this was bad advice. But since the old woman was known far and wide for her wisdom, he agreed to do as she said. He went home and brought inside all of his farm animals.
As you can imagine, the animals made all kinds of noises. The dogs barked. The sheep bleated. The chickens clucked and the cows mooed.
The man could find no comfort, no peace at all, so he went back to the wise old woman. She had been expecting him. She listened to him patiently and then offered some new advice. “Go home and take all of the animals out of your home,” she said.

April 22 marks the 45th World Earth Day, a day for us to celebrate Earth. This year, the idea of the day is “It's our turn to lead”. It tries to express millions of voices to push all leaders to take action on climate (气候) change, the environment, and the connection between poorness and climate change.
Climate change is an important and lasting change of climate. It makes sea levels rise. If sea levels carry on rising, some places, such as the Maldives, St. Petersburg in Russia and Bangkok in Thailand, may disappear under water in just a few years. What’s worse, some animals must become fewer or even die. As a result, it may cause the extinction of certain kinds of animals.
Can we do anything about it? Sure. Everybody can do a little bit to make a big change. Here are some suggestions ：
●Make sure you know
Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. You can also find more information on the Internet.
● Try to walk to school
Do you go to school by bus or by bike? If you ride bikes, you are doing something good for Earth. Cars, buses and planes produce plenty of air pollution. If your house is near the school, you can simply walk to school to save our earth.
●Wash the green way
Wash clothes in a green way. It's the best way to wash them by hand if possible every day. Dry the clothes the natural way, by hanging them on a line in an open air instead of putting them in a dryer.

From Asia to America and everywhere in between, Swing---an energetic form of dance that includes six-step and eight-step rhythms(节奏)---has taken the world by storm. Making a recent comeback, swing dance floors have popped up all over the world. Many clubs make fans of Swing happy by holding nights when swing music is played, and sometimes even offering classes to attract customers.
Though Swing is now popular worldwide, it first appeared alongside the jazz movements of the 1920s and 1930s in New York City. While listening to jazz, the young black people of that time developed the movements of the Lindy Hop---a style of dance that is best known for a break away or “swing out” move and sudden improvisation(即兴表演).
It was reportedly given this name when a reporter was interviewing a person at the dance hall who was watching other couples dance. When asked what that dance was called, the watcher looked at a newspaper next to him that had an article about Lindbergh---the first person to fly alone across the Atlantic(大西洋)---which was titled, “Lindy Hops the Atlantic”. Then the watcher announced that the “Lindy Hop” was the name of the dance, and it has stuck since then.
In 1926, the Savoy Ballroom was the first large business to offer a place for people to listen to swing music and dance. With its huge dance floor, the Savoy became a big success overnight, attracting some of the best dancers and musicians in the New York area.
Within ten years, the Lindy Hops was sweeping through the United States and became a symbol of unity, as young people of all racial(种族的) backgrounds crowded into dance halls to swing the night away. Traditional dance teachers did not welcome it because they thought it was not even a real dance and were quite sure about its demise but Swing has proved them wrong; it continues to be one of the world’s most fun dances.
1. The writing purpose of this passage is ________.| A．to describe the special moves of a dance | B．to discover the fun secrets of a dance |
| C．to tell stories about an energetic dance | D．to introduce a popular form of dance |
| A．Challenge. | B．Change. | C．Development. | D．Death. |
| A．It’s a lively dance with strict rules. | B．It has a close connection to a pilot. |
| C．It has a history of around 90 years. | D．It attracts mostly young black people. |
| A．The dance style will soon be accepted by traditional dance teachers. |
| B．The name was changed from “Lindy Hop” to “Swing” in the 1940s. |
| C．The movements of different Swing dancers always look the same. |
| D．The dance might have become unpopular sometime in its history. |
