【推荐1】Dear Seth,

You are only three years old, and at this point in your life, you are not able to understand this letter.     1    

Life can be unkind. There will be people in your life who won’t be very nice. They’ll laugh at you because you are different, or for no good reason.     2     I hope you don’t have to experience these too much, but such things happen.

Be open to life anyway. You’ll find difficulties along the way of life, but don’t let those stop you from finding new things.     3     Don’t hide or wall yourself off.

Be open to new things.     4     You’ll fail many times, but if you let it stop you from trying, you will never know how great you can be. Do remember failure is a stepping stone to success.

You will meet many people who will try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, and so on. To them, life is a competition. However, I believe life is a journey (旅程). Don’t waste time trying your best to beat others.     5     In this way, you will make it a journey of happiness, of learning, and of love.

Finally, know that I love you and always will. You are starting a really wonderful journey, and I will always be there for you.

Love,

Dad

【推荐2】One 10-year-old boy decided to study judo (柔道) although he had lost his left arm in a serious car accident.

The boy began his lesson with an old Japanese judo master (大师). The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand why after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move. “Master”, the boy finally said, “shouldn’t I be learning more moves?” “This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the master replied.

Several months later, the master look the boy to his first match. To his surprise, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match seemed to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent (对手) became impatient and charged; the boy used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to lose the match. The judge thought the boy might get hurt, so he called a time-out. He was going to stop the match when the master stopped. “No,” his master said, “let him continue.” Soon after the match restarted, his opponent made a big mistake: he dropped his guard. Directly, the boy used his move to catch him. The boy had won the match.

On the way home, the boy and his master looked back every move in the matches. Then the boy ask him a question bravely. “Master, how did I win the match with only one move?” You won for two reasons.” the master answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. Second, the only known protection for that move is for your opponent to catch your left arm.”

【推荐2】Have you ever paid attention to your school’s security guards (保安) or dining hall staff? Would you say “good morning” to your school’s cleaners? For high school student Ding Jiacheng, it’s a problem that many students ignore (忽视) the important jobs done by these non-teaching workers. He wanted to make a change.

The boy from Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School, together with several other students, worked on a project called “The Invisible (隐身的) are Significant”. They hoped more students would see and respect the “invisible” staff in the school. The project won a prize at China Thinks Big, a competition held by Harvard University and Tsinghua University to encourage teenagers to study social problems.

“My team members and I sent questionnaires (问卷) to 158 students,” said Ding. “In one question, 56 percent of the students said they would greet those non-teaching workers, while only 17 percent strongly believe that every student should do so.” The team also observed communications between students and workers. “When most students follow the rules of their teachers, one-third of the students go against the rules of the dormitory attendants (宿舍管理员),” said Ding. “It shows that students treat non-teaching staff differently from teaching staff.”

The main reason, according to Ding, is that students know little about the work done by non-teaching workers. They also have few chances to communicate with them. Therefore, Ding’s team shot videos to show staff working around schools. They also held a basketball match between students and non-teaching staff to increase their communication.

“We’ve also made a series of stickers (贴纸),” said Ding. “We hope these cute images will help young people like the non-teaching staff more.”

“The activity helped me understand that we can all make a positive impact (积极影响) through our creative ideas,” Ding said.

1. Why did Ding Jiacheng and his teammates start the project?

A．To win a prize at the competition China Thinks Big.

B．To help non-teaching staff at his school find other jobs.

C．To draw students’ attention to important social problems.

D．To make more students see and respect non-teaching workers.

2. What does the underlined word “Significant” mean in Paragraph 2?

A．interesting

B．important

C．imaginative

D．creative

3. The Paragraphs 3 is mainly about ?

A．what jobs non-teaching workers do.

B．how asking questions helps students learn.

C．how Ding’s team worked on their project.

D．why many students don’t follow school rules.

4. What can we learn from the passage?

A．Students treat non-teaching staff the same as teaching staff.
