On June 29 this year, Zhang Guimei was awarded CPC’s top honor July 1 Medal at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. At the ceremony. she said she did all this out of her gratefulness and love for the country, as well as the original aspiration and mission of a CPC member.
Zhang Guimei, who has dedicated her 40 years to education at China’s southwestern border, is a principal motivating young girls from impoverished families in mountainous areas.
Zhang was born in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang province in 1957. At 17, she came to Dali in Yunnan province to support the development of border areas, where she stumbled into teaching and started a career as an educator. After her husband’s death in 1996, she went to teach in Huaping county, Yunnan’s Lijiang. Five years later, she established a chilren’s home and worked as a part-time president of it. The organization adopted a total of over 170 children, who call Zhang mom though she has never given birth to a child..
While teaching there,she saw many girls drop out of school due to poverty. To change the destiny of the girls in the mountain, Zhang started her preparation to build a free all-girls high school in 2002. In 2007, Zhang went to Beijing for the 17th CPC National Congress as a deputy. Her report titled “I have a dream” delivered at the meeting made her dream of building a free all-girls high school known to all. Later, both the Lijiang and Huaping governments sponsored her with a million yuan. A year later, Zhang’s school was completed, becoming the first free all-girls high school in China. During the past 13 years, the school has nurtured over I,800 students who have made it to universities.
With no offspring and property, Zhang lives in a dormitory building with her students. She has donated all her cash awards, donations from others, and most of her salaries, more than a million yuan, to the children and other people in need. She suffers from 23 diseases, but she is still working selflessly.
Her story has moved millions of Chinese people and is now written into a newly published Brief History of the People’s Republic of China.

Recent research suggests that if an argument gets resolved，the emotional response tied to it is significantly reduced or almost completely erased．Thus，it may be worth bringing up issues with your friends， family members，or classmates rather than holding them back．
There is a difference between arguing and fighting．Arguing is that you and your opponent present your concerns and discuss the feelings and issues related to those concerns．You can engage in an argument respectfully without stirring up（激起） anger．Fighting，however，usually involves personal attacks，raising of voices， and storming out．Discussing your issues and resolving them instead of stuffing them down can improve your emotional health．In a study，2.000 people were asked to record their feelings and experiences for eight days in a row．When people had an argument that they considered resolved， they had half the reactivity （情绪反应） of those who avoided an argument．Reactivity is an increase in negative emotions or a decrease in positive emotions．In other words，resolving an argument cuts your negative feelings by half．One day later， people who had a resolved argument reported no increase of negative emotions compared with those who avoided an argument． This means that resolving an argument can feel like you have reached a state of resolution——and you are less likely to be annoyed．
Moreover，the older you are，the more likely you will come to a resolution after an argument．This may be because more life experience usually leads to more defined priorities．You are more likely to distinguish between what matters and what does not．
It is easier to avoid a discussion，but risking talking about it may eventually lead to a better outcome．

Since I entered our school, I enjoyed a lot of after-school activities, among that the volleyball match is the most impressive one. It was held on the school playground. What I can never forgot are the excitement and enjoyment on everyone’s faces. Each class had two teams that are consisted of boys and girls. We tried our best to play good in each game, and finally our efforts paid off. We won first prize. We couldn’t help laughing and jump together when we got a great news. It not only helped we improve our healthy and skills of playing volleyball, but also taught us the of teamwork. What a fantastic activity!
I'm having trouble in my life. The grades of No 1 student in our college are even lower than that of mine. To my surprise, I have no reward (奖学金). It discourages me. I'm having doubts about myself. I always want to find out if someone else is better than me, but I can't. It's unfair. I can't accept the fact.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours Frustrated
Dear Frustrated,
Thank you for writing to me. I' m sorry that you are having troubles because of what your college did. Is it possible that you are worrying too much? Perhaps you could use your energy to fix your attention on your studies and forget about the grades that your fellow students are getting. My suggestion would be to try to gain as much as you can and leave it at that! It can be wasteful to use your energy complaining about your college or what other students are doing.
I do not mean to lecture you, but I find that it's human's nature to see what others are doing and compare ourselves with them. You know sometimes, this will bring much unhappiness.
From your letter I can tell that you are young and smart, and that you are getting good grades. This is great. But if other students are getting good grades as well, fine, wish them good fortune and go back to your studies. Try it!
Best wishes.
Bob

7 . Almost at the same time, my 14-year-old son, John, and I found the coat in the clothes shop. It was hanging on a wall with other coats together—just like a rose among wild flowers. Joy appeared in John’s eyes. He tried it on and turned from side to side, looking at himself in the mirror. Soon he smiled. It was perfect.
John wore the coat to school the next day and came back home with a big smile. I asked him whether his classmates liked his new coat. He nodded his head, carefully hanging it over the back of a chair.
Over the next few weeks, some changes came over John. He became more polite and more thoughtful(体贴的). ''Good night, Mom. '' he would say every day before my sleep. And he would lend his younger brother his radio and patiently tell him how to use it without an annoyed look, he would put in wood to make fire. However, all these things had never taken place before! One day when I advised that he should finish his homework before dinner. John, who wouldn't do anything until the last minute before, said for the first time, ''You're right. Mom. I will. ''
When I talked with one of his teachers and said that I didn't know what caused John's changes, she said with laughter. ''It must be his coat. '' Once she told John that she had given him a high mark not only because he had done well in the test but also because she liked his coat. And from then on, she found that John tried to get along with them.
Quite often, a small change will make others notice you or even praise you, which leads to a lot of good changes in shock. On John, his wonderful coat had this effect.

| C．It's important to get along with others in school. |
| D．Parents can educate their kids better by getting them coats. |
8 . If you look across the entire lifespan, what you see is an average increase in desirable personality traits（特点）.Psychologists call this the “maturity principle” and it’s comforting to know that, assuming your personality follows a typical course, then the older you get, the maturer you will become. However, it’s not such good news for young adolescents, because at this point, something known as the “disruption hypothesis” kicks in.
Consider a study of Dutch teenagers who completed personality tests each year for six or seven years from 2005. The boys showed a temporary dip in conscientiousness—orderliness and self-discilpline in early adolescence, and the girls showed a temporary increase in neuroticism—emotional instability. This seems to back up some of the stereotypes we have of messy teen bedrooms and mood swings. Thankfully, this decline in personality is short-lived, with the Dutch data showing that the teenagers’ previous positive traits rebound（反弹）in later adolescence.
Both parents and their teenage children agree that changes occur, but surprisingly, the perceived change can depend on who is measuring, according to a 2017 study of over 2,700 German teenagers. They rated their own personalities twice, at age 11 and age 14, and their parents also rated their personalities at these times. Some differences emerged: for instance, while the teenagers rated themselves as declining in agreeability, their parents saw this decline as much shaper. Also, the teens saw themselves as increasingly extroverted（外向的）, but their parents saw them as increasingly introverted.
This mismatch can perhaps be explained by the big changes underway in the parent-child relationship brought on by teenagers’ growing desire for autonomy and privacy. The researchers point out that parents and teens might also be using different reference points—parents are measuring their teenagers’ traits against a typical adult, while the teenagers are comparing their own traits against those displayed by their peers.
This is in line with several further studies, which also reveal a pattern of a temporary reduction in advantageous traits in early adolescence. The general picture of the teenage years as a temporary personality “disruption” therefore seems accurate. In fact, we’re only just beginning to understand the complex mix of genetic and environmental factors that contribute to individual patterns of personality change.
Studies also offer some clues for how we might create more nurturing environments for teenagers to aid their personality development. This is an approach worth pushing further given that teenage personality traits are predictive of experiences in later life. For instance, one British study of over 4,000 teenagers showed that those who scores lower in conscientiousness were twice as likely to be unemployed later in life, in comparison with those who scored higher.
People focus so much on teaching teenagers facts and getting them to pass exams, but perhaps they ought to pay at least as much attention to helping nurture their personalities.
