In China，people born in and after the 1980s are called the post-80s generation(一代人)．
Most of them come from single-child families. However，this generation is playing a more and more important part in China，and their image in people’s minds is changing．Han Han,a popular youth writer,is one of them.
Han Han was born in 1982 in Shanghai．His talent for writing was clear at an early age．
When he was 17,he drew the public’s attention with the article Viewing the People through the Glass. The article won first prize in the national New Concept Composition Competition．Later，Han Han again surprised the public by leaving high school. “I did poorly in Grade One of high school and failed to move up to the next grade. I tried my best to improve my studies，but failed ,so I gave up. However, I am always learning, since learning and going to school are two different things.” Han Han said.
Han Han’s first novel Three Folded Gates sold very well in China．Later the book was
translated(翻译)into several languages and sold abroad．
In the following years, Han Han wrote a lot of books. All of them were welcomed by the market．In 2006，he started blogging and had great success. Today，Han Han’s blog has become one of the honest blogs on the Internet．
The post-80s generation__________．

What can we learn from Han Han’s words in the second paragraph?

When did Han Han begin to write a blog?

Which of the following is TRUE，according to the passage?

What does the passage mainly talk about?

Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with various situations.
Love plays a main role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we don’t always care about it. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others’ feelings.
Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these things will pass away.
Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, pride and self-respect.
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dark. So the only choice is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
In the passage，the author compares life to ___________

What does it in the passage 4  mean ?

What’s the general meaning of the last sentence of the whole passage?

What’s the purpose of the passage?

Do you ever feel like you are just running from one activity to another? In school, do you rush from one subject to another?
When things happen so fast, it is easy to get lost of what you are doing or learning. It is important to stop yourself every now and then to think about what you’ve been doing or learning.
Self-reflection(反省) means slowing down and calming yourself, including calming your mind. By being calm and going slowly, you give your brain a chance to think about what it has already received. Some people prefer to do these self-reflections only in their mind. Others keep a diary or written notes. Either method works, depending on your own personal learning.
School textbooks are divided into units of study. This makes it easier for someone to begin self-reflection. Look for time when you complete a unit of study in the subjects you are learning, such as math, science and art. Sometimes you know the unit is over because there is some kind of test. Use these natural breaks to stop and do self-reflection.
Find a quiet place. You can even be sitting at your desk at school when you finish something early and the other students are still working. If you are going to take notes, take out paper or your reflection diary. Write down some notes on the new things that you learned in the unit. Let your mind think about the notes you have written and make some connections.
Next, think about things that you are not sure of. Maybe you learned a new way to work out a math problem, but you’re not sure when to use it. Writing down your questions will help you remember to look for answers the next time you are working with the same topic.
Self-reflection is important for a successful student. If you have never taken the time to do self-reflection, try it now.

Sometimes people come into your life and you know that they are there to teach you a lesson, or to help you understand who you are or who you want to become.
You never know these people who may be a classmate, a neighbour or a friend—but when you lock your eyes on them, you know at that very moment they will influence your life in some ways.
Sometimes things that happen to you may seem unpleasant, painful, or frustrating at first. But in another way, you find that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your ability, strength or will power(意志力).
The people you meet and the success you get help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experience can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.
If someone loves you, give love back to them in the way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
If someone hurts you, or breaks your heart, forgive(原谅) them, for they have helped you learn about truth and the importance of being careful  of people around.
Self-confidence is necessary to a person. If you’re not confident, it will be hard for others to believe in you.
Learn a lesson in life each day you live!
