Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class some fun homework---to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.
Most of the class drew a turkey or other traditional things. But Douglas drew a different kind of picture. He drew a hand. Just an empty(空的) hand.
Douglas was a different boy. He was poor and unhappy. As other children played, Douglas was likely to stand close by the teacher’s side.
His classmates were surprised at his picture. One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Others guessed it was the hand of God, for God feeds us.
The teacher asked him whose hand it was. The little boy said in a low voice, “It’s yours.”
She remembered the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there, as she had the other students. How often she said, “Take my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.
Tears came into the teacher’s eyes.
The underlined word “raise” means “_______” in Chinese.

Douglas drew a hand of ________.

When other children played, Douglas __________.

When the teacher knew the truth, she felt ___________.

Douglas drew the picture of a hand because ___________.

Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your school work. It can make you confident(自信的) when you are studying. But unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes.
Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus on(关注) lots of dates and facts in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may say something important again and again.
Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you miss. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.
Compare. Comparing your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct(纠正) some mistakes.
Organize(组织). Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one notebook, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.
Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every evening, you’ll surely have less time to watch TV. But you’ll save time in the coming test.
There are ______ main points(要点) about note-taking in this passage.

What should you write down in your notebook in class?

If you can’t follow your teachers in class, what should you do?

Which way can help you correct mistakes in your notes?

Which can be the BEST title for this passage?

English is very important in the modern world. Many people want to learn it well. Here are some things that I want to say about learning it.
To learn English well, you need two things---passion and good learning methods(方法). Passion is the more important one. Why? Because passion makes you want to learn English. Learning methods only tell you how to do it better and faster.
If you love learning English, you will do it regularly(有规律地) and spend more time on it. It will also be easy for you to remember new words and grammar rules. __________ For example, some people like history and know a lot about World WarⅡ. If you ask a person who doesn’t like history to memorize all the facts, he probably can’t do it.
When you want to learn English, you can do the following things:
First, imagine(想象) that you can talk to native(本土的) speakers just as you talk in your mother language. Imagine yourself to be a manager(经理) in a foreign company(公司). Imagine you are living in an English-speaking country.
Second, use English as much as possible. This is very important. The more you use English, the better you will learn it. English is very popular, so you can use it everywhere. You can watch American cartoons, sing English songs, and read interesting books written in English as well.
The underlined word “passion” means “_______” in Chinese.

The missing(空白的) part in the third paragraph can be __________.
