Paper is among the four great inventions in ancient China． The famous xuan paper appeared in the Sui and Tang dynasties． In Xuanzhou， Anhui Province where the xuan paper is produced，it's said that Cai Lun's pupil Kong Dan took the job of producing paper but failed to make perfect white paper． Later he happened to see the ebony （檀木） in the rivers． It was wet with the water and turned white． Then he used the bark （树皮） to produce the world﹣famous xuan paper．

In your spare time， do you help your parents with chores（杂活）around the house？ Can you cook for your family？
In order to stress（强调）the importance of hard﹣working spirit education（劳动教育）among students of different ages，the Communist Party of China Central Committee（中共中央）recently released（发布）a guideline（指导纲要）．
The guideline calls for students to respect labor work． Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education．
The government has been trying to stress the importance of hard﹣working spirit education． But this has been overlooked（忽视）in recent years． Many teenagers do not value the importance of working hard and aren't interested in doing so．
According to a study of nearly 3，000 students that was done by Ningbo Evening News in March， only 22% of students help with everyday chores around the house．
Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the value of working hard， the guideline says．
Primary and middle schools should provide students with hard﹣working spirit classes every week， according to the guideline． Schools can also hold activities to give students real﹣world work experience． For example， schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree﹣Planting Day．

What is one thing that would help parents understand their kids better？ More than 8，000 US kids answered this question in an online poll （投票） by KidsHealth．org．
Many US kids ﹣ two out of three ﹣ said they get along with their parents． But that doesn't mean they never disagree． In fact， most kids reported arguing with their parents，at least sometimes．And two out of five kids said arguments sometimes even include shouting at each other．
"It's certainly normal to disagree and argue，" says Darcy Lyness， an American expert． "But it's also important to learn how to do so respectfully （尊重地）． Be patient． Don't use a raised， angry voice．"
And not surprisingly， three out of four kids said they had lied to their parents sometimes． Many said they lie so they would not get in trouble or disappoint their parents． According to Lyness，lying isn't just wrong． It can actually have bad results． Telling the truth builds trust．
Telling the truth， says Lyness， shows maturity （成熟）．But older kids actually lie more often than younger ones． Kids aged 12 to 14 not only said they lie more，but they also reported having less fun， feeling less close and not getting along as well with their parents．
According to Lyness， those feelings are common．As kids become more independent （独立），they have more areas of disagreement with their parents．But it doesn't have to be that way．"Kids and parents get along differently at each stage of the journey，" she says． "As kids grow and change， it is important for everybody to change．"
（1）In Lyness's opinion， kids their parents．
A． never agree with
B． may argue with
C． must always agree with
D． can shout at
（2）Why do some kids lie to their parents？
A． They don't trust their parents．
B． They don't want to get into trouble．

Anger （愤怒） often makes us uncomfortable． Seeing your child's anger can be especially uncomfortable． In order to relieve （缓解） this feeling， parents often encourage children to "stop crying" and say things like "It's nothing to cry about．" It's moments like those that plant the seeds of unhealthy anger． The "stop crying" parents are just doing what they were taught by their own parents， who were probably taught that by their parents on and on． However， we should learn how to create healthy anger in our kids．
If a child never sees his or her parents express anger， he or she should never express anger， either． But if parents always express their anger loudly， their child may start to think of anger as something that is always frightening．
The first thing you can do to create healthy anger in your children is to practice creating healthy anger in yourself． Once you're better at experiencing anger and expressing it in a healthy way， you'll be able to set a good example for your kids．
Stopping kids from expressing their feelings is wrong． You may feel bad when you believe you are wrong． When children express their feelings and are told that it's nothing to cry about， they come to know that they themselves are bad．
We need to raise them in an environment where it's safe to express feelings． Once you feel more comfortable with your own anger， you can teach your children why anger is a helpful feeling． When your kids express anger， help them examine what it is that has made them angry． Why did it make them angry？ How did it do that？ Then， you can teach them that those feelings are never wrong and our expressions of feelings are in our control．
Anger is natural and normal， and it can be experienced and expressed in a healthy way．
（1）Why do parents say "It's nothing to cry about" to their children？
A． To encourage them to stop crying．
B． To make them uncomfortable．
C． To relieve their anger．

C． letting them know they are right or wrong
D． raising them in a safe environment
（4）The writer thinks that anger is a kind of feeling that is always ．

It's been 100 years since the actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin produced the film The Kid ，which many consider to be his greatest one.
Like all films at the time，The Kid was made in black and white and was silent （made without any sound，not even the characters talking）.The story is about the relationship between " the Tramp"，played by Chaplin，and his adopted （领养的）child，played by Jackie Coogan.The pair develop a partnership where the six year﹣old boy breaks windows and runs away，so that Chaplin's character can offer his services as a window fixer.
Although the film is a comedy，it also has some tragedy，reflecting Chaplin's own life.He started testing actors for the role of the Kid just a few days after his baby son had died.Chaplin was known for being hard to please，and it is said that if he could，he would have played every role in every one of his films.When Chaplin visited a theatre，a dancer brought his son，Jackie Coogan，on stage，and Chaplin knew he had his co﹣star （联袂主演者）.Chaplin later wrote， "All children in some form have talents；the trick is to bring it out in them.With Jackie it was easy.
Like the Kid in the film，Chaplin and his brother Sydney grew up very poor.They lived in London and were raised by their mother.When Chaplin was 10 years old，his mum became too ill to loo after her sons，so they had to take care of themselves.He later wrote that the film sets in The Kid were based （基于）on the places where he and Sydney had lived with their mother as children. "Perhaps that's why the film had some truth，" he said.
（1）The second paragraph mainly talks about .
| A． |
why The Kid was made |

always visited the theatre alone |

was possibly talented in acting |
| C． |
knew much about Chaplin before |
| D． |
played every role in Chaplin's films |

He had a poor childhood experience. |
| B． |
He was brought up by his father. |
| C． |

You may study differently from your friends，but your study habits are not wrong!
Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot in common.They love doing things together，such as going to movies and concerts，shopping，or just sitting at a small cafe.Since they take a lot of the same school subjects，they would love to study together，but they find this impossible.Their working styles are so completely different that they can't be in the same room while they are studying!
Kelly would like to study in a clean，open space，while Maria works best with books，papers and other things around her.Kelly prefers to study in a totally silent room，but Maria loves to play music or even have the TV on.Kelly can sit for hours without moving，and often gets all her homework done in one sitting.Maria，however，is always getting up，and says that she thinks best when she's on the move.
You might be asking yourself：which way of studying gets better results？Many people believe that a silent，tidy setting（环境）is the way to go，▲.Some research has even shown that outside noise and untidiness help some people focus（聚焦）their attention，because it makes them form a "wall" in their mind around what they are doing and improves their focus.
So，if you're a student who chooses to study while sitting at a table in a busy shopping center，don't worry about it.If you work in total silence，that's OK，too.Judging from Kelly 's and Maria's study habits，the best way to study is the way that works for you.In their very different ways，both of them do well in school，and both finish their work within the required time as well.
（1）Kelly and Maria are mentioned as an example in this passage to .
A.discuss two different study habits
B.compare the differences in their hobbies
C.show the importance of a good study habit
D.express the writer's worry about their friendship
（2）Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4？
A.and they have difficulty in study
B.and it can be true for most of them
C.but that doesn't seem necessarily true
D.but nobody does research on this question
（3）What can we infer from the last paragraph of this passage？
A.Students who like to study in silence will be more successful.
B.Both study habits can help students make progress in their studies.
C.Only a small number of students can study well in a noisy situation.
D.Friends with different study habits can do better by studying together.
（4）What can be the best title for the passage？
A.Are you studying the "right" way？
B.How can you improve your study habits？
C.Is it possible for friends to study well together？
D.What are the advantages of different study settings？
You've been learning words since you were a tiny baby.At first，you learned them only by hearing other people talk.Now that you're a reader，you have another way to learn words.What should you do when you come to a word and you think you don't know what it means？（1） .
Say it
First sound it out.Then say it to yourself.（2） .Sometimes you know a word in your head but you don't know what it looks like in print.So if you match up what you know and what you read ﹣ you have the word!
Use context
If this doesn't work，take the next step：look at the context the other words and sentences around it.Read this sentence：When it rained，the dog looked for shelter in the doorway.（3） .Rain and in the doorway might give you helpful information.
（4）
If the context doesn't help，look at the parts of the word.Does it have any parts you know？These can help you understand what it means.If you don't know the meaning of miner，try looking at parts of the word.You might know that a mine is a place underground where people get coal and other valuable things.A lot of times， ﹣er at the end of a word means "a person who does something".So a miner might be someone who works in a mine.
Look it up
If the three steps above don't work，you can look it up.（5） ，either a book or online.
Nobody knows the meaning of every word，but good readers know how to understand words they don't know.
Choose five sentences out of the six in the box to complete the passage.Each choice should be used only once.
A.Use word parts
B.Look at the words
C.It might sound like a word you know
D.You can find the word in a dictionary
E.Following some easy steps can help you
F.If the word shelter doesn't look familiar，look at the words around it
From an early age，we were taught that if we wanted to be successful，we had to study hard and get good results at school.In fact，good students may just end up doing jobs they don't like，and some even lead an unhappy life.Why is it like that？
In some parents' eyes，school grades matter most for their kids.In reality，there are many things to consider besides the school subjects，for example，how to be a happy person，what to do to keep healthy，and how to get along well with others.That is to say，school is not just enough if you want to have a great life.
Doing well in school is different from doing well in life.Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life.You may have already known that some famous people，like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs，didn't do very well at school or even failed to finish school.In fact，there are a lot more than just the big shots who are successful in life without finishing school.They seize （抓住）every chance to learn and finally make it to the top.
Life is really a long lesson，so long that you can't define（界定）a person's success by just one section （部分）of it.If you have already finished school，keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life.If you are still studying，whether you are good or bad at school，don't take your school results too seriously as long as you have put your heart into it.Keep learning to make the most of your talents（天赋）.That's how you can live a happy and successful life.

Do you get lots of reading tasks as part of your homework？ You might wish that you could read faster．There are some people who say that you can learn to read at super﹣high speeds． But experts disagree on this idea．
"Speed reading is not actually possible，" said Elizabeth Schotter，a scientist at the University of South Florida， US． Schotter pointed out that people who say that they can teach others how to speed read are usually doing it to make money by selling courses and books．
In fact， speed reading has been made known to people since 1959， when US educator Evelyn Wood introduced a speed reading program． Several US presidents have even asked their officers to take speed reading courses． However， there is no real science behind speed reading．
Schotter explained that reading is a task difficult to finish． It includes four steps： seeing a word， getting back its meaning from your memory， connecting it to other words in the same sentence， and then moving on to the next word．This process uses many parts of the brain at one time． It can't be sped up．
Some people who say they are able to speed read are simply skimming． Skimming involves reading a passage quickly and only looking for certain words or sentences．
Skimmers can figure out the main idea of a passage﹣especially if it's a topic they're familiar with﹣﹣but they will not be able to remember all the pieces of information．
So is there a way to become a faster reader？ Research suggests that you should try to improve the number of your words and simply read more．
（1）According to Schotter， which of the following is TRUE？
A． It's good for students to read at super high speeds．
B． Speed reading courses are supported by real science．
C． Reading includes four steps，it's not easy to finish．
D． Speed reading courses and books are useful for us．
（2）What can we know from Paragraph 5？
A． Skimmers will not forget all the pieces of information．
B． You must read the passage carefully when you are skimming it．
C． Skimming focuses on all the words or sentences of a passage．
D． By skimming， skimmers may find the main idea of a passage．
（3）According to this passage， how to read faster？
A． Learn more words and read more．
B． Taking speed reading courses can help．
C． Read more books about speed reading．
D． See the words at super﹣high speeds．
Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age．Especially， as children and teenagers， even adults， people make their friends based on proximity （邻近） more than anything else． Even in a college classroom，the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities and interests． It's the people they really sit next to． Clearly， who stands to you has the greatest influence on you．As Jim Rohn has widely said． "You are average （平均） of five people you spend the most time with．"
Over the past ten months， I've paid Ryan， it Famous writer of several bestselling books， to help with
the book I'm writing． Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are． For example， every time I send him a drab （草稿）， he shows me how it could be 10 times better，and he holds me to that standard．
▲ It's because that I don't know what I don't know． Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful．
Like Ryan，my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have．He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers．He's been speaking and doing events for 20 years．Richard always performs at high levels，and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection （反映） on him． It's not a bad thing because it creates high pressure （压力） to help me make great progress in organizing author training．
In a word，you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential．Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change．If you don't change your environment， your progress will be very slow． Who you stay with has huge importance． You can't ignore this．
（1）Why did the writer quote （引用） Jim Rohn's words in Paragraph 1？
A．To support the writer's opinion．
B．To introduce the writer's best friend．
C．To show Jim Rohn's working ability．
D．To prove Jim Rohn is a great person．
（2）Which of the following can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3？
A． It's not that my workmates' abilities are low．
B． It's not that my working ability was born low．
C． It's not that' e friends based on proximity．
D． It's not that I've paid Ryan to help me with my book．
（3）What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to （指代）？
A． The writer's performance．
B． Jim Rohn's famous saying．
C． Richard's different experience．

（4）The writer mainly wants to tell us that ．
A． we can improve our working abilities by ourselves

C． we'd better make friends with those who can hold us to higher levels
D． we should stay with those who have similar personalities and interests
Robots Are Now Teaching English!
Get ready． Robots are about to invade our classroom． From Korea to Japan to the United States， schools are putting English﹣speaking robots in front of their students． In Korea， robots are the new teaching assistants in a number of preschools and kindergartens． The young students say that the robots are fun， but are these children really learning anything？
I don't think a computer will ever be able to do what a teacher does． A teacher has to be able to respond to students as individuals （个体）．__▲__and a teacher has to change his or her teaching style to fit the needs of the student． I seriously doubt that a computer will ever be able to do this even though the big data （数据）is widely used in the world．
4 Comments on "Robots Are Now Teaching English!"
Sara says：
In my opinion， schools should spend money training human teachers rather than buying robots． Research shows that children learn more from real speakers than from recorded conversations．
Keiko says：
I don't think you can learn a language without real human interaction．After all， robots cannot think as humans do．
Hassan says：
Robots might be able to help people lean a language， but I don't think they should replace teachers because robots are just machines without human feelings．
Nancy says：
I think robots might be very helpful in the classroom． A child might be less afraid to make a mistake in front of a robot than in front of a real person．

Have you ever wanted to achieve a goal and ended up doing lots of research on how to achieve it？ As you learned more and more． it seemed you knew less and less． That is because when you learned a new concept （ 概念）， you found that there was a lot more to know about it．
Usually， people think they need to get more and more information before trying a new idea． There is nothing wrong with learning a lot， but when you let learning get in the way of doing，you will never get going．
One of the best ways to learn is to take action and learn from the results that you get from those actions． Don't be afraid of not being perfect and just take the first step． You will go further than those who are still in preparation． It's good to be prepared， but over﹣preparation in trying to reach a goal won't get you results． The knowledge and skills that you will need will be picked along the way．
