In a primary school, a teacher asked her students what they wished to become when they grew up. There were several a—a doctor, a teacher, a film-star and so on.
One of the students gave a s answer. This child said, “I want to be a television!” The teacher asked the child w
he had such a wish. He said, with his eyes full o
tears, “There is no one at home to watch me or care for me. Everyone sits around the television. If there is a
wrong with the TV, they give great attention to it and fix(修理) it at once.”
The loving teacher met the child's mother and t about this with her. The mother said,
My husband is a very busy businessman. He n has time to look after the child.” “But what about you?” the teacher asked the mother. “What do you know about me? I'm the head of the women's club. I have s
many meetings and activities.” The teacher now understood why the child f
lonely at home.
“I think children want their parents to spend m time with them.” said the teacher.

However, in the summer of 1921, while having holiday in Canada, he suddenly fell seriously ill after that he became disabled. He was unable to walk any more.

A few words to my son
My son, if some day you find that I'm getting older and weaker, please don't lose patience but try to understand me.
If I repeat thestory , please don't interrupt(打断) me. When you were young, I had to tell the same story again and again till you fell asleep quietly.
If you find I am so ignorant(无知的) about new technology, give me more time. Don't at me. How many things have I ever taught you? I taught you how to eat, how to dress
, and how to face your life.
If I lose my memory all of a sudden in our conversation and don't know to say, please give me some time to think. If I can do nothing about that, don't worry. What
to me is to be with you.
If I can't walk, give me a hand, just like I used to hold you when you made the step of your life.
If one day I tell you that my life is ending, don't be . You will realize that I always try my best to give you the best in spite of the many mistakes I have
. Please don't be sad or upset when I lean on you. Stay close to me. Please understand me just like I used to help you fulfill your life. Help me and hold me so that I could walk to the
of my life in your love and understanding. I will pay you back
my smile and my constant love.
I love you, my child！
In classes ,your teachers will talk about topics that you are studying. The information they provide will be important for you to know when you take tests. So you must be able to take good written notes from what your teachers say.
Here are the three stages(阶段) of taking notes and what you should do during each stage.
1. Before Class
Review your notes you have taken before you come to class. This will be good for remembering what was covered. Get you ready to understand new information your teacher will provide.
2. During Class
Keep your attention on what your teacher is saying and ‘the signal word’ that tell you what your teacher is going to say and it is important to write in your notes. Examples of signal words are ‘The most important point…’and ‘Remember that…’Be sure to include in your notes information that your teacher repeats or writes on the blackboard. Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviations(缩写) such as med for medicine, using symbols such as %for percent, and writing short sentences.
3. After Class
Rewrite your notes to make them more complete and accurate(准确的) by changing abbreviations into whole words ,symbols into words, and shortened（缩短的）sentences into longer sentences. Use them to anwer your questions. If necessary , ask your teacher for help.

I didn’t think I had a passion(激情). I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show.
It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.
On that day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, s on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I had seen many like him b
.
But in some ways he was d . This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing h
to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious(珍贵)thing he had.
“ Mum, why does that man have A、radio even thought he’s homeless?” I asked.
“He bought it,” she replied.
“But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He w it on something he doesn’t need.”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important things. We need happiness, too.”
That man must c enough music to buy a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the k
to life.
Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to. A passion gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.
Stress is a state of being upset that happens when we are under pressure.We students have all experienced stress over problems with our everyday l .We may go to school or come back with worries.Some worry about r
of tests or exams，difficulty wish their students，or too much homework. O
feel bad about being overweight or lack（缺少）of free time.
Since stress can make us sick，we have to learn how to d with it. When you are stressed，don’t forget your hobbies. If you are fond of m
，just turn on the radio or CD player. Generally，p
think that TV may interfere（干扰）with their children’s studies. However，if you worry about your English and don’t k
what to do，you can get help from English TV programs. It is also helpful to s
your worries with your friends. They will surely give you some a
and help you out of trouble.
So，if we treat stress properly，we can r ourselves and keep away from its bad effects.
When I got home, Alan (sleep) on the sofa with the television on. I turned off the television. Just then he

People in developed countries usually get their drinking water from a faucet(水龙头) or a bottle. But finding safe drinking water can be rather d in developing countries. People in India, for example, often drink polluted water, which can lead to illness or even d
. But one Indian company, Sarvajal, has i
a great machine: the “water ATM”. Sarvajal’s water filtering(水过滤) network has already p
clean water in more than 130 places. Many of these places are small v
. The water ATM is new and important part of Sarvajal’s business.
How do these water ATMs w ? First, local workers filter water using Sarvajal’s equipment(设备). Then workers s
the clean water to the ATMS and sell prepaid(预付款) cards to local people. Then they can e
get water form the ATMs with the cards.
Thanks to Sarvajal’s network and water ATMs, clean water is now a to over 70,000 people in India. It makes sense that in one of the local l
Sarvajal means “water for all”.
Why should students play sports? Some people think that students play sports in order to get exercise. Others think it can help students have fun. But that is not enough. If students play sports, they can get more than healthy bodies. Why? Here are three more reasons.
Students who play sports do better in school. Some people think that doing exercise will take up students’ study time. But a recent study has shown that students who play sports get better scores in school than those who don’t. Exercise gets students to learn, remember things and concentrate better.
Students who play sports develop their teamwork spirits and learn problem-solving skills. When they are working together with others to win games and reach goals, they’re learning how to be successful in practice. And these skills will be useful to them for study or their future work.
Playing sports can also improve confidence. Students who play sports feel better about themselves. When they know they can improve and reach their goals by practicing, it builds their confidence. And sports can also help them communicate with others actively and make new friends.
Now, how about going out to play sports with your friends every day?
