As a new teacher in Denver, Kyle felt that there was something she didn’t know about her students. She thought up a lesson plan called “I Wish My Teacher Knew.”

For the activity, Kyle’s students wrote down a thought for their teacher and shared something they’d like her to know about.

The students loved this idea. Many of them were not only willing to include their names, but also enjoyed sharing it with the class.

“I wish my teacher knew I don’t have pencils at home to do my homework,” one wrote.

“I wish my teacher knew I don’t have friends to play with me,” another shared.

“I wish my teacher knew sometimes my homework is not signed (簽名) because my mum is not around a lot,” read another.

After she learnt most of her students led heartbreaking lives, Kyle shared some of the notes on social media. She hoped other teachers would use the same lesson with their own students. Soon posts and photos of notes from other schools poured in(涌入) from around the world.

“After one student shared that she had no one to play with at break, the next day during break I noticed she was playing with a group of girls. Not only can I support my students, but my students can support each other,” said Kyle.

Kyle’s story won the hearts of many people.

“I take my hat off to this teacher. It must have been heartbreaking after reading these stories.”

“If every person did one nice thing for someone, no matter how small, the world would be a better place.”

1.Kyle started the activity to_______________.

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 (獨(dú)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.

C. They don’t think lying is wrong. D. They are disappointed with their parents.

3.About _______ out of the 8,000 students in the poll said that they have lied to their parents.

A. 3,000 B. 4,500 C. 6,000 D. 7,500

4.According to Paragraph 5, older kids ________.

A. have more fun in life B. seldom lie to their parents

C. feel less close to their parents D. gets along better with their parents

5.The writer wrote this article to ____________ .

A. explain why kids tell lies

B. show how parents and kids get along

C. avoid troubles between parents and kids

D. help parents and kids understand each other better

Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone?

If yes, you’re not alone. These days, many people are facing the stress in the use of mobile phones. They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and keep checking their social media apps to get the latest updates (更新).

A report from Google shows that 70 percent of people don’t want to spend much time on their phones. This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new Android operating system(安卓操作系統(tǒng)). This new app includes functions (功能) that help users manage the time. For example, users can see how many times they’ve unlocked their phone, how many times they’ve checked their social media apps, and how much time they spend on each app every day.

Once the users see this information, they’ll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer (計時) function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they’ve hit the limit, they won’t be able to use the app until the next day. And with another function, the app gets incoming calls silent when the user puts the phone face down.

If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours on their phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that.

After all, who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps? The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower.

1.Where does the users’ stress come from?

A. Too many updates of the apps. B. Too many functions of the apps.

C. Too much information they receive. D. Too much time they spend on the phone.

2.Which of the followings is NOT included in Dashboard’s functions?

A. It stops the users from using willpower.

B. It checks how much time the users spend on apps.

C. It lists how many times the users have unlocked the phone.

D. It shows how many times the users have checked social media apps.

3.What does the underlined word “limit” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. 目的 B. 標(biāo)準(zhǔn) C. 許可 D. 限制

4.Which picture shows the phone gets incoming calls silent?

A.  B.  C.  D.

5.What does the writer think of Dashboard?

A. Its design is perfect. B. It may be helpful to some people.

C. It needs more functions. D. It has too many functions.

Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you get the most from them, and make sure you do not waste this wonderful chance to learn?

Be active about school! Don’t say things are difficult or boring. Be interested in school-life and your school subjects. Join in lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go round the school with a big smile.

Expect to work. School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working, you are not learning, and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.

62 Do not say you will do things tomorrow. Tomorrow, you have other things to do. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front.

Talk about problems—sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding. Don’t be too embarrassed to turn to others. You are young. No one thinks you can do everything!

Plan your time. Don’t waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning. Go and play a sport, learn the piano, work on a project, read a book, practice English, or help someone with problems. There are always a lot of things to do.

Follow my advice, and have a happy school-life!

1.What’s the result if you are not working at school?

2.Fill in the blank with proper words. (最多10詞)

3.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 into Chinese.
