You experience and create all kinds of different energies that decide how you feel and what you do in your day. The things you say, think or do all produce energy that influences (影響) you and the people around you. If you work on creating more positive energy (正能量),you'll see improvements in your life and you'll touch more lives than you thought.

Energy comes in different forms, but all lead to some kind of reaction (反應(yīng)) within us .Often, when I wake up I open the curtains(窗簾) to let the sunshine into the room. This is a great way to become energized in the morning. If it's raining, instead of letting it trouble me, I will find the good in it. I will be positive about the rain and look for the beauty in it. Whatever the weather, I fully enjoy the moment. So everything is beautiful energy.

The reason why we should focus on positive energy is that it is contagious(有感染力的).When you often take in the positive energy from people around you, it will be seen in the outer world.

My good friend Alex is perhaps the best example of this. He always goes to school with a bright smile on his face. He loves being close to nature and fully understands the beauty around him. He confidently keeps working towards his goal without worrying about whether he will succeed or not. I couldn't begin to tell you how many times people have told me stories about Alex making their day, or making them smile or simply making them feel good. Everyone loves being around him and they feed off his energy.

Some people think that positive energy is not easy to have, however, it's something we create in our day-to-day activities. If music is the easiest way for you to get energy, you can close your eyes to fully enjoy it. If being in nature is something that energizes you, try spending a little more time outdoors. When you create positive energy, it influences everything and everyone around you .In this way, we play a much larger part in the bigger picture than we realize.

1.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Positive energy depends on good weather.

B.Music is the easiest way to get positive energy

C.The creation of positive energy helps make your life better.

D.People cant get positive energy through day-to-day activities.

2.The example of Alex in the passage is to show___________.

A.everyone needs a good friend like Alex

B.some find it difficult to enjoy the moment

C.people with positive energy can influence others

D.a person can make many friends by sharing positive energy

Everybody knows that soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world.

Soccer is not a new sport. People all over the world played the game in different ways long ago. For example, in China nearly 2,000 years ago, soldiers kicked a ball as part of their exercise. Five hundred years ago in Europe, games in the street were common.

Soccer became popular in England in the 1800s. Different schools, clubs and groups played with different rules. In 1863, these English groups had meetings. They organized(組織)the different games into one game with similar rules. Soon, they formed the Football Association.

Not everyone agreed with the new rules. In England, some groups wanted to hold the ball with their hands so these groups formed rugby clubs. Groups in the United States also wanted to use their hands in the sport so they formed"football"clubs. Americans who didn't want to use their hands called the game “soccer”. Soccer is a short form of the word association.

From England, soccer began to grow. The first official international game of soccer was played between Scotland and England in 1872. By the 1880s, there were professional soccer teams in several parts of Europe. English players also introduced soccer to Africa, South America and New Zealand.

Soccer soon became very popular all around the world. FIFA, the international football federation(聯(lián)盟), met for the first time in 1904. Seven countries came to the meeting. The first World Cup was in Uruguay in 1930. Only 13 countries played in the Uruguayan World Cup.

The World Cup is now the most popular sporting event in the world. Over 720 million people around the world watch the final game of the World Cup.

Next time you're playing soccer with your friends, remember that you're part of a long history of a fun and exciting sport.

Last fall, many people shared social media(社交媒體) posts about scary clowns(可怕的小丑). The online posts said people dressed as clowns were waiting near schools planning to hurt students.

The clown story scared many people-but not the students in Diane Gardner's class Ms. Gardner teaches eighth-grade language arts. Her class did not believe the clown story.

“Some people got scared because they never looked into seeing who was posting the stories they were reading on social media,” said 13-year-old Patricia Rose from Ms. Gardner's class, “Sometimes people read just one story and automatically believed it was true,” her classmate Ivy Brooks added. “They should look to see where the story came from. Is it from a news group? Is it just a rumor- a circulating(流傳的) story of uncertain truth?”

The posts were actually not written by reporters. Many posts like these were made by teenagers who did not have any proof (證據(jù))of what they were posting. In the end, the clown story turned out to be a joke. It was fake news, or news that is wrong on purpose.

There are different kinds of fake news. Some have facts with incorrect information in them. A fact is something that can be proven true. Other fake news stories are opinions, but pretend (偽裝)to be facts. An opinion is something a person thinks. Opinions change from person to person. Fake news is a problem because it spreads(傳播)wrong information.

Being able to spot(認(rèn)出) fake news is an increasingly important skill today. Stories spread lightning-fast online. It is also easier than ever to share incorrect information. Almost anyone can make a website where lies look like facts.

This can make it hard to know what real news is. That is why Ms Gardner is teaching her students to think critically(審判地) so that they can avoid falling for fake stories.

In her class, Ms. Gardner often points out that the first step when reading news is to slow down. “First, stop and think,”she says. “Then, ask yourself some questions: Is there any proof in the story? Where is this story coming from? Did the writer have a reason to make up this story?”

Her students have also learned and practiced these things. After they read a news story, they decide if the news story has mostly facts, or mostly opinions. Then they check the facts, they do more research to see if the story is right.

To test her students Gardner showed them a website about an animal called the pacific Northwest Tree Octopus. The website is full of information on this tree-climbing sea creature. It even has a few unclear pictures. But, just like the scary clowns, it's totally made up.

Ms. Gardner said this was a good lesson for her students. She wanted them to double-check the information they see. Her advice is simple: “_________”

1.At the beginning of the passage, the writer mentions the clown story to_________.

A.show that students aren't scared easily

B.warn that clowns could be dangerous to students.

C.suggest that stories spread online can sometimes be fake.

D.prove that stories not written by reporters are made up

2.According to the passage, a good reader of news would probably_________.

A.spot opinions in stories that pretend to be facts

B.do more research to check the opinions in the story

C.avoid falling for fake stories by reading very slowly

D.believe a story that includes more facts than opinions

3.What advice might Ms Gardner give her students?

A.Question everything. B.Never spread fake news.

C.Act quickly, think slowly. D.Read today, lead tomorrow.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Stories that spread fast online are most likely fake news.

B.Patricia Rose hates people who post stories on the Internet.

C.Ms Gardner believes social media is harmful to her students.

D.Social media has made it easier and faster to spread fake news.
