These days，Chinese children are sometimes busier on weekends than weekdays because they have to take so many after﹣school classes.Many of them are learning exam skills so that they can get into a good high school and later a good university.Others are practicing sports so that they can compete and win.However，this doesn't only happen in China.
The Taylors are a typical American family.Life for Cathy Taylor's three children is very busy. "On most days after school，" Cathy says， "I take one of my two boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training.Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons.Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities，but I believe these activities are important for my children's future.I really want them to be successful.However，the tired children don't get home until after 7：00 p.m.They have a quick dinner，and then it's time for homework.
Linda Miller，a mother of three，knows all about such stress. "In some families，competition starts very young and continues until the kids get older，" she says. "Mothers send their small kids to all kinds of classes.And they are always comparing them with other children.It's crazy.I don't think that's fair.Why don't they just let their kids be kids？People shouldn't push their kids so hard."
Doctors say too much pressure is not good for a child's development.Dr.Alice Green says all these activities can cause a lot of stress for children. "Kids should have time to relax and think for themselves，too.Although it's normal to want successful children，it's even more important to have happy children."
（1）What's the common problem for Chinese and American families？
（2）What's Cathy Taylor's idea about so many after﹣school activities？
（3）What does Linda Miller think about after﹣school activities？
（4）What's Dr.Alice Green's opinion about afterschool activities？
Self﹣love is the most important if you want to find out your full potentials（潜质）on earth.Accepting who you are makes you feel that you are good enough.
You are good enough does not mean you are perfect.Nobody is perfect.Being good enough means you accept who you are and believe in yourself.The truth is，opinions of other people make it hard for you to find the good part of yourself.So，（2） you need to believe in yourself instead of caring what people think of you.Be sure you are doing it for yourself，not for someone else.Just make efforts to improve yourself and then you are sure to become the best you can be，or a better version（版本）of yourself.
What should we do when someone is stuck（深陷）in the ocean of not feeling good enough？Here are some suggestions to help.First，be a good listener.Listening to someone will not only make them feel they are worthy but also make you know better what they are going through.Then you will get the idea of how to cheer them.Besides，always encourage others.When people talk about their dreams，tell them it's possible that all dreams can come true.So，loving others in this way will make them feel good enough.
（1）What does "being good enough" mean？
（2）Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
（3）What should you do to make yourself a better version？
（4）List two suggestions mentioned to help others feel good enough.
a. b.
（5）Give a proper title to the passage.
You know you have to read "between the lines，" to get the information. （1） You shouldn't mark a book which isn't yours.People who lend you books expect you to keep them clean.If you think it is useful to mark books，you will have to buy them.
There are two ways in which one can own a book.One is to pay for it，just as you pay for clothes and furniture （家具）.But full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself. （2）
There are three kinds of book owners.（3） The second has most of the books that are as clean as those on the day they were bought.The third has a few dog﹣eared （翻折的）books，which are marked from front to back.
Why is marking a book necessary？ （4） And reading is thinking.The marked book is usually the thought﹣through book.Writing helps you remember the thoughts you had a lot，or the thoughts the writer expressed.
（5） The book you read for pleasure can be read in a state （状态）of relation，and nothing is lost.But for a great book，rich in ideas，you can't let your eyes move across the lines.You should come up with an understanding of what you have read.
| A.The best way to be a full owner is by writing it. B.Here are some suggestions on getting the information during your reading. C.Because it keeps you awake. D.If reading is to learn anything more than passing time，it must be active. E.The first has all the books that are unread and untouched. |
The human brain weighs about 1.4 kilograms，but it can hold much more information than most computers.However，there is another difference between human brains and computers.Computers don't forget information they are given，but humans often do.No one remembers everything，and luckily we don't usually have to.But everyone can improve their memories if they want to.Here are some suggestions.
Try to use new information immediately.For example，if you meet someone who says "Hi!I'm Carlos"，don't just say "hello".Repeat the person's name and say "Hello，Carlos".
Break a big number into small parts.For example，it's hard to remember 109244153.But if you break it into three parts﹣109/244/153，it will become easier.
Write down what you need to remember over and over again.This will help you keep it in mind longer，especially when memorizing formulas or facts.
Always review information.If you bring what you've learned back to your mind，it'll become easier to remember.For example，before you go to sleep，it's a good idea to review the new things you've learned that day.
Discuss things with friends.It is always easier to remember things through discussions.You can have a discussion about what's right or wrong，and it will lead to the right answer.
All of the suggestions are helpful.If you follow them，you are certain to improve your memory.

The Value of Negative Results
We all avoid failure（失败），and most of us fear it.However，without failure，progress would be impossible.What does success usually come after？Failure.It seems that one cannot exist（存在）without the other.
Accepting failure is not easy for many，though we are often unwilling accept failure because our professional fame depends on success.（1） In the past ten years，for example，some scientific magazines have published reports of failed tests.It is believed that scientists can learn more "negative（负面的）"results and that this can finally lead to positive results.
（2） The ABN AMRO bank started an Institute （机构）of Brilliant Failures to learn more about what works and what doesn't in banking.Eli Lilly and Company had failure parties to study the drugs（药物）that don't work.
In fact，one of the business world's most famous failures became one of its biggest successes，in part because the product's makers learned from their mistakes.（3） The product，though unique（独特的）at the time，was expensive and heavy；besides，some of its most important features（特点）didn't work properly.As a result，Apple's CEO，Steve Jobs，believed in the product and he began to find out ways of improving it.In time，this led to the production of the iPhone and the iPad，two of the company's most successful products.
（4） Not only should we try to learn from it if we want to succeed，we must also be persistent（执着的）.Though Apple stopped selling the Newton in 1998，the first iPhone wasn't available until 2007.It took a lot of research and hard work to go from the Apple Newton to iPhone but in the end，the effort became successful.
All in all，there is a lot we can learn by studying mistakes.Perhaps the most important lesson is that failure and success are two sides of the same coin. （5）
A.One truly cannot exist without the other.
B.We are brave enough to face difficulties.
C.In the early 1990s，Apple created a phone called the Apple Newton.
D.The business world already understands the value of negative results.
E.The Apple Newton has won popularity with people all over the world.
F.However，things are slowly changing，especially in business and science.
G.The story of the Apple Newton can teach us an important lesson about failure.
Reading is fun!You can also analyze texts（文本）to learn more from the texts and about the texts.One way you can do this with fiction books，passages，or poems is by exploring their themes.
A theme is a central idea running throughout the text，connecting the characters and events.The writer may express his or her thoughts about humanity or a worldview through a theme.Themes can be ideas like friendship，bravery，love，honesty or family.Make sure you know what the writer is saying.
Sometimes，themes are hard to find out.First，the theme may not be able to be included in just one word like the examples above.There may also be more than one theme in the text.What's more，some themes are not presented in the words directly.You have to use clues in the texts to find them.
To start exploring the theme，first you need to make sure you've read the whole text.Since themes develop over time，you can't fully understand the underlying themes until the end of the text.Then，ask yourself to sum up（概括）the text and try to work out a "big idea".For example，did many characters resolve problems with their families？If there was only one small problem with a character's family，then "family" might not be the theme of the text.Finally，after finding out a "big idea"，go through the text to find examples that support this idea.You needn't repeat every detail of the story﹣a few key examples will be fine.
Now you are ready to explore the theme of a text!
| Exploring the （1） of a text |
|
| Main points |
Detailed information |
| （2） is a theme？ |
● A theme is a （3） idea that connects the characters and events. ● The （4） thoughts are possibly expressed through the theme. |
| Why is it （5） to find the theme？ |
●You might not （6） the theme in just one word. ●There may also be more than one theme in the text. ● Some themes are not presented in a （7） way. |
| How can you explore the theme？ |
●Read the text till the （8） to fully understand the themes. ●Work out a "big idea" of the text by summing up the text. ●Find some key examples to （9） the "big idea".It's not （10） to repeat every detail. |
A mind map is basically a tool that connects information around a central subject.It can help you make a knowledge bank to solve problems.A student recently said， "I thought mind mapping would take a lot of time to do but in fact it saves me time.（1）
How to make a mind map？Now follow these steps for making wonderful mind maps.
（2 ） Why？Because starting in the center lets your brain spread out in all directions and express itself more freely and naturally.
Use a picture for your central idea.Why？Because a picture is worth a thousand words and helps you use your imagination.（3） It helps get your attention and makes you work excitedly!
Connect your main branches （分支） to the central picture and connect your second﹣and﹣third﹣level branches to the first and second levels，etc.Why？Because your brain works by connection（4） If you connect the branches，you will understand and remember a lot more easily.
Use one key word every line.Why？Because every single key word can make you learn more clearly and easily.
（5） Why？Because each picture，just like the central picture，is also worth a thousand words.So，if you have 10 pictures in your mind map，they are already worth 10，000 words of notes.
Try to use more colors.Why？Because colors are as exciting to your brain as pictures.Color adds great energy to your creative thinking，and is fun!
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意通顺、内容完整。
A.Start in the center of a page.
B.Use pictures as many as possible.
C.A central picture is more interesting.

Most of us have three meals a day .We take food for granted(想当然)。And we don’t think about it. experts argue a food crisis(危机)is coming.This crisis is going to make us the way we think about food.
Food is in great need a growing of world population.By 1960,the population was three billion.It doubled to six billion by 1999.By 2050,this planet will need to at least nine billion people.As a result,the food prices get higher and higher.
So,what can a ,crowed world do?One suggestion is to eat meat.Meat uses more natural resources(资源)than grains(谷物) .It requires more to produce one pound of meat than to produce one pound of grain. It also requires between 5 and 10 times more than vegetables. So ,eating less meat will more land for farming,and it will save water.
To eats less meat,people will need to change their eating habits. That will not be .Americans, for example,have loved meat. In general, They eat twice as much meat as people in other countries.At the same time,in developing countries like China and Brazil,sales of meat have doubled in the last 20 years. will double again by 2050.Growing need of meat wil1 to put pressure on natural resources.
World population is increasing,resources are becoming fewer,and food prices are rising.Therefore, we need to rethink we eat every day. For meat lovers, we don’t need to give up meat .But we need to eat more grains and less meat.21cnjy
