Depending on yourself
Growing up is not always easy． When we face difficulties， a spirit of depending on yourself is more useful than crying for help． That's what Hong Zhanhui's story of growing from boy to man with family hardship tells us．
Hong was born in 1982in a poor family in Xihua County （县）， Henan Province． When he was only 11， his father became badly ill and one day he came back with an unwanted baby girl． A year later， Hong's mother left home． She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick husband． So everything hard fell onto the young boy's shoulders： to take care of his father and the sister Chenchen， and to go on to study．
Although his life was hard， Hong didn't go away from his father and sister． He worked in part﹣time jobs to feed his family． He climbed tall trees to get birds' eggs for his sister． He walked two hours at weekends to the market to buy different things to sell around his school． A few years later， he studied at a college． To take care of Chenchen， he worked hard to rent （租） a room near his college for her， and sent her to school．
After Hong's story went public， he became a hero in people's eyes． But Hong refused offers from others． He said he felt encouraged by kind offers， but he could depend on his own work．
Through his hard life， he has grown up from boy to man．

Sometimes it may seem that what you are learning at school will be of no use in the future． It may seem that you're wasting your life away． But you will be surprised to find how much of what you learnt at school is helpful to you one day． Three people were asked what they found useful at school， and their thoughts are shared below．
When I used to ask my teacher how to spell something， she often said， I don't know． Then she would take out the dictionary and look it up． She was not ashamed to say that she didn't know the answer． I learnt two things． You don't have to know _______； and if you don't know how to spell something， just get the dictionary out． Both are very useful lessons!

In school， you also learn to deal with life in general． Little mistakes can seem to be very serious． Wear the wrong clothes and it seems that everyone is laughing at you． Get too close to a boy too fast and everyone talks about you． You want to go into a hole and die! But the truth is that life goes on． You might feel that what you did "wrong" will never ever be forgotten． However， if you can be brave and keep on， you will find that whatever happened will pass and you will start to enjoy life again．

We had a class called Guidance and in it we learnt about making good decisions in life． I found it pretty boring and didn't pay much attention． One day the teacher made us guess which appliance（家电）
we should buy first once we had our own homes． The answer was a fridge． I learnt that it was true once I had my own place． The first day I bought some chicken meat． By dinner time it smelled and I couldn't

Getting English Language Learners to Put Down the Books and Have Some Fun
Even if there's so much about English that can be learned from a book or even in a traditional classroom setting，a lot of the language can still be learned best in more relaxing situations where students are having fun.Here are some suggestions.
★Communicate with strangers.If you live in an area filled with English speakers，get students out of the classroom.（1） .Students may not speak to strangers，but they'll hear conversations taking place and may begin to understand how the words learnt in the classroom are actually used in everyday speech.
★Let their guard down.One difficult thing for learners is confidence （自信）when they speak English.Fun activities，especially those outside of the classroom，give students a chance to feel relaxed.（2） .It may take a bit of time at the beginning，but once students get into it，they'll start to get confidence.
★Make use of English media （媒体）.Most recorded language instruction is pretty boring and it can get tiring hearing the same voice repeat the same phrases.（3） .They will hear common expressions and more everyday conversations in the movie.If they're not sure about something they hear，it can turn into a more formal lesson once back in the classroom.
★（4） .Casual （随意的）conversations give learners the chance to hear or use English in situations.They can talk all they want about expressions to use while dining out or informal words to use with friends，but it takes a trip to McDonald's or a picnic in the park for many of those expressions to truly set in.
| A． |
You can let students go to a movie in English. |
| B． |
Put them among other English speakers. |
| C． |
They may hate to speak English. |
| D． |
Hear or use English in situations. |
| E． |
They will speak more freely. |

Join clubs． Take part in after school activities that interest you．（3） Being in a club makes you more social． If you don't join any clubs， you will just go to class and then go home．
Stay clean． No one likes a bad smell that could knock someone over．（4） You should make yourself look clean and tidy， whatever you wear．

Problems between parents and children are common.If you need to improve your relationship with your parents，you are not alone.To develop a better relationship with your parents，you should change how you think and do things.（1） .

Be thankful to your parents.Think about everything that your parents have done for you,you are sure to feel thankful to them.（3） .Give them a nice gift or do some housework without being asked.They will be happy with you for these actions.
（4） .Talk to your parents about things that you care about and your feelings about these things.Often talk to them，and your parents can understand you better.If so，it's easy for them to discuss things that you are interested in and develop the relationship.
Accept that your parents are different.They grow up in a different situation with different technologies.（5） .Try to remind them of any problem in their relationships with their parents because of these differences.Use this information when you talk to your parents to improve your relationship with them.

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

When I arrived in the early morning for the first time at Sydney airport，the first thing that I looked for was a coffee shop．Finally，I found a nice coffee shop with many people queuing （排队）to order．（67） Then a very friendly girl asked me if she could help me．I said that I would like to have a cup of tea．Then she asked me，"（68） "I thought she was making a morning joke with me．So I said，"Red tea，please．"With a very unfriendly face she asked me again，"Black or white tea，please？"（69） I didn't know what actually black or white tea was．I only knew that having tea is usually with or without sugar．

It seems that food deliverymen（送货员） are always in a hurry． They wear blue， red or yellow helmets and many of them don't follow traffic rules． （1） They use mobile phones while driving．
These rude behaviors have caught the public's attention． In the first half of 2017， food deliverymen had 76 traffic accidents in Shanghai， according to Shanghai Public Security Bureau． That means every two and a half days， a food deliveryman will die or get hurt on the road．
（2） The strict rules of the food delivery service companies and the anxious customers may be the answer． Many companies will fine（罚款） a deliveryman up to 2，000 yuan， if he fails to deliver an order on time， reported China Daily． （3）
To solve the problem， food delivery service companies need to improve their incentive systems， noted CRI Online． （4） Shanghai has asked companies to train their deliverymen on traffic rules and safety． Now in Shenzhen， if a deliveryman gets caught breaking traffic rules more than twice， then he will be banned（禁止） from driving food service delivery vehicles for a whole year．
A． Some cities are also taking action．
B． What are the strict rules used for？
C． What makes deliverymen take such risks？
D． Fines also go to those who get bad reviews from customers．

Too many people want others to be their friends， but they don't give friendship back． That is why some friendships don't last very long．（1） You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you． Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules： be honest； be generous（慷慨的）； be understanding．
Honesty is where a good friendship starts． Friends must be able to trust one another．If you don't tell the truth， people usually find out． If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest， you may lose your friend's trust．（2）
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow． You don't have to give your lunch money or your clothes， of course． Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy， your hobbies and interests． Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings．（3） They tell your friend what is important to you． By sharing them you help your friend know you better．
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem． Something may go wrong at school． Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve．（4） So to be a friend you must listen and understand． You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so you can understand the problem better．
（5） But all true friendships have three things in common． If you plan to keep your friendships， you must practice honesty， generosity and understanding．
| A． To have a friend， you must learn to be one． B． A friend in need is a friend indeed． C． No two friendships are ever exactly alike． D． Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem． E． These can be valuable to a friend． F． Good friends always trust one another to speak and act honestly． |
