In the past three years, many activities had been organized by our school. What impressed me mostly was an activity calling “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we went to a farm, where we learned knowledge and had many fun. Having been in the city for such a long time, we were more than happy to go to a countryside. After we arrived, we divided into three groups. Some students learned how to raise pigs, some worked in the garden, and the other helped the farmers with the work in the fishpond. It was not until it was totally dark when we stopped working. Though we were tired out but we felt pleased on our way back home.

    Michael Evans was standing in line, waiting to pay his taxes. Suddenly, he heard a/an_________sound ahead of him. The elderly woman at the window was crying. Then Evans learned why: he heard the cashier (出纳员) _________ her that her house was headed for auction (拍卖). He also heard the woman tell the cashier that her daughter had recently died.

Evans, who had just _________his father, knew too well the pain of losing a loved one. He _________the window, saying to the cashier, “If you can get her house back, I’ll pay for her taxes. The amount due: $20,000.”

The elderly woman was _________. Her despair turned to disbelief. The cashier left to _________ the amount and Evans _________to go straight to the bank for the money. And he did.

But when he___________, he asked someone else to hand the money to the cashier. Evans was trying to slip away _______. “I didn’t want this attention,” he explains.

Of course, ____________found him — it’s not every day that someone pays a stranger’s large tax bill. That said, Evans often finds himself on the giving end of such situation, ______________ for years he went unrecognized for it.

Evans received a/an ____________for his lifetime of ____________ a few weeks after the tax incident.____________he didn’t want the attention, but his son thought differently, “So good to see my dad finally get the recognition he____________.”

Michael Evans Sr. will retire soon and he hopes he’ll continue to ____________his local youth football league team — he pays for their equipment and uniforms. His son will ____________the business, with his dad’s love for charity. “I feel __________of my father. When a man heard a stranger was about to lose her house. He opened his heart — and his__________.”

“I ____________my life after him and I want my children to look at me the way I look at my dad.”

Effective Communication With Parents

This book explains how school leaders can become successful communicators with teachers and parents。

The effective approaches to communicating with parents in the book are: Listen, Apologize, Solve, and Thank. 1. It can be a challenge to listen quietly when being attacked or when wrong information is being shared, but listening quietly without interruption is the most important.

2. Many people struggle with making apologies- especially when they feel they've done nothing wrong. But remember, we are not necessarily apologizing for our actions, but rather because of how the parent feels or what happened. For example, "I'm sorry this happened" or "I'm sorry you feel that way.”

Listening and apologizing are the two hardest steps to a successful meeting with a dissatisfied parent. 3.However, they set the tone for the final two steps of offering a solution and thanking the parent for their time.

4.More importantly, LAST helps to avoid the disadvantages of becoming defensive, and damaging your partnership with the parent.

Parent-teacher conferences can be difficult when there are agendas on either side that are not known. 5. They should try to focus on where the student is academically, and what the child and parents can do to help the situation.

A.These steps can feel unpleasant.

B.Choose your words carefully and thoughtfully.

C.After listening, I encourage teachers to apologize.

D.When communicating with a parent, it is important to listen quietly.

E.Give parents an opportunity to say what they want the teacher to know.

F.One thing teachers should know is to make sure the conference is student-centered.

G.When you follow these four steps, any parent-teacher conference can be successful.

    Scientists may one day be able to destroy viruses in the same way that opera singers break wine glasses. New research mathematically determined the frequencies at which simple viruses could be shaken to death.

The capsid (壳) of a virus is something like the shell of a turtle, said physicist Otto Sankey of Arizona State University. “If the shell can be damaged by mechanical vibrations (震动), the virus can be destroyed.”

Recent experimental evidence has shown that laser (激光) pulses with the right frequency can kill certain viruses. However, locating these resonant (共振的) frequencies is a bit of trial and error. Experiments must try various conditions, Sankey said.

To further this search, Sankey and his student Eric Dykeman have developed a way to calculate the vibrations of every atom in a virus shell. From this, they can determine the lowest resonant frequencies. An experiment has recently shown that pulses of laser light can cause destructive vibrations in virus shells. Sankey said, “Like pushing a child on a swing from rest, one sudden push gets the virus shaking.”

However, it is difficult to calculate what sort of push will kill a virus, since there can be millions of atoms in its shell structure. A direct calculation of each atom’s movements would take several hundred thousand Gigabytes of computer memory, Sankey explained.

The team plans to use their technique to study other, more complicated viruses. However, it is still a long way from using this to destroy the viruses in infected people. “This is such a new field, and there are so few experiments that the science has not yet had enough time to prove itself,” Sankey said. “We remain hopeful but remain skeptical at the same time.”

1.What is the new way to kill viruses?

A.Replacing viruses’ capsids with shells.

B.Breaking viruses’ capsids by vibration.

C.Locating the position of certain viruses.

D.Damaging the conditions that viruses like.

2.Why does Sankey mention “pushing a child on a swing” in Paragraph 4?

A.To prove how simple the new theory is.

B.To explain how to start the virus shaking.

C.To suggest the idea comes from our real life.

D.To show the destructive power of vibrations.

3.What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?

A.The shell structure of viruses.

B.The lack of computer memory.

C.The challenging part of the research.

D.The importance of atoms’ movement.

4.What is Sankey’s attitude towards the theory?

A.Disapproving. B.Worried.

C.Uncaring. D.Positive.

    When you're a teen you start being more aware of what other people think. There seems to be a “right” thing to wear, or say, or do. There also seem to be things that you shouldn’t do-things that could be embarrassing, or lose your points with friends. This can lead to social anxiety.

Some kids feel so anxious that they develop something called social anxiety disorder (障碍), which is diagnosed (诊断) when you worry so much about how you appear to others that you stop doing things you need to and want to do for fear of embarrassing yourself.

Kids with social anxiety disorder aren't just nervous when they’re at parties or giving a speech in class. Even small interactions (互动), like answering a question in class or eating with friends in the cafeteria can feel extremely scary to kids with social anxiety disorder. That's because they fear they might accidentally do something embarrassing or offensive, and it will make others judge or even reject them.

And while kids who are just shy will gradually warm up to new people and situations over time, kids with social anxiety don't. Shyness might hold you back to some degree from doing things, but it won't deeply influence your ability to do your job as a teenager, which is to function in school, function in your family, and to have friends and be a part of your peer-related community. But social anxiety will.

Many teens experience anxiety disorders. Being brave and telling someone how you feel might seem scary, but if you can get over that obstacle, someone will want to listen. Asking for help can be hard, but it really is important.

1.What is the main cause of social anxiety?

A.Lack of friendship. B.One's appearance.

C.School performance. D.Other’s judgment.

2.Who is most likely to be diagnosed with social anxiety?

A.Alice, who skips school to avoid answering questions in class.

B.David, who always thinks he can't do as well as his classmates.

C.Chris, who feels nervous every time he gives a speech in public.

D.Jenny, who has been in low spirits since she failed the last exam.

3.Social anxiety disorder differs from shyness in that         .

A.it influences people around you

B.it only makes your grades suffer

C.it greatly affects your normal life

D.it is related to your study or work

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.What Is Social Anxiety Disorder

B.How Social Fear Ruins Relationships

C.Why Teens Suffer from Social Anxiety?

D.When Anxiety Disorders Go Unnoticed
