I was about to go back home after school while I heard someone crying nearby. I looked around and found the boy sitting on the ground. I went up to him and asking gently what had happened. The boy looked at me, still crying, pointed out to a ball in a deep hole and told me everything. I decided lend him a hand, and the ball was out of my reach. Where could I get the ball? I thought it over and then had an idea. I quickly fetched some bottles of water and poured them into the hole. With the water rising, the ball floated up. The boy got the ball happy and expressed his thank for my offer.

Little Habits Make a Big Difference
Everything around us is changing at amazing speed, it seems ̶ but some things will always remain the same.1. Some of our daily habits have the power to always give us happiness and lead us toward success. Here are some little habits that can make a big difference:
2.
Many studies have linked early rising with success. An early morning wake-up carries benefits including better planning and anticipation（预料）of problems, and more time to do the things that make you happy.
Happiness comes to those who are curious.
3. As long as you live, there will always be something to learn, and as long as you follow your heart and your passions, you won’t miss out on learning.
Believe in yourself and all that your are.
4. Confidence is the key to success ̶ the thing that lets you look at the past without regret, stay grounded in the present, and prepare for the future without fear.
A day well spent gets you a good night sleep.
Enough sleep makes you feel healthier and happier, and it’s more than lifting up your mood or removing exhaustion. Adequate sleep is a key part of your health and inner happiness. 5..
It doesn’t take a huge effort to make a significant change in your life －using one or two tiny habits may be all you need. Get started today and you’ll soon be experiencing the rewards.
A. That’s why habits are so powerful.
B. The ground work of all happiness is good health.
C. Early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy, and wise.
D. The habit of respect means treating everyone with kindness.
E. Nothing will ever make you happier than having faith in yourself.
F. When you rest better, you can live better and achieve more happiness.
G. There is no stage in life when we can’t be learning something valuable.
Many years ago, people relied on the sun, the moon and stars to find their way around. Later, the compass was introduced. And now, we have satnav（卫星导航）systems to guide us. A satnav system uses groups of satellites to show the user’s location. They send information to a receiver, such as a smartphone, to show us where we are.
The earliest built satnav system is the Global Positioning Satellite System, which belongs to the US. Then there is Russia’s Global Navigation Satellite system，the European Union’s Galileo and China’s own satellite navigation system, Beidou.
On October 18, 2017, an ARJ21-700 plane, which was the first domestically（国内地） produced jet equipped with the Beidou navigation system, successfully completed a test flight. The results showed the performance of the system developed by China matches that of similar systems produced abroad, according to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China.
Since its introduction in 2000, the Beidou navigation system has been increasing numbers of applications linked to everyday life, from shared bikes to farming.
When it comes to shared bikes, smart locks that support Beidou chips offer more accurate positioning than others, making it easier to find a bike.
Farmers can use Beidou-enabled tractors to plow（犁）the soil and use unmanned aircraft with Beidou to sow seeds, which can improve efficiency and make better use of resources. Beidou’s farming applications have spread from Heilongjiang Province to Beijing, Liaoning, Shanxi, Hubei and other regions across China.
With its many uses, the Beidou navigation system is even playing a big role in the Belt and Road Initiative（一带一路）. “To date, the Beidou system has covered most parts of the Asia-Pacific region, as well as countries along the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road,” said Yang Changfeng, chief designer of the Beidou system.
Today, there are more than 20 Beidou satellites above our heads, and China plans to launch even more this year to expand the Beidou network to better serve the Belt and Road Initiative.
“As Beidou expands its overseas reach, it will be increasingly popular in the logistics（物流） industry,” said Miao Qianjun, Secretary General of the navigation services association. “Ships, for example, can use it to position themselves while sailing across oceans to European countries, no longer limited to Southeast Asian regions in the near future.

A primary school in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province has announced it no longer requires parents to sign their children’s homework, which was aimed at getting parents to supervise(监督) their children after school. China Youth Daily comments: Putting an end to the requirement that parents sign off on the homework of their children eases the burden on many parents, as otherwise they would have to do primary school homework after a hard day’s work. But there are worries that if parents stop having to sign off on their children’s homework, the children will not get good grades.
However, the most effective way for children to study is to develop their willingness to learn and do their own studies. When doing homework, students practice and hopefully apply what they have learned. It is true that teachers are supposed to check students’ homework and identify their mistakes. But some parents correct their children’s mistakes by themselves when signing off on it.
It is the duty of students to do their homework, be responsible for their studies and correct their mistakes. Parents’ supervising their homework, checking their answers and dealing with the harder problems will only make children less aware of their mistakes and encourage them to wait for their parents’ help when they face any problems.
Children have to manage their own learning and develop the ability to study by themselves, as competence will not be achieved if a student simply repeats strict tasks in which he is assisted in school by teachers and at home by parents.
A delayed satisfaction experiment conducted by Walter Mischel in the 1960s proved that children with better self-discipline(自律) performed better in their studies and interpersonal relationships.
There is little doubt that parents’ supervision can make children’s homework better. But it does not give children the chance to practice their ability to solve problems independently.

A. ease the burden on many parents.
B. help children get good grades.
C. increase the kids’ awareness of being responsible for their studies.
D. shift(转移) the responsibility of supervising kids’ homework on to teachers.
3.Which of the following can be an effect caused by parents’ stopping signing off?
A. Children’s grades will absolutely decrease.
B. Children will lose confidence when facing any problems.
C. Children will simply repeat rigid tasks so as to practice themselves.
D. Children will try to deal with their problems and mistakes by themselves.
4.What is the author’s attitude to parents’ stopping signing kids’ homework?
