For many teenagers, weekends are about hanging out with friends. Malhar Kalambe likes hanging out with his friends, too. Their meeting place, however, is quite unusual. It's the Dadar Beach in Mumbai, Malhar 's home city.
The Dadar Beach is a popular holiday choice. Plastic waste left by tourists used to line the coast. When Malhar saw this, he felt sorry and worried. He decided to do something about the mess.
During a school activity in 2017, Malhar talked about his decision. Surprisingly, all of his schoolmates wanted to help him. So “the Beach Please!” movement was born. Every weekend, Malhar and his friends would meet at the beach. Little by little, they cleaned up the waste.
Malhar and his friends have also been talking to the tourists. They ask them not to litter the beach. Over the years, the Dadar Beach has become much cleaner. Last year, the United Nations praised Malhar for his work. And Malhar said he and his friends would continue to make Mumbai cleaner and cleaner. That is always his dream.

There was a museum that made with beautiful marble tiles(大理石砖). And there was also a huge marble statue(雕像). Many people came to see the statue. One night, one of the marble tiles started talking to the marble statue.
Tile: Hey, statue. Don't you think it's unfair that everybody comes here to visit you while stepping on us?
Statue: My dear brother, don't you remember that we are in fact from the same place?
Tile: Yes. That's why we feel it's even more unfair. All of us were born from the same place, and yet the world treats us so differently now.
Statue: Do you still remember the day when the artist tried to work on you, but you refused?
Tile: Yes. We turned him away because we didn't want to get hurt.
Statue: Since you refused his tools, he started working on me instead. I knew at once that I would be something different and special after his hard work. And I bore all the pain.
After hearing this, all the marble tiles became silent and deep in thought.
The harder the knocks you go through in life, the more you can get! It wasn’ t long before the marble tiles realized it.

We'll finally grow up someday, leaving our parents and facing the challenges(挑战) in life. Parents may not be able to solve every problem for us. Instead, we should have enough life skills deal with the problems we will meet in the future.
This is what our country tries to do now: Helping more students get working spirit. To stress the importance of hardworking spirit education among students of different ages, a guideline (指导方针) came out recently. The guideline asks students to respect work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education.
According to a study of nearly 3,000 students in March, only 22% primary and middle school students help with everyday housework. Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the importance of working hard, the guideline says.
Primary and middle school should provide students with hardworking spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-Planting Day.
As children's first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do housework at home, so students can develop one or two life skills every year.

You may have heard of the popular saying, “Practice makes perfect.” But have you ever wondered whether it's really true? Does practice always make perfect?
Sometimes practice does make perfect. Take a math test for example. If you know you're going to have a math test in a week, you can keep doing math exercises before the test. If you get a full mark on your test, that's perfect and you can say the practice helped get you there.
However, in some other fields of life, practice doesn't always make perfect. It doesn't mean that practice is useless. Sometimes it just means that there's no such thing as "perfect in a certain field. For example, if you play sports or a musical instrument, there are no perfect games or perfect shows. It all depends on what you consider to be perfect."
Even if practice doesn't always make perfect, it almost always makes you better than you were before practicing. The more you practice something, the better you are at it.
1.The writer takes a math test for example to ________.
A.explain what is perfect B.encourage us to practice less
C.show practice can help us a lot D.make us believe nothing is perfect
2.Why doesn't practice make perfect sometimes?
A.Because practice is useless. B.Because there isn't a certain standard.
C.Because life is difficult for us. D.Because we can never get a full mark.
3.What does the writer talk about in the text?
A.Practice never makes perfect. B.It's easy and fun to be perfect.
C.How to practice for perfection? D.Does practice always make perfect?
