The Internet can provide a wealth of educational resources for small children, if you know where to look. Enchanted Learning

Enchanted learning is a great website for children, and I know several teachers who rely on it for materials for their classrooms. Most of the information is free, but for $ 20.00 per year, you can purchase a membership that allows you to have access to the site without the advertising. The pages here are great. There are color1 ed pages and worksheets for toddlers (学步儿童) and school-age children.

Starfall

Starfall is another good educational website for small children. Teachers often use this website in classrooms. It emphasizes reading skills for early learners. The website is aimed at first-grade-level learners, but it has tools that can help all children from pre-K to second grade. The website has reading activities, worksheets to download, and a store where you can purchase educational materials for your children.

Sesame Street Workshop

Kids loveSesame Street, and it is always educational. This is one of the funniest websites online for children because it is very well animated and has great sound effects. The website has games and stories for small kids, and they can create letters at the post office and mail them to their favorite characters. 1.

You’re in a crowd of people who are all asking for the same thing. How do you make your voice heard above the rest? Be different. Don’t shout. Lisa, 25, was waiting to board a plane flying fromLondontoAustriafor Christmaswhen the flight was cancelled.

“There were about a hundred of us unable to leave,” she says. “Everyone else was shouting at the airport staff. Instead of joining in, I walked up to the man behind the ticket desk very quietly and said, ‘This must be so awful for you! I don’t know how you deal with these situations—it’s not even your fault. I could never handle it as well as you are.’ Without my even asking, he found me a seat on another airline with an upgrade to first class. He was happy to do a favor forsomeone who was appreciative instead of unfriendliness.”

Flattery (恭维) is an essential element of the sweet-talk strategy. “It’s human psychology that stroking a person’s ego (自我) with a few well-directed praises makes them want to prove you right,” says apsychologist. “Tell someone they’re pretty and they’ll instantly fix their hair; praise their sense of humor and they’ll tell a joke.”

You need help and there’s ly no reason that the person will want to lend a hand. Allison, 26. a lawyer, realized she’d made a huge mistake on a batch of documents. “The only way I could fix the problem was to get the help of a colleague who I knew didn’t like me,” she said.

Allison then went to the woman’s office and explained her problem. “As I was saying to the boss the other day you’re the only person who would know how to handle a situation like this, what would you suggest I do?” “Feeling pumped up (鼓励), she set about helping me and we finished the job on time, and she was happy to help.” Allison said.

4. Whatwould have happened at the airport according to paragraph 1? A. The departure hall was filled with noise. B. Someone screamed just lo be different. C. The passengers waited on board patiently. D. The airport stuff were rude to the passengers. 5. Why did the man put Lisa on another airline?

A. He admired Lisa’s beauty. B. He appreciated her attitude.

C. He was ready to help others. D. He was blamed for the cancellation. 6. What is the third paragraph mainly about?

A. The potential benefits of ego. B. The strategy to start small talk. C. The great importance of flattery. D. The value of humor in daily life.

7. What can we learn about Allison’s colleague? A. She was a popular lawyer.

B. She was always ready to help others. C. She always got praise from Allison. D. She did a great favor for Allison eventually.

C

Nowadays medical technology seems to be advanced enough for doctors to perform brain transplants (移植). Though this procedure (程序) has only been successfully performed on animals so far, doctors are still hopingto perform this procedure on humans. However, in my opinion, brain transplants should not be performed at all, especially not on humans because of the large number of problems and side effects that could come along with. Hopefully these dangerous side effects will convince doctors not to perform this procedure on humans.

Despite many benefits technology brings. I do not think this medical technology of brain transplants will help. We were all born with one brain and through childhood to adults our mind developed into who we are, so if with a different brain we would no longer be unique. A person with a different brain would seem to be a total stranger and in many ways they would be. No one should steal our identity from us, even if we are seriously injured, and change it to a completely new one. Also for the people who have died with healthy brains, that was their identity and it should not be given to anyone else.

Another problem with brain transplants is how doctors can choose what are “healthy” or “normal” brains. An elderly person who has died would have an aged brain that would not be as efficient as younger person’s brain. Then would doctors have to find healthy brains of the same age as the person who needs it? This could also bring up other factors such as intelligence, sex, or physical problems that a person might have had before death. Also another problem might be how long a brain can be kept “alive” after death and how it can be kept “alive” without damage.

Overall. my feelings about this operation are that it should not be done on humans until doctors have overcome all the problems and challenges that stand in their way of making human brain transplants successful. 8. Why does the author think brain transplants should not be performed at all? A. The cost of the operation is extremely high. B. Doctors are not able to perform brain transplants. C. A good many problems and side effects may arise. D. This procedure has only been successful on animals

9. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. People shouldn’t give their healthy brains to others. B. Having a brain transplant means losing one’s identity. C. Transplanting brains is changing old brains into new ones. D. Having brain transplants indicates stealing identity from others. 10. What is the writers’ attitude towards brain transplants an humans? A. indifferent B. favorable C. disapproving D. objective

11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To encourage brain donation.

B. To stress the importance of brain operation. C. Toargue against brain transplants on humans. D. To introduce the technology of brain transplants.

Last term, our school holds a math competition. To my surprise, I got the highest mark. To be honest, I felt very proudly. I was overjoyed. When one of my classmate asked me a question, I thought it was too easy but I was impatient with explaining them. As result, some of my classmates began to thinking badly of me. When I was having classes, I was absent-minded. By and by, I fell behind. When I became aware for this, I felt regretful. As a saying goes, pride goes before a fall. This experience made me to realize we should be modest, no matter whatever progress we make.
