首先，请阅读下列图书简介：
| A．Beacon of Hope: A Guide to Internal Truth It tells the story of an alcoholic who becomes a psychologist and her spiritual journey. It is interesting to hear the story from both that of an alcoholic and an addictionologist. Her voice is very clear. The role of spirituality and recovery is the emphasis of the book. If you are in recovery this book would be helpful. Like an extended story from "Came to Believe". |
| B．Jonathan Livingston Seagull HE is just a seagull, but he has inspired millions of people, including US president Barack Obama, basketball superstar Kobe Bryant and late king of pop Michael Jackson. The reason why a seagull can have such universal appeal is based on a simple fact. Each of us has the desire to be more than just ordinary. We see in Jonathan our longing for a higher purpose to life. But most of us remain part of the flock since “most gulls don’t bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flight — how to get from shore to food and back again”. With failure, hunger, storms, loneliness and misunderstandings to face, one can easily give up. |
| C．Yes Man - Movie Tie-In Recently single, Danny Wallace was falling into loneliness and isolation. Until one day, when a stranger on a bus advised, "Say yes more." At that moment, Wallace vowed to say yes to every offer, invitation, challenge, and chance. For a year. Soon after resolving to be more open to what the universe had to offer, Danny wins $45,000 and becomes a television executive...and a minister. He gives spare change to anyone who asks. Invents things. Travels the globe. Nods a lot. And finds that romance isn't as complicated as it seems. Yes Man is inspiring proof that a little willingness can take anyone to the most wonderful of places. |
| D．Life of Pi |
Life of Pi is the story of a 16-year old Indian boy adrift at sea for 227 days with only a dangerous Bengal tiger for a companion. Pi Patel's journey, and survival through the use of his wits and sheer determination, is one that grabs you and never lets go. It's a story that seems both too real and surreal at the same time. Yann Martel is a master story teller and he weaves a tale that is entertaining and thought-provoking and at the end, he challenges you to believe it all. A top-notch read. From our review, "Life of Pi is a delicious treat to savor."

Sharks have lived in the world's oceans for millions of years. A shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in the water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. These powerful senses help them find their food.
Sharks grow slowly. About forty percent of the different kinds of sharks lay eggs. Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do. Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old. Most reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, over-fishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal.
.They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in the ocean do not become too great. This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.
People hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased greatly because many parts of a shark are valuable.. Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin. The skin of a shark can be used like leather. In Asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins. Experts say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins.
Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth. If too many sharks in one area are killed, the group of shark may never return to normal population levels
| A．The others give birth to live young. |
| B．Sharks are important for the health of the world's oceans. |

Should Good Sportsmanship Be Taught in School?
Almost everyone feels that it is important for young people to win fairly and show respect for others. Should good sportsmanship, then, be taught in school? The stronger argument, however, favors teaching good sportsmanship. Presented here are the most important benefits of teaching sportsmanship.________ Having a positive attitude in activities like sports, class elections, and science fair competitions are important to success in school. Activities involving winning or losing can be tense. Acting calmly under pressure helps young adults succeed not only in sports but also in life. Good sportsmanship is not a given; it must be promoted in school. Young people must be directed to role models who practice sportsmanship.
________ A person cannot play by the rules if he or she does not understand what the rules are. Many arguments on the playing field could be avoided if athletes understood their responsibilities. This also applies to other activities. If students enter a science fair competition, for example, they must follow the instructions. Additionally, knowledge provides a competitive advantage. Those who understand the rules are much more likely to succeed. In school, for example, success is definitely stressed. When students learn sportsmanship, they discover how the rules related to achievement.
_______ Using good sportsmanship helps people stay focused and in control. Almost everyone has overheard a heated argument between a player and a referee（裁判）. Good players do not argue with other players, coaches, or officials. They deal with upsets calmly; consequently, they stay in control of their game. Good players focus on achieving. Uncontrolled anger can actually cause a person to make errors. This result is especially embarrassing. Additionally, people can be labeled if they act out their upsets. A good sport is known for his or her positive conduct. Teaching students the consequences of their actions is part of sportsmanship.
_______ Good players become skilled at handling responsibility. When people accept responsibility, they achieve their best. Positive thinkers, moreover, influence others, especially those who are struggling with a problem. A gifted basketball player, for example, might teach skills to a less talented player. Helping others raises the performance of the entire team. The team, consequently, could reach new heights and set new records. Good sportsmanship, however, means “owning up” to mistakes as well. Those who do not practice sportsmanship pass off responsibility. For them, if an opportunity is lost, it is someone else’s fault. Imagine a team of players all acting in their own self-interest--- the opposite of what a team really should be. Students who participate in a team, whether a math small-group project or the school band, benefit by learning to accept responsibility and encourage others.
_______ Sportsmanship allows people to enjoy victory to the fullest. If people win, but their accomplishments are based on cheating or other immoral behavior, are they really winners? Good players follow the rules. They feel proud even in defeat because their game is based on honesty and respect. Winners congratulate their opponents（对手） as part of recognizing the efforts of others. This friendly behavior spreads goodwill from their team to other teams. Players who show respect for fans, coaches, and other players receive respect in return. They are recognized as leaders. In learning sportsmanship, students explore role models of positive behavior. They learn what it takes to be a leader; they also learn to win and lose with grace（风度）.
