When you wake up every day, once again to see this beautiful world, when your parents, teachers and friends give you help, will you know how to be （71）grateful? And when you feel unlucky and make mistakes, will you still be thankful?
Yu Dan, a professor at the Beijing Normal University, made a report about Gratitude Education（感恩教育）．It will affect Chinese people, especially the teenagers．
Nowadays, some teenagers only care about things outside．They often behave badly．For example, they fight each other, use phones in class, be rude to their parents and teachers and so on．Most of them don’t know love, respect and gratefulness．
Being grateful or thankful is very important．（73） It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time as long as he lives in the world．We should learn how to face failure or bad luck bravely and to try to deal with it．As we know, “Life is a mirror．When you smile in front of it, it will also smile and so will it when you cry to it．” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight．If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end．
I think the teenagers should be grateful to life even when we are unsuccessful or unlucky．We have many reasons for being grateful．For example, being grateful is a way to communicate with adults．And it is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope．
If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, we’ll lead a better and more beautiful life．So remember, being grateful forever．

A Korean(韩国的)wave is sweeping across China.Many Chinese womenthinkSouth Korean actorsKim Soo-hyun(金秀贤)andLee Min-ho(李敏镐)are theirdemigods(男神). Chinesepeoplehavedifferent ideas about South Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt thatmanypeople in China are interested in Korean TV dramas. And a big part of the credit(功劳)for that goes toYou Who Came From The Star《来自星星的你》,the South Korean TV series which is on the air now.
In You Who Came From The Star ,the top South Korean actorsJun Ji-hyun(全智贤)andKim Soo-hyunrecently earned a popularity rating(收视率)of 24.8 percent in their country.You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs(继承者们)havebeen subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia.
The two TV programs have several common elements(元素): a tall, handsome, and rich hero who lovesa womanand always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programsrepresentthe purity of love. Perhaps that’s the secret of their success; perhaps people stillloveCinderella-type(灰姑娘型的)stories.
However, Chinese TV screens arefull ofpoorly made soap operas(肥皂剧). Most of the Chinese TV dramas eitherdescribethe War against Japaneseor blindly copy foreign programs. There are too manyTV series on time travel or fights inthe palace ofQingDynasty(清朝1644-1911). These, in short,do harm toChinese TV productions.
Hopefully, the success of South Korean TV programs willencourageChinese TV drama makers to thinkofnew ideas andgive uptheir bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home, and possibly abroad.

Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners, but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.
Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.
Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memory can be improved. If you just accept that, the following will show you how.
First, relax. If you are over worried about something, you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won’t remember things. When you forget something, don’t follow up with saying like “Oh, my god! I always forget things! ” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.
But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for chances to exercise your memory. For example, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of new words.
If you don’t take notice of things actively, you won’t remember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.The first two paragraphs just tell us ________.
| A．examples of memory problems |

Sarah ran in, shouting, “Look at what I found!” Over the top of the paper I was reading came a terrible thing that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin found in our garden.
“Isn’t it beautiful?” said my seven-year-old daughter.
I opened my eyes widely and looked at the snake skin in fear. I didn’t think it was beautiful, but I learned never to appear nonchalant(冷漠的) with children. Everything they see for the first time is important to their sense of beauty; they see only excellence in the world.
“Why does it do this?” Sarah asked.
“Snakes shed(蜕) their skins because they need to renew themselves,” I explained. “Why do they need torenew themselves?” Sarah asked.
“We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with,” I said to my daughter. “We leave some things and find other things unwanted or unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too little for him, and he probably doesn’t think he looks as smart in it as he once did.”
As we talked, I knew that she began to understand. Although she couldn’t understand clearly, she would know that renewal is kind of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and spirit, and see what we need to keep and what we need to leave. I was careful to tell that this is a natural way, not one to be made to do.
“Snakes don’t peel off their skins when they like them.” I explained. “It happens as a natural thing of their growth.”
“I see, Dad,” said Sarah as she held the snake skin, and then ran off.
I hoped she would remember this; we need to throw some away because they are worthless or unnecessary. Then we can store them as memories in our deep hearts. Father jumped up when her daughter came to him with a snake skin because ＿＿＿＿.
| A．he didn’t want to read any more | B．he was very afraid of it |
| C．he wanted to praised her daughter | D．he hated snakes |
Father’s patient explanation shows that ＿＿＿＿.
| A．his daughter didn’t want to listen to him at all |
| B．he knew children saw only excellence in the world |
| C．his daughter couldn’t follow him at all |
| D．he wanted to teach everything to her |
We learn from the reading that＿＿＿＿.
| A．the girl seemed to understand what her father said |
| B．the girl wasn’t interested in the explanation |
| C．the father was good at keeping snakes |
| D．the father liked the snake skin better |
