Dear Seth,
You’re only three years old, and at this point in your life you can’t read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter. But someday, when you’re ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.
Life can be cruelThey’ll tease you or try to hurt you because you’re different.
There’s not much you can do except learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you and who make you feel good about yourself. When you find friends like this, treasure them, spend time with them and love them.
Be open to life anyway
Yes, you’ll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through life, but don’t let that close you to new things. Don’t retreat from life, don’t hide or wall yourself off.
Life isn’t a competition
You will meet many people who will try to do better than you, in school , in college, at work. To them, life is a competition.
But here’s the secret: life isn’t a competition.Learn to enjoy the journey and make it a journey of happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love.
If there’s a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: love. It might sound corny, I know, but trust me, there’s no better rule in life.
Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors, your co-workers, strangers, your brothers and sisters in humanity. And most of all, love yourself and learn to love yourself for who you are. You are starting out on an unknown, tiring, scary, but ultimately incredibly wonderful journey, and always remember I will be there for you when I can.
Love,
Your Dad

Watching a sporting event with family and friends under the sun is a great experience in summer. In the United States, heat exposure led to 8,000 deaths between 1979 and 2003. Luckily, a little prevention can go a long way towards making sure of an enjoyable day.
Know the danger
Heat-related illnesses do not require record-breaking temperatures to occur. The body’s temperature can reach 106 or 107 degrees Fahrenheit on a 90-degree day, creating a potentially deadly situation. Factors such as age, weight or a medical condition can influence people.
Drink plenty of waterSweating is your body’s key way to keep cool, so drink water to stay well hydrated(含水的) before you feel thirsty. A cool beer may sound perfect on a hot day, but drink responsibly. Alcohol stops the body’s cooling system and causes you to go to the bathroom frequently.
Wear light-colored and loosely fitting clothing, so air can go around your body and help keep you cool. A hat is a must to help you keep cool, since your head contains many blood vessels(血管)， and sun block(防晒乳) is always a good idea.
Take action
What should you do if you are suffering from the heat while watching your favorite event?
Get up and go. It is a simple piece of advice, but could make the difference between a quick recovery and something more severe that requires medical attention. The ideal thing is to move yourself from the position you’re in to an area that is a little cooler.
| A．Weather-related causes |
| B．Dress for the occasion |
| C．In hot weather, it is essential to stay hydrated. |
| D．You may miss a little of the action, but it beats missing a lot. |
E. It is also important to take advantage of services the equipment provides.
F. But when you add sun exposure to the crowds, the results can be deadly.
G. Temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit can be dangerous.
根据短文内容，从下面的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。
A. Review（复习）regularly
B. Make good use of class time
C. Find a good place to study
D. Plan your time carefully
E. Scan浏览） before you read
F. Take notes in class
Maybe you are an average student with an average intelligent. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so. Anyone can become a better scholar if he or she wants to be. The following suggestions may be helpful to you:
When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. Be sure to set aside（抽出） enough time to complete the work that you are normally assigned each week. Of course, studying shouldn't occupy all of your free time. Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment, hobbies and relaxation.
Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything, but study materials. No radio or television! When you sit to work, concentrate on the subject!
This means looking a passage over quickly but thoroughly before you begin to read it more carefully. Scanning a passage lets you preview the material and get a general idea of the content. Scanning will help you double your reading speed and improve your comprehension.
Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.
When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you do it regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of test is to show what you have learned about a subject. Tests do more than just provide grades; they let you know what you need to study more, and they help to make your new knowledge permanent.
阅读下面的短文并从方框中的 A-F 中为每段文字选出最佳标题。其中有一项选择是多余的。（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
A. Take some time to speak English
B. Join an English club
C. Have a mirror on the wall
D. Keep it short and simple
E. Listen to good English speakers
F. Practice with peers or family
Here are some tips to improve your spoken English.
Whatever you have learnt or read in a day, practice in front of the mirror. For a start, you can read something from newspapers, English magazines, and books. Take a passage and read it aloud. After you think your accent has improved, try reciting a poem in front of the mirror. This will increase your confidence as well.
Talk to your family members and friends in English. You can also organize debates and speeches on a low level, where everyone in your family or friend circle speaks on one topic for a few minutes. It will help you get over the fear of making mistakes, as you will be with your friends and family—your comfort zone.
Listen to people who you think are good English speakers. It will help you catch the skill better. You can also watch their videos, listen to them online, or even in person. It can be anyone from Barack Obama to your teacher in school. Find every opportunity to speak English.
You will meet people like you there and it will help you realize that you are not the only person who isn’t good at this subject. Also meeting different people will help you overcome your complex. You can also join coaching classes, which will provide you professional help in learning spoken English.
Nothing is more beautiful than simplicity. So, instead of using an ambiguous(含糊不清的) language with tough words, go for simple words. Learning any new language is difficult and English is no exception. Start simple and go with the flow. With time, you would learn bigger words too.
How to Teach a Child Respect
As a child grows out of being an infant（婴儿）and begins to notice and react to the world around them, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly pass all of the things that they need to become a responsible, respectful adult. A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others in kind, but learns to respect himself as well.
Instructions
★1 Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving her your full attention and she will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in relationships.
★2 The more you say "please" and "thank you" to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.
★3 Agree to disagree.Explain your decision so that she will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you aren’t equal to disobedience.
★4 Control your impulse to overreact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior.
★5 Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments are not celebrated enough.
| A．Teach manners by using polite requests and responses. |
| B．Try to remember that a child won’t always agree with you. |
| C．Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life. |
| D．If he sees you lose your temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future. |
E．A child may act like he pleases, but will respect being given limits.
F．When you see you child exhibit respectful behavior, make sure he knows just how proud you are of him.
G．Signs such as sudden poor performance in school, behaviors like fears and threats accompany behavior problems in children.
