One midnight(午夜), a little girl woke up (醒来)to pass water. She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared(害怕).
Her mother said, “Don’t be afraid, honey. Take courage(勇敢些)!”
“What’s courage(勇气)?” she asked, running to her mother’s bed.
“Courage is the brave(勇敢的) breath(呼吸),” her mother answered.
“Mum, do you have courage?”
“Certainly.”
The girl held out(伸出) her little hands, saying, “Mum, blow(吹) some of your breath of courage to me.”
After her mother blew out two mouthfuls(口) of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists(握拳) nervously(紧张地), afraid that the “breath of courage” would run away(跑掉). Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.
Her mother said to herself, “It will be nice if someone can blow some kinds of ‘breath’ to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost.”

阅读短文,根据意思,判断所给句子的正误。正确的写T,错误的写F。
“How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the U.S.A greet(问候) each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual(不寻常的) question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks“ How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply (只)other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.
Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly(确切) what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong...”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly(强烈地), so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.
People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people.For example, many talks on the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up(挂)says: “Someone’s at the door.” “Something is burning (烧)on the stove(炉).” The excuses(借口) might be real(真的), or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt (伤)the other person.
Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, of finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly that they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language.“How are you?” is another way of saying "Hello." or" Hi."
It is polite to say" No. I disagree. I think you are wrong, "if you don’t agree with others.
When someone says "I have to go now "On the phone,it means he wants to go on talking.
"Someone is at the door." may be an excuse for finishing a talk.
Sometimes people don't say exactly what they are thinking about just because they try to be nice to each other.
Do you know 3D movies? When you see one, it’s like the story is happening in front of you, and you are a part of it. 3D movies are amazing to watch, but do you know how to make them, and why you need to wear a pair of 3D glasses? To understand these questions, let’s do an easy experiment.
Put a finger in front of your eyes.
Cover your left eye and look at the finger.
Cover your right eye and look at the finger.
What do you see? The finger you see with your left eye is in a different position from the one you see with your right eye. This means you get two images(图像) when you look at something with both your eyes. To make a 3D movie, people have to get two images at the same time, so they use two video cameras. When playing a 3D movie, they use two projectors(放映机) at the same time. This brings two images together on the screen. Then, we use 3D glasses to separate(分离) the two images(1). One image enters one eye and the other image enters the other eye.
Then our brains put the two images together. This way, we get 3D pictures(2).判断正误(“T”表示正确,“F”表示错误)You are a part of the story when you see 3D movies.

New rules and behaviour standards (行为规范) for middle school students have come out. The middle school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won’t only have high marks. They will also be kids who don’t smoke, drink or dye (染) their hair. The following are some of the new rules.
Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else’s work on an exam? Don’t do it again! That’s not something that an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don’t tell your parents you have done homework.
Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird Loving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate it? You should join! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it is more fun for everyone.
Have you fought with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others, not only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you’ll discover Earth II someday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyone’s ideas are important. You should welcome them because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don’t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren’t good for kids, do try to look at Web pages that aren’t good for you. You can use the Web for fun or homework. Can’t you find any good Web sites for children?
