    When Justin Tong was a child, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him doing lots of housework such as carrying out the rubbish and sending newspapers. But when he grew up, he was better off than his childhood friends and lived a happier and healthier life.

This is the finding of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 children in London. It showed that the children who had worked hard in childhood had a richer and a happier future. "Children who worked in the home or community gained competence(能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society," said Daniel Brown, the psychologist(心理学家) who made the discovery. "And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them."

Brown's study followed these children in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Brown, the researchers compared the children's mental-health scores with their childhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.

    Working at any age is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence — the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this.

    Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, "One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work."

(1)、What do we know about Justin Tong?
A、He enjoyed a happy life. B、He felt sorry for the other kids. C、He always sold newspapers. D、He seldom collected rubbish.
(2)、Who will probably succeed in the future according to Paragraph 2?
A、Children who enjoy happier and richer lives. B、Children who work in the home or community. C、Children who take part in Daniel Brown's study. D、Children who feel good about people around them.
(3)、How did Brown follow the children in his study?
A、By giving housework and praise. B、By interviewing and giving scores. C、By setting goals and showing love. D、By solving problems and testing them.
(4)、What's the purpose of the passage?
A、To talk about an interesting study. B、To introduce Justin Tong's success. C、To tell us about childhood activities. D、To encourage children to work hard.

 In small towns, people are used to saying hello to their neighbors in stores, on the streets and in front of their homes. In today's city life, people may feel uncomfortable talking to neighbors they do not know well in line at the supermarket. But greeting your neighbors is actually good for you, especially if you say hello to six people, according to a recent survey.

 Saying hello to people increases well- being(幸福), but six is the magic number. The well- being score increases from zero to six and then there are no further increases. These results are part of the Gallup National Health and Well- Being Index which studies overall well- being and is calculated on a scale of (在……范围内)0 to 100. The survey was carried out from May 30th to June 6th, 2023 and was based on the answers from 4,556 Americans. It covered social well- being, physical well- being, community well- being and more. People who said they didn't say hello to anyone in their neighborhood scored a 51.5. People who greeted six neighbors had a score of 64.1.

 You might think that saying hello to neighbors is only about social well- being, but that actually isn't the case. In fact, regular(经常的) greetings also improve a person's physical well- being and community well-being.      ▲      You will be more likely to speak to people if you think your community is safe. Your physical well- being can improve if you are getting out and walking around your neighborhood.

" We don't require that you know the person well; just stop and talk to him," said Dan Witters, the survey's director." But the more people to whom you say hello, the greater the probability is that you' re actually going to start a conversation with them."

 While this is just a survey for now, saying hello on a regular basis is a good way to improve your own well- being.

That May, I decided to plan something special for my third-grade children on Mother's Day.

I asked the students to talk about how to1 our mothers. We practiced singing songs and giving gifts2 Mother's Day. I felt very3 when I learned that every mother would come. I4 invited my own mother.

The big day finally arrived. Each child lined up at our classroom door,5 the arrival (到达) of his or her mom. As it got closer to the starting time, Jimmy looked so6 because his mother hadn't arrived yet.

I walked over to him. "Jimmy," I said, "Could you keep my mother company (陪伴)? You know, I'm a little7 ."

Jimmy said "Yes." He sent her the8 I'd made just like we'd practiced the day before. They were having a good9 when I looked over. I was very happy the activity10 with a big success.

Three years later, I took my six-grade students out for a field trip.11 them was Jimmy. The day before, I'd asked all of them to write down what they planned to do in in their12 . After we returned to school, I collected their notebooks and checked if13 finished it.

When I came to Jimmy's page, he'd written,"Do you remember our Mother's Day in the14 grade, Mrs. Mara? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your15 , too."

Later when Jimmy came to get his notebook, I told him. "In fact, I want to say thanks because you made my mother's day."

 One night in July at an all-girls summer camp, the students sat around a fire and talked with each other. Their teacher asked if any of the girls wanted to1 something. It could be anything that happened that day and what they     2 it. One girl put up her hand. She said that another girl said something bad to her and it hurt her     3 . For that, she felt quite sad about it. The teacher went into the4 , and carried a tube of toothpaste(牙膏) when she walked out     5 the door. Then she held the tube     6 in the air so that every student could see7 . She squeezed(挤) a bit so some toothpaste came out. She then tried to put the toothpaste back in the tube, 8 she couldn't make it. It just made a mess(脏乱). She squeezed the tube even more, 9 more toothpaste and making even more of a mess. 10 of the toothpaste would go back into the tube. 

11 , the teacher then told the students, "This toothpaste is just like the12 you say. When you say something bad, it's13 to take it back. It only makes a mess. 14 before you speak and make sure something you say are15 before you let them out. We should always be careful with what we say. "

 Remember: something you say can be a soothing medicine or a sharp knife.
