Make a Difference Day

 Have you ever heard of Make a Difference Day? It is a day of helping others and started in the US in the 1990s. It happens on the fourth Saturday in October, and this year it falls on 26th

October. . You don't need to spend lots of time or money. It's just doing something to help make someone's life a little better.

 . Cooking a meal or cleaning your room can make a difference at home. At school, you can be kind to someone on the playground or help your classmates with their homework. You can also make a difference for your neighbourhood by giving away your unwanted books, clothes or toys or taking part in a litter pick.

" Last year in primary school, I helped out in a Grade One class every week. I helped the pupils with their work and read with them. This gave them one- on- one help, and made them more confident talking to older kids. I felt happy helping them learn." said Rapha, an 11- year- old boy.

 Maria Evans, a middle school teacher, said it was important to do something nice for another person because it could make the kindness pass from one person to another." The things you did show people that they matter. You may get closer to others. ."

 When you do something nice for someone else, you are showing yourself that you can make a positive change for others. You feel able to make a real difference. It is important when life sometimes seems difficult.

 You might think making a difference is just about helping others. . You can meet new people and build up friendships. It's a good way to let you believe in yourself because it lets you know that you are important and able to change.

任务 A: 阅读以下材料, 然后从下面方框中所给的 A、B、C、D、E选项中选择最佳答案 (其中一项为多余选项) 。

B. Your kindness might encourage them help others too.

C. It helps you face difficulties bravely and deal with them actively.

D. The idea behind it is to ask people to do something good for others.

E. There are many wave you can make a difference to people you know or even strangers.

We all know that being kind can help people in need, but do you know that kindness can also help yourself? 

According to National Public Radio, the Big Joy Project began in 2021. It spreads the message that people can find happiness in difficult times and use it to do good. 

The project was open to anyone. More than 70, 000 people from over 200 countries took part in it. All had to take an online survey answering questions about their feelings. Then, they needed to do a small thing every day, such as visiting an elderly neighbor or buying a cup of coffee for a stranger. Finally, they had to take the other survey to compare their feelings before and after.

The results were announced on November 11, 2023. "We are really excited. Aner the project, there are big changes, including greater happiness, less stress, better sleep, stronger problem-solving abilities, and greater satisfaction with relationships," said Emiliana Simon-Thomas, the leader of the Big Joy Project. 

"Think of happiness as a skill that you can get through practice, instead of seeing it as something that happens to you. This may make sense, "added Emiliana. 

Will the changes brought about by doing good last long or disappear soon? The question is not yet answerable. But one thing is certain—doing one good thing can lead to other good things. That's why small acts of kindness can go a long way. 

 阅读短文, 从每小题所给的四个选项中, 选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。

Recently, researchers have found that dolphins know their own names much like people. Dolphins talk to one another with whistles (口哨) and calls. Scientists have known that the animals also use unusual whistles to name each other. They had thought that dolphins only heard each other's voices. However, the scientists didn't know that dolphins listen for their names too.

To test this idea, the researchers caught 14 dolphins and recorded their name calls. The scientists then copied each dolphin's voice. When the changed recordings were played, the dolphins replied strongly to the names of their relatives and group members. They paid no attention to the names of dolphins they did not know.

Dolphins live in large groups that grow and change. Each dolphin's unusual whistle helps it quickly find a friend or a family member, or call for help. Understanding their calls requires learning. It's a skill that's seen in very few animals, which include humans and elephants.

Elephants, for example, communicate with sound. Their sounds can be heard by other elephants miles away. Dolphins, too, communicate with each other by making sounds like this. Elephants also communicate by moving their head, feet and trunk (象鼻). In much the same way, dolphins communicate by their movements. They often touch each other to express friendship.

Unlike dolphins, elephants also communicate by their great sense of smell. They can recognize other elephants by the smells they have.

Why do dolphins and elephants share the gift of communication? Scientists think it may be because they are social and smart animals. Both have strong family relationship. Now, whether they also have nicknames(绰号) is another question!
