任务型阅读

    Sometimes the world may feel like an unhappy place. However, you can make a difference. If you make even a person smile today, you can help make this world a better place. Here is a list of ideas to help you.

Send a handwritten letter

    In this age where everything is sent by email, it is a shock to receive a letter through the post. Writing a few words on paper to a friend is an easy way to make one smile. Even a postcard with a couple of sentences could really make someone's day- all for the price of a stamp!

Volunteer

    Volunteering is one of the nicest things you can do. It requires (需要 ) some time and research to find the perfect project before volunteering. Whether you volunteer at your local youth group or take dogs from the shelters for a walk, the simple fact that you are giving up your time to help someone else is unbelievable. There are so many chances, so you are sure to find one that is right for you. And it doesn't necessarily have to take up all your time-it could be once a week or a couple of times a year.

Make something for a special person

    Whether you're creative or not, taking time to make something for someone else M shows how much you appreciate (感激 ) them. Even if you think you are not creative, the receiver will feel lucky to get such a special gift that you put your time into. Some ideas could include a card, painting, drawing, song, poem or cake!

Tell someone "I love you"

    It can be anyone-a family member or a friend. You don't even have to say "I love you". Perhaps you can tell a friend that you appreciate all they are to you, or remind your mum that you love her. Sometimes, in our busy lives, we forget to take a moment to tell people what they mean to us.

(1)、Is writing a few words on paper an easy way to make a friend smile?
(2)、What does it require to find the perfect project before volunteering?
(3)、How will the receiver feel to get a special gift?
(4)、What do we sometimes forget to do in our busy lives?
(5)、What is the passage mainly about?

    TFK Kid Reporter Dahlia Suiter spoke with the writer of Writer to Writer: From Think to Ink.

    You just said that you didn't think you'd become a writer. Why?

    I didn't know what I would be. There were times when I wanted to be a scientist. I loved reading about biology.

    ①{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    I never thought about writing stories for adults (成年人). It was always for children because when I was a child, books were so important to me.

    ②{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    Revision(修改) is my favorite part. If I can add (增加) something surprising at the same time, I'm happy about that, too.

    ③{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    Writing is hard, and if you're not having fun with it, why do it? "Save ( 保存) what you write" is very important because you may need it. You may need that part you cut.

    ④{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    I hope the book will open up new places to go with writing.

    ⑤{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    Yes. Writing can be a good way to discover (发现) yourself. You learn about yourself when you write. Writing also slows your thinking down, and you can make discoveries and go places that you don't expect.

A. Do you think it's very important for kids to practice writing?

B. What do you hope kids will learn from Writer to Writer?

C. Why did you write "Have fun, and save what you write!" at the end of each part in Writer to Writer?

D. What do you enjoy most about writing?

E. Why do you write children's books?

    Today more and more students like going shopping on the Internet. Do you have any ideas about it? Here are four girls' ideas.

    Kitty, thirteen

    I think it is very easy and cheap to buy things on the Internet. I only need to stay at home and choose the things I like. I can get them quickly without going out. It doesn't take too much time.

    I'm not good at computers. I never do the shopping on the Internet. I don't think it is interesting. When l want something, I ask my parents to buy it for me in the shopping mall.

下面文章中有五处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. It's not a big deal even if you lose.

B. Start the things you want to do right now.

C. It always takes time to be a winner.

D. You can always learn something when trying.

E. Don't worry! It'll probably never happen.

F. Don't compare yourself with others.

    I'm forty now. I left school twenty-two years ago. Here's my list of five things I hope to share with you teenagers at school.

{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    I always wanted to be the best, and one way of feeling good about myself was to see how much better I was than others. There was only one problem with this. When I saw they were better than me, I felt terrible. Now I compare me with myself. I ask myself if I do things as well as I could.

{#blank#}2{#/blank#}

    How much time do you spend worrying about the future? I used to worry a lot. Now I know most things you fear will usually never happen. They're just monsters in your own mind. Even if they happen, they will often not be as bad as you expected. In six months, you probably won't remember most of the things you worry about now.

{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

    When I was young, I often failed to start things I expected to do because I thought they'd taken too long to finish. I always wanted to write a book, for example. But when I thought it might take me more than a year, I lost my enthusiasm(热情). It seemed such a long time. Now I know a year is nothing, if I'd started that book when I was 16, I might have written 10 more by now. I'm upset with myself for not even trying.

{#blank#}4{#/blank#}

    As a young child you try many new things. If you fail, you try again and again until you learn. But at school you are usually encouraged to do things right. Then you stop trying new things in case you get them wrong. You are losing chances to challenge yourselves. I always remind myself: I had fallen off the bike many times before I learned to ride it.

{#blank#}5{#/blank#}

    I hated losing when I was younger. Of course, it's nice to win sometimes and to be the best at something. But we can't all be winners all the time. Learning to lose is one of life's most important lessons. If you try your hardest, then you should never be angry with yourself.
