阅读理解

Thanksgiving Day was near. A first grade teacher gave her class a fun task--to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.

Most of the students didn't come from rich families, but many would still celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional customs (习俗). These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of the students' art. And they were, for the most part.

But one student named Douglas drew a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was often sad. While other children would play with each other during break time, he would stand closely by his teacher's side. There was pain behind his sad eyes. But what was it? One could only guess.

Yes, his picture was different. He drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand.

Other children started to guess whose hand it could be. One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because police keep people safe. And so the discussion went on.

Finally the teacher walked over to Douglas' desk, bent down and asked him whose hand it was.

The little boy looked away and said, "It's yours, teacher."

She recalled (回想起) the times when she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, and times when shed said things like "Take my hand Douglas, we'll go outside" or "Let me show you how to hold your pencil."

Douglas was most thankful for his teacher's hand.

(1)、The teacher started this task to       .
A、see which students were from rich families. B、help students remember to be thankful. C、find out which students were good at drawing. D、show that some traditions are out of date.
(2)、What do we know about the boy        .
A、Nobody wanted to be his friend B、The teacher didn't let him play C、There were problems with his eyes D、Nobody knew why he was sad
(3)、What did the boy draw?
A、A turkey B、A farmer C、A police officer D、An empty hand
(4)、With his picture, the boy tried to        .
A、show that he had a talent for drawing B、show that he liked Thanksgiving C、express his thanks for his teacher D、help the teacher set up a discussion
举一反三

Have you ever done something that made you embarrassed (尴尬的)? No one likes this feeling, but learning to deal with embarrassment can make you feel more confident.

What is embarrassment?

Embarrassment might make you laugh, cry and want to hide under your bed forever. Falling over in a shop or accidentally calling your teacher"Mom" might feel like the end of the world. But everyone gets embarrassed sometimes. We all react (反应) differently, and what feels embarrassed and uncomfortable to one person might be easily laughed off by another. Childline, a charity that supports young people, says,"Whatever you're feeling embarrassed about, remember that it's natural to feel this way."

Why do we feel embarrassed?

Scientists believe embarrassment is a way of teaching us not to repeat mistakes. You're more likely to feel embarrassed when you worry too much about what other people think of you. Even if you think everyone saw you with strawberry jam on your face, studies show that fewer people notice than you think.

How do we deal with embarrassment?

If something isn't very serious, try making a joke out of it."Laughter can show people (and yourself) that it isn't something to worry about," Childline says. If you are feeling embarrassed, other people may not have even noticed, so try acting like it's no big deal or take no notice of what happened. Sometimes we're embarrassed about the way we've behaved towards others. In that case, try saying how sorry you are and that you regret what happened."Telling someone can be the first step to move on," says Childline.

 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

 It's quite natural for us to make mistakes. However, if you make the same mistake for three times or even more, you' re too silly to be forgiven. How do you avoid(避免) making the same mistake again in daily study? I think keeping an error(错误) correction book after class is a good way. Mistakes must be corrected in the students' learning. Correcting is more valuable over the long term, especially for middle school students. An error correction book can help you in these ways.

 Pay attention to your mistakes in time. When correcting mistakes, students will think seriously and improve from correcting mistakes. Always looking ever your own error correction book can make up for your knowledge gaps.

Develop good studying habits. The reasons why students make mistakes are as follows: They don't fully understand what they have learned; They don't remember what they should remember; They are too careless.

 To find out the reasons for the mistakes, students will avoid the above points. And then they won't repeat them. Gradually, they will develop the good habits of listening carefully, remembering things and overcoming problems.

 Provide the helpful basis for the final review. The error correction book can become one of the most useful tools. It can help students to avoid making similar mistakes in the exam. The error correction book is valuable for every student.
