Most people learn the importance of the magic words "please" and ""thank you" at a very early age. As you go through life, you see better things happen when you don't forget to say them, and that people warm up to you more quickly.

Please. This is one of those words that can show good manners. Any time you ask for something, it's always a good idea to add this word to soften the request.

. When someone does something nice for you or gives you a gift, you should always say, "Thank you," even if it's something you dislike. Not doing so gives the impression that you feel entitled (有资格的) to whatever it is.

May I ...? For example, when you say, "May I see that book?"" you give the persona chance to share what he is looking at.

Excuse me. This expression is used .when you are asking forgiveness (原谅) for leaving the table, coughing, or troubling somebody.

Pardon me. The expression "Pardon me" sounds more formal(正式的).

A. So it's a good way to do so.

B. This expression can be exchanged with "Excuse me".

C. Speaking to others politely won't make others unhappy.'

D. Here are some of the most common expressions.

E. People will treat you in the same way.

F. Thank you.

You probably don't think about soil often, but the following report may help you learn about science of soil.

What is soil made of?

Soil is made of sediments (沉积物) and humus(腐殖质). Sediment is small pieces of rock broken down over time by rain, ice, and wind. Sediment is often found in water. Humus comes from decayed(腐烂的) plants and animals. It helps give plants a lot of the food they need to grow.

How does soil form?

Over centuries, rock breaks down into very small pieces.

The rock pieces mix with humus.

The humus gets thicker and thicker over time. Soil is formed(形成)l

How are soils different?

Soils can be different colors and have different textures(质感). Texture is how the surface of an object feels. Color and texture are two features(特征) of soil.

Plants and soil

Plants do not grow well in some soils. Sandy soi1 is too dry. It does not hold water. Soil with too much clay is too thick. Most plants grow well in dark, rich garden soil that has different sediments and a lot of humus in it.

 Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.

Tigers are fierce animals. They are the bosses of the Asian jungles with their cleverness,quickness and strength. A pussycat,on the other hand

As a mother,the Chinese﹣American writer Amy Chua is definitely a tiger. Her book,Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother (虎妈战歌) tells of the strict upbringing she gave her two children. She thinks that being  strict is the only way to d {#blank#}1{#/blank#} a child's potential and to make them strong,i{#blank#}2{#/blank#} and successful. Her kids were not allowed to watch TV or play video games. They were not allowed to "hang out" with other kids after school. They had to be the top students in their classes. And they had to p{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the piano and violin for hours every day. As a result,her kids became successful. She admits this caused a lot of tears and anger but she has few regrets (后悔). 

Chua says,like her,most A{#blank#}4{#/blank#} mothers are tigers because they believe their children can a{#blank#}5{#/blank#} a lot if they're pushed hard enough. She says American mothers are really cats. They care more about their children's self﹣esteem (自尊). They don't want to push their kids too hard for fear of hurting their feelings. W{#blank#}6{#/blank#} soft words and understanding,they encourage their children to find their own path. 

So,is a tiger mom better than a pussycat? Perhaps it depends on the differences between Asian and Western cultures. It may also depend on the child himself. Some kids need to be pushed w{#blank#}7{#/blank#} others respond to a gentler hand. 

To growl or to purr? There is no easy answer. 

阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入一个适当的词, 或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。

 Creativity is the key to a bright future. Here is how schools and parents can help their children to develop their creativity.

 Drew worked for a company in 1925. At work, he invented a kind of material strong enough {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(hold) things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Drew didn't stop and finally, using his own time, made a kind of tape, which {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(use) now everywhere by many people. And his former(之前的) company learned from {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(it) mistakes. Now the company asked its workers to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(develop) new ideas.

 Creativity is not something one is born with. A person {#blank#}5{#/blank#} high intelligence(智力) does not mean that he uses it. Creativity is the matter of using your intelligence to creatively think of new ideas {#blank#}6{#/blank#} are good for something.

 Children from many schools can give correct answers, but they are unable to use them to work out problems. It is important to give children {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(choose). From the earliest age, children should learn to make decisions and understand their results. As children grow {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(old), parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, {#blank#}9{#/blank#} not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have {#blank#}10{#/blank#} hard time, but that is all right.
