Vesuvius, Italy Obviously the most famous volcano in the world, Vesuvius is considered currently dormant(休眠的), but that doesn't mean that it won't erupt at some point.Visiting Vesuvius is more about Mount Vesuvius's past, particularly the destruction of Pompeii in A.D. 79. Though the volcano.seems harmless, the destruction of Pompeii was during a dormant phase of Vesuvius as well. Elevation(海拔): 4,203ft White Island, New Zealand Making headlines recently for an eruption that killed at least five people, White Island, which is uninhabited, is usually a popular tourist attraction.

One day I stopped to think about growing apples. I was eating a delicious, juicy apple and took a big bite. As a result, I got an apple seed into my mouth. I spat it out into my hand, with the intention of throwing it away. But instead I looked at the apple seed. I realized I was holding an apple tree in the palm of my hand. A little seed with the potential to become a beautiful big tree-a tree that could grow thousands of apples in its lifetime. Why then the world wasn't filled with apple trees? It is a rule of nature that only a few of these seeds grow. And it came to my mind that it's also quite often so with people's dreams. Wonderful ideas come to our minds but they die too soon-we don't tend to the little saplings, we don't protect them as we should. And then one day we wonder what happened to our dreams-why did they never come true? The seeds of your dreams did not automatically grow, like planting an apple tree. It might take many tries: like a hundred job applications to get that good job. You might send your manuscript out two hundred times before it was accepted. Some people think their best time in life is when they are young. I refuse to believe that. There are plenty of examples out there that prove you can achieve amazing things even in your mature years. I love the little story of a woman who decided she wanted to go and study when she was in her forties. Her husband asked her.”Do you realize that if you start your studies now, you will be fifty when you graduate?" To which this admirable lady replied:“Darling-l shall be fifty in any case". So go ahead and follow your dreams. No matter what they are, no matter what your age, and no matter what others think of it. It's your life after all. 【1】How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A.By giving a classic example. B.By telling us a natural phenomenon. C.By asking and answering a question D.By describing a personal experience. 【2】Which of the following is true according to the author? A.Wonderful ideas will not die easily. B.The seeds of our dreams grow naturally. C.Our dreams will not come true without tries. D.We never know what will happen to our dreams. 【3】What does the author tell the story of the woman to show? A.People will grow old anyway. B.It's never late to achieve things. C.It's better to start doing things early. D.We should not care what others think of us. 【4】What is the author's purpose of writing the text? A.To describe how our dreams are ruined. B.To treat apple seeds like our dreams. C.To encourage us to pursue our dreams. D.To explain the process of growing apple trees. |

As a children’s author, I don’t just write books. I build bridges. I carefully construct each of my stories to connect readers to the story itself, to the characters in the story, and to other readers. My goal is to build kids’ social-emotional learning skills to help improve healthy relationships and prevent peer cruelty. And since October is National Bullying Prevention Month, this is the perfect time to share with you, dear book lovers, how literature can be used as an effective tool to address hurtful behaviors. What I’m describing here is nothing new. For years, children’s literature has been used by advisors, parents, teachers, and librarians to address tough issues kids face in their everyday world.Researchers report that literature, with proper adult guidance and assistance in a safe social setting,can help form viewpoint and empathy (同情) in young readers. And let’s face it: the more empathy and compassion kids have in their hearts, the less room there is for arrogance and contempt (蔑视) of others. I love what Dr. Zipora Schectman, author of Treating Child and Adolescent Aggression Through Bibliotherapy, said in the book: “Through the imaginative process that reading involves, children have the opportunity to do what they often cannot do in real life — become thoroughly involved in the inner lives of others, better understand them, and eventually become more aware of themselves.” Because the social world of today’s children is very complex, I try to include in my stories the wisdom and insights of young readers, so that my books go hand in hand with their life experiences and views. There are also many other wonderful books that generate thoughtful conversations (my website lists my top picks-from pre-school to young adult, both fiction and nonfiction). If you’re looking for ways to tum stories into teachable moments, visit authors’ or publishers’ websites for ready-made lesson plans. With lessons in hand, you’re ready to open the hearts and minds of young readers to new perspectives and possibilities! 【1】Why is it important to teach kids to have empathy and compassion? A.They will help kids address tough issues. B.They will make kids treat others equally. C.They will make kids more optimistic toward life. D.They will make kids form right attitude to life. 【2】What does Dr. Zipora Schectman mainly talk about in his book? A.The influence of literature on children. B.Tough issues children face today. C.The importance of imagination. D.Interaction between children. 【3】In the last paragraph the author intends to . A.ask us to visit his website B.make a summary of his view C.call attention to his books D.recommend more books to us 【4】What’s the specific message the author wants to convey in the text? A.Social-emotional leaming skills are important to children. B.Children can’t go without wonderful books. C.Literature can help to handle emotionally damaging manners. D.Literature can have powerful influence on children. |
