For two weeks, Henriks watched the crews at work in his neighborhood. Then he started to run outside and help. First, he started pulling his family’s carts out. Next, he pulled out all the carts on his street. Then he would run to other areas and help there, too.

Henriks made friends with the recycling team. The men would talk with Henriks, and he would tell them about his day. Kevin Johnson is in charge of recycling. His team told him about Henriks. They looked forward to seeing Henriks each week.

School tests can be stressful. But they might also

encourage you to help change the world. Three girls, Kristen, Jenna and Marisa from New York, learned about a growing problem from a reading test they took. The problem is e-waste, short for electronic waste. The girls learned some dangerous chemicals (化学品)in e-waste can harm the environment and people.

Later in the year, they had to come up with an idea for a science project. They remembered the interesting topic from their test. So the girls started a recycling drive to help other students and the community learn about properly recycling e-waste. They called themselves the E-Waste Girl

“In our town, people recycle paper plastic and glass, but not electronics. What can we do?” asked Marisa.

“How about asking our friends if they know how to recycle e-waste?” suggested Jenna. The girls asked their friends, and nobody had heard anything about it. Many of their teachers didn’t know either. So they taught everyone, including their teachers, to learn about properly recycling e-waste. Then they put recycling boxes in the school hall and asked the students to

学习是件有意思的事

collect old cell phones, radios and other items. When the boxes were full, they sent them to a special recycling center. The recyclers took out the dangerous chemicals and disposed (处理)of them properly, so that they don’t go into the air or the ground or the water.

One big way people can help reduce e-waste is by buying smartly. So the girls strongly suggested considering electronics made with fewer dangerous chemicals and choosing electronics that will last several years.

The girls’ project also helped them become finalists in the We Can Change the World Challenge, a national student competition. The E-Waste Girls see a bright future in which projects like theirs will not be needed any more.

24. How did the E-Waste Girls first learn about e-waste? A. A friend told them about it. B. Recyclers taught them about it. C. They read about it in a reading test. D. A teacher talked about it in a science class. 25. Why did the E-Waste Girls start a recycling drive? A. To set up a recycling center in the town. B. To take part in a national student competition. C. To encourage people to buy electronics smartly. D. To teach people how to properly recycle e-waste. 26. The E-Waste Girls’ story mainly tells us that__________. A. recycling e-waste is really difficult B. students can help to change the world C. students should do more science projects D. competitions bring students a bright future （2021·房山·一模）

There was once a boy called Joseph Webb. He always loved to show off how many friends he had at school. One day his grandfather said to him, “Joseph, I bet (打赌) you a big bag of popcorn that you don't have as many friends as you think. I'm sure many of them are nothing more than companions (同伴).”

Joseph accepted the bet at once. However, he wasn't sure how to test whether his classmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandfather. The old man answered, “Wait a minute.” Then he left and returned soon as if carrying something in his hands, but Joseph could see nothing there.

“Take it. It's a very special chair because it's impossible to be seen. It’s rather difficult to sit on, but if you take it to school and manage to sit on it, you'll start its magic and it'll be able to tell who your real friends are.”

Joseph, brave and determined, set off for school with the strange and invisible(隐形的)chair. At break time he asked everyone to form a circle, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. Having difficulty seeing it, Joseph tried to sit on the chair but he missed the seat and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone around him had a pretty good laugh.

“Wait! Let me try again.\"Joseph said. But again, he missed the seat, causing more surprised looks and a few catcalls. Joseph didn't give up and kept trying to sit on the magic chair. But he kept falling to the ground until suddenly he tried again but didn't fall. Looking around, Joseph saw three of his best friends holding him up. However, many others he had thought of as friends had

done nothing but made fun of him.

And there, the show came to an end. Joseph understood that true friends were those who cared for him, and not just the companion that happened to be passing by. And someone who took joy in his misfortunes(不幸) was not a real friend. 24. Who had a bet with Joseph?

My Dad，a Superhero

学习是件有意思的事

When I was only seven，my family took a road trip to San

Francisco. My father was driving our family car along the highway. The rain was pouring down so heavily that each drop of rain felt as if it were going to break the windshield（挡风玻璃）.

I wasn't scared. The downpour fascinated me. However，my brother，who is only one year younger than me，was annoying me with his unfriendly hits. I tried hard to stop him but failed. I could only complain to Mom and our sister about the fighting in the backseat，but it was useless.

My father，who was driving，knew the way to stop us from fighting. So he said，\"Boys，do you know that I have learned magic？\"

My brother and I stopped immediately. \"What？\"

My father replied，\"Do you want me to show you some magic？\"

I felt so excited that I jumped out of my seat. Even my brother was curious about what Dad was saying. It was every child's dream to have a superhero father.

I have the ability to stop the rain from falling. It's only for short periods of time，so you have to pay close attention，\"he said.

I was speechless. This seemed to be an impossible trick，even for a superhero. I could only stare at him through the rearview mirror（后视镜），wondering if the magic could really stop the rain.

\"Are you ready?\" he asked. \"Yes!\" we both answered.

\"Okay. Let me collect my powers.\" There was a short pause. \"Okay. First, I have to say the magic words ' Abra Cadabra'. Here we go ... Abra Cadabra!\"

And just like that, for one second, the rain stopped! It was a miracle! I was shocked. My dad really was a superhero. How could I not have known? For years, he must have hidden his magical weapons in the garage. I het his old car was just a cover so that the bad guys wouldn't know who he really was.

\"Wow!\" I said to my brother, who seemed to be just as amazed as I was. \"Wow...\"was all he could say, too. Then our car drove under another overpass.

Believe in Yourself

Anita was an active girl who grew up in the eastern of Nepal. Her parents were shepherds. It was that point of the year when the sky was blue, the sun smiled upon the village and so the stars in the dark never looked brighter before. Anita found a lot of tourists visit her village. Watching people all over the world visit her village made Anita curious. “What are these people doing here, father?” asked Anita. Anita’s father laughed and said, “Darling, they have all come to climb those mountains.”

Amazed at their courage, Anita said, “Really, father? Is it possible to climb to the top?” “Of course dear,” replied her father, “Many people do it.”

“Someday, I will be able to climb to the highest of these mountains.” said Anita with a burning dream brewing (酝酿) in her eyes. But life had other plans for her. Anita had a terrible accident when she was thirteen. Unluckily, she lost one leg. Clouds of hopelessness darkened her happy world.

“I will never be ready to climb those mountains!” cried Anita.

Her father loved her dearly. He couldn’t see his little girl in pain. He was extremely sad. But he did not lose heart. He thought over and over and he couldn’t sleep well. Finally, he had a good idea.

One day Anita’s father built her a wooden leg, which she could wear and walk. “Never say ‘never’. Start climbing the mountains.” said the determined father.

We spend hours, days and years of our lives in education. But how perfect do you think your school is? Imagine you could design your ideal school. What would it be like? What would you be doing? We want to find out what teenagers around the world think. Here is what they say :

My name is Wu Lei. I'm from China. My dream school would have an Olympic-size swimming pool, two football fields and a golf course. It would also have a cinema, a gym, a restaurant and a shopping center. My school has none of these and I think there should be more enjoyable things for pupils to do while they are studying. My name is Richard. I am from America. I think it would be great to have a day off every week, as well as the weekend. If that day was a Friday or a Monday, we would have a long weekend every week. What fun! I also think school should start later, at about 10 o’clock, and finish earlier. I'm sure we could learn just as much in fewer hours. D. wore the wooden leg and walked

I'm Yoko. I come from Japan. My dream school would be big and roomy with a laptop for every person in the school. I'd also like to have a music room where we can just go and play instruments when we want. We need a recording studio too. I'm Hannah. I come from Australia. My school environment is great—especially the sports facilities. We've got a swimming pool and tennis courts. It's the teachers Id change.

For many American 10-year-olds, summer is always

a time for goofing around（消磨时光），hanging out with friends，and playing outside until the sun goes down. However, for Liam Hannon, the summer of 2017 was a bit different. That year, Liam did not want to go to summer camp, so he made a deal with his dad to stay busy and active. He joined a program to give back to the community. Specifically, he was given a task to help homeless people.

Liam pointed out to his dad that there were a lot of homeless people just outside their home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. These people were hungry and Liam thought he could do something to lift their spirits. Liam and his dad began making sandwiches. Together, they made 20 lunches that first week, which they then handed out to the homeless people. When the week was over, Liam realized he was not ready to put away his bread knife just yet, so Liam's Lunches of Love was born.

\"No one should be hungry, \"Liam wrote on his GoFundMe page. He created the online page with his father as a way to help raise money for Lunches of Love. Donations that were received through GoFundMe have enabled Liam to buy a better cart（手推车） and make thousands of

additional lunches. Liam also gets help from friends and volunteers to make and deliver the lunches. His friends love drawing pictures and writing encouraging messages on the brown paper bags that the lunches and healthy snacks are packed in. \"I’ve seen people who are feeling really down. But when we hand them a lunch, their faces just light up, \"says Liam.

But he didn't stop there. Liam has another project called Legos（乐高）of Love. People send in their old toys, which are then sorted and given to children who are living at homeles shelters.

One thing is certain∶This now 12-year-old knows how to pay it forward（让爱传播出去）. His Lunches of Love is an example of how even something as simple as a sandwich can change the world.

24. What did Liam Hannon do in the summer holiday of 2017? A. He went to summer camp. B. He hung out with his friends.

C. He helped many homeless people with his father and friends. D. He drew pictures and wrote encouraging messages on the paper bags. 25. How did Liam help the children at homeless shelters? A. By raising money for them. B. By making sandwiches for them. C. By buying old toys for them.

Crazy things that parents say to their kids Do you remember things that your mum and dad said again and again when you were a kid? Julia Of course!

Well, finally something is happening, Kim thought. So far, it had been the most boring summer ever. Suddenly, loud beeps (哔哔声), warning that a truck is backing up, broke the afternoon silence. Kim walked over to the bushes (灌木) that separated her house from the one next door.

I hope the new neighbours are cool, she thought as she looked at the stacks of boxes outside the truck. Let’s see. Lots of boxes! That one says, “Kitchen stuff” and that one says, “Jane’s stuff”. Wow, what a huge TV! Oh, a piano. Hmm. I wonder who Jane is. And look at that, a water bowl with the name Cupcake on it.

Maybe they have a cat, thought Kim. She stepped around the bushes to get a better look. “Here, Cupcake. Come here, girl!” she called. She poured some of her water into the bowl and called again. “Here, Cupcake. Come on out, girl.”

Kim heard something move. A large dog crawled (爬) out from under the truck and then stood up and shook itself. “Well, look at you,” Kim said. “You are not a little girl, are you? But you look so sweet! Are you thirsty? Here, have some water.”

It was after the dog had finished the water and was happily licking (舔) Kim’s hand that she looked up.

“I see you’ve met Cupcake,” said a girl she had never met before. “I’m Jane.”

They had hardly started talking when Kim heard her mum shouting, “Be careful with the dog, Kim. Get over here right now.”

“Mum,” Kim said. “Relax. She’s so friendly and sweet. Her name is Cupcake!” “I don’t care what its name is. Come home now!”

Kim looked at Jane, and then looked down her feet, not sure of what to say next.

“Go ahead,” Jane said. “We can talk later. And maybe you can show me how to get to school.”

“Sure, Jane. I’d like that. And maybe we can take Cupcake for a walk.”

Well, Kim thought as she returned home. Maybe the rest of the summer won’t be boring after all.

The woman looked down, shook her head and said “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, I don't know how I am going to get through the holidays.”

“Practicing? Your mouth is open all the time. And you keep

shouting. We send you to a guitar course but it’s a waste of time and money! Didn’t they give you songs you’re supposed to practice with?”

“Oh, I do play those songs sometimes. They’re really boring though. I play with my heart. It’s a lot more fun that way.”

“It’s disturbing the neighbours. Last night, Mr. Arif from upstairs said you’re your singing sounded as if you had fallen into a pot of boiling water!”

Alper likes writing lyrics(歌词). But he had no music for his words. He couldn’t write music. He bought the guitar because he thought that he only needed to touch the guitar and beautiful music would just come out on its own. But instead it was only practice, practice, practice. Not real music.

His mum’s words really made him upset. He picked up his guitar and went to the park. He played the guitar and started to sing his song on the bench.

At that moment, some young people walked into the park. A boy had a clarinet (单簧管)in his hand and the other boy had a drum. A girl took out her violin. Then they started to play. First the drum, next the clarinet, then the violin. They were all doing their own things. The music didn’t go together. The instruments didn’t go together.

The park was getting more and more crowded with people attracted bythe young group’s music.

Alper slowly walked towards the group of young people. He began to sing the song he had written himself. The one he didn’t know how to compose(作曲).The words fitted the music now!

Field Day

“It’s time for Field Day again,” thought Carly as she started the last week

of school.

Carly was not looking forward to it. “Why does everybody make a big deal out of it?” Carly asked her mom. “Well, it’s supposed to be a fun day and a day to let yourself go,” said Carly’s mom. “I’m not good at any of those games that are played, and I’m afraid the kids are going to laugh at me. Maybe I can stay home and miss Field Day,” said Carly.

Mary was Carly’s closest friend, and they walked to school every day. “Aren’t you excited about Field Day?” Mary asked Carly. “No, I don’t care about such a silly day. No one ever picks me for their team because I’m not good at those games,” answered Carly.

Mary felt bad and she told her mom how unexcited Carly was and wondered what she could do to cheer her friend up. “See if you can get in a game that you know Carly is good at,” suggested Mary’s mom. Mary thought for a moment and said that she knew Carly loved to play horseshoes, and was really good at that game. She was also good at the water balloon toss (投掷) too.

Field Day finally arrived. Mary came by Carly’s house for their daily walk to school. Carly was very quiet on the way to school. “I hear they are going to have horseshoes this year and also a water balloon game,” Mary said. “Really? I love horseshoes, and I am pretty good at catching those water balloons,” said Carly. Suddenly, Carly felt more excited about going to school and starting Field Day than she had ever been.

The games began, and Carly had the best Field Day ever! Her team won first place in the water balloon toss thanks to her, and she got a ribbon (绶带) for second place in horseshoes. “What a great day!” Carly said to Mary.

For most people, graduation (毕业) is an exciting day, but my graduation

day was not.

I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had traveled from across the country to watch our class walk across that stage. But like everyone else in my graduating class, I had watched the economy (经济) turn from bad to worse in my fourth year of university. We graduates had degrees, but very few job opportunities. I knew that the next day I would no longer have a place to call home.

I knew my small university town couldn't offer me any opportunities, so I drove to Southern California to find work. But what I thought would take a week lasted for two weeks, and then four weeks, and I found myself in the same place I was in before.

You know that feeling when you wake up and you are full of fear? Fear about something you can't control. You hope that everything that has happened to you so far is just a bad dream.

So what did I do to stay calm (沉着的、冷静的)? I wrote. Something about

putting words on the page made everything seem a little clearer, a little brighter. Something about writing gave me hope. If you want something enough... sometimes a little hope is all you need!

I turned my scary feelings into the children's book—about a surprising hero who simply refused to give up on his dream.

Then one day, without a writing degree or contacts (接触) in the writing world—just a lot of hard work—I was offered a publishing deal for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into place. I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with a big company and got a good job.

It takes time, but just hold on! Things can change when you don't expect it.

24.The writer didn't think the graduation day was exciting because__________ . A. he/she didn't get university degree B. his/her family and friends didn't come C. he/she had very few job opportunities

The Job

“Serena, don’t forget your promise to me that you will mow(割)Mrs. Martin’s yard this weekend,” said Dad. “Don’t let me down.”

Serena was the oldest child in the family, and one of her chores was to mow their yard. Mrs. Martin, their elderly neighbor, was unable to take care of her yard, so Serena’s Dad had volunteered Serena for this job. Since Mrs. Martin’s yard was not very big, Serena knew the job would go quickly. However, she still disliked her dad’s promise.

“Why didn’t you ask me first?” Serena had complained.

“Did you ask me first when you volunteered me to be in the school festival last fall?” asked Serena’s father.

“Well, no, I didn’t ask you first, but you would have done those things anyway. You’re always willing to help.”

“I try when I can,” Dad answered. “Serena, we have known Mrs. Martin for a very long time. She has often helped our family. Now we can do something for her. Besides, the feeling you get from helping someone makes you wonder who is really helping who.”

“I don’t know, Dad,” said Serena. “The only feeling I get from mowing our yard is tired.” “Just you wait and see,” said Dad.

After breakfast, Serena made her way to Mrs. Martin’s yard. She was good at her job and soon had Mrs. Martin’s yard looking tidy. Mrs. Martin came outside with a big glass of orange juice and offered it to her. Serena stopped her work and gratefully enjoyed the drink, while Mrs. Martin talked to her about all of the flowers in her yard. Seeing the joy in Mrs. Martin’s eyes, Serena began to understand how much the yard meant to Mrs. Martin.

After finishing her drink, Serena returned to work with a new attitude. A warm feeling began to spread through her body. Her dad was right. It was hard to tell who was helping who! 24. Why did Serena dislike her Dad’s promise? A. Because Mrs. Martin’s yard was too big to mow. B. Because Mrs. Martin was able to take care of her yard.

C. Because her Dad volunteered her for the job without telling her first. D. Because her Dad thought mowing the yard was one of her chores. 25. _______ made Serena change her attitude toward the job.

一天，一个瞎子和一个瘸子结伴去寻找那种仙果，他们一直走呀走，途中他们翻山越岭。历经千辛万苦，头发开始斑白。有一天，那瘸子对瞎子说：“天哪！这样下去哪有尽头？我不干了，受不了了。“老兄，我相信不远了，会找到的，只要心中存有希望，会找到的。”瞎子却说。可瘸子执意要留在途中的山寨中，瞎子便一个人上路了。

由于瞎子看不见，不知道该走向何处，他碰到人便问，人们也好心地指引他，他身上捉襟见肘，遍体鳞伤，可他心中的希望未曾改变。

终于有一天，他到达了那座山，他全力以赴向上爬，快到山顶的时候，他感觉自己浑身充满了力量，像年轻了几十岁，他向身旁摸索，便摸到了果子一样的东西，放在嘴里咬一口，天哪！他复明了，什么都看见了，绿绿的树木，花儿鲜艳，小溪清澈。果子长满了山坡，他朝溪水俯身看去，自己竞变成了一个英俊年轻的小伙子！

准备离去的时候，他没有忘记替同行而来的瘸子带上两个仙果，到山寨的时候，他看到瘸子拄着拐棍，变成了一个头发花白的老头，瘸子认不出他了，因为他已是一个年轻的小伙子。可当他们相认后，瘸子吃下那果子，却丝毫未起任何变化，他们终于知道，只有自己的行动，才能换来成功和幸福。所谓成功，我们要心存希望，要勇往直前，要坚持，要有毅力，那么，成功早晚属于你。

一饭千金

帮助汉高祖打平天下的大将韩信，在未得志时，境况很是困苦。那时候，他时常往城下钓鱼，希望碰着好运气，便可以解决生活。但是，这究竟不是可靠的办法，因此，时常要饿着肚子。幸而在他时常钓鱼的地方，有很多漂母（清洗丝棉絮或旧衣布的老婆婆）在河边作工的，其中有一个漂母，很同情韩信的遭遇，便不断的救济他，给他饭吃。韩信在艰难困苦中，得到那位以勤劳克苦仅能以双手勉强糊口的漂母的恩惠，很是感激她，便对她说，将来必定要重重的报答她。那漂母听了韩信的话，很是不高兴，表示并不希望韩信将来报答她的。后来，韩信替汉王立了不少功劳，被封为楚王，他想起从前曾受过漂母的恩惠，便命从人送酒菜给她吃，更送给她黄金一千两来答谢她。

这句成语就是出于这个故事的。它的意思是说：受人的恩惠，切莫忘记，虽然所受的恩惠很是微小，但在困难时，即使一点点帮助也是很可贵的；到我们有能力时，应该重重地报答施惠的人才是合理。

【感恩小结】

感恩，是结草衔环，是滴水之恩涌泉相报。 感恩，是一种美德，是一种境界。

感恩，是值得你用一生去等待的一次宝贵机遇。 感恩，是值得你用一生去完成的一次世纪壮举。 感恩，是值得你用一生去珍视的一次爱的教育。

感恩，不是为求得心理平衡的喧闹的片刻答谢，而是发自内心的无言的永恒回报。 感恩，让生活充满阳光，让世界充满温馨……
