Maurice Sendak's children's book，Where the Wild Things Are，published in 1963，has become very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year.
The book's main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed without any supper.Before long，Max's room magically becomes a forest，and he sails away to a land where monsters live.Max isn't scared，though，and becomes king of the wild things，but after a while，he begins feeling homesick.Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in his bedroom.
Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity and imagination. Melina Davis，an education professor，said she likes how the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves，” she said.
The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children，but experts say those words help improve children's reading skills and challenge them.
Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through，like ‘I was naughty but my mommy still loves me'” Davis said.
The book also encourages children to face their fears.“I think it's really good to show that Max is friends with the monsters，” Davis said.“Kids can find out monsters aren't always the thing under the bed that's going to scare them.I think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”
Since the book has been successful throughout the years，a movie was recently made and many people are excited to see it.Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little scary for younger children.“You don't want bad dreams over a book that's extremely wonderful'” Davis said.

Sure，it's good to get along well with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes，it's good to get along well with your teacher because，in general，it's smart to learn how to get along well with the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.
In fact，kids who get along well with their teachers not only learn more，but they're more comfortable with asking questions and getting extra help.This makes it easier for them to understand new materials and makes them do their best on tests.When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher，he or she can be someone to turn to with problems，such as problems with learning or school issues(问题)．
Here is a question：what if you don't get along with your teachers？In fact，teachers want to get along well with you and enjoy seeing you learn.But teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes(个性冲突)，which can happen between any two people.If you show your teacher that you want to make the situation better，he or she will probably do everything possible to make that happen.By dealing with a problem like this，you learn something about how to get along with people who are different from you.
However if a certain teacher isn't your favorite，you can still have a successful relationship with her or him，especially ________.Here are some of those responsibilities(责任)：
Attend class ready to learn.

[1] It’s good to make a mistake, and here is why. First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? The simple answer is “You can’t”. Look around you. Almost everything valuable you see in your world is the result of _____________.
[2] Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn’t failed 10000 times, but rather had learned 10000 things that didn’t work.
[3] Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why? Because when all is said and done, you will have tried only a few things before you succeed. Every time you made a mistake, you got rid of one bad thing and stepped closer to success.
[4] But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead without considering the consequences of a mistake. Instead, when you try something new, you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that you will have opportunities to try again in case that it doesn’t work out as you expected. We all have limited resources so don’t blow them all at one time. Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time and use these resources appropriately so you can learn, improve, and try it again. Only by using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your career.
[5] There is an old saying that goes, “If you’re not making mistake, you’re not trying hard enough.” So go forth and make mistakes.
1.List three reasons why making a mistake is good for you. (Please answer within 5 words for each blank.)
① _________________________② ____________________③ ________________________
2. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4? (Please answer within 8 words.)
__________________________________________________________________________
3.Fill in the blank in paragraph 1 with proper words. (Please answer within 5 words.)
__________________________________________________________________________
4. Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?
You should take its bad results into account though making a mistake is good.
____________________________________________________________________________
5.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 into Chinese.
____________________________________________________________________________
