A Chicago six-year-old girl’s decision to feed the homeless instead of receiving presents on her birthday is touching the hearts of many not only in the area, but also across the country.
Armani Crews had been begging her parents for a few months to feed homeless people in her community.
“I said, ‘OK, we’ll make some sandwiches,’ to which Armani said, ‘No. I want the same thing we’d have at my birthday party,’” her mother recalled.
Even when her father, Antoine, told her that if she wanted to go through with this, she wouldn’t get a birthday gift, the girl, whose birthday was March 5, wouldn’t give in.
So the Chicago family spent about $300 buying food to send to homeless people in the city’s East Garfield Park neighborhood. They bought chicken, fish, corn, green beans, mashed potatoes, rolls, cake, cookies, fruit and water.
After Armani mentioned her plan at the family’s local church, the church members donated (捐赠) other items to create care packages for the homeless.
Armani’s birthday party was a success, with the family feeding more than 125 people who gathered.
In a statement, the six-year-old girl told ABC News, “It was nice to be nice.” Her mother added, “She was excited and happy. Everybody was being fed. One gentleman said he hadn’t had a hot meal in a long time.”
1.What do we know about Armani Crews?
A.She was a six-year-old girl disliking birthday gifts.
B.She gave up her birthday party to feed the homeless.
C.She begged her parents to feed the homeless regularly.
D.She was willing to protect the pride of the homeless.

Earthquake rescue robots have experienced their final tests in Beijing. Their designers say with these robots, rescuers will be able to save lives during an earthquake.
This robot looking like a helicopter, is called the detector-bot. It’s about 4 meters long, and it took about 4 years to develop the model. Its main functions (作用) are to collect information from the air, and send goods of up to 30 kilos, to people trapped by an earthquake.
This robot has a high definition 360 degree panoramic (全景) camera. It can work day and night and will also be able to send the latest pictures from the quake area.
Dr. Qi Juntong, Chinese Academy of Science, said, “The most important feature of this robot is that it doesn’t need a distant control. We just set the destination (目的地) information on it, and then it takes off, and lands by itself. It flies as high as 3,000 meters, and as fast as 100 kilometers per hour.”
This robot has a different function — it can change as the environment changes. Its main job is to search for any signs of life in places where human rescuers are unable to go.
As well as a detector (探测器) that finds victims and detects poisonous gas, a camera is placed in the 40 centimeter long robot, which can work in the dark.
Another use for the rescuers is the supply part, with its 10 meter long pipe. People who are trapped in the ruins, will be able to get supplies including oxygen and liquids.
Experts have said that the robots will enter production, and serve as part of the national earth-quake rescue team as soon as next year.
1.According to the passage, this robot________.
A.is carried by the helicopter
B.weighs about 30 kilos
C.is a machine with a length of 10 meters
D.hasn’t been put into production so far
2.The underlined word “which” in paragraph 6 refers to________.
A.a camera B.a robot C.a rescuer D.a detector
3.Which of the following is true of the robot?
A.It is designed to prevent the earthquake.
B.It is unable to send goods.
C.It can take and send pictures even in the dark.
D.It can be used to take in poisonous gas.
4.The text is mainly about _____________.
A.what the robot looks like B.an introduction to the robot
C.how the robot is made D.information about earthquakes

Sometimes life can seem challenging (挑战的) and we usually get the feeling of “the grass on the other side is always greener”! We usually feel upset with the troubles that life throws at us.
The best thing to do at that point of time is to close our eyes and start counting of all the blessings in life that God has given us.
If we think deeply, our life is full of blessings that we hardly recognize. Listening to the singing of birds early in the morning, we realize that there are many people who spend their life in a world that is silent while many others spend their lives in a world that is dark and may have never seen a rainbow or the setting sun.
When you go out for a drive, pull down the window and look at the poor beggar standing under the hot sun, begging for filling his hungry stomach. We get three meals a day without realizing its importance. Isn’t that a blessing?
Whenever you are sad, look at the eyes of your parents and family filled with love and concern for you. There are many people who have never experienced the love of a family. Isn’t that a blessing?
As Mother Teresa once said, “We don’t need to do great things. We need to do small things with great love”.
The key to a happy life is when we consider others problems to be our own and try to help them. When we love people without any expectations and help them, our heart is filled with a sense of happiness and peace seeing the smile on their face.
So the next time whenever life knocks you down, close your eyes and…start counting!
1.What does the author intend to tell us?
A.True happiness lies in achieving wealth.
B.Blessings should be treasured in our life.
C.The singing of birds can make us happy.
D.Love from our family gives us courage to face life.
2.The underlined part “the grass on the other side is always greener” in paragraph 1 probably means that__________.
A.however happy we are, we never seem to be satisfied
B.though we are rich, we are poor in mind
C.we can have a better life if we work harder
D.there exists a greener grass on the other side
3.What can be learned from the text?
A.We have already known that life is filled with blessings.
B.It is a blessing to have three meals a day.
C.It’s natural to see a rainbow or the setting sun in life.
D.Mother Teresa calls on us to do great things in life.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Troubles in Life B.Secrets of Life
C.A Sense of Happiness D.Count Your Blessings

Things to Remember When You’re Having a Bad Day
Even the hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person. Feeling down? Consider these things to remember when you’re having a bad day.
No one promised life would be perfect.
1.Don’t base your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself. It is good to be ambitious, but you’ll never be perfect. If you expect otherwise, your life will be filled with disappointments.
2.
Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. Don’t kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly. It isn’t easy to be patient, but anything worth doing requires time.3..
Without hard times, you wouldn’t appreciate the good ones.
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to give up, that is strength.4.. It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail, but how else would you improve yourself? If you look at failures as a part of your growing process, you’ll stay positive and follow your goals for as long as it takes.
It’s OK to cry sometimes.
Do not apologize for crying. Without this feeling, we are only robots. Don’t be afraid of crying.5.Instead, it is an acceptable way to let go of your depressed feelings. If you let those feelings build up without release, you’ll have a much harder time dealing with them later.
A.Don’t get sad if you lose.
B.It isn’t a sign of weakness.
C.Success doesn’t happen overnight.
D.It’s not OK to worry now and then.
E.Don’t compare your life with others’.
F.Remember: Rome was not built in a day.
G.If you look for perfection, you’ll never be content.
