With so many people in the world telling us we can’t succeed, we need to hear people telling us we can.I remember my high school English teacher telling me not to apply to Cornell University because they wouldn’t accept me and even if they did I wouldn’t be able to do the work. I almost didn’t apply but a few days later I saw Ivan Foldfarb, a former teacher, in the hallway and asked him about Cornell. He said, “If you get in, then you go. You can do it.” His words made all the difference. I applied and was accepted.

Too often we think it’s our role to inject a dose（一次剂量）of “reality” into someone’s life. We think we must point out how bad the economy is and how horrible the job market is and how the sky is falling.

I say there are enough pessimists and “realists” in the world. The world needs more optimists, encouragers, and inspirers. The world needs more people to speak into the hearts of others and say “I believe in you.” “If you have the desire then you also have the power to make it happen.” “Even if you fail, it will lead to something even better.”

When it comes to encouragement I know that every one of us loves working for and with people who bring out the best in us. We love being around people who uplift us and make us feel great.

And while we’ll always remember the negative people who told us we couldn’t accomplish something, we will always cherish and hold a special place in our heart for those who encouraged us.

Today I want to encourage you to be an encourager. Today decide to be that person who instills a positive belief in someone who for that needs to hear your encouraging words. Encourage someone who is feeling down. Fuel your team with your positive energy.

Share encouragement. It matters and we all need it.

1.Why did the author’s English teacher tell him not to apply to Cornell University?

A. Because the author had no talent.

B. Because the author was a bad student.

C. Because the teacher thought little of the author.

D. Because the teacher didn’t want the author to attend university.

2.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?

A. The world is lack of “reality”.

B. The economy is becoming worse and worse.

C. We have to face a negative world every day.

D. We take it for granted that we should reveal “reality”.

3.What does the underlined word “uplift” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. to increase something.

B. to raise something to a higher position.

C. to give hope or encouragement to somebody.

The trouble with school is that you can’t choose the people you get to see every day. If you’re unlucky enough to be stuck with classmates who don’t really “get” you, you’ve just got to try to make the best of it.

But that doesn’t mean you need to “fit in”, or at least in the way that people think. If you try to transform yourself into a clone of everyone else, it won’t help you make friends. It’ll just make you feel like a fake.

You also shouldn’t shut down or refuse to be friends with everyone who doesn’t like you. If you do that, you’ll just make yourself miserable. Instead, you’ve got to work on being comfortable and confident with whom you are while ignoring all the haters. Keep on speaking up, asking questions and getting to know people better. If you send out positive energy, then people will generally send some back to you. A couple of them will stay the same, and you’re allowed to forget about them.

If you feel like you’re doing all that but still not getting anywhere, then don’t give up. Just expand your circle. Get a part-time job at a cool-looking place, join an after-school art class or youth group—do whatever it takes to find a couple of like-minded people to connect with. Even if you don’t find anyone right away, you’ll still be getting some more social experiences under your belt, and that’s always a good thing.

A fun book called Uncool, by Erin Elisabeth Conley, has some tips for folks like you who want to stay positive at school while being true to your personality:

·Throw caution to the wind.

·Don’t tolerate others’ mistakes.

·Have patience with people who are different from you.

·Don’t change just because someone else thinks you should.

·Know that even though you may be a misfit, there’s always some place where you will be welcomed in the world.

1.According to the author, what should you do if you meet people who don’t appreciate you?

A. Just give up.

B. Ask someone else for help.

C. Show positive attitude toward them.

D. Try your best to fit in with them.

2.The author agrees that you should take part in more activities in order to __________.

A. get more chances of making friends

B. lay a better foundation for your future jobs

C. transform yourself into a clone.

D. make you feel like a fake.

3.In the book Uncool, Erin Elisabeth Conley thinks you should _________.

A. always be kind to your friends

B. keep your own personality

C. tolerate others’ mistakes

D. help improve characters of others

4.This passage was written mainly for _______.

A. doctors　　　 B. scientists

C. students　　 D. Teachers

We experience different forms of the Sun’s energy every day. We can see its light and feel its warmth. The Sun is the major source of evaporation (蒸发) of water from the oceans and lakes. Sunlight also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food. These green plants then provide food for all organisms (生物) on the Earth.

Much of the energy that comes from the Sun never reaches the Earth’s surface. It is either reflected or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere. Of the energy that reaches the lower atmosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the Earth’s surface. The remaining 70% warms the surface of the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather. Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.

Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the Earth’s surface back to the Earth. These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy from the Sun to enter but prevent energy from leaving. They are therefore called greenhouse gases.

When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected. The amount reflected depends on the surface. For example, you’ve probably noticed how bright snow is when sunlight falls on it. Snow reflects most of the energy from the Sun, so it contributes to the low temperatures of winter. Dark-coloured surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorb more energy and help warm the surrounding air.

1.According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the Earth is ______.

A. the atmosphere surrounding the Earth

B. water from oceans and lakes

C. energy from the Sun

D. greenhouse gases in the sky

2.Only a small part of the Sun’s energy reaches the Earth’s surface because most of it _______________.

A. absorbed by the clouds in the lower atmosphere

B. reflected by the gases in the upper atmosphere

C. lost in the upper and lower atmosphere

D. used to evaporate water from the oceans and lakes

3.We learn from the passage that _______________.

A. all living things on the Earth depend on the Sun for their food

B. a forest looks dark in winter because it absorbs solar energy

C. only 0.023% of the energy from the Sun is made use of on the Earth

D. greenhouse gases allow heat energy to escape from the Earth’s surface

Money with no strings attached. It’s not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, “Give What You Can, Take What You Need.”

People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board. “People of all ages, races, and socio-economic(社会经济的) backgrounds gave and took,” said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. “We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars.” Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The video clip(片段) shows one man who had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board.

“What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles,” Bridges said. “There’s a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most.” Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.

While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.

“After all, everyone has bad days and good days,” he said. “Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”

1.What does the expression “money with no strings attached” in paragraph 1 mean?

A.Money spent without hesitation.

B.Money not legally made.

C.Money offered without conditions.

D.Money not tied together.

2.What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride?

A.Women tended to be more sociable.

B.The activity attracted various people.

C.Economic problems were getting worse.

D.Young couples needed financial assistance.

3.Why did Bridges carry out the project?

A.To do a test on people’s morals.

B.To raise money for his company.

C.To earn himself a good reputation.

D.To promote kindness and sympathy.
