When kids played games, I was always the “monster”. I grew up imagining that everyone looked down on me.Yet Mum would say to me, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I began to rely on that saying.As a child, I thought Mum meant, “Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking.” As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mum and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance.”My mums love was the spark that gave me confidence.

Parents often give their children an amount of money that they may spend as they wish. The purpose is to let the children learn from experience at an early age when financial mistakes are not very costly.A child may receive pocket money each week or each month. The amount is not so important. But parents should make clear what the child should pay for with the money.At first, young children may spend all of their pocket money soon after they receive it. If they do this, they will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents should not offer more money until the next pocket money is to be given.Older children may be responsible enough to budget larger costs like those for clothing. The object is to show young people that a budget demands choices between spending and saving.Many people who have written on the subject say it is not a good idea to pay your child for work around the home. These jobs are a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the home, however, can be useful. It can even provide an understanding of how a business works.Pocket money gives children a chance to experience three things they can do with money.They can share it in the form of gifts or giving it to organizations. They can spend it by buying things they want. Or they can save it.Saving helps children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their pocket money can also open the door to future saving and investing. Many banks offer free savings accounts for young people with small amounts of money.( ) 31.

He suffered from serious illness as a child, and so he has braces on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches(双拐).He walks painfully, yet majestically, until he reaches his chair. Then he sits down, slowly, puts his crutches on the floor. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and begins to play.But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear the soundit went off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that meant. There was no mistaking what he had to do.We supposed that he would have to get up and went off the stageto either find another violin or else find another string for this one. But he didnt. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signalled the conductor to begin again.The orchestra began, and he played from where he had left off. And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before.When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose, applauded thunderously and even cheered with tears. He smiled, wiped the sweat from this brow, raised his bow to quiet us, and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artists task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”( ) 36.

Read the two letters from people in the town of Waterville to their local newspaper. The chart on the left shows the average number of school days in some countries.Letter ADear Editor,Why do our children have 11 weeks of summer vacation? Many years ago, 85 percent of Americans worked on farms. Children needed summer vacation because they helped with the farm work. Today only 3 percent of Americans work on farms. But our children still have long summer vacations.American students lose one or two months of learning during their summer vacations. Away from school for so many weeks, students forget what they learned. Experts say that students lose maths skills and reading skills. At the beginning of school in September, teachers have to review last years studies for the first four to six weeks of school.Summer vacations are not great opportunities for learning. Most parents work outside of the home. They cant be with their kids during the long summer months. Some families can pay for summer camps, but many cant. Most children stay home and watch TV. They are bored. Most children do not learn new skills during the summer.James, TeacherLetter BDear Editor,I am against a longer school year. I believe people learn everywhere, not just in school. I believe children gain experience in the world. Summer vacation is a great opportunity. Kids can discover the world outside of school. They can learn to do things they cant learn in a classroom. They can learn to swim and ride bikes. They can travel or go to summer camps.They can take time to do things like cooking and art. Some can get summer jobs. They can get work experience or help people in the community. They can spend time with people of other ages. Basically, they can get more experience in the world.Long summer vacations give families time together. During the school year, everyone is busy. During summer vacations, we take time to do things together. Vacations are good for families.Linda, Parent( ) 41. According to the chart, which two countries have the same number of school days?A.
