Breakthrough of Middle School English (7)【心灵鸡汤】 别人的感受 这件事情是发生在普吉岛的ClubMed渡假村，那时我在那里担任英文的翻译公关。 有一天，我在大厅里，突然看见一位满脸歉意的日本工作人员，安慰着一位大约四岁的西方小孩，饱受惊吓的小孩已经哭得精疲力尽了。 问明原因之后，我才知道，原来这位日本工作人员，因为那天小孩较多，而一时疏忽，在儿童的网球课结束后，少算了一位，而将这位澳洲小孩留在网球场。 等到她发现人数不对时，才赶快跑到网球场，将这位小孩带回来，而小孩因为一个人在偏远的网球场，而饱受惊吓，哭得稀里哗啦的。 现在澳洲妈妈出现了，看着自己的小孩哭得惨兮兮的。 如果你是这位妈妈，你会怎么做？痛骂那位工作人员一顿？还是很生气的将小孩带离开，再也不参加“儿童俱乐部”了？还是直接向主管抗议？ 都不是！我亲眼看见这位妈妈，蹲下来安慰四岁的小孩，并且很理性的告诉他：“已经没事了，那位日本姊姊因为找不到他而非常的紧张难过，她不是故意的，现在你必须亲亲那位日本姊姊的脸颊，安慰她一下！” 当下我只见那位四岁的小孩，垫起脚跟，亲亲蹲在他身旁的日本工作人员的脸颊，并且轻轻的告诉她：“不要害怕，已经没事了！” 当你感到难过害怕的同时，也别忘了别人心里的感受；当你对朋友施予帮助，也别忘了不要伤到其他人。 【完形填空】做完形填空的八字秘诀：设身处地、瞻前顾后。想象出题人是个非常慈祥的长者，他在设置每个选项的时候，都会想到给你留下一个线索，帮你找出正确答案。一旦你掌握了这种秘密，你会发现完形填空真的很神奇！Why do I want to go to college?

The farmer was pleased with the gift, but when he got home he did not know where to plant it. He was afraid that if he planted the tree near the road, strangers would steal the fruit. If he planted the tree in one of his field, his neighbors would come at night and steal some of the apples. If he planted the tree near his house, his children would take the fruit. Finally he planted the tree in his wood where no one could see it. But without sunlight and good soil, the tree soon died. Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place.Whats the difference? the farmer said angrily. If I had planted the tree near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit. If I had planted the tree in one of my field, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples. If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit. Yes, said the friend, but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit. Now you not only have robbed everyone of the fruit, but also you have destroyed a good apple tree!得阅读者得天下【阅读理解】AIn learning English, one should first pay attention to listening and speaking.

It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we cant drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only drink and use the 3%the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we cant even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted.Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid a serious water shortage later on? Firstly, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making study in this field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but its already in use in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, well be in no danger of drying up.1. The world is thirsty because _.
