When I was about 12 years old, a girl in my class liked to point out my shortcoming. She said I was very thin. I wasn't good at math. I talked too much. I was too proud and so on. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, and asked, "Are those things true or not?" Then he added, "well, you have that girl's opinions". Make a list of everything she said and make the points that are true.
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found out that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change, like being very thin, but many I could. Suddenly, I wanted to change. For the first time I got a clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy, and he said, "Now you know better about yourself". But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears angrily and feel hurt. When something said about you are true, you'll find it will be great help to you. Don't shut your ears. Listen to the truth and do the right things.
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I've never had a better piece of advice.

Can you imagine Black Friday and Buy Nothing Day are celebrated on the same day in America. The day after Thanksgiving (the fourth Thursday in November) is regarded as the beginning of Christmas shopping season. But some Canadians started celebrating Buy Nothing Day on that day in Vancouver in 1902.
Buy Nothing Day advises people not to buy anything in one day. Kalle thought up the idea first after working as an advertiser for quite a few years in Canada. He believes that many stores guide customers to buy far more than what is really necessary. He thinks it leads to blind cost, which makes people care about things themselves rather than their true needs. He expects people to know the values of shopping. He also disagrees that buying more means being happy.
Why does Buy Nothing Day fall on the day after Thanksgiving. In general, people in some western countries will shop for Christmas and New Year's Day from then on. The day after Thanksgiving is Friday. People call it Black Friday. Kalle chose this day for a very important reason. It is one of the biggest shopping days of the year. Now Buy Nothing Day has spread across more than seventy countries, including America, Canada, Australia, Germany and Japan.
Buy Nothing Day has truly changed the shopping culture and people's thoughts. As the Buy Nothing Day website says, "The day isn't about changing you for just one day—we want it to be a lasting relationship or maybe a life—changing experience." The customers should buy better, use less and produce less waste. So customers can not only save money but improve their life.
（1）Thanksgiving Day in 2019 is November 28th, Buy Nothing Day is ______.
A.November 29th. B.November 27th. C.November 28th.
（2）The second paragraph mainly talks about ______.
A. people think that buying things make them happy
B. people think buying things is cheap on the day
C.people should buy something that they need
（3）Which of the following is TRUE about "Buy Nothing Day"?
A. Buy Nothing Day has spread few countries.
B.It is the same day as Black Friday in America.
C. It is only celebrated in European countries.
（4）The underlined part "buy better" means we should ______ in the last paragraph.
A. buy more expensive things B. buy too many better things C.choose things more wisely
（5）From the last paragraph, which of the opinions may the writer support?
A. Buy Nothing Day hopes that people don't buy anything for only one day.
B. The purpose of Buy Nothing Day is to guide people not to waste things.
C. To save money, customers shouldn't buy anything on Buy Nothing Day.

If our kids don't fall, they don't lean to get up. I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I'm the oldest of four children, and no doubt she'd had a long day with the other kids and it'd slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and got mad at my mom because of forgetting me.
Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I thought my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight A student ready to start college applications（申请）, being late wasn't a choice. In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career（学术生涯）. I begged my mom. I told her she was destroying my future and everything I'd worked for. But she held her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.
My mom didn't help me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me work it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I've realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. It's how we self educate to learn what's right and respectable, and what's not. It's how we become responsible.
Falling down makes us better, because we learn how to get up.
（1）It took the writer much time ______ at school that day.
（2）The writer was angry with her mother because her mother ______.
（3）The writer's mother refused ______ the next day.
（4）In Paragraph Two, "she held her ground" means she ______ her opinion.
（5）Finally, the writer has realized that the experience of failure is ______ for her.

Now students' English handwriting gets worse and worse. That makes their teachers feel worried. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work!
Use paper with lines
Use paper with lines can keep you writing straight when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And make sure you write those capital letters properly.
Slowdown
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going slower makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it's hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse. You may make more mistakes.
Hold your pen right
When you hold your pen the correct way, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to relax yourself and don't hold the pen so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit.
Draw more pictures
Drawing can improve your handwriting. You need to use the skills to control your pen better when you are drawing pictures. Even though you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home.
Handwriting is very important. Imagine you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you Give them your autographs, of course!
