I was feeling a little blue because my mother had lost her job.
One day, while I was      on the street, I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people. I walked more slowly to      where it was coming from. Then I saw a young lady sitting at a piano.
She was singing songs about love,       yourself and keeping on trying. The way she was singing made me a little comfortable. I stood there      , watching her playing on such a crowded New York square. I thought that she must be      enough to perform in front of so many people.
She noticed me. I walked over and told her how good her        sounded. "Thank you." she said.
"I have been going through a hard time recently,       you've made me hopeful again." I said to her.
"I’m glad that I could help," she replied. "Why are you so      ?”
"Well, my mum has lost her job, and I’m not so sure what to do... "
"Did you notice the          you were walking? Your head was down." she said. "Don’t be upset, because            comes in different ways and if your head is down, you might not see it. You should      more ... lift your head up. "
I looked        her, amazed at how she was encouraging me. "      are you playing the piano here?"
I asked her with a smile.
She      that she saw a lot of unhappy people in the world and she tried to cheer    up by playing music.
I smiled a little wider, realizing that no difficulties could stop me from going on.

Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well in all your schoolwork. It can make you confident when you are studying. But unluckily, most students don’t know how to take notes.
★Write down key facts. If your teacher writes notes on the blackboard, that’s great. You can copy them or write down the most important facts of all in class. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may focus* on lots of dates and facts* in class, but they only write the important ones on the blackboard. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may say something important again and again.
★Ask. Don’t be afraid to ask your teacher to repeat what you miss. If your teacher speaks too fast and you can’t follow what he is saying, you can ask him after class.
★Compare. Comparing your notes with your classmates’ can be good for your learning. It can also help you and your classmates correct some mistakes.
★Organize. Note-taking also needs organization. Keep notes for each subject in one notebook, so that you can find everything easily when a test comes.
★Good note-taking takes time. If you decide to recopy your notes every evening, you’ll surely have less time to watch TV. But you’ll save time in the coming test.
If you can’t follow your teachers in class, what should you do?

Which way can help you correct mistakes in your notes?

Which can be the BEST title for this passage?

The London Olympic Games are coming soon. This summer, Chinese sports fans will be able to watch the exciting games in 3-D on CCTV.
When you watch 3-D movies or TV, you have to wear a special pair of glasses. The 3-D glasses make the people and the things on the screen look like they are in the room with you.
3-D, means having three dimensions*: width*, height and depth*. 3-D technology is based on the way the human brain and eye work. Because the pupils of a person’s eyes about 6.5cm apart, when we look at something, each eye sees it from different angle*. Our eyes send the two pictures to our brain, and the brain puts them together. The small difference between the picture from the right eye and the picture from the left eye makes us see depth.
While watching 2-D films, we don’t have to wear the special glasses. We see the pictures in two dimensions, each eye get same information. This is because there is only one way of watching it.
So the aim of 3-D technology is to get a different picture into each eye of the person. It uses two film projects. One projects a left eye picture and the other projects a right eye picture. When we are in the cinema, we can see different pictures in each eye at the same time with the help of the 3-D glasses.
While watching 3-D films, we feel that we are actually in the same environment as the things we are watching. However, some people are against watching 3-D films. One of the reason is the 3-D glasses make the screen of the film or TV look darker. It is bad for eyes. What’s more, people with eye problems may get headaches if they spend too much time watching 3-D movies, because their brains need to work harder to “read” the pictures.

The third paragraph mainly tells us _____________.

When we watch a 2-D film, each of our eyes gets ______ information.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

Why are some people against watching 3-Dfilms? Because ________.

The secret of Success
________ Your best chance of success is by doing what you really want to do. Ask yourself, “If money were not so important, what kind of work would I do for free?” Then just do what you like to do.
______ Think about what you are going to do. You have to start somewhere and it may be quite a real beginning. Whether you are beginning in business or you’re dreaming to be a star, you have to start at the bottom.
__________ Great ambition* is necessary. An English student called Richard Brason opened a student magazine when he was only 16 years old. But he didn’t stop here. He also opened a record business with many shops, and now his company has planes, trains and cars.
___________ The only people who succeed without hard work are lottery* winners. You need a “can do” attitude* and you must work step by step, which will help you get what you really want. You are on the right way to win the success.
Follow the leaders. If you always say someone is successful, it doesn’t mean anything to you. Learn from those who have already succeeded in something, especially where they do the same as you want to do.

A middle school student.
B.A new hand in the company.
