One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it.The farmer _     seed (做种子的) corn to his neighbors.
“How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors？” the reporter asked.“You know they are taking part in the _     with you each year.”
“Why, sir,” said the farmer, “didn"t you know？The wind picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow      __ corn, crosspollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must _    _ my neighbors to grow good corn.”
The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve _    _ his neighbor"s corn improves.
As a great man says, “We make a living by what we __    _, but we make a life by what we give.” We can"t live without food, clothes, and many other things. However, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, but by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us different from other animals.

举一反三

Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. "I got a red flower today. Could you please sign签字 this note?" he said to Mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is "OK", but often he gets "You can do better than this." Mum knows what it means. She tells me "You can do better than this" means "Extremely bad" in China.
In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is "Please be nicer tomorrow". Many parents are satisfied with对---满意 a B-grade for each subject.
But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spent more time on homework than I did when I was a 6^th grader in the USA! Yet his parents and teachers didn"t think he worked hard enough.
Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.

Time flies. Your time in junior high school will come to an end in a few months. Let’s look back over the last three years. What were the highs and lows?
For Zhang Xiaomeng, a senior high school girl from Jiangsu, meeting her best friend Hua Xuan was the best part of her time at junior high school. They went to class together, had lunch together, and even went to the washroom together. Having one or two best friends is important, said Xu Zheng, a teacher from Jiangsu. “Students have secrets. They don’t want to tell their parents,”Xu added. However, being too rebellious (叛逆的) in junior high is the biggest regret for Liu Anqing, a senior high school student from Fujian. “I didn’t listen to my parents. I quarreled with my mother every week,” said Liu. “I wish I could go back to that time and get on well with them.” Time also needs to be taken care of. Zhang Zihua, 15, from Shanxi, thought he had plenty of time to prepare for the big exam at the end of Junior 3. Then one day, he was told: “The exam is in 100 days.” “We need a strong knowledge base to pass the exam. But I didn’t care about it,” said Zhang. Gu Xiaoli, a teacher from Jiangsu, said that it’s never too late to catch up. “No matter your regrets about wasted time, you can always pick things up from now,” said Gu.

Do you remember the name of your kindergarten(幼儿园) teacher? I do. Her name was Mrs White.
I don’t remember much about     we learned in her class, but my mother once told me that we    write a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she could see there were so many mistakes.    no red corrections. And always a star. Sometimes even a Good! It worried my mother, so one day she went to    Mrs White and asked her why she     corrected my mistakes.
And my mother says Mrs White said “The children are just     to get excited about using words, about forming sentences. I don’t want to lose the interests with red ink(墨水).     and grammar can wait. The wonder of     won’t... ”.Maybe she didn’t say it exactly like that at that moment. And what my mother gave me was the main idea of what she could remember.
I     now and think Mrs White must have been a rather    teacher. She encouraged joy, wonder and excitement — even if our expression of it was     . Because she believed a bud(花蕾)once nipped(掐断) never opens.
I used to misspell “beautiful” a lot. Never could quite remember that the e went    the a. It annoyed my teacher in high school very much. If I was going to use the word so often, she considered the    I could do was spell it right. Finally the e’s and a’s were in their right places. Am glad I didn’t wait on them though. Pretty is    to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you mean sometimes.
And    Mrs White I had no worries about writing what I meant. Because Life isn’t Pretty. It’s Baeutiful.

Having friends, and finding new friendships is an important developmental task for preteens and teens. While they have learned to play well with others during their childhood, developing independent friendships is a different thing. Preteens and teens will be allowed to use their own resources to decide whether to be someone’s friend or not, instead of being taught by their parents. Parents must give their teenagers some freedom in choosing who they want to hang out with.
You can help your teens to choose their friends, although it’s your teenagers who make the final decision. You can use teachable moments to talk about what makes a good friend. Here are some points to remember when you talk about friendships with your teenagers:
1) You are allowed to have many friends;
2) Honesty is important in a friendship;
3) Friends sometimes hurt each other, but they can say sorry and forgive(原谅);
4) Friends can influence each other, sometimes they will help you but sometimes they will hurt you, too.
5) Who you choose to be your friend is important, so choose wisely;
6) It takes many learned skills to make and keep a friendship, and it also takes many skills to end a friendship;
7) It is okay and even helpful to make friends with the opposite gender(异性);
8) It takes time to make a good friend, but it is worth the effort;
9) Spending time together will help you get to know your friends well and you will feel comfortable sharing feelings;

Can you imagine surfing the Internet without lifting your finger? Do you want to know what it feels like to fly like a bird? Let’s have a look at some of the “Best inventions of the Year 2012”.
Wing Suits

The suit can make your dream of flying like a bird come true. Well, not exactly flying, but gliding（滑翔）through the air. Fliers wearing wing suits can glide one kilometer in about 30 seconds. But they need a parachute（降落伞）to make a safe landing because the suit does not allow you to slow down.
Talk Gloves

Do you often feel confused（困惑的）by the sign language used by disabled people? Here is the “helping hand” you need. Four students in Ukrainian college have invented a pair of gloves that helps people who has hearing and speech problems to communicate with others. The gloves are set with sensors（传感器）that receive sign language and translate it into text on a smart phone. Then the smart phone changes the text to spoken.
Google Glasses

In short, Google Glasses are like a computer which is built into a pair of glasses. The glasses allow you to surf the Internet and make phone calls without even lifting a finger. All you have to do is to let your head move the mouse on the screen. The glasses also have a camera and GPS mapping system. Users can take and share photos, video-chat, check maps and surf the Internet just by looking up, down, left and right. But now they are on sale only in two countries, German and America.
小题1:Through the Talk Gloves, the sign words are translated for__________.
