Dear Debbie,

I’m not good at communicating with others, so my classmates don’t like talking to me. When my best friend isn’t there, I just sit at my desk quietly. I’m not good enough for anyone. I just want to die. My parents think I’m fine, and I don’t want to worry them. But I started crying in class today. What should I do?

Amy

Dear Amy,                                                                            

I was like you four years ago. I think we live in a world where we often compare ourselves with others. I think you should really look at yourself in the mirror and try praising (表扬) yourself. It helped you love yourself more. You know, almost everyone experiences those feelings many times in their lives. Surprised? But it’s true.

Many people think you are good enough. I am one of them. I am sure your parents and your friends feel the same. Go outside and try to hang out with people. Make small steps.

Lastly, talk with a psychiatrist (心理医生). And trust your psychiatrist. If you can’t trust him or her, then you may get the wrong person. Find another one.

I say these things because I was in your shoes once. I was ready to die. But years later, I’m here and talking to you about it. Don’t give up.

Debbie

Last year, I went to Beijing Qizhi Special Education School for community service（社区服务）.Before we took the bus, my friend asked me a question, “Why are you here?” I did not know how to answer the question.

The school was not far from my school, but it looked like it was in a different world. A group of children were waiting for us. A boy walked toward me. He held my hands and pulled me to the ground. I kissed the earth and tasted nature.

I could not understand what he was doing at first, then I was very angry. Though I was very angry, I controlled my anger.

A teacher stopped this awkward（尴尬的）silence when she shouted at the boy. “What are you doing right here, right now?” she said. “You will never see your mom again if you keep doing this. Now, say sorry!” “Sorry,” he cried fearfully and nervously. I said nothing, but I realized something about this child. After lunch I asked the teacher for information about the child’s parents.

She said that the child was very different from other students because of an illness. His family could not afford to treat him. He needed the kindness of his family, but they had abandoned him. So he depended on the support from the teachers and community service workers like us.

I suddenly realized I could answer the question my friend asked me at the beginning of the day.

Community service workers help others and make everyone feel better. There are so many people in the world that need help. Playing with lonely children may not make a big difference. But it can light a corner in the children’s hearts, making them know they are loved by people.

40．How did the writer reach Beijing Qizhi Special Education School?

A．By train B．By car. C．By bus.           C．By taxi.

41．Why did the writer get angry?

A．Because a boy held the writer’s hands. B．Because the writer did not like to taste nature.

C．Because a boy pushed the writer to the ground. D．Because a boy was impolite to the writer.

42．The boy acted differently from others because _______.

A．he was sick B．his parents didn’t like him

C．he was nervous and fearful D．he always lived with teachers

43．The underlined word “abandoned” most probably means “_______”.

A．hurt B．left C．sold D．forgotten

44．From the passage we can learn that the writer __________.

A．helped so many people in the world B．played with the lonely boy after lunch

C．learned the meaning of community service D．wasn’t good at answering the questions about community service.

例文

We Should Do Chores at Home

We should do chores at home. Now many students don’t like doing chores at home. There are mainly two reasons. Firstly, they think it’s their parents’ job to do chores at home. Secondly, they think doing chores takes up their time for study.

But I think we should help do chores at home because our parents are busy with their work and often tired after work. I often do chores at home, like making the bed, watering flowers, cleaning the rooms, taking out the rubbish and doing the dishes.

In my opinions, it’s our duty to do the chores to help our parents. And it can help develop our independence. I think doing chores is relaxing.
