What do we really mean by being open? Being open is a kind of invitation to others to come in, to speak and to share. It’s important to let others get to know how we think and feel. In this way we will be understood and accepted by others. If we aren’t open with others, we won’t fully believe in ourselves or others.
Here are a few ways for you to be more open. First, make your outside behavior the same as your inside feelings and thoughts. Second, share how you really feel about something instead of just opinions. Third, try to change your questions into statements and talk in the first person so that it will be easier for people to understand. For example, you might say, “I feel happy that you’re here.” Instead of “ Are you glad that you’re here ?”
Remember also that it is not suitable to be open with everyone in every situation. You may want to be more open with close friends, but not with people you don’t know well, because you are not sure how someone else will use what they know about you. Besides, some people may not be used to too much openness. If we say everything we feel and think to them, they will feel very comfortable at times.
In all, being open is a good way for us to get on well with other people, we’d better keep the balance between being open and not being too open.

A public primary school in New York City has stopped giving its students homework.
P.S. 116 Principal Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents last month, explaining that after more than a year of analyzing (分析) studies, the school had decided that students’ after-school time would be better spent on activities like reading at their own pace (步伐) and playing instead of working on homework.
Hsu’s letter says that many studies show that there is no connection between homework and academic (学业的) success. Some other studies also show that the connection between homework and success is dubious at the primary school level.
Harris Cooper, a social psychologist who researches education, found that doing homework makes students perform better in school as they grew older. In later grades, students who did homework performed increasingly better than students who did not. In 2006, Cooper published a study that analyzed 15 years’ worth of data on the influence of homework. He found that homework had a good influence on students as they aged.
Some parents are not happy with the decision to give up homework. “I think they should have homework. I want my daughter to have fun, but I also want her to be working towards a goal,” Daniel Tasman, the father of a second-grader at the school, said to the reporter.
“Students have to do homework in order to gain. Students have to do homework because they may not be able to understand everything in school,” Sharon Blake, a student’s grandmother told ABC news.
1. The passage is probably from a .
A. newspaper B. comedy C. cartoon D. novel
2. Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents to explain .
A. how students should read at their own pace
B. what activities students could take at home
C. why the school gave up homework recently
D. how important the homework is for students
3. The word “dubious” in Paragraph 3 probably means “not ”.
A. clear B. public C. real D. special
4. What can we infer (推断) according to the passage?
A. Cooper found homework had a bad influence on students as they aged.
B. Some parents are worried about their children if there is no homework.
C. Some students are not happy with the decision to give up school homework.
D. Daniel Tasman wanted his daughter to have fun instead of working to a goal.

Success does not belong to a select group of individuals (个人). Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be a success.
Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be plain, clear, and it must also be exciting.
Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can’t have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you’re afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesn’t guarantee(保证) success, but if you don’t show up, you won’t succeed.
Fail. Unless you’re willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula (公式) for success is to double your rate of failure (失败). So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.
Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person can’t do. It’s about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, it’s about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. It’s the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.
Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination (终点). Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey.
Someone once said, “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” You have to change, you will change, and you will succeed.
1.Who does success belong to?
A. a select group of individuals

A. It’s not easy for people to develop their health.
B. You are sure to meet with some difficulty in your life.
C. Keeping working harder is necessary when you go after success.
D. Most people don’t want to spend too much time running.
4.Which of the following is TRUE about success according to the passage?
A. If you want to succeed, you should have special talents.
B. If you want to succeed, you’d better not show up.
C. Success is about doing what the common person can’t do.

In the 13th century, the famous Indian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China.
One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 11th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. ②Every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper . It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. This means that we are cutting down 48,000 trees every day.
Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don’t, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes.We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We can also use cotton handkerchiefs(手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect the trees. But we should do it now, before it is too late.
1.将处翻译成汉 .
2.根据②处完成下面的句子。(每空一词)
Every day ,about 2800 tons of paper _____ ____away by people all over the world.
3.根据短文内容完成下面句子。(每空一词)
Paper is made from trees,so we should try our best to save paper
_____ ______we can help protect the trees.
