A clever rabbit

One hot afternoon, Miss Rabbit goes out for food. She finds a big pumpkin in the field. “How big it is! I’ll carry it home. But the pumpkin is too heavy. What can I do?” The rabbit is sitting on the road.

Just then, Mr. Panda comes over on his bike. He says, “Let’s put the pumpkin on my bike and take it to your home.” “No, thanks,” says the rabbit. Miss Rabbit looks at the wheels (轮子) of the bike and has a good idea. She turns the pumpkin over and rolls it as a wheel works. It is much easier and soon she gets to her house.

Winter is a time for many exciting sports: sledding (乘雪橇), skating and skiing. Skating and skiing need lots of skills. Sledding gives you good exercise and is lots of fun!

A sled looks like a boat. It can move easily over snow or ice. Early sleds were made of wood. Now some better sleds are made of glass.

Sleds can be pulled（被拉）by animals. In some very cold parts of the world, people make animals like dogs, horses, and reindeer (驯鹿) pull(拉) goods(货物) or people in sleds.

People also sled for sports and fun. Driving a sled does not need much skill. The driver gives a kick(踢) in the snow to start the sled. He or she can also ask someone else for help. In a sled, there can be one person(人) or several(几个).

Usually, you have to lie on your back, feet first in a sled. As you travel, you move your body and feet to keep it in the right direction (方向).

There is a special sled called the skeleton sled (骨架雪橇). It’s very different.

On a skeleton, you lie on your stomach and drive the sled in a head-first way. It is very fast! Many people are afraid to ride it. But once they try it, they want to do it again!

How can you become a superhero? You don’t have to be able to fly or have super-human strength (力量). In her new book, Danika Gordon thinks that everyone has his or her own super power (能力): to be kind and help others.

Both at school and in her community (社区), the 13-year-old girl from South Dakota is a role model (模范) for helping others. She finds joy in being kind and calls on(号召) others to do it. This summer, Danika wrote her first book, What Makes You a Super Hero?

“There are lots of little stories in the book,” said Danika. “It tells kids that through everyday actions of being kind, helpful and thoughtful (周到的), they have the powers to be a super hero.”

Gordon’s idea came from her own experience（经历） when she was 8 years old. At that time, Gordon experienced bullying (欺凌) at primary school. But she never thought of getting revenge (复仇) or lost hope. Her mum always tells her that the strongest power is one’s kindness.

From last year, Gordon visited the Sturgis Elementary after-school program each month to share a 30-minute lesson with them.

She believes that when students are bullied（被欺）, they should get help from teachers and parents, and not think about revenge. That only makes things worse. Kindness is stronger than nastiness (卑劣的行为). That’s the power of kindness.

Answer the following questions:（ No more than 6 words）

1.What is everybody’s super power in Danika’s opinion(观点)?

2.Why do people see Danika as（视…为） a role model?

“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?” We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world. 

It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs. 

But there are also some problems. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language. Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of difficulties. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.  Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high.    

We know that there are many famous people who have had success through their hard work in China. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.
