I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.

Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150+ at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD. Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.

However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.

While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.

Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your videos. This has given me a purpose.

Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.

Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.

This is why you’re saving my life.

Yours,

Tanis

A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.

There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two - headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.

No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.

A. repeated without any change

【2】According to the passage, great fear can take place in a child when the story is _______.

A. in a realistic setting

B. heard for the first time

C. repeated too often

D. told in a different way

【3】The advantage claimed for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.

A. makes them less fearful

B. develops their power of memory

C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of

D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs

【4】One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.

A. they are full of absurd imagination

B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth

C. they are not interesting

D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach

Your Teen Is Falling Asleep in Class

Teens have a busy morning schedule as they need to wake up and get moving very early in order to catch a bus and get to school by the required time. This means teens need to get their rest the night before or they will be too tired to learn anything at school. 【1】

When a teen falls asleep in class, two things happen: he/she misses what is being taught and he/she loses the respect of the teacher. He/She may also receive a consequence (后果) from the school, depending on the classroom discipline (纪律) policy. 【2】

To prevent your teen from being sleepy in class, try these three tips：

*Set a time for “lights out” on school nights. This is never be any later than 10 p.m. and preferably 9 p.m. 【3】 Soft music can be on and used to help calm your teen.

*Help your teen develop a nighttime routine (常规) that involves（牵涉） activities that slow them down for the end of the day. 【4】 Turning off the computer and disconnecting from friends and the excitement of the day an hour before bedtime will also help your teen relax.

* 【5】 This will reinforce (增强) what it feels like to be rested and capable （有能力）of achieving what he/she wants.

A. What's worse, they may even fall asleep in class.

B. Taking a bath and reading are two activities that work well.

C. Set a good example and show him/her your love for learning.

D. Point out the positives after your teen has had a good night's rest.

E. “Lights out” means the computer, television, lights and cell phone should be off.

F. All of these things affect your teen's academic(学术) success and can be avoided（避免）.

G. While your teen keeps his/her goals（目标） in line with（与……一致） your expectations, he/she may have his/her own goals.

One day before the final exam, she came up to me and said, “Could you please explain this 【3】 me? I want very much to do 【4】 (well) this time.” I started explaining, and finished in a hurry. 【5】 (pretend) not to notice her still-confused eyes, I ran off quickly. Not surprisingly, she again 【6】 (do) very badly in the exam. And two months later, at the beginning of the new semester, word came of her 【7】 (die). No one knew about the little task I failed 【8】(fulfill), but I couldn’t forgive myself. I simply couldn’t forget her eyes, 【9】 seem to be asking, “Why didn’t you do a little more to help me?”

It was the very starting point of my life, for I began to understand the word “responsibility” and to learn to always do my duties 【10】 (faithful) and devotedly.

Last summer I had a chance to visit Paris. That attracted me most was the Eiffel Tower, where has become a symbol of France. I was deeply impressed by their height. I have never seen such tall building before! It is made of iron and it is about 7000 tons heavy. There have 1711 steps from the bottom to the top. Climb the tower made me very tired, but I was very exciting. I took a lot of photo in Paris.

I have much memories and experiences to share. I will remember my trip to the France forever!

But what exactly is beauty?It's difficult to describe it clearly,and we know it when we find it.Our【5】(aware) of it may start from an early age.In a study,six-month-old babies【6】(show)a series of photographs.The faces in the pictures had been rated by attractiveness.Babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive ones.

For better or worse,beauty plays【7】role in our life.But it is【8】(extreme)difficult to describe exactly what makes a person attractive to another.Although there are certain physical traits【9】(consider) universally appealing,it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single standard.Beauty really is,【10】the saying goes,in the eye of the beholder（旁观者）.
