Character, courage and confidence are words you might use to describe your heroes. These words can describe you! Take action as follows and you’ll be a hero, too!
Part 1: Character
Character is something that makes you the person you are like being honest, friendly, and helpful. See the chart below. On the left is our standard of good character. Write down your promise for each line on the right. Then, get a witness（證人）to sign it. Put it up where you’ll see it every day and do your best to keep it.
To build your character
Your promise
I will do my best to…
 
be honest and fair.
eg. I’ll tell the truth when mom asks if I have finished my homework.
be friendly and helpful.
eg. I’ll help my friend with lessons.
be polite and kind.
eg. I’ll show good manners in class.
be courageous and strong.
eg. I’ll take part in the English singing contest.
Part 2: Courage
Of course it’s going to take a lot of courage t keep your promise. Courage is challenging yourself to do something even though you think it might be hard. For each promise, find out two or three ways to help you keep it. For example, if you think that Being Honest is the hardest promise for you to keep, one of the ways might be “Tell people about my promise so that I won’t break it”.
Part 3: Confidence
Confidence is believing that you have the skills to do something. Do you have a beautiful singing voice? Are you a good painter? There are all talents that can make you feel good, as well as the people around you. Once you’ve decided what your special skill is, think about how you can use your skill to make your corner of the world a better place. If you’re good at art, try painting a picture on an old wall in your school (of course, make sure you’re allowed).
小題1:According to the writer, a hero should be           .
A. beautiful                  B. confident              C. good-looking
小題2:If your promise is “I’ll show good manners in class,” you’re trying to be           .
A. useful                   B. polite                 C. brave
小題3:What is the most important thing to build your character?
A. Do your best to keep your promise.            
B. Write down your promise.
C. Look at your promise every day.
小題4:If someone asks you for help, you will be               .
A. honest                   B. strong                 C. helpful
小題5:What can we learn from the passage?
A. A good painter can have confidence.

But please do not feel excited, you should feel sad because we have to live under the sea. Because of the pollution, the earth has been completely destroyed, from top to bottom. The atmosphere has no oxygen and moisture. As a result, the plants are burned by the strong sunlight with a great number of harmful rays. Of course, none of them are still alive. Not only no green, but also the temperature reaches about 121℃ all day even in winter because there is too much CO2 circling the earth.
On the land, there is no life. Luckily, the sea is not destroyed by human. So, we have to move into the sea. At the bottom of the water, people have built many new cities.

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s mistake.” or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming (指責) somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at solving problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague (同事) causes you problems on the job for being short of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t depend on the person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about – creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and chances to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose mistake it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
小題1: What does the underlined word “remedy” probably mean?
A．Avoid.B．Accept.
C．Improve.D．Consider.
小題2: When your colleague brings about a problem, you should ______.
A．blame him for his being short of responsibility
B．find a better way to deal with the problem
C．tell him to find the cause of the problem
D．a(chǎn)sk a more able colleague for help
小題3: What can be the best title for the passage?
A．A Winner’s Secret.B．A Winner’s Chance.
C．A Winner’s Problem.D．A Winner’s Progress.

Do you know why so many animals do not stay in one place? Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another place at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration is probably the migration of fish, which is called “salmon”(鮭魚). This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it will return to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龍蝦). Every year, when the season of the bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another place, but at other times we don’t. Maybe living things just like to travel.

小題1:The reason for most of the animals to move is ________.
A．to get away from un-crowded placesB．to find their own parents
C．to want to kill themselvesD．to find food more easily
小題2:Where does young salmon(鮭魚) spend its life?
A．In fresh water.B．In salt water.
C．In mountain homes.D．In its birthplace.
小題3: When do the lobsters(龍蝦) begin to move another place?
A．When their homes become too crowded.
B．When the season of the bad weather arrives.
C．When they want to give birth.
D．When their food is eaten up.
小題4: The underlined word migration in the passage means ________.
A．遷徙B．習性
C．運動D．尋覓

A habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.
First, look at why you do it. In other words, what’s the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!
Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you’ll find that it’s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose?
