Last Friday,6-year-old Landon Johnson went to the River Town Crossings Mall in Grandville with his family. While there, the boy and his cousins took turns chatting with Santa, sharing their Christmas desires.

After telling the man in red he wanted a Wii,a toy dinosaur and a remote control car, Landon hopped off Santa’s lap to rejoin his family.But a few moments later, he raced back to Santa’s side: he’d forgotten to tell him something important. Specifically,Landon shared his worry with Santa that his autism(自閉癥)would land him on the “naughty list”.

His mom, Naomi Johnson, explained to WOOD-TV this week that Landon is often told he's “naughty” by people who mistake his autism for bad behavior.“You get the stares when you're at the grocery store if he's too loud,” Johnson said. “He's been told by other people before, 'You don't need to be so naughty,'or ' Why are you naughty? '.”

Johnson says Santa took the time to listen to Landon's worries,and held the boy's hands all the while.“Santa sat him next to him and took Landon's hands in his and started rubbing them, calming them down. Santa asked Landon if it bothered him, having Autism? Landon said yes, sometimes. Then Santa told him it shouldn't. It shouldn’t bother him to be who he is,” Johnson said.

Landon told Santa that he sometimes “ gets in trouble at school and it's hard for people to understand that he has autism",but that he's “not a naughty boy”.

“You know I love you and the reindeer (馴鹿) love you and it's OK. You're a good boy",Santa told WOOD-TV about the chat with Landon.''You're a good boy,you know.”

Johnson said she was incredibly moved by Santa's thoughtful words.“This stranger in a red suit told my son the same message I’ve been trying to get through to him for a while now that he's special and I love him just the way he was made",the mom told Today.com.“Seeing Landon's face light up in that moment was just incredible.I couldn't stop crying. He was the real Santa Claus.”

Dear Editor,

I am writing tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether it is necessary of middle school students to have mobile phones. Most students think this is more convenient for them to keep in the touch with their parents and classmates. And what’s much, it’s a fashion. However, most teachers think middle school students are not old enough to control them. It is a waste of time for students to play games and sending messages on their mobile phones. Therefore, it is easy to make students contact with each other. In my opinion, following the fashion was understandable. But as middle school student, we should put all our energy into our study.

Yours truly,

Mary

Yacouba Sawadogo is an African farmer who has been travelling across the deserts for the last 30 years,using ancient farming techniques to fight the threatening deserts.

His story dates back to the 1980s when Africa suffered one of the worst droughts in its history.During that period,rainfall reduced by as much as 80%,killing almost all the plants.Most local people moved away to different places,but Yacouba stayed back.Instead of giving in to the violence of nature,he decided to take control and change the face of the land completely.

Unable to read and write,and with no access to modern techniques and tools,he started to employ an old African farming practice called “Zai”.The practice involves planting seeds in small holes filled with eco-friendly manure(肥料).The holes fill up with and keep the water that falls during the rainy season.This provides moisture(水分) and nutrients for the growing plants during the dry periods.Also,the manure attracts ants,which help break up the soil further and increase its ability to take in water.

Within two decades of starting his revolutionary work,a forested area of about fifty acres came up on the land of the African desert.Yacouba featured in a documentary titled “The Man Who Stopped the Desert” through which he became known to the rest of the world.To the great joy and relief of Yacouba,what the documentary focused on was put into the re-establishment of local forests and a training program for the farmers who wanted to 1earn Yacouba’s technique.Today,“Zai” is being widely practiced in the region.

1.What does the text mainly talk about?

A. A training program for African farmers.

B. A documentary about an influential African farmer.

C. The serious situation of environment destruction in Africa.

D. An African farmer fighting deserts with old farming methods.

2.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Yacouba advertised his farming practice through the media.

B. Yacouba’s efforts have made a great difference.

C. Rebuilding forests is no tough job at a11.

D. Deserts no longer threaten Africa.

3.Which word can best describe Yacouba?

A. Determined. B. Knowledgeable. C. Curious. D. Creative.

Most teens need 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night. But many teens have trouble sleeping. Lack of sleep can affect sports performance, increase our chances of getting sick, and may be linked to weight gain in some people. How can we get sleep we need? Here are some ideas:

1. You’ve probably noticed how much running around kids do — and how soundly they sleep. Take a tip from a little child and get at least 60 minutes of exercise a day. Physical activity can decrease stress and help people feel more relaxed. Just don’t work out too close to bedtime because exercise can wake you up.

●Avoid alcohol and drugs. Lots of people think that alcohol or drugs will make them relaxed, but that’s not the case. Drugs and alcohol disturb sleep. 2.

●Say goodnight to electronics. 3. You’d better make your bedroom a tech-free zone, at least shut everything down an hour or more before lights out.

●Keep a sleep routine. Going to bed at the same time every night helps sleep. 4. So you can relax by reading, listening to music or spending time with a pet.

●Expect a good night’s sleep. 5. Say, “Tonight, I will sleep well” several times during the day. It can also help to practice breathing exercises or gentle yoga poses before bed.

A. Be active during the day.

B. Do some extreme sports.

C. Either of them will make a person wake up at night.

D. Expert recommend using the bedroom for sleep only.

E. Creating a set bedtime procedure can improve this relaxation effect.

F. Instead of worrying that you won’t sleep, remind yourself that you can.

G. You can consult a doctor who will give you suggestions on how to sleep well.
