A small,white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree and it has been there for the past ten years or so.

It all began because my husband Justin hated Christmas―oh,not the true meaning of Christmas. Overspending was one thing,but compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts―running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma. . . spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.

Knowing Justin felt the same way,I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts,sweaters,ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.

Our son Kevin,who was 12 that year,was wrestling (摔跤) at the junior level at the school he attended;and shortly before Christmas,there was a match against a team sponsored (贊助) by an innercity church. These youngsters,dressed in such wornout shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together,while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.

As the match began,I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets (頭盔) to protect their ears. Well,our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.

Justin,seated beside me,shook his head sadly, "I wish just one of them could have won ," he said. "They have a lot potential (潛力) ，but losing like this could take the heart out of them. " Justin loved kids―all kids,and he knew them,having coached little league football and baseball. That's when the idea for his present came. That afternoon,I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to innercity church without leaving my name.

On Christmas Eve,I placed the envelope on the tree,the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.

A famous study was done in a school by a professor from a university. At the start of the school year,the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average (中等) ，and they were not the best students at all. Well,guess what? At the end of the year,all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.

What made these average students change so much to become the top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers' attitude (態(tài)度) .Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students,they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.

Do you know? If you expect the best from people,they'll usually give you their best. A great leader said, "Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside,and you'll make him even worse. But treat a person like he's already a success,and you'll help make him the best he can be."

The true story of 7-year-old Johnny has proved the words above. Johnny was a very naughty boy. His teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, "Johnny,you're the naughtiest boy in this class. I'm sure you'll never change. " The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of her class,she met Johnny after school and said, "Johnny,I've heard a lot about you!But do you know that I don't believe a word of it?" And every day after that,this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students in the class even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on,Johnny became a school leader. That's the power of the belief ('ft'fD and attitude toward children.

(   ) 11. The professor started his research by .

   A. telling the five students to work harder than ever before

   B. teaching the five children himself

   C. telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class

   D. asking the five children to find a new teacher

(   ) 12. The five average students became top students mainly because of .

   A. the professor's study

   B. the change in the professor's attitude

   C. the teachers' hard work

   D. the change in the teachers' attitude

(   ) 13. Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny?

   A. To show the importance of encouragement.

   B. To show that the boy was clever enough.

   C. To let us know the famous boy.

   D. To let us know how good his new teacher was.

(   ) 14. According to the story,we can learn that         .

   A. the research began at the end of the school year

   B. the students scored highest only because they worked hard

   C. if you expect the most from people,you'll get the least

   D. little Johnny liked his new teacher very much

(   ) 15. What does the passage mainly tell us?

   A. If you want to get more,you should have new teachers.

   B. Attitude and belief can change a person.

   C. A professor's study can help you score highest.

   D. Only teachers can make you a top student.

Fighting CD Copiers

How much do you want to pay for a CD by your favourite singer Jay Chou? Five yuan for a pirated one,or more for a real one?

Wang Ye,14. said she would like the real one although the pirated one is cheaper. "A real one is worth keeping for years," said the girl from No. 1Middle School in Wuhu,Anhui. "Real CDs always sound better to me."

What Can We Do?

People want to do more to help those like Wang to get real CDs.

This week the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI,國(guó)際唱片業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)) asked many countries to act against piracy.

In many places in China,the government is checking audio and video products (產(chǎn)品) . Pirated ones are broken into pieces.

Piracy is in your daily life. Don't believe it? A study by 21st Century Teens found that more than 75 percent of juniors had listened to pirated music. They say this is because pirated products are usually much cheaper than the real ones.

Why are real CDs so expensive? When a music company makes music,it needs to pay the song writers and singers. It costs a lot of money！This makes the prices of the CDs go up. Piracy is like stealing. People who make pirated copies of CDs take away the writers1 and singers' work without paying them. They don't even ask them if they can.

So next time you'd better keep your eyes widened when you see cheap CDs,remember you're helping someone to do something wrong if you buy them.

How Do I Know What's Real? Already made up your mind to buy real ones? Well,you should get to know what real CDs look like.

A real CD has the name and trademark of the music company on the cover. The company's address,telephone number and fax number are also on it.

If you open the CD box,you'll see the singer's name and the album title. Most important of all,a real CD has a number from the IFPI on it.

But people who make pirated CDs need the real CD and disks to copy them. That's why some CDs are only five yuan,but some may sell for 150.       

(   ) 11. A real CD has        on it.

   A. the name of the company

   B. the number from the IFPI

   C. the name of the singer

   D. all above

(   ) 13. Buying pirated CDs is just like         .

   A. stealing

   B. robbing

   C. helping someone do something wrong

   D. helping someone

(   ) 14. From the passage we get to know that some pirated audio and video products are

   A. moved away   B. destroyed

   C. broken   D. made smaller

The temperature of your body should be always just the same,no matter whether the weather is hot or cold. That is why the doctor uses his thermometer (溫度計(jì)) when you are sick. When you are well,your temperature is about 37^. If he finds it higher than that,it is a sure sign that something is wrong.

The body keeps the same temperature all the time,because it balances the heat it produces and gives off. It is always burning up food and producing heat. It will produce heat faster when it needs to,and give off heat faster when it is too hot. Let's see how this happens.

The heat of your body is given off chiefly through the skin. When you are cold,your skin is tight and shows " goose flesh". At this time you usually prefer warming up by exercise,or put on more clothes to keep heat in.

When you are hot,the skin is loose and soft. It is supplied with more blood,and the heat is given off rapidly. If you are very hot,you begin to sweat. In this way,more body heat is given off from your skin. You wear less clothes,too,so that the heat can be given off freely. You may not want to exercise at this moment because your body is hot already,and the extra heat produced by exercise makes you uncomfortable.

You will feel differently in different kinds of weather as well. In summer,when it is hot,you feel tired and lazy. You do not want to work or play,but enjoy lying down and doing nothing. But when you get out of doors in winter,the cold air makes you feel lively. You want to run and play.

(   ) 11. Doctors take a patient's temperature to see         .

   A. whether a person is ill or not

   B. if the patient's skin is loose or soft

   C. what the weather is like

   D. whether a person feels hot or cold

(   ) 12. How does the body keep the same temperature all the time?

   A. It balances the heat it gets and loses.

   B. It gives off the heat produced in it.

   C. It is always producing heat from food.

   D. It stops producing heat when necessary.

(   ) 13. When one feels too hot,he begins to sweat in order to         .

   A. produce more water

   B. give off heat quickly

   C. make the skin soft and loose

   D. get the blood to move faster

(   ) 14. We feel differently in different kinds of weather because .

   A. our body temperature is always changing with the weather

   B. warm weather makes us feel lazy and cold one makes us active

   C. we are moody according to the changes of temperature

   D. our bodies react differently to keep the same temperature

(   ) 15. We can read this article         .

   A. in a history look

   B. on a medicine bottle

   C. in a science book
