What can we do to be a great student Read the following five traits (特征) all great students have.They ask questions.
Most teachers want students to ask questions when they do not understand what has been taught. It is truly the only way a teacher knows whether students really understand something. Good students aren’t afraid to ask questions because they know that if they do not understand what the teacher said, it may have a bad effect (作用) on their study.They’re problem solvers.
Problem-solving is an important skill that schools have to work on developing. Those students who do have true problem-solving abilities are able to face different challenges.They’re hard workers.
The perfect student isn’t necessarily the smartest one. The hard-working students will finally be the most successful in life. Being a hard worker means completing homework on time, putting effort into schoolwork, realizing weaknesses and looking for ways to improve.They seize opportunities (抓住机会).
In our country, every child has free public education. Unluckily, not everyone makes full use of that. It is true that every child must go to school for some time, but that doesn’t mean that every student seizes that opportunity and tries hard. However, the best students make full use of the opportunities.They can be trusted.
No one wants to get on with people whom they cannot trust. Good students take opportunities seriously to show that they can be trusted because they know winners never cheat.

How can you choose ethical behavior in a difficult situation You can ask yourself a few questions to express your feelings, but your answers must be honest. The first question is, “If I do it, will it hurt somebody ” If the answer is yes, then it might not be the right thing to do. The second question is, “If I do it, will I feel bad finally ” If we do something wrong, we will feel sorry about it. And the final question is, “What’s my first feeling about is Does it feel right ” You can get a good idea from these all and it’s like receiving a message on whether your behavior is ethical.
Doing things according to your ethics isn’t always the easiest thing to do, but it’s always the right thing to do.

“I wish I had straight hair”, “I’d like to be taller”. At times, we all want to look a bit more like someone else. However, the truth is that no two people in the world are exactly the same—and that’s a good thing. Accepting and feeling good about our bodies is really important because you are more than how you look.
Body confidence is when we accept and behave kindly towards our body. That includes our size and shape, skin color, appearance and any physical (身体的) disabilities.
If you feel positively (积极地) about your body, you are more likely to take care of it. Research has even shown that you are more likely to take part in activities and perform well in school. However, feeling worried about your body could make you do less well at school and even feel down. If you’re spending a lot of time trying to achieve the “perfect” appearance, you will have less time to spend with friends and to make important memories.
To develop a positive body image (形象), try not to talk bad about your own body and other people’s bodies. Try not to pay much attention to appearance. Instead, think about what your body does for you. Treat your body well by eating different kinds of foods, exercising to feel good. And getting plenty of sleep.

Body image (身体形象) — the way people feel about their looks — is a big problem for many people today.
But what’s the cause In the study, many people point at the media (媒体). Turn on the TV, or look through the Internet and you’ll probably see beautiful models, handsome actors and healthy and strong sports stars.
Many young people feel stressed to look like these “perfect” people. According to a study, more than half the teenage girls in the USA think they should be on a diet. And almost 20% teenage boys are worried about their bodies and weight.
Body image problems don’t disappear as we get older, either. In the UK, for example (化妆品) than any other age group. Older men are having less and less hair, so they also spend a lot of money.
Is there a solution to this problem A study in the UK advised that body image lessons should be provided in schools. Others suggest we need to judge (判断) people by what they do, not what they look like.

Spacing between words
Do you leave a large space between your words when you write According to a study, the distance between two words can show how close or how far you feel towards others.

Have you ever found yourself trying to be overly nice to someone, even if it didn’t come naturally This often happens at work. People usually do this to avoid (避免) hurting others’ feelings or causing problems. However, it’s important to understand that being overly nice can sometimes lead to worse results.
One reason is that people who are too nice often don’t share their real thoughts and feelings. For example, when they should give honest feedback (反馈), they just say “good job” instead. Also, if someone doesn’t do well at work, being nice by not pointing out their mistakes can make things worse. That’s because they won’t have a chance to get better. What’s more, being overly nice can also lead to more anxiety (焦虑). When you avoid talking about problems, they don’t disappear-they stay hidden (隐藏的) and build up stress and worry. For example, if your friend keeps cutting you off when you talk, being too nice might make you afraid to ask them to stop. This silence then causes stress every time you chat, and the problem never goes away.
What should we do about this First, have the courage to voice your feelings. If something troubles you, express it kindly. For example, share your thoughts in a caring way instead of staying silent. Second, give specific feedback (具体的反馈). Instead of saying “good job”, be specific. Try: “really liked how you organized the activities in this meeting.” Specific words help others understand what they did well and what they can keep doing in the future. Third, remember that different opinions are okay.
Discussing differences can make teams stronger. Being honest doesn’t mean being unkind—it means caring enough to help others grow and making sure everyone does their best.
In short, being honest and direct helps us to do better in relationships and teamwork. Sometimes, this matters more than being overly nice.
SummaryThe passage tells us that being overly nice can cause 41 . It may make people afraid to share real thoughts, stop others from getting better and cause anxiety to people. For example, people may give praise 42 specific feedback. To solve this, we should be brave to express feelings kindly, offer specific feedback and accept 43 . The writer wants to encourage us to be honest and direct instead of being overly nice. He hopes we can balance kindness with honesty 44 relationships and teamwork.

What did people do to communicate in ancient times Here are some very interesting answers to this question.
Alphorns (阿尔卑斯长号角) were once used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland. They are very long and they are very heavy too. So, alphorns are hard work to blow. Then why use them Well, they make a loud sound which travels much farther than the human voice. Herdsmen (牧民) used them to call cows in the distance for milking. At sunset, alphorns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. These days, they’re mostly used as musical instruments.
The people of La Gomera, an island in Europe, have their own special way of sending messages from mountain to mountain. They use a whistled (口哨的) language called el silbo, which comes from their language Spanish. Whistling can be heard within five kilometres, which means it can be used across much greater distances than shouting. El silbo can be used for all kinds of messages, including greetings and announcements. El silbo is used a lot less than it used to be, but primary school students in La Gomera have to learn it.
Did you know it’s also possible to send messages without making a noise This is called visual communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal (信号) tower, they lit a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they lit fires too. In this way, messages about the enemy’s arrival could travel as far as 800 kilometres in just a few hours.

Honesty is valuable in the world. There are five qualities (特征) of honest people.
Honest people have no interest in competition for popularity. They don’t pay too much attention to what others think of them.
Honest people don’t go looking for fights, but they aren’t afraid to speak their mind. Honest people will express their opinions bravely even when their beliefs (信念) are against other people. While sometimes this may cause some trouble, most people respect honesty and admire those who stick to their beliefs.
Honest people don’t get angry easily. It requires a thick skin (不计较面子) to stay honest. Not all people love to hear the truth. When honest people tell the truth, other people may get angry. Honest people may be hurt by them so that they need to have thick skin.
Honest people often have long, deep friendships. Their friends know that they won't discuss them behind their back, and will instead deal with problems in a direct way. This allows for deeper, healthier relationships.
We can ask honest people for help and advice. They will not tell us the story that we want to hear. Although it may help avoid bad feelings, sometimes the difficult truth is the only thing we really need to know.

Bridging Cultures Through Communication
In our connected world, cross-cultural communication is becoming very important. When people from different countries meet, understanding cultural differences can help avoid problems and create friendships.
The first lesson is about body language. In Western cultures, a strong handshake shows confidence. But in Japan, people usually bow slightly instead. Americans think eye contact (接触) means honesty, while in some Asian countries, too much eye contact may seem impolite. Even simple actions like thumbs-up (竖大拇指) can cause confusion—it means “good” in the US but is rude (粗鲁的) in parts of the Middle East.
Good listening is another key. In Finland, people often stay silent for a moment after someone speaks to show respect. However, in Brazil, silence might make people uncomfortable. My Spanish friend once told me, “When I first visited China, I thought silent listeners weren’t interested. Later I learned it’s their way to show careful thinking.”
Speaking local expressions builds trust. When my classmate Emma visited Paris, saying “Bonjour” (hello) and “Merci” (thank you) made French people smile. But direct translation sometimes fails. The English saying “break a leg” (meaning good luck) would sound scary if translated into other languages! The Chinese idiom “马马虎虎” (horse-horse-tiger-tiger) actually means “just okay”, which often puzzles (使困惑) foreigners.
To improve, watch foreign movies, read travel books, or join international school projects. Never be afraid to ask friendly questions like “Could you teach me a local custom (习俗) ” Remember, mistakes are normal. Last month, our German exchange student accidentally used the informal (非正式的) “du” (you) in a formal meeting. Everyone laughed kindly, and it became a fun culture lesson!

Introverted people, or “I-type” people (“内向的人”或“I人”), often feel shy or nervous around many people. But there are ways to feel better.
Start small Instead of trying to talk in big groups, introverts can speak to just one person. This helps them feel comfortable. They can talk about easy topics like hobbies or favorite books.
Practicing Introverts can practice saying hello to themselves in the mirror or pretend (假装) to have conversations with family or friends. This can make real conversations easier later on.
Choose quiet places Introverts often like quiet places better than loud ones. A small get-together at home might feel better than a big party.
Take breaks It’s okay to take short breaks. If introverts feel too nervous at an event, they can step away for a few minutes to relax. This helps them feel ready to join in again.
If you can start as I suggested above, introverted students can slowly get better at dealing with social situations and start to enjoy being with others more.

When we talk, we want others to listen with attention. But when someone else is speaking, are we showing them the same politeness
Most people don’t listen well and attentively. Because most of us live in a busy world, we care about certain things and miss the rest. This also means we often don’t really focus on what people are saying. One way to listen with more care and attention is to practice active listening.
Active listening is focusing on what someone is communicating and giving your understanding. Active listening is not only hearing someone’s words but also taking notes of their nonverbal (非语言的) communication. Nonverbal communication can include body language, the tone (语调) and their talking speed. By practicing active listening, we can hold onto important information better and show care to others. This useful skill encourages others to discuss more things with us.
To get better at active listening, give the speaker your complete attention. Although this may seem clear and easy to notice and understand, it is easier said than done. Stopping thinking about your phone and clearing your mind of your own thoughts are the first steps. By forgetting those things that could influence you, it’s easier to give your complete attention to the speaker.
Another way to practice active listening is to notice body language. Research shows that 55% of face-to-face communication is nonverbal,38% vocal and 7% words. When someone is speaking, their body language is giving information, too. With that in mind, you can give proper replies like nodding, smiling or looking at them with-politeness.
Now do you know how to listen actively
Problem: Most people 69 to listen well and attentively, although they experience same from others. Solution: Active listening Meanings of active listening Focusing on other’ communication and giving your 70
Paying attention to both verbal and non-verbal communication
Benefits of active listening Getting important information better
Showing care to others
Encouraging further 71
72 to practice active listening Giving full attention by forgetting things that could distract you

Many people think this chore is boring and tiring. Then a China-made dishwasher is the perfect answer to free up time and bring happiness.
“I bought a dishwasher when I decorated my new home. The dishes are clean after washing, and it saves time for me to do other things,” said Wu Peng, an office worker from Guangzhou.
Dishwashers went into our lives in the late 1980s. At that time, they were too expensive for most people, so only some rich families used them. However, in 2015, a Chinese company created the world’s first sink dishwasher (水槽洗碗机). This helped the market grow and made dishwashers more common among Chinese families.
In 2023, the dishwashers made in China sold more than the dishwashers from other countries for the first time. In that year, China sold about 1.94 million (百万) dishwashers in China and about 5.8 million dishwashers in other countries. Chinese dishwashers can be so successful because they can clean dishes better and save energy. “The dishwashers are smart and we just need to start them through a button (按钮). And washing the dishes is not boring at all. All my family are happy to do that,” a woman from Chengdu said.
With more and more people around the world looking for a comfortable life, dishwashers can be a great help. As technology keeps improving, the need for dishwashers in China is expected to keep growing. In the future, there may be a dishwasher in every family.
